Urges Rank and File
Moves to Fight for
LeatherW OrkersRelief
by a Worker Correspondent

PEABODY, Mass-During the gen.
eral leather strike in March and
April, the A.. @. Lawrence Leather
Co. lived up to its traditions. The
factories were overrun with stool
pigeons, squealers and strikebreakers,
and any Of these having grudge
against their fellow-workers could
easily have them discharged by whis-
pering Red" in the bosses ear. This
company has installed the most Vi
cious Speed-up system, grinding out
more production during 1882 than
during the war years.
/. Several hundred workers left their
machines and benches at the general
strike call in March. Many returned
to work after the company officials
brought pressure to bear on their
families. but the majority stayed out
and all other factories had settled the
strike.
Over the telephone the A. c. Law
renee management promised to re-
turn these workers to their jobs If
they would break up their independ-
ent union and stop picketing. These
demands were acceded to, but the
A. G. Lawrence Co. manager then
stated that telephone promise is
not binding.
These 220 workers are unable tc
get jobs anywhere due to the bla tx
list. None of these workers are elig-
IDLE for relief although their families
are suffering from bitter privation
These workers must get together II
an organized body and force the Of
ficials Of the National Leather Work
ers Union to place a determined de-
mand on the city for welfare relie1

TESTING TIE DAILY.
Dear Editor:

Dear Editor:
Lately I've been In the habit OF
taking q coupls of extra coptes of
"Dailies" downtown with me. The
pleasure I get out Of spreading the
Daily" and also watching the one
who picks it I'D start reading 1t, ne
pays for the price OF the papers.
Try 1t yourself one of these DAYS,
Comrade Readers. Leave your paper
on seat. get behind post and watch
the one who receives the paper pick
1t up 1ndifferently. Then note the
eye catch a headline; read line or
two; then note the shock Of inter
est, Of discovery; note the firn1er
grip taken on the DAILY" the body
leaning forward; hungry eyes seem
ing to deyour every word that leaps
up into the receivers eyes. It's per-
feet pantomime and it's worth the
.1ree cents to start the day right.

areas particularly, we know that the
Daily Worker is rendering incalcula-
bly, valuable service by the health adj
vice 1t puts at the disposal of it's
readers.
II the working class as a whole
could peer over our shoulder and read
the never lending avalanche of pitt
full and pathetic stories which are
continually poured out in the letters
we receive; II the crimes, cruelties,
bunglings, neglects and indifference
melted out to workers by medical and
other quacks could be visualized by
the readers of the Daily Worker, we
have no doubt that we should be
flooded with contributions to keep
up the work we are doing. But as it
is impossible to print the letters, and
as we are adverse to advertising our
work. the imagination of our readers
has failed to be stirred and we are
confronted with peculiar situation.
On one hand we receive letter after
letter praising the Health Column
and continually demanding relief; on
the other, the money contributions
to the Daily" have been so meagre
that we have to ask ourselves wheth-
err the compliments we receive are
real or merely rhetrolcal figures of
speech.
We are 342 letters behind in our
answers. We need secretary to
take care Of the stonographic work
and we need, at least, double the
space now allotted to us, in order
to reply to queries within decent
period. we cannot get either of the
above requirements if our readers
remain indifferent. If only fraction
of the number Of letters are attended
to in this column or privately and
the replies are from four TO six
weeks late, our advice becomes a
inockery instead Of living service.
Therefore, If you wish a better, big
ger and more efficient column, say
it with your contributions, care Of
this department. In the present sit
uation, a dollar speaks louder thar
100 compliments.

DAILY NEWS" LIES AGAIN
RY a Worker Ctnrresnnndenf

NEW YORK.--For several weeks
we, the workers of Ryker Beach, have
been forced to go without (vouchers)
pay until the middle of the week,
after having returned back to work.
After this condition had become I'M
bearable we had to stop work and
ask for our pay. Then the capitalist
press, the Daily News" tried to fool
the public saying we wanted money
because it was a Jewish holiday.
But since then groups of workers
have been picked out and fired while
others are threatened daily. But this
lime it is no Jewish holiday, so the
News" is deaf, blind and dumb.

letters here now are the following:
Dear Conlrade Helen,
Today l want to send a few recipes
which the workers can make If their
gas is not turned off and the pocket
book has no consumption. One has
to be afraid to send q good menu, for
fear some comrades say it is bour-
geois; or, if it is not a substantial
one, other Lomrades say, How can
a man work with such a meal?"
If anybody is entitled to a whole

never gets the fruit Of his labor .

Use a good lump of butter, two

mittee; 1t involved the Disarmament
Conference in q crisis to escape from
which Premier Macdonald came forward
with q generous plan, just as DID
President Hoover at the first conference.
Upon France will depend whether the
great work of peaceful cooperation and
reconciliation of the peoples will sue
ceed or not. Again and again the liet
motif of French policy Is sounded In
the speeches of all her statesmen-the
pact and only the pact!
Follows Italy and Britain.
For over 10 years the world, and par
ticularly the nations defeated in the
war. has watched with unending pa
tience the endeavors of French policy
to give security and sanction to one
section Of the League Of Nations-the
maintenance of the treaties. This year
this policy has merely succeeded In in
volving Europe deeper and deeper in q
state of political, economic and social
tension which shortly must lead to tre-
mendous explosions unless the other
part Of the pact providing for a re-
vision of the treaties is not very soon
taken up in an energetic and purpose
full fashion.
Mussolini and Macdonald have shown
the way, Germany is following them
and France alone stands apart not
knowing what to do. We cannot believe
that it is really her intention to plan
how, in pursuit of known precedentS,
this endeavor might once again be
nipped in the bud and made ineffective
by means of tactical maneuvers.
Germany in any case would resist an
attempt of this kind just as energetic
ally as she resisted and will resist any
attempt to bring the problem Of dis
armament to an unsatisfactory solution
in the shape of technical details, theo-
retical disputes and juridical sophistries
