White Hair
Mrs. A. Gas long as your health
is in good condition, you need not
worry about your hair turning white.
You are right in thinking that It 10
unusual for jet black hair to turn
snow white at the age of 80; but We
see such cases from time to time. In
skin clinics, it is not so rare to SEQ
men and women in their twenties
with grey or white hair. We do not
know what causes the pigment (cololo
to disappear Some people are born
with white hair. They are called
albinos. Marie Antoinette is said to
have turned white the night before she
was executed. But we are inclined to
believe that she merely forgot to
apply the customary dye. Your van
ity need not suffer from your condi-
ton. Snow white hair with a youth
full complexion is all the rage in
Paris salons and some debutantes in
New York are putting on white wigs.

SIS. GRIPSHOLM.-As l wrote in
the previous report of the August
First Demonstration on board this
boat. there are group of So Finnish
workers travelling to Karelia, U. S. S.
r. The group is travelling under the
auspices of the Finnish Federation.
U. S. and Canada, workers organi-
zation.
We landed at Gothenburg, Sweden,
Sunday evening, August 6. The Fin
nish group, in company with some
other workers, were greeted at the
dock by a member of the Swedish
Communist Party who invited them
to their hall They were met there
with revolutionary greetings, ex-
changed experiences, and sang revo-
lutionary songs in three languages
until late in the evening.
At 10 pm. a large group of
Swedish comrades (about 2OO) came
to the dock to see us off; revolu-
tlonary salutations were shouted back
and forth between the group on
board and the one on shore, and
there was much singing in unison.
After short while, the Swedish
police began to interfere with the
comrades on shore. we, from the
deck of the ship, could see that the
Swedish comrades were militantly
continuing their salutations, despite
the fact that the police began taking
their banners away from them and
tried to force them off the dock.
AS IL pm. approached, the COM
rades on shore began shouting and
singing louder and more militantly.
The police, seeing that this spirit
was spreading rapidly through the
rest of the crowd on the dock, made
a frantic effort to dissolve the group
OF comrades. They began beating the
workers with their swords and scab-
bards (Which they wear in Sweden)
The comrades scattered for a mo-
ment, but returned Immediately and
began singing and shouting louder
than before. This time the police
went around making individual ar
rests. The singing went on! We left
Sweden with the shouts of our Swed-
ish comrades ringing in our ears
telling us to expect a Soviet Sweden,
pledging solidarity, promising sup
port to the U. S. S. R. and the Com
nunist International.

VIA Sane Sex Life

Looking back the ID years, the
writer has been dealing with work
ers he may say that are there so
many saints and so MAXWELL not
so holy. From the point of view of
physical health, both extremes are
harmful, If persisted in for any
length of time.
There seems to be mistaken idea
among many workers that sexual
confluence is harmful per Sc. There
is no such evidence. A woman and
even man may remain continent
for a number of years without show
ing any i'll effects. The allegations
of professional seducers to the con-
trary notwithstanding. The only
bad effects the writer has been able
to note were mainly psychological.
There, is of course, no valid rea-
son why any worker should suffer
from veneral disease. Ignorance
is no factor in this respect. 1t can
only be ascribed to negligence, to
carelessness. The use of an ordin-
airy antiseptic wash or douche is
sufficient to prevent veneral in
lection.
On the other hand, the promis-
cuous are prone to become lax. At the
risk of being accused of being an old
fogy, it must be admitted that this
business of changing sex partners at
the drop of hat or of having sew
eral at the same time, is doing the
individual no good. Workers who
are not too we'll fed exhaust them
selves under such conditions and
have very little energy left for their
jobs or for Party work. They can
not afford to ape the bourgeois, if

Of
Coast Cheated Of
Overtime Pay
Lumber Ships Pick Up
Others to Finish !
Work After 5 o. m.
By a Worker Correspondent


SAN PEDRO, Calif.-Here IS an
other trick of the bosses to get away
from paying a living wage to the
workers. The lohgshoremen that are
working on the lumber schooners are
getting rs cents an hour After 5
pm. they are supposed to get e$1.15
an hour. The men that are working
in the lumber yards are getting from
80 cents to 40 cents an hour and only
work a few days week. .:s-
Whenever a lumber schooner is
coming in to E. K. Wood Lumber Co.
to be loaded or unloaded, the long,
shoremen work till 5 pm. And after
pm. crew or gang is picked up
at the yard and some sailors from
the schooner and finish the job at
so cents an hour, thereby saving
many dollars in wages for the lumber
company. .-'o
The work is very dangerous. You
can see workers that are working In
the lumber industry walking with
crutches or with broken arms, or
otherwise injured, all the time.
Workers of the lumber yards! DO
not scab on your fellow workers, the
longshoremen! .5
Demand the full rate of pay for
longshoring! 80
Demand decent wages in the yard
so you will not be forced to work
after 5 pm.

was up to the Labor Temple this
afternoon trying to get a line on the
meeting to be held there to organize
the Western Tablet Co. into a union
shop affiliated with the A. F. of L. I
was in conversation with some of
the boys and found an organizer who
used to represent some of the rail-
road men, and guess he is still a
representative of some of the rail-
road boys. He got rather sore when
told him the shop men were sold
out by the heads of the union in
1922.
A Closed Meeting
This fellow was going to be one of
the main speakers of the afternoon.
I was of the understanding the meet
ing was going to be an open affair,
but when I got to the hall and sat
down for while, was informed 1t
Woo SOlilS W NC d ClOSCQ llCCUll1E.
and have bunch this big pros
porous looking organizer for the
railroad men who was going to speak
was the cause Of changing the meet
ing from an open TO closed meeting
The Rank and Filler was handing
out $40 to either join this union
or for payment of dues, of which the
biggest part will go into the hands
of the president of the union and
his lackeys.
Why the Sudden Activity?
1t seems that the A. F. of L. has
all of sudden taken a lot of inter-
est in the affairs of this particular
shop and others. The A. F. of L..
pocketbook is getting dry due to I'M
employment, and the COW needs
milking again, SO they go out with
bunch of the ballyhoo men to drag
in some more of the workers.
Men I talked to that work for the
Western Tablet Co. said they could
not get radical during these times
while Mr.. johnson (the biggest scab
on earth) was trying to make things
better for the working men and
women. OF course, you know where
they got that dope. Right from, the
organizer from the A. F. of L. and
the capitalist press. 800
The boys or rank and file men of
the Western Tablet Co. here do not
figure what their dues cost, and how
much more they will have to get per
week or day in order to pay these
dues into the union, and they win
not figure the rise in the cost of
living SO if they do get boost of
wages through the union they win
not be any ahead, 80.

Comrade Editor:
Recently I was with a group OF
striking dressmakers, and some Of
them asked me If the Foltis- Fischer
Cafeterias are still on strike. OF
course I told them the truth, but in
order to complete my duty, please
notify the workers in general that
the bosses court granted to the
Foltis-Fischer Cafeterias, as we'll as
to the Willow Cafeterias, injunctions
against the Food Workers Industrial
Union as scheme to demoralize and
break the real unions that are fight
ing for the interests of the workers.

has sent the price of waste paper in
this city from 5 cents per 100 lbs. up
to 40 cents per 100 lbs.
The bosses operating private gar
bage trucks are taking a rather
peculiar advantage Of this windfall.
Whereas, in the past, the paper was
dumped with the rest of the refuse,
it is now utilized as means of pay
ing the chauffeurs and helpers oper-
ating the dump-trucks. Not few of
the men employed are doing this
heavy and noisome work for what
ever cash the waste paper picked up
on the route brings in.
Workers are engaged upon the
understanding that no wages are to
be paid; that the sole compensation
Is the money gotten by selling the
waste paper-a transaction which
the workers must carry out them
selves.
The police are working hand in
hand with the bosses in this new
scheme of exploitation. The cops
are handing out tickets to the
drivers of vehicles that attempt to
follow the dump trucks for the
purpose Of picking up the paper.

Now we will take ships like the
Mccormack Line, Nelson Line, the
big freighters that are plying up and
down the Pacific with four and five
gears that take lots of work to load
and discharge, and the crew are
doing rs per cent of the work.
Eliminate Longshoremen
They come to Puget Sound and
the Columbia River, where they move
from one port to another. The crews
are doing all of the work Here is
the Nelson Line that is putting on
automatic oilers and now carrying
IL sailors, so that they can do away
with longshoremen entirely to do the
work, and the Nelson is now paying
the lowest wages on the Coast for all
this work. Men killing themselves
for $45 month and 40 cents an hour
overtime.
Instead Of working men in the
hold, they now work 6 men against
s longshoremen, and the mates and
winchdrivers are on deck, one driving
the gear, the mate tending hatch,
and when down south the mate goes
out on the docks and builds the piles.
This is keeping all the men ashore
from getting a job on these ships,
and the sailors and mates working
their heads off for nothing.
Health Broken Down
There are men sailing on these
ships that have broken themselves
down in health and worn out from
this hard work. When working in
Puget Sound, the crew goes from one
hatch to the other to get the ship
loaded, and are always in rush,
hollering from the time they go to
work until they stop. The only time
there is peace on these ships is dur
ing eating hours, and then the men
are discussing their problems of the
hard work that they are doing.
If there was ever a mad house,
they are these ships. And when at
sea, because all of the gears is made

which are simpler and better and
generally more news. All these
things are the making of a mass

if the father does not buy it one day
the mother or child will.
Our Unit has two comrades
printers-and they of course dis
cussed the Daily from the technical
point of view. Some of the sug-
gestions made by these comrades, in
order that the Daily will be more
readable and more attractive are ::
The print in the Editorials is too
small. They suggest 10 point type
or 8 on 10, and no very small type
for any section. The Heads should
be more uniform and balanced.
When these terms were explained to
the comrades we saw that if these
suggestions were followed the daily
would be more attractive. The back
page, for instance, has heads of diff
ferent type, size, cue. This has a
tendency of blurring the page and
with nothing standing out.
Other suggestions were: % A

,ause from the workers point of
view it costs more to sew ones own
clothes than to buy them.

BY the Associated Press
SHREVEPORT, La, November g.
Whether folks hereaboutS like it or not,
the big new span over Red River on the
edge of Shreveport is still "the Long
Allen Bridge"
BY order of the State administration
working crews yesterday put up new
signs-with larger lettering-on the
structure, again announcing the bridge
was monument to the gubernatorial
administrations of Huey P. Long and
o. K. Allen. Traffic was suspended and
State police stood guard as the bill
boards, 40 by 10 feet, were erected
The original Long Allen markers were
recently yanked down and hurled into
the river in midnight raid by uniden-
titled citizens shortly after Senator
Long had dedicated the structure, orig.
inally known as "the Shreveport Bridge
and renamed it in honor of himself anc
the present Governor, Allen.
Sixteen men. including State Legis.
tor. were arrested for malicious mis-.
chief" but were released for lack OF
evidence.
Allen declined to comment on the In
cident, but Long explained that ''it just
