Many of us Were fooled by the
whole damn thing and we said:
SIT cannot be worse, so it must
turn for the BETTER" many of the
men said, "If Roosevelt don't make
it better. there is going to be a
bloody revolution" And so we
thought it would be better! Since
the NRA came into force we have
learned that it can be worse!
As an example | will cite my own
case. ! pay for the truck IS cents

Dear Miss Luke:
have been reading with great
interest your column in the Daily
Worker ant have found some very
useful hints in it. However, my only
reason for writing to you was to
send some recipes which you might
like to recommend for those who have
very limited budgets AS I find myself
forced to feed four individuals on
the n1eager sum Of $18 per month, I
have to be economical and pinch
penny as possible.
During the very cold weather I
find that soups, stews and hashes are
about the most appropriate things
to prepare, and about the most nour-
fishing. The following menu IS fairly
representative of the food I feed my
family in winter.

and demanded his expulsion. The
same charge was made against the
entire local leadership. Mr.. O'Brien
was the second accuser.
The accused member Admitted that
at one time he was member of the
N.M.U. because it is the only union
controlled by the miners and having
a program Of struggle for the benefit
of the miners. Scores of other men,
berS, indignant over the accusation,
shouted: It was a member of the
NMU." The sentiment was such that
the two gentlemen were forced to
drop their charges because they
would have to accuse the entire local
membership.
This gang of Fagan's diehards are
enraged because they are not the
leaders of the local. They were
cleaned out because they insisted that
the Lowber mine shall continue to
work.
Once we came on strike we passed
motion not to go back until the
coke region goes back and we intend
to stick to that motion.

Morris Cohen of the Bronx writes
that two cloakmakers going home
discussed their trade. Said one who
is cutter, "T'm a skilled worker and
am not considered proletariat,
from a political-economy standpoint .
Said the other: 81 betcha all skilled
workers are considered proletariats. -
So they made a bet, and the loser,
according to Morris, has to give 81
to the i'Daily'' $4,000 drive. They
are leaving 1t UP to the editor to de-
eide, and here is the answer:
"a skilled worker is not a banker;
he is not parasite, he is not Wall
Street gambler; he, is not a boss.
What is hep All workers, skilled or
not skilled, all who work for liv-
ing, all who are exploited by the
bosses, all workers, employed or un-
employed, are proletarians, yes, even
from the political-econonaic stand
point. Editor Daily Worker.

they walked out, all of them Joined
the A. F. of L. Prior to this time
our union group had been meeting
regularly, had been issuing leaflets
and had drawn up a shop program,
but was making little Roadway. We
Immediately decided to get in touch
with the welderS and also to utilize
this walk-out of the workers to try
and develop militancy of the workers
to the point of strike struggle
throughout all other departments un-
der the leadership of the Steel and
Metal Workers Union.
The workers are employed on a
three-Shift basis, therefore there was
considerable difficulty in getting them
together. We had experienced this
even with our small union group of
IS. We therefore decided to call the
workers on a shift basis and a week
ago we held our first meeting from
the shift where we had the largest
number of union members, and to the
surprise of the local comrades at
1:30 at night, directly after coming
from work, we got 40 workers, only
six of whom were union members,
and to this meeting we were also
successful in bringing six Of the
welders who had walked out. This
was our first real break through our
previous isolation.
At this shift meeting we took up
with the workers what had happened
in the case of the welders, and the
conditions generally, as result of the
new Steel and Metal Workers Union
in contrast to the A. F. of L.
In the discussion it was decided
that workers from other shifts should
be called and demands should be dis
cussed at each shift and that an open
mass meeting of all the workers in
the plant should be held three days
later In one of the largest halls in
town. At this meeting of DO, Is Joined
the Union.
In the next couple Of days we pro-
ceeded in holding shift meetings OF
the other two shifts, where we also
discussed the conditions and prepar-
ations for the Saturday open meet
ing. Two specific points must be
noted In connected with this meet
ing, and with the work in the plant
ID The workers do not live In the
town In which the plant is located
but are scattered all through the

first open meeting of this character
limited to the workers OF one plant
that has been held in this region for
many years. While meetings have
been held in the name Of the union
no previous attempt was ever made to
call only the workers Of one specific
plant to q meeting.
The meeting, which was held In
the morning, after the last shift had
finished work, was attended by little
less than 100 workers. Most of the
time was taken up by very detailed
explanation of the Steel and Meta

Thirdly, most OF tbs germs IN the
mouth are non-pathogenic, meaning
that they do not produce disease. The
manufacturers have good reasons, On
the other hand, to exaggerate the
number and danger Of the mouth

the ignorant and increasing the sale
of their products. H.
A case in point is that tablet known
as Formamint, which is supposed to
kill mouth and throat germs because
1t contains the powerful gernlicide

The Party press tries hard to put

I tried to buy pamphlets on the

us to be able to study in order to

ANSWER TO QUESTIONS
Hygiene Of the Nose, Throat and
Mouth

HyHAGAS tltc NUE. Es1cSl
Mouth
We have before us . number Of
letters inquiring about the care of the
upper respiratory tract and instead
of answering them individually, we
thought 1t might be more practical
to devote a special article to the sub
ject.
AS far as the mouth Is concerned,
there is little to worry about. Ma
ture has supplied the cavity with
cleansing fluid in the form Of
saliva. The various n1outh-washes
which are so widely advertised and
guaranteed to kill the 81 varieties of
germs supposed to be present in the
mouth, are not only useless, but often
blunt the taste sensation of the
mouth and may even cause irrita-
ton, congestion and inflammation OF
the buccal (mouth} cavity.
Every cent spent on these "anti-
septic" mouth washes Is thrown away.
First, because they are not antiseptic
nor germicidal (germ-killing) nor
bactericidal bacteria killing; neither
do they prevent or cure "halitosis'
chad BREATH or pyorrhea. Any anti
septic solution which is strong enough
to kill germs, also destroys the deli
cate lining Of the mouth, known as
the mucous membrane, both being
composed Of protoplasm diving mat
teri and destructible by the same
chemical agents. These antiseptics
are effective against germs in test
tube, but cannot be used in the body
except when diluted to such an ex-
tent that they are gerlnicidal in name
only.
Secondly, if we admit, for the sake
of argument, that the various mouth
washes are capable of killing bacteria
without injuring the delicate men,
branes which line mouth, we are i'm
mediately confronted with the fact
that the next breath of air or the

recommended that the court and its
