NEW YORK.-It's the worker who
pays-pays with his own life!
The payment is squeezed out OF
him through the sharpening of the

FIRST COMMUNIST
MAYOR IN OFFICE

CROSBY, Mimi, Jan. 12.-In his
inaugural speech before the opening
session of the Municipal Council and
addressed to his fellow workers who
elected him Mayor, and who filled
the Council chambers, Comrade
Emil Nygard called for militant
struggle on the part of the working
class as the only way out of the
crisis for the masses. He repeated
his pledge to carry out the working
class program of demands on which
he was elected.
You have for the first time in
the history of the United States
elected Communist mayor, "Nygard
declared. For the first time a ma
jority of the workers in an American
city have broken through capitalist
laws, rules, and regulations and
elected revolutionary worker as
mayor. Some day there will be erec-
ted here a monument, not to me, but
to the workers of Crosby, who have
blazed the path along which mill
lions of American workers in thous-
ands of American cities are soon to
follow, the path Of revolutionary
struggle against capitalism of which
parliamentary action is only part.
Nygard sketched the course of the
deepening crisis, and the constantly
increasing misery of masses Of work.
ers through wage cuts and unem-
ployment, and pointed out the neces-
sity of struggle against these condi-
tons.
THE flnanciers and industrialists,
he continued, ARE unconcerned
about the sufferings of the masses.
They will make further attacks upon
the living standards of the workers,
until the workers organize to call a
halt and say We refuse to starve,. "
Nygard appealed to the workers to
organize into the Unemployed Coun-
Gil and formulate their relief de-
mands, and he would give ETHICAL
recognition to their committees. He
also declared immediate steps woulo
be taken to organize a Workers Ad-
visory Council, representing workers
organizations, to meet with him or
questions of policy, and promised to
call frequent mass meetings Of
workers to discuss their problems
with them.
Comrade Nygard will lead a dele
cation of Crosby miners on the State
Hunger March to st. Paul in Feb
rIjarV demanding state aid for tbe
relief of the unemployed workers Of
Crosby, and unemployment insur-
ance.

Meetings
BY our City Events column on the
front page, and Labor Union Meet
ings and What's On columns on
Page Q, we seek to avoid printing
news stories of meetings. Each or
ganization in New York apparently
regards its meeting as the most i'm
portant thing there is, and asks for
news space. Were we to print all
these news stories Of meetings, there
would be no room left for anything
else, the paper would become merely
an advertising sheet, and nobody
would read it. This would defeat even
the purpose of those asking news
space for their meetings. In certain /
extremely important cases only can j
we make exceptions to this rule,

NEW YORK.-"There is only one
shower bath for all of the so people
in our building, and it Is cold water,
one of the tenants striking for cheap
er rents at 18th Street and Avenue A
declared yesterday.
The toilets freeze up when it's
cold. There is no hot water in the
building; mice and rats are running
around everywhere, and our apart
ments are in a terrible state Of dis
repair" the striker said
The landlord sticks some of us as
high as s27 a month for these dumps.
We have to pay our own gas and
electric bills and get our own furni-
ture. We have to buy coal, and even
have to pay for the keys to our doors.
When we ask the landlord to make
some repairs, he always says Yes,
and then when he gets the rent he
forgets all about it.
Sometimes if we pay few dollars
out of our own pockets, we get some
thing done. The average rent for
each apartment here is SIT.
I'VE are striking for a Is per cent
cut in our rents. We asked the land
lord first, and he refused. He
wouldn't listen to US. He just called
us Reds and Communists

room. Separate tables are set for
white nurses and social workers. If
Negro social worker or nurse
should by any chance find herself at
the white table she would be i'm
mediately told that she did not be-
long there.
Splendidly educated and highly
efficient Negro graduate nurses are
placed under the supervision of poor
ly trained and grossly incompetent
white nurses.
Stationary engineers, mechanics,
stenographers, secretaries, telephone
clans and other classes of hospital
operators, elevator operators, dieti-
workers have a representation pre-
ponderantly white.
Only one Negro is en- the Medical
Board of the Harlem Hospital, and
be is the Tammauyite Wright.
What has the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored
People to say about these condi-
tions? Believe it or not, in their
January g release to the newspapers
the N. A. A. G. P. stated that it had
waged a successful struggle ''in Sc
curing wider opportunities for Negro
physicians, surgeons and nurses in
municipal hospitals In New York
City"
Role of N. A. A. c. P.
This sounds still queerer when it
is remembered that the general pol
icy of the N. A. A. c. P. is to suppress
the facts of the worsening conditions
of the Negro peoplpe. But in this
instance, that is merely one reason
why this organization that feeds the
Negro masses capitalist poison in
sugar-c coated words, has not said one
word in protest against the damnable
conditions in Harlem Hospital
The same DR.. Wright, who dis
eliminates against and allows white
inexperienced doctors to operate on
Negro patients is on the Board of
Directors Of the n. A. A. C. P! He
is the close personal friend of
Walter White.
The silence of the N. A. A. c. P
shouts its unity with the Tammany
diScriminators.
Capitalist Unity
Whether the skins Of the Tammany
Tigers offspring, the Negro DR.
Wright and the white DR.. Conner
are white with black stripes or are
black with white stripes, the sur
gical dictators" of Harlem Hospita.
are shrieking examples of the unity
of Negro and white capitalism fol
the oppression of the Negro people.
The League of Struggle for Negro
Rights at so East 18th Street, and
the International Labor Defense of
799 Broadway will lead determined
struggle against discrimination ano
oppression of Negroes in the Harlem
Hospital and against such practices
in all hospitals of the city.

here again today for picketing.
Those involved in the two strikes
in the Brownsville section Of Brooklyn
are offering militant opposition to
the united front of the landlords, the
COPS, the courts and the gangsters
against them. The gas company CO.
operated with Mr.. Friedgood, the
landlord, of 226 Barrett St., and cut
off the gas here also.
But the tenants are now more de-
termined than ever.
At $40 Watkins St., in Brownsville,
squads of police decended upon the
tenants with clubs and cuss words in
order to break their strike. The
workers, under the leadership of the
Brownsville Unemployed Council, GAG
Stone Ave, replied by organizing a
mass picket line. They call for all
Brooklyn workers to come and help
picket every day until victory is won.
500 March
On Wednesday night in the Bronx,
M. Olgin, editor of the Freiheit. spoke
to thousands Of cheering workers at
Ambassador Hall.
More than 500 workers paraded to
hear him. They marched from 1049
Bryant Ave, the strikes on Charlotte
st. and Franklin and Washington
AYES; thence to the hall.
The police tried to stop the parade
on the grounds that the workers had
no permit. But the marchsrs pushed
the cops aside and marched anyway.

(By The City Editor

Some progress has been made
toward developing city edition Of
the Daily Worker; first hand news
has appeared of the main events that
took place during the week such
as the rent strikes, the struggles Of
the needle trades and other unions,
the continuous battle with the Home
Relief for the lives of the workers,
and the opening of the campaign for
big united front state conference
on unemployment and labor legis-
lation.
In addition, special articles have
been printed exposing some of the
looii~ # workers and hypocrisy Of
the employers. Among these were
exposures of the 1. r. T. wage cutting
schemes, the Gibson Committee
swindle, and the ruthless butchery of
Negro worl RS in Harlem Hospital
In the course of developing these
things the national and international
news suffered for lack of space. The
city editors problem now is to find
a way to give the New York read
ers the main stories of the world
struggle against imperialiSt war, the
whole series of actions and impor-
tant developments outside of New
York. Any suggestions will be con-
sidered. In any case, the policy Of
giving as full city news as possible
and continuing exposures must go
on.
More Reporters Needed
Volunteer reporters are still needed,
with also reporters elected from the
mass organizations to be especially
responsible for news of events with
which those organizations are con-
cerned.
Circulation
Arrangements are being made
through the District Daily Worker
Office and city committee to work up
special sales of issues of the paper
in which special stories appear. Or
CARNATIONS of all sorts are invited
to consult with the District Daily
Worker office on these distributions,
and the city editor will cooperate.
Training Reporters
Arrangements have been made for
the journalism class of the workers
School to devote the last half of it's
course to what might be called "lab-
oratory work" in the Daily Worker
offlce; the city editor to assign the
students in groups to important
stories, all to report back to the in
structor, who will hand over the
best of the reports to the Daily
Worker, and hold a discussion on all
of them.

Chang Eyades
In answer to cables from the Anti
Imperialist League, the National
Students League and other workers
protesting against the
brutal torture with red hot irons OF
Huang Ping and demanding his i'm
mediate release from jail, Marshal
Chang Hsiao LANG, dictator of
North China, sent a cable received
Yesterday by the National Students
League. in which he stated:
"Huang Ping arrested by KuO-
mintang Tientsin Branch transfer
red Nankingward for sentence here
no power TO interfere personally
know him well stop In case he
serves faithfully will try to wire
Marking Government for his safety
Chang Hs.ao LANG
This cable, explained the Anti-Im-
eerialist League today, evades the
issue of the torture of Huang Ping,
and also the responsibility for the
arrest of Huang Ping in the terri
tory over which Chang Hsiao LANG
rules. The League insists that Huang
Ping has been faithful to the strug-
gle against imperialism, whereas the
Kuomintang is allied with imperial
ism.
The cable sent to Marshal Chang
Hsiao Liang at Peiping last Saturday
afternoon read as follows: Quarter
million workers students profession
ais demand immediate release Huang
Ping. International Labor Defense.
Trade Union Unity League. Anti
Imperialist League, international
Workers Order. workers Interna-
tional Relief. National Students

Telegrams have been sent to the

by trade unions Among these are

GENEVA, Oct. 6 G.N.S0.-Stil
struggling to obtain arms equal

armament demand which was
transmitted last night to London.
Paris and Rome, it was reliably
reported today.
Although the German delega-

secrecy, it was officially admitted
that counter-propositions to the
arms agreement reached by
France. Britain and the United
States were under consideration
in Berlin.

Germany will insist upon possess

The German counter-move is

the conference will be decided.
