There is no reason why some medium
should not be discovered OH which We
could grow the vaccine on nutritive
medium, outside the animal body.
After all, we are growing bacteria on
artificial media and since the vaccine
virus is alive, it should also be adapt
able to such cultivation. The fact
that we have not been able to grow
the vaccine virus on an artificial
medium until now, is no reason for
doubling such a possibility In the
future. As an example, we may men
ton the fact that when the lepra
bacillus, which causes leprosy, when
first discovered, it was thought for
many years that it. could not be
grown on artificial mediums; the
same may be said Of the spirocheta
pallida which causes syphilis. Both
organisms are now grown artif1cially,
in the incubator.

only code or representative of the
I. l.. A. from Hampton Roads.
Though they have spent thousands
OF dollars for representation this was
the first time the coal trinmers have
ever been represented outside Hamp-
ton Roads.
Now Millner knew that Friday
would be too late to present the
code, but he and the other delegates
left Thursday night for Washington.
One of the delegates by the name of
Jimmy Jones from the same local as
Nicholls-1221--who fell in Millner's
net, wired back to his local the fol-
lowing Monday for information
whether he stay on in Washington
or return back. Local 1921 held q
meeting and sent him the answer
telling him that if he can pay his
own expense he may stay as long as
he liked.
Refuse to Pay Tax
They ousted him as timekeepet
bought a brand new shovel and
tagged it with his name, and set il
neatly in corner to wait his re-
turn. Millner then sent word back
to the men saying he didn't know
whether he could do them any good
up in Washington or not. '"That fel-
low Nichols has raised hell UP here,
said Millner. az may have to stay
TIL Dec. /; tax every man so cents
a week until come back" was his
demand, but Local 1921 sent him ex-
acCly nothing.
Then Millner sent word to fire jeff
Nichols. But instead of Local 1921
firing jeff Nichols they chose tt
support the fight of the locked out
men of 978 to fire Millner.
The M. w. I. U. has been with the
rank and file through all the strug.
gle, and is still with it. 1t has pointed

brutal, vicious system under which
we work. One of the bitterest
grievances was the soliciting of
greetings and holiday messages for
which the messengers canvassed. We
we're paid &C. for every message we
succeeded in getting. If we canvassed
for four hours and only got two firms
to give us greeting messages we re-
ceived only 10 cents.-This is for
four hours of work.
In many places we got mean and
cruel treatment by business firms
and people who didn't want to be
annoyed by messengers who were
canvassing. Many times we were
kicked out of offices and not gently
either. All of the messengers hated
this work but because of the beg
carly salaries we're getting We had
to try to increase it by canvaSsing
Soon after letters appeared in
the Daily Worker from us boys, the
company put through rule to pay
the messengers 20 cents an hour
for this work. This means that
whether or not we succeed in get
ting any greetings We get 8 guar
antee of 20 cents an hour.
Company Tries to Evade Rule.
However, IN order to have this
ruling actually put into effect, we
messengers will have to put up
real struggle. In many cases the

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
Can Heirhk he Increasedr

L.B.L.-We regret to advise you
that at your age 800 there is pos
lively no chance OF increasing your
height. The leaf1et you sent us is a
pure and unadulterated fake. Any
person having a method which could
increase the height of an individual
by five inches in five months for
$1,000 could become millionaire
within a year. Do not be fooled by
the claim of Malcolm Ross that he
has given 26 years service to human
ity. This service Is for his own
pocketbook and at the expense of the
gullible public who are foolish
enough to spend money on his
method. There are no stretching ex-
ercises which would increase the
thickness of the cartridges between
the vertebrate. When PRISON is
forcibly stretched, he may become
longer by two or three inches while
he is on the bed of torture. This is
due to the stretching of the liga-
ments of his knee and hip joints. AS
soon as he gets on his feet again, he
snaps back into his original helght.
Many people have tried to take a
stretching exercise before appearing
at the physical examination for
policemen and firemen, but they
found that they were sometimes one
quarter of an inch less than their
normal height. This is due to an
over-compensating contraction OF
the ligaments.

Washington, D. Q,
I cannot urge local sympathizers

AS for myself, I cannot, with words,
express my gratitude for what the

me to heap sufficient praise upon

charged two gangs of Local 978 OF
the coal trimmers. These men re-
fused to take it lying down. They
organized a rank and file action
committee and elected delegates to
the M. w. u. convention. There
these delegates learned how to fight.
They came back, drew up their own
code, rejected Ryan's agreement and
filed suit against p. r. Barrett and
Millner for all back pay, for the
money incurred through losses Of
self trimming ships and insurance.
They also are demanding $12 per
week per man for the full time they
were locked out.
Millner tried to frigllten them by
threatening to eXpel any man who
was caught aiding these locked out
men.
But this only made the men fight
all the harder.
They had Wright and Clarke OF
the M. W. / y. speak at their local
meetings. Nillner threatened the
expulsion of the whole local by using
the red scare, but the rank and file
said If he takes away our I. L. A.
we will add one more letter to our
union name-and that will be the
M. w. I. U. They elected delegates
to the MIRA. Code hearing in Wash
ington on Nov. g.
Millner forced himself on this
delegation in order to retard the
rapidly growing fight of these men.
On Wednesday, Nov. 8, the day the
delegation was to leave from Nor
folk, Millner goes to Lambert's Point,
has talk with F. r. Barrett, and
then comes back to town, calls ur
all the delegates and tells them ii
was no use leaving for Washington
that night because Ryan would not
be there. This lie fooled all the dele
gates except Jeff Nichols of Local
1921.
Present Rank and File Code
Nichols Immediately got in touch
with Alexander Wright of the M. w
I. U, and they left for Washington
as scheduled. On Thursday night
Nichols presented the coal trinmers
code to the hearing. This was the

company has already tried to evade
paying the 20 cents by saying that
we wasted our time and went to
the movies instead OF soliciting.
We see now what can be done
by getting together and fighting for
our rights. It shows us how quickly
we can gain better conditions if
we do something about it. And
it's proved to us how important

us.
We have many more grievances
which we can overcome in the same
manner by organizing and fighting.

now. Instead of taking it we're

Chicago sent In $286.56, compared
with only 1858 i'll the previous half

Seattle, despite its poor showing,
remained in the lead with a rating
OF l5808 per cent. Boston sent in
$3.50, and rates 1927 per cent. If
Seattle doesn't wake up, Boston or
another more active District will take
the lead away.
New York sent in $579.60. Not bad.

the point OF attendance both were a.
success. Another good feature was
that workers not in our movement got
up and told very simply their stories
Program Not Brought Forward
"A woman gave the story of hard
ships that she and her children were
going through. She told Of how she
searched for solution of her prob
lens. How she had planned suicide
and finally joining the holy rollers
where she found some relief for her
mental anguish. This was the first
time she had attended a meeting
called by the Unemployed Councils.
Many workers in the audience were
crying when she finished her story.
In that crowd were many more
with her problems-and now we
must ask ourselves--did this open
hearing show this woman who is
responsible for her condition? Did
this open hearing show her way
out of her present condition? AS
this Is her first attendance at a
meeting called by the Unemployed
Councils-did we show her what the
SOu41Ch AS-WhdJ bnC
role of the U.C. is-and since the
Communist candidate for mayor was
the prosecutor--did we show her
what the Communist Party is-or
did we just confuse her more?
81 think that she left confused
that we did not prove to her that the
way Of the Holy Rollers was not the
way out-that the Unemployed Coun-
Gil was a fighting organization for
immediate demands-and we did not
combat her many illusions success
fully.
Role of Party Played Down
Tin the first place, the prepara-
tions-leaders, advertised that the
Democratic candidate for mayor, the
councilmen of that ward, the head
of the relief committee were all in
vited, but it didn't mention the Com
munist candidate for mayor who was
also invited and was the only one
to be present.
Next at the meeting itself, when
none of the bosses agents showed up,
leading comrade of the city unem-
ployed movement was chosen to rep
resent the bosses and the Communist
Party candidate for mayor as prose-
cutor. I. o. Ford did good job for
the Communist Party, but the indie
pendent role of the Unemployed
Councils was not brought forward.
