COURT UPH0LDS
SHOE BLACKLIST
ON COMMUNISTS
May Says Worker Must
Not Have Politics
Boss Doesn'tLike
Strikebreaking Ruling
All Right for Employer
to Violate Contract

Rushing to the aid of Whalen,
and of the bosses who control him
including the shoe bosses, Justice
Mitchell May yesterday ruled that
it is legal to blacklist Communists,
and that a contract with union
is to be broken unless the workers
will sign a yellow dog statement to
be good slaves and never turn Com
munists.
WhaIen's blacklist now has official
court support, and by this ruling
boss does not have to keep con-
tract if he chooses to find some
Communists among the workers.
The decision was given in the
case of the injunction applied for
by the Schwartz and Benjamin Shoe
Co. which locked out it's workers at
the behest of Commissioner Wood of
the U. S. Department of Labor.
The Independent Shoe Workers
Union has fought and will continue
to fight militant struggle against
this, and other strike breaking shoe
companies. The decision of the judge
makes the shoe lockout more than
ever the concern of all workers, who
are in it enjoined to not hold poll
teal opinions the employer does not
like.

Steel Output
Falls, Hitting
Hoover Lies

Not long ago lot of capitalist
spokesman were predicting all sorts
of gains in steel production, as
proof" that the severe crisis OF
American capitalism was lessening.
What are the facts?
March and April are usually the
highest points of steel production.
During January, the steel bosses
were able to squirt up steel produc-
ton to about the average of 70 per
cent of capacity-about ten per cent
below 1929.
Now, when under normal condi-
tions, they should be increasing
their output, steel production is
going down every day. A week
ago steel production declined five
per cent. Last week it dropped an
other three per cent.

pitalists admit they should make
their best showing.

.GANDHI FOOLS,
WORKERS STRIKE
Police Beat Many, But
Toilers Defend Selves

BOMBAY, March 13.-Gandhi's
march to Jaialpur to produce salt
as a defiance" to British imperial
ism resulted in several clashes be-
tween Mahatma Gandhi's followers
and police-something contrary to
Gandhi's wishes. Gandhi's circus
stunt is the most valuable assistance
to British imperialism yet devised
by the petty-bourgeois takers in In
dia. 1t is an open attempt to de-
fleet the revolutionary mood of the
masses into futile channels which
would be utterly comical if they
did not involve tragedy for the In
dian workers and peasants.
The Mayor of Calcutta, J. NJ.
Sen Gupta, who sponsors Gandhi's
emasculated policies, was arrested
today for an alleged seditious speech
at Rangoon. Gupta is wealthy
Hindoo who exploits hundreds of
Indian workers.
Meanwhile, bitter struggle is
going on conducted by the railway
workers on the Indian Peninsula
Railway who are on strike. Police
charged the strikers with clubs to-
day, beating-up many Of them. Sew
eral are in the hospital. The strik-
ers defended themselves against the
police attacks and threw stones at
the agents of British Imperialism.

Times announced in the morning
that Flynn, secretary of the Police
department, had arranged with Bert
Miller to hold a meeting at Colum-
bus Circle at noon. This bit of
news was cut out of the later edition
of the Times. During the forenoon
Miller appeared in Whalen's office,
and assured him that he represented
the peaceful Communists" and
wanted neither disorder nor a
parade" Whalen notified him he
could hold the meeting. Miller pro-
missed eagerly to disband it any
time the police desired.
After the interview, Whalen no.
titled the press that he "found Mil
Ter fine young fellow, very willing
to cooperate with u.s." Some con-
trast between Whalen's opinion of
Miller and his opinion of the COM
mittee elected by 100000 Thursday !!
The Lovestone meeting itself
lasted hardly 20 minutes. There
were speeches by Gitlow and Miller
and others, as many police as Love-
stoneites, twice as many reporters,
and practically no workers or I'M
employed. Whalen arrived in his
automobile, and suggested that it
had gone on long enough, where
upon the Lovestoneites packed their
traps and left. 1t was admitted by
the police that they were there to
protect the right wing from the

CUES are rushing a program of wide
spread discussion, drawing up of
resolutions, modifying of masses of
unemployed and all their local unions
and leagues to elect delegates to this
conference. The conference will be
not only a gigantic movement for
the winning of the demands of the
unemployed, and a mobilization for
a still larger and broader based ma
tional unemployment convention
later in Chicago, but a national pro-
test against the assault on unem-
ployed workers March 6, and the
arrest in New York of their elected
committee to the mayor.

LEADERS AT JAIL
Prosecution Says Will
Rush Case to Trial

After the capitalists, through
their legal machine and trickery,
had exhausted every means of keep
ing the leaders elected by the 10000
New York workers at the March 6
Work or Wage demonstration, in
Jail, and because of the growing
mass protest movement against the
open attack of the capitalist state
against the unemployed workers,
Foster, Minor, Amter, Lester, Ray
mond, were released on bail totalling
S62,50o. Together with them were
released two other workers arrested
at the demonstration and charged
with assault, Leon Lewis and Ray

At first more than adequate bail
was provided by Mrs. Arthur Gar
field Hayes, but the capitalist courts
refused to accept it, in their at
tempts to keep the unemployed lead
ers in Jail as long as possible.

With the death of Karl Marx
fOrty-seven years ago today, the
international working class lost its
greatest leader prior to the time
of V. /. Lenin. Marx, and with
him, Engels, were the founders Of
Scientific Socialism or Commun-
ism, and as such supplied the pro-
letariat its scientific, revolution
airy theory without which the reyO-
lutiOnary struggle of the workers
against their oppressors is impos-
sible. Marx taught the working
class the necessity and the condi-
lions of its emancipation. And
Lenin, building on the basis of
Marxism, applied the teachings of
Marx to the present period of the
decay of capitalism and ushering
in of the proletarian revolutions.

Editorial Comment
The Next Waterway Event
(St. Louis GlObe-D cmOcrat

The next important development in the waterway
history of the continent will be the dedication and open
ing OF the new Welland canal, on a date yet to be fixed,
during 1880. It has been more than fifteen years in
building and it's total cost is placed at Sis OO0, 900, about
the cost of canalizing the Ohio and a third Of the cost
OF the Panama canal. Its depth is twenty-five feet and
its locks will accommodate the very longest and widest
types of vessels.
In making freer communications between Lake Ontario
and the upper lakes possible, alone, the value Of this
costly engineering work for overcoming the 362-foot fall
in the Niagara river will be very great. Toronto al
ready is expanding its grain terminals and all around
the Ontario ports are preparing for new business. It's
most important effect, however, will be in bringing nearer
a decision as to the st. Lawrence route to the sea.
From the first. this Welland project has been looked
on as q link in the greater st. Lawrence project. In
fact. If the United States and Canada enter an equal
partnership IN constructing that route, the cost of the
Welland canal is to be subtracted from Canada's share
OF the entire cost Of the sea route, leaving only q COM
small sum for her to meet.

DIET THEORIES AND PRACTICAL
FEEDING

DIET THEORIES AND PRACTACAA
FEEDING
Literature dealing with proper feed
ing has constantly emphasized GER
tain theories, many Of which have
been Of no practical value to the lay
man, and certainly of little value to
the physician. No doubt many doc
tors have given up the use Of diet
treatment principally because these
old theories have not been found to
be helpful when applied to the pa
tient.
Thousands of books have been writ
ten about diet and food, but so many
have been only copies Of other books
alread published with very little adj
dltional material cleaned from Ori-
ginal research.
To the earnest eearcher after truth,
theories about any subject are OF
course interesting; but these theories
so often must give way to the result
of practical experience! Even physt-
clans are apt to fall into the habit Of
teaching, parro:-like, what they read
if the books are only put out by es-
tablished medical publishing COM
panies.
If the original thinker and observer
attempts to publish a book with new
ideas, such a book is Immediately
frowned upon by the so-called au-
thorities whose sole claim for being
called authorities" lies in the fact
that they teach, and often believe,
WORKOUT and moth-eaten theories.
The radical is always the nj who
in his earnest zeal pushes the q of
progress farther up the hill, while the
conservative thinker is no doubt Of
equal help in finally blocking the
wheels and holding what has been
gained. All the real work of achieve
ment is, however, done by the revolu-
tionary mind of the scientist who is
looking mostly for practical truths.
In the realm of food science the
most noteworthy contributions have
been made by laymen or physicians
not recognized by the orthodox medi-
,al societies. Here is a short list of
authors whose writings have never
been officially recognized. Drs. Dewey,

It's Exciting. ANYHOW

1t is a little bit hard to tell just how seriously one is
to take this news Of a dreadful plot to blow up the
senate chamber in Washington. There seems to be a
certain amount Of evidence on the matter; yet the whole
business has such a moving picture melodrama sound
that ones tendency is to dismiss it as a hoax.
However, true or false, the plot at least provides a bit
of excitement for a dull winter. Nothing of this kind has
been attempted, as far as we know, since Guy Fawkes
laid his memorable plans for blowing the British parlia-
ment into the Thames. It would be fearsome to learn
that our senator's were really in danger; but pending the
confirmation of such a suspicion, we can at least sit
back and enjoy the turmoil.

Of truths will constantly present

There is no encyclopedia Of diet
which contains all there Is to know
on this subject. Food science is only
in its infancy, and it does not yet ap-
pear what it shall be-.
AS sure as effects follow causes, Just
so surely will we find that the health
of the body depends upon the food
we eat.

Today Is the
Anniversary of
ALEXANDER BELLS BIRTH

On March 3, 1847, Alexander Ora
ham Bell, American scientist, dis
tinguished for his invention of the
telephone, was born in Edinburgh,
Scotland. After receiving his educa-
ton at London University he moved
to Canada with his father at the age
of %.
Had it not been for the fact his
father was an instructor of the deaf
and dumb, Bell might never have
come upon his great invention, for it
was his interest in his fathers work
which led him to experiment with the
talking telephone.
At the age of IS, with a reputation
already gained, Bell became profess
sor of vocal physiology at Boston
university. He continued his tele-
