man tuberculosis other than respir-
atory, as glandular, bone and alb
dominal, are to a large extent of
bovine origin. It is interesting to
note that since the federal and
state cooperative testing program
was started the decline in the death
rate from non-respiratory tubercul-
osis has been much greater than the
decline in the respiratory type.
I'm view of this fact" continued
DR.. Prior, 'there is no doubt that
while the eradication of tubercul-
osis in cattle is a good investment
from the agricultural viewpoint, it
Is also an important factor in the
decline in the death rate which
means the saving of many lives.
Yet the need for information and
education about tuberculosis is still
urgent and the approaching seal
sale should receive hearty support
so that the program of prevention
may be carried on throughout the
coming year."
DR.. Prior is member of the board
OF directors of the Washington Tub
erculosis association, of which Mrs
Charles G.. Miller of Seattle is

Security Owners
Meet AT Okanogan
Hear University Regent Slam
Government Interference In Pri-
vate Business At Session

Assailing government interference
with private business, Edward p.
Ryan, president of the board of
regents of the University of Wash
ington, explained at Okanogan
Thursday night that his stand was
taken because there were too many
'pinheads with power" who could
not capably operate their offices.
Mr.. Ryan was principal speaker
at a meeting sponsored by the State
Security Owners association. He
was with William Hopkins, execu-
tive vice president of the organiza-
ton. ID
"My principal reason for believing
that we should have less and not
more government in business is that
the average man who comes to my
office representing the government
in telling me how to run my affairs
is not my superior mentally" he
declared. "He is usually someone
who has made a failure of his own
business, and who managed to pull
wires and land a government job.
There are too many pinheads on
the government payroll, backed up|
by all the authority of the govern
ment."
Tell Of Association
The two men explained to a good
sized crowd the features of the
association, designed to protect all
forms of securities from harmful
legislation. They stated that it is
necessary for security holders over
the nation to band together to
keep their property from being de-
pressed in value or virtually con-
fiscated by unfriendly legislation.
when we mention security hold
ers," Mr.. Hopkins said, "the average
person thinks Immediately of Wall
Street, and associates us with the
big investment bankers of the coun-
try. But we are not speaking for
these holders of securities. They are
able to look out for their own
interests. We are interested in pro-
tecting the 100000 life insurance
policy holders in this country; the
100000 depositors in savings
banks; the millions of substantial
middle-class people who have in
vested their small savings in the
stocks and bonds of reputable COM
panies."
Otto H. Wagner, president of the
Okanogan Commercial club, pre-
sided at the meeting in the absence
of j. r. Everett, who represents the
county on the board of governors
of the state association.

Force Investigation of
Bemidji Poor Farm
RY a Worker Corresnondent


BEMIDJI, Mich. At the Poor
Farm here, the old people get hardly
any care. A committee of the I'm
employed Council of Benidji went
up there and found out that the
old men haven't had any tobacco
in the last four years. Their I'M
derclothes are not even fit for mop
rags. The outside clothes are also
ragged and dirty.
One comrade of the Working
Women's Club reported at their last
meeting that a minister's wife made
the remark some time ago that this
place would be Investigated and
looked after. The Salvation Army
should also make some remarks
about conditions there, but none of

go the next day and investigate. In

CHICAGO CAR COMPANY
ADVISES OVER-WORKED
EMPLOYEES TO "SMILE''
Bat Correspondent Says That Workers Should
Demand Pensions at Bosses Expense
and $3.50 Pay Increase

c. S. L. executives would try to
smile their faces would surely crack.
Under the cloud of this kind of
hooey one fact could be seen. The
company wants the men to support,
before the City Council, a plea for
another extension of time before
the consolidation ordinance is put
in effect. They are sitting pretty
now and are under the protection
of Federal receivership and it is the
third year already since they first
got extension from the City Hall.
Under the consolidation ordi-
nance, the men are supposed to get
a pension. Carefully, as if he were
handling a hot potato, Evenson
mentioned this fact. The fact that
the pension paragraph is so worded
that the men themselves will prob
ably be made to shoulder the en-
tire burden of it, should be known
to every street car man. What we
ought to demand is the immediate
pensioning off of the old-timers
over so years of age, and 20 years
in service, with the company shout
dering the entire cost.
No lettering of conditions was
promised by Evenson, except that
here and there, throughout the city,
more runs will be put on. But of
course every time the schedule de-
partment gives birth to a new time
table it is always worse.
We must demand, besides the
pension, more running time, more
lay-over time, elimination of bum
swing runs, and uniforms to be
furnished free of charge, by the
company.
The main demands must be:
u rs per cent increase in pay to
equalize the increased cost Of living.

committees to represent them in
all dealings with the company.

Various Standings Found
Within the Camp of
Social Fascism
BY M. CHILDS

In line with the basic task, raised
in the Open Letter to our Party
membership, the chief and most
important problems at the present
moment are the activities of the
Party in strikes and the struggle
against Social Fascis1n for the lead
ership of the masses.
Various Shades of Social Fascism
The struggle that is taking place
today in the American labor move
ment for the leadership OF the
working class is not just struggle
Of two groups. Within the camp
of Social Fascism itself we find
various shadings. There are many
workers today who in the short
space of time have become con-
WINGED of the treachery of the A.
F. of L., who realize the inadequacy
of the craft form of organization or
even the so-called federal form.
These workers are a prey to the
demagogy Of so-called left" Social
FaSciSts-on a national scale of the
Music variety-and on local scale
bearing different label but Of the
same brand. We saw this very Wv
idly in the city Of Racine, where
the workers became disguised with
the American Federation of Labor;
and our Party failed to act as the
leaders in the struggle for the
everyday neds of the masses. There
the Socialists succeeded in organ
lzing what is called a Workers
Committee" This organization had

Must Build n altoona al
Unions to Guide All
Striking Workers

The strikes and our participation
in these should have been the
greatest field of recruitment for our
Party. But the District Bureau is
far from satisfied on the question
of recruitment. There is still
tendency in our District to separate
mass work from Party work. AL
though we reached many new con-
facts, among these some of the most
militant and best workers in the
strikes, the comrades involved, de-
layed approaching these workers
and asking them to come into the
Party. In the city of Kenosha, for
example, where we participated in
all of the strikes that have taken
place, the recruitment has been
lower than the period prior to the
strike. In fact, the comrades be-
came so involved in the work of
the shops and trade union that they
did not even deem it necessary to
put in their regular dues orders.
This is a disease which we must
root out. The Party must be built
in the process of struggles. We y
understand that, without the guild
ing hand of the Party, it will be i'm
possible to lead struggles and build
unions.
The District Convention will have
to discuss these problems in much
greater detail and to adopt such
resolutions, and take such steps, as
will guarantee the carrying out Of
the most important tasks of the

By a Worker Correspondent

CHICAGO, Ill. - This year as
usual we were invited" to the
accident prevention meetings. We
were invited" but our numbers
were checked up to see that nobody
stayed away. Uniform CRATER
Evenson, the general superintend-
ent, opened one Of the meetings to
which I was invited" Cigars were
passed around. Strangely enough,
the A. F. of L. union officials did
not resent the fact that the ropes
were non-union made, and helped
themselves to them.
The surface lines are now carry
ing more passengers than last year,
due to the fact that the C.WA. and
other workers are given jobs far
from their homes. Only Evenson was
shedding crocodile tears about the
fact that the G. S. Lines are carry
ing 250,000000 passengers less yearly
than in 1929. This number, &C
cording to Evenson, is more than
the total carried yearly by cities
such as Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Twin
Cities, etc. The old fox deliberately
omitted from this comparison the
fact that the cities are men
toned are about one tenth or one
eighth the size of Chicago, and that
the Chicago street cars are operated
at a much faster rate than in other
cities, the difference being as high
as 40 per cent in some instances;
that the loads are bigger, only New
York Subways being able to show
something like the loads on Chicago
Lines, such as Madison, Milwaukee,
State, Western, Roosevelt, 63rd St.,
and others. He also did not men
ton the fact that 95 per cent of
the cars were bought before the
war and have since paid for them
selves many times over.
His main plea was for the over
worked and speeded-up men to
smile and smile again, although if
