Charline had to have some things-a
crib and a carriage. She was getting
big enough for dolls and picture-booSs
A great girl with five teeth!
Sometimes it took close figuring and
some worried frowns to get everything
paid for but even so Emily found a
nicFel or dime now and then to slip
into the box with the hole punched In
the top which always stood on her cup
board shelf. One could wear frocS
for ever So long, but with daughter
growing up one simply must have
tasteful accessories. Charline, even i
she were not born with the proverbial
silver SPOON in her charming mouth,
was still going to have silver spoon
to eat her porridge with.
And SO somehow the bungalow got
paid for. and by the time Charline got
old enough to handle a fork and knife
there were those utensils In good dur
able silver.
A year or two later Charles had a
little money left to him from an un-
expected source. Then 1t was he opened
his own little shop. And because he
had been careful and painstaking and
had learned the business so well. he
was a successful ieweler almost from
the first.
One dav Emily found that she had
new neigEbors in the house across the
way-young n:arried people with thei"
two children, who had grown tired of
the citv. When she went to call she
found Helen Dixon. Helen Dixon mar
ried. happy. and oh. so glad to find
an acquaintance in a suburb where she
had expected to meet only with stran-

ever you wish, 1t was still very pleas
ant thing, and in no time at all the
two families were on terms of intimate
friendship
Yesterday Charline had birthday
party and Helen assisted Emily
What beautiful silver you have,

Emily laughed. "Yes, and it all start
ed from that silver spoon you gave me. "

$4,000 Actors J0bless
in New York, Weekly
Stage Paper Reveals

Fifteen thousand actors in New
York City alone are unemployed and
seeking vainly for jobs here, an ar
ticle in Variety, weekly stage per-
iodical, in last weeks issue, re-
vealed. OF these, 10000 are those
representing the legitimate stage,
and 5000 vaudeville performers.
This situation, said to be unprece-
dented in the history of the stage
in New York City, is taxing all the
resources of the actors organiza-
tions, according to Variety. The
Actors Fund is being besieged by
countless appeals for financial aid.
With overdue board bills, many
of the unemployed actors, most of
whom are mass-scene and ensem-
ble-scene workers corresponding to
clerks in Woolworth stores in their
salaries and positions, have been
forced by the unprecedented unem-
ployment situation to seek tempo
rary employment against the winter
cold by getting jobs in Broadway
and Fifth Avenue stores.

Calls on Members to
Send Greetings

Hailing the Fifth Anniversary OF
the Daily Worker, the New York
District of the International Labor
Defense last night issued a state
ment calling upon all its members
to pay a tribute to the paper that
fights for them and help keep it
alive by sending greetings for its
special anniversary edition. The
statement, signed by Rose Baron,
secretary, declares:
"The New York District of the
International Labor Defense halls
the Fifth Anniversary Of the Daily
Worker as a significant event in the
life of the American workers. The
Daily Worker is the only English
language paper that fights for the
workers and defends them against
the attacks of the capitalist courts.
AS such it has been a tower of
strength to the International Labor
Defense from the first day that the
l. L. D. was founded.
SIN every case that we have
handled, in every mass campaign
that we have conducted the Daily
Worker has served to bring our mes
sage to the workers and to rally
them behind the l. L. D. The Sacco-
Vanzetti case, the Greco-C arrillo
case, the movements to free Mooney
and Billings, the fight against the
efforts of the New Bedford mill
owners courts to railroad to Jail 662
militant strikers-all these and
many more outstanding struggles of
the American workers have found
the Daily Worker their constant
champion.
at is because of the part that the
Daily Worker is playing in our
struggles that the Fifth Anniversary
of this great proletarian paper
should be a personal celebration fo''
every member of the International
Labor Defense. The best tribute an
l. L. D. member can pay is to help
keep the Daily Worker alive and

Fear Continued Spread
of Influenza as Jersey
Reports PIG New Cases

TRENTON, N. j., Der. % dip
The state department of health to-
day announced that PIG cases of in
fluenza were reported from all Sec
tions of the state for the week end
ing December %, as compared with
20 for the corresponding week in
1927. Seventy-eight cases were re-
ported Monday, DC on Wednesday,
and 142 cases yesterday.
Due to lack of agreement among
physicians as to what is to be called
influenza, the report continues, the
disease is more widespread than ap-
pears from the record. 1t recon-
mends that doctors take the defini-
ton as given in the state sanitary
code.
While the prevalent form of the
disease is less severe than that of
the 1918 epidemic, according to the
report, it may increase in serious
ness as the disease becomes more
widespread.

the strike, the great struggle was
won, gaining substantial victories
for the workers.
The prestige that accrued to the
militant left wing leadership for the
victory, which was achieved through
the use Of new Ito the American la
Dor movement) tactics such as in
junction violation en- masse, ETC.,
was the signal for a new desire to
destroy such leadership by the bu-
reaucrats.
Then followed the new attack of
the union-wreckers. This time the
frank and public assistance of the
American Federation of Labor was
obtained to reinforce the already
formidable alliance of the socialists
and bosses. Police terror was
brought against the workers. Blood
flowed in the New York streets as
the workers resisted.
Workers Fight On.
But the workers persisted, fight
ing for their organization with the
most inspiring heroism and tenacity.
For two years this went on. Police
terror, terror by hired underworld
thugs, the company union, existing
through the aid Of the employers,
fought the workers with the most
inhuman ferocity.
During all this time the left wing
fought for unity among the work
ers.
Then came the Boston convention
of the International early in 1928.
The left wing, representing the New
York tens of thousands, andy
now-m&ny more thousands of adj
herents from other localities, came
to the convention with the demand
for united union controlled by the
rank and file.
The right wing refused to admit
not only the left wing to confer
ences on unity, but even refused en-
try permission excepting them out
with the aid of the Boston police
force) of groups of impartial ele-
ments organized in the industry.

Under heading, conclusion, the
report calls on the convention to dis

port on all the problems before it
and calls on them to begin building
the new union.
The report is signed by Louis n.y.

ganization Committee, and by Rose
Wortis, its secretary.

at the right wing meeting-all went
into independent session at the
brewster Hotel in Boston and
launched the National Organization
Committee for the formation of a
real cloak and dressmakers' union.
They were later joined by even some
right wing delegates, who, unable to
endure the cynical disregard of the
workers suffering, left the right
wing and affiliated with the N. O. C.
With the accumulated discredit
and hatred of two years of struggle
which had attached itself to Sig
man, the right wing chose Benjamin
Schlesinger, at that time less odor-
Gus, but more hypocritical, to take
the helm of the fight against the
workers. Thereafter, that pogrom
leader issued fake peace manifestos
periodically, but failed to damage
the stubborn fighting power of the
workers.
From the Boston convention, the
N. 0. c. went out to build a ma
tional organization and in a short
time, comparatively, succeeded in

Right thinking citizens should de-

those who seek special privilege and
who oppose any interference with
their plans.
Every senate probe has uncovered
wrong.
This was true in the oil probe, the
Daugherty frame-up against Senator
Wheeler, coal strike hearings and the
Pennsylvania Illinois senatorial cleo
tions.
Men who now denounce corruption
in high places were the same men
who sneer at the senate. They were
silent until the publicity aroused the
nation.
These evils would be unknown but
for fearless men in the senate who
refused to quit because of the whirl-
wind of abuse and misrepresentation

right when they have courage to

WAGES MEAN LIFE

Wages mean more than the price
of certain number of hours of work
They mean life and chance to enjoy
and advance the civilization of the
day.
If you think that it is alright to
pay woman SO a week, simply be-
cause you can get her to work for
So week, then you think that it is
alright for you to take from that
woman not only the hours of work
you have bargained for, but also her
health, her comfort, her chances for
pleasure and education, and provision
for her old age or sickness. You
will take all these things, because a
So a week wage can supply none of
them.
You will also be taking from the
community a healthy, happy, inter
ested citizen and leaving in her place
woman who will have neither time
nor energy to make a contribution
to any social progress, woman
whose standard of living must be toe
low for safety; in fact, woman who
is liability instead of an asset in
the community life. This is too large
contribution for any one person tc
take from another, yet those who pay
less than a living wage are taking
such a toll from every person they
employ, and from every community
in which these persons live.
