WASHINGTON, March 27 (FP).-
Sen. Nicely of West Virginia, demo-
crat, entertained the senate with g
critical analysis of Herbert Hoover's
reply to Sen. Borah's QUESTIONABLE
on the prohibition issue Nicely
showed that Hoover after two weeks
of consideration of Borah's questions
had lodged all of them but one. He
described Hoover's letter as "the
sublimest instance of epistolary hum
bugery within the memory of man.
He ridiculed Hoover as "this great
English statesman and dodger," ant
said it was a pity that Hoover coulG
not have been born twins so that he
could remain in both parties and on
both sides of every issue.

Workers Child
Sick; Hospital
Won t Operate
(By Worker Correspondent

(By q Worker Correspondent
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, {By MaiD
l want you to publish this story, it
is true. 1t will let the workers know
what treatment they can expect al
the hospitals of Philadelphia.
Today l met frail little woman,
a mother, who told me she had just
come from the jefferson Hospital
where she had taken her little boy.
The teacher at school had sent notes
that the boy was becoming deaf and
must undergo an operation. This
mother of three children looked as if
she needed medical care herself. She
is the wife of a man who was injured
while in the service and is now work
ing at a job where he makes barely
enough to live on.
She said her little girl needed
glasses, but she didn't have the money
to get them. The child cannot follow
her studies because it makes her head
ache.
At the hospital they told her that
the boy could not be operated on for
less than six dollars. The mother eX-
planned to the social service worker
on duty that morning at the accident
ward of the jefferson Hospital that
she had only five dollars and she had
to live until Saturday on that. The
social service worker demanded a
payment and the rest when the boy
was taken home. But when this
workers wife told the social service
worker that the boy had a fever (the
nurse in attendance had said SOY the
social service worker gave her back
three dollars of the five and impressed
on her that she must have six dollars
for the boys operation.
Now this is the treatment that
workers who are the real ones who
produce anything, even the food
necessary for this miserable specimen
of a social service worker, are ac-
corded. 1t again proves that unless
we are able to pay we must see our
children suffer and are helpless to
prevent it unless we organize to see
that the hospitals are really refugees
of mercy.
Of course we know that, at the
present time, the capitalist system
mas control of our hospitals and that
the workers are oppressed even there,
but the social service worker and the
hospital officials should receive copy
of this letter to let them know that
there will come day of workers

Drivers from 5
Car 1dxlStandS

A fellow-driver told me the other
day that I can find space in your
paper for any interesting matter as
regards the conditions of the taxicab
drivers. l think | have two good
points to bring out.
First, as long as we are not or
ganized, conditions will remain as bad
as they are now. Many attempts
have been made to organize us, but
they all failed because those who
wanted to organize US were not con-
seientious enough. But | can assure
you that if you can find for us the
right man he can do lot for US. He
will find many men ready and willing
to be organized. @ ..,.....
Secondly, like the majority of the
cabdrivers absolutely must work ID
hours day to make living. That
does not mean that can save on
what I make. have to furnish my
own gas in addition to many other
expenses. And the police make us
use up more gas than we use up on
actual trips. We're supposed to have
hackstands where only five cabs are
allowed to stay. If we remain at sny
other place a cop comes along and
tells us to move on, and we must, of
course. The hackstands are very few
in number. Around Union Square,
for instance, there are just two while
thousands of cabs go by wasting gas
for nothing at all. Being hard times
you can just about imagine the kind
of living we're making.

BOSSES FORCE
WAGE SLASHES,
LONGER HOURS
Progressives Leading
Firm Resistance
(By G Worker Correspondent

MANCHESTER, N. H., (By Mail).
Thousands of textile workers in
New England are looking forward to
organization.
The textile conference that took
place in Boston, March II, under the
leadership of the Progressive Tex
tile Workers Committee Of New
England is evidence of this. Dele
gates from every textile center in
New England, representing many or
CARNATIONS and progressive groups,
attended the conference.
Manchester, Fall River.
The fact alone that delegates from
Manchester, New Hampshire and Fail
River, Massachusetts, attended the
conference is of great Importance,
especially when taken in connection
with the fact that the workers of the
two above cities received wage cuts
of ten per cent only few months
ago.
The conference studied the situa-
ton in the industry very carefully
from all angles and drew up a prac-
teal program for organizing the I'M
organized textile workers.
10000 Jobless.
The conditions under which the tex
tile workers are struggling are mis-
cradle. The unemployment during
the last two years, particularly il
the last few months, has affected
more than 10000 workers. Forty
two per cent of the textile workers
are unemployed or working part time.
The unemployment situation is a
weapon in the hands of the boss. But
in spite of unemployment, produc-
ton has increased, according to
manufacturers statistics. And, of
course, the profits of the different
companies have increased. For ex-
ample, the Merimack Mills of Low
ell, Massachusetts,, show a profit of
81 ,295,831 in 1927. In 1926, the profit
was $466,974.
Inhuman Speed-up.
One cause of the unemployment
is improved machinery and the in
human speed-up system. Hours
have increased in many places from
46 to "a. And in many mills night
work now runs from so to ~
hours a week. The wage reduction
That began two months ago spread
thru all the New England mills. In

textile workers.
The gigantic campaign of the
bosses to increase production has
swept the entire industry. The slogan
of the bosses is, Better machinery
the speed-up system, more hours,
wage cuts and more production"
The textile workers who are today
facing this critical situation must re-
sist quickly to stop the campaign of
the bosses and better their own con-
ditions. They have the power, the
only thing they need is organization
The result of the progressive con.
ference was to urge the formation
Of Textile Mill Committees. The
basis of this organization will be mil
