The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1925-07-25

To the DAILY WORKER:-I have
been a constant reader and supporter
of the DAILY WORKER and believe
that your paper is doing great good
towards organizing the workers, and
the trade union movement.
You often make comment on the
various strike situations thruout the
country and their progress from time
to time. But l wish to call your at
tention to a strike that has been in
progress for the past two years, OF
which l do not recall reading any
thing about or. concerning it in your
paper since an injunction has been
granted the company against the
workers in the month of December
1923.
The strike / have in mind is one
against the R. Hoe Co., Inc. Printing
press manufacturers of New York
City involving 1900 machinists and
apprentices of the |. A. of NJ These
men have been battling and have
stood the test for the past two years
against capitalistic oppression. They
are still fighting this battle in spite OF
the fact that President Johnson and
his dirty associates in Washington
have sold them out.
They are putting up the struggle
of their lives which means the life
or death of this particular industry in
the trade union movement.
Do you not think that these men
are deserving Of some thot or consi-
deration in your paper? No doubt,
that it might help to renew their vi
gor from time to time until a victory
has been achieved.
Yours for the downfall of capital

Crimea. Caucasus and other parts OF
the country, which the workers had
never dared hope to see formerly. are
now peopled by workers and peasants

worker is in receipt OF full wages

"A system OF sanatoria and health
institutes has been organized, and is

various diseases, such as tuberculosis,

A number of cases were noted where
workers are being treated for general
debility due to industrial fatigue. The
period Usually spent at those institu-

further period can be spent there.

numerous factories in many parts Of

conversations we intend to reproduce

In saying that the Soviet government
not only has the enthusiastic support
of the vast majority of the workers
and peasants, but that both these
classes OF workers look upon the pre-
sent government as essentially their
own.

Actors Equity on
Job Against Fake
Foreign Promoters

NEW YORK-FP)- Chorus girls
who seek their fortunes in Europe and
in Central and South American coun-
tries have brought Actors Equity AS
sociation into international action,
Dorothy Bryant, executive secretary
of the actors union, relates in Equi-
tvs magazine.
Crooks tours is what she calls some
of the lodges by which American
chorus girls are lured to cabarets and
theatrical positions in other countries
where standards differ from union
yuided American theatrical circles.
Girls are fooled by foreign promoters
who pretend that they will give the
world to the girls and turn tail at
Equity's suggestion that their stand
ng be couched for by an American
onsul in their native land
Many chorus girls are saved fruit

ties of the Second (Socialist) Inter-

the working class Of all those conces-

At the same time the upper sections
of the bourgeoisie are becoming ever
