And what happened to Anna and
Mishka, you ask? Contrary to what
happens in the old fairy tales. Fa-
tima's aunt who had mistreated her
so badly, was not eaten up by a
tiger or struck by lightning. Neither
was she sent to prison, which in
the Soviet Union are not really
prisons but Labor Communes, for
the comrade inspector, Vanya, and
her teacher at the club, all agreed
that the best way to change Anna
lay in another direction. And in the
Soviet Union, the idea is not to
punish working people when they
do wrong but to make them good
citizens. Since Anna had gone to
work, was taking a great interest
in learning to read and write, and
begun to realize what a great
wrong she had done the two chill
dren, who were now quite safe, the
Soviet authorities agreed that Anna
should continue her present life,
under the supervision and encour-
agement Of her new friends.
AS for Mishka, he turned out
to be bright lad, who learned
quickly, once he set himself to it.
The last news of him was that he
was making good progress as an

Postal Workers

New I OK.
Editor Daily Worker:
I read your article on Postal
Workers and will say it's true. The
speed the men are worked at re-
suits in many accidents. The men
are then charged with negligence
and forced to pay for any property
which may be damaged. The work
ers do not kick because every man
can be fired, as they get more mail
than they can deliver on one trip
and must carry some over for the
next trip.
If an inspector finds some mail
in their bag on the return trip it
is breaking charge. To obtain a
certain amount of security the men
must join the republican party, and
then charges against them are
dropped when they obtain influence.
The men are kept under close sur
veillance and are discharged if they
give any information to newspapers
on the grounds. Post office bust
ness is not to be given out to the
public.
Many workers are expressing
themselves and no longer give a
damn if they get fired or not and
to conclude, boys, it's no use going
to the fat boy Haywood Broun for
help. Write in the Daily Worker
which is fighting for us.

Elton Laundry
Boss Has MQny
Tricky Schemes
BROOKLYN, N. Y.

Brooklyn, N. Y.
The Daily Worker:
The Elton Steam Laundry, Brook
Ign, employs about 100 workers,
mostly Negro women. I want to
tell you some of the schemes of the
boss to make US work for nothing.
We are supposed to get $12 to
SIS for the more skilled work, but
we never get that much. The boss
takes off for every hour when we
do not work, but he does not pay
us for overtime. For instance, Mon
Gay, when we do not work a full
day, which is 10 hours, he pays US
only $1.20 for half day, though we
work much more than half day.
The same for Saturday, though we
work until late in the afternoon.
On the other hand, when he
makes US come in half an hour or
an hour earlier and makes stay an
hour or more late, we get nothing
for that. At the sa Ae time he has
clock which is in the habit Of
getting about Is minutes slow to-
wards the end of the day. At the
end of the week, when it gets a
little slow, one of the mangles is
shut down and the workers laid off,
while the others are made to work
double quick.
Besides working such long hours
and getting paid almost next to
nothing, there are many other evils
in the laundry. For instance, the
wash room is not separated from
the rest of the workers, and when
the machines are opened all the
steam and strong corroding odor
hits US all in the face. We are
always choking and coughing all
day. There is no safety means at all.
The belts keep on breaking and we
have to jump to get out Of the way
of being killed or injured. The
mangles are not covered with hoods
to draw the heat out. The heat
from the open mangles is terrible,
so much that in the summer some
tainted on the job. There is no
wash room, no place to put our
clothes, no place to eat. The
toilet is simply shocking. We have
to throw our things around. We
have to eat amidst the stacks Of
laundry, which is full of chemicals.
The cleaners & Laundry Workers
League has been speaking to the
workers in the laundry through
meetings and leaflets. Some work
ers are enthusiastic for organiza-
ton, and are ready to join the
League. If all the workers join in
the movement, we will soon be able
to force the boss to give US a living
wage and lessen the terrible exploit

Of capitalism as democratic" Tam
many is.
But envious capitalist politicians,
hungry for graft, organized another
gang in those old days ia fight
the "O'Connell Guards" In the
summer of 1885 the two gangs
waged a regular battle all over
the East Side and every cop in
town was out-naturally to help
Tamany. So the Tanany gang
sters won the battle and since then
the boastei democratic forms at
changing administrations" have
prevailed-but left Tammany rule
unchallenged by armed revolt.
When the Tiger Plays Possum.
Reform parties have occasionally
swept the town. But on such &C.
casions the Tammany tiger simply
played dead until the reform" ad-
ministration itself gat angled up in
graft, when Tammany summoned
the "Honest citizenry" to raise in
it's might to uphold righteousness"
and Tammany.
By the middle of the last GEN.
fury the sources of graft had all
been systemized. Every cop paid
5000 for his OBJ. All other posi-
tians were sold at comparable rates.
There were about 10000 saloons in
New York City, about 5000 houses
of prostitution and around 1000
gambling dens. The places not
owned outright by Tammany lead
ers paid l::;ed amount weekly.
The brothels, thaugh not illegal"
at that time were under police
jurisdiction for extracting graft.
The same thing applies today, the
illegal" prostitutes being a mon
opoly for police graft. Then, the
regular patrolmen had the privil-
eye of grating from street-walk-
ers, much as at present. The
gambling halls were the big source
at graft, however, and none could
hope to get far in Tammany pol
itics if he didn't own at least one.
Walker Fears Bolshevism.
1t is interesting to note here,
Tammany's altitude toward Negro
slavery. With the same fear
against rising of present day
wage slaves which caused Mayor
Walker in a recent speech to say
that something had to be dane"
about unemployment, or we would
"have Bolshevism and an end of
US ALL" Tammany in the days of
Negro slavery was viciously against
the abolition movement.
One of Tammany's leaders issued
a manifesto in which he declared
that slavery was a divine institu-
ton. Tammany Hall produced a
learned doctor who proved" that
Negroes were not men, because, he
said, the Negroes facial line was
not at right angle with the
ground, but like that of animals,
at smaller angle.
This was the time, incidentally,
that New York City was run by a
Board of Alderman which became

sold offices to the higheost bidder,
