- ~ re " VI AEA
ST. LOUIS. MOI am a colored
maintenance of way worker at the
St. Louis Terminal Railroad Yards.
The Daily Worker was put in nv
hands a short time ago, and it
could be a wonderful shield in the
workers hands if we could all only
see it.
I am working as an extra at the
Terminal, and We sure get q dirty
deal. Sometimes we wait a whole
month before We get a little work
20 do, and then we are given so
much and such heavy work to do
say for 3 days or week-that we
really need the month lay-off to
get over the effects. Then, of course.
it means starvation and misery at
home.
What does this mean to the reg
ular men? They feel kind of lucky
that they can work full weeks, but
they taste the same bitter pill when
they realize by the pain in their
tired bones that they are doing
three mems worls-tnWs masking the
bosses richer, themselves thinner
and denying us extras a little more
work and bread.
Let's take for an example the
fire-knockers. remember a time
when three men, taking 1t easy,
used to do the following job, now
done by one f1re-knocker. He has
to knock the fire out of the box
water and coal the engines, wash
out the pans, and keep on watering
and firing the engines that come in
and out. On the average about 10
or 10 engines pass in and out.
In 1881, when there was much
less unemployment, three men did
this job. Now with so many more
unemployed and despairing, one
man has to tear his CUTS doing this
hard and dirty job and get much
less money than in 1881.
Now take the lubricator. He has
to fill 4 fianges on the outside of an
engine and then has to fill two
cans on the inside Besides this, he
has to tote his own oil, and believe
me, know more than one brother
carrying a rupture doing this hard
work. He also has to coal and sand
the engines. This also is q three
man job. OF course, only Negroes
get this worse kind Of work.

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
UndeRdeve8oped Breasts

d. G., New YOEk-Tne problem Of
underdeveloped breasts IN a woman
Of % is not a very simple one. You
state that you have a nice form
except for terribly underdeveloped
breasts that detract considerably"
and you ask for something that
you can do to promote larger
growth"
AS a rule the reverse is true.
Women usually complain that their
breasts are too large and they use
all sorts Of contraptions to make
them appear less conspicuous. The
"boyish" form and the Silhouette"
figure were all the rage not 50 long
ago. Has the naatronly shape come
into style again?
Your letter provides insufficient
data to aid us in passing judgment
on your case. The following Ques-
tons concerning your history are
very important: % How old we're
YOU when puberty began; % Do
YOU menstruate regularly; 49, Do
the breasts become painful or do
they seem larger during the period;
az Are you married or single?
Besides the history. other data
obtained from physical examination
and laboratory tests are necessary
in order to determine which gland
or series of glands are not func-
tioning properly. This data con-
sists Of general appearance, oharac-
ter of voice, height, weight, length
Of trunk and extremities and the
relationship of these lengths to one
another, distribution of hair on the
body. hornone tests, X-ray exami-
nation of the skull, blood tests, etc.
The development of the breasts,
as well as body growth in general,
is dependent upon the interaction
of certain glands. These glands are
called the endocrine or ductless
glands because their secretions are
not discharged from ducts or ca
nails, but are given off directly into
the blood stream. The secretions
from the ductless glands are called
hormones. The hormones which
are responsible for breast develop
ment are probably the same ones
which cause menstruation. There
are at least two glands that are
responsible for menstruation: The

Bosses in Campaign of
Intimidation Against
Chicago Taxi Drivers
BY Taxi Driver Correspondent

~ q aAh DklfCI correspondent
CHICAGO, Hit is well to have
the cab drivers here and in other
cities, as well as other workers,
know the frenzied efforts made
here by the taxi-fleet owners TO
beat down the growing determina-
ton of the men to organize them
selves.
Men are openly fired for talking
about organization. They are also
bounded and terrorized for obvious
and flimSy reasons.
At this writing two drivers are in
Jail, Nate Burman and man by
the name of Mogul Two others are
threatened with arrest of civil suits.
Why has this particular time been
picked to 4log-tie these men, some

We expect the support Of every
cab driver TO fight for adequate
wages and decent working condi-
tons that are rightfullz ours.

San Pedro Seamen Will
Fight Plan for SIS Per
Month Forced Labor
BY a Worker Correspondent

LOS ANGELES, Calf. = The
S.E.R.A. in San Pedro is building a
camp for the unemployed seamen.
They will work "a hours a week and
wages of SIS month.
Thirty-five per cent of the seamen
are under the age of 25, and they
are the most active in reorganizing
the Waterfront Unemployed Coun-
Gil. The seamen are going to fight
this new war move for two reasons:
it takes them away from the town
so they can't look for jobs, and it
prepares them for war by regi-
menting them into an isolated
camp and putting them under war
time discipliEe.

to show the master mechanic that
he can get this amount of work
done with a short crew.
This oiler has too much work to
do getting his own job as he has
to get all the boxes on both sides
of every train coming in to his zone.
In addition to this he is sometimes
sent. to give another oiler in an
other zone a hand. While he is
helping the other oiler, if q train
comes in on his zone he hasn't time
to get it, the train is broken up and
he has to hunt through the yard
for the cars that come in on this
train.
NOTE: This man is working
himself to death and at the same
time running things for the other
men. 1t is a common practice for
the Penn TO put lower paid men
on jobs calling for more money,
and then abolish the jobs while
the lower paid men continue to do
them. At the same time while
working himself to death he is
taking away the job of man who
Is furloughed and who would be
called back if he were to stick to
his oilers job.
1t is to the interest of both the
oilers and the car inspectors to
join the United Progressive r. r.
Workers Union and make this one
of their central demands.

LETTERS FROM
OUR READERS
SCIENCE AND SOCIALISM

Brooklyn, N. Y.
Comrade Editor, Daily Worker:
Allow me to express my opinion
in regard to Comrade Ramsey's ar
ticles. 1 believe that series of ar
ticles is a very important contribu-
ton to the theoretical knowledge
of every worker. The material con-
tain } in them is very well selected
so as to give the reader an insight
into the scientific world. But the
comrade is not merely reporting the
various discoveries and inventions;
he is also subjecting the material
content to MARKHAM analysis.
After reading a few of these ar
ticles it becomes clear to the reader
that it is impossible for science to
develop further within this decay
ing capitalist system. With the
deepening of the crisis the imperi-
aliSts of the world more and more
feverishly prepare for war and they
utilize science for building the
means of destruction. Only under
socialism will science have the pos
sibili$y of boundlesS development,
because it will work for the good
and welfare of humanity and not
for the benefit of few rich para
sites. The only shortening of
Ramsey's articles is that they are
too short and do not appear fire.

Foxx will be with another Ameri-

d The Yankees came back to win
again in 1882 but since then they
have been on the decline, unable
to find requirements for the "ir-

order. The old Babe still has a
flair for the spectacular but his
eye has lost it's sharpness, his wing
its old trustiness and his legs the
speed essential to regular big league
performance.
There's no successor for Ruth
in sight and PROBABLY never will
be. He has achieved all his major
over 20 years in the
ma jors, hitting over 700 home runs
and receiving over 1000 bases on

farewell to his baseball future

- b ALAN GOULD

The biggest outpouring of Amer
lean baseball fandom that has been
seen in many month very likely
witnessed the definite passing of
a dynasty when the terrible Tigers
from Detroit mauled the fading
Yankees in both games of a dou-
bleheader in New York.
The mantle of batting power
which has ion SO long rested on
the shoulders of Babe Ruth and
Company has passed on to this
battering band of Bengals from
the Middle West. The Babe him
self is nearly through, faltering a
DIT through his 21st and last sea-
son as a regular and only Lou
Gehrig and Ben Chapman remain
to remind onlookers of the last
clouting crew of Yankee cham
pions. From top to bottom the
current Tigers pack a harder wal
op than New York or any other
club in the American League can
show.
Not only is Mickey Cochran rid
ing herd among a batch of real
sluggers, packing more dynamite in
their bats than anything Detroit
knew in the palmy days of Ty Cobb
and Saw Crawford, but the Tigers
seem at asst to have broken the
Eastern ST. angle hold on the Amer
lean League peak.
1t has been exactly ii years since
a Western club has won The pen
nant. Iris Speaker piloted the
Cleveland Indians to the top in
1920 and the Tribe beat Brooklyn
in the world series. Since then,
the Yankees have won seven pen
nants, the Senators three and the
Athletics three to keep a monopoly
of honors along the Eastern sea-
board. y

THIS MAN COCHRAN


Into this situation, which was
entirely inevitable, the Tigers have
rushed along to take advantage
of the American Leagues chang
ing order. Where the Boston Red
Sox particularly girded themselves
with expensive talent in the hope
of capitalizing on the breakup of
the old order, Detroit responded to
Mickey Cochrane's leadership and
raced to the top of the heap at
comparative minimum cost.
Except for the purchase of Coch-
rane. the Tigers made no great
outlay, nor did Mickey himself
make many changes in the club
left in his hands by Bucky Har-
ris, who shifted his managerial
fortunes to Boston. He has sim
ply gotten results by supplying the
spirit of leadership that a lot Of
good ball players needed.
