Dear Comrades:

To All Workers & Organizations!
Dear Comrades:
SUNDAY, JAN. 8, 1883, MARKS THE
NINTH ANNIVERSARY or THE DAILY
WORKER. These we're nine years of
hard struggle in the life of our paper.
During these years, the Daily Worker has
made itself indispensable in the various
struggles of the American working class.
AS the central organ of the Commu-
mist Party, it has rallied the workers for
the support and defense of the Soviet
Union
II has constantly carried on the fight
to mobilize the workers in the struggle for
better living conditions, against wage cuts,
for unemployment insurance and for the
support of the Hunger March.
1t fights against the oppression Of the
foreign-born workers, against deporta-
items, for equal rights Of the Negro mas
ses. and for the freedom Of all class war
prisoDers-Tom Mooney and the Nine
Scottsboro Boys, etc.
This celebration is a great event for
all workers. We ask you to express your
solidarity and support the Daily Worker
by sending Greetings 10 the only Revo-
Iutionary Daily in the English language.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Dec. 49,
A delegation representing the Unem-

peared before Philip Staples, Execu-
tive Secretary Of the County Relief
Board. The spokesman of the unem-
ployed workers, Wood, Bender and
Powell, presented Staples with the de-
mands OF the Unemployed Councils.
Mr.. Staples admitted that the pic
ture OF misery and starvation painted
by the representatives of the Unem-
ployed Councils was true. He re-
fused to attend an open hearing, how
ever, claiming that the facts which
would be presented at such a hearing
would cruelty him." He refused to
endorse federal relief as demanded
by the Unemployed Councils, frankly
stating that he was a capitalist Che

cut all red tape in cases presented to
him by the Unemployed Councils and
that he would see to it that these
cases get immediate relief.
He also promised to take up the
demands of the Unemployed Councils
with the state relief board as well as

HOUSEWRECKERS
STRIKE ON JOBS
Get 20 Cents An Hour
and No Insurance

NEW YORK CTTY.-The house
Wreckers held meeting last week
where they enthusiastically approved
the action Of the Executive Commit
tee for calling strikes on the Monroe
st. job of the Morris Demolition, at
the job at 18th ST. near Fifth Ave,
conducted by the contractors Bazan
and Kamen, and at 6lst ST. near 10th
Ave. of Louis Fornan.
Small Wages
These bosses pay the men any
thing they please for ten-hour day,
They hire experienced housewreckers,
who are already on the point of star
walton together with their wives and
children, and promise them spe-
Gifted sum for the job. The men are
eager to get a little money for their
families. But the boss tricks them.
The contractor takes a job from a
builder at 1900 to wreck the build
ing, the contract specifying that the
workers will be paid at the union
rates. The contractor tells the men
to go ahead for $3.50, instead of Civ
ing them specified wage. Men work.
ing under such conditions are not
protected by insurance, and no one
is responsible if he is hurt on the job.
This way the bosses save many hun
dreds of dollars by not paying insur-
ance, and no wages, and the men
have to work as long as it takes to
finish the job. When the men in this
kind of cooperation" divide up, they
get not over zoe per hour, and 1t is
even known that some have work for
7 cents an hour.
Here are names of men and what
they received for ten-hour day from

Declining Death Rates Cheering News
for Persons Over IS
New York City Figures Show Drops in All Groups

, persons show that progress Is being
made, but the decline for adults Is
still far below the decline for the
younger groups.
For example, the death rate for
children between five and nine Is
now less than half the 1900 r:te for
both boys and girls, while the rate
for adults between 60 and "a has de-
clined approximately eight per cent.
The difference in some Of the older
groups, while still substantial. Is
somewhat less.
One interesting thing to note Is
that death rates for females In New
York are lower in every age classifi-
cation than for men. This Is true of
the group between rs and %. which
was the only one to show an advant-
age for the men In 1920.
After As, the difference between
death rates for men and women be-
comes more pronounced.
These figures. while showing little
not already generally accepted as
truths, show that actual facts bear
witness to progress man has made in
preserving life, and indicate that
further progress may be expected.
Much work, Of course, remains to
be done with the older classificatiol,s
But the work has been started, at
least, and drop in this group SIM
liar to the one already accomplished
in the infant groups would mean
many more years of life for millions
of people.

Disarmament Prospects

AS the world disarmament confer
ence enters its second month 1t is
well for the delegates and the gov
erlments and peoples they represent
to take inventory Of the accomplish.
ments, If any, to date. If ground has
been gained or If the conference has
a shadow Of a chance to gain its
goal, 1t should be evident by now.
While there is no evidence Of at
tempts at sabotage there are political
interests that would like definite de-
cisions postponed to more conven-
lent season, for example, until after
the French parliamentary elections.
On the part Of the American dele
gates there is no show of soldering
or baking. They arc as one with the
British delegation in the position that
the committees should complete their
work before the Easter recess, and
some concrete results should be OBJ
tanned shortly after the recess ends.
The plea Of DR.. Mary Wooley, Of
the American delegation, for contin-
ued support from the people back
home intimates that all is not we'll
over there and that only popular de-
mand for action in the countries con-
cerned can overcome official hest
fancy and obstruction.
Two interpretations may be placed
upon the fact that % main questions
of principle, distributed into Al sub
are before committees and
subcommittee. Either everything
possible is being done to detour the
conference from the main road or
the several nations are making an
honest effort to get together.

Further cheering news for persons
over IS years old may be found In q
recent bulletin of the city Of New
York Department Of Health, which
shows that death rates for 1880 are
lower in every classification than
they were in 1900.
Another fact brought out In the
same bulletin shows that the per-
centage of persons more than s.
years old has increased every 10 years
since 1910. For example In 1900. 2.79
per cent Of the population was over
IS; in 1910, 284 per cent; In 1920, 3.ll
per cent. and in 1890, 3.83 per cent:
From these figures it will be noted
cent Of the total population In 1891,
and 1880 was more than twice as
great as the percentage gain from
1900 to 1920.
To go more deeply into the classi-
fication Of New York's population BY
ages, the chart shows that persons
from IS to "a amounted to 1913 per
cent Of the total population In 1881.
as compared with ATS per cent In
1880.
These figures show more clearly
than ever that science and. medicine
must concern themselves more than
ever with good health for those past

GERMANS TAKE BAPAUME
On March as, 1918, hard-pressed
British troops were forced to evacu-
ate Bapuame, Nesle and Guiscard as
dozens Of fresh German divisions
were thrown into the Nnes in an eff
fort to smash communications be-
tween the British and French armies.
German officials claimed the cap
ture Of more than 5000 prisoners and
much equipment at Bapaume. Ger
man news agencies announced that
the Fifth British Army was COM
pletely demoralized and was being
taken from the front.
Three French divisions were thrown
into a gap between the French and
British lines and held on to their po-
sitions despite massed assaults Of
German shock troops.
Losses in the great battle being
waged in Picardy were running into
many thousands daily.
General Pershing announced that
two regiments of American troops
had taken position on the Picardy
battle front. They were the first
American troops to engage In major
conflict in the World War.

The government schools.


These are a list of real government
business enterprises. all of which
have private competition. Still they
have been functioning well for many
years.
And I believe there are not many
people who would want the govern
ment to get out of these business en-
terprises.
So why should we stop from going
forward when we don't want to 60
backwards. And we all know that we
have not reached perfection. so we
have no reason to stand still.
Just the same, do not believe in
abolishing capitalism, for If we abol-

her 80 that her throat was hidden
and her arms and even her bare
feet. Only her enormous. terrified
eyes seemed visible.
"It's Steven" she heard through
the door.
The knob turned slowly and the
door opened. Steven stepped into
the room. As he entered he was
thinking that Ellen was q child,
that she must bs frightened and
that he must treat her gently.
When hs saw her wrapped in the
rosy robe, her hair . golden
aureols. all his preconceived plans
went down before her beauty.
It seemed to him that he saw
her for the first time and that he
was not IN old man with Z heart
that was an old crock. but. instead.
that this beautiful woman who was
his wife had By some magic made
him young. All that he could r.
member was that she was his wife
and that he had come to claim her
love.
She raised her arms almost 40 II
to fend him Of but the rosy robe
fell away ct tho shoulders 90 that
he saw tho flesh beneath and was
filed with desire. She was In his
arms. Her body arched back in .
spasm Of terror and tho robe slid
away and to the floor as his kisses
fell upon her throat and shoulders.
She was thinking that this. would
kill her and that IL she screamed
no one would hear. This man was
not Steven Barclay at all! He
swung her to his arms and carried
her across the room to the golden
bed. She felt his body pressed
against hers and knew that she
was fainting. She thought she
heard . scream and then . soft
bump just % dark fog seemed to
Ill the room. plotting out the rosy
lights.

Inc hystsrieslly. Then she real.
lied that Steven had fallen to the
door ana that that was the sound
she had heard. She saw him II.
int. white and quiet. beside the
bed. Ellen. frightened ana sick
with horror, lung herself to the
door beside him. calling out his
name again ana again.
He did not answsr.
She thought. "Es 10 my husband
and rye killed him." She knslt
shivefipS b. his side and tried to
feel his pulse ana did not know
whether Or not she felt . auttor.
But whom she laid her hand upon
his heart she was sure she dis

Ellen ran to the telephone and
