DOES RHEUMATIC

YOU CRAZY?

You cannot hope to get lasting
relief from cruel, crippling rheu-
matte aches and pains if you are
slave to laxative drugs.
Medical authorities make no Sc
cret of the fact that often sluggish
bowels contribute the pOisons and
acid conditions which result in pain
full, swollen, infamed limbs and
joints. You must stop these poisons
at the source.
The Cream Of Nujol treatment
does this at a cost of only a few
cents a day. Doctors specially rec
ommend this new form of Nujol
treatment for those suffering from
rheumatic conditions. Cream of
Nujol lubricates laxative-dried bow
els, gives them new elasticity and
activity, so that poisonous wastes
are thrown off daily by natural
peristaltic action. The new harm
less Cream of Nujol treatment will
make you regular as clockwork and
will not interfere with your work or
your play. Moreover, it is delicious
and easy to take. Get Cream of

NEWARK, N. J.-There are las

cent IF the same. they have laid off
practically 80 per cent of the help
which was originally employed. We
were working 70 hours per week and
on the go all day.
Their way of laying off the men
is to tell them that they must take
a cut in wages after working for as
little as SIS, $lS and 500 per week,
The 80 per cent which were laid off
were replaced by men and girls rang
ing from IS to $l2 per week.
AS to the Negroes we were ordered
to ignore them when they came in,
overcharge them and insult them, SO
they would get discouraged and not
come into the place any more. Also

Rent Striker Relates
Her Impressions After
Winning Reductions
By RENT STRIKER

NEW YORK. - Organization has
brought a great change in the life
of our house. For me it is almost UNI
believable that such changes could
take place in such short time. When
we first conceived the idea of or
ganizing our tenants we were maj
with many obstacles. The rents were
high, and every tenant was eager to
have his rent reduced, but the
thought prevailed that this reduction
could be obtained through approach
to the landlord.
Many tenants approached the
landlord for individual reductions in
rent, with the result that they we're
told by the landlord to move
to cheaper quarters, which, however,
are nowhere available. They soon
realized that only through organiza-
ton could they obtain their demands.
We called meeting of all the ten
ants with the aid of the Block Com
mittee. We worked out our demands,
each tenant participating and pre-
sented them to the landlord. We have
won reduction in rent but the most
important gain l consider is the SOL
idarity and organization OF the ten
ants. Today our house is a changed
house, each of the 20 tenants are SOL
idly organized.

For the past several years of the

$4,000 Youth

NEW YORK.-The national head
quarters of the Workers Ex-service-
mems League has issued a statement
denouncing the new plan to conscript
$4,000 homeless young workers for
war purposes. The statement declares
in part:
'"The bosses see the coming war
and are preparing for 1t. With $4,000
additional trained men to irnmedi-
ately throw into the trenches, the
war preparations assume more con-
creteness. This forcs the necessary
addition to the First Line Troops

for actual hostilitieS will take place.
THE Workers Ex-Servicemen's
League calls upon all youth organiza-
tons, groups, etc, to organize to
combat this move on the part of the
bosses. We, who are the veterans of
the last imperialist slaughter, call
upon all workers and true fighters
against imperialist war to rally to
the support of the youth anti-war
groups and, forming a huge united
movement, organize to defeat the
war plans of the bosses"

protest to the state banking Off
Gals and to Governor Lehman.
Mr.. Untermyer tried to put over
a scheme short time ago whereby
the depositors would have been
cheated out of at least one half of
the assessment against the stock
holders.
The letter sent to the officials
reads in part:
"a certain attorney, Persky, has
organized committee for the pro-
lection of stockholders, which in
reality is a committee to break a
state law requiring the payment of
per share by the stockholders of de-
fuact corporations. ANY opposition
to assessment this organization will
put UP, is in direct conflict with the
law. Our organization will insist
that the State carry out the law on
the Statute books, or repeal the law,
but as long as this law is in force,
and repeal is not talked Of and even
if they would succeed in multiplying
the law, it would not be retroactive.
we must insist as depositors and
citizens that this organization of
stockholders be declared illegal.
we request that this settlement
be set aside and better one worked
out"
