LAUNDRY union
DRIVE NEEDED
Among Most Exploited
Workers

Representative of exploited laun-
cry workers are expected to be at
the Metropolitan Area Trade Union
Unity Conference to be held Tues
day Aug. 20 at 7.30 p. m. according
to a statement issued yesterday by
the Laundry Workers Section, Trade
Union Educational League, 235 West
10th st.
The statement urges the workers
Of the hundreds of laundries of New
York to elect delegates to the con-
ference. It states that every laundry
is entitled to one delegate for every
25 workers.
owe laundry workers of greater
New York. reads the statement,
"are victims of the bosses with their
merciloss, ever increasing speed-up
system and the horrible conditions
forced upon us. The tens Of thou
sands of unorganized laundry work
crs are facing an attack of The or
gained bosses.
"The 10000 men, women, young,
black and white workers employed
in the laundry industry are working
under horrible conditions. Long
hours, low wages, speed-up system,
unsanitary conditions, are forced
upon us by the bosses.
"Only 500 workers are organized
in this industry, and even these
workers are kept divided into sepa-
rate craft locals by the officials of
the American Federation of Labor.
These locals play no role in the laun-
dry industry, in which over 10000
workers are employed. The Off
Gals of the locals of the American
Federation Of Labor are mere agents
of the bosses.
"The officials of the American
Federation of Labor are helping the
bosses to force the ever growing
speed-up system upon our backs.
The betrayals of the strikes in three
steam laundries by Local 200, which
were conducted by Boss Schnider-
man, who is an official of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, and the
recent strikes of the laundry driv-
ers betrayed by Rosenzweig and
Schechter has opened the eyes of
the workers in the laundry industry
to the necessity of an organization
of a new laundry workers industrial
union.
"The Negro workers, who are the
most oppressed and exploited in the
laundry industry, constitute an i'm
portant section of the workers, and
they are ready for organization.
These thousands of Negro workers,
together with all workers in the
laundry industry, must be organized
into one powerful industrial union of
laundry workers.,
"The laundry workers section of
the Trade Union Educational League
is waging campaign to organize
all the laundry workers into one
powerful industrial union. The laun-
dry workers section of the Trade
Union Educational League is an or
ganization of progressive and mill
tant workers within the laundry in
dustry."

Of reproduction. Having reached this
point, he sought for corrective.
The announcement just made regard
ing these experiments, which, 1t Is spe-
ciAcally stated, are still indeterminate
and inconclusive, gives ground for the
hope that the corrective has been
found, that the long-sougft cure for
cancer may have been, or is about to be,
actually discovered, for DIR. Tharald-
sen has, by long series Of elininatory
experiments, hit upon q certain min
eral which has the power to check the
growth of the cancer cells without in
juring normal tissue. This work, how
ever, the formal statement says, is still
only in an early laboratory stage and
holds no immediate promise of benefit-
ing human patients.
If the secret of the wild cell forma-
tion-which cancer researchers have
generally come to regard as the cause
of this dread disease-has been discov-
cred, a long step has been made toward
ultimate discovery of a corrective. If
that corrective has been identified, even
though not yet definitely or assdredly,
there is ground for hope. There re-
mains the vitality important and highly
dangerous work Of experimentation upon
human tissue. 1t Is the history OF med
ical research that at such a juncture
people offer themselves for tests for
the sake of possible cure for themselves
or for the sake Of the possible allevia-
ton of human ills. Again, it is the his
tory Of science that when the cause Of
q disease and the method Of its begin
ming and development are discovered
the corrective Is found. That this viii
be the course in the present instance
is the fervent prayer of the human
race.

The Cause and Cure Of Cancer.

From time to time announcement IS
made of some step of progress toward
the solution of the cancer mystery,
which remains now as one of the most
obstinate and dangerous afflictions to
which humanity is subject, beyond the
reach Of positive curative measures.
Yet, summed up these advances amount
to but little in the way Of actual accom-
plishment. The causation Of cancer
and It's corrective have remained un-
solved.
The latest accomplishment to DE an
nounced has been effected in the New
York Homeopathic Medical College and
Flower Hospital, where Dr. C. E. Tha-
raldsen, professor of anatomy, has been
working for some time in elaboration Of
a theory of Theodor Boveri, a Belgian
scientist, that cancer is produced by
disruption Of the chromosome mech
aniSm. The chromosomes are a series of
stringlike bodies appearing in the cells
of every living being. Each carries the
hereditary units or genes. 1t has been
calculated that in the human the
chromosomes of the germ cell can be
| united in any one of seventeen million
| ways. Boveri's theory is that cancer re-
| suits from some hereditary defect in
the structure of the centrosome, or CEN
trail body, which draws the chromosomes
| together in the new CELL DR.. Tharald-
sen found that he could produce centro-
somes from various parts of a cell. He
then began his experiments in first the
creation Of centrosomes and then In
their arrangement, to cause eccentrici-
ties in the new cell, which become
hereditary in subsequent reproductions
| The bare outline of these experiments
reads like detective story The scien-
tist pursued the criminal by the syn
thetic method, building UP the crime
in theory, in order TO arrive at a solu-
ton. He found that by administering q
shock to the forming cell, or centro.
some--by X-rays, ultraviolet rays, By
touch with fine glass needle point, BY
cold, heat or contact with chemical
he could make new cells possessing {
wide range of peculiarities, cells tina

Darkness Before Dawn.

While 1t is freely conceded that
washington is governed in an eco
nomical manner, which, of course, is
quite satisfactory to the taxpayers,
there are. some economies that are like
ly to do more harm than good. Notable
among these Is the tendency Of the
Electrical Department Of the District
Government to turn OF street lights be-
fore daybreak. For the past few morn
ingS washington, between approximate
ly the hour of five-thirty and six
thirty O'Clock, has presented an ideal
setting for the burglar or highwayman
and a breeding place for trafflc acei-
dents due to the prevalence Of unlighted
parked cars at the curb.
1t may be we'll argued, Of course, that
burglars would be inclined to operate
at an earlier hour than just be-
fore the break Of dawn and that auto
mobile traff1c Is not heavy at that time
of day, but nevertheless there can be
no security in darkness for even short
period In q city as important as Wash
ington. 1t would appear that this mat
ter would bear investigation.

Stops of Street Cars
Called Inconsistent
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
I hope you will open your columns to
expressions of opinion on this subject
which seems vital to all car patrons.
One of the most inconsistent things is
the transfer system of our street rail-
ways, especially at Ninth and F streets.
For example, the cars on F street going
in an easterly direction come to full
stop on reaching Ninth street, but the
passengers must be carried on to
Eighth street before being allowed to
alight then they are compelled to walk
back to Ninth street to take car going
in either direction on Ninth street. The
cars on F street going in westerly
direction stop at the northeast corner
of H street and Vermont avenue, requir-
ing the passengers for the Veterans
Bureau to walk across Vermont avenue,
oftentimeS through rain, slush and snow
to reach the Veterans Bureau. YER
mont avenue is very broad at this point
and the automobile traff1c is extremely
heavy. It would eliminate much dam
ger crossing the street If the cars could
stop at the northwest corner. I have
seen aged and crippled women limp
across Vermont avenue to reach the
bureau when the cars could discharge
passengers at the northwest corner,
which is right at the H street entrance
of the bureau. I hope the local press
will agitate these conditions until q
demand for their elimination cannot be
ignored. E. a. WEDLAhE'

Canadian Brewers
Hit Home Beverages

From the Toronto Daily Star.
The plea made recently by the
brewers of Canada before the tarlh
board for a reduction In the excise
duty on their product appears TO nave
been supported with the remarkable
statement that In Ontario nearly zoo. :.
600 persons make home brew and that
many of them are selling the beer
Illegally in competition with the bev-
erages sold by the government. Had o
statement of the same tenor been made
by prohibitionists during the recent
election campaign it would have been
denounced as gross exaggeration.
The brewers state that 10000 per-
sons have taken the trouble to notify
the nearest collector of customs OF their
intention to make home brew-which Is
all the law requires of them. And the
trade estimates that 10000 persons in
Canada, of whom about 10000 are in
this province, are making home brew
without bothering to notify the federal
authorities. If these figures be taken
as correct, it would mean that one in
every three homes Is brewing its own
beer, although for two and q half years
the government has been selling liquor
of all sorts to all-comers at reasonable
prices.
1t is very doubtful that home brew
brewers intimate The number of no.
tices mentioned probably includes all
of those sent in over a period of years,
many of them by persons who made
one experiment and went no further.
But If the figures were reduced by one
half, home brewing operations would
still be left on a scale that would pro-
duce millions of dollars of beer yearly
TO be added to the huge total consump-
ton admitted by the liquor control
board.
During the 1926 election campaign
Premier Ferguson intimated that his
government-control system was going
to put an end to home brewing. If
the brewers are to be believed the syS-
tenn has utterly failed to have that
effect The province today has 413,000
residents who are supplied with liquor
permits and, it appears, well on to
20O, 900 home brewers, or together a
number equal to two-thirds Of the
number of votes cast in the provincial
election.
