Work of Organizations
Hampered Because of
responsibility

These are just few samples.
IMPLYING what is happening on an
alarming scale. The letters quoted
tell their own story of what damage
is being done. Though a number of
such letters have been published, the
practice continues. Explanations and
apologies have been made by the
guilty organizations and individuals.
But the deed was done and the harm
could not be repaired. If a sched-
uled speaker cannot appear, it is his
bounden duty to supply a competent
substitute without fail.
This cross-section Of the dozens of
letters received, shows that this lax
ness is not confined to any particular
organization, but is widespread.
Every letter received by the DAILY"
is not only complaint, but an indict-
ment. The writer's clamor for an &C
counting. They echo the question OF
the Jack London Club of Plainfleld.
How much longer are we going to
permit this laxity to continue?"
A promise made to send a speaker,
or to appear as a speaker, Is pledge
to the working class, members Of
whom will be at these meetings. To
fall to appear is to be guilty OF ire
sponsibility before the masses

Shipyard Strike Move
Halted by Appealing in
Name of Labor Board
By a Worker CORRESPONDENT

GLOUCESTER CITY, N. J.-Mullin
& Company rats misled the New
York Shipyard workers in the inter-
est of Bardo & Co. Also the Sun Ship
leadership misled them. The only
honest one was j. Green, vice-presi-
dent
We were to receive a decision from
the National Labor Board last We'd
nesday. Well, the meeting opened
last Saturday, and the first thing off
the bat, either a yellow group, or a
group Of company agents working in
amongst the workers, got up one by
one and urged the workers to vote
against strike. Here was the motion
that did the trick for the bosses. "I
make a motion that we leave every
thing in TIL hands of the National
Labor Board and stop this talk about
strike" So it was seconded and
passed, and of course they knitted John
Green, who called this meeting as he
was acting president, due to Mullin
being sick. But Mullin soon got on
the job for the interest of the bosses
this day, and urged the workers to
wait for the decision of the National
Labor Beard.

Workers Face
Stagger Plan
BY a C.w.A. Correspondent


DENVER, Colo.-The MIRA, with
the rest Of the alphabet which Roose-
welt is using to fool the workers a
little while longer, is having its eff
feet here in this mile high city. With
all the attempts by the Relief rack
eteers to force workers off the re-
lief lists by creating supposed work
they have found thai there are still
thousands that cannot be employed
under the scheme.
Out Of around 10000 unemployed
men and women forced labor has been
found for not over 5000, which has
caused discomfort amongst those who
are still on the relief rolls who think
by going to work on one Of the work
projects they will be better off. But
take it from me who happen to be one
of the first workers picked to
straighten out the kinks in the Platte
River, which is Just as crooked as he
politicians who run this town.
The latest news is that we who are
now working will have the stagger
plan forced upon us by the first of the
month. That will mean that we work
one week and lay off the next, which
will also mean that we will be getting
the handsome sum Of $937 to keep
our families from starving and freez-
ing to death this winter.
The Daily Worker, to my opinion,
lis becoming a real working class
paper. Keep up the good work.
Greeting to the bigger and better
Daily which never fail to read when
ever I can get the price to get one.

Letters to the ''Daily'
Tell How Audiences
Are Disappointed
BY workers Correspondence Dept.

By Workers Correspondence Dept.
From time to time, letters have ap-
peared in the Daily Worker from in
dividual workers and organizations
complaining that speakers scheduled
to appear at meetings failed to come
as promised.
These letters invariably carried
with them the story of how the dis
appointments played havoc with
patient, intensive efforts in arranging
the meetings and drawing in "out-
side workers. They spoke bitterly
Of the effect the nonappearance of
speakers had upon these workers,
many Of them for the first time n a
revolutionary meeting, and the re-
action and Generalization of the
members of the organizations.
Perhaps because these letters have
appeared in the DAILY" singly and
at separate dates, it may have given
the impression that these cases were
raritieS. But examined collectively,
the impression changes to realiza-
ton that there is something funda-
mentally rotten in Denmark"
Important to consider is the fact
that the letters published are but a
small fraction of the dozens received
constantly by the Daily, which are
answered personally, through the

Layoffs by Dozens at
SchweinIer Pres

HUGUENOT PARK. Staten Island.
N. Y.-On Nov. 18th, wss fired from
Schweinler Press for collecting money
for flowers, which I was asked to do
Tor a fellow workers father that died.
1t has always been a custom in
SchWeinler to take up a collection for
flowers. Sometimes it is taken all
through the building. But that was
only a good excuse for John P. Hag-
gerty, our foreman, to get rid of me to
save some more money for Schwein-
ler's.
That is only one case. There have
been lay-offs regularly by the dozens
In the last six months in Schweinler
Press. Where are the MIRA. investi-
gators who are supposed to benefit
labor? 1t is about time the supposedly
organized labor will wake up and see
If the A. F. of L. is a workers union
or a bosses union.

ployed Council and then the Com
mun1St Party.
J.K.
Editors Note: We would sugge
that the workers in the shop immc
diately prepare to struggle againef
lay-offs. They should apply to Bi
Six for assistance to reinstate thie
laid-off worker, and to demand short
or hours in place of lay-offs.

tion Party, at 40 w. 18th St, which i.

In Big Six to force the leadership
to struggle against lay-offs.
1t is not correct for the workers to
wait till they are laid off and then
join some other organization. Their
most important fight is right on the

and Non-oficial Remedies, because
the evidence does not seem to bear
out the claims made for this anti
septic. Much as it may displease
those who are opposed to the ANA,
we shall abide by the decision of the
Council on Pharmacy and Chemistry.
We disagree utterly with the political
views OF the ANA; but from sc.en-
tific point of view, the Council ;e an
excellent authority to follow.
Missing Heart Beats
Mrs. Dorothy B., Cleveland.-ff YOU
miss every other heart beat. YOU
ought to have yourself examined as
soon as possible; particularly when
1t is accompanied by pain. In some
cases a few drops of Digitalis is all
one needs to reeStablish the cardiac
heart) rhythm. In others, it might
be due to angina pectoris, which is a
serious disease.
Lack Of Viraity
Henry c., Chicago.-At your sze
600, it is perfectly natural for the
sexual power to begin to ebb. There
is no reason to feel Cheap" Sooner
or later, person must resign him
self to a limitation of the sexual act;
just as we have to resign ourselves
to become old and die. There is
nothing to be ashamed of, when we
submit to the laws of nature. 1t is
the person who tries to struggle
against the inevitable who makes
himself ridiculous.
Sebaceous Cyst
J. E.-What you take for a wart
is nothing but a sebaceus cyst. This
is due to the plugging up of one Of
the tiny glands which secret the oily
substance for the hair follicle. You
have no Venereel disease and you do
not have to come to our office for
an examination.
AS to your habit of looking at the
pictures, it is only form of mas
turbation- which you will outgrow as
soon as you mix more freely With
the opposite sex
