MAY MOVE CAMP

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-Hope is still high among the 1000 bonus seeking veterans camped at Johns- town, Pennsylvania, that they may move to a permanent camp near Waterbury, Connecticut, on a site bought for $1.

NO SUSPENSION OF ALASKA R. R.
 IS CONSIDERED
Wilbur Refutes Rumors that Road Would Be Shut
 Down Next Winter

The Interior Department has no iYthntion of suspending operations on the Alaska Railroad next win ter, declared Ernest Walker Saw yer, assistant to the manager oi that route, who conferred with i Gov Parks here today enroute to Seward and Anchorage and in- tei1or points. He will spend sev- eral weeks in the Territory.
 MT. Sawyer conferred with Sec retary Wilbur of the Department in Los Angeles last week and brought to his attention rumors th&t it's road would be shut down during the coming winter. ''Dr Wilbur directed me to say to AL askans that he had nothing of the kind in mind,' said MT. Saw yer.
 Change in Attitude
 There has been significant cits nge in the attitude of the gen. eral public in California in the past IS days, and where pessimism oyer future conditions gripped the rIople up to mid-July, now spir t of wholesome optimism pre- va,ls," MT. Sawyer declared Lead CTS in Los Angeles and San Fran cisco are certain that good times are on the way back, that they will come rapidly, and that Califor- mia will point the way to the rest of the nation,' he added.
 The change in viewpoint has heep startling to him. Up tt July Is, nobody could see any i'm n coiate promise of improvement in conditions. The coming of tht Olympic Games left the public apathetic, and business men in Los Angeles were gloomy about the fi- naLcial outlook for the Olympiad many openly declaring they woule be flop" About the middle O. July, however, there was a switch The town began to fill up witt visitors and several days before tn orening date for the games, ho tels and apartment houses wer filled to capacity.
 Shrine Revives Frisco The Shriners' convention dit the same thing for San Francisco Mr. Sawyer declared. They invad ei the city in strong force an' ! completely revived the attitud there. Instead of being failur as had been predicted, the can ver tion was highly successful. California optimism is not con fined to it's two largest cities, h. added. It has spread throughou the State and business and finan cial leaders expect it to reac1 clear across the nation. Bushes men and financiers are investing heavily in conservative securities both stocks and bonGs and beliey the market has definitely starte' its upward climb, according to MI | Sawyer.
 Cover Rail Belt
 MT. Sawyer will visit the entir rail belt. He will spend a day O two at Seward then go over tn road to Anchorage, visiting inter mediate points to Fairbanks wher he will spend sometime.
 He probably will meet Gov. P.cks there and return with hir and Acting Chief Engineer Ike : Taylor of the Alaska Road Com 7 mission via Richardson Highwa : to the coast and back to Junea l during the first week in Septem Der.

Chats with Our
WOrcOrrs

Because OF increased unemploy-
ment and low wage standards, many
workers throughout TIL country are
forced to go to public hospitals and
charity institutions for treatment of
illness. The jails are crowded with
prisoners, railroaded by the author
tiles to get rid of them.
Letters from workers all over the
country are coming in increasing
numbers, exposing the miserable
treatment received in jails where they
were thrown for the crime of de-
nanding their right to live, and in
the hospitals where they are helpless
to battle against the callous brutality.
These institutions are maintained
by the capitalists in order to raise
in the workers the illusion that the
capitalist system is humanitarian
The worker correspondents are tear
ing off this mask, when they expose
the conditions from inside.
But Just to write to the Daily
Worker is not enough. Workers must
do everything possible to strengthen
the working class mutual aid organ
ization, the International Workers Or
der, which provides medical treat
ment for workers. The jailed work.
ers must follow the example of the
Baltimore prisoners and by combined
effort, gain some improvement while
inside, and strengthen the Unemploy-
ed Councils when they get out.
Particularly should they become ac-
tive in the preparation for the ma
tional hunger march on Washington

YWCA EXPLOITS
WOMEN WORKERS
Forced Labor for
Free" Rooms

NEW YORK.--T1le YWCA Is sup
posed to be a charitable place, where
working women and girls come for
aid. The US are tax exempt as char
ity organizations; yet they charge IS
to So doom with two meals. The
meals probably cost less than ten
cents together.
The showers and toilets are not
kept any too clean. There are or
women and two men to do all the
work and it is too much for them
to handle.
Forced Labor
On the doors of the rooms are the
names of rich people who have
bought" the rooms for SO years or
so. This is supposed to mean that
any unemployed working woman can
live there. But can one? No! If
you cannot pay your bill for two
weeks, you are given" a job as maid.
This job rarely lasts, as not every
girl can do the type of work required.
Then no one knows what happens
to girl when she is evicted.
II a girl is desperate enough from
fear Of renewed suffering, one of the
officials, degenerate, may cast her
favor upon her. This woman is
known to the donors of the place,
but still they let her remain in con-
tact with many young inexperienced
girls.
Where does the money go that
these people collect? Certainly the
Y is self-supporting. 1t must go to
graft; to the heads who rarely look
like they are ill-fed or sick.
Demand Better Conditions
So long as we girls permit these
people to get away with it, just so
long will they do it. If we fight to-
gether and elect committees to de-
mand better conditions In these
places, we will win them.
Ed. Note.--Girls who are living in
the US and similar institutions,
should communicate with the near
est Unemployed Council, or 10 e. 18th
ST., New York City. The council
will gladly assist them in planning
to get better conditions from the
grating officials.

FORD ENDS TOUR
HALLS RED GAINS
IN ELECTIONS
C. P. Made Struggle
For Negro Rights
Big Issue

NEW YORK.-James w. Ford,
first Negro candidate for Vice resi-
dent, Of the U. S. A, returning to
New York at the end of a strenuous
campaign tour, expressed the opinion
that "the elections this year marked
a glaat step forward in the struggle
for Negro liberation" He declared:
although it is still to early to
know the complete results, it is GER
tain that the Negro and white can
didates of the Communist Party
polled a vote that is a tremendous
increase over the votes of our Party
in the last four years.
"The Negro candidates of the
Party, of whom three were many,
polled many votes. William L. Pat
terson, running for mayor of New
York, got 24,222 votes. Henry Shop
ard, Communist candidate for Lieu
tenant-Governor Of New York State,
got 1881 votes in New York City.
For the first time in the history
of the country, a Negro candidate
appeared on q national ticket. Foster
and Ford were on the ballot in 38
states, many of them in the heart of
the South. Communist meetings in
the South smashed through Jim
Grow laws and customs.
Hundreds of thousands of Negroes
broke away from their traditional al
legiance to the Republican Party.
Many of them were-for the time
being-fooled ny the fake promises
Of the Democrats and Socialists. But
many thousands voted for the Com
munist Party, which boldly raised
the demands: Equal rights for Ne
groes, self-determination for the
Black Belt.
1.-THE Communist Party has shown
that not only during the election per-
iods, but every month in the year,
every hour in the day, it fights for
complete economic, political and So
cial equality, and for the right of self
determination for the Black Belt.
The struggle of the Communists for
equal rights for Negroes goes on
ceaselessly. The coming winter will
see the Communists and their SYM
pathizers increase their activity on
all fronts of this struggle"

Significant admissions on the de-
veloping war situation arising out of
the drive of the imperialist toward
war as a capitalist way out" of the
crisis Cat the expense of the toiling
masses and the Soviet Union) were
made in capitalist circles yesterday.
Private Speculation on War
Reporting Washington official OPP
inion, Paul Mallon, Washington cor
respondent of the Newark Ledger,
writes his paper:
ut is no exaggeration to say there
may be war in Europe before spring.
"Our officials do not want to talk
about such thing in public. They
are all specializing on it in private"
General Macarthur, U. S. Chief of
Staff, who personally commanded the
army in the murderous attack, or
dered by Hoover, on the Bonus
March and their families, is now in
Europe. The Czech bourgeois press
has not hesitated to report thta he is
in Europe of organizing the i'm
perialist war of intervention against
the Soviet Union.
Professor Andre Phillip o fthe Uni

mitted that the peoples of the world
are on the brink of new imperialist
world slaughter.

Jules, Sauerwein, foreign editor of

Princeton School of Public and In
ternational Affairs, declared that "if
new war breaks out in Europe, the
United States could no more keep out

'the consequences of the world wide
economic breakdown" Of capitalism.

BRITAIN COMMITS ECONOMIC
SUICIDE

Forced by political considerations
the threat of the Dorninions break
ing away from the Empire and the
Die Hard Tories violent hatred of
the Soviet Union--great Britain has
abrogated the Soviet British trade
agreement. The paralyzing effect
this will have on British industry is
illustrated by the following figures
of British machinery exports in 1881.
The Soviet Union was Britain's
largest customer for the following
British exports: 88 per cent of its
tungsten steel, 70 per cent Of its
threshing machines, 81 per cent OF
its compressors, "a per cent of its
internal combustion engines, 81 per
cent of its lathes, 80 per cent Of its
flour milling equipment, 81 per cent
of its molding equipment, 10 per cent
of its steam engines, "a per cent OF
its drilling equipment and rs per
cent Of its grinders, 40 per cent of
its total generator exports, and SO
forth. The list can be continued in
definitely. The National government
has dealt a death blow to Britain's
entire steel and machinery industry,
cutting off its nose to spite its face.
MaeT' maid may compliment himself
on l. llng thrown tens of thousands
OF the highest skilled workers i'm
Great Britain out of work. This is
how Macdonald and Co. are solving
the British unemployment problem.
