TAKERS EXPEL 3
UPHOLSTERY MEN
Call Meet Friday to
Continue Fight,

NEW YORK.--On wednesday, Feb
ruary 18th, the labor takers of the
Upholsterers' Union, Local rs, put
over another betrayal against the
workers of the upholstering trade.
The takers through the means of
yangsterism expelled three active
and militant members of the union.
They are Kramer, Pustayand Bor-
odkin. The official charges against
these workers we're that they be-
longed to the T. U. U. L. Therefore,
they cannot belong to the A. F. of
L. union.
The right wing clique put over this
piece of dirty work. The reason why
they did it is because the workers
began to follow the left wing speak
ers at the meeting. The three ex-
PEELED members we're among those
who fought against the union lead
ership when they presented the bosses
with 10 per cent wage cut. These
three members constantly exposed the
nisleadership, corruption and the
sell-out of the last strike, when they
lost the majority of the shops. These
three workers were the ones who de-
mandeds d rank and file strike, conf
mittse and mass picketing in thealast
strike, which would have brought the
strike to a victorious end. s 80
But the clique did not expel these
three workers from the ranks of the
working class and the labor move
ment. With this expulsion the lead
ers of Local 70 disaffiliated them
selves from the large mass of workers
in the trade. This local is still exist
ing on the few thousand dollars in
the local treasury, which will b.
sauandered by the bureaucrats in .
short while.
The workers have long since los
faith in Local rs and the Upholster-
ers International Only few year
ago this local had about 1400 to 1900
members, today there are only abou
$50 left. The blame Of the downfall
Of this union falls entirely upon the
heads of the reactionary and corrup'
leadership, who are not in the leas
concerned about the interests Of the
77orkers, but are pacifying and talking
nto the workers not to fight against
wage cuts or for union conditions in
the shops.

League of hte T. U. U. L. will con-
tinue with the fight against the
bosses and their agents, the A. F. of

Company Thugs
Attack Striking
Milk Drivers

NEW YORK .-Company hired
thugs yesterday attacked and bru-
tally beat up several of the striking
milk wagon drivers of the Mckay
Milk Co, of Brooklyn. The strikers
we're held up at the point of guns,
while the thugs slapped and beat
them up.
Following the attack on the strik-
ers, officials of Local 584 of the Milk
Wagon Drivers Union of the A. F.
Of L., who entered the situation after
the men, previously organized, had
walked out in protest against poll
icy Of mass firing, attempted to de-
ceive the strikers on the role of the
police agents of the bosses, telling
them that they had been in touch
with the local police and had re-
ceived promises of protection"
against the hired thugs of the bosses.
Earlier in the day, the A. F. of L.
union officials had a conference with
Mr.. Mckay of the Mckay Milk Co.,
but the latter refused to come to
terms on the demands of the strik-
ers, which the A. F. of L. takers had
pared down to recognition of the
union, deliberately emitting any de-
mand for reinstatement of those who
were fired few days before the
walkout. They also omit any de-
mand against discrimination on the
part Of the bosses against the most
militant of the strikers.

Frank Lsmby. former Business
Agent Of Local 1870, Paper Boz Max
ers Union. affiliated to the Amer
lean Federation of Labor. was drop
ped by the rank and file Of that
organization because of his activity
as an agent OF the paper box bosses
to force rotten conditions and crooked
deals upon the workers, and is now
resorting to his old tricks Of seiI-out
among the membership Of the Rig
ging and Safe Moving Union.
Exposed as q faker by the rank
and and file membership Of the
Paper BOX Makers Union in 1928,
and forced to get out of that or
gA1iSation, Lan1by succeeded q short
time ago in having himself elected
Business Agent of the Rigging and
Safe Moving Union. Immediately
upon getting into office. Lamby Sue
ceeded in proving to the bosses that,
for a certain financial consideration,
he is read to take their orders and
give them full cooperation in pre-
venting the ringers and chauffeurs
from striking for higher wages and
better conditions, as well as forcing
rotten conditions upon them.
The ringers and chsuffeurs are
subject to all OF the speed-up and
miserable conditions that are i'm
posed upon them by the bosses and
their agent, Lanby AS result, the
riggers and chauffeurs were COM
pelled to work from 10 to IA hours
per day for wages as low as S. per
day.
On Jan. 18. at local union meet
ing, the riggers and chauffeurs de-
cided upon strike as the only neces-
sary means of struggle for decent
living conditions as we'll as for the
establishment of the 8-hour day and
$40 wage scale for the ringers and
SIS for the helpers.
The solidarity and fighting spirit
Of the rank and file membership was
so fine that the bosses we're soon
forced to submit to the demands of
the workers, and for short time
the ,iogers and cheuffeurs enjoyed
better working conditions and wages.
The rigging and trucking bosses soon
began to fear The workers fighting
spirit, and, on Feb. 10, due to the
close work between Lamby and the
bosses. a lockout was declared against
the members of the union In the
preparation and carrying out of this
lockout, Lar1lby gave his advice and
help to the bosses. The answer Of
the riggers and chauffeurs to this
lockout and betrayal by Frank Lamby
was the answer of all militant work
ers. That answer was STRIKE.

MEMBERSHIP EXPELS TRAITOR

Exposed AS Faker In Paper Box Makers Union
In 1923, Tries His Shrinking Game
On Riggers Union

Union were then invited to con-
ference Of the bosses association. AT
this conference, Lamby, together with
the bosses, distributed the necessary
amount of liquor to Supply the Ex-
ecutive Committee Of the union into
signing an agreement drawn up by
the bosses, with the cooperation OF
LaTnby.
This fake agreement actually forces
the membership of the Rigging and
Safe Moving Union TO resume work
under the same conditions; namely,
long hours, speed-up, wage-cuts. etc,
as previous TO the strike. The mem
bership Of the union certainly does
not approve Of this kind Of trickery;
on the contrary. they are strongly
opposed to the agreement, which
forced the very things they fought
against upon them once again, and
with the proper leadership, they are
ready to fight again. tirelessly
against the Lamby sell-out to wipe
it out once for all
The readiness of the ringers and
chauffeurs to fight against the
Larnhy agreement expressed itself in
the form Of motion to expel Lamby
from the union. This motion was
made at the last meeting of the
union, which was held on Monday at
Astoria Hall.
Lamby and his henchmen sue
ceeded in terrorizing the member
ship into replacing the motion for
his expulsion with a motion for the
election Of new executive commit
tee. This election is scheduled to
take place at the next meeting of
the union. which will be held next
Friday. March s.
Larnby and his henchmen are pre-
pairing to force their election to the
new executive conr,ittee. The men,
bprship Of the union. however. will
give the proper answer to Lamby and
his narrow circle of supporters.
I,amby and his agents are spread
ing the usual red scare" in order to
cover UP their own betrayaIs of the
interests Of union membership. The
riggers and chauffeurs now Under
stand that only the Transport Work
ers' Industrial League, affiliated to
the Trade Union Unity League. Is
w. 2ist ST.. can and will give the
necessary guidance and leadership to

struggles against the bosses and
their agents as we'll as for better
conditions and higher wages.

AFL HAS Is FOOD
STRIKERS JAILED
Agent Of Local 1888
Points Them Out

NEW YORK.-The A. F. Of L. had
rs food workers arrested in the strike
against the Kaufman stores, 18sth
st. and st. Nicholas, 184th st. and
st. Nicholas and 178th st. and
Broadway. Arrests took place at the
Broadway store.
The clerks in these stores used to
belong to the A. F. of L. Local Of
the Fruit Clerks, the organization
whose officials sold out the star
Market workers.
Finding that the A. r. Of l.. would
do nothing for them, they joined the
Food Workers Industrial Union
about weeks ago, and on Feb. 90
made demands for union conditions
instead Of the unlimited hours of
work at low wages they were putting
i'll.
They struck 100 per cent. Then
Local 1898 of the Grocery and Dairy
Clerks Union of the United Hebrew
Trades and the A. F. of L. proceeded
to make deal with the employer
for long hours and bad conditions,
and, although they did not have a
single member in the three stores at
the. time Of the strike, put a Union
House" card in the windo wand sent
scabs. ---------------------
The result was militant picketing
by the strikers, and two days ago
the A. F. of L. served the blanket
injunction they have to use against
strikers in any strike where they
have made deal with the employer.
Business Agent As Cop.
The first injunction was denied,
but now, judging by the sudden mass
arrests, the thing has been creased
through and is granted.

Babies should be given longer sun baths at this time of year than in spring and summer, the U. s. Children's Bureau says in state ment issued yesterday advising mothers to continue sun baths for their babies and young children during the fall and winter. At the same time, the daily feeding of od-liver oil, or bottled sunshine" is also urged. During the winter months babies need both sun baths and cod-liver oil in order to pre- vent rickets and to enable their bones to develop normally.
 A revised folder, Sunlight for Babies" giving full directions for sun baths and daily doses of cod liver oil. has just been published by the bureau and is now ready for mothers.
 The reason that longer sun baths are needed at this time of year, the bureau points out, is that the ultraviolet rays are weak in fall and winter. A winter baby can not get enough sunshine un- less he lives in the most southern and sunny parts of the country, so he especially needs cod-liver oil. Warning is given that artificially- fed babies are more likely to de- velop rickets than breast-fed ba- bies, but even natural feeding does not prevent the disease and there fore all babies need both sunshine and cod-liver oil.
 "A baby may have rickets long before his mother notices anything wrong with him. Long before his legs become badly bowed or be- fore other deformities of the bones appear, the disease may have be- gun to develop. Plenty of sun light and cod-liver oil at this early stage will save the baby from de- veloping severe rickets and from such results as bone deformities and poor teeth.
 "If child's chest bones are greatly deformed by rickets, this deformity may prevent his lungs from expanding properly and he may be more subject to lung in- fections such as bronchitis and pneumonia. Besides, a child who has rickets is not able to throw off infections as a normal child does. Thus. although rickets itself does not cause death, it may have complications that do. A severe

You go and lie down and I'll give him his medicine" Tommy's fa- ther is too likely to say, What Bronchitic! We'll, you let him play out too long," or You'd better put more bedclothes on him at night. Just watch him a little closer"
 Anything to show her that she is not taking proper care of his boy.
 An extremely cruel case of this shifting responsibility was illus strated in the case of the child whose parents were told that an operation would be necessary 10 save the boys life. The father re- fused to say either yes or no. You'll have to decide" he said to his wife.
 She di dthe only thing she could do d gave her consent. When the boy died her husband took the attitude that it was her mistake.
 This is why I think that the scales on the woman's side show greater poundage than that of the man. Business is worrying and depressing, but it is not directly concernt as a rule with immedi- ate and personal responsibility of life and health. True the father has his own worries, the pressure of supplying shelter and food, but the aggregate pressure of the years is harder on the mother than on the father, unless he is one of those unusual men who say. "You always do the best thing. If Tom my's sick we'll fight it together"

 The girl cheered slightly, but the afternon hours dragged. A few minutes before five o'clock Bob arrived. Norma put on coat and hat and they left the office.

 "Who?"

 The idea appealed to the child. Perhaps the fact that Nancy saw to it that the house was kept as quiet as possible for short time after loans door was closed had something to do with the celerity with which Joan dropped off to sleep. At any rate the scheme worked.

NANCY PAGE Nancy Makes Joan Queen of Her Bedroom
 --~.--->
By Florence Ia Ganke

When Joan was a little tot she had gone to bed without murmtir. Guests used to comment upon the docile way in which she went up- stairs at night. But those days were past. Now she wanted to hear everything, see everybody. Since Nancy and Peter were not going out much these days friends kept dropping in during the even- ings. Every one was a fresh temp tation to Joan. When Nancy put her to bed and told her to go to sleep Joan did anything else but that.
 First she called down for drink of water. Then she wanted a hand kerchief. Then she heard noise and that had to be investigated. Nancy was at her wits end.
 Finally she decided she had cod dled her long enough. She talked with Joan first and explained the new regime.
 When I put you to bed I'll place a glass of water on your bedside table. We'll tuck a handkerchief in your pocket. We'll fix the win dow shade so it does not flap and bother you
