The Daily Worker has already ex-
posed the widespread system of pris-

But Fish is not concerned with that
Fish is only concerned with plot
ting war on the country where the
workers own and run industry, and
to attack the revolutionary workers
in this country so the bosses have
q free hand in their wage-cutttng

Kamiah. Idaho.
Daily Worker:
A man in this region received a
letter from Tennessee saying farmers
there were paying $50 for wheat to
feed while 1t sells for 80 to 10 cents
per bushel here.
Present prices are IS cents but no
buying which makes that prices are
going lower and buyers know It.
Farmers on the street predict that
wheat will sell for 25 cents or less
here soon.

Kentucky workers. Why not write Of

NY SLAVE MARKET

New York City.

New York City.
Editor, Daily Worker:
Walking up and down the slave
market on 9th Avenue for the last
8 months as have, you see all kinds
of people, all workers. Some are
well dressed, but most of them with
old shoes and old clothes, looking
for the Something, a job. Jobs which
do not exist.
Lately you notice and it's because
there's nothing else to do, most of
them gathered on the sidewalk or
at the employment Office six or seven
or more at a time, talking. Talking
why there are no jobs, why we SUI
fer. One of the bunch who is new
ON the market will say it is on &C
count of Hoover in Office, another
says it is a period and soon will be
over, another will say it is the pro-
hibition. Still another will say it
is nothing of the kind and this one
will be of those who have walked
the streets more than 8 months.
There are no jobs and will not
be any because we let those big
fellows rob us of the things we pro-
duce.''
Let all of us join the Reds, they
are the only ones who are fighting
for the overthrow of capitalism
and the establishment of n work
er's government"
In Fighting Mood.
All Of them have no objection, you
find that at most any gathering.
You notice another thing, ex-sol-
diers, patriots, Polaks, Greeks, ETC.,
all those who have been on the slave
market more than 8 months, they
either sell the DAILY, distribute
leaflets, collecting signatures for UNI
employment insurance or are pro-
pagandistS.
"Join the Reds" is all you hear.
Day by day you hear the new-com-
ers who are getting "old" say that
their only salvation is to join up
with the Reds.
So you see even the slave market
is waxing up. r.

 CONSTIPATION?

Countless remedies are advertised for constipation. Many relieve for the moment but they are habit form ing and must be continued. Others contain calomel and dangerous min eral drugs, which remain in the sys- tenn, settle in the joints and cause aches and pains. Some are harsh purgatives which cramp and gripe and leave a depressed after effect. : Avoid lubricating oils which only grease the intestines and encourage natures machinery to become lazy.
 A purely vegetable laxative such as Carter''s Little Liver Pills, gently touches the liver; bile starts to flow, the bowels move gently, the intestines are thoroughly cleansed and constipa- ton poisons pass away.

SHAMANISM

Shamanism (sorcery) resembled children's pastime. The Shaman, sometimes nude, or attred in his best or smeared over in the most fantastic manner, hops around and makes grimaces, howls to the full extent of his power, recalling the name of evil spirits, runs around, and with these excessive motions would reach such a state that with eyes bloodshot, he would drop down insensible from fatigue Some would resort to deceit, in such cases as, for instance: he guessed what he previously saw a person had, or one of his pupils would supply the information. If some demanded something that it was impossible to accomplish, he would decline by deceit or by something wonderful, as for in- stance: he would convince that if he attempted the deed, he would bleed to death. For this purpose they prepared leather pouches filled with blood, which they brought with them. For this con-. dition the fathers and mothers would appoint their children at birth. giving them a female, name and teaching them to an acknoW- ledged shaman. For this reason they were unmarried and had their chins tattooed. It was irn- possible for me to find out about shamanism in detail, as many of the old shamaus had died during the epidemic that visited Kadiak in June, 1904, and others concealed from me. During my stay at Ig- atsk settlement t, one shaman feigned that he lost his speech from fright of his dreams.
 The above mentioned epidemic occurred at the time of our arrival at Kadiak with the arrival of the American-Bostonian vessel Ocean from the California coast, and which had on board some of the Kadiak Americans for hunting sea otters.-Gedeon.

To WAIT FOR
NEW PHONES
Subscribers Too Few as Yet
to Warrant More Modern
Equipment, Company's View

While representatives Of Rock
vile civic organizations came
away from their conference with
telephone company officials, feel
ing encouraged over their chances
of having their telephone system
replaced by a modern one, it is
understood they will not get their
wish for some time.
Too Few Patrons
According to an official Of. the
Chesapeake and Potomac Tele-
phone Company, while. the COM
pany would very much like to do
what its subscribers ask, it is pre-
vented from doing so because Of
the few telephones used.
It is contended that the people
now using the telephones, COM
paratively speaking, are so few as
not to justify any change which
would entail added expense.
Under Consideration
The officials Of the company,
who received the Rockville dele
cation, however, said they would
give th- matter due consideration
and promised to appear at the
next meeting Of the Rockville
Chamber of Commerce to go
further into the matter.

BRIDGE IS READY
EXCEPT FOR
PAVING
Roadway Approach on Virginia
Side Must Be Built Before
Memorial Span Can Open

Arlington Memorial Bridge is
structurally complete, with the
exception of paving. and all that
prevents its use is the unpaved
approach on the Virginia side, &C.
cording to Lieut.. Col. U. S. Grant
Sd, executive and disbursing Off
Ger for the Arlington Memorial
Bridge Commission.
Because of this unfinished
stretch of roadway, approx,
mately one-third of a mile in
length, the structure will not be
opened until early next year,
Colonel Grant said. He added;
ut would be impossible to
throw it open to traffic now.
because there is nothing to
open it to-"
The new structure is designed
to relieve traffic congestion on
the Key and old Highway spans.
The capacity of these spans was
severely tested yesterday. when
thousands of cars from out of
the District poured over them
on their way to the Labor Day
celebration here.
The approach to the bridge o..
the Virginia end is now under
construction. Grading operations
will be completed in about three
weeks. Colonel Grant said, but
as the road is built on a fill"
it will be necessary to wait some
time for settling to take place.
Colonel Grant predicted that
the span would be opened as a
bicentennial feature this winter
or early next spring.
