Seamen Continue
Fight Against
Standard Oil Go.
iBy a Marine Worker Correspondent

by Marine Worker Correspondent
BALTIMORE, Md.-Feb. IS, 1884,
the mass demonstration and parade
against Standard Oil Co. was held
here in Baltimore, under the auspices
Of the Marine Workers Industrial
Union.
Placards condemned the Standard
Oil Co.'S blacklist system and their re-
fusal to recognize the Centralized
Shipping Bureau and their refusal to
have the rotary system of shipping
controlled by an elected committee
of seamen, elected by the rank and
file seamen with no discrimination
regardless of race, creed or color and
no favoritism shown regardless of
what union or aff1liation a seaman
may have.
The parade went up Broadway to
Baltimore st. and continued through
the heart of Baltimore to st. Paul
st. then to the main offices Of the
Standard Oil Co. where a mass meet
ing was held and a delegation of sea-
men went up into the Offices and pre-
sented the demands.
As is usual when you have to
deal with rotten concerns, they work
the old army game of passing the
buck. We were told that they had
nothing to do with the shipping end.
It is evident that the Standard Oil
Co. will give us a hard fight against
the Centralized Shipping Bureau as
they want to keep the crews terrorized
aboard their ships with their black
ball system. We, the MWI.U. and
the Waterfront Unemployed Council
are placing piclets on the Standard
Oil Gas Station in Baltimore and
also at their docks in Canton.
1 have been plackoalled from the
company for writing an article about
the conditions on Standard Oil Co.
ships. They do not like to have the
truth about their ships exposed to
the public.
We are also fighting these Standard
Oil shipping crimps vino sell jobs by
getting a seaman to pay months
board and room in advance and then
ship him out in few days with no
refund.
In Boston they have their crimp
who lives and runs store and board
ing house in Everett and from per-
sonal experience I know that in order
to ship you must run a bill with
him. New York has its boarding
house crimp on Staten Island.

SAINTS, a marked improvement in the
lot Of the agricultural laborers - all
this would have welded the vast
majority of the peasants together in
close alliance with the proletariat,
and not have delivered the peasantry,
as now, into the power Of fascist
demagogy.
Russia could feed itself. This is
true. But the Russian proletariat,
betrayed by international Social-dem-
ocraCy, was not confronted with the
starvation which Otto Bauer is now
employing to scare the Austrian
workers. To avoid starvation, says
Otto Bauer, the proletariat Of Cen
trail Europe had to capitulate to the
Entente, which alone was able to give
bread to the Austrian workers. But
had the proletariat of Central Eu-
rope adopted a correct revolutionary
policy, Russia would have been able
to feed Central Europe. Had there
been an alliance between the Russian
proletarian revolution and the prole-
tartan revolution of Central Europe,
it would not have been necessary for
the Russian proletariat to resort to
war communism, to wage a hard
struggle for bread to feed the work.

PARTY LIFE
Shop Unit Leads in ActiUe
Support Of AUSTRIA Workers
Holds Shop Meeting; Sells Daily Workers;
Rallies Workers to Protest Meeting

Austria, Wednesday morning, our
shop nucleus called a special meet
ing of the workers at 10 p. m. in the
lunch room and after fervent and
inspired speech made by one OF our
comrades, a resolution was drawn up
and read. protesting the slaughter Of
women and children by the Austrian
fascist government and pledging
solidarity to the heroic Austrian
workers in their struggle for free
dom.
The workers of our shop unanI-
mously voted in favor Of this resolu-
ton. This resolution was then sent
to the Daily Worker and printed in
the Daily the following day. One Of
the comrades made suggestion to
send somebody to the Daily Worker
office for SO copies Of the extra
Daily, which came off the press 1t
p. m. on Wednesday. This was
done. A girl was stopped from work
for q. couple of hours, at the expense
of the union. Fifty extra DailieS
were brought and distributed among
the workers in the shop Thus did
our shop unit serve to interest our
workers in the class conflict raging
in Austria. Our workers we're made
aware Of the inseparable bond be-
tween themselves and the revolution
airy Austrian workers.
Friday, at 3 p. M, all New York
workers we're called upon to close the
shop in a mass political strike in
support of their brave Austrian COM
rades and go in body to Madison
Square Garden.
Once again our comrades, acting
upon their own initiative, called, thru
the Shop Committee, meeting OF
our workers at IL o'clock in the shop
lunch room They were told about
the demonstration to be held at
Madison Square Garden as an ex-
preston of support with the heroic
Austrian workers and as a protest
against murderous Austrian faScism.
And it was, therefore proposed by
ORG of our comrades. who felt the
sentiment would be in favor, that
We stop work at three o'clock and
go in body to the Garden.
After the discussion for the prop
osition, a motion was made and
carried. One hundred workers of the
Bleyer's Shop of various political af
filiations, rallied enthusiastically TO
the support of the Austrian workers.
This is an example of the awaken
ing of class consciousness in the
minds and hearts of the American
workers which can be accomplished
by the initiative OF truly leading
shop nucleus. 1t is my belief that
lesson in unit leadership is to be
drawn FROM this wrlte-up on the ac-
tivities Of our unit.

We cannot promise in ev y case

will be utilized in some effective

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
Nervous Scratching-ViosteroI

G. S.-The itching you are COM
planning about seems to be of ner-
vous origin brought about by the diff
ference in temperature upon removal
Of your clothes. You will find that
this urge to scratch does not occur
during the summer months. Our ad-
vice is to sponge the itch parts with
rubbing alcohol as soon as you re-
move the clothes, and allow it to
evaporate. You will find that this
will prevent your skin from itching
Viosterol is substance which has
been irradiated with the ultraviolet
ray and has acquired Vitamin-D
properties. 1t is used mainly in rick
cts. Your two-month infant and
three year-old child do not need it,
if they have no signs of ricketts,. The
indiscTiminate use of Viosterol is TO
be condemned. If the children are
below weight, it is better to give them
cod-liver oil. The fresh cod-liver oil
does not lose its efficacy when fla
vored with mint or chocolate; but
unscrupulous manufacturers often
disguise an inferior or stale oil by
adding these and other flavors. Our
regards to Mrs. S.

Y. C. L. Member, Brooklyn.-The

necessarily follow that one or all his
