| Worked $3.50 With
No Lunch at ChiIdS
on Thanksgiving
(By a Food Worker Correspondent

NEW YORK Thanksgiving
Day I worked from a. M. to $50 p.
m. at Childs Restaurant, 1851 Broad
way, without anything to eat or a
rest period Every other girl that
came in on the same shift had moth
ing to eat or rest either. Saturday
worked from 80 &. m. to 9 .. m,
with a half hour off for lunch. They
have absolutely been without enough
help these last days.
Girls who work in that place for
breakfast, which means Z or a. m.
to 2:30 p. m, get 10 minutes for their
own breakfast, but a half hour gets
taken out of their pay. There Us diff
ferent side work to be done by wait
reSses. One or two girls have to
come in a half hour before their
time to cut butter, but they never get
paid for this half hour.

Eyes and Skin Are
Burned by CreoSOte
Paint on Pipe Line
(By a Worker Correspondent

DENVER, Colo.-During the month
Of October, 1888, worked on pipe
line job at Hosington, Kansas. Wher
arrived there on the first of October
heard that the Truman Smith Con-
struct,on Co. Of Eldorado, Kansas
was going to buy fifty miles OF
eighteen-inch gas line from Olinits to
Cushion using HoSington as a base
of operations, as it is about midway
between the two towns.
1t was several days before the pipe
line company was ready to hire any
men, but every morning before seven
there was crowd of one hundred
to three hundred men around the
Ford garage which was the head
quarters Of the pipe line company.
Whenever John Thompson, the
pipe line superintendent, put in his
appearance they nearly mobbed him.
He could hardly get around because
they pressed so close upon him beg
sing to be put on.
After about three days of this they
sent out two paint gangs of about
two dozen men each. It is necessary
t. paint the pipe With thick coat
OF creosote paint to protect it from
moisture in the ground. 1t is al
ready painted to be sure when it
comes from the factory, but that is
not enough.
Little did those men for the most
part know or realize the effects Of
creosote paint on the skin when
Thompson told them to climb on the
two trucks waiting to take them out
on the Ane, but the next day they
knew what it would do. Though
they put lots of cold cream and vase
line on their faces the next day it
did not seem to do much good, be-
cause their faces kept right on burn
ing and blistering.
However the men on the paint
gangs we're lucky compared to the
men they sent out on the cleaning
gang. About twelve inches on the
the pipe Us joined together and ready
to lower into the ditch. The work of
the cleaning gang was to take steel
brushes and scrub the ends of the
pipe to remove the rust and any paint
happened to have been Sneared on
the implanted ends.
The scrubbing of the pipe made the
rust dust and paint dust fly in the
air and in the faces of the men
doing the cleaning. About the second
day the men began to have trouble
with their eyes. They began to burn
very, very badly, to swell up TILL they
could hardly get them open. Every
thing looked foggy to them, and pus
was running from the corners of their
eyes. They suffered terribly from the
burning of the creosote in the paint
and they looked about one hundred
times as bad as person suffering
from hay fever.
After they had a whole gang OF
about two dozen men incapacitated
because Of their eyes, the pipe line
company ordered bunch Of goggles
% protect the eyes Of the others from
the dust.
I do not know how these men got
clong or how much damage was done
to their eyes because I left them soon
! afterward.

PROF. FRANKWOOD WILLIAMS
AND THE MIRACLE OF
HISTORY
e. DR.. HARRY NJ. TOOZAN

By Dr.. HARRY NJ. TOOZAA
In q book called New Russia b.
Prof. Jerome Davis Of Yale University,
who visited the Soviet Union many
times during the past year, are reports
Of twelve American professors Of sew
eral colleges and different depart
ments OF study.
Prof. FrankWood Williams, Amer
lean psychiatrist and president OF the
American Association Of Mental Hy-
giene, writes that he entered the land
Of the Soviets with the usual preju-
dices, but soon received e shock that
woke him up from an ingrained snob-
Dish Yankee superiority complex.
The lunatic asylunns were receiving
fewer and fewer patients, were getting
more and more empty every year. He
knew well enough that in the United
States the state hospitals were over
crowded; state funds could not be
raised fast enough to build new hospi-
tails for the ever-increasing flow Of
the victims Of the strenuous life Of
capitalism, of the unbearable stress of
the struggle for mere existence.
Then came the second shock, the
Miracle of History" Prostitution is
practically nquidated in Soviet Russia.
After this discovery the professor
began to feel real respect for the
new Communist civilization. At last,
in 5000 years of written history, the
insoluble problem Of prostitution, with
its plague Of venereal diseases, has
been proven to be purely economic
problem, one Of the many evils of
poverty.
Under the Communist regime all
young men and women get married,
because they want to and because
they can. Gerry simple. No 100000
single men, going around single for
decades, and no 100000 single
women, as in this country: the first
army supporting the white slave traf-
fic for the profit of famous class Of
business men, the second supporting
the billion-dollar cosmetic industry
The first causing and spreading an
ocean of disease, Gripping and suffer-
ing; the second wasting billion dol
.ars on "sex appeal" childish delu-
sions, only degrading the dignity of
noble womanhood.

ALL THE COMFORTS or
CAPITALISM FOR noes

Have you a nice white Sealyham
terrier or a Daschund or perhaps
Just an ordinary Bronx cheese hound
that needs a nice comfy bed? If so,
r. H Mays, Americas great cut
rate department store, is offering for
sale this week nice comfortable
Morris chair which can be converted
into lovely bed for the small sum
.of S4.67.
How much more pleasant to have
one Of these than to have your pet
climbing all over your bed at night.
Colors are offered in rust, green and
blue to match the bedroom. Just in
case the mutt gets hungry and you
don't have q nice juicy bone handy
(haVe used the last one to make soup
for dinner, Macy's is offering nice
chocolate covered bones for the meas
ly sum of 10 cents each. Such is
the manner in which dogs are being
cared for while the body is sleeping
in an old soap box or perhaps the
laundry basket. Under this system
human beings can starve to death or
go without a place to sleep but our
poor dumb pets must be taken care
OF.

EXPELLED FOR IRRESPON-
SIBILITY

Jack Bernstein, Of Chicago, Ill, has
been expelled by the Red Front Fight
ers League of Chicago as an unre-
liable, careerist and opportunist in
dividual. He has proved himself also
irresponsible in financial matters in
that he has misused the funds of the
Red Front.
He claims he was formerly of the
Young Communist League of New
York and was transferred to Evans
vile, Ind, but the New York District
reports that they have not had any
one in their district with that name.
He came to Chicago from Evansville
in order to attend the Chicago Work
ers School, which he has not attended.
Many workers and working class
organizations who formerly have ap-
preached this comrade for informa-
ton in regard to the Red Front are
told to sever relations with this I'M
reliable individual as far as the Red
Front goes and II you are looking for
information go to the proper author
tiles.
We warn all organizations to which
he claims connections with to keep
a good eye on this individual in re-
CARDS to financial connections.
He has constantly approached var
ious workers and perhaps workers
organizations for financial support
for the Red Front, and we therefore
warn all workers and working class
organizations not to accept this COM
rade or any other outsiders and to
expose them unless they have proper
credentials or proper authority.

Correction

Correction
In the article How to Live q
Thousand Years." slight error has
occurred. The drinking Of wine and
beer will not increase the chances Of
becoming a Methuselah, although
many centenarians, when interviewed
by an enterprising reporter, have
claimed that they owe their longevity
to drinking whiskey and smoking
cigars. There are just as many who
claim the contrary. 1t depends more
on the reporters or the newspapers
views on the alcohol question than
ON actual facts.

Since 1t represents the working class
it is our paper.
We have already started Women's
Club which gave a tea party and
raised in this way So for the Daily
Worker $4,000 fund. We ask other
working class women in our territory
and elsewhere to also form Women's
Clubs and hold similar affairs to help

camps within week, each camp ac-
commodating 2l2 boys. forest and Army
officials of California are driving ahead
to keep abreast of the youthful invasion
generated by President Roosevelt's con-
Servation program.
Approximately 12,300 of the tenta-
lively projected 5000 enrollments from
the Central West and other points were
recorded with the arrivol Of contingents
from Fort Knox, KY.
This brought the total to around
24,000, including the enrollments from
California. More than IL 500 of these
are already out in the forests and the
others in concentration and training
posts
To combat homesickness and at the
same time increase the efficiency of the
young workmen, the Regional Forest
Service, under the direction of S. B.

conservation work, is preparing hand

kinds of construction work have been
outlined.
Scarcity of available seedlings and
shoots would not permit the plsnting
of any great amount of denuded for
