Negroes Starve
By a Worker CORRESPONDENT

| MONTGOMERY, Ala want to
congratulate you on your growing
success and long may you prosper.
I've only been out of school a
short time, but I still feel 1 should
write of our hardships during and
after my school days. In Mont
gomery the colored children have
to walk from six to eight miles to
school. There are no buses for
them. But for the white ruling
class children there are the best
equipped buses. When we ride in
a street car we must sit in the ex-
treme end of the car, and then
we're crowded out. The conductor
yells at us and curses. If we show
dislike we are threatened. We pay
our money and should get the same
treatment as white passengers.
Down here most of the old people
who go to the Red Cross for aid
have not received one cent or pro-
visions and are starving White
workers, who are lucky to get a
handful of poison food, cannot
make it last a week, and the Negro
workers are denied even the lousy
feed. We aren't able even to feed
ourselves and children, but the
white boss class can ride in cars
and get aid from the Red Cross.
The Red Cross even repairs their
homes. and the Negro worker is
suffering.
The poor share troopers are get
ting an awful break. Most Of them
are naked and the land owners
aren't trying 10 give them any
clothes or food, nor wood, not one
red cent to even help the poor
sharecroppers, who are toiling and
struggling in rainy and cold
weather to get food for his young
ones. If he says anything about
being robbed by the landlords he is
threatened with terror and is forced
to sign bills and contracts. He is
compelled to stay and work for
nothing at all.
We must fight until the victory
is won.
If we all work comparatively
we'll win, for the greatest thing
needed is organization and struggle.
Fight for our rights, fight for
higher wages and shorter hours.
Let's end Jim -Crowism.

cattle shipped to eastern places to
be canned for the poor.
While hundreds of families in
towns went hungry, good beef rotted

poor people, whom a rumor had

beef only to find six choice beeves
dead in a corral too far gone for
human consumption.

dead beeves were thrown from the

There is no animal more dear to a
farmer than a milk COW. It is the

to pick cotton for so cents per hun
dred. There are, however, a few
scabs. It is very difficult to get to
these scabs because the boss keeps
them guarded. The bosses are
bloodthirsty because never before
have thev seen their cotton hanging
in the fields as it is now.
The Bankhead Bill is causing
them quite a bit of trouble. The
workers are very active in distribut-
ing. leaflets on the cotton picking

who are not guarded because the
landlord does not think he can tell
these young cotton pickers anything.
whereas an adult would be ordered
to stay away from the field, and in
many cases kicked or even hit over
the head. Young workers. the few
who we're on, have been cut entirely
off relief because they refused to
pick cotton at less than their de-
mand. However. they continue to
walk. miles and miles over the coun-
tryside to bring in all news they
can on the strike and what the
landlords are saving. AS many as
IS scabs have been made to Law
down their sacks in one part Of
Tallapoosa and help to win the
strike, because young worker had
made his way to the field and ex-
planned to them what the cotton
picking strike meant.

Bleeding from the Rectum


r. G., Bronx:-Bleeding from the
rectum is a symptom which demands
instant attention. The most COM
mon cause of rectal bleeding is
hemorrhoids, commonly known as
piles" There are many other
causes, however, and some may be
quite serious. For example, tumors
of the rectum may cause bleeding.
These may not necessarily be cam

severe pain which you get is sug-
gestive of an Inflammation rather

conditions causing rectal pain and
slight bleeding is assure of the

an liberation. A hstula may also
give the symptoms you describe.
AS for treatment, most of these
conditions require operation. Fis-
sures may occasionally be treated
successfully by local applications,
but the results are not very good.
The operation for the various con-
ditions mentioned are minor and
not serious, and should your con-
dition warrant one, you should
have no fear.

itch is an infection of the beard

are of no benefit. Ultra violet rays
are not effective, although X-rays
sometimes are. The best treatment
today for this disease is the use of
salve made up as follows:
Benzoya peroxide 100 grams
Quinolor 0.5 grams
Oil OF thyme 1.6 grams
Eucalyptol OF grams
Petroleum In equal parts to
Lanolin make up to
1000 grams.
Your druggist may have difficulty
in getting the "quinolor," which is
mixture of chemicals. In that
case you can get all these medicines
made up in the proper amounts in
Squibbs "Antiseptic ointment" This
is, Of course. quite expensive and is
an instance in which the large drug
and chemical houses exploit the

You will have to apply this salve
at least once every day; twice a
day would be better if your skin
does not become irritant. Even
after cure, this stubborn disease
may return. Therefore, continue
treatment for some time after the
skin clears up.
The diet upon which you have put
yourself, in which you cut out all
meats, green vegetables and raw
fruits, is very dangerous one. If
kept up for any length of time,
may cause more trouble than your
