DIES OFLUXURY
Tobacco Company Slaves
Exploited While Owners
Wallow In Riches

In the sitting tropical heat OF
midsummer in the "Black Belt,
thousands of Negro and white
workers sweat profusely making
Camel cigarettes in the huge plant
of the Reynolds Tobacco factory.
Their pay is as low as ten cents
an hour; their average wages are
SO a week.
The speed-up is heart breaking.
One man now does the work that
only recently was done by six ma
chine operators and their six girl
helpers. A wide spread spying
system helps the Reynolds keep
their wage slaves encased in steel
bonds. If a worker is caught
smoking a Lucky Strike he is
fired Immediately.
Pellagra, a starvation disease
pure and simple, is rampant among
the workers in the Reynolds fac
tory.
374-ROom Reynolds Castle
Within view of the Reynolds fac
tory is the 374-room castle of the
Reynolds family. The castle cos
$5,000,000. It's fixtures are made
of pure gold. Adjoining the man

These are the measures which
the Hoover government is 10 con-

leadership of the attack on the
veterans have stated that the re-

with the Communists. They are
preparing to use this vicious lie
as a means to smash the bonus
movement and as a means to
smash the Communist party and
all other militant organisations OF
the workers and farmers.

Contract
Bridge
By E. V. Shepard


The subject of bidding two
suffers offers some minor points
open to debate. Nearly all ex-
pertS agree upon the wisdom of
showing a biddable five-card suit
before a four-card suit, regard
less of the rank of those suits.
In case both -"uits are of equal
length you show the higher
value suit first. With the first
hand below bid spades before
clubs. Hand Two requires
hearts to be shown before
spades. Hand Three obligates
bidding hearts before diamonds.
A A-1O.7-5-3 W7&K-J-9.3-2 AK.O
a A-K-Q-5 y A-K-9-5-4 ~ = S-5.3
4 6.3 y A-J-9-6 = K-10-8 = A-Q.6-2
Of course, a bidable minor
suit of seven cards should be
bid before a major suit of five
cards. Being so short in two
suits almost certainly will re.
quire the declarer to ruff. A
suit of only five cards seldom
can stand being strongly forced,
and still pull trumps.
Debatable ground is entered
when the following two-suiter
distributions are held: 6-5,
6-6, or 7-6. AS one added
trick is required for game when
minor suit is bid, many play.
erS advocate first bidding
major five-card suit, and then
showing minor SiX-card suit.
I think, however, that in the
long run that partner will un-
derStand better if we Invariably
follow the rule of first show
ing the longer of two biddable
suits, except in special cases
that will specify later. There
are more cases of two biddable
suits, four cards long and five
cards long than there are of
two biddable suits five cards
long and six cards long. l

rather than Heart.

Many bidders prefer showing
first a siX-card major suit, next
bidding a Seven-card minor suit,
For my partners sake I con.
slider the reverse process is pre-
ferable.
In general I recognize only
one situation where the shorter
higher ranking suit should be
displayed before the longer and
lower ranking suit, and that is
where a forcing bid of three is
employed. The following hand
comes under the letter of the
law requiring an opening bid Of
three to announce a holding
that should SO game, provided
that partner can win one trick,
and that has an even chance
for game in case partner holds
four trumps, including one SerV-
ing as entry to his hand, so
that the fineSSe in declarer'S
other long suit may be at
tempted.
A AA-Q-J-S-S VA-Q-J-6-4-2 80 %S
First bid 3-Spades. If partner
bids 3-No Trump you can then
bid 4-Hearts. If you make an
opening bid of 3-Hearts, you
must bid 4-Spades over partners
3-No Trump. In case your
partner must return you to
hearts, he has to bid 5-Hearts,
which may be one trick too
many. Common sense and al
ways making things easy for
partner are more important
than arbitrary, fixed rules.
