'Endeavour'

In 1871 James Ashbury Of
England was a persistent man.
The previous year his challenge
for the Americas cup had been
accepted by the New York Yacht
Club and his schooner Cambria.
hitherto unbeatable, was tenth
in a fleet of % American
schooners, with Magic first and
the 20-year-old America fourth.
He had the 2SO-ton Livonia in
1871, built at Ratsey's shipyard,
CoWes, but to lift the cup he
must win four races against
either Palmer, Dauntless, Co.
lumbia or Sappho. He lost
twice to Columbia for one win,
twice to Sappho, and his per.
sistence failed to gain the
trophy.
In 1875 Charles Clifford sailed
down the st. Lawrence from
Canada on his schooner Coun-
tess of Dufferin and met John
S. Dickerson on the usual course
from Staten Island to Sandy
Hook and return. Although the
challenger had to race but one
defender under a new ruling,
and they were off to a flying
start with the gun instead of
at anchor as formerly, the Made
line was over the finish we'll
ahead of the Canadian in both
the races, with the American
close behind her just for old
times sake, having followed the
wake of the challenger over the
starting line.

the hope they will be published in

born citizen, ex-service man,
having done service in both army

general.
1 am married man, with two
children. I have graduated from
our public schools, have always
been as patriotic as most anyone,
have led clean, honest life, until
now, when I find it impossible to
do so. The so-called depression
has separated me from my family.

teen, who last June graduated
from High School with honor. and
without any help from me, as 1
have not been able to do anything
for her in years, in fact she is two

NEW YORK.-FelloW workers IN
the stewards department: since the
strike of 1921 our conditions have
become well nigh unbearable. We
work all hours Of the clock for the
miserable wages of $3.50 per month.
We have to pay for uniforms, pay
for pressing and laundry and pay
the chief pantry man, glory hole
steward and linen man, and after
Shaving 16 hours a day, when the
trip is over, we are week from the
breadline. In most of the companies
we have to do longshore work for
stewards pay. Thousands of us
getting ruptured doing work we are
not fitted for.
After the lockout of 1921, the chief
owners put the seaman's law in the
waste basket, as the Moro Castle
disaster proved. That company, as
well as many others, compelled a
waiter to run two settings.
Those of us on the beach see
thousands of men who helped to
make dividends for the parasites,
stand for hours in front of the South
st. Municipal lodging house waiting
to get bowl of soup.
BY organization we can compel
those parasites to put more men to
work, by the 8-hour day in the
steward dept.
The stewards are compelled to
wash cups, glasses and silver, as well
as to scrub floors and in spare time
paint rooms. After doing six weeks
Of this work one has to go to the

Now this can be changed not by law,
but by organization We stewards

our lives; surely you are not so dumb
as to listen to Anbell or Grange, who
say there is no class struggle in
America.

Dictatorship
Rules in Vest
Makers Union
By a Worker Correspondent


NEW YORK.-There is actually
no difference between Hitler in Ger
many and Peter Monet in the Vest
Makers Union. This Monet is con-
troll commissioner in the Anal
gamated Clothing Workers Union.
Not only does he have control of the
work, but he controls the life of
every member in the union.
At the election recently held in
the Vest Makers Local, Monet used
exactly the same methods Hitler
does in Germany. First he threat
ened the members that they would
lose their jobs if they did not vote as
they are told by his henchmen. The
chairmen of various shops were told
to bring down all the workers and
vote as Hitler wants them to, or
the work will be taken away from
those shops.
At the last couple of meetings
where he presided he wouldn't let
members speak or even raise ques-
tons.
Outside of the dirty work he did
in New York, he brought four buses
full of girls from Dorchester and
Passaic, gave them numbers and
told them to vote. That wasn't ALL
Fearing tn at the vest makers
might revolt against the outrageous
injustice done them, he had police,
detectives, and gangsters in the
union on the day of the election to
see that everything goes through
smoothly.

month, with promises of a $500
policy in case of death.
A member Of the union died and
his family never received this $500
policy. If we dare to criticize these
officials they threaten us with
fines, and bring us up on charges.
If the conditions Of the white work
ers are unbearable, it's twice as
mbearable for the Negro workers.
In the summer season, when the
bosses needed us and we could have
demanded our rights, the union Of
ficials did not hold any meetings.
The bosses are always crying that
they are going into bankruptcy
Meanwhile their factories are ex-
panding and our wages are getting
smaller.
It's still fresh in our minds that
Sofman and ziebold declared a false
bankruptcy in order to get rid of the
older workers, and after that step
the other bosses threatened bank
ruptcy. After putting out these
elderly workers they hired younger
workers. We will demand a living
wage and shorter hours and
strengthen our union by uniting,
men and women, Negro and white.

pretty well my condition. And since
I've been losing weight rapidly, I
have to take either cod liver oil or
vioSterol to build up health. I am
five feet six, and weigh 1T lbs"
Our Reply
Dear COmrade J. OFT would be
easier to give you concrete advice if
you gave us more details as to your
illness. You do not state whether a
definite diagnosis of TB. (tubercle
bacili found in the sputum, or
X-ray evidence) was made in your
case; nor how much weight you have
recently lost.
1t is true that part Of the neces-
sary treatment of T.B. patients is
hygenic and educational; and, there
fore, you perhaps do know more
about yourself than some other pa
tients. But if so. you must realize
that any really definite loss of
weight is significant, and demands a
new check-up by a good doctor of
clinic; also that vioSterol alone will
not arrest an active case without
other measures. On the other hand,
there are certain people who nat
urally tend to be thin (often with
family history Of leanneSS) who give
the doctor some concern on this ac-
count, whereas for them it may be
their perfectly normal weight.
We cannot tell from your letter,
but if you have definitely lost weight
recently, or have other suspicious
symptoms, a new check-up is i'm
perative. If, on the other hand, you
have only lost two or three pounds
over a considerable period, and have
no other signs of activity, we can
advise you by letter and encourage
you to continue hygienic living, and
attempt to put on what weight you
can.
Recent work has not shown that
viosterol has any value either in the
treatment of tuberculosis or in help
ing an adult on weight. For the
last-named purpose, cod liver oil
would be better, since it has def
mite food value and is cheaper.
The samples of yiosterol you
mention, and their use, is not ad-
vised. We repeat that you would
best help yourself by securing a good
general examination, including es-
pecially the state of your lungs.

CRITICISM THAT is NEEDED

1NCW O1h, IN.
Dear Comrade Editor:
I was going to "Iet it slide" in
uncomradely fashion, but since you
printed the criticism of the Hern-
don demonstration at Rockland
Palace, the companion piece ought
to follow. was at the Bronx
Coliseum the night of Angelo
Herndon's appearance, and I must
say the whole affair was badly run
off.
At the demonstration last week
on the square in support of the
textile strike, the same deplorable
disorder prevailed that SO many
comrades and bystanders have
criticized. You'd think by now
they'd know enough to exhibit a
little self-control. The meeting
was miserably small, and even this
small turnout was broken up into
chattering cliques. If they aren5't
interested in the speaker, they
should go away, not stand and talk
small talk, which sounds very
silly in the face of a life-and-
death strike and is annoying to
those who would like to listen.

NEWARK, N. ITO all pressers,

Pressers are speeded up like ma

and as the strike progressed the
