Ipete with foreign textile mills and
speed up production.
In his Akron speech, before the
rubber workers, Green protested"
against attacks of the employers.
But what form did this protest"
take? 1t took the form of high
praise of the National Labor Rela-
tiJns Board of the government
which itself has superintendent the
growth of the company unions. He
told the workers to protest" against
a few bad" employers not by
strike. but in the National Labor
Board. Green urged them to fight
it out in the courts. His policy is
once more that of interminable de-
lay, while illusions in the govern
ment boards which are putting over
the wage cut, company union drive,
art maintained.
Green On Unemployment
AS a demagogic basis for drastic
relief cuts and denial of unemploy-
ment insurance, Roosevelt and the
employers associations have put for
ward a barrage of propaganda for
less government spending" for
balancing the budget" They have
put forward the demagogic argu-
ment that the only road to recovery
is to allow the employers more in
itiative to increase profits. This is
the argument put forward for the
Federal Housing Act, which aids
bankers and property owners but
not workers, for cuts in P.W.A.
housing appropriations, for huge
leans and gifts Of RFC. to bankers,
at the same time that unemploy-
ment relief is cut, and "unemploy-
ables" are removed from relief rolls.
Secretary of Commerce Roper de-

clares that less money must be spent
on relief and relief is a state ana
local. problem. The Roosevelt gov
eminent opposes the dole" and
unemployment insurance.
And William Green takes the
identical position as the employers.
ITO increase production and to de-
velop new employment opportunities
are the only ways to relieve lmem-
ployment," Green says in the Mo-
venber Federationist. THE only
safe program is to mobilize all eff
forts to get normal business operat-
ing to capacity. :"
This is the bankers program,
Roosevelt's program, of lodging the
responsibility Of the employers and
the government for payment of I'M
employment relief and insurance.
Green, in practice, carries out con-
cretely the employers program.
At the A. F. of L. convention,
Green opposed any form of federal
unemployment insurance. and took
the same stand that Roosevelt took
at his recent Security Conference,
that is, for nothing but state "re-
serves" laws which do not apply to
the unemployed and are unsatis-
factory even for the part .time
workers.
Green has remained silent regard
ing the present relief cuts and done
absolutely nothing to organize the
trade unions for a fight for ade-
quate relief. He fights bitterly to-
sether with the employers against
the Workers Unemployment and So
cial Insurance Bill, the only bill
which applies to all unemployed.
William Green has not only not
fought against wage cuts nor taken
any steps to rally the trade unions
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1934-12-01

to fight against the employers wage
cut drive He has publicly accepted
the proposals Of the Roosevelt gov
eminent that building wages be cut.
After Secretary of the Interior
IckeS made his recent statement
that building construction workers
must accept wage cut, and sugar
coated the pill by declaring they
will receive more work, Green, in
stead of sending out a clarion call
for a fight against this wage cut
proposal, assured the Roosevelt gov
eminent that the plan will be given
fair consideration" Green, by his
receptiveneSs to this wage cut pros
posal, which is the opening gun in
the attempt to drive wages down in
all industries, assured big business
that he can be relied on to carry
through this phase of the govern
ment's anti-labor drive. He said not
word against the fact that Hop
kins has abolished the minimum
wage of thirty cents an hour on
work relief, which tends to force
down all wages.
Green, in his general demagogic
statements, calls for the thirty hour
week without loss in the earnings
of the workers" But more concrete
| ly, Green supports the Black Com
merry bill, which provides for the
| thirty-hour week without any in
crease in pay-in other words, a
drastic cut in the earnings of the
workers. Thus Green in practice is
/ a supporter of the drive Of the en-
ployers and Roosevelt to prevent the
workers from attaining shorter
hours with no loss in pay.
Green demagogically speaks
against the company unions. But
Green halls the decision of the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board in the
Firestone Rubber Co. case as a "vic-
tory" making no comment on the
fact that the Labor Board ruled
that the company unicn's name
must be printed on the ballot, and
giving the employers union equal
rights with the real trade union
locals.
Green, industry by industry, made
possible the growth of the COM
pany unions by preventing strikes
and by agreeing to the setting
up Of such compulsory arbitra-
ton boards as the steel, auto, textile
and marine labor boards. Green
took leading part in creating ana
supporting these boards which have
"arbitrated" in these industries I'M
til company unions have grown to
immense proportions, work has been
speeded up, and in many cases,
wages cut.
Thus Green has in actuality sup
ported Rooseyelt's wage cut drive,
supported Roosevelt's policy Of re-
lief cuts and denial of unemploy-
ment insurance, aided the growth
Iof the company unions, and sabo-
tagged the fight of labor for the
thirty hour week without reduction
in pay. Green, under the Roosevelt
slogan OF industrial peace" has
pushed through the whole anti
strike policy Of the Roosevelt gov
ernmsnt-which is the program Of
the bankers.

RED CROSS RELIEF
GIVEN TO VICTIMS
IN 1903 DISASTERS
Tornadoes, Fires, Hurricanes,
Floods, Epidemics, Make
Record of Year

A history Of the disasters In the
United States In any year is written
annually by the American Red Cross,
according to Chairman John Barton
Payne, commenting on the report for
the year ending June 80, 1884, which
has just been issued in Washington.
Because of the charter provision
which places upon the Red Cross the
responsibility for disaster relief, our
chapter and staff workers are notified
of all calamities of storm and fire and
food" he continued. "The emergency
period may prove to be brief, in cases
where the victims have their own re-
sources to draw on. While it lasts,
however, whether it brings the imme-
date need of food, clothing and shelter
for the homeless, or entails a program
of investigation and rehabilitation, the
Red Cross is the official director of all
relief"
A great variation in type, and a
wide geographical distribution, char
acterize the 103 disasters reported last
year. Tornadoes, hurricanes, hail
storms and other storms made up al
most one half of the total. Especially
numerous were the tropical storms
which swept in from the sea to the
Atlantic and Gulf Coast region. There
were 81 storms Of this type, establish
ing new record for frequency.
Next in number to storms were s.
asters Of fire, the report shows. I'd
Cross aid was given following rs dres
in the United States and insular pos
sessions. The most spectacular was the
Chicago stockyards fire, where Red
Cross workers arrived shortly after the
fire started, administering relief until
the emergency period passed, giving
first aid to about 1000 persons.
Floods caused serious damage in
some sections, II calling for Red Cross
relief. Three explosions wer5 reported,
and three epidemics Of malaria and
typhoid fever. A school bus wreck was
one Of the years tragedies for which
Red Cross funds were needed for re-
lief and rehabilitation.
Technique acquired by the Red
Cross in these disasters and the hun
dreds of others we have handled is at
the service of the public" Chairman
Payne said. ITO make this possible
the disaster relief service has issued
a manual containing instructions for
chapters interested in advance prepa-
rations for emergencies. Disaster in
stitues were held last year in %
strategic locations, to enable Red
Cross and civic workers to formulate
plans for possible disaster emergencies
in their communities"
Support of the disaster relief activi-
ties of the Red Cross comes from the
annual roll call held each year from
Armistice Day to Thanksgiving Day.

Trained to Save Lives

First aid certificates were issued by
the Red Cross last year to 1892 per-
sons who finished the course of instruc-
ton put on by the chapters. Included
in this list were more than 10000 fore
men, time clerks and other key en-
ployes on Federal Civil Works projects.
Further evidence Of the governments
endorsement Of the first aid program
IS found in projects now under way
where Red Cross chapters, at the re-
quest Of the War Department, are Civ
ng first aid instruction in CCC camps.
Where it has been requested by Army
engineers the same instruction is also
made available to key men working
on federal water conservancy and food
control projects.

War Veterans Problems
Increase

Last year American Red Cross chap
tiers dealt with the problems Of nearly
100000 veterans and their families.
The workers find that as the years go
on their responsibility increases rather
than decreases. Changes in legislation,
the increasing age Of veterans and the
consequent increase in physical ills,
bring new needs for sympathetic treat
ment by trained Red Cross workers. In
addition to this service to veterans the
Red Cross served as the official medium
between the people and the men in mill
tary and naval service, giving aid
through this service last year to 6,979
men in the army, navy and marine
corps.

Workers

A number of tragic and unusual
disasters have recently called for
Red Cross relief.
Included in them have been a
flood in Kentucky, following a series
of cloudbursts in August; cpl
denies of disease which threatened
several sections, including some
caused by drought conditions. Red
Cross workers found much to do
for the survivors Of the Moro
Castle fire and for those engaged
in rescue work; and Red Cross re-
lief went by airplane to Alaska

Today's Science
By
David Dietz

NTANY who think of the name Of Cotton Mather
WI only in connection with the Salem witchcraft
prosecutions, will be surprised to hear that he de-
serves the title of the father Of popular science in
the English language.
curious little volume which has just come TO
light in the collections Of the Smithsonian Institu-
ton, shows that ne was the author of what was
probably the first volume of popular science pub
lshed in English.
The book is entitled, The Christian Philosopher:
Collection of the Best Discoveries in Nature, with
Religious Improvements. BY Cotton Mather D. D.,
and Fellow of the Royal Society" 1t was printed in
1921. 1t is popular compendium of astronomy,
physics, geology, zoology, physiology, anatomy and
psychology they existed in his day.
While the modern reader. looking over the old
book, is most likely to be halted by what amusing
mistakes in the light of modern knowledge the
Smithsonian authorities who have read the book
carefully say that Mather right often than
he was wrong
In this connection it is perhaps we'll to point out
that Mather has suffered unfairly in the matter of
reputation. Historians agree that it can not be
shown that he inspired the witchcraft trials
1t is known that he had interest in witchcraft
and investigated number of alleged cases. But it
is also fact that he warned the judges Of their
conduct in the Salem trials and that he was con-
WINGED that some of the victims were unjusty sem
fenced.

First Reference to Sun Spots

ATATHERS book contains the first reference in
1VA the literature of the new world to sun spots
His descriptions the Smithsonian scientists say are
remarkably accurate and ne appears to have been on
the verge of recognizing something like sun spot
cycle.
Upon the convexity of the sum-" he wrote there
are observed black spots which are movable and
changeable. These move regularly toward the west
and finish their revolution in about five and twenty
days; and SO testify unto us that the sun turns on
It's own CENTER and the axis of the motion inclnino
to the eciptic.
These 'maculae soares' are probably evapora-
tonS which arise from the body of the sun some
what as vaporS do from The earth, and they form
themselves into clouds That which adds TO this
PROBABILITY is that the spots always changing in
their bulk and form and conf1guration
sometimes their number is greater and some
times lesser; sometimes there are none at all Some
OF them shine and others that shone become dark
Dlhgent astronomers who have waited on them for
nine or ten years together have never found them
IN al this time to return to the same combinations
In Charlemains time everyone saw a spot in
thlS great luminary. And there have been divers
DAYS together as in the year 1547 wherein the sun
mas appeared little brighter than the moon in her
tota! eclipse and the stars have been visible at

Your Health
by DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN-

TINE proteins you take in various foods are i'm
Il portant for the growth of your body and for
KEEPING it in repair At one time all proteins
considered nearly alike. but We know that those
found in meat, eggs milk, fish, and cheese are of
the most Importance for these purposes. Vegetable
proteins are less important.
There are various ways in which your body may
receive its protein. but in some parts OF the world
little choice exists. For instance. Eskimos live en-
tirely on animal foods Vegetables and grasses
not available.
The ESkimoS get their protein and their fats from
the meat of the seal and from the blubber.
Yet ESkimos are healthy and do not seem TO
develop any special diseases because of their diet
of flesh. incidentally. they do not seem to be
bothered by changes in the blood vessels, kidneys
or govt to the extent that civilized man develops
these disorders.
TN contrast to the diet of the EskmoS is the food
OF a West African tribe. which lives wholly on
-four made from ripe bananas and on fresh bananas
This one fruit gives them every requisite, and
if the bananas quite ripe they contain sufficient
aminoacids to give the proteins good value for
growth and repair.
incidentally, babies in both the Eskimo and in
the West African tribe are nurSed by their mothers
Artificial feeding is not practical for these people
With the exception Of this banana Diet says
one authority. no other vegetarian diet provides
other vegetarian diet, milk and eggs must be
added
n
TN other savage groups. growth and full vigor can
Il be maintained on milk The Nasal live on milk
and blood and their warriors develop good size and
strength.
In general the biological values Of proteins are
IN the following order: First milk and then meat.
Among the meats kidney is first, then liver, and
then muscle.
The cereal products useful but. of course not
IN the same order as milk and meat. Cereals there
fore must be supplemented with milk or meat.
Prom the point of view Of costs, milk is cheaper
for the protein it provides than meat Cheese espe
cia1iy Is cheaper.
