Unity Tactics
Suggested by
A Brakeman
BY a R. R. Worker Correspondent

BY a r. r. Worker Correspondent
NEW York; can't be truth
fully said that we went to the last
meeting of the Brotherhood with
an idea Of fighting one another.
We all went with the one idea in
mind and that idea was to better
the conditions of all of us. But we
ell arrived at the meeting without
organizing into unity groups among
ourselves for the purpose of plan
ming our course.
The result was that we tackled
the problems the wrong way. In
stead of bringing up resolution
to make our brothers that get over
time to take the time off, we should
have brought up resolution de-
handing that our leaders force the
Penn to abolish overtime and put
on other jobs to finish the work.
The way we did this we are fight
ing among ourselves and forgetting
our common enemy, the Penn. The
other way we would be making
more jobs.
If we get together and form unity
groups to plan before meetings
what we are to fight for, we would
have wonderful chance of success
and there would be less fighting
among ourselves.
There are plenty of issues we
could get together on to bring up
at the meetings. One important is
sue is the lowering of dues for
part time workers and exemption
stamps for unemployed brakemen.
Also our lodge should endorse the
Workers Unemployment Insurance
Bill which was before the House CT
REPRESENTATIVES at the last session

NEW YORK-The Pennsylvania
has certain runs which take us
away from home for as much as
month. If you live in New York,
they will send you to Pittsburgh to
make the Erie run. You have just
a few shirts to change to. After
few days your clothes are dirty.
The Penn does not provide any
place in which you can wash your
clothes or take bath. You have
to stay dirty while you sweat for
few cents.
Another evil we suffer from is
dead-heading, especially to Wash
ington. Conditions are getting
worse. We have to lay over two
and three days and pay the COM
pany for quarters, even though we
did not make a cent. This hits the
extra men very hard because they
don't get any regular pay. The
regular men are forced to sleep on
cots in the cars or pay a quarter
to bunk in the company quarters.
In these quarters the men are
packed 25 in a room, for instance
Room IT.
I have joined the Brotherhood of
Dining Car Cooks and Walters. We
need an organization to fight for
better conditions. The fellows like
Lemus and Lewis have not done
US any good, but we are out to get
real leaders who will win us regu-
lar pay and no charge for sleeping
over, Every man in the Dining Car
Department should sign up with
the brotherhood and come to meet
inss regularly so we can vote our
real leaders in and force the Penn
to give us better conditions.

in the hands of the state and ma

These workers have now taken it
into their own hands to fight for
the reinstatement CT the fired work

reach the union rate OF 5712 cents

'HelpinggHand'

BY a Worker Correspondent

KANSAS CITY, Kans.-A friend
Of mine who is a transient told me
The following story:
Some 300 transients are lodged
IN the infamous Helping Hand
here. For their lodging and board
they are forced to do a days work
on the municipal airport. There is,
of course, an allowance given the
faker who runs the Helping Hand
for this work, but the men never
see any money. Besides this, they
only got diet of coffee and and
soup (mostiy water on the orders
OF the grating supervisory. One
Gay last week the men began to
kick to the cook, who was Just an
exploited worker. He finally con-
WINGED them that he was not the
one to blame for the poor food.
But they were still sore as hell, and
in a bad mood.
"One evening at supper the cook
dropped cup while serving. The
supe ran over to him and began
to pour out flow Of abusive Ian
guage. This act incensed the men,
who Immediately began to bang
their cups on the table and yell
their demands for better food. 1t
was plain from the way everything
was carried out that the men had
discussed this among themselves
and were solid behind their de-
msnds and also in protecting the
cock.
The old supe, after a futile eff
fort to quiet the men, ran out and
called the cops. a riot squad Of
seven came. They we're met at the
door by the angry men, still armed
with the cups, and invited in to
the dining hall. But these brave
defenders of law and order refused
to accept this invitation.
Meantime the supe, sensing that
the game was UP, rushed one of the
flunkies for some hamburger and
announced this to the mon. Things
quoted down after that. Hamburg
er5 were served. For the past week
the coffee and and soup diet has
changed to a more substantial diet
for tine men. But they are not sat
isfied with that, either. They want
some sort of organization that will
force cash pay from these takers
and the government"

I second the idea of Comrade
T. K. Of Brooklyn, that the Daily
Worker p-ints brief outline OF
what is Communism, in every edi-
ton. That would be about the
greatest means for killing false
notions Of the worker, and con-
sequently it would make the Daily
Workers circulation jump, not to
10000 but to 100000 or 100000,
which surely it needs to do if L
expects to have any effect en- the

will put the suggestion in effect i'm

Ulcer of the stomach


Ulcer of the stomach
NJ. R., New York City.-Stomach
ulcers are treated chiefly by means
of diet both here and in the U.S.S.
r. The only difference is that the
correct diet is obtainable for all
workers in the U.SSR., but only
for those who can afford it here in
the U.S.A. Tourists in Soviet Rus
STA can get an adequate diet in the
cities; it may be more difficult in the
country. For further information
would refer you to Intourist, Inc,
Soviet Travel Agency, 545 Fifth
Ave, New York City.
The care of ulcers consists of
bland, non-irritating diet composed
chiefly of milk and cream, eggs,
cooked fruits and cereals, strained
vegetables, and occasional we'll
cooked chicken and lamb. These
are to be eaten in three small meals
daily with a glass of milk or butter
milk and a couple of crackers in be-
tween meals and before going to
bed The idea is never to let the
stomach empty itself completely
After each meal a powder consist
ing of equal parts of bicarbonate Of
soda and magnesium carbonate in
teaspoon doses is admissible, and
this may also be taken before retir-
ing at night.
Surgery is necessary if many at
tempts at medical cure are unsuc-
cessful, if there is persistent vomit-
ing, or if bleeding is shown by the
pitch-black color Of the stools which
cannot be checked by medical
means.
Usually the pain can be relieved
by strict adherence to the medical
treatment. You should be specially
careful of your diet in the ulcer
season, that is, in the fall and in
early spring, when for some I'M
known reason there is often an &C
tivation of ulcer symptoms.

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS


E. r., Richmond Hill.-To treat
the sores avoid eating anything that
initiates them. Avoid vinegar, salt,
fruit juices. spices and smoked or
picked foods. Get a ten per cent
solu' ion Of copper sulphate in water.
Wrap a piece of cotton around the
end Of a tooth pick and with it
apply the solution to the sore for a
second, once a day. You can rinse
the mouth with water after the APP
plication.
When you have no sores you can
eat anything you please. To prevent
them you can brush your teeth
morning and night and use a mouth
wash Of sodium perborate, Il tea
spoonful to a quarter of glass of
water.
Eci--If badness is hereditary in
your family, it will be difficult for
you to escape the same fate. If
your hair is dark brown or black,
you can apply the following lotion
every night to the scalp:
BlchICrde OF mercury, y grain;
resorcin, 3 drains; alcohol, 20 per
cent. ounces.
If your hair IS very dry you can
add a teaspoonful of cassor oil to
the mixture. If your hair is blonde
you cannot use this lotion. Instead
use So sulphur ointment twice a
week.

Nasal Obstruction

E. B., B~onx-The condition which
you desiribe is probably due to a
long-standing Inflammation of the

The cause of this condition is
often to be found in bony obstruc-

REQUIRE operative treatment.

TORTURE, ABUSE
IN ASYLUMS OF
MIDWEST Barred
Sensational Charges Shock
Wisconsin, Illinois
and Iowa.
BIZ United Press

DB CUttfU FTfss
CHICAGO. April 5.-Sensational
charges Of torture and abuse within
the walls Of middle-western cor
regional homes and insane asylums
were unfolded in shocking array to-
day before official boards of inquiry
In Illinois. Wisconsin and Iowa
investigating groups heard almost
unbelievable stories from the lips of
trembling witnesses.
From a half dozen institutions
seeped the amazing charges of
cruelties-some medieval in their
horribleness-among society's pitt
ful outcasts who are supposed TO be
treated with the fullest possible
measure of human kindness.
AS though some great upheaval
had crumbled their grim, foreboding
walls at one time and revealed tor
ture chambers Of barbaric times
the disclosures Of alleged cruelty case
simultaneously and without rum
blings of warning.
Three Reasons Cited
The Investigators, stunned by
evidence Of fatal beatings, poison
ings, blackjackings and boiling
water baths, were at a loss to give
any board reason for the widespread
revelations.
Three theories were advanced:
l. Overcrowding Of the institu-
ton with insane. patients and in
corrigibles.
3. Laxity in the vigilance Of state
boards in charge Of the institutions.
In Wisconsin, shocking evidence
Of abuses at two insane asylumS
were written into the already bulg-
ing records Of a legislative investi-
eating committee and the searching
spotlight of official inquiry will be
turned upon another asylum in few
days.
Children Are Flogged
At the state school and colony in
Lincoln, ILL.,, a correctional institu-
ton for minors, disclosures of fog
gings inflicted on children have re-
suited in the discharge of four at
tendantS and two guards by the
state department of public welfare
A legislative committee, running
down rumors of corruption at the
Illinois state prison in Joliet, found
evidence that hospital prescriptions
were forged and records falsified by
convict-clerkS as a means Of spread
ing morphine and other drugs
among the prisoners.
A board Of inquiry headed by the
president-e.ec of the American
Medical Society today entered upon
the second day of its investigation
of the death of a 26-year-old youth
alleged to have been beaten to death
at the state insane hospital in Clar-
linda, Ia.
Attendant Held in Staying
Bribery, drunkenness and mar
cotic smuggling were added to
charges of cruelty against heads of
the Milwaukee house of correction
and resulted in the dismissal of six
teen employees and William H. Nom
sen, inspector of the institution.
Most shocking Of all the charges
were those hurled at those in charge
of the insane hospital at Oshkosh,
Wis. Governor Charles Schmede-
man was informed that abuse of
patients there caused six deaths and
when the investigation was under
way only a few hours the superin-
tendent resigned.

result Of the State Highway Commits

out. while an increasing number of
PWA jobs are opening up every week
now. More and more private employ

said.
Beginning March 1, all placements

since January l, 1884, or from those
who have re-registered since that time
AS a result some 10000 names who

not re-refistered since January l.
Since January 1 and up to this
