W. Manager
Is ReeonciIed
TOCOnlnunists
BY a Telegraph Worker
Correspondent

NEW YORK; am a manager
for the Western Union Telegraph
Company. Your worker correspond
ence page was brought to my at
tention in quite an unusual man
ner.
Ny Office is located in a residen-
tial part of the city where the So
called reds have frequent meetings
in front of relief station. Quite
frequently I have been annoyed
by their apparently meaningless
and unceasing zeal to battle the
cops. My messengers would be at
tracted by the commotion, and
Mrs. Doe" would not get her tele-
gram until their boyiSh curiosity
was satisfied. Once, 7 went out
looking for these boys who had de-
layed returning to the Office. An
other red riot" I thought.
The sight that met my eyes when
I arrived upon the scene was quite
a shock to my conception of law
and order. Big blue-coated cops
were pushing men and women
around in most brutal fashion.
I actually saw the cop push wo-
man with small child in her arms
into the gutter.
Ny admiration was aroused by
their resistance, There was an in
stinctive urge to help these people
bat it seemed that in this case dis
erection was the better part Of valor.
So these were the alien agitators,
the reds, the foreigners who were
tearing down the government Their
only crime was that they had the
CUTS to protest against hunger.
I picked out my boys who were
interested spectators and IN my
agitation forgot to bawl them out.
The next day, a protest demonstra-
ton against the previous days po-
lice terror was held in front of the
= same relief station. Passing by
during the lunch hour I was &C
costed by a young woman to buy
the Daily Worker and read all about
the fight against hunger and for
~ adequate relief.
I bought paper and stuck it
shamefacedly into my pocket. When
I got home that night was par
ticularly interested in the page in
which letters from workers in vari-
Gus industries were published. These
letters seemed to be the real Nc
Coy. They brought home the reali-
cation that my own job with its
miserable working conditions was
not an isolated case. These writers
were fellow workers, unknown as
they were to me. I felt the utter
lack of medium Of expression in
the telegraph field.
Being interested, began to buy
this paper more frequently. One
day I came across some letters from
telegraph workers. 1t made me feel
good to know that some telegraph
slave was Juggling at his leash.
Somehow, it gave me a feeling Of
solidarity Well, here 1 am.
I could go on telling about the
peculiar position of manager who
ehas a title but is really gloritied
clerk doing the bidding of super
intendent who in turn is afraid of
his shadow. I could tell you about
working conditions, long hours, i'm
possible sales quotas to fulfill, ex-
ploitation of the underpaid mes
sengers and other phases of OPP
preston in which the manager is
not the least victim.
We really are telegraph workers
and should feel a unity with the
oppressed clerks, operators and mes
sengers.

Attention. Readers

IN spite of our many requests that
all comrades writing in for in
formation to the Workers Health
column send in their full names and
addresses, most Of the letters COM
ing in contain initials, or no name
at all, and no address.
We answer all letters privately
Very few of the replies are published
in the column, since many of the
questions are not questions Of gen
eral interest; also many Of the sex
questions cannot be published in the
paper.
We urge our readers once more
that when sending in for advice to
please give their full names and
addresses, which we will keep in
strict confidence.

Union with this pack Of wolves?"
Not only that, but mass lay-off
is again on with the majority of
the company union men on the
list. The workers are saying that
we must organize Immediately for
the final battle that must come
soon. Only by getting in the A. F.
of L. locals and cleaning the takers
out, establishing an honest rank and
file leadership, will we be able to
put up the scrap for our jobs and
for better conditions on the job.
Let's unite now for the final battle
is soon to come.

MussoIini Solves A Problem
BY ANN BAR TO

ITALY Likely to Gust Women
L From Industry" is the head
ing of New York Times clipping
before me. 1t shows that Mus
sOlini and Hitler are brothers in
their position in regard to women.
Let me quote a little of that
clipping. Premier Benito MussO-
lini was reported tonight to be
planning to take all women work.
ers out of Italy's industry.
1.-TWO reasons, it was reliably
learned, influenced him in his de-
cision. He holds first, that jobs
interfere with what he believes to
be women's primary duty, the
building up of families and the
increase of Italy's population, and
second, that the positions women
hold should be filled with men,
thus decreasing unemployment,
and raising the morale Of the
people"
AN EDITORIAL in MussOlini's
n "Popolo dItalia," of Milan,
holds forth along this line as fol-
lows: "The exodus of women from
the field of labor doubtless would
have economic repercussions in
many families, but legion of
men would lift Inundated heads
and a hundred times more new
families would enter the national
life"
MUSSOLINI wants to "solve" the
M problem of unemployment by
taking jobs away from one section
of the population, and giving them
to another. Mechanically, OF
course, if this were done, the sum
total of all employed would not
be increased. But fascist philosophy
is thing apart. Once women lose
their jobs, Mussolini tells the men
the men can lift Inundated
heads. The fact that the same
poverty remains, that there will be
economic repercussions," concerns
him not at all The population
would be increased. And Mussolini
would have more raw material to
convert into bleeding meat for his
war machine. This is the promise
fascism holds for women.

Seanen Back
.JObless Bill

BY a Marine Worker Correspondent
BALTIMORE, Md. - Indicating
their displeasure at the present
system of relief, the seamen and
other unemployed workers Of this
city registered their desire for a
change by voting Eyes" on ballots
favoring passage of H. r. 1898. The
ballots were furnished by the Ma
rine Workers Industrial Union and
in the few days of balloting more
than 400 votes were obtained.
A canvass made by M.WIU.
members disclosed the fact that the
seamen here charge the local relief
heads with graft, Incompetence and
deliberate negligence, citing as spe-
cific instances the seaman near
death, at this writing, in the in
Urinary at Frederick and Baltimore
Streets, and the dozen or more sea-
m n at the various hospitals
throughout the city, victims of the
garbage served at the local project.
The seamen also complain that
heavy winter coats are purposely
withheld.
During the week a column of
seamen marched through the streets
to Holcombe's, local relief incum-
bent, office to demand these winter
clothes which they charge the re-
lief heads with having stored away
IN warehouses and refusing to issue.
The local Waterfront Unemploy-
ment Council is gathering seamen
to rally a second time for the coats.
A campaign is being carried on to
have the relief heads removed or
to force them to improve the quality
OF the food at the project and to
issue the desired winter garments.
That the shore workers are be-
ginning to realize the seriousness
or their own economic condition
and see the necessity for immediate
action is evidenced by the fact that
they are now compelling their lead
ers to take any and all steps to
force relief authorities to recognize
their plight. The Waterfront Unem-
ployment Council greeted these
militant workers and offered them
cooperation.
At an open air meeting held at
Broadway and Thames Streets dur
ing the week seamen carried plac-
ards denouncing the relief officials
and demanding that they issue
heavy winter clothing. Placards
also denounced the $3.50 sell-out
agreement negotiated for the sea
men by self-appointed IS.U. heads
Seamen rallied to these meetings
and it is expected that in the com
ing week the coats will be issued
At this writing it is said that
"Porky' Duggan, otherwise known
as the "Galleyrat," has resigned his
position as cook in the project.

WORKERS AND FARMERS IN
UNIFORM"
Norfolk, Va.


Dear Comrade Editor:
Your editorial of December 20,
entitled, Workers and Farmers in
Uniform" was superb. Let's have
more of them.
Wearing the navy blue of the
FIRST line of defense" I fully agree
with you when you say, ''for the
soldiers and sailors to know the
true significance of the class strug-
gle and the role they are called upon
to play would be indeed disastrous
to the parasitic rich"
From my own experiences aboard
ship, 1 know only too well how the
officers, many of them rich them
selves, do everything they possibly
can to keep the enlisted personnel
from mixing in politics"
Sports of every description, movies,
smokers, dances, anything, every
thing is utilized that would tend
to keep the men from becoming in
tereSted in political and economic
conditions.
News of the achievements of the
Soviet workers in building a sane,
classics social order are either en-
tirely omitted or distorted without
any regard for facts.
Obviously we can expect little
worthwhile information from the
Hearst, News, Mirror and other
trashy publications. They are de-
cidedly on the side of big profits.
In revolutionary times, revolu-
tionary measures must be taken.

States Chamber of Commerce read

bIUUhIyII, N 7,
Dear Comrade Editor:


Dear Comrade Editor:
Buying your paper regularly, I
have little suggestions to make,
and think it is a good one. The
stand where I buy the paper has
all the other papers laid out fiat,
in full view, and when I ask for the
Daily Worker, the news dealer has
to dig down in a counter, out of
view, to get one. Buyers should ask
the dealer to put out the paper in
view of everyone.
If we gave little more space to
news Of the day, etc., those who
could afford only one paper would
get everything they want in the
Daily Worker and I think the cir
culation would grow. C.M.

Hot bricks and glass jars full of
hot water can be used, but they
must be wrapped well to guard
against burning. One emergency
case, warmed by corn cobs heated
in an oven, recovered from the
shock and submersion, but died
later of burns.
The operator must take charge of
the rescue work. He must sense
every change in the patient and
anticipate every need. After he be-
gins the artificial respiration, he
must give directions to intelligent
bystanders.
One should be sent for doctor
with the following information:
First, the nature Of the case; Sec
ond, what is being done, and third,
where the patient can be found.
The last, of course, is most i'm
portant but it often is forgotten by
excited helpers. Better send two
along, one to check on the other.
An inhalator, machine for sup
plying oxygen and the stimulant
to breathing, carbon dioXide,
should be procured if possible. In
Indianapolis, the fire department
emergency squad is equipped with
an inhalator and the men are
trained in its use.
The inhalator is to be used only
with the prone pressure method and
artificial respiration never should be
withheld pending it's arrival.

is DALE'S FACE RED?
| HE PRINTS ROBINSON'S
FACE, MINTON'S NAME

Newspapers make some peculiar
errors sometimes. The intricacy
of their assembling makes con-
slant perfection impossible and
thereby hangs the tale of why
George Dales face is very, very
red.
The veteran Muncie publisher
decided little art was called for
after the recent Democratic state
convention, so he decided to use
photographs of Governor Paul v.
McNutt, Sherman Minton, senate
nominee, and R. Earl Peters, Mr..
Minton's closest opponent.
Mr.. Dale'S PoSt-Democrat did
very well with the picture of the
Governor and Peters, but erred on
Minton.
Below the caption, Victor" and
above the name line, Sherman
Minton" appeared the favorite re-
production of Senator Arthur r.
Robinson, the Republican incum-
bent.
Mr.. Dale's face is very red.
And now, Democrats are sug-
costing of the senate nominee that
he has prima facie case of libel.

Another person, or several if pos
sible, should be sent for blankets
and hot water bottles. They should
be warned strictly of the danger of
burning the unconscious victim.
When breathing has become auto
matte and regular and the subject
is conscious, he cam be carried
(never assisted to Walk) to bed
where he must be kept quiet for at
least day. The strain on the
heart has been terrific and nothing
must be done to increase it. Com
plete rest for at least tWenty-foul
hours therefore is necessary.
Correct application of prone pres

time is apt to be firing, so it is ad-
vantageous to have a change OF

The relief operator kneels beside

ables him to carry on with the

Drowning persons die of cold as
well as lack of air. The wet clothes,
the exposure to the wind and the
contact with the wet ground all
contribute to a rapid loss of body
heat, especially since heart action
is impaired by lack of oxygen.
The patient needs heat almost as
much as air, and it must be applied
as soon as possible.
Blankets should protect the sub
ject from the cold ground and a
blanket should be placed over him.
1t is not difficult for the operator
to work through the blanket.
Hot water bottles then are pre-
pared and, using care that the pa
tient is not burned, since the pa
tent can feel nothing, placed in the
arm pits, between the legs, even I'M
der the abdomen and wherever heat
can be applied.

GERMAN SPLIT
is SMOOTHED
over QUIETLY
Armed Truce Is Declared
by Conservative and
Nazi Factions.

By UntteG Press
BERLIN, June 20.-A grave split
in the government between the
Junker- Conservative faction and
the more rabid Nazi radicals ap-
peared today to have been smoothed
over, at least temporarily.
Chancellor Adolf Hitler refused
to take sides openly in the dispute.
He upheld the actions of both fac
tons leading to belief that for the
present they would feel constrained
to get along under a sort of armed
truce"
The public has been blissfully I'M
aware that crisis has been i'm
pending, because the news of what
had been going on was not pub
liShed.
The situation came to a head
with a speech at Marburg univer-
sity Sunday by Vice-Chancellor
Franz Won Papen, leader of the con-
servatives. He attacked the radical
NaI campaign to muzzle criticism
and insisted that political leaders
must tell the people the truth.
Paul Joseph Goebbels, minister
of propaganda, had publication of
the speech suppressed. President
Paul Won Hindenburg wired Won
Papen his congratulations, indors-
ing the speech.
Won Papen appealed to Hitler,
and il was learned TODAY that Hitler
affirmed his agreement with con-
tents of the speech, but maintained
that the propaganda ministry was
justified in Withholding it from gen.
eral circulation by newspaper and
radio. His view was that it was
appropriate for a university, where
1t would be understood, but that
the general public might miscon-
Strue it and eXaggerate its import.
