CAP WORKERS TO
FIGHT zARITSKY
TO BITTER End
Misleader Cannot Halt
Militants
(By a Worker Correspondent

When Zaritsky's general execu-
tive board decided to smash up Lo-
cal 43 of the Millinery Hand Work
ers Union, some manufacturers be-
gan to think. They decided that
this was an opportunity for them
to profit. They began to change
week work shops to piece work, to
cut down the wages in the piece
work shops and so on.
Many of the firms soon found
that they were in hot water; that
girls, too, could put up fight, and
they soon settled with Local AZ. Che
of these firms being particularly
stubborn, it has strike still on it's
hands. The other day one of our
girls who was not very long ago,
in Zaritsky's own term, a "lipstick
kid" tainted on the picket line and
is now very i'll, being anemic. She
may have been a flapper, but that
was before the Zaritsky clique tried
to break our union.
The injustice that was committed
against our young and flourishing
union was enough to make even
flappers use their brains. All the
time that this mere child was on
the picket line she never accepted
a cent from our union, and no one
realized she was starving.
Thus does Local "a think that by
starving out our girls they will be
ready to give up their union? No,
never. Now, more than ever, are
the girls determined to carry on the
fight for a strong and militant
union. SALLY.

PROSPERITY? 8
BOYS, STARVING,
ARE Near DEATH
p en- niless Stepfather
Cannot Aid
(Bp a Worker Correspondent

I
LOS ANGELES, (By MaiD -
"Prosperity" is here. Three boys,
brothers, 8, IL and 10 years of age,
were rescued from starvation today
by L. G. Smith of the county for
estry department. Their provisions
ran out two weeks ago. They had
to stop eating, except for hooveriz-
ing on a small portion of flour they
had left. They had walked miles
to school daily until too weak to
dc so from lack of food.
The boys, alone on hillside ranch
ebout . miles from Hughes Lake,
at the head of Pine Canyon, had
their first square meal for weeks to-
day-thanks to Mr.. Smith and resi-
dents of the country hills.
The boys father died years ago,
Their mother remarked and died a
few years later. Since that time,
years ago, their stepfather, Harry
Cartman, had been sending them
what money he could make. For the
past two months, Cartman had not
been able to send more than So, all
he had, but not enough to keep the
wolf from the door.
Cartman has another one of their
brothers, Howard, also 10, with him.
The fifth brother of the family,
Tom, IS, is crippled, but working
digging ranch at lodge few
miles away.
1t was also learned today that the
boys grandfather in Sweden died
recently, leaving them about $500
apiece. But the will, however, pro-
vides that they will not be able to
use the money until they are 81.
So the struggle will go on for some
years to come, it seems.
They are trying to sell the ranch
and need home where they can all
be together, they said.
Swedes in this city and state ought
to look into this case. The writer
will notify the Swedish consul to-
morrow.

SOCIALISTS RUN
FORUM NOT FOR
WORKING CLASS
Ignore All Problems of
Labor
by Worker Correspondent

PHILADELPHIA (By MaiD -
The discredited group of realtors,
moving picture magnates, brokers
and various other kinds of easy
money boys who make up the small
local branch of the alleged social
ist" party are conducting forum
this year in Philadelphia.
They have arranged a program
of lectures which they are now ad-
vertising on billboards in Mitten's
subway and elevated stations. And
judging from these advertisements
they have succeeded in arranging a
series of talks about as safe, sane
and innocuous as we'll as devoid of
any kind of interest to the workers
of Philadelphia as could possibly be
imagined.
DESTINY of Democracy"
Probably the most important thing
about these events for the pseudo
intelligentsia, for the fact stands
out in large type on the first line
Of the billboards, is the Chamber
Music Ensemble.
And so for the speakers, the sea-
son starts out with no less per-
sonage than DR.. James Murphy who
will enlighten the assembled tired
and retired ex-radicals on ''The Des-
tiny of Democracy"
DIR. Murphy is, according to the
announcement, fascinating speak
err, having lectured before the lead
ing universities in England. This, it
is said makes him an authority"
on international affairs, and in ad-
dition he is a frequent contributor
to the Atlantic Monthly.
The next speaker will be Walter
Prichard Eaton, dramatic critic of
the "great aristocrat" of Rabbit
magazines, "The American Maya
zine" He will devote his oral talents
to "Shaw and O'Neill-a Contrast
in Modern Drama" He will, in all
likelihood, do it as BELTS a writer
on the staff of the Monthly Horatio
Alger. If he takes a good look at
the audience he will probably talk
chiefly about how much money
Shaw and O'Neill are making, what
kind of limousines they like best,
what radio sets they use in 'listen-
ing in" and what kind of cigarettes
they smoke.
High Cost of Dying.
The following week our old friend
Paul Blanchard, billed as DR.. Paul
Blanchard, field secretary of the
League Tor Industrial Democracy
and assistant editor to the Nation
will talk on what is likely to prove
an interesting topic to members of
the socialist party. This lecture is
entitled "The High Cost of Dying"
Yes, at a time when workers are
thinking of the high cost of living,
party that still pretends to be a
party at least interested in the well
fare of workers, gives a lecture on
"The High Cost of Dying"
At any rate, it's most appro-
pirate subject for it is doubtless
costing the socialist" party lot
of money to die.

CRIPPLED, he
DEMANDS RIGHTS
Lost Arm on Job; Law
F'aVOrS Bosses
by a Worker Correspondent

by a Worker Correspondent
LOS ANGELES, (By MaiD.-
The State Industrial Accident Com
mission Of California seems to be a
hard-boiled master class institution
to deal with. But Charles w. Hun
ter, 518 w. 48th St., who was a
machinist for the Baash Ross Tool
Company until August 1927, when
he lost his left arm, fights for his
rights as a man. He is appearing
every day at the offices of the COM
mission, Oil Associated Realty
Building. He will continue to visit
the office daily until he gets justice,
he says.
Hunter has obtained a victory
with the commission which entities
him to "a per cent disability money.
This is not enough, he says. He
feels that he should be given 80
per cent disability income. He was
left-handed and says that the acct
dent has practically disabled him for
life. Besides that he says that re-
curing pain in his left shoulder and
attacks of anesthesia incapacitate
him. He has been unable to do any
work for Is months, he declared.
A rehearing before the supreme
court was refused. 1t was refused
ne says, because the referee made an
affidavit saying it was impossible
to deal with him, and that the higher
court was then prejudiced.
Not Picketing-Just Demanding.
On Sept. 26, during his stay in
the commissions office, two plain
clothesmen were called to arrest
hlm-for picketing. He would not
submit to arrest, but went with them
to central police station, made a
statement to the desk sergeant in
| charge and then returned to his
seat in the office of the commission.
Il am not picketing the place"
Hunter said, 81 intend to keep on
demanding my rights until / get
them. | have been living on starva-
ton money for the past 10 months,
trying to pay off the interest and
payments on my property, but it
is impossible this way.
Il intend to keep up this fight
until get rehearing and all that
l deserve"
Hunter wants lump sum from
the Baash Ross Tool Company. This
case has not been settled yet. The
fight with the industrial commits
sion, he says, is to secure a total
disability wage and 30 per cent of
the average wage for the rest of
his life.
Commission Defends Its Judgment.
In statement, made public today,
Meyer Lissner, commissioner, claims
that Hunter is getting the maxi
mum amount allowed under the COM
pensation act. That may be tire
when using the figures of a "a per
cent disability. But the injured
worker feels that he is entitled to
a total disability wage. The right
arm is valued higher than the left
one, according to the compensation
act. That is not so, however, with a
left-handed man-and Hunter was
left-handed. To rule otherwise is a
left-handed way of handling things,
it seems. At first, the commission
decide that "the maximum amount
allowed under the compensation act"
was far below the IA per cent dis
ability wage. Hunter fought for a
higher rating and, finally, got it.
He is now after the 80 per cent dis
ability wage, and he may get that,
too.
