new HOSPITAL
IN ST. Louis in
Jim CROW PLAN
SWindle Negro Voters
to Get Clinic
by a Worker Correspondent

(By Worker Correspondent
ST. LOUIS, Mo. (By MaiD.-The
Board of Aldermen and tie Public
Welfare Committee on Friday unani-
mously approved q measure which
would locate the proposed hospital
north of and adjoining the main
city hospital for whites. This would
repeal an ordinance passed several
years ago, locating the new institu-
ton in the heart of the Negro dis
trict. The repeal measure, it is
clearly understood, is for the pur-
pose Of reducing the proposed
81 100000 hospital to a Jim-Crow
ward, adjacent to- the white institu-
ton, and the abolishing of the Ne
gro doctors, nurses and superin-
tendents.
Mayor for Jim Crow.
Victor J. Miller, mayor of St.
Louis, has been unalterably opposed
70 the plans of the Negroes, to the
extent that he stubbornly refused to
release the funds with which to
build the new hospital provided for
in the passage of the bond issue.
Incidentally, Miller is a candidate
for reelection.
Negroes voted fer the passage of
the bond issue with the understand
ing that they would get a new hos
rital to be named by Negroes, To-
Gated in the block bounded by Cot
tage, Kennerly and Goode AYES. and
Whittier St.
While Miller has argued for the
site adjacent to the white hospital
on the preteXt that it could be OPP
Grated more cheaply and would have
better facilities, it is well known to
the majority of the Negroes, here,
that the motive of joining the hos
pital to the main institution is spri-
marily to have the Negro patients
serve as clinical material for the
several white medical schools. 1t is
to be remembered that st. Louis is
the city which has repeatedly re-
fused to erect a school for the Ne
gro children.

A NEW REBEL THEATRE
Jewish Workers to Open Play Sunday

The Workers Jewish Theatre,
formerly known as the F'reiheit
Dramatic Studio, will make its
debut on Broadway on Sunday
night, Dec. IT, according to an an
nouncement made yesterday by the
theatres business department. The
group has engaged the 48th st.
Theatre and will present "At the
Gate" their first production, for
seven consecutive Sundays, evening
and matinee.
cat the Gate" is a trilogy by
Steiman, a young Russian writer
who met his untimely death at the
hands OF the white guards on the
barbados in the civil war follow
ing the seizure of power by the
Bolsheviks in 1917.
The group is made up entirely of
workers who work at their trades
in the day and who are actors at
night. They have been rehearsing
"At the Gate'' for the past six
months under the direction of Jacob
Mestel, who studied under Rein
hardt in Germany.
In their efforts to wipe out all
traces of amateurism the group has
been trained in dancing by Fokine,
in the art of makeup by the make
up expert of the Habima players and
in voice culture by Serge Rodanskp.
Mestel, the director, follows in
technique the methods of the State
Jewish Theatre, which is coming to
New York from Moscow next
month.

Find Another Way for

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-A no.
tice to postmasters as a result of
federal investigation of a New York
organization known as "Santa Claus
Association" states that charitable"
organizations to whom postmasters
have in the past been turning over
letters which credulous youth writes
to "Santa Claus" have been using
the information gained from the let

having tried and failed in quite
number of schemes in Portland and
in Kansas. So his christian social
ist heart started aching for the
workers of California and his secret
apirits told him OF a new way to
"help" his fellow-workers and poor
brethren of California. He then
opened a cooperative lunch in
Frisco, with most of the workers
investing their wages. Large signs
announcing that "ninety-five" per
cent of the profits go to the work
ers were displayed, appointing him
self president with a salary suitable
for presidents. AS business in
creased, with branches all over the
state, profits for the workers de-
creased, but they were assured that
their money is used to open up more
branches, and therefore the money
will remain in one family. And it
is no lie.
As we are told, some Of Mr..
Leighton's branches are sold for a
fair price, and the workers can again
look for another chance to get rich
quick in some other profit-sharing
scheme, if they have not learned
from their recent experience yet.
And what is the A. F. of L. doing
to organize the workers?
Out CT eight thousand employed
in the industry, only about fifteen
hundred are organized in three To-
cal unions and when looking for
working in one of the larger hotels,
one must be sure first to hold a
membership card in some other fra
ternal organization, like the Geneva,
an international scab outfit, the Pa
cific Coast Waters Association, or
the Chef de Cuisine, where first
class chef-slaves belong. Then you
are given a chance to work for part
wages and commission or patronize
the employment sharks, where you
usually are made to pay from six
to fifteen dollars for a job that will
in most cases last only few weeks.
Fellow-workers of the food indus
try, how long are we going to stand
for such miserable conditions p? How
long will we keep paying dues to
some graft institutions that force
the workers to scab on each other
when opportunity arises. 1t is time
to organize a real industrial fighting
organization. Then and then only
will we be able to establish decent
conditions in the food industry.

there is "trouble" brewing for the
bosses. A militant group, which is
beginning to struggle against the
company control of the club, has
shown determinedly a spirit to fight
the company dictatorship, and for
a real union in the Shelton Looms.
Recently the superintendent of
the Shelton Looms announced that
the company would no longer pay
the rent for the clubrooms. The
workers on the other hand welcomed
this announcement with statement
that they will pay their own rent
from now on. The spies and the
agents of the Blumenthal Mills, how
ever, are working overtime to pre-
vent the growing independence OF
the clubs from the losses.
With the greater concentration of
wealth in fewer and fewer hands,
and the attempt on the part Of the
employing class to exert greater
pressure for greater exploitation Of
the workers, we find even the COM
pany unions will develop into in
struments of class struggle. The
instances cited above are being re-
peated in almost all of the big shops
where such company unions exist.
But lack of outside support, both
organizational and moral, all at
tempts on the part of the workers
to break away from company con-
troll have so far not materialized.
The Blumenthal Salts Mills are
at the present time becoming very
busy, with the large orders on hand
for their special line of auto up
holstery, velvets, pushes, etc. which
has largely market of home con-
sumption, and is little effected by
international competition.
At this time an effort must be
made on the part Of the left wing
and militants, particularly members
of the National Textile Union, to
develop fighting rank and file
groups within these company unions
with the aim in view of turning
them into real trade unions to strug-
gle for the best interests of the
working class. There are $4,000 tex
tile workers in the state of Connec-
ticut affording quite a field for the
new National Textile Union.

Farm Takers to Hold
Annual Congress to
"Aid" Poor Farmers

CHICAGO, H., Dec. 10.-Another
relief plan to coax the farmer along
will be drafted at the tenth annual
convention of the American Farm
Federation, which opened here to-
day. The claim is made that
this will represent the views of q
100000 farmers.
The convention, at which farm
ers from SO states will be "repre-
sented," will draw up legislative
program claimed to cover the needs
of the farmers. It will demand of
Hoover that "farmer-minded"
secretary of agriculture be selected,
and that relief legislation be en-
acted at once.
Militant farmers here to observe
the convention say that it will
simply be another Wall Street af-
fair, since the farmer will continue
to be relieved of nothing but his in
come. They back this up by show
ing that the report on agricultural
conditions will be made by Virgil
Jordan, chief economist for the
manufacturers and bankers Ma

HUNTING ACCIDENT
ON FARM IN SIGEL'

Herbert Wilfahrt, 24-year-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. John Wilfahrt of
New Ulm, and who operates his par
ents' farm in Sigel township, was the
victim of an unfortunate accident
Sunday afternoon of last week. While
out hunting with four neighborhood
boys, Leonard and Roman Domeier
and Edward and Elmer Guggisberg,
the group became tired and sat down
to rest on some tree stumps in an old
slough.
Leonard Domeier, however, decided
to walk around and was shooting at
different objects. Evidently losing
sight of his companions, Leonard hap
pened to shoot in their direction, the
22-calibre bullet striking, Herbert
Wilfahrt, piercing his leather vest
and other clothing and lodging in the
muscles of the back. The young man
sank to the ground, crying out that
he was shot. He was picked up by
his companions and hurried to the
New Ulm hospital where he is now
recovering.

L. STATION BIDDY LAYS
31S EGGS IN 365 DAYS

A. NJ. Pilkey, poultryman of the
University's Northwest Experiment
Station at Crookston, reports that a
White Leghorn hen in the stations
flock has made a new high record of
31S eggs in 365 days. This is an in
crease of six eggs over the5record es-
tablished at that station year ago
and, says Mr.. Pilkey, it is probably
the highest record made in, the mid
western states.
Six hens produced total of 1882
eggs during the year at the station,
an average of 305 eggs each. Other
records kept by the poultryman show
that 100 White Leghorn hens layed
24,116 eggs, or an average of 241
during the year.
"These production records" says
The Northwest Monthly, official
paper of the Northwest School of
Agriculture, "are the results of years
of selective breeding, feeding and
managing. Every bird at the station
has been trap-nested for the last six
years, and all breeding pens selected
from the highest producers, size,
type, and breed character considered.
. Production records of the dams of all
made birds used during the last five
Ayears range from $50 up to 318 eggs.
The first pen special mating for this
wear will include hens with records
Ranging from 300 to 31S eggs each.
Cockerels produced from this pen will
be used to head all pens during the
1880 mating season."
Five classes of feeds were fed these
high layers-scratch grain, laying
mash, green feeds, animal foods, and
minerals. The scratch feed was made
up of equal parts of wheat, barley,
and yellow corn; the dry mash of
equal parts of bran, flour middlings,
ground yellow corn, ground barley,
and meat scraps, plus 2 percent char
coal. Mangels constituted the green
food, and oyster shells and limestone
grit supplied the minerals.
