Baku Oil Workers
Protest Foreigners
Grabbing in Persia
(Rosta News)

MOSCOW, July Accommodating
upon the oil policy of the Soviet gov
eminent in Persia. the Baku Worker
writes that the Union of Soviet So
cialist Republics, which is connected
by brotherly bonds with the toilers of
Persia, cannot let the enemies Of the
Eastern toilers exploit the latter. In
deed, the paper points out, Persia has
become an arena of competition be-
tween foreign capitalists and i'm
perialists with all the ruinous con-
sequences following therefrom. Where
as it discloses the crimes of those who
betray and sell the interests of the
Persian people, the Soviet Union will
show Persia who are her friends and
who the enemies.

LOYAL DETROIT
FICHTER-FRIEND
OF WORKERS DIES
Frances Ellaire Dead
After Accident
BY CYRIL LAMaKIN.

Especial to the DAILY WoRkER)
DETROIT, Mich, July S.-The De-
troit movement mourns the loss of
Comrade Frances Ellaire, who died
last week from injuries sustained in
an automobile accident.
A descendant of the original French
settlers Of Detroit, she inherited both
their rugged constitution and their
pioneering spirit. From the day,
about half century ago, when she
scandalized the staid citizens Of old
Detroit by riding into town on horse
back to listen to the first woman suf-
frage speech by Susan B. Anthony, to
the day of her death, she participated
in every forward movement.
Always For Oppressed.
The movements for the liberation
Of the oppressed particularly found a
friend and supporter in Comrade
Frances Ellaire. The Russian peas
ants and workers until they liberated
themselves from the double yoke of
czarism and landlordism, the Hindoos
suffering from the greed Of British
Imperialism. the Negroes in the
United States, all received energetic
moral as well as financial aid. But
above all she was close sympathizer
and supporter of the revolutionary
working class movement organizing
for the complete overthrow of the
capitalist system of oppression and
exploitation.
Gave Generous Bonds.
Despite her SO years, Comrade
Frances Ellaire participated in all of
the auxiliary work of our Party,
which is so important to the move
ment. She worked tirelessly in the
F. S. r., in the defense, in the general
educational work carried on thru the
workers Educational Association. In
the campaign for raising bail for the
Bridgeman defendants she gave her
self $20,OO0.O0 property bonds. But
she was not satisfied with this alone.
Only a few weeks before her death
she expressed her intention to be-
come a full fiedged member Of the
Party.
The growing revolutionary move
ment Of Detroit will forever cherish
the memory of Comrade Frances FL.
laire, who always was a tireless and
devoted co-worker, never halted by
obstacles nor discouraged by defeats.

ting a body of docile workers by
promising a gift which may be
repudiated at pleasure even tho
the employe has fulfilled his side
of the bargain.
At company's Mercy.
Morris & Co." says the bill of
complaint planned and did in fact put
the members, pensioners and bene-
ffciaries Of the fund at its mercy and
under its control as to their freedom
of action for fear of loss of pensions"
Employees were forced to join within
6 months after being hired and to
sign the rules of the plan on the
dotted line contributing thereafter 8
per cent of their pay.
The promise was that they would
be pensioned at SIS years provided
they had rendered at least 20 years
of continuous service. But as pen
sioners they were still subject to the
control of the company being unable
to take job unless approved by the
company's representative. Further
more they were subject to call in case
the company needed men either on
account of labor shortage or to break
strikes.
Pension Promise Worthless.
Events have shown that the COM
pany's promise of a pension for life
in return for this abject servitude
was worthless just as soon as pack
er capitalists decided to merge Morris
with Armour.
The extent to which corporations
thruout the country are adopting pen
sion systems in order to control a
docile working force is shown by
Armstrong who cites figures to show
that by 1920 pension systems had
been put into effect by 20 railroads,
II transit companies, 6 gas and cleo
trio companies, As manufacturing and
commercial concerns, "a banks, in
surance companies and % miscellan-
eous concerns, a total of 142. Since
1920, he says, the number has been
materially extended.
Pensions and Strikes.
"a careful study of industrial pen
sion systems" he says will carry the
conviction that pensions are not
established from any pure sense of
altruism toward aged and infirm EN-.
ployes. Pension systems admittedly
bring the employer most valuable and
recognized considerations. In the
case of Morris & Co. these advan-
tages won by the boss included (1)
20 years or more of continuous serv-
ice, (2) more efficient service because
loss of job meant loss of pension,
60 full working force when labor was
scarce. (4) freedom from threat of
strikes, (5) 8 per cent of wages, 60
control over employees work even
after retirement and Cd first call at
all times on services of retired en-
ployes to help break strikes.
A Business Proposition.
Courts, big business men, mer.
chants associations and state com.
missions are quoted in the brief in
support of the assertion that corpora
tions establish such pensions not as
gifts, but as good business PROPOSE
tons. The N. Y. Merchants associa.
ton describes the more prominent
effects which employers hope to OBJ,
tain as increased loyalty of employees
increased efficiency, reduction OF
labor turnover, attraction of a super,
Tor type of employe, decrease or
even elimination of labor troubles

and increase in thrift of individual
employees" While the Pennsylvania
pension commission reports the claim
by many employers that the system
is doing much to reconcile the two
classes" by reducing "the extent of
industrial discomfort"
Dealing with the legal aspects of
the attempt to discontinue promised
pensions after the employees have per-
formed their part, Armstrong recites
court opinion to the effect that ito
allow the employer In such case to
repudiate liability would come peril
ously near conniving at the perpetra-
ton of a fraud"

slums are fed to the dogs perhaps.
They think they have solved the So
cial problem and are free to devote
themselves to less arduous pursuits.
1t is small wonder that Mrs. Hoffman
finds strong response among the wom-
en- housekeepers who have Joined the
league.
Birth Control Interests Mothers.
Another subject which arouses
great deal of attention among women
workers is the question of sex hygiene
and birth control. At this some Of our
comrades will perhaps lift their eye
brows. Why should we Communists
have anything to do with that fad!
Birth control may be fad to rich
woman, it may be exploited by anti
quated Ma1thusians, but the fact that
wrong kinds of people are interested
in the problem does not make it less
vital to the working woman, who has
no far fetched theories connected
with it-only the every day common
sense interest in relieving herself
from the overburdening load of
large family. Married women can OBJ
tain more leisure, health and some
economic relief thru birth control. 1t
does not mean that birth control is
the cure for all ills, as some followers
of it claim. 1t is one of the most i'm
portant, practical, every day problems
in the life of every woman, particular
ly of a working woman. This we
Communists, who want to understand
actual life worries of women, have to
consider.
1t is not mere chance that lecture
on birth control always draws a large
crowd of women, working women
even more than women of the upper
classes.
Tell Union Women, Too.
have proved that to a manager of
the lectures for a large union consist
ing of women. / advised him to or
ganize lectures on sex hygiene, and,
behold They were better attended
than any other lectures given before.
In my own experience l have found
that among women in unions, women
of the working class, of different ma
tionalities, interest in sex hygiene lee
lures is great, and the lectures-to
which women go looking for informa-
ton on birth control-are always
crowded Our comrades have grounds
for prejudice against this topic, be-
cause it is and has been exploited by
people who try to concentrate all en-
ergy upon that subject, and think
birth control a panacea for poverty
and war.
Many prominent leaders of birth
control. however, have given up such
an attitude. Mrs. Mary Dennet of the
Voluntary Parenthood league raps the
fallacies Of Nautilus, and the same has
been done by DR.. Marie Slopes of
England, founder of the first birth
control clinic there.
AS long as birth control is an i'm
portant part of the woman workers
life, it is our duty to give her the
correct viewpoint, seeing how falsely
the idea had been exploited. Other
wise one might as well ignore trade
unionism because Gompers & Co.
think to achieve the workers eman-
cipation by it alone.
The experience of the Mothers
league Of Massachusetts, clearly points
out the way to reach women-wives
and housekeepers-and organize them
into class conscious group AYsre,
spending to their economic interests
and aiding them in their solution, be
that problem Of rent. food or birth
control.

New Disease of Peaches
Discovered in Indiana

Purdue university experts are seek
ing remedy or prevention for bac-
terium pruni new disease Of peaches
which has caused much loss in south
ern Indiana, and are asking orchard
lists to be on the lookout for evidences
of the diseases In nursery stock. The
disease is most pronounced on the
leaves, causing irregular, purplish
spots and causing the leaves to fall,
weakening the tree. On the fruit the
disease is in smaller spots but more
decided purplish color, and on the
year-old or younger wood it appears
purplish brown, often cauAng slightly
raised cankers around the leaf scars.
It Is thought wInd-drlven rain spreads
the disease. So far no remedy has
been found.

Grass Quite Essential
for Starting GoSlings

Goslings do not thrive in small bare
enclosures as they ere naturally grass
eaters. A range abundantly covered
with tender grass and shade are es-
sential TO their growth During the
heat Of the day they need protection
from the hot sun. A high mortality
rate results when goslingS are placed
In bare fenced enclosures With the
idea of protecting them from injury
by other birds or animals, writes X. e..
Kirby In the Farm and Ranch.
Tender grass can be used as the
only feed for goslings for the first
two days. Then use q moist mash
five times day. An easily made
mash consists Of two-thirds mid
dlings and one-third corn meal, bran.
middlings and rolled oats moistened
with skim milk. Some breeders start
the goslings on bread and milk The
bread is soaked In milk and squeezed
nearly dry before feeding.
After the first week the goslings
will relish scalded cracked corn. The
goslings are grass eaters and not gram
eaters, and If any part of their ration
Is ever neglected be sure 1t Is not
the regular supply Of tender green
grass which they can soon harvest
for themselves on the right kind OF
range.

Undesirable Flavors or
Odors Nav Be Prevented

Silage odOrs are absorbed largely
through the body Of the cow rather
than from the air, according to tests
made by the United States Department
OF Agriculture. However, these Odors
may be practically or entirely removed
by the aeration of the milk while it is
still warm. Rather heavy feeds of
silage may be given to cows one hour
after milking without any undesirable
favors or odors passing into the milk.
When green alfalfa was fed In relative
ly large quantities one hour befoA
milking marked flavors and odors were
noticed in the milk, but when as much
as 80 pounds per cow vas fed after
milking there was no effect on the
milk from the next milking.

April Favored by Many
for Sowing Red Glover

Many farmers seed clover as early
as February, while others wait until
April and SOW with apparently equal
success. Some SOW half the seed early
and half late since very light seed
ing will be sufficient under favorable
conditions. The month Of March IS
recommended by many. A honey
combed or dry, frozen condition OF the
soil is likely to exist at that time. A
dry. cracked condition develops lit
tie later and it is considered by these
men as second choice.

Potatoes Taste Sweet

The reason for potatoes becoming
sweet and disagreeable TO the taste Is
that they have been stored at too low
temperature. Below 40 degrees the
starch in the potato is converted into
sugar. according to John Bushnell. Of

this occurs ii is only necessary TO store
them for few days at an ordinary
