wife to another and younger man, with
whom she thinks she Is in love, he
pauses to make quite sure that the
new man loves his wife enough to
make her happy. Assured of this, he
would let her go. but finding that the

TIME Canadian provinces Of On
tario, Saskatchewan, Alberta and
British Columbia are about tc
IL take vigorous legal measures tc
break the grip which the Amert-
can movie industry has on the Domir-
ions theaters. Incredibly strict CEN
sorship has been in force. its main pur-
ences from the evil influence OF Holly
wood.
Not all the objections to American
films have been on moral grounds
Patriotism has been an important fac
tor. Any scene involving the use OF the
American flag on the screen is almost
sure to be eliminated, as when that
grim hero, Jack Holt, dropped Old
Glory on the South Pole in "Dirigible. +"
One censor board took the trouble to
explain that the South Pole had been
discovered first by the Norwegian
Amlindgen and then by the British
Captain Scott, so that neither Jack
Holt nor Ralph Graves had any btlsi-
ness to be planting American flags on It.
The Canadian censorS also descend
heavily upon all suggestions OF gangster-
ism. This is no more than reasonable,
for the great bootleg industry has no
existence in Canada Except as an i'm
porter, and its workings and those OF
its subsidiary rackets are presumably
of no concern to our peaceable, law
abiding neighbors.
Naturally enough, Canadian audiences
seem to take particular delight in any
demonstrations Of Chicagoan vic'ousness
when they are permitted to see them.
1t gives them a not 'unjustifiable sense
of superiority
A Canadian friend has sent me list
Of the American moving pictures that
were banned in their entirety by the
censors Of British Columbia during the
first six months Of this year. This ap-
palling list makes mention Of none Of
the films that were partially cut It
mentions only those that were COM
pletely and fatty rejected. There were
no fewer than SO Of them, which repre-
sents. q prodigious loss to the American
producers and also to the owners of the

DOCTOR DENIES
TREATMENT TO
WORKERS CHILD
Child With Fractured
Arm Forced to Wait
Hours for Attention
tBy worker Correspondent


DETROIT, Mich.--A few weeks ago
a seven-year old boy of Sandwich,
Ont. broke his arm while playing.
His father took him to doctor who
just then happened to be sitting on
his porch. The doctor, upon seeing
the boys arm in sling, without Civ
ing them time to enter the office, told
the father that he would not attend
to the boy unless he was paid cash.
After vainly pleading and promis-
ing to pay as soon as he got money
the poor man was dismissed with the
generous advice to visit the Sandwich
City Hall.
In the City Hall the father and
the suffering boy spent hours on
going from one office to another
where arrangements were m d e
whereby the Hotel Dieu Hospital
would look after the boy.
The boy lacked medical attention
practically for one whole day because
his father was out Of a job and had
no money. What a difference there
is in the Soviet Union. When a.
worker or one of his children need
medical attention in the USSR they
are given it Immediately at the ex-
pense of the state.

POLICE DESTROY
WORKERS HOMES
Drive Tn EN- ployed
From Shacks
(By a Worker Correspondent


LAS VEGAS, Nev.-The unem-
ployed along Vegas Creek succeeded
in building shacks out Of old boards,
paper boxes and tin TO house their
families for the winter
Some millionaire riding by in his
limousine did not like the looks of
the shacks, as they did not beautify
the landscape. He talked with the
powers that be and few days ago
while the workers were away in town
a squad of police and special depu-
ties swooped down and smashed
every shack to bits. 1t was certainly
a heart-rending sight to see the
women and children being herded
along by the brutal police.
When the men returned and found
the ruins of their homes there was
bitterness in their hearts and they
were ready to do almost anything.
This move of the bosses is espe-
cially serious at this time, with the
cold weather right on the homeless
workers. Most of the campers are
now drifting into Hoover City"
where they find shelter among few
campers who have space to spare.

and cup OF slop which passed for
soup, slum or beans; for supper, a
small portion of mush or soup; and
supposedly three slices of bread for
each meal. However, the wife of the
sheriff made little extra graft on
the side, but not sending in suffi-
Gent bread; and then offering to sell
us bread enough to make up the
difference. Upon one occasion, she
failed to put sugar in the oats for
breakfast, and then changed us three
cents for little sugar.
Brutal Methods
The prisoners receive one. good meal
a week-Sunday dinner-at which
time the sheriff throws a party at
the Jail for his many relatives, and
desires to show them how well he
treats the prisoners. The sheriff, Roy
Moseby, and the prosecuting attorney,
Mr. Anderson, have neat method of
obtaining "confessions"-the take
the suspect over to the office Of Mr..
Anderson, close the curtains, and
force a confession by use of the most
brutal methods. I have seen pris-
cners return from this terrible third
degree hardly able to stand up.

ADSIQeeil, WuolIs
Daily Worker:
Here at Aberdeen at the lumber
mills we have received wage cut after
wage cut. This is the fifth wage cut
that we have received at Schafers
Mill, four since April, 1880.
This is the first time any resistance
has been shown openly by the work
ers, In any mill in Aberdeen.
On the second Of November, a
wage cut went into effect. cutting us
so cents to dollar for those who
get less than SO per day. For those
who get 50 and up we're cut 81 and up
making $3.50 per day low.
A few men walked out and formed
a committee to see what could be
done about it with the representative
of the National Lumber Workers
Union, and some Young Communist
League members in the lead.
We drew up proposals for demands
and at p. m. held a factory gate
meeting. At this meeting we elected
a strike committee which drew up the
following demands:
/. $3.50 minimum wage per day
and the same wage scale as before
the cut for those who were cut a
dolla. or more.
2. Time and half for all overtime
over hours per day.
3. No extra work due TO the
breakers of machinery and no de-
duction OF pay for the same cause.
4. Recognition Of Shop Com
mittec.
5. No blacklist Of strikers.
These are the demands of the
strikers which are not extreme but
which will for a time at least better
our conditions SO that we will not
exactly starve on the job. More later

Takes Up Fight for
Real Relief
tBy a Worker Correspondent

ST. LOUIS. Mo.-A Negro worker,
Frank Warfield, whom the Provid-
ence Association was giving So week
MAST winter to take care of a family
Of four, which is not enough to take
care of one person. The result was
that the babies, one 1-year 8 months
the other years months began to
show effects of undernourishment.
When he asked for more relief,
Mrs. Tatium, one of the represent
tatives of the Providence Association,
told him if he could not take care
OF his family they would have to put
his children in an Orphan Home. She
also asked him If his wife had any
relatives anywhere, that they could
send her to who are able to take care
of her, using the threat of taking her
children and stopping what little re-
lief they got In orde rto force her to
consent to go to her people.
This is open breaking up of the
family and separating the children
from their father. His wife was preg-
nant and needs him. This is one of
the many tricks they use to keep
from helping families who are in a
destituted condition.
This worker has joined the Unem-
ployment Council and pledged him
self to fight in the interests of the
working class, and calls to all work.
ers to join the Unemployment Coun-
Gil and fight for the right to live.
For only thru organization will the
workers be able to force the bosses
to give immediate relief.
