Greater Effort
Behind Railroad
UnityNewSUrged
By a Worker Correspondent

0g a
NEW YORK.-There are many
ways to increase the circulation of
the workers press, but one, mostly
overlooked, is through group-inter-
est papers My work with the rank
and file railroad movements has
convinced me that a half million
railroad workers should read the
Daily Worker. But it is sorrowfully
true that there are but few who
read the Railroad Unity News, the
official organ of the Railroad
Brotherhood unity movement. These
transportation workers are victim
lied by New Deals and old tricks
of companies and labor takers.
A switchman in Buffalo gets $12
for two weeks pay. Papers de-
voted to their problems are wanted.
Distribution is lacking. A small
group in Chicago attempted to dis
tribute throughout the entire coun-
try this rank and file paper. Com
munist conventions have theorized
on the issue of organization among
the railroad workers. The most
powerful instrument is overlooked,
and its usefulness neglected.
Recently the unity group dis
cussed the problem of issuing only
one paper for June and July, thus
cutting down on the usefulness of
this instrument by one-twelfth.
When wage cuts have successfully
been extended for two years, this
paper is needed to combat the lies
of New Deal agents.
Active unity workers are needed
in all large rail centers, More rail-
road Unity News readers means
more Daily Worker readers.

brotherhood Officials Bring FOrt0ard PhOney
Proposals to Protect Company

C. g. N. w. ask for another loan
from the RIG. and that his organ
ization would use its influence to
help the road to get it. Brother
O'Connor apparently forgets that
most of the previous loans from the
government went to pay dividends
and interest on watered stocks and
bonds and not to increase employ
ment.
Garments Lodge 227 had passed a
motion asking the company to put
us on a three-day week, thus shar-
ing the work. This too was brought
up and Mr. Pangle said that would
have to be fought out by the men
in their own back yard. He seemed
perfectly willing to have them fight
over it-such fight would mean
a division between the older men
and the younger men on the ques-
ton of seniority rights and would
play into the hands of the COM
pany, which 3avors share the work
schemes. Such scheme would cost
the company nothing and would
lower the living standard of all the
men in the shop.
All seemed afraid to raise de-
mands for our benefit, which would
cut into the profits of the road.
Why not a demand for less speed
up, demand for payment of relief
by the road for all of us laid-off
Why not get in back of the cam
paign started by Machinists Lodges
915 and 478 for a six-hour day with
no reduction in our total earnings,
and why not force our organizations

adequate relief for all workers at
the expense of big business and
the government?

CHICAGO, In.-Mass layoffs are
again taking place on the Chicago
and North Western railroad in the
main carshops at Chicago and all
over the road. Previous lay-offs
aroused protest but no action has
been taken. This time every one is
demanding that something be done
by our General Chairman. The de-
mand was so strong and insistent
that four of the business agents led
a delegation of some II or 10 to the
Office of Mr.. Sargent, president of
the road.
They were informed that Sargent
was out of town and we're turned
over to a Mr.. Pangle to state their
case. The writer was not of the
delegation, but a worker mem
Der of the committee reported what
happened.
One business agent made a plea
that the company gather some sew
eral hundred disused locomotives
together and put them in repair
and that the shop craft organiza-
tons would sell them. He said that
there should be market for them
in China, Soviet Russia, South
America or somewhere. One worker
delegate informed him that the
roads in the Soviet Union used a
different gauge track and that any,
way the Soviets were building their
own locomtives and didn't need any
secondhand ones from this coun-
try. The company official pushed
aside the whole fantastic idea of
the shopcraft officials finding for
eign markets in a capitalist world
gone broke.
Then Maurice O'Connor, Garments
business agent, proposed that the

DELAY IN STARTING MEETINGS

DELAY IN STARTING MEETINGS
Hoboken, N. j.
I want to protest against your
protest meeting for this reason:
you deprived me of hearing all the
Speakers-Mary van Kleeck and Mr.
Bruce of the LID. for example
by starting the meeting an hour
late and by letting each speaker
rave on as long as he wished. Even
at that, because I live in New Jer-
sey, I didn't get home until 1890,
an impossible hour for a worker.
How about beginning organization
by organizing the next meeting-it's
only because the speakers we're good
that I'm mad.
M. F. LAWSON.
Editorial Note: The criticism of
the situations described above are
truly justified. Meetings are still
too long, and much time is taken
up by local speakers. These
difficulties can be overcome if the
organization of the meeting will
be given a little more attention
by the comrades in charge. Every
effort should be made to start the
meeting on scheduled time thus
affording the local" speaker time
to make a brief talk, and will not
deprive the audience from hearing
the main speakers.
We urgently request mass or
CARNATIONS, sympathetic groups
and our Party sections to take this
criticism seriously and make every
attempt to overcome these short
comingS.
This note also applies to a
letter on the same subject pub

impression among the thoughtless
and inconsiderate that we can be
disturbed in our regular routine, at
all hours, for the most trivial mat
ter. This abuse of our willingness
cannot be tolerated. 1t reached it's
climax late Tuesday night, when
Comrade G, brought in a crony to
take out stitch from his scalp.
After this service was rendered
(and it could have waited for an
other week., Comrade G. became
abusive when it was pointed out to
him that he had gained admittance
under a false pretense of emery
ency.
We take this opportunity to in
form anyone who is inconsiderate
enough to disturb us in our rest or
other work by making false claims
of urgency that we shall refuse to
treat him under any circumstances
in the future.

CRAMPS
(COntinued)

Besides the three types of cramps
mentioned, there are organic
cramps due to stomach or intes-
final Inflammation, often referred
to as "bellyache" or collie { in chill
dren). Appendicitis often causes
severe abdominal pain; so does in
flammation or stone of the gall
bladder or kidneys. An ulcer in the
stomach, or duodenum, strangu-
lated dwisted) hernia or an attack
of a certain type of heart disease,
known as angina pectoris, are all
liable to cause abdominal pain.
When the pain is not accom-
panied by nausea and vomiting and
there is no temperature, simple
remedies such as rest, hot drinks
and hot congresses are sufficient to
relieve the pain; but under no cir
cumStances should castor oil or
other laxative be given.
Finally we mention another type
of cramps, known as inorganic, due
to certain poisonS, such as lead.
Space does not permit us to go into
the details of lead collie or other
chemical COLES; but we have said
enough to convince the reader the
cramps is not simple condi-
ton; that it might be caused by a
variety of agents, and that the
underlying cause must be diagnosed
before attempting to treat an "ordi-
nary pain the belly" Our advice,
therefore, is to shun the we'll
meaning neighbor or friend who
urges you to take castor oil when
you get abdominal cramps: It
might cause your inflamed appen-
dix to rupture or your heart to stop
beating, if you suffer from angina
pectoric.

BERLIN, Aug. 20.-UP):-A
rising tide of four to five million
Germans turned against Adolf

his Nazi machine delivered an
overwhelming victory to the
Reichsfuehrer in his move to swing
the entire nation into line behind

1t was explained that the EARL

Guided some fragmentary reports
duplicating others.
Stirring election night scenes
were enacted in Berlin Sunday
evening. Solid deep columns OF
brown clad Nazi storm troops
brandishing torches and singing
Nazi songs until they were hoarse
marched past the man approved
as supreme head of Germany. =,
Hitler, right arm raised, STOOD
IN a brilliantly lighted window at
the chancellory and watched the
street scene for hours through the
night. Col. Franz Won Papen, re-
firing vice-chancellor and new
minister to Austria, stood near
him as the parade marched by IN
endless, noisy procession.
A United Press reporter, wedg-
ed in the milling mob of some
100000 persons in Wilhelmsplatz,
before the chancellory, was unable
TO move out for hours. Thousands
on thousands in endless brown
waves marched, singing along the
famous avenues, part of the Nazl
machines popular program to STIR
popular emotion for Hitler, the
new Gar.
A thunderstorm drove thou
sands to shelter as dusk fell, but
most of them returned to watch
the torch-light parade and brave
intermittent squalls. The march
ers' ranks were dotted with many
bands, blaring popular and Nazi
tunes.
Double the number of people
dared vote "no" to Hitler's power
in Sundays balloting, the returns
showed, as compared with last No
vember. The plebiscite was the
first real setback in Nazi expert
ence since their bid for "totality"
following their rise to power eight
months ago., However, it would be
erroneous to deduce that any or
ganized opposition has arisen.
