Terror of the
Bosses!

NEW YORK.-Governor Ritcllie
the proud democratic governor Of
Maryland, where lynch terror againsi
the Negro workers Is openly fostered
by the state government, will speak
in New York on Saturday at p. m
at the National Republican Clut', 81
w. 40th st.
This de1nagogic seoundre1, who par
AIDES under the mask of hberalisth, is
the man who refused to afford pro-
lection to two accused Negro work
ers, and ven threatened the lawyer
of the International Labor Defense,
which is defending the accused Negro
workers. @
Lynch terror Is the method of the
bosses, who believe that the Negro
masses will continue to accept the
conditions Of misery in this country
that the bosses are imposing on them.
Yesterday two more Negro workers
in another democratic" state. Vi-s
ginia, we're iynched. This is the an
swer of the bosses and their govern
ment to the rising fnilitancy of the
Negro workers and the growing unity
of the white and Negro workers, as
expressed in wonderful form in the
Hunger March to Washington, and
the splendid support that the march
received on all sides from both Negro
and white workers all along the
route.
The Communist Party condemns In
emphatic manner this beastly lyEch
terror of the bosses. 1t condemns
the hypocritical, cynical attitude of
this liberal Ritchie,, who poses as D
pToH1 essive-and is a candidate for
nomination for the presidency on
the democratic tieket-a fit role for
the party of which he is a member.

SHOP STRIKERS
A,F.L. Lawyer Calls In
Big Police Force

NEW YORK.-Swauns of police,
badly outnumbering the committee of
the strikers led by the Butcher Work
ers Section of the Food Workers In
dustrial Union, came down on mass
meeting which was just starting yes
terday at 40th st. and 18th Ave,
Brooklyn and beat the strikers vi
ciotisly. The strikers were not pre-
pared for this attack.
The meeting was first visited by
the A. F. t. lawyer, who tried to stop
the speaker by flourishing the injunc-
ton against picketing which the
bosses association got out.
The shops involved were once
signed UP with the F. w. I. U. The
A. F. L. union came in and offered
the boss a contract at worse condi-
tions for the workers and agreed to
furnish scabs.
The shops are at 1913 Thirteenth
Ave, 4002 Thirteenth Ave, and 2259
Highty-sixth Stall in Brooklyn.

kayser Workers
In 31P.C. Wage Cut
UTW Sell-Out Turns
Workers to National

On Monday, December 7, $50 knit
ters of full fashioned hosiery of the
Julius Kayser Co. of Brooklyn, got
a cut of 81 percent in their already
low wages. This is the practical re-
suit of Mysticism in the hosiery in
duStry. -
In September the American Fedora
tion of Full Fashioned Hosiery Work
ers, subsidiary of the scabby United
Textile Workers Union, accepted an
agreement with the Manufacturers
Association providing for cut of Is
IS percent in the wages OF the knit
tiers, who have been among Americas
highest paid workers. Despite the
fact that the members of the union
voted overwhelmingly to reject this
murderous agreement, and 5000 struck
against it, the union forced the cut
down their Threats.
This union is under the control Of
the Musteites, who gave as an ex-
cuse for the cut, that competition be-
tween union and nen-unioi1 mills
would grow keener after such a cut,
and would force the nom union knit
tiers out on strike and into the Fed
Grafton.
The Kayser knitters kayoed this
theory on Monday. They were forced
into accepting the cut by a threat
of the company to shut down the
plant. But this cut brings their
wages down to $40, along with lay
offs, shutting down Of the fifth floor,
and terrific speed up. A leaflet of
the National Textile workers Union
to the kr1itters, and the girl toppers
who received a 20 percent cut, was
received with much enthusiasm Steps
are being taken to organize a com
mittee in this department, as well
as in other sections of the plant, and
workers are being recruited for the
union In the fight against this and
coming wage-cuts. In its leaflet the
N. T. w. exposed the treacherous
role of the Federation, and warned
the workers against the leaders Of
this scab outfit.

AT the executive council meeting of
the Industrial Union, held on Nom
day, committee of five strikers from

ership and expressing their readiness
to join the Industrial Union. These

ity TO the workers and decided to send
organizers to Paterson and all other
centers where the Manhattan Shirt
co. has branches, carry on cam

other workers and lead the struggle
against the Manhattan Shirt Co. to
victory.

strikers, refusing to return to work.

| trails and he guessed right away that
Midget's home was close by. He looked
for q hole in the sand, but no hole
could he find. Under small bush was
what appeared like a very low mound
and on the edge of this Farmer Browns
Boy noticed q tiny heap OF sand as II
1t had been thrown out by some one
digging hole. He looked more closely
and saw what looked as If 1t might be
doorway filled with sand. With a
small stick he pushed away the sand
and found that he was right. 1t was the
opening to a small tunnel. Even while
he was looking at it some grains OF
sand came out almost in his face, Tor he
had his face very close to the hole try
ing to look in.
Then Farmer Browns Boy began TO
chuckle. IT do believe" said he, that
the door is actually being closed in my
face"
It was Midget, for this was Midget's
home; he was closing that doorway
with sand just as fast as he could. He
was making his little feet fairly ny as
he kicked sand into place. Farmer
Browns Boy waited until the doorway
was quite filled with sand. Then he
removed It as before, and as before
Midget Immediately began to kick sand
to close the door. Presently Farmer
Browns Boy found another closed door
and opened this with precisely the same
result. It was perfectly clear that Mid
get wanted no visitors and didn't mean
to have any If he could help himself
WELL" said Farmer Browns Boy
for a little fellow you are smart. I
imagine that an open doorway
wouldn't be the safest thing around
here. I don't know who your enemies
are, but an open doorway would be an
invitation to walk in or dig in. A
closed door isn't likely to be noticed.
And you are right on the job to close
it as fast as 1t is opened. You and 1
must become acquainted. Yes, sir, we
must so. I guess I'll have to come
around here after jolly round hot Mr..
Sun goes to bed. 1t Is evident that you
are far too sensible TO come out In the
heat of the day"
So Farmer Browns Boy didn't bother
Midget any more then, but started
back for the ranch.

While It Il the business Of the tiny
sweat glands all over the body to
excrete water and waste matter-in
other words, o certain amount Of
sweating Is normal and indicative OF
good health-yet there are many who
are troubled with excessive perspiration.
Naturally, their troubles are accentu-
will discuss this problem early in the
hope of making the coming Summer q
more pleasant one.
It is hardly necessary to say that O
daily change of underwear and stock
ings and o daily bath with soap and
warm water are absolutely essential to
daintiness, particularly during the Sum-
mer months. After the bath, the body
may be rubbed with common table salt,
then rinsed In cool water and dried
thoroughly. Those whose health is
vigorous will find that q cold shower
every morning followed by brisk rub
down with salt not only acts as q Splen-
did stimulant to the entire body, but
also does much toward preventing ex-
cesSive perspiration.
It is especially dificult to keep the
armpitS dainty. They may be kept
sweet, however, by daily bathing In salt
water and using an astringent toilet
water. OF course. 1t is essential that

hold perspiration doors, and it Is hardly
possible to have underarm daintiness
unless these surfaces are kept smooth
and clean. There are many reliable
depilatories for this purpose.
After washing the armpits both night
and morning with salt water, the follow
ing lotion may be applied and left to
dry on the skin: three ounces alcohol,
one dram tannic acid, two ounces
cologne water, three ounces witch hazel.
Apply with clean piece Of absorbent
cotton After the lotion has dried, dust
with q little powder containing boric
acid.
Sometimes there Is excessive perspira-
ton on the palms Of the hands, the
soleS of the feet, the scalp, forehead and
upper lip. While a certain amount of
sweating over the entire body L. normal,
profuse sweating OF special surfaces Of
the skin Is not normal. Cases of this
sort may be relieved by the application
Of astringent lotions and powder, but for
real cure it Is necessary to get at the
cause. Nervousness is a frequent cause
and q general rundown condition Of
health Is another. In such cases, 1t Is
best to see q physician and have q
thorough examination. for the excessive
