is Just possible that you may have
some affection Of the heart, though
your symptoms are not the Symp-
toms of heart disease. Your age
l28), your sex, your children, your
work in the factory and the terrific
strain before and during the tex
tile strike and menstruation itself,
aggravate your symptoms which are
those Of nervousness. The condi-
ton of work in capitalist society,
with the speed-up and Stretchout,
the insecurity Of Jobs, and all the
uncertainties of the workers life,
often cause such nervousness.
The symptoms Of heart disease
are quite different from what you
describe.
We would advise you to have the
examination by a doctor chiefly to
relieve your mind of the possibility
that you may have a sick heart
You may have a sympathetic ply
sician in your own town, or if it is
not too difficult, there are many
good heart clinics in Boston where
you may be examined such as the
Peter Bent Brigham and Beth Is
rael Hospitals.
The definite knowledge that you
have no heart disease will help you
greatly to control the difficulties
you write about Ask the doctors
for some sedative you can use for
the worst attacks.

Natl. Lumber Workers
Union Opens Fight
For Red Leader

SEATTLE-At h enlarged
National committee meeting of
the National Lumber Workers
Union held in Seattle Sunday,
the question of fighting for the
release of Ernst Thaelmann was
taken up as one of the major
issues.
A decision VS. made that
committee be elected to pres
ent a resolution to the German
Consulate Monday morning, de-
manding that he should wire
or cable the German En-
bassy in Washington, D. c., and
the Nazi representatives in Ber-
lin. 1t was also decided that
all locals of the NLWU send a
resolution of protest to the
Consulate of Seattle and en-
bassy at Washington, d. c.
Committees are to be sent
to the German COnsulates on
the Pacific Coast.
To Raise Funds
A campaign of raising fl
nances for the German Political
prisoners is also being launch
ed by all locals who will take
collection lists received from the
Garman Rod Aid
Monday the demands were
presented to the, German Con.
sui who stated that he would
Immediately send the resolu-
tons to the above places. He
also attempted to disaTm the
committee by his clever dem
agogy, stating that Thaelmann
was only in a. German COncen-
tr&tion camp that he wasn't
being tortured, and that his,
the German cOnsuIs sympathy
was with Thaelmann. He also
stated that in his opinion
Thaelmann would be released
shortly.
Score Nazi Lies
The committee informed him
that the working class repre-
sentatives who have recently re-
reports to various trade unions,
reports to farious trade unions,
of the constant danger of
Thaelmann being beheaded by
the Nazi court and the only
way that he can be released is
by the solidarity and pressure
brought to bear on the Nazi
agents by the prOletariat.
Only the working class can
save Thaelmann from death.
Join the mass campaign. Send
resolutions to the consuls and
embassy.

Council DOdges On
Unemployed Issue

SEATTLE, June 26.-For the
third time an appeal from the
Unemployed Citizens League
was lost in the machinery of
the city council. A committee
again confronted the council
with demand to endorse the

fore, the UCL demands were
gradually involved in a slow
motion disappearing act and

Previously Dave Levi n e,
chairman of the council, used
parliamentary tactics to eva d e
the committee and shuttle their
demands off on the finance
committee. He has stated pub
licly that a Communist will
have to be elected to the coun-
ell before the UCL can expect
success with a petition of this
character.
Persistently seeking proper
attention, the UCL committee
returned to the finance com.
mittee. Councilman Fit

vocating a unanimous endorse.
ment boy the city council OF
the Insurance Bill. Councilman
Griffiths, well known liberal,
advised that it would be more
expedient to endorse the "prin-
ciple" of unemployment insur.
ance than to endorse the bill
actually in question.
Upon submission of the fl.
nance committees report to

council, Lockwood and Carroll
presented a minority report tC
