W orkin e Hard But
Can't Earn Enough to
Pay Expenses
Bv a Worker Correspondent

BROOKLYN. N. VI am a city
travelling salesman and always have
been a class conscious worker. 7 have
never belonged to any union or rev.
dictionary organization.
For the past two and half years
I have been working hard, on
straight commission, and I must
confess that I didn't even earn my
travelling expense. I am sure that I
am not the only one among this
class of workers, probably thousands
or millions all through the U. S. A.
I have been reading the Daily
Worker for the past six months and
not once did I see through your
columns mention Of this class Of
workers.
Surely there must be a way to get
these workers to organize. I think
a little agitation through your paper
would wake them up and show them
that they belong in revolutionary
movement.
A class conscious worker.
Editorial Note Because they do
not perform manual labor and do
not wear overslls for their work,
salesmen used to think that they
belonged to better class of
people than just plain workers"
During the present economic
crisis, when the employers are re-
ducing their salaries or putting
them from a salary on a COM
mission basis and are firing thou
sands of them, statesmen, as the
above letters show. are beginning
to see that their jobs and wages
are not safer than those of other
workers, end that their place is
In the ranks OF the organized
labor movement, as part of
which alone they can conduct a
successful struggle for improving
their cO,>iitions. They should join
the Office Workers Union, ia w.
14th St., New York, to which Of
flee and department store workers
belong, whose problems are similar
to those Of the statesmen.

Domestic Workers VIII Have Battle
Song Too

Domestic Workers VIII Have Battle
Song Too
Now that the domestic workers
are organizing and putting up a
good proletarain struggle for better
conditions, songs relative to their
struggles are emerging. A ronicking
one full of sarcasm for the bour-
geois danes who save dimes by
doubling up the work loaded on the
household help, and waste dollars
on luxurious living, was printed in
the April Domestic Workers News.
Il cannot afford I cannot afford,
complains the mistress in this song,
which concludes, Yes, girls. let us
sing, come together and sing. AS the
ladies have done long before. we
cannot afford, we cannot afford To
slave for the bosses any more'
Another song climaxed by
strong spirit of revolt has been sent
to the Daily" We present it below,
under sketch which is part of the
heading of an inside page of the
Domestic workers News:

De floors and dey shine:

Stuck in de hands OBJ mine?

Says Railroad Work Is
 "Not Worth Notice''

Inquiries made by the Stew art News regarding what work is to be done by the Con- solidated Mining and Smelling Company in connection with it's program for the rehatili- tation and extension of the Canadian Northeastern Rail- way, elici.ed from President Warren now in Toronto, a tel egraphic reply to the effect that the work to be done this year on the road is net of suf- ficient importance to warrant nc,.ice.
 The rather noncommittal re- Fly is interpreted to mean a number of things but chiefly that the big Canadian mining company does not desire any fanfare of trumpets or roill of drums over what it evidently considers mere small change spending in ,,he preservation of it's franchise, although it means a great deal to this dist rict. However disappointing MT. Warren's answer may be, it must be recalled that the company is not at all addicted to public announcements and carries on it's most important projects with as little noise as possible. Which in world of universal wind-puffing and publicity seeking is not only novel bu: als0 somewhat ad- mirable.

Fertilization of Aleutians Planned In The Event Of
 Naval Farley Breakdown

The fertilization of Alaska and establishmentofnaval bas- es on the Aleutian islands in event of the failure of the next international naval conference was said in Washington re- ports Wednesday to be defi- nitely under consideration by the administration as part of a defense plan for the Pacific coast.
 Although official announce ent has been withheld, the ar rival last month of a large fleet of naval airplanes and submarines on a survey of the Aleutians and the present visit of a fleet of ten army bombing planes to interior Alaska, indi- cate that Alaska is receiving unwonted consideration as a possibly highly important fact or in national defense plans.

Road Bureau Head Visits

M. D. Williams, district en- gineer for the Bureau of Public Roads in Alaska, was an arriv- al in Hyder Sunday on the bu- reau motorship Highway.
 MT. Williems' visit was in connection with a regular sur vey of road construction and maintenance projects under his jurisdiction.
 During the course of his wis., it,interested residents discussed with MT. Williams the quest ion of having International Way between the boundary line and Premier Avenue for mally included in the local fed eral road system, with a view to it's improvement by the gov ernment.
 The important argument for such inclusion is that the indi- cated section of town highway carries approximately 99 per cent of all traffic passing to and from the upper Salmon basin over the government highway, with which it con- meets at Premier Avenue. Some misinformed residents believe the roadway is already a part of the federal system but this not correct.
 In view of the heavy traffic, the widening of the at present. narrow artery would be a great benefit but would be too cost ly for local agencies.

SUITS KILLED

Justice Jesse c. Adkins, of Dis.
trict Supreme Court, today dis
missed the suit for $250,000 dam
ages brought against former Sec
retarieS of the Treasury Andrew
w. Mellon and Ogden L. Mills by
the Standard Nut Margarine Com
pany on charges that they had
levied tax against the company's
products illegally.
The company charged that in
.'pril, 1929, the Commissioner of
Internal Revenue, at the direction
Of the defendants, attached their
products 10 cents a pound, when
the law in effect at the time pro-
vided for only a 2-cents.per.pound
tax.
The defendants claimed they
had acted in an official capacity
requiring exercise Of Judgment and
discretion, and that they were
privileged from suit because the
act was done in the performance
Of duty.
1t was also claimed by defend
ants that their discretion in the
matter was given as a result of the
statute imposing the 2-cent tax on
oleomargarine.
