fight for better wages and for a
chance to live.
This fight of the worker arouses
the ire of the capitalists. They mo-
bilize their newspapers, their laws,
their police, their soldiers against
the workers. Since the workers
fight in spite of that, they are &C
cused and treated as enemies of
society. The unwillingness of the
workers to starve for the profits of
the capitalists is branded as red
treason. All capitalist forces are
modified to stamp out this trea-
SON."
The other day the Supreme Lodge
Of the Knights of Pythias agreed
that the military department of the
K. of P. merge with the National
Guard in the event of Communist
emergencies. Now we know that
every strike of workers for a living
wage is called Communist emer-
gency." San Francisco, Providence
and Carolina show that. It is clear
that thus the X. of p are offering
their military help to the capitalists
for the suppression of strikes.
What do the workers in these
bourgeois fraternal organizations
say to these activitieSp
The Exalted Ruler of the Elks is
on a 10000 mile airplane tour to
inaugurate 'pro-American" cam
paign, especially to organize "patri-
otto American youth elements to
serve as a bulwark against attempts
to destroy American institutions. -
What the Exalted Ruler hopes to
protect is the American institution
of the bread line, of child misery,
of starvation wages and garbage can
provisions for unemployed workers.
Any worker revolving against these
sacred capitalist American institu-
tons IS terrible bolshevik and
must be stamped out. That is why
the Grand Exalted Mogul of the
ElkS starts to organize fascist storm
troops.
Eagles, Masons and countless
other fratarnal organizations are
now engaged in this work of fight
ing the workers. These organizations
do not serve the workers. They
serve the capitalists.
That is why the workers need their
own fratemal organization. They
need a fraternal order that fights
for the workers and against the
capitalists.
The International Workers Order
Is that order. 1t is the only fighting
workers fraternal order. We must
build it into the most powerful fra
ternal order in America.
Let us do it.

to win your just demands.

workers should compare what
they have with what the workers

the workers in the shop began to

WHY VACCINATION?

The discovery OF this fact led,
naturally, to the belief that the
presence in the body Of a mild or
related form of a disease did some
thing to the body to prevent an at
tack of a full and severe form of
the disease. Later work proved the
truth of this belief. Today, we know
that by introducing mild forms Of
disease into the body, the body
is set to work producing substances
called anti-bodies, which suisse
quently protect the body against a
real attack of the disease.
It is true that in those early
times, vaccination often resulted in
severe complications and even death.
But it has been clearly shown that
these complications were never the
result Of the disease injected, but
were the result of other germs and
impurities which crept into the
"vaccines" used. This was newt
able, because of the fact that in
those early times, they had no
means of keeping impurities out.
Today, with the advance of medical
technique and the increase of medi-
cal knowledge, vaccination against
How Does 1t Work?
Thus. in the general sense of the
word, vaccination" is the process
of introducing into the body germs
(vaccines) or poisons of germs (tox-
ins) treated in various ways before
injection, to make them harmless.
By so doing, the body is put to work
modifying its own army Of protec-
ton e.. its anti-bodies. These anti

With some diseases like smallpox,
they remain in the blood stream for
as long as seven years. They remain
like a standing army, ready to de-
fend the body against attack, and
destroy any germs of the disease
for which the body has been vac
cinated that might invade the body.
This method of preparing before
hand for an attack from disease
is called ACTIVE immunity.
However, when the body is in the
process of being attacked, when a

munity to that disease is lacking,
vaccination must produce a sort Of
secondhand immunity. Blood
serms from animals who have al
ready had the disease are intro
duced. These blood serums, by VIZ
tue of the fact that their previous
owners have already had the dis
ease, contain the anti-bodies nee
essary to fight the disease. The
work of producing them is spared
the sick person. This is called pas
sive immunity.
The following question might
arise in the mind Of the reader: If
this work of producing anti-bodies
can be spared a sick person, why
not spare others this work; why
not avoid the dangers" Of vaccinat-
ing healthy people and wait until
the disease is already present? Be-
cause once a disease has attacked
the body is weakened even before
passive immunity can be applied. In
such cases. secondhand immunity
can act only as an assisting force
rather than a chief force of defense.
Experience has proven that pas
sive immunity is far inferior than
active immunity in preserving life.
For example, just as the Soviet
Union stands ready with its red
army to defend itself against the
certain attack By the capitalist
powers, 50 must our bodies stand
ready wibh an army of anti-bodies
to resist the certain invasion by the
germs of many diseases.

Police Chief Browns plan to put
more policemen on the street by as
signing one instead of two officers to
each precinct scout car today had run

The Dahlgren Terrace group last
night passed motion, offered by its
president, A. F. E. Scheer, to request
Mai Brown to place two policemen in
all radio cars operating in the twelfth
precinct The resolution cited the
injury Tuesday of the lone officer in a
radio car pursuing a speeding auto
mobile occupied by two colored men
and declared the violators probably
would have been caught had there
been two men in the police car.
