Baldwin's statement indicates the
governments intention to smash the

keeping the general strike order eff
fective.
Baldwin made his announcement
after Arthur Henderson, home sec

pleaded in the House of Commons
for resumption Of negotiations.
Wont you think it over now?"
Henderson asked. 1.-The position of
the country in a few days may battle
the Imagination unless something is
done speedily. Even now there is
trouble. The Commons ought to
bend every effort to restore the ne
gotiatory situation to position
where it was at a. m. Monday
when negotiations were off in Down
ing Street, and see whether it can
not try to settle the question by
reason, not by force"
Appeal to King
one other hope remained. A
strong faction Of the clergy planned
to appeal to King George to inter

The Living Newspaper
in Soviet Russia and
in the United States
BY M. A. sKRoMNY
worker correspond0nt)

Necessity is the mother of inven-
tion," says wise proverb. During the
civil war in Russia, when newspapers
had to be printed on heavy wrapping
paper, necessity pointed to the "oral
newspaper" i. e. there were arranged
meetings at which the news of the
day, everything that is usually print
ed in a newspaper, was read of from
the stage.
This new form of labor journalism
proved a powerful weapon in the
hands of the working class. In such
country as Russia, at the beginning
of the revolution, where they had mil
lions of illiterates, the "oraI paper"
found warm reception. 1t became
not only an oral but also living
newspaper" bringing the author closer
to the reader, in this case to the
audience. 1t inspired the author to do
his very best, because he met the
reader face to face. The reader"
(listener) satisfied with general state
ments, would demand explanations,
would ask questions, would criticize,
etc.
The living newspaper is issued only
for the interest of the reader. That
is the reason why now, after the ne
cessity-the cause which brought
about the creation of the paper, has
passed, the living newspaper is still
alive and developing not only in So
Wet Russia, but also in the United
States and other countries.

Besides the Russian living news
paper issued in Chicago by the worker
correspondents of the Novy Mir, pre-
parations are under way for the pub
lication' of an English living news
paper. The DAILY WORKER already

New York Office
Workers Union Aids
Miners on Strike
cIv' WssS
BY a Worker Correspondent.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2S--At the last
meeting of the Bookkeepers', Steno-
graphers' & Accountants Union Bro.
Their Leonard Bright, president of the
union, read the official appeal to the
membership, sent out by the American
Federation of Labor, to help the strik-
ing miners and their families in their
desperate need.
When he had finished reading the.
appeal, Brother Bright made the state
ment that the funds in the treasury of
the union were low and therefore he
suggested those present send any old
clothes, they might have to the union
to be forwarded to the miners and
their families.
Fortunately, a brother in the meet
ing understood the real situation, and
he took the floor. He said, "Since the
need of the striking miners is urgent,
l move that collection be taken up
at once" Before the motion could be
seconded, everyone waved dollar bill
in his hand, and those who were broke
fished out quarters. The collection
amounted to over $1,000, tho the at
tendance was very small.
This is evidence of the truth that If
an issue is clearly presented, there is
a proper response. If there were suf-
ficient vitality in the union, starting
with the officials, there would be i'm.
portant and urgent work awaiting the
membership.
Office workers, you are needed in
the union to give it life by doing the
work that will reach all the workers
who are not yet aware of the necessity
for active organization. The meetings
Of the B. S. & A. NJ are held on the
third Monday of every month, 500
p. m, at No. West 18th Street.

Carpenters Union
Heads Get Setback
in Local 80 Meeting
tspsoiaI to The oaIIy workerl

At meeting of Local 80 of the
Carpenters in Chicago, letter from
the International office was read de-
claring that all members of the Work
ers (Communist) Party and the Trade
Union Educational League could not
hold membership in the union and that
all such members would either have
to leave the union or the organizations
mentioned.
After the communication was read a
member of the socialist labor party
took the floor and pointed out that
this persecution of the Communists
was not justified as every member of
the union had the right to believe
whatever he pleased. He declared that
tho he was not in sympathy with the
Communists, the Communists were q
militant force in the trade union move
ment and always fought in the strug-
giles Of the workers for better condi-
lions.
Following this member Of the social
ist labor party, member of the pro-
letarian party took the floor and point
ed out that this persecution must stop
as 1t was aimed against workers who
were carrying on a militant fight in
the unions.
Another worker followed these two
and pointed out that in the application
that Is signed by every applicant it
mentions that the applicant can be-
long to any political organization he
may see fit.
None of the reactionartes in the To-
cal who had heard the letter read
with great glee dared to take the floor
and defend the attitude taken in the
letter. The president of the union
than declared, "If there is no objec-
ton the letter will be filed and as
long as no one says he is a Commun-
list nothing will be done"

A few weeks previous to that an

Two Types of Workers
in the Millinery Trade
BY K. WoLoDARsKY
worker Correspondent

There are two types of workers in
the millinery trade in Chicago that OPP
pose unity.
Workers Type No. / They admire
the small contractors and the small
bosses who rose out of their class by
shaving long hours, living like pigs
and by exploiting other unfortunate
workers. They reason, I'll work hard,
night and day, and become boss too.
The only hope they have for the work
ers' cause is that others will benefit
by their tragic disappointment.
Workers Type No. 2: They are
class conscious but they refuse to fight
as class. Instead they prefer to
ferment discontentedly alone. To ex-
cuse their lack of courage to enter an
organized drive for better conditions
they argue: "WeTl lose time and
money" They lose sight Of the fact
that they are losing time by being un-
derpaid and overworked.
The base for that kind of reasoning
is cowardice, the fear to act. AS a
consequence the conditions in the mil
linery factories of Chicago are getting
worse every season. Every season
prices come down little more and
the millinery worker must drive her
self harder to make up her wages. Is
it not better to get together with the
rest of the workers and start an or
ganized demand for an end to these
injustices in our trade?

refused to shorten the hours so the

them, though a lot of scabs remained
in the shop. The strikers committee
appointed me to go to convince the
scabs not to work.
When l asked one of the scab girls
to stop working she refused. I tried
to shame her, but she held she was
not scabbing, only working. She even
did not know the meaning Of the word
scab and added she was going to
school and never heard Of such a word
