He was blamed for everything at the of- flee and he took the vituperation they heaped on him along with his weekly $30.
 His worst nightmare, old man Green, was forever writing about errors in his account. As often as he visited the office Willie was fired to appease Greens anger.
 Willie had fallen for an fnsur- ance policy which took all hts spare money. He skimped lunches. eating leather coated doughnuts. The resultant heartburn sent VII lie to a quack doctor, who said he had heart trouble and only two months to live.

 s.In that new nation," he said. "NOnhen will play an important role. even if they will not have all the juridical rights of women in' western lands.
 "Withess the fact that we have at Peking a woman secretary to one of our ministers. and witness a1bo that Miss Soume Tcheng. all e1ninent woman lawyer, is not only president of the civil court at Shanghai. but. also attorney genetals for the handling of crim- inal cnses."

RECORD NAMES OF

ARNOLD, Pa. (By MaiD. - This
is the third and last day Of registra-
ton for the primary elections in
Westmoreland county which includes
New Kensington, Arnold, Parnassus
and some other towns.
Hush Primary Notices.
No mention was made to the public
Of the primaries except short item
in the local press on the first day of
registration.
When we went down to register for
labor, and we found that everyone
who voted republican or democratic
last year and now wants to register
labor or any other party, outside of
the republican or democratic, must
fill in a special slip, besides writing
his name in the registration book The
slip contains your name and address
and furthermore you have to have a
witness to sign it. No address or wit
ness is needed if you register repub-
lican or democratic.
This troubles the workers who
want to register labor and they are
suspicious of the sip and think there
is some dirty trick in it. They be-
lieve this is some spying scheme to
keep track of the workers who vote
for Labor Party, and to prevent
them from doing SO by means of op-
preston.
Fascist Terrorism.
The much-talked about democracy
and political freedom turns out to be
fascist terrorism, covered with
promises today and tomorrow with
bayonets against the workers who de-

Garage Apprentice
Tells of Gas Fumes, Cold

by a Worker Correspondent
/ am an apprentice in an automobile
shop on Ave. A. There are five
mechanics, counting the foreman,
working in our shop. They are mostly
German workers. Most of them know
what's what but they make just
enough wages to keep them going, so
they figure, "Why should 1 kick ?"
Later maybe they'll feel different.
Little Time to Learn.
My work begins like the others at
8 a. m. clean parts like tenders and
mudguards with the wire-brush and
gasoline. Also l shoot grease into the
dozens of cars with the alenite gun.
And there are lot of heavy trucks,
ETC., that have to be pushed. 1t sounds
simple but the little time that's left
over l can learn the trade in, if one
of the mechanics is in a good humor
and wants to show me something.
All day we have to work by ar
tificial light. Our shop is on the sec
ond floor and all the windows are in
front where the office is. In winter
weather, like we've been having, it's
bitter cold up there and, of course,
we can't have any fire because of
the gasoline and other explosives. We
simply grit our teeth and work in
the cold. And cold metal is some cold
Besides the cold and the artificial
light which ruins your eyes, particu-
larly when a fellows working under
the car and has to use the drop-light
to see with, there are the gasoline
fumes we take in all day. Sometimes
you get dizzy when you go out in
the open air.

boss promises me raise soon. But

l know how soon soon is. All these
garage guys are slick and pile up the
jack. What they don't make in boot
Logging they make by pairing down
their employees wages and adding it
onto their victims repair bills.
Here's a sample for you of how it's
done. know because it's part of
my job. When you put the two parts
of an engine-head together you stick
layer of cork or some tough pre-
paration in between, called gasket.
That is it's supposed to be cork and
costs the same as if it was, about a
quarter.
But my job is to take some card
board, any old sign, like Don't Spit
on the Floor" and trace the outline
of the engine joining on it with a
pencil. Then you put, the head in a
wise and chop around the marked line
with the round end of a mechanic
hammer till you have an imitation
gasket. Only it's no good and costs
the boss nothing at all but he charged
it onto the repair bill at twenty-five
cents.
There isn't much chance to talk in
our shop because there are SO few in
it and we all know each other but ]
talk to the other apprentice who has
been here longer than I have. I've
shown him The DAILY WORKER
every once in a while and he says
it's o. K. l told him what we need
is union. When I know the trade
good and don't have to be so careful
you're going to see something dong
here. Sometimes it's just as hard
for guy to have to play safe when
he's rarin' to go as it is for him to
go when he knows he's going to run
risks. Keep up the fight.

Sailor Describes Bad
Food and Sickness

have just completed a trip On this
shin to Manchester from Baltimore
l will get paid off in Baltimore Mon
day for which I am more than thank
full.
One Mess-boy, % in Mess.
1t seems that the Oriole Line is in
the habit of making as bad conditions
for it's slaves as possible. Well, they
have done remarkably we'll on this
ship. The firemen and sailors eat
each in their own mess back aft
where their quarters are. There is
one mess-boy for both these rooms
altho % men eat in them. All the
food CD has to be carried down a
ladder from amidships.
We have had five mess-boys this
trip SO far. , One of them was fired
in New York on the outward bound
trip. One was discharged in England
with a badly burned hand which he
received while carrying a bucket of
boiling tea down the ladder. Another
became sick from the ships motion
and the bad food. The fourth fell
down the ladder and hurt his arm and
leg.
The fifth boy was a fair mess-boy
so they put him in the P. o. (petty-
officers) mess when there was lit
tie trouble amidships, and put the
third mate back aft.
Food Gave Out.
The bad food and rotten conditions
have caused % cases of sickness out
of crew of 43, which is a fair rec
ord. But altho the food is no good
and of the cheapest kind. the port
steward was not able to put enough
aboard to last the trip and the stew
ard did not buy enough in England,
with the result that we ran out of
sugar, syrup, cheese, bologna and
cabbage, in fact out of all vegetables
except frozen potatoes and beans.
Well, the slaves on this wagon were
yelling their heads off in the mess
but only few would register a kick
anywhere else.

S-4DISASTER;
RAPS PACIFISTS
Get Taste of Coming.
War
WHAT S-4 MEANS.
Litor. DAILY WORKER:

The pacifists have been raising
big howl about the S-4 disaster. say
ing that it is an example of the in
efficiency of the navy. The S-4 dis
aster is not an example of ineffici-
ency, but of war time efficiency. The
navy is builtf or war, and for war
efficiency, not for peace time safety,
and if the S-4 disaster is an example
of anything, it is an example of what
will be the lot of those who fight in
the next world slaughter--for the
profits of Wall Street or any other
country, If you want to fight against
more, 81 disasters don't yell with the
pacifists for a more efficient navy,
but instead of boosting the war pre-
parations-fight the danger of war
and see that you and your buddies
are not on the ocean floor in the next
slaughter-fest of the bosses.

food is cooked, or rather stewed-by
steam, in big kettles, coffee is served
without milk or sugar, and the pota-
toes are fixed sometimes as often as
five or six meals. A short time ago
when we first came here there were
quite number in the hospital sick
from the food.
Since then the officers have been
running around wildly, and instead of
supervising the kind of food being
served, they are telling the men how
to enter the hall, how to sit, how to
eat, etc. The main dish is stew which
the men call "slum" and has no taste,
while whatever is left over is used
to make hash after the juice has been
drained off. This hash is put on the
table until used up, sometimes last
ing for several meals.
Beans Break Monotony.
Every now and then the men are
give beans to break the monotony
of the "slum." AS rule a month
of eating in this mess hall gives the
new recruit severe heartburns which
last for several days. Everything
