A CORRECTION

A serious typographical error
was made In the report in the
Daily Worker of Aug. 3, of the
nomination of Robert Miner for
Mayor of New York City in the
coming election. As result the
statement of the District Com
mittee of the Communist Party
announcing the nomination was
made to read as follows:
"Fhe Socialist Party fights
neither for the immediate needs
of the working class nor for So
c'alism. While using the word
Socialism 1t is the bitteTest
enemy of Socialism. The Com
munist Party is fighting against
the Union of Socialist Soviet Re
publies.'
This paragraph should have
read:

FIGHTS NEITHER FOR THE
IMMEDIATE NEEDS OF THE
WORKING CLASS NOR FOR
SOCIALISM. WHILE USING
THE WORD SOCIALISM, 1T is
THE BITTEREST ENEMY OF
SOCIALISM AND THE ALLY

CROSS BURNED AT

DEFENSE WITNESS
Atlanta Ku Klux Khan
In Tefrorization
Campaign

ATLANTA, Ca, Aug. 3.-The
Ku Klux Khan last night burned a
fiery cross before the home of Mr..
and Mrs. Walter E. Washburn, ac-
tive members of the Provisional
Committee for the Defense of Angelo
Herndon.
The cross, brought in limousine,
was brazenly carried outside of the
car, and set down in the driveway
before the house. Before departing
the X. K. K. Committee left Khan
leaflets, warning the Washburns not
to continue their activity on behalf
of Herndon, the young Negro or
ganizer who faces 18 to 20 years on
Georgia chain gang.
Both Washburn and his wife have
been active in the defense of Hern-
don. Washburn has spoken at mass
meetings of Negro and white work
ers, demanding the youths release.
Both declare that they will not be
intimidated by the Khan threats and
will continue their activity on behalf
of Herndon. The Provisional Com
mittee is now in the midst of a cam
paign to raise $1,000 to carry the
Herndon appeal to the Georgia Su-
preme Court,

Nv PASCUAL

NEW YORK. - Deserted by her
husband, forced into a life of misery
in attempting to support her baby,
Denny Rojas, 20, unemployed, took
the elevator yesterday to the 18th
floor of So W. 38th st. and jumped
off the roof to her death.
She left this note:
"Dear Mother: Pardon me; but my
life is impossible. ! am disgraced
woman in this world. l don't want to
know anything else. Take care of
my daughter, Denny Rojas."
Her husband, Alejo Rojas, left her
2 months ago, and together with her
3-year-old daughter she went to live
with her mother at Cd E. 10th st.
Her mother was receiving $3.50 a
week from the Home Relief Bureau.
She had 5 other mouths to feed.
A month ago the mother received
disposses notice. She became fran
tie. Nobody is working; the Home
Relief Bureau refuses to satisfy the
disposses, what can be done? Denny
found work.
When interviewed, no one of the
family or the sobbing relatives
crowded into the small rooms, knew
where she worked. Some said she
was a dressmaker, others milliner.
As the questions were being asked,

over $4,000, 900 in loans at the COM
pany commissaries during that year
alone. If this $500 600 and the other
equally large sums advanced by other
steel companies are checked off the
wages of the workers, when they are
re-employed purchasing power will
be kept down to the benefit of divi-
dend and interest payments. The
union proposes immediate abolition
Of all debts owing by workers to COM
pany eommissaries, and transference
Of these commissaries to the collec-
tive ownership of the workers ac-
cording to plan which the union
will present in detail.
Stock Purchase Plans
These plans, which are in force
in companies employing at least 70
per cent of the workers in the indus
try, are voluntary only in name. The
union demands the immediate aboli-
ton of all such plans as being con-
trary to the best interests of the
workers and involving them in specu-
lation to their own detriment and
for the benefit of the companies.
Pensions and Group Insurance
The union maintains that group in
surance is, in practice, compulsory
insurance. Because of the fact that
group insurance and pension plans
afford protection to the worker only
SO long as he continues to be en-
ployed by the same company, and be-
cause this protection is highly un-
certain and depends entirely on the
arbitrary decision Of the manage
ment. the union objects strenuously
to all forms of X company insurance
and pension plal and demands their

NEW YORK, August 3.-Nearly 300
families have been served with dis

tate. promoters. According to social

interviewed behind the steel wire
grating which protects his office,
Joseph Schroeder, agent Of the French
Company, asserted that mo one in
Knickerbocker Village will be eVieted. +"
When asked what the purpose Of
the very expensive and CURLY explicit
dispossess notices was, he answered,
That's just to get rid of undesir-
ables." To the suggestion that he
define "undesirables" he made no re-
Spouse. Unemployed" was what he
probably meant.
And unemployment is rampant in
this fifteen acres slum district on the
waterfront between Brooklyn and
Manhattan bridges. Practically none
of the men and boys work and the
six, seven dollar weekly wage of the
women who toll in the sWeatshops
automatically disqualifies them from
any aid by the Home Relief Bureau.
Only about eighty of the families on
the verge of eviction receive the mis-
erably meager municipal charity
Unfamiliar with the organization
and militant activities of the Unem-
ployed Councils which fight evictions
by carrying back the furniture if 9TH
er means fail, these workers banded
together spontaneously to form a
Committee on Unemployment. They
went to the Hamilton House deter
mined to fight the eviction orders
and exerted sufficient pressure to
cause a soft-soap conference between
representatives of the French Com
pany, and the Hamilton and Lavan-
burg Houses, social work agencies
both.
Mo one will be evicted in Knick-
erbocker Village" repeated Mr.
Schroeder.
Fred F. French secured ownership
of the sector through a combination
of secret organization, dummy COM
panies and chicanery that is a saga
of modern real estate" He was go
ing to demolish the ancient tene-
ments and build a walk-to-work COM
munity for working people of mod
crate means"
He is finding out that working peo-
pie of moderate means can't even
afford his windowless, yernin filled,
outhoused ratholes. But he'll be
damned if he's going to lose money
on the proposition.

abolition. At the same time the
union stresses the necessity for gen.
uine protection against the hazards
OF old-age and ill-health and de-
mands that scheme be Immediately
evolved which shall provide genuine
social insurance for all steel workers
on a national scale, paid by the fed
eral government and the employers.
The code should contain recognition
OF this principle and statement of
the intention of all parties to work
for its realization.
Specifically and Immediately the
code must provide that all collec-
tons inside the plants by company
or outside agents for welfare" and
charity" purposes and all forced de-
auctions for company welfare and
other organizations be immediately
forbidden.
Skill and Promotion
Highly skilled jobs are disappear
ing from the steel industry. At the
same time the average (median) age
of workers In the industry has in
creased from about 33M years in 1910
to about 36ia years in 1890. Older
workers have great difficulty in get
ting hired, especially in plants in
which they have never worked be-
fore, Some companies say that they
do not have an age limit in hiring.
The union charges that most if not
ali Of the big companies do have
such an age limit, and that older
workers have been laid off just be-
fore they became eligible for pen
sions under the company pension
schemes.
For all these reasons, the problem

Steel Toevns Deny Workers Rights; Stores Rob Them

THE following is the second in
stailment of some of the facts pre-
scented to the hearings on the steel
code by John Meldon, secretary of
the Steel and Metal Workers In
dustrial Union. The first INSTALL
ment dealt with wages and hours,
as well as speed-up. The present
article exposes the terror in the
company towns ruled by the steel
trust.
Company Towns
Right of entry to all steel towns
for union organizers Or anyone else
must be established Immediately.
Examples of towns where union Or
ganizers have not been permitted in
the past are Alliquippa, Pa; Weir
ton, w. Va, and Westfield, Ala. In
some towns, as for example, ALI
quippa, the expulsion of union or
ganizers is perfectly illegal. In 9TH
ers, claimed by the steel companies
as private property, such expulsion
would probably be upheld by the
courts, although it is plain violation
of elemental human rights. The code
should contain enforceable provisions
for opening up closed company towns
and for the transference to the coll
lective ownership of the workers of
all company houses. The union has
detailed proposals as to how these
provisions could best be carried out.
Company Stores
Investigation has shown that prices
in company commissaries average
higher than prices in the same type
of private store. Furthermore, many
iron and steel workers have run so
deeply into debt to the company
commissaries that 1t will take them
years to pay off their debt unless
some provision is made for cancelling
part or all of it. The annuel report
of the U. s. Steel Corporation for
1882 shows that this company claims
to have advanced to its employees
