The only way to move forward TO victory is for
the workers Themselves to take control Of the strike
THE Communist Party urges all textile workers in
all sectors of the country to set up their own
strike committees at once, and to take al ctker
measures necessary to carry the strike forward to
victory. Specifically we urge the following meas
ures:
/. Maintain mass picket lines before every mill
to prevent the reopening Of the mills before your
convention demands are granted to all textile
workers.
2. Canvass the surrounding territory. If there
is mill operating, organize flying squadrors and
marches to close the mill. Bring every mill,
wool coton, rayon, silk. and auxiliary plants out
strike until all demands are won.
3. Above all, undertake at once to organize rank
and file strike committees from among the striEin-
workers at your mill, choosing the most trust
worthy ard militant workers to represent your il
terests. Pledge them to continue the strike until
the convention demands are granted.

Eyewitness

Fire Story

NEW YORK. -Seamen of the i'll
fated steamer Moro Castle bitterly
condemned the stories Of sabotage"
and larson" broadcast yesterday by
Ward Line officials at the Federal
inquiry here at the Custom House.
The ship, which caught fire early
Saturday morning, meantime was
rocked by explosions as it lay
beached near Convention Pier, As
bury Park, New Jersey.
An eye witness story told by
Arthur Bsgley, Jr., of "A Gramercy
Park, seamon on board the Moro
Castle, who first discovered the
blaze and tried to extinguish it with
the help of Jerry Dunn, another
member Of the crew, directly refutes
the charge of the ships officers.

Drunken passengers set fire to the

pitching lighted cigarets into waste
paper baskets.
Dead and missing, according to
reports yesterday morning, were 169.
Survivors included "a passengers
and $50 members Of the crew, total
ing 391. A total of $50 persons.
That the story of sabotage" and
arson was carefully prepared seemed
evident from the fact that Acting
Captain William F. Warns refused
to talk to reporters Sunday but at
the inquiry yesterday clearly stated
that, in his opinion, the fire was of
incendiary origin. The officer went
off on Sunday with Chauncey Clark,
an attorney of the Ward Line, and
did not speak publicly until yester-
day.
Credence to the reports that there
is well-laid plan on the part of
company officials to shift the blame
for the disaster off their shoulders
and onto those of the crew is seen
here also by wired dispatches from
Havana in which the port police are
reported to have declared that Com
munists are responsible for the
holocaust. The head Of the Havana
harIoor police is reported as declar-
ing that one of the passengers on
the ship was carrying chemicals in
his baggage and was directed by
the Caribbean Bureau of the Third
International"

Overweight Individuals

OVERWEIGHT individuals will cut
" down on bread, potatoes, pastry,
butter and cream, in an effort to- re-
duce their weight, but will continue
to drink large quantities of water and
other liquids, because liquids do not
put on fat.
Strictly speaking, liquids do not put
on fat tissue, but they do put on weight
and they do prevent fat from being
used up as readily as it would be were
the liquids not taken.
1t isn't a matter Of water not be-
ing good for all mankind. Water is
the very first thing needed to main
tain the proper working Of the body,
just as food is needed to provide the
structure of the body.
But the body at all times has q
good supply of water on hand, and
only needs certain amount every day
to keep it's needs supplied.
Just as you see storage tanks Of
water on the roofs of factories to be
used in an emergency, so all your It's
sues have a goodly supply Of water
stored away. This water is not in any
one place like the storage tank, but
in and about all the tissues, and ac-
tually forming part of the tissues
themselves.
When you exercise and the perspi-
ration pours out on the surface Of the
skin, then your tissues have given up
that much water and you are just that
much lighter In weight. Some fat It's
sue has been used up by the exercise,
but water makes up most Of the
weight lost.
If, however, after exercising and los
ing all this water, or even If you sim
ply perspire without taking exercise,
and because you feel thirsty drink
three or four glasses Of water then inn
mediately you are just that much
heavier again.
With those of normal weight, this
perspiring and then drinking water is
helpful to the system; In fact 1t is
helpful also to the overweight individ-
ual in general way, but as a matter
of fact he doesn't need all this wa
ter, and it only increases his weight.
In other words the tissues and spaces
of the overweight hold so much more
water than he needs, that he has real
ly too large a storage tank" Of wa
ter. Thus If he loses considerable
water by perspiration and uses up
some of the water in his storage tank,
he is bound to lose some of his weight.
