lord wanted to reduce the rent in
March, but the tenants forced him
to reduce it in February. The work

termined to reduce their rents also.

While the attack against the strike
increases, the conditions of the min

Is canned tomatoes and the miners
are unable, because they have no
money, to buy additional food In

given q certain amount OF food to

that or be shot down as If they strike

BY BILL DUNE.

The capitalist press espe-
cially since the devastating ex-
posture of imperialist program
and acts in connection with the
war in the Far East made by
Litvinoff at Geneva, on behalf
of the Soviet Union, feels
called upon to deny angrily
with a wealth of detail that
war on the Soviet Union is i'm
plicit in imperialist policy.
In the last few days prac-
tically the entire American
capitalist press has been harp
ng on this note-from the
staid and respectable New York
Times to such gutter sheets as
the Daily Mirror.
War Plans Exposed.
The fact that the press of
the Soviet Union, Litvinoff's
speech, and the Communist
and revolutionary trade union
press the world over, have ex-
posed the facts that in this
crisis period, when all other
lines of production are declin-
ing, European munition fac
tories are not only working full
time but overtime, is especially
annoying to the enemies of the
working class and the Soviet
Union.

what was obviously intended
TO appear as an impartial"
survey of the war danger, and

nate of the situation as given
I the Beaverbrook paper:
eff you are a resident of
Moscow and pay taxes to
Stain, it is plain that Jap
ans activities, like every
thing else that goes on in the
world, have only one aim
the destruction of the Soviet
Union. If it happens that
France is your pet aversion,
there is no difficulty in
establishing a secret agree
ment between Paris and
Toxic by way of French
financed munition works in
Czecho-Slovakia, now sup
posed to be working over
time on Toxic orders. No
such ALLEGATIONS of response
bility are a help in dealing
with the crisis in the Far
East is not evident. That
they add to the worlds al
ready ample stock of suspi-
cion and hate is unfortunate
ly too clear" (Our en-
phasis.)
The Times also defends the
British government against
what it calls "Moscow's picture
of Japan acting as the agent of
British imperialist policy di-
rected against Chinese indie
pendence in the first place and
ultimately, of course, against
the Soviet Union" Suspicion
and hate" is, of course, loathe-

heroic young victim of the Rockefeller-Mor

more paid homage last night at the Coli

The bosses hated Harry Sinms because
he organized the starving miners of Ken

cause wherever he went he spread the news
Of the workers struggles.
For Harry Simms was. the most valu-
able link the Daily Worker had with the
miners of Kentucky and Tennessee. Harry
Slmms knew we'll the important role of the
/ Daily Worker, and worked hard every day
to get the Daily Worker into the hands of
every worker he could reach. For this, be-
cause the bosses hate and fear the truth,
and for his organizing, because the bosses
fear the united efforts of the workers,
Harry Simms was murdered by the Bosses
Workers, young and DID, will carry on
the work for which Harry Simms has died.

GLORIFYlNG
 YOURSELF
By Alicia Hart
@I9sz eY NEA SeRVIcE INc:

Spring may be in your heart, but if your feet aren't comfortable you just can't wear the smile you should.
 Warm weather brings out the flowers and the birds, to be sure, but it bring havoc to feet that aren't fitted right and have not received good care.
 Being good to your feet is a lot like casting your bread upon the water, It is yoursel who benefits.
 If your feet perspire, give them the benefit of salt baths, cold rins- es and massage. Give them the following treatment: . 1. Go barefooted whenever you can-on the sands, around your room, in the garden, if you really have courage.
 2. Wriggle your toes whenever you think of it-riding in the car, sitting, reading. working at your desk. This wriggling is exersicse. Exercise stimulates circulation. It is bad circulation that has a' lot to do with sweating.
 3. Change your stocking every single day-a direction most of you won't need at all but one every woman should pin her faith to. Cts easier on your stockings as we'll as your feet to be washed after one wearing. even if it's only for an hour.9
 4. Change your shoes every day. If you haven't two pairs that you can alternate for work, at least change your shoes the minute you get home in the evening. even if your only have bedroom slippers to put on. Take of your stockings and go baefooted evenings, if you can manage it at hame. Parties are another thing again. This is for quiet home wear.
 5. Give your feet some sunshine. Lamps are fine for those who never see the real article. Even giving your feet Sunday bath of sun- shine helps.
 These are little things. But the littlest ache Tn your feet etches yis- Itle line in your face. For beauty, $ sake, as we'll as comforts, give tyour feet the break.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-04-26

mouth an extra coating of lip salve. and looked up.
 Maybe you haven't got s. Az, she murmured thoughtfully. You seem real cute looking to me but maybe that's it. Ever try purple eyeshadow ?" She proffered the pencil she was now employing on her upper lids.
 Susan drew back and then, anx- ious not to wound the sensitive Miss Flannery again, said with a regret she did not feel, Wish I could but my aunt's terribly strickland old fashioned. She wouldn't stand for it."
 Ray sniffed. You poor kidi Well. I guess maybe you'd better stay the way you are as long as you work for old Sourbones Heath. He's a fussbudget, hear. Looks atrTne as if I was dirt when I meet him in the elevator. He's a Yale man, my boss says" Ray shook her head as if that accounted for Ernest Heath's strange ways.
 ''Is he?" asked Susan rather eagerly. T didn't know that"
 You're queer one" Ray Elan nery remarked, raising her plucked eyebrows. "Why don't you pump Pierson? He'll give you the dirt.''
 Pump him ?" Susan went scar let and then smiled. It was no use trying to explain herself to this girl. Already Ray was rambling on
 You won't need to do any pump ing when Jack Waring gets back to town. He's good number. Hell put you wise."
 Jack Waring?" Susan was puz- zled.
 Rays lips curled into an insinu- ating sort of smile. "Ye-e-es, Jack Waring," she mocked. "Heath's as- sistant. Don't say I didn't warn you!" The two girls had reached the elevator now and wedged tight ly into the crowded car. Ray would say no more.
 The following day Susan was ini- tiated into the mysteries of copy ing freshly typed letter concern ing an important building estimate into the old-fashioned book which MT Heath insisted on keeping, not entirely trusting to modern files. The quiet, rather sulky Pierson showed her how it was done. The cloth must be wrung out just so, the transparent sheet adjusted, the letter slipped into place and blot ting papers carefully placed behind it. Then the whole book was swung into the press and an iron screw squeezed down.
 The day was to come when Susan could follow this process in her sleep. so like more child's play it was to become to her, but during this first bewildering and troubled week it seemed a Gargantuan labor. Further. she was rendeTed horribly nervous by the warnings and hints dropped by the lugubrious Pierson.
 ''The boss is mighty. particular about this,' he told her heavily.
