NEW FORCES GROW ON
B'KLYN WATERFRONT
Relief Won for Negro Worker Is Opening
Wedge Into New Territory
BY ANNA.

NEW YORK-Several months ago,
" Unit is, Section 7, located in Ne
gro territory, and consisting of raw
elements, was assigned the task Of
building q block committee. When
we started to work, questions arose
for discussion, as result of which
number of comrades were sent to
a certain district to inquire into
the needs Of unemployed families.
In the course of canvasSing, we
discovered one Negro worker, out
of work for five months, who had
appealed to the democratic captain
in the district, and then gone re-
peatedly to the Home Relief Bureau
without results. We, therefore, Or
ganized the other needy tenants in
his house and went in a group Of
ten to the Home Relief Bureau,
where the supervisor was forced to
grant food and rent relief to this
worker
GROUP GAINS CONCESSIONS
Our victory was made known to
the neighbors on the block through
open-air meetings and the distribu-
ton of leaflets. They responded by
coming to us in larger numbers,
and we took more and more of
them to the bureau, with militant
fights for relief.
We continued organizing and
agitating daily, winning the conf
dence of the workers through ac-
tual concessions gained for them,
and, in spite Of difficulties, built
and then enlarged the Unemployed
Council through the energies of
splendid militant workers. We have
not forgotten, at the same time to
build our Party, having already
included four or five new members
and having number of excellent
prospects.

FREE PATIENTS
ARE MISTREATED
One Threatened With
Trip to CRAZY House"

NEW YORK.-TWo more exam
pies Of the cruelty with which hos
pital authorities treat the unem-
ployed worker were brought to light
today A few months ago Sarah
GreenStein was taken to Kings Coun-
ty Hospital after an accident. While
there she suffered all sorts of in
dignities. Her appeals to the staff to
relieve her OF the pain were met with
no response. Her bed was showed into
the aisle to make room for a paying
patient, and everyone who passed
bumped against her. making her con-
dition worse. When she dared to
complain she was threatened with
confinement in the crazy house.
Finally she left and went yesterday
to the Jewish Hospital. She could
get no further help than the "help-
fur advice that she return to Kings
County Hospital ~
At the same Jewish hospital case
Of similar nature was discovered.
Anna Schulman, free patient, tin-
derWent an operation recently. 1t was
unsuccessful, and the doctor admit
ted that an accident" had occurred
on the operating table. But the hos
pital refuses to confirm the doctors
confession, and, in addition, will not
let Anna Schulman remain there.
Either she pays or she must go to
Kings County Hospital, the asylum
from which Sarah Greenstein es-
capped.
These two cases are only two more
proofs in the campaign exposing the
hospitals which the Daily Worker
has been waging. The treatment Civ
en- these workers shows again the
complete indifference of the author
tiles to the fate of the unemployed
worker as long as he remains pas

LIFTING LEVEL
OF POLITICAL
LIFE IN UNIT
Plannin G by Buro
Leaves Time for
Discussion

NEW ORK.-Although Party
" members persistently lament the
low political level of our comrades,
these comrades continue in their
failure to insist that unit bureaus
arrange all meetings to include dis
cussion. AS new unit agitprop
I, myself, failed for some time to
see the necessity for curtailing
business assignments for that pur-
pose. Through an article in the
PARTY Builder on Oct. IS, how
ever, became alive to the inn
portance of discussion, and got an
inkling of what could be done to-
wards this end.
Now our bureau operates in this
way: The bureau knows what
comrades are available for assign
ments on certain evenings; it makes
proposals for assignments, thus
avoiding endless pickering as to
who will do this today and that
tomorrow; not more than three
points are included in the agenda.
Thus, time is left for discussion,
the need for which the comrades
feel increasingly as we grow in po-
litical understanding of our every
day jobs
TWO weeks before the District
L Resolution was given up for dis
clIssion, we had gone over the sub
ject Of unemployed work, and in
this way improved our work con-
siderably. The Importance of at
tending section classes, too, came
up, and, as result, interest in the
Workers School was stimulated to
the extent that several previously
uninterested comrades asked to be
sent.
Our unit is now looking forward
to weekly discussions, which, when
no material has been prepared, will
take the form of questions and an
Swers on any issues taken up. Re
Gently this interesting question
(Which we will discuss in the near
future) arose: Was it correct for
the Soviet Union to recognize
China under the rule of the Fas-
ciSt Chang Kai-C hek?
So in the manner described we
improve and stimulate the life of
our unit, raising our political stand
ards and making of us more valu-
able workers.

Reports from the
Shops in n. Y.
BY S. GUTKIN.

Our shop employs SO workers.
Forty-four workers are members of
the ILGWU. Nine workers do not
belong to any union, and the fore
man does with them as he wishes.
In this shop we formed a shop
nucleus eight months ago with
three Party members.
At present, we have five in the
unit with good possibilities to fur
Their increase our number.
Ten workers Of the shop already
belong to the opposition group Of
our trade (raincoats).
During this period, we carried
through two successful open for
ums.
Comrades of the Industrial Union
were the speakers. We have discus
sions with the workers in the shop
about daily problems confronting
the workers.
The walls in the shop are decor
ated with our posters and leaflets
and slogans Of our press, various
cartoons.
At the time of election, we sold
literature eve are going on with
this work now. We spread the
Daily Worker and Freiheit in the
shop pointing out the articles which
will make good impression on the
workers. We had gatherings in the
shop for the Election Campaign
Fund. We raised few dollars.
We raised for the Freiheit $40.
Thirty or more workers partici-
pated.
We are determined to increase
our work and to further build the
nucleus.

time, there were two Party mem
bers and three sympathizers in the
shop. No organizational form among
these workers, not even among the
Party members. The boss demand
ed OF the right wing union to help
him IN a reorganization since he
said he needed only half of the
forces. The right-wing leaders per-
mitted the reorganization and half
the workers were thrown out, The
leaders influenced every worker of
the shop, promising each one that
he would remain. The fight against
this reorganization was led by our
Party members and the three SYM
pathizers and one other worker who
was sure that he was going to be
thrown out. But the fight was not
organized, and therefore they sue
ceeded in putting through the re-
organization. But they didn't dare

Win Negroes

NEW YORK.-Section 4, in Har-

, in the United States, has attempted
to draw Negroes into the Com
nlu1list Party or into organizations
under its leadership, but with little
success. In spite of "Scottsboro,"
police terror, unemployment, dis
elimination in the relief bureaus,
and eyictions, the Party has failed
TO gain a foothold here. This is
proven by the fact that although
the capitalist parties have paid less
attention to the Negro vote, our
Party vote did not grow in pro-

1t has only been in cases where
workers realized the impossibility
of success in individual struggle,
only in instances of mass pressure
in anti-eviction fights, in demon
strations at relief agencies, in
struggles of school children, that
relief has been forced and con-
cessions gained. The boss class is
not afraid of the lone worker But
in an article in thee,bourgeois mag

that relief is given in direct pro-
portion to the struggles of the Un-
