Salvation Armay's Iron Hand
In Omaha Transient Shelter

joined the Communist Party
then, and have been an active
worker among other transient work
ers in the so-called Government
Shelter. Although we had two COM
rades that stuck with us for while,
they dropped out later. Even the
comrades that were released out of
Jail did not stick to the organiza-
ton.
Some of the transients listened to
the misleading organizations which
ire trying to organize them. The
organizations are the Salvation
Army, the American Legion, the I.
w. w. and the F. E. R. A.
The Salvation Army is still run
ming this place, but is trying to
tell the fellows that the government
is running it. We have changed
the conditions considerably by fight
ing the way We have, but the work
can be improved a lot yet.
At the so-called Government Shell
ter at 22nd and Hickory Sts., they
have an elected committee of ex-
servicemen which was supposed to
be elected by the majority of tran
sients, but understand that they
we're proposed by the Salvation
Army officials. They were supposed
to help to better conditions, but it
can't be seen where they have done
anything except to take the men
out of the line and seat them at
tables, family style, and throw out
fellows that they hold in Kangaroo
Court behind closed doors.

the inside" It is a dye like all
other dyes; the claims Of Sprague-
Kitchen g. Co., Notwithstanding. OF
course it brings back the original"
color of the hair because 1t dyes the
hair brown, instead of black, and
to the superficial observer it might
seem for q short tine) that the
hair is regaining its natural" color.
The bargain" that they are offer
ing you of twelve bottles for $13,
instead of $3.50 per bottle, shows
how anxious they are to get as
much money as possible from you
with the first order. They know
full well that you will never order
again. AS to Lustre, this shampoo
is offered, at reduced price, be-
cause the company is afraid that
you might use soap as shampoo
which removes the dye.
Another proof that Graolene is
dye, is that they ask you to re-
move same from your hair when
you take a permanent wave. It is
well known that dyes, containing
lead and acetate, or other chem
icals, must be thoroughly rinsed out
before a permanent wave can be
applied to the hair. There is no
substance which, when rubbed into
the scalp, would be absorbed into
the hair follicles and restore the
original color of the hair. Anyone
who would invent such a substance
would become millionaire within
few months. Our advice to YOU is
to keep your money, unless Yea are
itching to throw 1t away.

PARTY LIFE
Discussing Draft Resolution
ReUi0es ActiUity Of Unit
Chicago Member CriticizeS the Incidence Of
Leading Section Comrades

why is it that comrades, often lead
ing ones, talk their heads off about
getting contacts, but, when revolu-
tionary shop groups contact us
themselves, they suddenly wilt and
become strangely inactive?
Here is a fact about a group or
ganized in certain important shop
of about 400 to 500 workers. This
Party member went to the organizer
of Section 9, in which the shop Is
located, asking the assistance OF the
nearest unit in systematic diStribu-
ton Of literature. Nothing was
done.
Two months later the shop worker
met the section organizer again and
repeated his request. The organizer
took the shop-worker's phone num-
Der and another three months
passed without any results.
The district secretary was given
at a membership meeting note
by the shop-worker, calling the at
tention of the district to the mac
tivity of Section 9 organizer. So
far, everything is quiet. -.
Is that penetration, roofing them
selves in the masses, or is it plain
lodging of work, hiding behind revo-
lutionary phrases?

gers Voice" nevertheless it shows
up the move of the company to
divide the messengers on the basis
Of age. BY making this distinction
between messengers under 81 years
old and those over 81 the company
hopes to weaken the attempts at
organization and arouse antagon-
ism between the messengers. The
messengers must be on their guard
to see that their ranks are not
divided and continue the fight for
vacation with pay for boys under
81 years of age.
From all over the city messengers
showed their enthusiasm over the
paper by asking when the next one
will come out and sending in all
sorts of letters and articles to be
published in it. This is the first
time that this large body Of young
workers, who are suffering the most
intense exploitation and misery,
have ever had an organ to expose
these conditions. For the first
time the messengers are being or
gained and organized under a
union run and controlled by them
selves. What this means to the
hundreds of messengers is shown
by the steady growth of the Tele-
graph Messengers Union. The next
edition of the Messengers Voice"
will be put out shortly and the
paper will improve continually.

BY WILLIAM F. DUNE
Article VI.


The truth of the matter is that
Whenever the issue is joined, be-
tween workers and employers in these
.days, in any sort of an extended
battle line, there is a great tendency
for workers to organize their own
struggles under the leadership of an
elsoted rank and file committee
which may and often does repre-
sent all the workers in various Or
CARNATIONS and quite often has rep
resentatives Of sO-called morgan
lied workers, even at times workers
who have been forced into some
form of a company union.
This is something new in the
United States and it is not my fault
or that of the organization repre-
sent that 1Ir. German, Mr.. Green,
Mr.. Lewis and other officials of the
A. F. Of L. fail to realize its causes
and significance. It is a product of
the crisis, of the terrible conditions
Of tie working population; it is
sign of the growing maturity and
hOmogeneity of tho American work
ing class.
That the leadership Of the Trade
Union Unity League and its afhli-
ated unions adopted the policy of
the united front and encourages
strike leadership through united
front committees, that in the fac
tories and industries it seeks to
build these united committees for
action against company unions and
various grievances of the workers,
shows that it understood the needs
of American workers in this period.
1t shows that we have confidence in
the initiative and ability of the
working class. This is entirely lack
ing in the kind of leadership which
Mr.. German represents. They fail
to understand that great sections of
American workers are coming to
know that sO-called industrial peace
means surrender Of workers rights
and lower living standards.
The question will be asked: If the
official policy of the A. F. of L. lead
ership and that of most Of its afhl-
lated unions is a CHESAPEAKE policy,
why is it that so many powerful
employers and their press are an
nouncing their opposition to organi-
cation under the A. F. of L. label?
The answer is, first, these big en-
ployers like those in steel, auto, oil
and the decisive sections of the
mining industry, ETC., do not want
any organization of their workers.
Many of them did not even have
company unions as was the case of
the steel trust, but organized them
simply as a formality; second, these

BEST WORKERS PAPER

AllC1IGON11s L q.
Every workers red heart the
world over is happy that Comrade
Dimitroff is safe in the land of the
Soviets-the Fatherland of the
Working Glass.
That the Daily Worker is the best
workers paper outside of the U. S.
S. R. (this is not flattery)-there is
no doubt about it. Even the enc
mics of the workers and Conmu-
nists admit it openly. The men
tally and the worth of any man is
not the amount which is in his
handbook, but what kind of paper
he reads and what kind of books.
The articles by Comrade D. z.
Manuilsky are the best one can
read about conditions in Austria
since 1918 and the role the Social
Fascist leaders played ever since.
But comrades-be careful-75 lines
in Article X-by D. z. Manuilsky,
page 6, of March /, are repeated
twice. Comrades, here is a sugges-
ton: Start a pictorial section in the
Daily Worker, with Photographic
and cartooned faces, titled "You
Shall Know Them by Their Deeds"
On one side of the page print the
photographs of all true leaders and
heroes of the working class the
world over; on the right side of the
same page print the faces of all
misleaders and traitors of the work
ing class, since time began.
We want to see and know our
leaders and the workers traitors.
Comradely yours.

OMAHA, Neb.-The Federal tran
sient shelter was opened up under
Salvation Army rules and restric-
tons Dec. %. The very first morn
ing the S. A. tried to feed us mouldy
bread, but the transients did not
stand for that. Four of us took the
mouldy bread down to the main Of
flee, to John Mcpherson, who is
supposed to be an F.E.R.A. director.
On Dec. 26 the Salvation Army
started a fight down in the base
ment with one of the fellows. The
fellow worker did not know what it
was all about, nor did he fight back.
The Salvation Army then called the
town riot squad which came in the
place and hand-picked six fellow
workers out of the crowd of 101 men
and railroaded them right on to
Jail for 80 days each, without CIV
ing them a fair trial.
7 asked for five workers to come
with me down to the Unemployed
Council meeting which was held on
Tuesday night Of every week. Then
we found out there about the In
ternational Labor Defense, which
helped to get the fellow workers out
of jail after they had served 10 days.

Beth David Training School
Throws Student Nurses Out
Girls Who Worked Hard for $40 to SIS Month
Not Allowed to Get Diploma

We know, and admit, that the
hospital is low in funds and can
not continue to educate and train
nurses under the circumstances.
Nevertheless, the students who have
already. completed part of their
studies should at least be permitted
to continue. The act calling for the
the termination of the Training
School should not have been made
retroactive.
A number of the hospitals Of the
city, including Mt. Sinai Hospital,
have closed down their Training
Schools for Nurses to all newcomers
but the old students are continuing
their studies.
If the hospital is low in financial
resources, why does it not apply to
the city or state for q loan, mas
much as the city has ward in the
hospital and is already making some
contribution?
Why should the two students who
would have ended their studies on
April Goth of this year be allowed to
remain only with the understanding
that they must pass examinations
on questions covering material
never taught at the school, and
which will probably be so difficult
that they will not be able to pass
them? Why should we have to
suffer because of the laxity Of
teaching methods?
Why should we, after working
for so many months in the capacity
of regular nurses to the salary of
$40 or SIS per month paid 10
student nurses, suddenly be turned
out on the streets like 50 many dogs
for whom no one has any further
use?
