Some More Bally hoo!

HOMRADE I. I. brings the follow
y ing pamphlet to our attention. It
is entitled: Tune in for The Den
fist Says Station WMCA." etc,
etc. The Introductory paragraph
reads: These broadcasts have been
carefully prepared by a group of
distinguished dentists and physi-
clans to explain in simple words
some usually preventable causes Of
i'll health )" Further, it states,
your child deserves a fair chance
in life" 1t points out -Four great
duties to ourselves; it speaks of
protecting the expectant mother"
and, as final and chnching argu-
ment, it tells "how to make dentis-
try economical"
Now, the question arises, why all
this ballyhoo for dentistry? Has
there been sudden epidemic of
rotting teeth2 Certainly not. Work
ers teeth are decaying as steadily,
as quietly and insidiously as always.
Then why the sudden interest in
the dental care of the masses?
The answer is to be found surely
in an epidemic" but not of decay
ing teeth. 1t is to be found in an
epidemic of chronic unemploy-
ment, which the capitalist system
has bred 1t is to be found in an
epidemic" of a lack of funds for
medical and dental care, in the
working class. With the lowering
and stopping of the income of the
great masses of workers, through
unemployment, the dentists and the
doctors are in a fair way to lose
their "jobs" as well. For since the
onset of the crisis, many dentists
and physicians have had to give up
their offices because patients have
not had funds to seek their services
The doctor or dentist goes "unem-
ployed," while millions of workers
go without medical or dental care
And 152 dentists have had to stand
in the same line as their patient,
waiting for their $18 weekly pay
from c. W. A. officials; 400 more
dentists are waiting for a chance to
stand on this line.
Let us see what solution for these
conditions this eager little pamphlet
has to offer. To judge from it's
contents, no one seems to want to
give his Child a fair chance in life, ="
and everyone likes to be as extrav-
agant as possible in paying for
medical and dental care. But is
there any normal worker who would
not give his child the fairest chance

the community. He said that the
manufacturers will not deal with
the U. S. and L. W. u, but they
are willing to negotiate with an
independent local free from "out-
side" interference.
Shugar and Chenard circulated
petition for the employees to sign
in favor of an independent union.
So far, very few shoe workers have
done so.
At this point about IS of the 100
workers present at this meeting
arose in a body and marched out
of the hall. Many of those present
were not employees Of the Novelty
Shoe Co. Let me say at this point
that this shop employs 500 workers
when running full time.
Thus far, the large majority of
the local shoe workers stand be-
hind their former decision to &C
cept no wage cuts in any form. This
is the only way we will beat the
manufacturers and their rats in our
ranks.
No wage cuts! No regarding No
Redistribution!
All shoe workers must unite be-
hind this three point program. We
must ask for a SO 1-3 per cent raise
instead Of accepting a wage cut.

Stores Rob
Workers With
Relief Script
By Shoe Worker Correspondent

By a Shoe Worker Correspondent
HAVERHILL, Massive workers
of Haverhill are facing the worst
winter we have ever experienced.
Out of 1000 shoe workers there are
only 1000 working full or part time.
Thousands are unemployed in
other trades.
Yet, in face of this mass unem-
ployment, food stuffs are going sky
high, and in Haverhill the price of
food is much higher than in other
towns il the vicinity.
On top of all this, only 1900
people are on the Welfare List and
receiving so-called relief through
script Every week we are cut off
Is cents to so cents and In some
cases 81 from our checks.
After we fight like hell and
finally get our checks, the stores
where we can shop are specified
on the checks. In these stores we
get robbed as for example, for pea
beans selling at two pounds for II
cents in cash money, We pay 81
cents in script, coffee sells at %
cents a pound in cash, we pay 80
cents in script, etc.
The stores are told to sell us the
cheapest foods and only certain
foods. To get a So check with a
family of three children, we have
to work for the street department,
doing the city laborers' work for

I know a family that was given
an eviction notice. This family
lived in a small home owners
house. The landlord and the ten
ant went up to the relief depart
ment to get them to pay the rent.
The city refused. This landlord,
because he was pressed for his
taxes, water bill and mortgages was
forced to tell the family to leave.
The city then moved this family to
an old shack owned by the bank,
and the city pays rent to the bank
Two weeks ago we were waiting
to get our work slips signed so that
we could get our relief. Sometimes,
we wait four and five hours

2 Shoe Locals
Condemn Act
OF Stitchers
By a Shoe Worker Correspondent

By Shoe Worker Correspondent
LYNN, Mass.-Great indignation
Is being expressed among the shoe
workers Of Lynn at the action OF
the Stitchers' Local of the United
Shoe and Leather Workers Union
against a member of the local for
refusing to salute the American flag
on the ground that a union is not
a place for indulging in patriotic
exercises.
The Lasters' and Ironers' Locals
went on record as protesting the
action, and called upon the Joint
Council of Lynn to put stop to
these tactics, which are aimed at
splitting the shoe workers.
A resolution was introduced in the
Cutters Local a week ago Thursday
condemning the action of the Stitch
ers' Local. The General Organizer,
Brother Mackasey, was present at
the meeting, and when standing
vote was taken on a motion to table
the resolution, Mackasey stood up
for tabling it. In other words, he
approved Of the action taken by the
stitchers.
However, the motion to table was
lost and a heated discussion took
place. One cutter told the meeting
that his grandfather died in the
Civil War, and his father in the
Spanish American War, yet he
would not approve of bringing the
flag into the union, as patriotism is
always being used against the
workers.
Mackasey was attacked for his
position. He claimed he was against
this flag business, but he didn't
want to go against the wishes of a
local. But, the shoe workers re-
member his statement in the press
on militant workers, and this is
only continuation Of his policy.
Although the resolution was
placed on file, there was a good dis
cussion and all agreed that the &C
ton taken by the stitchers was
against our constitution, and only
helps the manufacturers of Lynn.

LOWELL, Mass.-A wholesale at

LEWISTON, Me. - The disSatiS-

organization in convincing the
manufacturers how nice they are
and how willing to do business they
are, is growing every day. 1t

the mixed Local No. II in Lewis
ton, Me.
One speaker after another de-
nounced their policies, their or
ganizationsl inability, and called
them to resign if they could not
carry on the work. They were
criticized for not calling full meet
ings of the General Board. A res
olution was passed to criticize our
resident G. B. committee for lack
of activity, and for not calling a
full meeting of the G. B. to take
up seriously the situation in the
union.
1t was also decided to stop the
arbitrary splitting of our small
local into different crafts, and to
have joint meetings. 1t was pointed
out that the splitting was done by
Zimmerman and his boys here, to
make jobs for more supporters, and
to create the impression that they
are making progress, that they have
three locals instead of one, even if
it means the ruin Of the whole or
ganization.
1t was also decided to support
the resolution presented by the
Boston Stitchers' Local. This res
olution called for a fight against
arbitration and wage cuts, for the
development of campaign to get
relief for the unemployed shoe
workers, and for the passage of
the Workers Unemployment and
Social Insurance Bill HR 1898, in
direct opposition to Mr.. BiXby who
opposed the passage of that bill,
favoring the bill proposed by Sen
ator Walsh of Massachusetts,.
Should I mention that our or
ganizer, Mr.. Mckee, lost himself at
the sudden attacks, and declared
himself in love" with the left
wingers, saying that they are nee

in life he could muster for them7
Is there any sane worker who would
not be economical, if he had the
money with which to be economical.
Nowhere in the pamphlet do
these distinguished" dentists and
physicians even hint at the only
means possible for giving workers
medical and dental care which they
need so badly. We search in vain
for any suggestion of means to
restore the workers, and conse-
quently, the dentists and physicians
income. Nowhere is there breathed
a word about Social and Unemploy-
ment Insurance, the only way to
enable a patient to "see his dentist
twice year." or even once in two
years.
The pamphlet and the broadcasts
are financed by the Dental Supply
Co. to boost its sales via the dem
lists and physicians who are dis
tingushed" enough to broadcast and
thus advertise themselves. We could
hardly expect this company and
their distinguished" statesmen to
urge a fight for unemployment in
surance; for it is these "distin-
guished" dentists and physicians
who, together with their wealthy
patients and the industries which
they control, who will have to pay
for unemployment insurance. They
bark up another tree. BY pretend
ing to be interested in economical
dentistry, the good health of the
public, ETC., they give the illusion OF
caring for the vital needs of the
masses, while gaining the advantage
of having themselves noticed.

Union Officials Hid Bosses
ByApatlly and Flag Waoing'
SHOE WORKERS! SAVE
YOUR UNION!

On this page today we have
letters from shoe workers in most
of the important shoe centers in
New England. All of them tell
one stOry-a gigantic conspiracy
to smash the United Shoe and
Leather Workers Union is afoot.
The flag waving in Lynn, the
removal Of shops from Boston
and other union centers, the at
tempt to organize company
union in Lowell are all part of
this conspiracy.
From the letters it is evident
that where the union officials
are not actively engaged in help
ing the shoe manufacturers, their
complete apathy serves the same
end. Already a movement has
been started to convince the
shoe workers to accept wage cuts
in order to "pacify" the bosses.
The failure on the part Of the
officials to take up the struggle
for the thousands of unem-
pIOyed shoe workers aggravate
the situation.
Only the rank and file under
militant leadership can defeat
the attempts of the bosses and
their agents to smash the union.
The movement for the calling of
a special Emergency Convention
has been initiated. It must re-
ceive the support Of every honest
member of the q. S. & l.. w. u.
The letter from Boston, Mass,
contains the proposals to this
convention. Every shoe worker
should discuss them and rally
his union brothers in the fight
to have them adopted, and for

and file committee to carry them

Dear Comrade Editor.
1t is clear to all of us here that
if it had not been for the crooked
ness of politics that the Communist
candidate for the First Congress
ional District, Comrade A. M. Foss-
man, would have received probably
three to four hundred, or perhaps
more votes. However, we know that
the ruling class will steal, cheat and
kill if necessary, to remain in
power. The Mobile papers printed
the lying statement that the Social
ist and Communist candidates had
received about so to 100 votes COM
bined.
The workers here are beginning
to see that the only way out is the
Communist, revolutionary way out
of the crisis.
