Work Hard and Save;
Here's What You Get
BY N. PERLIN.
(Worker corresponcont)

Mr.. Smith,-and he is really one of
thousands Of workers in the same
situation,--is AS years old. For 80
years he has worked at the trade of
making cigars, starting as mere
boy. as
Last year he became very H.. For
eight months he lay in a hospital.
Then he was taken care Of at home
for many more months. A workers
resources, however, are very limited.
He had to look for work again as soon
as he was able to get around
A paralyzed arm, the result Of his
sickness, made it impossible to get
anything but Job in a poolroom,
taking care OF the tables and making
himself generally useful. For this he
was to receive $40 week.
On the third day he was told to
wash the windows. He could not com
plete the task because of his paralyzed
arm. The boss told him he could no
longer use him. He must have a man
for all-round work. So Smith was
again jobless, a man forty-eight years
old, with a paralyzed arm, and UNI
able to work at the trade on which
he had spent thirty-three years Of his
life.

CARNATIONS, the employers and bust
ness men were invited to present their
standpoint of management and en-
ployment policies. The one to pre-
sent this standpoint was James Ed
gerton, president of the National As
ISOLATION of Manufacturers.
He presented his standpoint in a
sneering speech warning the delega-
ton against all, protection laws for
women and children. His sneering
was very well taken by the majority
Of these good. benevolent women who
came together to bring freedom to
the working women. The hind of free
dom was not specified. Freedom to
starve, freedom to work loug hours,
or freedom to be exploited without
any interference
But what freedom was really meant
at that conference where the National
Women's Party was the leading fig
ure? Who is the National Women's
Party? If We get closer acquainted
with it we will either select one of the
three types of freedom mentioned
above or take all of them together.
The National Women's Party is in
strumental in the hands of the Manu-
facturers' interests. Under a camou-
hage of equal rights for men and
women the National Womens Party
presented a plea to President Coolidge
to defeat all protective laws for
women in industry. In A states the
hours Of work were restricted thru
legislative measures to 10, and 5
hours per day. In some of these states
minimum wage was enacted But
our benevolent women oppose even
such meagre legislation. They want
the woman to be free to work at night,
and as many hours a day as the boss
would keep her in the shop, for as
low a wage as the boss would please.
Freedom, yes. Freedom for the manu-
facturer to keep up the source of
cheap labor supply, which the women
unfortunately constitute.
1t is certain that no legislation UNI
der the present form of government
will considerably improve the stand
ard of living for women workers. But
The reason for opposing the action of
the National Women's Party which
aims to defeat all protective legisla-

Youngstown Lawmakers
Pass Blasphemy Law
at Behest of Bosses
BIZ ! Worker correspondent


YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, March z. -
The case of Anthony Bimba is likely
to be repeated in Youngstown in the
near future, for the ku klux khan Of
ficials have surreptitiously put on the
ordinance books of the city a law
which can be used by the capitalists
and their defenders against the work
ers at any time they see fit to use it.
Section 5, chapter IL Of the revised
ordinance says: mo person shall act,
exhibit, show or perform or be in any
manner concerned in the acting, ex-
hibiting or performance of any indeS
cent or blasphemous play, operetta,
public exhibition, show or entertain
ment"
Not only will the ku klux khan off,
cials use this law at any time to per-
secute workers, but so will. the cham
Der Of commerce, the rotarians, kiwa-
mis- clubs and the open shoppers. They
will use this law as one of their
weapons against the workers.
One of Youngstown's papers the
other day stated that Bimba would be
subject to prosecution under this or
dinance. If the light of publicity is
thrown on the actions of city law
makers, like ordinances will be found
to have been passed at the suggestion
of the chamber of commerce, which is
behind the campaign for the suppress
sion and persecution of the workers.

Worker Tells How His
Nucleus Aids Daily
BIZ a WORKER corrssp0ndsnt.


NEW YORK, March I'll want to
tell about how my shop nucleus is
boosting The DAILY WORKER. AT
our first meeting we decided that
every member must be a subscriber,
and must try to get at least one
worker in his shop to read The
DAILY WORKER. We gave the
nearest news dealer in the district an
order for seven papers daily. These
we distributed among the workers in
one shop every day.
We did this for two weeks in sue
cession. The result was that three
workers in that shop subscribed for
the paper. The others are deeply in.
terested and read it every day. The
whole shop is now ready to support
us in the fight against the boss and
are beginning to understand the Com
munist movement.

ton is because it plays into the hand
of the manufacturer. The woman
worker has nothing in common with
the n. w. P. as far as her social and
economic life is concerned.
The woman worker belongs to the
working class as separate and dis
tinct from the class of exploiters. Tho
the legislative canhot bring the sal
walton to the worker, the Trade
Unions can use it as means of prop
uganda. Let the worker in general
and the woman in particular see that
the best conditions are obtained thru
the militant trade unions and not
thru legislation.
The Minimum Wage Decree for the
millinery trade in Massachusetts,. in
effect July 1, 1925, will testify once
more that in the legislation the
woman does not find her protector
The decree is as follows:
$1S per week for girls and women
who were in the trade two
years.
Sc per week for learners.
The millinery trade with its ex
treme fluctuations is very we'll known
to every millinery worker. Can you
live on Sc or $13 week? Remember
that S13 you get if you have two
years experience. This is one very
obvious phenomenon in this capital
list system of society.
1t remains for the unions to awaken
towards the problem of organizing
women.

Army of the Press.

We should not look upon the worker
and village correspondents as merely
workers of the press. It is an army
Of over 100000. It is not an army Of
just newspaper workers, it is an army
Of public proletarian and village
workers, with the initiative of public
workers, in which every one in his
own way, in his own surroundings, is
trying to participate in the building
of Communism.
Thus this army of worker and viii
lage correspondents is an army of our
builders, coming from below and
which is participating in all our many
fold work of the party and the Soviet
power.

Norris Tells Another
Story

T~1EORGE W. NORRIS in the United States
VI Senate Saturday told another story-or,
at least another chapter of the story he had told
a week earlier. II related the process by which
William S. Culbertson became our minister to
Roumania. 1t was not entirely new. to the other
members Of the Senate, but was interesting be-
cause Norris had the documentary evidence to
support an opinion that was current in Wash
ington about the time Culbertson was packing
his trunk for Bucharest.
President Coolidge sent Culbertson to Rou-
mania in order to protect the big sugar con-
Germs. Culbertson was on the United States
tariff commission and was helping prepare a
report that would show how an unduly high
tariff enabled the sugar combine to rob the
American people of millions Of dollars Most
every member of the Senate understood this
Norris story simply made plain the I'M
usual methods used by the President. Here is
one incidents
Culbertson was called to the White House
and told by the Presidents private secretary
that charge had been filed against him. The
charge was that he was violating the law which
prohibits tariff commissioner from accepting
outside employment. The outside employment
was the delivery of lecture before a univer-
sity! Better see the Department of Justice,
said Secretary Slemp.
Culbertson saw the assistant to the Attor-
ney General He was told the department con,
strued the statute literally, and that it was not
thought the charges amounted to anything But
Attorney General Stone Immediately thereafter
filed an adverse report against Culbertson in
the matter. Two Of Culbertson's colleagues
asked time in which to file written statement
along with this report, but the Attorney Cen
eral said he couldn't wait for that, that the
White House wanted his report on Culbertson
at once.
President Coolidge sent for Culbertson -
said Norris "and talked with him about the
charges. AS Culbertson was about to leave
and with the adverse report lying on the desk
the President again asked Culbertson if he
could not delay the sugar report!'
A devious intrigue to save the sugar prof
its, isn't itG And not very pretty picture of
our President.
