cause they too, attack Communists.
Mr.. Thomas is one Of his friends.
Martell is not afraid Of that rev
olution." But Mr.. Martell and his
gang are, very much afraid of the
rank and file opposition groups
which are growing daily in all A.
F. of l.. locals.
Workers at this meeting were
mostly from the Book Cadillac
Hotel. 1t was a small meeting of
about so or 70 workers, men and
women, who were highly disguised
with all the proceedings. Martell,
who attacks relationships did not
allow the Bellmen and Porters' Lo-
calls president to preside at this
meeting, but appointed an A. F. of
L. lawyer to preside.
To organize all workers, it is nee
essary that dues be as low as pos
sible. If this is Communism, then
Mr.. Martell is in contradiction when
he says that Communists want to
destroy the A. F. Of L. With his
accusation that Communists are
paid by manufacturers he cannot
convince anybody. Workers know
too much about racketeering in the
A. F. of L. to take this accusation
to cover his own connection with
spy agencies and other enemies Of
the working class.

Ford Has No More
Use for Veterans
by an Auto Worker Correspondent

by an Auto Worker Correspondent
DETROIT, Mich.-Last year when
Jigadeer-Brindle johnson threat
ened to use the N. R. A. to crack
down on Henry Ford, II Duce of
Dearborn yelled for help. Rex
Humphrey, chief scab-herder of
Wayne County's American Legion,
rushed to the rescue and Henry
promised to give the Legion mem
bers jobs in the plant. A few got
jobs. Then johnson changed his
mind about cracking down on Ford,
and the Legion members were laid
off.
There are many veterans who still
hug the illusion that Ford wants
them. These poor WORKOUT shells
HE themselves unto Councilman
Bunk or Judge Punk for letter
to Ford's. To the Ford Administra-
ton Building the veteran goes,
grasping his cherished letter ad-
dressed to Harry Bennett, who
never even sees or hears about 1t.
Mr.. Cameron, the famous lecturer
receives the letter, gIances at the
contents, then places it under the
desk. Cameron then (unless in
terrupted) resumes gazing into
space, Illuminating on his next lee
trre on 'fMaggots-Their Manners
and Customs"
After about half an hour, the
veteran, who thinks his letter is
being reviewed in the deepest
chambers Of the Office, is handed
his letter which has been under the
desk all the time, and, rising from
his seat, he commences his one and
three-quarter mile walk to the en-
ploynent Office. Inside there he
may wait for hours.
Then he is hustled to the desk
of the employment officer, who
writes his address on the letter and
mumbles: Twill get in touch with
you when something comes along"
The veteran has not been asked
what sort of work he can do, as
there will never be any job for him.
Home goes the veteran to wait for
card calling him to work at
Ford's, but the card never comes.

I want to say a few words in
connection with a shop in New York
which you heard mentioned by
Comrade Browder in his report.
First, want to show how the
Party members in the shop forced
the boss to grant the demands to
the workers without a strike. We
have an agreement with the boss
for six months. which was due few
weeks ago. OF course the boss mo-
bilized all his henchmen, to make
propaganda among the workers, in
order to break our organization in
this shop. So we, the Party mem
bers, with the cooperation of the
union organizer, modified our
Party members in order to raise the
spirit of strike among the workers
and explain to them the trick of
the boss, whose only idea is to break
our organization in the shop, in
order to bring back to the workers
the low wages of Sc and ST a week.
The boss got few girls and
workers to go around and explain
to the workers that they do not
have to go on strike, that he would
give them a raise (the wonderful
wages of the N.R.A0. So we took
this opportunity to bring the Party
among the workers.
The boss started by trying to
merge with another metal shop in
New York. We found this out,
right away, and by working in close
cooperation with the comrades in
the trade union, we decided to issue
a leaflet in the name of the Com
munist Party unit and Young Com
munist League exposing TO the
workers all the tricks of the boss.
One of our comrades took the mi
tiative of handling such a leaflet
and distributed it by himself in the
shop. OF course he was fired, but
we got him back. The point want
to bring out is that the workers
accepted this leaf1et unanimously.
We had a meeting the same day,
exposing the boss still more, and
we raised such a good spirit for
strike among the workers that they
were in the shop singing: ION the
Picket Line" and were ready to go
on strike.
When the boss saw this, he was
forced to grant the demands Of the
workers without going on strike.
I do not think there would be
a union in that shop, If it were
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1934-04-10

to the purpose of a single political
party. Whoever pays the fiddler
calls the tune"
ooh my goodness, Mr.. Smith, you
don't really think that things will
ever come to such a pass that school
children would be taught, for in
stance, that the N. r. A. (of the
Democratic Party IS a Joy and
blessing to our suffering land, do
you?)
Mr. Smith blurs over the really
significant point: That In Russia it
is the workers who pay the piper"
and "call the tune" in the schools,
while in Germany, Italy, and other
Fascist countries the schools are
controlled by the ruling class, which
uses them as schools are used here,
for the perpetuation of bourgeois
theology.

Martell, Exposed As Spy Agency Aid.

DETROIT, Sunday, March
IS, the Bellmen and Hotel Porters'
Association of the A. F. of L. called
an organizstional meeting at which
Mr.. Martell, who is president of the
American Federation Of Labor In
Detroit, was the principal speaker.
MarteA started by saying that he
has no quarrel" with his "revolu-
tionary friends" In fact, he said,
he thinks he will be for 'revoiu-
ton if it comesi
Industrial unioniSn is not prac-
tical, especially not in the hotel
industry" he said. Workers must
organize into their" trade unions,
and then they will receive "con-
sideration" from employers!
Roosevelt received high praise for
his labor" policy. However, he felt
the need to attack the Auto Work
ers Union and Communists. The
A. F. of L. was the only organiza-
ton that protested the Wage-cutS, 1t
is the only" organization that or
ganizes workers for collective bar

the Communists and their Auto
Workers Union. Why didn't they
organize auto workers? ......... Instead
they are attacking A. F. of L. lead
ers from top to bottom as betrayers.
They are paid by manufacturers to
attack the A. f. Of L." he said.
Who are Martell's revolutionary
friends? It is very clear! The
S. L. P. speaker who INDUCED for
half an hour in abstract phrase
mongering about industrial union
ism, did not antagonize Mr.. Martell
No danger is coming from that sect.

Detachment Of the Retina

william G., Brooklyn, N. Y.-The
outlook in detachment of the retina
depends on it's cause. The best
prognosis is in cases where it is due
to an Inflammation Of the kidneys.
When the detachment of the retina
follows trauma "a blow or disease,
the outlook is not so good. In such
cases there might be slight tenn
porary improvement with numerous
relapses; finally ending in complete
blindness.
Rest in bed with local applica-
tons of atropine, dionine and firm
bandage over both eyes, is the best
treatment in this condition. For
general effect, we use iodides and
injections of pilocarpine. This
treatment is for recent cases and
should be kept up for six to eight
weeks. Among the treatments for
chronic cases, we have puncture or
trephining of the sclera, subcon-
junctival injections of to 10 per
cent of sodium chloride, and igni-
puncture. All these procedures can
only be carried out by a good oph-
thalmologist Ga physician who spe-
cializes in diseases of the eye).

MASS MEET AGAINST LUNCH
SNATCHING
Here is an announcement of
importance to parents of school
children, especially in Brooklyn,
N. Y.
For a while, children in P. S.
IS were getting food tickets and
some articles of clothing that they
need badly. Lately the food
tickets have been taken away
from many children, and no
clothing is given any more. A
committee visited the principal
but he said he could do nothing
about it.
"a mass meeting is being called
for Wednesday, April IL, at 284
S. 9Th St., Broadway and Rodney
St, at the Y. M. H. A., for the
purpose of discussing this prob
lem. The meeting is being called
under the auspices of Women's
Council IS, and Schulz g."
reported by Mrs. H.
EAAAo ONAAtA JNhbOl NAdbSCIS
Here's hoping the meeting will be
we'll attended and that an effective
line of action will be worked out.
We invite report on what is de-
cided and what action taken, and
with what results, so we may an
nounce this too.
We'd suggest that copies of the
very valuable new pamphlet Just
issued by the International Press,
Schools and the Crisis" be brought
to this meeting for discussion if
there is ii e, and for sale. It will
arm parents with many vital facts
of use in their struggle for better
education and better school condi-
tons for their kids.
Our Educational Don Quixote
Mrs. Roosevelt, we might mention
at this point, is as busy as usual
her latest gyration being a speech
at the Citizens Conference cat
Columbus), urging educational re-
forms" Fancy architecture and
marble halls, she declared, don't
make a good school. What we need,
she feels, is a plain school, so there
may be money for teachers salaries
and books. She tills at windmills for
the sake of publicity. (And to make
the masses think that something is
really being done for them.)
She doesn't denounce the eIabo-
rate designs, complicated "architec-
ture,' and costly materials of the
1874 new bombing planes and 102
new battleships, whose construction
was authorized by her husband
through the Vinson Bill, which de-
dicates $750,O0o,000 to these arma-
ments, while the administration
ignores the shortening of school
terms, the closing of schools, and
the payless teachers.
The pamphlet. Schools and the
Crisis" gives for example such
flinty facts as that in "a states
nearly 1000 schools, regardless of
WHAT architecture-failed to open
in the fall of 1888, and that ''the
building of schools has almost
stopped"
Doesn't Like the Little RED
Schoolhouse
At the same Columbus confer
ence, Ex-Gov. Alfred E. Smith sent
a written speech which gave gor-
,geously cornical excuse for oppos-
ing ('long-term") Federal aid for
he schools. He thinks the aid of
schools should remain the duty of
the states, because if Federal aid
ere given, politics might flavor
e education! He said: in Russia,
italy, in Germany, we have
