BOYCOTT HI7
 { VARIETY STORES
HitIerites Slogan Directed to Rum Small German
 Retailers

Berlin. CUP One Of the typi- cal examples of political problems facine the Hitler government is the Nazi boycott Of department stores. E One Of the Eitlerites' most popu- lar slogans before coming to power was directed against de- partment stores, which, it was said, were contriving to ruin the m ''essentially Gernar' small re- tailers. x.
 This campaign was responsible for the belief among. retail shop Keepers that, after Hitler's coming to power, 1sofneth thing would be doner against the stores.
 ! A movement to boycott depart
 nent and chain stores has been. noticeable throughout the country. { The government, however, made it clear that it disagreed with this movement. Bans. on Individual, actions, such as boycotts have been very numerous since the summer. s.i '. ,. The highest authorities of the jNazi state pronounced themselves against individual action and nlolestation of the .departm ents stores. s,s \ s.l ss ..s x. ! Astiii; a certain underground fight against department stores persists.
 Recent statistics revealed that their turnover dropped by 13. per cent during the last I2 months, despite the revival of business. ex- perienced during that pe4od.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa-The condi-
ton of the tannery workers in the
Philadelphia district, which includes
Philadelphia, Camden, and Whining
ton, is deplorable and the A. F. Of
L. and the United Leather Workers
as usual are doing nothing. The A..
F. of L. is thoroughly discredited in
this district but no attempt has been
made since 1929 to organize these
workers into an industrial union.
When Roosevelt came out with his
N.R.A., the tannery workers in VIII
mington had no illusions about the
United Leather Workers and refused
to join that union. The leading men,
bers of the U.L.W. in Wilmington
then did what they considered the
next best thing, and told the unor-
ganized to organize in the National
Leather, a yellow Socialist group led
by MaSsida. A strike was called in
the Amalgamated Leather Co., but
Massida only called three depart
ments, the stakers, the shavers, and
the glazers, leaving at work the cell
lar men, because stoppage in the cell
lar would spoil the skins and Mas
sida did not want to do that. He also
agreed with the police that mass
picketing was not necessary and had
only u pickets on a factory that
takes In whole city block.

Letters from Our Readers
DAILY WORKER MUST EXPOSE
ROLE OF CAPITALIST PRESS
BROOKLYN. N. Y


Comrade Editor:
In the Daily Eagles Sunday Re-
view for Dec. 10, 1888, is an article
by Mr.. Burke Van Allen entitled
"At the Left of the Revolution"
This article is a vicious, bare-faced
attack and misstatement of the
theory and practice of the C. P. u.
S. A. Following are a number of
excerpts supporting the above-men-
toned appraisal:
'"Tre Daily Worker, foremost Com
munistic newspaper, is a Russian
lingo sheet and receptacle for anti
capitalistic complaints in weak Eng
hsh."
Between these tncipient revolu-
tionists q. e. Communist sympa-
thizers) and official Communism
stands the Communist Party Of
America, Bulwark of capitalism"
I could quote man other examples
of this despicable attempt to mis-
inform and niclead the readers of
this paper, many of whom are work.
ers living in Brooklyn.
To prevent this and to point out
to the workers the increased ferocity
and rawness Of the attacks Of the
prostitute capitalist press on the only
militant labor movement in America,
it becomes absolutely necessary for
the Daily to expose the role played
by papers such as the Brooklyn
Eagle" and writer's such as Van Allen,
as forcefully and clearly as possible.

Workers Union, as said, we find
that we still have a profit Of SIS
from the sale of literature and news
papers.
AS the Followers Of the Trail Camp
is already known as a prompt
responder to the call for the support
of our press, we feel that now when
a modern press is being installed,
we should put our shoulder to the
wheel. We are glad to do 1t by con-

We help the Daily Worker this
time through Comrade Mike Gold,
and we wish that all workers or

Leave Muddy Trail
in New Orleans, La.
Rx a Worker CORRESPONDENT


NEW ORLEANS, Lain recent
trip to the office of the United Tex
tile Workers Union, near the Lane
Cotton Mill here, to inquire about the
union membership book of Mrs. Essie
Bordelon, a former employee at that
mill, I learned that the A. F. of L.
union officials had surely carried out
their plan to rob the workers as much
as possible.
Here are the facts, as told to me by
Mr.. John Hurdy, the secretary and
treasurer of the Laurel Social and
Carnival Club.
The Laurel Social and Carnival
Club is q small neighborhood club,
located on Annunciation ST., one block
away from the big Lane mill. When
the A. F. of L. officials needed office
space to carry on their work in en-
rolling the mill employees, the Laurel
Club rented the club rooms to them.
In all the time that the A. F. of L.
used the several rooms on two floors
of the club house, they did not pay
a single cent of rent. Finally Mr.
Hurdy had to put out the union Of
ficials because Of the unpaid rent. The
rent amounts to S18 at least. The
club reduced the rent to the very
moderate sum of S. per week.
A telephone had been installed In
the club by the order Of the A. F. of
L. men. Mr.. Hurdy said that he him
self had asked the telephone COM
pany to remove the phone when he
ousted the racketeers. There is like
wise an unpaid telephone bill of near
ly $40.
While the U.Tw.A. was being built
up at the Lane mill the officers man
aged to collect from the poverty
stricken employees nearly $4,000. Only
a small number of the employees re-
ceived their membership books.
TIL A. F. of L. officers tried to run
a night club called the Riverside Inn,
In New Orleans, but it went bankrupt
from bad management.
While the U.T.W. was In the Laurel
Club, the union builders arranged for
a party called block dance. The
street near the mill was roped off for
the celebration. All sorts of stores near
the mill were dunned for food and
other sorts of donations for that par
ty. The Laurel Club itself contributed
several large bags of beans and rice
to the union to help make success
of the affair. Mr.. Hurdy told me
that the U.T.W. made clear profit OF
more than $500 from the dance.
Owing to the facts given here 1t
will be very difficult task to win
over the mill employees to the Ma
tional Textile Workers Union, but !
will do all in my power to get these
workers into an honest union.

Gloversville An Example for
Tannery Men in Phila. Area
ALL and Yellow Socialists Discredited by
Tactics in Recent Strikes

as Massida. AT the Quaker City
Leather they called out two depart
mentS, the stakers and glazers, and
when the cellarmen walked out in
sympathy, Barney Quinn, organizer
Of the UL.W, sent them back to
work, saying that they were not al
lowed to strike. The firm afterwards
locked all out and the strike was lost.
At Dreudings the men struck, join
ed the U.L.W. and Quinn sent them
back to work and allowed Dreudings
four weeks to decide what rate Of
pay he would give.
At DUNCAN Hood the men have
wanted to strike for more money sew
eral times, and were held back by
the loyal adherents OF Quinn.
1t is the opinion Of large number
of workers in the tanneries that it
is time that the UL.W. either adopt
a militant policy or that we form an
independent industrial union, such as
the workers formed in Gloversville,
N. Y. The workers in Gloversville
showed what could be accomplished
under militant leadership.
All leather workers in the Phila-
delphia district who are in favor Of
forming an independent Leather
Workers Industrial Union, should
write to, or get In touch with the
Tannery Organizer of the Trade
Union Unity League at 40 N. 9th ST.,

Few Jobs Now in

WOrSted Mills
By a Textile Worker Correspon

BY Textile Worker Correspondent
PROVIDENCE, R. 1.-The Wan
Skuck Co., one of the largest worsted
companies in New England, has three
large mills in Providence and one in
Woonsocket. The three mills in Prov
idence, the SteeTe, Geneva and Wan
sluck mills, employing we'll over 1000
(altogether), most Of whom are young
people, after having worked two shifts
under MIRA. regulation during the
seasonal pickup, has now laid off the
entire second shift in the three mills.
The first shift in the three mills Is
now working from two to four days
a week. These mills are situated in
an Italian section, where the majority
OF the workers are dependent on these
mills for an existence.
The Wanskuck has always been one
of the cheapest paying textile COM
panies of r. I. The Metcalf family
are the owners of these mills, one of
which is Jess M. Metcalf, one of the
Republican senators from Rhode
Island. Jesse Metcaf has always
given QOIldJlOIlS W ClluIGIlcS anu W
Community funds. There being no
militant trade union in the mills,
Metcalf has always been able to cut
wages at will and exploit the workers
to the lowest depths.
The last time MetcaH was elected
he ordered all the foremen to tell
the workers to vote for him, and
Immediately after he was elected he
gave the workers in all his mills a
20 per cent wage cut.
In most departments of the mills
after the N.R.A. was put into effect
in the mills, half of the workers on
the first shift were transferred to the
second shift. The work had been
speeded up SO that the same amount
of work was being turned out by half
as many workers in less than on one
shift.
Now with the second shift being
laid off, many workers who had been
working days have joined the ranks
of the unemployed. The present out
look is that there will be a much
smaller number of workers employed
in Wanskuck this winter than last
winter and much shorter week.

N. A. T., Buffalo. - Washing the
apples in running water removes a
certain amount Of the insecticide,
but not all of it. In order to re-
move the poison, known as lead ar
senate and which is used as a spray,
it lis best to use dilute solution of
hydrochloric acid. If this is not
obtainable, cut out the stem and
the calyx part OF the apple. These
are the two ends of the core where
most OF the poison spray accumu-
lateS.
Poisoning from eating apples or
other fruit such as pears, cherries,
ETC., is not rare. Children, particu-
larry, often die from arsenic poison
ing when they are given unwashed
fruit to eat. Many obscure sick
nesses in adults as well as in chill
dren are probably due to the dupl-
cate action of arsenic and lead. The
lead part Of the spray which the
farmers use against insects has an
especially in1dious action because 1t
is a cumulative poison. This means
that small amounts Of lead which in
themselves do not produce any
poisoning may accumulate in the
liver and in other organs and finally
give rise to chronic lead poisoning,
called plumbism.
When one thinks that, besides
fruit, we are constantly absorbing
small amounts Of lead from certain
cooking utensils, drinks and even
from stockings, it is easy to realize
the danger Of lead poisoning which
is always present II you are not care
full. The reference to stockings is
not a humorous one. Most Of the
stockings used by the working class
