Comrade Editor:
l have a critical angle: I think
when comrades advertise entertain
ments in your whats On" Column
if they can't hold the affair on the
date stated, they should find a way
to inform eager guests about the
untimely cancellation. Why? Be-
cause I have travelled several times
to affairs only to find a closed door
and no signs posted as to why the
affair was called off.

Comrade Editor;
The Communist Party is the only
one that is doing all they can for the
working class.
l have been a member of unions,
Socialist Party and Socialist ? Labor
Party, but when I discovered that I
was barking up the wrong tree,
changed my mind.
/ wish someone would show up in
this part Of the country and organize
this Northern land. l would be too
glad to join them.
Yours for better days, e.
Considering that a good many Of
us (readers) are barely Lterate with
due apology to those more fortunate)
the crude form of propaganda in
this workers paper is taken for
granted.
Though I personally think that it
might appeal to a good many more
readers, were the truth as given in
the Daily Worker only presented in
a more p9latable form.
Please understand I mean correc-
tive criticism only My object in
this, however, is the appearance of
words like for instance, "bi-lateral,"
as is found in the enclosed article.
How many workers have the time.
energy Or ambition to look up a die
tionary?
That should not be a necessity.
With due regard to your broad
minded acceptance Of this we'll

More power to you! An enlarged
Daily is just the thing. The Daily
has improved 100 per cent this sum-
mer.
We hear up here that there is
dock-workers strike at Buffalo. Have
not noticed anything in the Daily
about it. The effects of the strike
have been felt up here and the dock
workers are very sympathetic. We
are all in the dark. Maybe the Daily
Worker will have something to saw.
Comradely,

must insist that all meetings, con-
ferences and other indoor activities
begin early and never last more
than one or two hours. Psychologist
cal experiments have shown that q
person cannot sit more than 80
minutes in one place without be-
coming lethargic.
(ThiS question, as important as 1t
is from the health standpoint, Is also
an important political question. New

the Party until punctuality Is estab-

The average adult needs about
seven hours of sleep Few Party COM
rades get it. In fact, do not know
a single comrade who sleeps as much
as that. OF course, young adults have
a large amount Of, reserve energy
which enables them to carry on for
weeks, months and even years with
out the proper amount of relaxation.
They do not seem to be the worse off
for disregarding this fundamental
rule of good health. But this immu-
nifty is only apparent. Sooner or later
they break down mentally or phys
ically or both. And the Party loses
another good and trained worker,
who has to be replaced by two or
three inexperienced ones.

"Why Not More Bread?"
All of this sounds justifiable,
doesn't it? It's true, isn't it, that if
there were enough jobs to go round
the whole question of married
women holding any job whatsoever
simply would not arise? Instead Of
sitting over endless conferences
trying to decide who shall eat the
last piece of bread in the house,
why not make more bread? How
How about it, Madame Secretary?
Do you remember the pro-
misses of Franklin D. Roosevelt
when he was running for President
of the United States? Didn't he
promise that he would do some-
thing about unemployment insur-
ance? Didn't he promise to provide
for the forgotten man." Every
conceivable kind of law has been
passed that would benefit the
bankers, the Navy (Franklin's pet)
the big industrialists, the people
who have got it all anyway-(you
will read in other articles in this
paper how the National Recovery
Act is saving the necks of the
monopolies and serving the interests
of the huge corporations while at
the same time attacking the work
ers) but what has been done about
Unemployment Insurance?
Depend On Ourselves
1t is clear enough than that we
women cannot count on the pro-
misses of the President. Whom shall
we count on then? Only on our
selves, the workers. The Commun-
list Party Of America is made up of
these workers and fights for the
interests of those who do the work
of the world! 1t is informative to
read such articles as appear in this
Pictorial Review only if we keep
our eyes open for the loopholes
that show the real truth behind the
sugar-coating, for it is evident that
the author, while bringing out
these facts about the conditions of
women in this country, at the same
time gives high praise to the Presi-
dent and his Secretary of Labor
who are in the direct position of
being able to do something about it.
She ignores the fact that the Presi-
dent, who is powerful enough to
bring about Unemployment Insur-
ance within one weeks time, has
completely side-swept this issue that
means the difference between
slowly starving to death or staying
alive. This covering up of the
fundamental facts is all part of the
scheme to blind the workers to the
real truth about their country and
make them believe that they are
being taken care of-in spite of
the crisis.

Council, let me say that it usually
depends on the husband whether or
cot the wife will be in the labor
movement.
Some Liberation Possible
Every normal woman wishes to
foe liberated from the dull duties of
homework. You will say it is not
possible under the system of capital
ism. Perhaps so, but not entirely.
Her husband can at least try to in
duce her to an interest in social pro-
iuctive work. even if it may mean
neglecting him, somewhat or having
hin Pitch in with the homework
when necessary. Also staying with
the children few evenings a week
while she goes to meetings or lee
lures.
A comrade who is also a party
member said his wife has no time
to be a member of our council be-
cause she has small children and
likes to keep the home very clean.
He added that he likes everything
in order when he gets home. He
may Just as well say that every eve
ming he goes out expecting her also
to stay home with the children.
Many Too Meek
Many a woman has to battle with
her husband to stay in when she
has a meeting. g Of course, some
refuse to be so enslaved, and defy
their husbands, but many are too
meek from so much suppression and
resign themselves TO their fate.
Educate the men to nberate their
wives and not to expect too much
"sancity of the home" In the open
letter to party members it was not
even mentioned that the men
should induce their wives to become
active in the movement. and help
them to do so.
AS my personal opinion, this is
the first step, and if party members
don't do this what can be expected
from non-party members?
Sincerely yours,
(Mrs.) S. L.

criticism for the benefit of the proof
readers. as the first paragraph of the

U, S. BANKERS
CODE ADOPTED
At CONVENTION
Wage, Hour Proposals Are
Drawn for Approval of =
President.
BY WILLIAM F. SULLIVAN,
United Press staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, Sept. 8. - America S
bankers Thursday adopted a per-
manent code covering wages, work
ing hours and conditions for their
employees and policies and principles
in the operation of their institu-
tions.
The code was adopted at the final
session of the American Bankers
Association convention shortly after
the leading bankers of the nation
listened obviously to Comptroller of
the Currency James F.. T. OConnor
defend the guaranty deposits pro-
visions of the banking act of 1888.
In the same hall Thursday, the
convention adopted unanimously a
resolution condemning the insur-
ance of deposits as unfair" and de-
claring that if placed into effec5 on
Jan. /. next, it would force the clos
ing of thousands of banks.
Postal Savings Law Opposed
Only once did the financierS I'M
fold their arms to applaud the re-
marks Of Comptroller O'Connor who
had come as the administration S
spokesman from Washington. The
hand-clapping was occasioned by
the speakers statement that the
postal savings law should be re-
pealed." Bankers are hopeful this
repeal will be accomplished
Thu Nodo yr-1oi
effective on Oct. 1 If approved
by the President, grants the right
Of bank employees to organize for the
purpose of collective bargaining
through representatives. Of their own
choosing and that employees shall
not be forced to join company or
ganizations A public hearing will
be held Sept. 18 in Washington on
the code.
Maximum working hours for city
bank employees will be fixed at forty
hours week averaged over
thirteen-week period and at forty
eight hours a week in rural COM
munitleS for period not to exceed
sixteen consecutive weeks in any
calendar week.
Minimum Wage Fixed
The minimum wage liimt in cities
of over 100000 population was fixed
at SIS week; in cities of 100000
to 100000 population at $1450 a
week; in cities Of $500 to 100000
population, $14 a week. In towns
of less than $500 population, wages
of all employees are to be increased
20 per cent, providing the increase
does not exceed a $12 a week mini
mum.
The code exempts all employees
receiving $35 a week or more, and
night watchmen. The bankers
pointed out it would not be safe to
change watchmen during the night
hours.
Interest rates, subject to federal
reserve bank regulations, must be
uniform within groups, excepting
mutual savings banks. The interest
rate recently was set at per cent
maximum, with no interest on de-
mand deposits.
Hours Are Established
All national, state and savings
banks and trust companies accept
ing deposits will come under the
terms of the code.
Under provisions for fair trade
practices, the code provides that
banks of the same kind must estab-
liSh uniform hours of maximum
operation. Banks would be permit
ted to operate at less than the
maximum hours providing no re-
ductiop is made in the number of
employees.
Clearing houses and similar or
CARNATIONS within state, country or
other districts, shall adopt uniform
rules on service charges.

pledged the legion to fight legis-
lation equally unfair to the tax
payer and to the veteran.
Commander Johnson technically
was bound by the legion consttu-
ton to fight practically everything
that President Roosevelt was de-
handing from congress.
Suggests New Policy
Instead. he struck out boldly and
suggested rather forcibly," new
pension policy. 1t was as follows;
/. A uniform pension law which
would treat the disabled soldiers and
their dependents of all wars on an
equal basis. Under the present far
rago of veterans laws, there is
wide difference in the amount Of
compensation paid for same diSabil-
tiles to the various wars. The tax
payers still are supporting a few
widows from the war of 1912, and
thousands of pensioners from the
conflicts which followed it, Com
mander Johnson would treat all
these pensioners alike.
?. He would increase payments to
parents. widows and orphans of men
killed in the service. Under present
legislation. the dependent mother OF
a man killed on the western front
gets only $50 monthly and S6 addi-
tional for each child The legion
commander agrees with critics Of
the present compensation legislation
that these sums look inadequate
when actual veterans, whose disabil-
tiles are such that they can earn
regular living, are getting much
more.
Would Play Fair
3. He would overhaul all legiSla-
ton having to do with payments to
men not injured in fact during their
war service. Hes does not approve
of the disability allowance law
which has paid more than $80000,-
900 since July, 1880, to men injured
in civilian life after the war.
He emphatically believes that no
veteran disabled because of ad-
vanced age or incurable disease
should become an object Of public
charity. These, he thinks, should be
wards of the federal government.
He also is of the opinion that the
''presumptive law" should be the OBJ
ject of expert analysis Under this
legislation, certain men, unable to
prove that their physical difficulties
were caused by their war service.
have been presumed" by legislative
fiat to be casuals of the World war
and thus have gotten on the PEN
sion roll
Close Examination Favored
The original purpose of this legls-
lation was to take care of border
line" cases. A man who might have
had influence in 1918 and in 1922
developed tuberculosis, under the
presumptive law. automatically would
have gone on the government pay
roll.
Commander Johnson believes that
such cases should be examined by
the best scientific authority obtain
able and that the decision of such
authority should be binding upon
the government
4. He believes that legionnaires
have duty, as good citizens, to
keep a more careful scrutiny in the
future upon all government costs,
as wasteful expenditures are likely
to deprive the disabled veteran of
his dues from the government.

present legion leaders hope to make
their organization alert to the
