have replied to the local office here
that Louis Hyman, chairman of the
N. 0. c., will come here to speak to
the workers. Efforts have also been
made to get Ben Gold, leader of the
fur workers, to come here to speak.
H. Koretz, of New York will also
speak.
Preliminary meetings of morgan
lied workers held in the office of
the new union, at AZ North 9th St.,
show a remarkable sentiment for
organization among the non-union
workers. The freshness and honesty
of the new union movement made a
powerful appeal and lent new hope
to this city's unorganized workers
when they contrasted the enthu-
siasm of the new union with the
corruption and cynical disregard of
the unorganized which the Sigman
officials have always shown.

The Young Workers (Communist)
League welcomed the U. S. Battle
Fleet to San Francisco some time
ago with a distribution of letters to
the sailors. The letters pointed out
the Y. W. C. L. program concern
ing all service men and appealed to
them as workers in uniform. De-
mands for the elections of non-com-
missioned officers, the right to vote,
to organize and to hold office were
made.
The day after the distribution of
these letters the fleet sailed to San
Pedro, California, which is a few
miles from Los Angeles. Members
of the League in Los Angeles and
San Pedro met the sailors there and
distributed more of the same letter
to them.
Sailors Approve.
At this time the sailors remarked
to the Y. w. C. L. members who
were distributing the letters to
them: "No, thanks bud, l got one
of them in Frisco" and at the same
time pulling the letter out of his
pocket and displaying it with a grin.
Others became friendly to a point of
discussion on the merits and de-
merits of our letter, but all were in
accord with our demands for their
rights.
Another told US a story that
shows the officers of the service in
true light. It seems that the of
ficers realized that they could not
counterfeit our demands or even de-
nounce them, for, according to the
story of this sailor, the sailors
aboard his ship were called together
and given a lecture by their COM
mander. The commander began his
tale by stating that he had wired
back east and found that the address
of the League headquarters in New
York City was fake, and that no
such number as 43 East 125th Street
existed. He told them that the let
ters we distributed were all faxed
and that it would be of no use for
them to write to the address on the
letter. Nothing at ALI was said
about the contents of the letter ex-
cept about the address given. He
closed his threat to the sailors by
saying that court-martial action
would be taken against anyone
found possessing one of these let
tiers.
Show Rotten Conditions.
But we, the League, and the sail
ors themselves, understand why the
commander failed to mention the
contents of the letters. He cannot
denounce it because it is so clearly
an appeal for justice that even the
most illiterate sailor would see thru
the denunciations, and realize more
the rotten conditions and the en-
slavement and uses of the capitalist
tools-the armed forces. That is

home. This wife suddenly appears
at party at which he is enjoying
and the usual complications
result. The newspaper magnate who
to give him a job as New
York correspondent decides that a
man who is unfaithful to his wife
is not the kind of fellow to have
on a paper that caters to the home
trade. This magnate is no paragon
of virtue but he is the boss. How
ever things turn out nicely in the
end, the young man from Massilon
returns to edit the town paper, leav-
ing the blonde to accompany the
boss to dinner and write snappy
stories of New York life for the
Ohio customers.

by Request" Comes IN Like a
Lion, Goes ont Like a Lamb

IT is the fashion nowadays in the
best dramatic circles to treat the
formerly sacred institution of mar
riage with degree of levity that
does not square with the speeches
of capitalist politicians whose main
plank is that the home is the foun-
dation of society. In the first act of
almost every play l have seen this
season, much hilarity is produced by
revealing the little animadversions
of husbands and wives in violation
of their marriage vows. In the last
however, virtue usually has its in
nings.

WAGE SLASHES
FREQUENT FOR
SHOE WORKERS
Need for Organization
Is Great

Much has been written and said
about the slave conditions under
which the shoe workers are exploit
ed. Although the subject is far
from being exhausted we will how
ever not dwell upon it at the pres
ent time. The facts about the hor-
rible conditions are after all too
we'll known and the shoe workers
surely do not have to be told about
them.
Within the last few years reduc-
ton on top of reduction has been
made. This has reached a stage
where it is about impossible to earn
living. Yellow-dog agreements
have been introduced. In many
shops the bosses are demanding Sc
curity from the workers who in
some GAGS have to pay several
hundreds of dollars for permission
to work. Many other evils exist
which take too much space to men
ton. The shoe workers have been
degraded and Inundated.
Vicious Circle.
In order to make up at least part
of the losses caused by the many
cuts in wages, shoe workers are
compelled to work long hours which
only leads to further reductions.
Do you realize that these long hours
not only undermine you physically
and mentally, but also create
large army of unemployed who are
competing for jobs and which
bosses use as a whip against all
shoe workers?
No one should believe that the
workers have lost their militancy
and will forever put up with the in
suits and abuses of the bosses.
Shoe Workers! We know that
you are not, you cannot be satisfied
with these miserable conditions. We
know that you are complaining
about your conditions; we know
that you are wishing that something
be done. We also know that by
something" you know and realize
that the only thing to do, the only
way to combat the greedy appetites
of the bosses, is to organize, to
build strong union, but instead of
wishing, you must do something to
bring this about.
1t Depends on You.
You must realize that if we must
have union in order to better our
conditions, then it is the shoe work
els themselves who will have to
build it. And you sister or brother
shoe worker who may read this let
ter must ask yourself first before
asking it of others, What am l
doing towards the organizing Of
shoe workers ?" You must ask your
self, sam I doing my share toward
the building of a union?"
If every shoe worker will do this,
il every shoe worket will realize mis-
duty, it will not take long before
we will have a powerful union
through which we will be able to do
away with these miserable. condi-
tions.
From recent reports you already
know that through the efforts of
progressive active and militant shoe
workers, union under the name
Independent Shoe Workers Union
has been organized. This union
earnestly set itself the task of or
ganizing the shoe workers to i'm
prove conditions but the success of

GREAT RESPONSE
TO DRIVE FROM
SLAVES OF BELT
Organization of Men
Is Task
by a Worker Correspondent

By a Worker Correspondent
DETROIT, Mich, (By MaiD -
Four thousand and eight hundred
copies of the Ford Worker with
statement on the election campaign
of the Workers Party were distribu-
ted at the Fordson plant. This is
the first time that it was possible
for the Party members to reach so
many thousands of workers in this
huge auto industry of Henry Ford.
The Fordson plant is built in
such way that it is almost impos-
sible to reach these many thousands
of workers from the outside. The
workers come out of the factory and
go right into the street cars, buses
and machines without getting off
the property of Henry Ford.
Many efforts, but without any
success were made on the part of
the Party. In this election campaign
the comrades began to discuss the
distribution of the Ford Worker at
his huge plant and after thoro con-
sideration a crowd of comrades were
organized and the distribution was
made with very big success. 1t
is true that we could not go right
up to the plant, but the workers
were covered with the Ford Worker
inside and outside of the street cars
and buses, away from the factory.
This attempt on the part of the
Party to reach these workers in the
Fordson plant, is very important
and it created great interest.
In this election campaign many
new ideas and many new methods
are being put forth in order to
broaden out the campaign and open
up the field of activity for our big
ask which is the organization of
these thousands and hundreds of
thousands of workers in the auto in
iustry.
Henry Ford alone employs at the
present time 10000 workers. We
are being informed that the pro-
1uction from now on will go up
and that 10000 machines a day
will be the aim in the very near
future. This of course will mean
Dig struggle among the auto manu-
lecturers, who build small cars.
This will further mean wage cuts,
peed-up in the auto plants of
Henry Ford and General Motors.
All in all it certainly will mean a
more favorable condition for or
yanizational work.
The Workers (Communist) Party
n the city of Detroit is calling upon
ihese workers of Henry Ford and
General Motors, that the only way
% fight these bad conditions, such !
rs speed up, wage cuts and the gen.
aral worsening of working condi-
ions, can only be done by organic
ng on the part of the workers. In |
he election campaign, we call upon
he workers to register their pro-
est against these open shoppers,
against these bloody aristocrats, by
voting for the platform of the class
'truggle, by supporting and joining
he Workers (Communist) Party. |
rhe election campaign will intensity
our campaign to organize these I'M
organized workers and to get them
nto militant trade unions, such as
he miners, textile workers and |
needle trades workers are building
1t the present time.

Representative r. Walton Moore OF
Virginia in an address before the So

the memory of historical events and
relics of the Revolutionary period been
kept alive and brought forward as 1t
has in the present decade:
More than 20 biographies OF George
Washington have appeared In TINS
decade, and dozen of Thomas Jefter-
SON" Mr.. Moore said. This and other
cl9nUc "Qf0W-
ing and deepened" interest in the past.
And in the latter and its traditions lie
the hopes for the future, he indicated.
Recalling the publication of numer-
Gus historical documents and steps
taken by the United States Government
to observe historical events and 90
honor to Revolutionary patriots, Mr..
Moore declared that the Government
has done more in this decade to keep
alive the memories of the past than
ever before. More love for the old
homes of the patriots Is being shown
than before, Mr.. Moore said, mention
ing Monticello, the home OF Thomas
jefferson, and various places OF his
torical interest in Virginia for which
steps have been taken tn preserve as

Deploring that far too little atten-
ton is still paid to some Revolutionary
patriots, Mr. Moore cited an event OF
history-the ride of Capt. Jack Jouett
of the Albemarle Guards, over SO miles
of winding trails to notify Thomas JEFF
ferson and other leaders Of the time
of the approach of the British, and de-
clared:

Best Remedy for
Obstinate Cough
Made at Home

You'll never know how quick m
ly stubborn cough or chest cold w
can be conquered, until you try N
this famous recipe. 1t is used in n
millions of homes, because it gives \
more prompt. positive relief than
anything else. It's no trouble at
all to mix and costs but trife.
Into pint bottle, pour 21z ounces
of Pinex then add plain granulated
sugar syrup or strained honey to
make a full pint. This saves two
thirds of the money usually spent
for cough medicines, and gives you
a purer, better remedy. 1t never
spoils, and tastes good-children
like it.
You can actually feel its pene-
trating, soothing action on the in
famed throat membranes. 1t also
promptly loosens the germ-laden
phlegm, and at the same time, it is
absorbed into the blood, where it
acts directly on the bronchial tubes.
This three-fold action explains why
it brings such quick relief even in
bronchial coughs and stu" coughs. |
Pinex is highly concentrated
compound of genuine Norway Pine,
containing the active agent Of creo-
sote, in a refined, palatable form, III
and known as one of the great Nj
