SUMMER HYGIENE
(Continued)

The dangers OF the countryside
are SO we'll known to physicians
that would-be vacationists are con-
tinually warned by their medical
advisers and by health authorities
to be vaccinated against typhoid
fever before they go on their yaca-
ton.
A bottle of iodine, calomel ONT
ment, some bandages and cotton
are as necessary as a swimming suit
or tennis racket. Those who are
susceptible to poison-ivy or poison
oak will do well to get a prophylac-
tic dose against poison-ivy or poison
sumac. For those who intend to
camp, one of the most essential re-
qurements is to have plenty Of
netting or cheesecloth to protect
them against mosquitoes and other
insects. If you intend to battle in
a lake or stream used by large
number of people, do not fail to
take along ten per cent solution
of argyrol to be used in nose and
eye infections. A form of inflamma-
ton of the eye known as 'pinkeye"
is often contracted where crowds
gather in swimming spot of linn
tied capacity. Remember also that
typhoid fever can be gotten by
swimming in an infected stream
the small quantities of water swal-
lowed during swimming or bathing
are often enough to produce typhoid
fever if the water contains the
germs. Remember also that any
deep wound that cannot be thor
oughly cleansed requires the adj
ministration of tetanus antitoxin.
During the summer a number of
people contract lockjaw and die by
neglecting this advice. Tetanus anti
toxin can be gotten from any health
officer free Of charge,

Exposed

The Communist Party has ex-
PEELED from its ranks Frank Miller
and Paul Swetina of New York
City as INSCRIPTIONS disrupters
and slanderers, who, together with
Martin Tomasin, M. Andreievitch
and Anton Fabianiteh have acted
as an anti-Party, anti-working
class group among the Jugo-Slav
workers.
In their disruptive activities,
these renegades have for a long
time spread rumors and made
malicious accusations to the effect
that certain functionaries in the
Jugo-Slav workers club we're crooks
and spies. Particularly have they
persisted in asserting that Anna
Matusich, member of the club,
was stool pigeon and a spy, al
though the Party had investigated
this case and found that there was
no basis for this SANDER.
Further, Swetina and Miller, act
ing with Tomasin, Fabianitch and
Andreieyitch have tried to set UP
a rival organization in opposition
to the existing Jug-Slav clubs. In
doing this they have tried to secure
the endorsement of their actions
from National and District Party
bodies, while at the same time
carrying on a slanderous attack
against the Jugo-Slav Fraction
Buro and against the comrades as
signed to Jugo-Slav work by the
Party Section.
Tomasin, oStensibly the leader of
the factional group, has an UNI
savory reputation. To gain his own
personal ends, on certain occasions
he has used the police against
workers sympathetic to the Party,
even threatening to bring about
their deportation.
The close organizational associa-
ton of Miller and Swetina with
such an anti-Party element as To-
masin, besides their persistent re-
fusal to obey Party decisions, marks
them as anti -workingclass elements
themselves. They must be exposed
and defeated
In announcing the expulsion of
Swetina and Miller, the Party
points out that, in order to pre-
serve the indispensable unity in the
ranks of the revolutionary move
ment, the utmost vigilance and
decisiveness is necessary in the
struggle against all renegades and
disrupters.
The Party calls upon all honest
workers to associate themselves

group, to strengthen the working
class organizations and to go for

Lockout in Lumber

Pay Raise Demand
BY Lumber Worker Correspondent

ny LUMBER Worker Correspondent
ABERDEEN, Wash.-The workers
in the Gray's Harbor Plywood de-
cided that they are entitled to a
raise in wages. Speed-up has been
intensified on some Jobs to a dizzy
pace. Some worked under the
bonus system to set the pace for
the rest.
The cord layers demanded a
raise. The glue gang and others
who are now getting 40 to As cents
per hour demanded so cents per
hour. They elected a committee to
submit the demands to the man
ager. The manager told the COM
mittee that he would give them an
answer April 10.
The contract with the company
physician, DR., Brachvogel, was soon
to expire. The company circulated
a petition to renew the contract.
The majority of the workers are
dissatisfied with the medical and
surgical care received in the past.
They refused to sign the list. They
circulated list of their own favor

PARTY LIFE
Negro Steel Worker ReUiews
Conditions in Birmingham
I'm Going Home Determined to Build Oua
Party" He Says to Contention

rising spirit is credited to the leaf
lets the shop papers Of the Party
which are creating much fear
among the management Of bosses.
Last June the T. C. I. organized
the Roosevelt New DesT' company
unions here in Birmingham in
spite Of II Negroes being nominated.
The nominees were not elected and
Just two months ago there was
boycott against the company unions,
especially by the Negro workers and
many Of the whites. The company
then instead insisted on entering
the IL Negro nominees of last June
as regular company union repre-
sentatives. This is What we hoped
to gain. We must now work in the
company unions using it as much
as possible, but as our shop unit
decided, the main task is now to
launch our own steel unions as a
best organization of taking up these
issues of the workers preparing for
strikes. A few months ago or per-
haps two months ago, the white
representatives that we're elected
last June called a meeting to
change their company union, and
in this the Negroes failed to vote.
The representatives then went
around throughout the mills among
the Negroes and asked the Negroes
would they vote if they would give
them the IL representatives that
they voted for in June. The Ne
gro majority of them agreed to do
so. They gave the Negroes these
representative at the same time, the
white representatives. invited the
president of the company to come
out and speak to the Negroes to
encourage them to vote for the
company union The vice presi-
dent also came out, and introduce
ing the president, said that there
is q movement going on around
here that is detrimental to the in
dustries of the Birmingham Dis
triet. 1t is attempting to tear down
a foundation that had taken years
to build up, and he said that's the
REDS" He gave the workers an
illustration of the Reds" He said
the Reds" were like Pat and John.
He said Pat was a Red" and John
was not Red" John said to Pat,
IF you had $50 would you give me
1882" Pat said, eyes" John asked,
eff you had 500 would you give
$500" He answered, Yes" John
asked, IF you had $4,000 would
you give me SIS SCOOP" Again John
answered, eyes" Then John ques-
toned, IF you had two pigs would
YOU give me one pig?' Pat replied,
Hell no, because you know I have
two pigs" This is the way they try
to discredit us. In spite of this the
field is now rising in the Birming-
ham District for the work of the
Communist Party among the Me-
groes.
And last, but not least I will say
to the chairman and the repre-
sentatives of the Communist Party
that We hope when we go back
home to do more in the way of
trying to help to bring the work
ers in the steel mills and into the
Party. We are just three months
old in the Party and from the in
formation that I've gained in this
meeting I'm going back home with
determinatio to do more in the
way of helping to build up the Com
munist Party.

Easy to Pay Big
Salaries, But Hard
TOHandOverReIief
By a Worker CORRESPONDENT

KELSO, Wash.-We find that al
though it is impossible to give work
ers' families adequate relief, still it
is simplicity itself to pay a large
office force a total of $1,371.50 a
week, to administer the starvation
relief handed to the workers fam
lilies.
They have II stenographers, seven
typists and accountants, one general
secretary, IL clerks including q mail
clerk and a lot of others, includ-
ing professional shoppers. Wages
vary from $55 to $18 week. The
list is not complete. Several others
have jobs that are not listed in the
paper.
I took a worker to the Welfare
this morning who had received q
quarter pound sack of flour and
four pounds Of butter for 8 two
weeks supply of food, and no other
kind or quantity of food. and this
was supposed to last him two weeks
and he has eight in the family.

C.C.C. Camp which is located in
Randel, Wash. All the boys lost
practically all their personal cloth

On April 5th, 1884, 200 boys we're
discharged, leaving only 70 in the
camp. We were all practically naked
as far as our personal clothing was
concerned. We were wondering how
we could get back to our homes.
The camp officials refused to give
us the government clothing we had
been wearing for the one year we
had been in service.
The boys should have organized
and demanded that they get the
clothing before they left the camp.
And the C.C.C. is supposed to give

EMPLOYERS OF ESTIC
WORKERS NOT AMENABLE
TO LAW, SAYS n. r. A.

We promised to print the
letter sent from the n. R. A.
to the Domestic Workers
Union when the union sub
mitted the code which it had
drawn up-a code, as Mary
Ford of the union said, contain
ing such demands as so cents an
hour for day work, $3.50 a week for
part-time work, and $40 a week for
full-time work, no discrimination
because Of age, sex, color or nation
atty, no agency fee, and an eight
hour day, siX-day week"
Well the union got a couple of
letters from the n R. A. One Of
them was printed in the March is
sue Of the Domestic Workers News,
one sentence reading as follows:
'YOu will observe that industry
codes are submitted by industry
groups and not by groups of work
ers."
Here's the other letter. It's pip.
If hot air could feed the workers
they'd be in the pink Of health:
Dear Mrs. Ford;
General Johnson has requested
US to answer your letter of
March l.
As you well know, the President
has the welfare of all citizens at
heart and he sincerely wishes that
some way could be found to i'm
prove the conditions of household
workers. You will realize, how
ever, that this is not an easy mat
ter. The main reason, of course,
Is that unlike a business or manu-
featuring enterprise, the house Of
an individual citizen cannot be
made the subject of regulati ons
and restrictions. Even if such
regulations could be made, their
enforcement would be virtually
impossible owing 10 the very great
number of homes In the country
and the wide divergence in the
individual means Of the different
owners.
Nevertheless, you will be af-
fected indirectly by the workings
of the National Recovery Admin
istration. Its purpose is to re-
store happy conditions throughout
the country and the resulting inn
proyement in the personal situa-
ton Of employers of household
help will surely lead the former
to do their part" in passing some
of these benefits on to those who
toll faithfully day in and day cut
in the nations homes. Please
feel sure that we are doing every
thing possible to effect this much
needed result.
If there is any information per-
tanning to the working of the Ad-
n1iHistration, please feel free to
call upon us at any time.
