BESSENdER, Ala.-The Tennes-
see Coal, Iron and Railroad Com
pany is trying every way possible
to force the company union on us.
In Bessemer, where the Readers
Ore Mine, biggest ore mine Of the
T. c. L, is located. there is a local
of the International, Mine, Mill,
and Shelter Workers Union. The
local has membership of about
1000.
The mine has been closed down
close to seven months. When they
resume work the company wants
to open up under the company
union. Now the company union is
carrying on a campaign with every
means possible The main policy
was an attempt to starve and
freeze the bona fide union men into
the company union.
The majority of the bona fide
union men who have families tried
to work small piece of ground so
that they could raise some sweet
potatoes, corn, etc. for their fami-
lies to have something to eat this
winter.
At the present time, all Of the
bona fide union men are on the
welfare lists with the exception of
8 few who we're called to work
two weeks ago. The company has
special stools to tell them what
goes on in the camp. Will Jones
is Negro stoll and the camp
watchdog who works with the COM
pany sheriff, Jack Brown
Will Jones goes around the camp
trying to find out how many sweet
potatoes, corn, chickens, ETC., the
union men have at home. If the
union men have as much as two
banks of sweet potatoes, a little
corn and a few chickens, which
they worked hard all summer to
raise, Will Jones will report back
to Jack Brown, and few days
later the worker will receive a card
from the welfare telling him that
he is cut off.
The company gave Jack Brown
complete control over the company
property. Jack Brown is the COM
pany high sheriff. His main drive
is against the bona fde union men.
He stopped them from getting wood
on the company's property.
Jack Brown tells the bona fde
union men that he will let the
company union men get al the
wood they want off company prop
erty. we will help men who help
the company he tells them. Not
only that, but when the union men

ty miners who we're locked out as
result of a strike in early Novem-
Der have been reinstated as a re-
suit of a decision handed down by
the National Labor Relations Board,
The Board, however, refused to
force the company to pay the men
for all the time they we're out, in
spite of the fact that the men we're
discharged for no legitimate reason.
The strike had originally grown
out of the fact that the company
refused to drill the holes, furnish
powder to shoot the coal, and lay
the tracks, as it had been doing up
until that time,
The men took strike action. I'M

T. B. Of the Hip
J. B.:-From the description In
YOUR letter, your condition was most
likely one of tuberculosis of the
right hip Joint This is a chronic,
Understanding condition, which In the
majority of cases completely fuses
or stiffens the Joint. The shortening
Of the limb, which nearly always
occurs. Is due to the disease eating
away or destroying part Of the hip
bone, thus shortening that limb.
The cause of this condition is the

is generally due to lowered resis-
lance or vitality in that particular
child or adult. In children the tu-

particularly milk from unhealthy or
tubercular cows.
You ask whether it is permissible
for you to have child In view Of
the fact that YOU have had no

and that you have been enjoying
perfect health for many years, the
answer is yes. However, II the hip

that you be thoroughly examined by
an orthopedic physician regarding
your hip condition.

which we are being used by those
who get rich on our labor. We
are proud that our school is so i'm
portant that Mr.. Hearst is afraid
of us and has to resort to lies and
attempts to stir up violence against
us because he realizes that the
working class is growing stronger
every day and will not remain en-
shaved. We are also glad to say
that many workers who read his
articles have written to the school
and come to the school, and en-
rolled for courses.
We want to turn Mr.. Hearst's at
tack upon our school into a victory
for the working class by showing
that it a good lesson in the way
the capitalist press is used as a

plumbers" Plumbers Pockets Of
Workers

n G. j., Kenosha, Wise: -
". Plumbers Stomach Tablets,
for ulcer of the stomach, proves to
be a mixture of ordinary alkaline
powders: Bismuth Subnitrate, Mag
nesium Oxide & Sodium Bicarbo-
nate, Mr.. Pfunder when asked for
information concerning his prepara-
ton, generously offered to give any
information except the formula, /"
which is secret" The analyses by
the Bureau of Investigation of the
American Medical Association re-
vealed the golden secret.
Furthermore, Plumbers uses the
old fashioned Bismuth subnitrate
which occasionally causes methe-
moglobinemia, a serious blood dis
order, instead of the harmless Bis
muth subcarbonate, which is now
generally prescribed by physicians.
This serves to emphasize again
what we have often stated in this
column, /. e., that quack patent
medicines are often potentially
harmful, as in this case; that, when
not harmful, they cost much more
than if bought under their proper
chemical names; and finally, that in
most cases they are just as worth
less as sugar water, having no value
at all for the illness.
1t should be a matter of pride
among workers that, just as they
will not fall for the subtle pre-
fascist demagogy of bourgeois poll
ticians, and just IS they will not
fall for the mystic opium of priests,
ministers and rsbbis, they will also
not swallow the unscientifie patent
medicines of the Lydia Pinkhams,
Father Johns, etc., etc. All these
groups squeeze money from the
worker on false pretenses of one
kind or another. They are all
worthless. They all appeal to ig-
norance and are based on magic,
mysticism and falsehood.
Asthma
r. W., Allentown, Pa.:-Asthma is
a word used to describe certain
symptoms. But there are many
causes for asthma. Saying that you
have asthma does not mean that
you know the cause of the attacks,
The most common variety of asthma
is called bronchial asthma, You
apparently have bronchial asthma;
but several things have to be done
to make certain of it:
IAN X-ray of the chest.
Careful examination of the
nose and throat.
Skin tests,
These tests are done by a special
ist in asthma and hay fever, who
injects into your skin certain sub
stances which may be responsible
for your attacks. The substance

The moher has kept this girl in

Somebody Is all excited over 10.
900 Negroes registering since the
primaries. Something unusual has
10 pass. The Negro Is at last
taken seriously In Detroit politics.
1t is said that the Hon. Chas.
Roxborough is responsible for
them registering and that his ac-
tivity in SO doing, seriously threat
the State and county Demo-
cratic tickets" Too bad, he ought
not do that. That is something that
one Negro could hardly be expect
ed TO accomplish.
This Is miracle when you stop
to consider IT, Mr. Marlborough is
sufficiently compensated, even II
he should not be elected--to know
that he is given credit for regis
tering $4,000 Negro voters who
- l.etro't. but who have not
had sufficient pride i'm their rgn,
'~anchise TO register.
Why is II inferred that all ..
them will vote against the entire
nd County tickets of the De
mocratic party? These Negroes
could hardly be expected to vote
against Mr. Roxborough, and they
will not, but it is taking entirely
too much for granted to say that
because they are Negroes they will
vote for all Republicans regard
less OF merit. That day has passed
with the Negro voter.
On the other hand. there are
many OF us who believe that the
day has come for us to make our
selves felt as a political power. We
congratulate Mr.. RoXborough Tor
having so organized our masses In
this way.
II is said that federal investi-
gationgation is on to see II fraud
has not been used in this large
registration of Negro voters. Well
suppose the investigation proves
only here and there an act OF
fraud That will surely be a more
certain way TO cndanger the state
and county democratic tickets" for
we do not relish being investigat-
ed because We register.
You may ask us from whom are
we quoting in this column? We will
not say but we certainly are quot
ing and from one who is In a posi-
ton to know. II looks as II some
of us who have been sleeping in
our house have at last decided to
get up and vote in November.
