legislators fears that he would at

June, by announcing he had with

The governor said, however, he
had asked the attorney general for
an opinion to determine whether
his signature on the bill was nee

effective without his signature.
The chief executive also receded
from his position of compelling the

POLICE SEEK
MISSING GIRL

Los ANGELES, May IL. U.P)
-Dorothea Williams. Fl, who
disappeared from her blood
stained automobile in the Palos
Verdes hills last night, was
found by deputy sheriffs late
today in a Wilmington hotel.
Deputies said the girl ap-
peared at the Verdes View Inn
about 1890 o'clock last night to
have wounds on her wrists
dressed. Two employees of the
inn, who said they dressed the
wounds, were to be questioned.
Deputies said the wounds ap-
peared to have been self-inflic-
ted.
LOS ANGELES, May II. Upt-
Deputy sheriffs today searched
through the lonely Palos Verdes
hills for trace of Dorothea Eve
lyn Williams, 81, whose blood-spat-
tered automobile, an opened hunt
ing knife nearby, was found In the
beach highlands last night.
An incoherent note found in the
abandoned automobile weakened a
theory of homicide. Officers first
believed the girl had been trailed
from her San Pedro home when
she went to collect bills for her mo-
theirs printing shop, and was stab
bed and robbed.
The note, found in the locked au-
tomobile beside the girls empty
purse, was unsigned and unaddress-
ed. 1t read:
This is so I'll never be again.
Ivan's watch is in my purse. I love
you and grandma and Ivan. Sorry
about everything. This is best for

But there was no watch nor mon
ey in the purse. .,

I am the first "rube" to visit
it. I know you will say, what S
it all about and why don't they
pay their teachers?
Well, l am just like you about
the teachers, but this fair is
Just an association, and it S
not the city itself doing it. I
do think it would be a gener-
Gus thing if 1t did make any
money and the teachers hadn't
been paid by then, TO cut them
in on it.
This fair is a tremendous
thing. It would take me a
week to tell you about it. It's
exactly what everybody needs.
People been sitting at home
grouching at each other for
three years. Now don't you
think we have outgrown the
"fairp stage. In the days
when we were a great nation
we enjoyed 'em. Now you can
see the whole thing for so cents,
and the way this Roosevelt is
going, by then we will have the

VICTORY WON
BY PARAGUAY
BY JOHN M. WEBER
United Press Staff Correspondent

ASUNCION, Paraguay, May IL.
An overwhelming Paraguayan
victory in heavy fighting at West
Gondra in the Gran Chaco was
claimed in semi-official an
nouncement today, as all Paraguay
modified to back the government s
formal declaration of war against
Bolivia.
The Bolivian Campero regiment
was virtually annihilated, the an
nouncement said, and a large
quantity of war material was cap
tured
Paraguay civil population,
chatting for months because of al
legged Bolivian aggressions in the
Gran Chaco, hailed the declaration
with delight, apparently unaware
that it made little difference in
the actual relations of two coun-
tries that have been engaged in
sanguinary fighting since last June.
Practically all ParaguayanS of mil
itary age either were in the army
or the reserve, but the declaration
sent a flood of volunteers to re-
cruiting officers.
Paraguayan sources estimated
that 5000 Boliyians and 5000 Par
aguayans had been killed in the
fighting to date. The Paraguayan
wounded totaled 5000, these sourc-
es said, and the number Of missing
or taken prisoner, 5000. The Boil
ivians wounded, missing, and taken
as prisoners of war were estimated
at 10000.
GENEVA. May H. W.P)-A special
meeting of the council of the
League of Nations to take action
on Paraguay's declaration of war
against Bolivia, was recommended
today by the special committee APP
pointed to settle the Gran Chago
dispute. 1t was thought possible
the council would meet Monday.

boarding house boss has all the say.
1t is he who interviews captains and
contracts for the seaman's services.
One fine day the seaman is notified
to report on a certain ship-that is
all The boarding house boss gets
a commission from the captain for
his services in securing such cheap
labor, and of course arrangements
are made that part of the seaman's
salary goes to the boss for cost of
room and lodging while on the beach.
Not One Healthy Child
1t would be an endless task to try
and put workers Red Hook down

story of % p Ave. Statisticians
for the government, seem to have
missed this workers house in the
Red Hook ghetto. Only few weeks
ago physician for the Workers In
ternational Relief examined seventy
five workers children in and around
% P Avenue. Not one healthy
child did he find. Yet the govern
ment gleefully reported that the
health of the workers had shown re-
markable improvement during the
crisis.
If these statisticians walked into
the dirty, wind swept hallway some
December morn, and up the cold
stone stairs into workers tenement
they would see young children, bare
foot, walking on the drafty wooden
floor. Sometimes they would find an
oil heater, but very often not. They
would see school children going to
school on alternate days, because
there is only one pair of shoes be-
tween them.
Perhaps they would prefer to come
around in this murky 100 in the

the Reyes family in a boXed-up flat

TWO more weeks and there will be
another mouth to feed in the
Reyes family on the same meager
food ticket. Last week, Mrs. San
chez, too old and sick to wait weary
hours in front of Home Relief sta
tons, died of hunger. On the fifth
floor, Mrs. Dolores, the only bread
winner for six children and a job
less husband, was fired.
All of these workers live at %
P Avenue. They are Porto Ri
cans, and are distinguished by
having the highest death rate in
New York City. Strange, that Porto

Strange also, that Red Hook

piers where world cargoes load or
unload, should present such pic
ture Of "backwardness," even for an
American community. Scavenger
ships pull out to sea from here,

THE HEALTH OF
PARTY WORKERS
U.-Sleep

What is the most characteristic
physical trait Of Party worker? Is
it color, race, size, weight? No, we
have comrades of all sizes and all
colorS, fat and lean, belonging to
every nationality under the sun. But
there is peculiar aura an indefinite
feeling of fatigue which, besides the
undeniable intellectual appearance,
distinguishes Party comrades from
all others. Yes, nearly all of them
look like Weary Willies" or Tired
Titles" Why?
The first reason is because they do
not sleep enough. This is not the
place to discuss the conditions which
prevent Party comrades from getting
sufficient amount of sleep. Work
during the day in the shop or Office;
Party, union or other organizational
activities in the evening; reading lit
erature and books and cabling late
into the night. Among these activ-
tiles, some are obligatory, others are
voluntary, and quite number of
them are either unnecessary or mis-
directed. All Of them suffer from a
lack of systematic arrangement.
I need not dwell on such an obliga-
tory activity as attending the Unit
meeting. But even here, there is room
for decentralization. There is no
reason whatsoever why the meeting
has to extend beyond 10 o'clock. And
yet, in most units, the session is
rarely adjourned before II, IL and in
some instances o'clock. This not
only prevents any other activity for
that evening, but defeats its own pur-
pose. 1t is we'll known to every in
telligent person that the nervous
system, Ike the muscular system,
cannot stand more than certain
amount of fatigue. 1t is this law of
organic matter which is responsible
for the fact that most shop accidents
occur after o'clock, when the mus
cles and nerves are exhausted.
How much attention can we expect
at a Unit discussion which begins at
II, after hard days work and after
sitting through two hours, at least,
of reports, assignments and sundry
wrangling.

Miners from the Southern Coal
Fields Write the Daily Worker
Organizing Campaign
of UNIV i'm Kentucky
Is Rejected by Miners

by a Mine Worker Correspondent
MIDDLESBORO, Ky Some few
weeks ago, the UNWA started an Or
ganizing campaign here in the fields
At first, w. M. Turnblazer came in
with lot of prosperity bunk The
miners didn't take so we'll to his line,
remembering his betrayals in 1881.
So they began to bring in out
siders from Iowa and other parts of
the country. One in particular I
heard speak, guy by the name of
Crook. He told the miners that by
the first of July, they would be get
ting IS per day, and working 6 hours
per day, and the NRA had given
them right to organize, and Will
liam Green said in short time there
would be millions of men back to
work.
But now it is the middle of August.
The miners are still waiting for
pay day, but it is still around the
corner, and thousands still walking
the roads without jobs and losing
hope in the New Deal.

Woman Workers Among
First Scrabbed in Neev
Deal" Administration
Magazine Article on "The Neglected Women"
Forced to Admit Plight Of Jobless Women, But
Offers False Way Out for Workers

In the September issue of the
Pictorial Review appears an article
called "The Neglected Woman" by
Genevieve Parkhurst, in which she
point out that the crisis has prod
uced such situation among the
women of this country that eff
something is not done for them,
and soon, we shall have not merely
few thousand, but hundreds of
thousands of women depleted in
health and strength and fortitude.
1t is imperative that some heed be
paid to the plight of the forgotten
woman" And further, that accord
ing to recent survey made by
group of special agencies in 500
cities for one day, more than 1884,
600 girls are wandering through
the country without homes or sus-
tenance save for the scarcely adj
equate help which they may re-
ceive from relief or charitable or
CARNATIONS as they drift from one
community to another" This, says
the Travellers Aid Society, may re-
suit in our having a nomadic woman
in this country comparable to the
male hobo.
The only attempt to approach
even the type of so-called "relief"
afforded by the Civilian Conserva-
ton Corps to men is the Camp
Terra for Girls at Bear Mountain,
New York, organized under the
special supervision OF Mrs. Frank
lin D. Roosevelt, which accommodates
so girls at present. Subtract that
number from these $4,000
wanderers" and you will have
some idea of the inadequacy of the
relief that the fourth year of the
crisis has produced.
Married Women Fired
Ever since the figures of unem-
ployment grew to startling proper
lions, the married women have been
the first to be forced off the pay
rolls. Take the married teachers,
for instance. "In many states, by
legislative enactment, teachers have
been ousted for no other reason
that that they were married, no
significance being taken of the fact
that they were the sole support of
their families
Right here, our first woman Sec
rotary of Labor has to admit the
injustice of this situation by saying
THE majority of married women
work for the same reason that
married men work-because their
families need their earnings. The
reason for holding jobs given by
nine out of ten married women
interviewed on the subject in the
Women's Bureau Investigations
may be summarized as follows: To
keep the home and family together
because of the husbands inadequate
wage, his unemployment, his ill
ness or incapacity; to raise the
family's standard of living to the
health and decency basis; to give
the children a better education; to
buy a home or household equip
ment; to pay off doctors or hospital

Mine Wage Rise Lays
Way Behind so Percent
Rise in Store Prices

(By a Mine Worker Correspondent
LOUISE, w. Va.-Louise is min
ing camp, situated twp miles from
Follensbee, W. Va, and three miles
from Mingo Junction, big steel CEN
ter. The mine and the camp are
owned by the Bertha Consumer Coal
Company. Louise Mine started to
work two months ago. 1t was idle
from 1928, more than five years.
Up to the first of the month, the
leaders were getting 26 cents a ton
and day men $3.50. But now the
Slavery Act is in power. From the
first of the month, leaders are get
ting 42c ton, day men $500. But
with an increase of tic a ton, still
leaders can't make more than $1.50
a day, working men in 1 room, 2 on
the day and 2 on the night.
But groceries have increased in
the company store, the only store in
the camp, about 80 per cent. Miners
are not compelled to buy in the COM
pany store, but you can see for your
self. Nobody works here for five
years, no money and the company
store gives credit, so the miners
position compe;s them to buy in COM
pany store, and the company knows
that the houses where the miners
live in this camp are not fit for a
dog, let alone a man.
The U. NJ. W. of A. are in this
camp. At first they tried to split
the miners on the discrimination
point. This mine employed $50 min
ers. About 80 per cent are Negro.
But this tactic meets strong opposi-
ton from the rank and file, and the
National Miners Union membership
have controlled the best fighters of
this camp.
