KIDNAP GAME IS
new FRAMEUP BY
ALLEN-A BOSSES
Scab Disappears; Is
Firms Trick
(By a Worker Correspondent

by a Worker Correspondent
KENOSHA, Wis. (By MaiD THE
attempt of the Allen-A mill bosses
to frame the striking hosiery work
ers here was scored on Thursday by
Alfred Hoffman, an organizer of the
Federation of Full Fashioned Hosi-
cry workers.
A strikebreaker, Harold Hendrick-
son, was kidnapped by masked men
on Wednesday and, after tar had
been poured over him, was released.
In line with the mill owners policy
of trying the frame the strikers in
order to break their strike of IN
precedented duration, as evidenced
in their hiring of men to bomb the
mills several times, the union lead
ers are certain that the latest show
of violence has been perpetrated by
the mill owners on the scab Hend-
rickson in a desperate attempt to
lessen the unions prestige among
the workers.
simultaneously, Hoffman has
made out an affidavit against Will
liam Trout, who only recently left
the mills for his home in Reading,
Pa, it is believed, accusing him Of
knowledge of the bosses bombings.
Hoffman quoted Trout as making
the following remarks:
II can tell you all about the bomb
ing of Brian Butchers cottage at
Lily lake last July. You don't know
all the stuff that's being framed up
on you"
Even greater courage and convic-
ton of the necessity to continue the
strike to a successful conclusion is
the result of the Allen-A bosses at
tempt to break the strike by trying
to frame up the strikers.

At IL, only 60 had been interviewed

Suddenly interviews were discon-

60 interviewed about three remained
for further questioning.

their hats to be further inspected

three or four were chosen who were
sent into a testing room to be tested
mentally and were then told to wait.

This thing cannot stand discourage

One woman told me her story
which is not very different from
that told by many others. She had
been deserted by her husband. He
had been hard working man. but
had lost his job and could not find
work, so that rather than be a bur-
den or see their sufferings, he had
deserted her and the three children.
Perhaps he was a coward, but is
there no end to courageous empty
suffering? Now she must support
her family. She was looking for
part time Job so that she could be
home when the children left for
school. In the evenings she sews
for others and in this way she and
her family subsist. He had been
married before the war when her
husband had been employed as an
auto-mechanic, but the war had
weakened him and he could not dc

entire page to interviews with Of

possibilities for profitable invest

Germans, Austrians, Swedes, Amer

case the concessionaires warmly APP
prove of the policy adopted by the

WORKERS ARE
Treated WORST
IN HOSPIT AIS
Favor Pay Patients;
Different in USSR
by a Worker Correspondent

~ u ~ VfhOF JULIO POftSIChb/
In our paper, The Daily Worker,
not long ago, there was a good ac-
count of trained nurses in hospitals.
They work 12-hour day, but are
not yet class-conscious enough to
demand the 8-hour day.
l have just been i'll in hospital
for three weeks and I have realized
not only the work of the nurses, but
also the class distinctions between
private patients and patients in the
wards. Private patients can afford
to pay three or four times as much
as ward patients, and they get more
than three or four times as much
care and attention.
No Questions Answered.
The ward patient is usually ad-
mitted only after a long wait in
the clinic room where he sits on a
hard bench, watches the slow-mov-
ing hands of the big clock and WON
ders if he can get back his job when
he is well again. How much will he
be in debt when he comes out of the
hospital? Where can his wife get
the money for rent and food? How
long will it be before he can work
again? The young doctor is in
hurry and cannot stop for explana-
tions. The nurses are in a hurry
and move the patients along as if
they were cattle going to the
slaughter house. The patient is ad-
mitted to the hospital ward. He is
dressed in a hospital gown and put
to bed. His own clothes are checked,
taken away and locked up.
Visitors are allowed only at GER
tain hours, on certain days, twice
week. Nurses mean to be kind, but
they are always too busy for any
little extra service. The patient in
the big ward knows everything that
happens, how other patients are
wheeled away for operations and
brought back again, smelling of
ether, nauseated and grooming in
the hours that follow, how a patient
dies with the screens around his bed
and how that patients relatives are
admitted to see him when it is not
visiting time. Minutes seem like
hours and hours like days. At last
he is discharged, weak and still in
need of care. He must get a Job
as quick as possible, though he is
not yet strong enough to work.
But the private patient has every
consideration. His physician takes
time to talk with him and to make
arrangements for him to have a
room and private nurse. He is
admitted at once and shown to his
'room as if he were at a hotel or a
club. His clothes are put away in
his closet and in his bureau drawers.
The nurse and the orderly do every
thing possible to make him more
comfortable. His friends NAV come
to see him at any time of the dav
or evening, until 8 p. m. They bring
and send his flowers which stand on
the bureau and are reflected back
IN the mirror. And he knows moth
ing of the other suffering in the
same hospital. He thinks his own
is enough. When he is we'll enough
to leave the hospital, his physician,
family and friends all urge him to
take time for convalescence. And he
does.
Different in U. S. S. R.
In Soviet Russia TODAY medical
care is socialized. That means that

e Steel Companies and lgoHb Were out Get Woodam Class War
"Bilhe" Permits Polly Walker
to Knock the Audience Cold

THE personality of Miss Polly
Walker alone would justify Mr..
Cohan in risking the investment nee
essary to put his new musical COM
edy, Billie on the boards of the
Erlanger Theatre. Despite what
conniseurs of sartorial perfection
say by way of criticism of the guam
tity of rouge used to attract atten-
ton to her lips, the fact remains
that Miss Walker is singled
out for attention from the small
army of pulchritudinous females
gathered together by the star
strangled dramatic impressario, for
the delectation of the petty bour-
geoisie.
Critics rarely wrinkle their eye
brows or bite their ears while re-
viewing a George M. Cohan play.
They confine their remarks to snap
py observations on the acceptability
to the male, of the female side Of
the cast or in praise of the musical
jingles that find their way into the
home via radio and graphaphone.
And much tho this critic would
like to draw some kind of political
lesson from billie" he must con-
fess that he spent most of his time
chuckling, when he was not con-
trasting the splendor on the stage
with the conditions under which the
workers who produce the splendor
live in our great rich American
cities.
On the whole the acting in
billie" is excellent. Snappy songs,
agreeable musical sounds, plenty of
wisecracks and jokes, even tho many
of the latter are hoary with age.
One actor who pleased me very
much was Val Stanton who bur-
lesqued Sir Alfred Huntington, much
to the disgust of fellow-worker St.
John IRVINE of the New York
World, who still seems to be under
the impression that he is on the
Strand in London, and not on Broad
way, New York. Making people
laugh at the expense of a British
lord may be cheap stuff since it is
dead easy, but this unregenerate foe
of British imperialism likes the stuff
no matter what Pulitzer's sanctified
importation thinks.
AS a laugh producer "Billie" is
certainly an addition to the gayety
of Broadway. T. j. OF.

every worker receives free medical
attention from physician who is

Physicians are public servants, and
are assigned to duty in this or that
factory, this or that district. 1t is
expected that they will do their ut
most, not for private patients who
could pay them extra fees, but for
the workers whose health is SO
vitality important.
Best of all, a worker in Soviet
Russia, when he is i'll, receives from
the fund for social insurance an
amount equal to his ordinary wage.
He is not haunted by the fear known
to every worker in capitalist coun-
try, that he will be ill, lose his job,
get into debt, grow old or die with
out providing for his family. Moth
ing is taken from the workers own
earnings to make up the insurance
fund. Industries, businesses, insti-
tutions, subscribe to the fund, which
provides the sickness, old age OF
death benefits for all workers.

GUARD AGAINST FIRE.

The number of costly fires that have occurred in Juneau during the last few weeks suggests that there should be greater care in methods oi guarding against this constant menace. We say this without any desire to criticise any one Tor past disasters So far know no one has been at fault in connection with any Of Juneaus recent fires However there should be some way to make accidents of this nature less likely to occur At least it should be the part of every householder, whether owner or tenant. of every janitor and everyone who has charge of or the management in any degree of building, to be constantly on guard to detect any defects in building, or equipment or practices or customs that might lead to accidental fire
 One cannot discuss fires in Juneau fairly, however, without paying tribute to the excellent Juneau Fire Department. Its efficiency and earn estness in well doing has saved this city over and over again It is the source of an assurance of safety that is wonderful, and calls for the most grateful appreciation However the people of the City should not rest idly in the security of the fact of efficient, energetic and loyal Fire Department if there is any precaution that might be taken that is being overlooked
