STARTING PUPILS
NEED ATTENTION
OF THE DENTIST

Schools will open in few days and
the army of youngsters, who will
reach school age, this year, will join
their older brothers and sisters on the
great pilgrimage along the Royal
Road of Learning. Preparations are
bling made for the enrolment of over
10000 first graders in the schools
throughout the State. About one
fourth of the total are colored.
eff your Doris or David is start
ing to school this year," DR.. R. H.
Riley, Director of the State Depart
ment of Health, says to the parents
of the youngsters who will tackle the
three RS for the first time, in the
schools in the counties, don't wait
until either of them comes home from
school with headache, or with ach-
ing teeth. to find out that they need
medical or dental attention. Take
them to Your doctor now, Have them
looked over thoroughly if they need
attention of any sort have it done be-
fore they start to school.
The transition from babyhood to
childhood puts a great strain physi-
cally as we'll as mentally upon the
growing child and the least that the
parents can do is to see that these
small human machines are in the best
possible shape for the great adven-
ture. You would do as much--or more
for your car if you were going to
start on a trip into an unknown ter
ritory. Be equally careful to have
your child inspected and gotten into
the best condition possible before his
name is entered upon the school books.
"And remember: Our Maryland
law will not permit child who has
not been vaccinated against small
poX to be enrolled in any public school
in the State. If your child has not
been vaccinated against smallpox,
have that done before you take him
or her-to school. We have had only
one case of small poX in Maryland in
the last five years-that case was re-
ported in 1881. But smallpox is re-
valent in other parts of the country.
Over 5000 cases were reported in the
United States in 1888 and unvaccin-
ated people are likely to get it wher-
ever it occurs.
IF your child has not been pro-
tected against diphtheria, have him
or her-vaccinated against that di-
sease also, before you send him to
school. We have been able to keep
Maryland comparatively free from
smallpox by the careful observance of
our requirements in regard to vac
cination. All we hope eventually is to
have as clear record concerning
diphtheria. The treatment has been
greatly simplified since toxoid has
been used to protect children against
the disease. Only one treatment is
necessary. Ask your doctor about it,

Imperialist Edict

DUBLIN, Oct. 19.-Impoverished
farmers throughout East Cork,
Waterford and Kilkenny counties
have rebelled against the collection
Of the infamous land annuities for
English landlords and the attempts
of the deValera government to seize
their land on the failure to pay the
taxes, and have cut off railroad,

cation with cities and troops cen
tiers.
Ninety farmers, arrested and in
prison, are to be tried before mil

riding in fascist manner the most
elementary constitutional rights of
the Irish workers and working
farmers.
These farmers, fighting under the
leadership of the Land Annuitants'
Defense Organization and with the
support of the Communist Party of
Ireland, have been openly repudi-
ated by the Opposition Party and
william Cosgrave, fascist chieftain
who, by demagogic stand Of con-
demning the injustice" of the tax
annuities upon the farmers while
declaring that they must seek re-
dress in constitutional way, is
proving to the Irish masses how
well he supports the aims of the
Irish landlord class and the British

LOngshoremen Describe
Work of LILA. Heads
with Bosses

When I first started to work in
1925 as longshoreman, it was such
difficult work, that I couldn't con-
ceive Of having the strength to
finish days work. But, however,
we always manage. And 7 have been
ever since.
However then there were more jobs
and the officials of the LILA. were
making their racket with the grow
ing membership and the selling Of
the buttons.
OF course, the officials Of the
lila are defending themselves
from the microbes of the crisis, be-
cause they know that they have
starving people willing to sell them
selves at any price.
The rank and file longshoremen
groups are spreading in the East as
it did on the West Coast, like the
lava from a volcano. We feel that
in a short time, the takers and
racketeerS of the lila will be thrown
out and honest leaders will replace
them. I will never forget in 1881
when my mother felt sick and went
to consult the family doctor; when
he sent her to see a gynecologist
because he couldn't treat that ILL
ness. She went to see the specialist
and he told her she needed an i'm
mediate operation. She had no
money at that time and didn't trust
the charity hospitals. What could
be done? My father died in 1928.
I left the house in the morning to
get job, I was determined to find
one at any cost, on the same day.
But if 1 didn't, I ran around to the
bosses houses all day until job
was assured for the following day.
Most of the bosses I went to see in
their home told me, you know, I
feel sorry for what happened to
your mother, but a certain percen-
tage of each days wages must be
paid back, otherwise I can't take
you" Finally my mother saved bit
and went to see the specialist again.
1t was too late. After several
months she died. But I am sure that
she didn't die a natural death. She
was murdered technically by the
present system of society. There

Release Jailed
.C.P. Candidate
Anderson Nominee for
Governor, Was Held
Without Charges
(speeIal 70 the Dale Workerl

DETROIT, Mich, Oct. 19.-John
Anderson, Communist candidate
for Governor, who was arrested
Wednesday and held without
charges, was released late yesterday
afternoon. Anderson was picked up
while driving his car, by detective
Mazuliak and Mazuziak Of the Red
Squad, who specialize in the per-
secution Of militant workers. Ma
zuziak punched him in the face.
The Communist nominee, who is
an outstanding trade unionist and
leader of the progressives in the
Mechanics Educational Society of
America, was finger printed and
photographed and placed in the
lineup with criminals. Anderson
has been bringing the Communist
program to large numbers Of work
ers and haa been oondUI ting a
series of successful shop-gate meet
ings at the Fisher Body plant. 1t
was in an effort to put a halt to
these activities that the police ar
rested him.
This morning two other militant
workers, Frank Miller and Francis
Walker, were also released. They
were arrested Wednesday by the
same two detectives when they
went to the Lemay Welfare Station
to get relief for an unemployed
family.

literally firetraps. Tens of thou
sands of teachers remain unem-
ployed and $6O,0O00Oo is owed to
them in back wages.
No one can forget the infamous
instruction issued by the relief
Bureau of New York City, namely,
that those nationalities which are
used to lower standards of living
shall get a lower standard of re-
lief. This includes Negroes, Latin
Americans, and Italians"
The Democratic platform talks
about impartiality in relief, but
even President Roosevelt has adj
mitted that relief is political
racket and that each political party
is taking advantage of it. 1t is
not only the Democratic Tammany
Hall chieftans who recommend and
obtain relief for their followers, but
also LaGuardia, who has built La
Guardia clubs in N. Y. c., which
serve the same purpose, and are
used to terrorize the masses and
build up political machines.
Democrats Lie
If the Democratic platform and
Lehman contend that fear has
been dispelled among the unem-
ployed," they are lying to the popu-
lation.
Facing the situation of the starv-
ing children as we do, how hypocri-
tical is the proclamation of Gov.
Lehman, endorsed by Pres. Roose-
welt, declaring October a milk
month" 1t is not necessary to
convince parents of hungry chill
dren that milk is a healthful pro-
duct nor have they deprived their
children of milk because they
thought otherwise.
Lehman and the Democratic plat
form talk of stimulating agriculture
which is the most important indus
try of the State, by boosting the
sale of milk. But it is fact in the
State of New York that the maxi
mum that farmer receives for
quart of milk is 314 cents while a
worker in New York City has to
pay Is cents for grade B and 16
cents for grade A milk. The big
milk distributors, Borden, Sheffield,
etc., and the National Dairy Prod
ucts Assoc, of which Lehman is
member of the Board of Directors,
and a large stock holder, obtains
the difference between what the
farmer receives and what the work
er has to pay in the cities. Ma
tional Dairy Products, during the
whole period of the crisis, year after
year, has increased its profits and
the Wall Street banker, Lehman
himself, is a big recipient of these
profits.
Greater Misery Than Ever
The Democratic platform states
that the welfare of the wage earn
er has been advanced" Yet Presi-
dent Roosevelt's Commission of
Economic Security has admitted
that Is per cent of the wage earn
ers are unemployed; and Richberg,
head of the N. R. A., has informed
Roosevelt that the poyroll of the
U. S. has increased only 8.5 per
cent. But the Department of Com
merce reports that in the same
period the cost of food has mounted
301a per cent. This completely wipes
out the increase in payrolls. There
fore the answer to Roosevelt's ques-

strikers who did such a splendid
job closing down the tire fabric
mills and who were burning with
indignation when Batty called off
the strike-young fellows from
Rhode Island, New Bedford an d
Lowell who descended on Lawrence
in the flying squadrons that were
disorganized and broken up by
Cottell, the U.T.W. organizer
young fellows and girls in Sayles-
vile who rushed right up to the
muzzles of the guns in leading the
picketing and fighting-you are the
ones who should join the Com
munist Party and the Young Com
munist LeagueI
The Communist Party will teach
you how to see through all the
tricks of the millowners and the
misleaders like German, Sylvia and
Batty. 1t will teach you how to
really build your union in the mills.
1t will teach you how to act in the
union meetings to convince and win
over your fellow workers, to throw
the misleaders out of the union, to
really win improved conditions on
the job. 1t will train you, SO that
the union will actually serve the
interests of the rank and file.
The Communist Party is able to
do this, it is able to always rally
the workers for the path of victory
because it is a party of workers
serving the interests only of the
working class, because it follows the
teachings of the two greatest lead
ers the working class ever had
Marx and Lenin-because its line is
based on the experience of the
workers all over the world, because
it is not trying to patch up this
miserable capitalist system at the
expense of the workers, but instead
is fighting not only for better con-
ditions for the workers now, but
also for abolishing capitalism and
establishing a government of work
ers and farmers. Textile workers,
join the Communist Party!

| duction, put the workers back to
work and increase the buying power
of the masses. Instead these bill
lions have been pumped out Of the
U. S. Treasury into the treasures
of these trusts so they could pay in
creased profits. Richberg reported
to Roosevelt on the first anniversary
Of the New DEAL that the profits
of the big corporations under the
New Deal" increased up to six hum
dred per cent.
This is the New Deal" that we
Communists challenge. Its aim was
not to improve the conditions of
the masses but to fix prices, increase
profits, drive out all small COM
petitorS, concentrate power in the
hands of the biggest Wall st. banks,
establish company unions, introduce
fascism and prepare for war.
Democrats Proposals
What does the Democratic plat
form propose in this situation2
Firstly, unemployment relief, which
is to be met by a bond issue of
$40, 100000. Not only is this sum
totally inadequate in view of the
rising number of unemployed and
the growing restitution of the
masses, but the method of relief is
also against the interest of the
workers. There is nothing mysteri-
GUS about bond issues. State bonds
are bought by the bankers. In
terest must be paid every year and
finally the bonds must be paid off.
The States source of revenue,
namely, taxation, rests upon the
shoulders Of the workers and farm
erS
In addition, the Democratic plat
form proposes an unemployment
insurance plan" as against the
Communist Party demands, and
Lehman in his acceptance speech
deplored the fact that he was not
supported by the Republicans in
this proposal Both of them
agreed, however, that the insurance
they propose must be paid for by
forced contributions from workers.
Neither the Byrne- Condor Bill nor
the Steingut- Mastick Bill nor the
bill recently endorsed by the n. Y.
State A. F. of L., will supply the
more than 100000 who are now
unemployed with penny of in
surance. In addition, hundreds of
thousands of domestic, agricultural
and other workers will get no in
surance, nor will workers on strike.
Workers now employed, if dis
charged in the future, will obtain a
limited compensation per week for
limited number of weeks after a
designated waiting period and then
would have no claim upon the in
surance administration.
Communist Demands
AS against this method of relief
and insurance, as endorsed both by
the Democratic and Republican
parties, the Communist Party is
demanding an appropriation for
winter relief from the state of
$500, 100000, the funds to be raised
not by bond issue, but by taxation
of all incomes over S5,000 In
other words, at the expense of those
who are in control Of industry and

Brooklyn Edison Co.
EmplOye Tells of His
Experiences at Plant

In 1882, 5000 workers were laid
of in the Brooklyn Edison Co. This
action on the part Of the Edison
employers started me thinking. We,
who do all the work, who actually
produce all the profit for the Edi-
son Co., are at their mercy. We are
continually faced with unemploy-
ment.
In 1888, with the inception of the
NR.A., some Of the layed off men
were taken back, but at the same
time our salaries were cut by Civ
ing us Saturday of. It was not the
Edison employers who lost anything
from their tremendous profits, it
was we who were paying for the re-
turn Of these men by wage cut.
In order to protect their profits,
they resort to wage-cutS.
In 1884, the Edison Co. began
their campaign for a company
union, just at the time that the
Brotherhood, an independent or
ganization, began to win the favor
OF many workers. Here, IN order to
block the growth of a rank and file
union which would fight for the
workers rights, the company gave
us company union.
began to see that all these ac-
tons taken by the Edison employ
ers are the same taken by all en-
ployers. That these actions are &C.
tons used by the capitalist class
! against the working class.
In 1884 I joined the Communist
Party, because it is the only organ
lied group that teaches and ex-
plains the reasons for unemploy-
ment, wage-cuts, NR.A., war and
fascism. I joined the Communist
Party because it not only teaches
and explains, but actually leads the
working class in their struggle for
higher wages, for security of JOB,
for the right to organize and strike,
for unemployment and social in
surance.
