Food Trusts Sell
Diseased Meat; Vile
Working Conditions

Many workers will remember
the exposures by Upton Sinclair
in his book THE Jungle" The
book brought into stark relief the
vile conditions for workers in the
meat industry. the diseased meats
sold to workers., and forced a
reform" act, the Meat Inspection
Law, to be passed in 1905.
Today, about 81 years later, the
Consumers Research a paper
published for the bourgeois trade
and mot for general release to
the public" carries the following
interesting information in the
January, 1888, issue:
Is. E. :. The Federal Government
does not have adequate funds for
the work of inspecting chickens
before canning. Some of the
firms which have their chickens
passed by the U. S. Department OF
Agriculture, themselves pay the
wages of the inspectors O. =.
There is good reason to believe
that as to sanitary quality and
disease conditions, poultry pack
ing and marketing operations are
today about in the condition the
meat industry was before Upton
Sinclair published "The Jungle"
and before the Meat Inspection
Act was passed in 1906"
Does this need any further ex-
PLANTATION?

Picket 226 Barrett
Street Today; Defy
Epstein's Threat

NEW YORK.-The conference of
the rent strikers of 226 Barrett st.
and the landlord ended without a
satisfactory decision because the
landlord refused to return the evicted
tenant. President Epstein, of the
Landlords Association, a Socialist"
threatened to come Monday morning
to eYict another tenant. And con-
tinued Epstein, IF there will be any
resistance heads will be split"
At demonstration Saturday night,
500 strikers and synpathizers, pledg-
ed to resist further evictions, and
call on all workers to assist them this
morning at am. to prevent the
threatened eviction.
Workers at 1874 Berrett St.. a few
doors away, have also organized their
house and will also strike for lower
rents unless their demands are ac-
cepted by the landlord.

Emergency Work Buro
Calls Cop to Throw
Out Unemployed Girl
(By An UnemploYed Office Morkerl

(By An Unemployed Office Worker)
NEW YORK.-When I registered
at the Emergency Work Bureau, I
was shown lot of sympathy because
was wearing torn summer shoes
and snow was on the ground at that
time. I was asked my life history
in about three different places
where l worked, where I was born,
how many months I owed for rent
land they informed me also that
they do not pay any rent), etc. They
gave me a food ticket, a pair Of
goloshes my shoes are still torn and
turned out so that I can't even walk,
and dollar.
With the food ticket I got mostly
all canned stuff (pork and beans,
canned meat, etc. which made me
very sick. Now they gave me place
to sleep and eat with rs cents car
fare for a week. This was Thurs
day.
Well, rs cents certainly cannot last
whole week when you have to go
from place to place to look for
Jop, since tne 10p they promised me
isn't even in view.
went up there and asked for
more carfare to look for a job and
told Miss Durkin that 1 spent my rs
cents for tooth paste, towels, soap,
etc. She answered that she couldn't
do anything more for me, but gave
me dime when I became insistent.
This dime is supposed to last me for
fare until Thursday flour days., so
I refused to take it. Thereupon this
dignified Miss Durkin called up for
cop. Being a member of the Y.CL.,
1 knew it was useless for me to carry
on a struggle by myself, so I went
up to the Unemployed Office Work
ers' Association and we are going up
in an organized group-with other
girls who have been treated even
worse than I have been by the
E.W.B.-and we DEMAND, Miss Dur
kin, that you give us ST day which
your committee collected from poor
workers like myself.

NEW RUSSIAN FILM SHOWS THE
EMANCIPATION OF THE

The aspirations of the new Soviet

machine away from the brink of a

injured. When the party functio-
naries arrive Mashka is first suspect
ed of sabotage. However, her inten-
ton is explained and she is recon-
mended for study at the tractor
school.
Here the burocrat makes his ap-
pearance. Lazy and inefficient he re-

vacuum pump. Unable because of
her ignorance OF machinery, he or

he claims, she belongs. Undaunted
Mashka steals the instruction book
and over her cooking pots and babys

The kulak sensing the threat OF
collectiyization orders his wife to
arouse the housewives against the
plan. Here one sees the old life with
the husband as master. The wife
fawns over her husband through
years of compulsion and the children

tears she explains that she fixed the
tractor, is forgiven and again sent to
the tractor school.

.Lenin Meetings
Hear NeqU Songs
and Fine Pageant

NEW YORK. The pageant
"Lenin and the Masses shown al
both Lenin Memorial Meetings and
arranged by the League of workers
Theatres and Workers Dance Coun-
Gil was a brilliant success and marks
step forward for this type of ac-
tivity.
The pageant shows Lenin agitating
among the slaves of capitalism, build
ing corps of organizers even while
in exile, sending them out for further
work, and issuing his famous slogan,
Turn Imperialist War Into Civil
War" during the world slaughter.
Lenins death is symbolized by the
salute by red banners, and after a
moment of dismay, Lenins trained
organizers carry on to the building
Of Socialism in the Soviet Union and
the revolution against capitalism in
other countries-the Socialists trying
to sabotage all through.
The massed choruses of the Work
ers Music League. hundreds of voices,
were well trained. Some of the cid
revolutionary songs and three new
ones were given. The Song of
Wrath" by Szabo, Hungarian prole-
tartan, begins;
End, end, end their rule

Workers, let us remember
"Sacco- YanEetti, ScottSboro case"
Another song, stand Guard" is by
Lain Adounyan, we'll known for his
work with the WI.R. Band and other
proletarian music organizations.

tlonary movement and an enemy OF
the Soviet Union"
The expulsion followed the publ.
cation in the capitalist press of a
letter Harrison had sent to the New
Masses, resigning as contributing
editor Of the magazine on the ground
that " had become the "servile
mouthpiece of the Stain apparatus. -
In his letter he exploits the suicide
Of Trotsky's daughter to make a
vicious attack on the Soviet Union
and calls "for an organized protest
against the reign of terror which is
now going on in Russia"
Notorious Adventurer
Harrison is notorious literary and
political adventurer who has recent
ly been one of the star hired men of
the yellow Hearst press and has been
intimately associated with another
literary racketeer, V. F. Calverton,
around whom all sorts Of renegades
and enemies of the Communist Party
have grouped themselves.
In expelling him, the John Reed
Club issued a statement, signed by
Harry Alan Potamkin, executive sec
rotary, declaring:
"At the moment when the armies
Of Japanese imperialism are pressing
on towards the Soviet border and
world imperialism is mcbilizing pub
lie opinion to support its anti-Soviet
drive. Mr.. Harrison comes out with
his slanderouS attack on the U.S.S.R.

Harrison is not very original. He is
merely echoing the Archduke Cyril,
Pope Plus of Rome. Alexander Ker-
ensky Hamilton Fish and the lead
ers of the Second (Socialist) Inter
national.
Joins Enemies of U. S. S. n.
IN utilizing the death of Trotsky's
daughter, which TrotSky has ex-
plotted for his own political ends,
Mr.. Harrison is simply taking this
opportunity to join openly the en-
emies of the Soviet Union. In attack
ing Stain, leader Of the oppressed
masses Of the world, MIR. Harrison is
trying to conceal the real object of
his attack the Workers and Peas
ants Republic. The John Reed Club
has therefore decided to expel from
its ranks Charles Yale Harrison as
a deserter from the revolutionary
movement and an enemy of the
Soviet Union"
The New Masses, in its reply to
Harrison, stated in part:
"Tile New Masses is not the 'servile
nouthpiece' Of any apparatus The
New Masses is a cooperative organ
of writer's and artists interested in
the revolutionary movement, as dis
tinguished from Mr.. Harrison. who.
it now appears, is chiefly interested
in his own literary career.
