ANSWERS to QUESTIONS

Title E.-Your low blood pressure
the indefinite symptoms pointing to
every organ in the body and the
other signs you mention, would lead
us to believe that you have been suf-
fering from anemia. You are lucky,
they did not operate on you every
time you were under observation at
the various hospitals. A good diet
for you should include spinach, liver,
rare steaks and chops, onions and
lots of green vegetables.
About Onions
7. R.-There Is nothing wrong
with you If onions do not agree with
your digestion. There are lots of
things and people whom we like, but
who do not like us. You are either
sensitive" to onions, Just as some
individuals are sensitive to straw
berries; or your stomach is unable
to digest them. The feeling OF diz-
illness, as if you were drunk, that you
experience after eating onions shows
that you would be better off by leav-
ing them strictly to themselves, or
to others. Did you try to sweat"
them, before eating them? This

onions begin TO exude a liquid which

.A Cuts Pay at
Folks, New York
By a Worker Correspondent

NEW YORK.-1n a recent edition
of your paper I read in the workers
correspondence a letter written by
an employee of the r. l.. Polk Co.,
Detroit. Mich. Office, telling of this
company's exploitation of their
workers.
In the interests of friend of mine
who is employed in the above COM
pany's New York Office, at 354 4th
Ave. / would like to tell you of the
conditions under which the girls are
working.
Before the N r. A. went into effect
the girls were paid $1.35 for tipping
1000 envelopes. The average girl can
do only from 1000 to 1,40O envelopes
per day at a constant grind.
Under the N. R. A., conditions are
more intoleraple than ever. 1t calls
for minimum amount of work per
day, which in many cases it is i'm
possible to 90. If you do not reach
this minimum within few days you
are Immediately discharged.

Editors Note.-The writer of this
letter should get in touch with the

OUR ANSWER TO THE WORKER
FROM ST, LOUIS

II you were younger, then we would
say - Go ahead, come out in the
open, develop the struggles OF the
workers in your town around the
immediate demands" In such case
the best protection against victimiza-
ton would be found in the created
mass movement. However, in your
particular case, taking into considera-
ton your age, and the conditions in
town at this moment while appreci-
ating your devotion to the cause of
the working class, we are of the
opinion that the best method that
you can pursue is TO surround your
self with a group of young workers,
known to yourself for their sincerity,
who will become instruments in de-
veloping the movement, without your
being exposed Immediately,
The immediate task before you is
TO get some worker to distribute the
Daily Worker. and to get a group of
unemployed to take up the struggle
for the immediate demands in town
on their shoulders. And to see how
in the most important factory of
your town, in spite of the fact that
there is no basic industry YOU can
develop some movement around the
immediate demands in the factory.
The fact that without exposing
yourself in the street you will give
guidance to a group of young work
ers makes you already active. Later
on, on the basis of the development
Of the movement, you can Judge about
The possibility of working openly.
In general, concerning the protec-
ton Of the Party organization and
individual comrades in towns where
the terror is great, we advise you to
read the article in the October Com
munist which deals with this ques-
Jon.

Aged Worker Celebrates 18th
Birthday by Helping ''Daily"


NEW YORK.-7Joseph Hahn, of 129
Franklin Street, Astoria, L.. l., had
his 10th birthday recently. He cele-
brated it by coming to the office of
the Daily Worker to contribute to the
$4,000 drive 50 that the Daily"
might live.
Hahn came to The United States
from Bavaria in 1881. A cigarmaker
by trade. he joined the Cigarmakers'
Union, Local 1872, of Brooklyn. At
that time Samuel Gompers just
started on his career as arch labor
betrayer. ..s..o
In 1886, Hahn; Joined the Socialist
Labor Party in which he was very
active. AT that time the S. L. P. was
not an official party, but a part of
the United-Laboff Party, influenced
by the Single Taxer, Henry George.
After the expnSfofe of the S. L. P.
from Henry Gsorge's organization,
Hahn helped organize the Progressive
Labor Party at-fts first convention
in Webster Hsir-in 1887. In 1889,
Hahn also helped..organize Branch
of the WorkingmenS Sick and Benefit
Society, of which he is still a member
When the Progressive Labor Party
split in 1889, Hahn sided with the
S. L. P, because he says he belieTed
it stood for Communism.
Today, Joseph Hahn stands square
footed for the Communist Party. He
reads the Daily Worker every day.
IT am unemployed now" he said, "but
I get work from time to time and
when I do, the Daily Worker gets
something, becauseoit's my paper. 1t
gets better every day. It's improved
fine in the last six months. haven't
missed reading it, for the last six
years"
Despite his advanced age, Joseph
Hahn is still vigorous. Those who
we're with him in the S. L. P. in the
bygone days remember his devotion
to the Party. He was never too tired
to pass out leaflets or do other re-
evolutionary work. When there was
nobody else to call on for work for
the party, Joe Hahn volunteered to
do the work." another old-timer, now
member of the Communist Party,
said as he met Hahn in the Daily
Worker office.
Joseph Hahn at 56 years, urges all
workers to read the Daily Worker and
to support 1t with contributions just
as he does.

day morning ! hiked out there all
the way. The first place I tried
was the Acme Wire Co. The man
ager in this place is woman. The
place was crowded. She sized me
up first, seeing that was up in
years. She pointed at the door and
said, "Get out, no work for you"
/ hid out in the hallway to see
how the young people would make
out. She ordered everyone of them
out. No one got a job.
/ next went to the Whitney Blake
Co., another large concern. A big
fat man shooed them out as fast
as they entered.
The next place was the Safety
Car Heating Co. No work. They
might put on few later on, but
could not guarantee that.
So that is all that the new deal
consists of.

NRA Board Exposed
As a Spy Agency

NEW YORK.-The blanket code
for the picture frame industry is 43
hours a week, which is bad enough,
but the boss in this shop works his
people till eight, nine and ten o'clock
every night, Saturday and Sunday
included.
At 4.3o the men go out TO eat and
come back at 5 to resume their work
for the evening. He calls this a
double shift.
The girls in the office and the
statesmen work Just as long hours
without getting a cent extra in pay
for 1t.
Many of the workers are getting
below even the code minimum. Err
rand boys get $40 and $11. One Of
flee girl gets $12 a week.
One of the workers reported this
condition to the N. r, A. office and
that worker was promptly fired. The
boss upon receiving the complaint
went to the N. r. A. office and told
them the following: IT have to make
money, that's all there is to it. ]
took the Blue Eagle because I wanted
to be good citizen, but if it's going
to hinder me in my business you can
have it back. And, by the way, ]
want to know who gave you the re-
port about me, because 1 don't want
nosy bodies around my place"
The N. r. A. then told him that
everything will be all right, but that
he should just try to cut down on
the hours bit, and they gave him
the name of the worker who reported
the case to them.
The boss to make sure that he
will not be bothered any more by
this foolishness," then went down to
Tammany Hall, and got things all
fixed up.

LEARNING TO ORGANIZE
(By a Miner Correspondent

CHESTER, Pa. South Chester
Tube Co. shut down last week. The
workers we're preparing to strike and
the bosses resorted to intifnidating
the workers by laying them off.
1t is the terrific speed-up that the
bosses use in trying to produce as
much In 3 hours as they did in ten
hours with smaller crew lin most
factories, along with the automatic
lowering of wages that has at last
awakened the workers to the peril of
ranks and the necessity
OF united front.

NEGRO RIGHTS
By a Worker Correspondent

NEW YORK.-The other day 1 was
eating in the autonat at Canal st.
and Broadway. One of the Negro
workers employed there as a bus-boy
asked one of the customers to please
stop smoking. And this white man
raised quite fuss. He went to the
manager and 1 heard him say, Don't
you ever let a black man tell me not
to smoke" Later I went over to the
Negro worker and gave him a copy
OF the Labo" Defender without the
manager seeing me.
/ am sure when he reads it he will
be convinced that the International
Labor Defense fights for Negro
right1.

girls Cthey never said anything about
that in the newspapers and the rest
Of the girls got out a letter that they
were going to work 7 hours a day
and 40 hours week. But that time
the workers got fooled.
After MIRA. got into effect the
most we have been working is two
days a week, and under a terrible
speed up. We have to make about
so to IS boxes of Baby Ruth (penny
bars, and 100 bars in every box).
Many girls in there can not keep
up with the speed up, so they got
laid off. The biggest check we get
(under N.R.A) is SIS week. Some
girls can't even make that, they make
little more than their street car fare,

Comrade Editor:

day 1 really realized what it meant
not to understand what was in the
Daily Worker. When 1 dropped into
the headquarters in Providence and
found three young textile workers
having a game on who knew the
most authorizations and not one of
them knew so per cent of them. We

The following information given by
the Friends Of the Soviet Union gives
the real facts on the Metropole
Hotel.
The Metropole in Moscow and
similar hoStelries in other cities are
maintained by the Soviet Govern
ment in order to accommodate for
eign tourists. Their service is COM
parable to that of the finest hotels in
Western Europe, and the rates
charged Gin foreign currency are on
a par with those of London or Berlin
hotels. One can obtain AS course
meal for a little over 81. The Glen
tele Of this and similar hotels also
includes foreign specialists employed
in the U. S. S. r. Many of these en-
gineers and technicians draw high
salaries in roubles. For these people
to spend IS roubles for a meal can
hardly be considered exorbitant.
The Soviet workers do not patron
lze the Metropole. They have no
need to do so. They get their meals
at the factory staloYayas where the
charge is no more than SO to so
kopeks a meal.
