ergies to slanderous attacks against
the Industrial Union. BY devious
methods Of reasoning ne tries to show
that the resolution of the Industrial
Union calling for signatures of work
ers to demand that Section of the
N. r. A. granting workers the right
to select the union of their own
choice be made a reality, is fostering
illusions in the minds of the workers
that their interests can be protected
by the N. r. A. Such deliberate
misinterpretation of the actual intent
of the resolution to serve as an Or
gained protest of the workers, indi-
Gates clearly that Zimmerman and
his cohorts are more intent on Great
ing dissension in the ranks of the
working class than in helping towards
united struggles.
The workers are beginning to see
through this hypocrisy and are COM
ing more and more to recognize the
group that is honestly interested in
exposing the illusions of the N. r. A.
The workers clearly showed this real
ization at the st general member
ship meeting OF Local ~, held at
Cooper Union, when they elected a
worker Of the Left Wing Opposition

the bitter opposition of Zimmerman
and his machine.

Zimmerman is manager of Local

the opportunity of exposing the N. r.

Has Zimmerman explained to the
workers that the dress code, with it's
35-hour week provision, is actually
nullified by granting the bosses six
week overtime period during the
season? Our season.now seldom ever

The code also speaks Of a minimum

other statement which gives the

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
Influence Of General Diseases
on the Eve

Several correspondents have written
us asking for information as to the
relation of the general health to the
eyes and the influence of certain dis
eases on eyesight. We had put these
questions away for some future date,
when we received a philosophical
mote" eight pages of small script
from lady, in which she asserts that
the eye has no relation whatsoever
to the rest of the body, that it is ''the
window of the soul" and that no dis
ease Of the rest of the body could
affect it in any way, as long as the
soul" remains pure.
We are no authority either on phil
osophy or the soul, aid we, therefore,
refuse to enter into any discussion of
the usual metaphysical piffle, but we
do know that there are many condi-
tons Of the rest of the body which
influence the eye, as well as the eye
sight, and we shall draw attention
briefly to some of them:
Diet, Lack of vitamin Att has
been observed in man and demon
strated experimentally in laboratory
animals that the lack of vitanin A in
the diet will cause a disease of the
eye known as Xeropl1tflalrlia and in
changes of the optic nerve. To avoid
this, q certain amount of butter is
added to the diet, even if the patient
is obese.

DAILY WORKER DRIVE Is A
DRIVE AGAINST ONSLAUGHTS
OF CAPITALISM
ON THE DAILY WORKER
Newark, N. J.
Comrade Editor:

newark, N. j.
Con1rade Editor:
My heartiest CONGRATULATIONS on
the new and greater Daily Worker.
Although, to me, the New York Times
has always been in a second place to
our Daily, with the new Daily Worker
1t has been relegated to fourth place:
the Daily Worker taking the first
three. Comrade Mike Colds Column,
DR.. Luttinger's advice, and the many
other new features are q valuable adj
ditton, and give the Daily Worker q
much greater appeal to the masses,
1t IS definite and significant change
from our sectarianism of the past.
The Daily Worker, as the Central
Organ Of the Communist Party of
the U.S.A., Is the spearhead in our
drive against capitalism. The Daily
Worker is in the forefront in the
workers struggle for unemployment
Insurance and relief; in strikes; in
the struggle for Negro rights; in the
tight against fascism and war, and
Is the advance party in our fight
against the N.RA. and Roosevelt's
Hunger Policy. The Daily Worker is
that essential coordinating and uni
flying agent of all these struggles TAX
ing place on far flung fields, and
guides them into that ever widening
channel of class struggle which must
burst forth into revolution. It is
the beacon light to which we can
look in this period of capitalist bank
ruptcy and decay, and see clearly that
revolutionary road which we must
travel in order to get to that new
social order and that new world to
which the proletariat will give birth.
Enclosed you will ind SO for am
nnunition in our further and invinci-
bic onslaught Of capitalism. Whether
to give 1t to Mike, and help the mind
and spirit, or whether to credit it
to DR.. Luttinger and favor the body
Is q serious problem. But IS a sound
mind In g sound body Is necessary
IN our struggle / will have to split
and vote. One dollar to Mike (this
even though he attends dance mara
thons and live burials), and one dol
lar to the Doctor, who is striving
hard to protect US from quacks and
expensive doctor bills. May both
reach their goals.
Although I would like to have a
"Burck" In my home I do not feel
quite up to the financial responsibility
just yet. Perhaps in the near future
might be able to make q serious
bid for one.
We cannot let our Daily Worker
Yalter at time when we are fighting
some OF our most important battles
and gain some of our greatest VIC
tories. An Support to the Daily
Worker.

RayOn Workers
Sentiment Rising
For Struggle
5000 in Petersburg
Now Members of
Union
By q Worker Correspondent

PARKERSBURG, w. va.-Just
writing few lines to you on the
question of the newly formed un-
len, 1.-THE Rayon Workers Union"
There are approximately 5000 mem
bers in this union here in Parkers-
burg. 1 attended the last meeting,
Wed, Nov, g. having just arrived
here from johnson City, Tenn.
The sentiment of the workers is
rapidly ripening for 20 per cent
Increase in pay, and it is on this
point which l wish to dwell. 1t is
my opinion that demand for this
above increase in pay will be met;
however, it may be necessary for
the membership to exhibit their
determination to struggle, yes, and
strike, If necessary.
Being familiar with the situation,
and realizing that much preparatory
work must be done, it is necessary
that all radical elemental forces
work together. I am willing to CO.
operate with any contacts that you
may know Of.
1t Is quite possible that very
shortly the entire rayon industry
will become organized, and this
makes it doubly important that eff
forts be made to set UP militant
nuclei in all sections. We do not
want recurrence of what occurred
in Elizabethton, Tenn, in 1929.

program and leadership Nov, those
who have got far enough SO that
thew can see that they are victims
Of the system can be organized into
the Party. Having recognized this
fact, l have gone among the farm
erS and have worked to organize as
much as possible for the United
Farmers League and have also or
ganized seven or eight farm units of
the Party, but all with the same
results, namely, that they have
either broken down completely, or
have just ceased to function, which
is practically the same thing. Now
I notice that each farm unit has the
same complaint to make. First, that
they receive no help in any way
from the district, no directiyes, no
helpful letters, no instructions how
to carry on work, no decisions as to
what they should discuss at meetings.
Secondly, that they only receive let
tsrs asking for money or impossible
quantities Of literature to distribute,
There seems to be no real under
standing of the farmers problems
such as the following:
First that he cannot pay his taxes,
Interest or irrigation charges Sec
end, that in 50 per cent of the cases
the farmer has a hard time to sup
port his family and still keep his
home Third. that the nature of his
work demands that he work u and 16
hours q day on his arm, esDecialIv
in irrigated farming districts. Fourth,
that members Of a farm unit often
live a distance of 6 to 10 miles from
each other and this means that he
must keep a car and buy gasoline in
order to get to his meetings. Fifth.
in many homes, some member or all
nle'-'Ecrs Of his fsr7ilv pre- opposed
20 his belonginL TO the Party. This,
Of course, makes it difficult for him.
Then the farmer is not on city
streets, where he can walk a few
blocks and get to Parry meeting;
to taSe time of during the day or
in the evening to distribute litera-
turer or leaflets.
The farmer seldom, if ever, sees

prevents him from going several

These facts must he taken into con-

alton on foot. The Yakima Valley
roughly speaking, has q, population
of 100000. There are no organizers
in the Wenatchee Valley, which is
almost as large. So that it seems
to me that We should do our level
best to organize among farmers and
especially help those of the farmers
who are already organised. I know
it is a hard problem, but certainly
something must be done.
The above letter certainly discloses
what tremendous possibilities there
are for building the revolutionary
mass movement and our Party in the
rural communities, everywhere in this
country. On the other hand, this
letter calls cur attention to the fact
that our Party Districts are still to
a great extent neglecting the work
in the countryside and are not Civ
ing comrades, who are willing to do
this work, adequate help and guild
ance. Recent incidents in the va
kima Valley, where agents of the
provoked a fight between
agricultural workers and small ruined
farmers, in order to make terroristic
attacks against both groups brutal
beating Of the UFL. state organizer,
Boskaljon), certainly must be a les
son for our Party, to pay more at
tentton to the work in the country
side, and educate both agricultural
workers and ruined farmers to the
need Of solidarity and the common
action Of struggle against their OPP
p-essors.
We have referred the above letter
to the Agrarian Commission of the
Party which will provide material for
the courade. But this is not enough.
The Seattle District Buro of our
Party must certainly help this and
other comrades and give proper guild
ance for building the mass movement
and the Party among the radicalized
ruined farmers in the State Of Wash
ington.

years work in the mines, had to go
to work at an early age, to help sup
port his family.
Her first day in the Philip Jones
1hirt factory amounted to 80 cents for
two weeks. Later she earned $3.50 for
two weeks, and after one year in the
mill, the highest pay she ever earned
was $40 for two weeks. "Tllis is con-
sidered good wages" said Irene. In
this mill there are 3S5, mostly young
girls, children of miners like herself,
and most of them don't earn any
more than what Irene did. And they

About two months ago, representa-

and told them they are going to or

This was followed by speech deliv-

NEW YORK. 49, The $4,000 Daily

New York District, however, account

increase before and during the Ma
tional Daily Worker Tag Days, which
start on Nov. "a for, three days, 1t
is expected will be shown by prac-
tically all districts and organizations.
The chart as of Nov. 10 shows that
Boston is within hand reach Of full
filling its quota 100 per cent. But
Boston does not intend to stop. 1t
will make all efforts to Ut least double
its original quota, Deettle is second
with percente j. of 1874 per cent,
and California third with 1928 per

Improvement by. New York
New York turned in during the

total to date to $2,335.22 or 29,9 per
cent Of It's $4,000 quota. The TWO.
can do much better than this. In
the last Drive 1t was one of the lead
ers, showing what its membership
can do if they take vigorous action.

Detroit, Section z, slowed down,
compared with the previous half
week. Section 8, of Hamtranck,
Sections 5, 8 and Of Detroit, and
Flint, Mich. Section, however, COM
pletely fulfilled their quotas. The
Finnish Workers Association, the
Greek Workers Club and the Jewish
Women's Council of Detroit are well
on the way to make it 100 per cent.
More work like this by other sections

but will pass it.
Chicago Wake Up
Chicago, District 8, by sending in
only S340S in the last half week,
