The value of any coal to the consumer depends solely upon what results he is able to secure with it in daily operation and under exitsing, conditions. ... A number eight shoe has no value to the man with number nine foot. : A ten-foot plank is worthless as a means of span hing a twelve-foot. space. ..

from the medical point Of view, In
effecting changes in State laws where
necessary.
5. 1t shall attempt by every
legitimate means to rally behind this
bill the full weight of the favorable
opinion of the organized profession OF
the country.
The present Federal statutes prohibit
the physician from giving any prescrip-
tion or information with contraception
as its object, with heavy fines or i'm
prisonment as the penalties. Medical
schools cannot legally teach contra
ceptive means. Yet, 1t was pointed
out, there are various physical condi-
tions-such as may arise from chronic
cardiac or renal diseases, tuberculosis,
exophthalmic goiter, etc.-when pre-
vention of pregnancy may be essential
for the life of the patient. Paradoxically
enough, the physician in such cases
may legally prescribe an operation with
all its attendant dangers and dis
comforts.
Discussion to Be Opened.
The program of the committee will
be placed as rapidly as possible before
various representative medical groups
all over the United States for discus
sion and action.
The National Committee is at pres
ent organized as follows: Chairman,
to be selected; vice chairman, Dr.
Palmer Findley of Omaha; secretary
and treasurer, DR.. Wilson; chairman
Of the Executive Committee, DR..
Everett D. Plass of Iowa City; vice

After the national committee was Or
ganized the local committee went out
of existence.
Control Issue Avoided.
The committee, DR.. Wilson said
takes no position on the ethical or
social aspects of the question, and its
organization is by no means to be
understood as movement in favor OF
birth control. 1t seeks to free the
medical profession from what it con-
siders to be unjust and often para
doxical restrictions, leaving to the
professional judgment and individual
conscience of the physician himself
the course to be followed in any par
ticular case. Further, it seeks to pro-
tect the public from the present flood
of unreliable and frequently harmful
devices and medicines now sold freely
to all comers.
The movement, DR.. Wilson, en-
phasized, is purely medical one, with
no lay Affiliations or support. 1t will
work through national, State and local
medical groups, but Is not associated
with any other medical body.
Objectives and Rules.
The objectives and rules were de-
fined as follows:
1. The work of the national COM
mittee will be entirely with the pro-
fession and 1t shall undertake no
lobbying before Congress or State
Legislatures.
2. 1t shall remain entirely indie
pendent of, and unassociated with, any
lay groups advocating so-called birth.

or sale of contraceptive devices OF

d. A. r. Dare Not Read Bid
To WOmen's Anti War Meet

NEW YORK. The Daughters of
the American Revolution met at
their national convention in Wash
ington and took the question of the
next war very seriously They are
very much worried about the prob
lem of the next war and the role
that the United States will have to
play-so worried that they passed
resolutions asking for a bigger navy.
A copy of the call to the women
of the United States, issued by the
American Section of the Interna-
tional Women's Congress Against
War and Fascism, which will take
place in Paris, July %, 20, 30, 1884,
was sent to Mrs. Magma of the D.
A. R.
The letter which accompanied the
call reads in part: In view of the
fact that one of the major problems
being discussed at your convention
is the danger of the coming war, we
feel that the enclosed call addressed
to the women of the United States
should be read to the body of your
convention. 1. We are confident
that many of them will be inter
ested in what we have to say"

In a shoe factory in Berlin, the
women workers packed into every
shoe box, leaflets protesting against
rising food prices. In Hamburg
rubber factory, the women threat
ened to strike when a number of
them were dismissed. The dismissal
order was withdrawn.
The wages of women workers in
the General Electric plant in Berlin
were cut from 64-68 pfennigs to
50-55 pfennigs. But when the fas-
cist management attempted to cut
the hourly rate still further. to 1880
pfennigs, the determined opposition
of the women forced them to re-
treat.
In a textile factory where oper-
ators earned so marks a week
about $12), the Nazi officials de-
manded contributions of 7 per cent
of their wages for the N.S.B.O. (Nazi
factory organization). The women
directly accused the officials of ex-
tortion. Storm troopers came, but
were unable to intimidate the
women. Only when the officials of
the N.S.B.O. said that all those who
failed to pay the per cent would
be sent to concentration camps, thew
grudgingly complied.

Cerm@nWo FightNasi Oppression

NEW YORK.-Throughout Ger
many, in the shops and on the
market place, manifestations of dis
content and out-and-out resistance
from working class women is seen.
These few examples of recent ac-
tons, taken from pamphlet on
Women Under Hitler Fascism, -
now being printed by the National
Committee TO Aid Victims of Ger
man Fascism, are highly significant.
One hundred women were dis
missed by the Card Box factory in
Berlin. They were ordered to regis
ter as unemployed at the factory
instead of at the labor exchange,
as they ordinarily would. When
the firm announced that the I'M
employed women would have to
work an hour a week without pay
to make up for the trouble" they
caused the management when they
registered, the women refused. In
two days, the firm withdrew the
order.
Women workers of the A.GF.A.
factory defeated a threatened wage
cut by militant action. When a
National Socialist came to address
them, they heckled him because he
was completely silent about their
bad working conditions and the an
nounced wage cut.

afraid that too many of the women
present would be interested in the
questions this call asks: "Why does
Congress give billions of dollars for
the building of warships? Why do
hundreds of thousands of young
men get semi-military training in
the Civilian Conservation Corps?
Why has the United States war
budget been increased 1877 per cent
over the pre-war budget, the largest
of any country in the world?"
Most of the ladies in the OAR.
have spent small fortunes in tracing
their genealogy back to the patriots
who fought the Revolutionary War
in 1776 and other statements in the
call like: To-day fifteen million
Americans are unemployed and
starving in the midst of plenty. =.
You see the effects of this crisis in
your children's torn shoes and your
empty cupboards. You know
what it means to make ends meet

Defend Your Right to the
Streets on May L!

THE capitalist officials of two large
/ cities, Birmingham and Detroit, have
lust handed down police orders forbid
ding the workers to assemble IN the pub
lie squares for May Day demonstrations.
These police orders against the May
Day demonstrations also make 1t clear
that the workers cannot depend upon the
capitalist officials for their democratic rights, but
must themselves fight for and defend these rights
The muzzling of May Day demonstrations is not
only reminiscent Of the blacklist days Of Czarism,
but smells like the foul rule Of Fascism.
The muzzIng Of May Day demonstrations, the
attempt in many cities to place all kinds of OBJ
stacles and traps in the way Of these working class
meetings is only another expression of the grow
ing Fascist character Of the whole Roosevelt rule
The throttling of May Day meetings is only part
Of the Roosevelt program which is expressed in
such measures as the Wagner Bill for the outlaw
ing of all strikes and the claiming of the workers
to the tyranny of compulsory arbitration"
The attempt to muzzle the working class May
Day takes place when the capitalists face the great
est strike wave in the history of the country, as
the five year economic crisis is swiftly develop
ing into general revolutionary crisis which brings
the whole capitalist system face to face with the
forces of the proletarian revolution.
The employers in Detroit fear a May Day DEM
onstration because they know that such a demon
straton may very well kindle the conflagration of
a mighty auto strike, which would spread into the
strongest fortresses of Wall Street reaction the steel
mills and coal mines.
The rich employers and landlords of Birmng-
ham tremble at the thought of a May Day demon
stradon, for this will strike blow at the whole
system Of lynch terrorism, iim-crow oppression.
Such demonstration, with white and Negro work
ers uniting in support of the strikers at the Wall
Street Tennessee Coal and Iron Company, would
strike blow at one of the mightest supports of
Wall Street imperialism, the Southern lynch sys-

sored Nazi press sometimes shows a
little reflection of the ferment
among the women workers. One of
Hamburg's leading papers reports
that the local labor office recently
tried to 'induce a number of I'M
employed young women factory
workers to work in the country.
about 300 young unmarried
factory women workers were
brought together" the report con-
tinues, ito assign them to Jobs on
the farms. One hundred and fifty
of the 300 women said they were
too i'll. Not one OF the 300 girls
volunteered for farm work in spite
OF repeated appeals! Thirty
girls voluntarily co gave up their
unemployment relief rather than &C.
cept jobs in the country with ade-
quate CD pay In So cases unem-
ployment relief had to be cut out
as the unemployed women refused
to accept the work offered. The
remainder, about 200 girls, finally
declared themselves ready to accent
the work after their obligations and
the consequences of a refusal had
been explained to them.
Experience is showing that the
sending of unemployed to the coun-
try encounters repeated resistance. .
