A worker has only half the chance
to live as an employer. If one
earns ones living with pick or
shovel - in the eyes Of some a
healthful, romantic outdoor sport
ones chances of living to a ripe old
age are only about half as good as
that of the president of the COM
pany.
Workers have known for long
time that it was something like this
but now the United States Public
Health Service comes forward with
some new statistics gathered in ten
states and proves it,
Unskilled laborers die off twice
as fast as the higher paid business
men, the report shows. Tubercu-
losis of the lungs, pneumonia and
accidents are the three leading rea-
sons for the death Of workers at
half the age of business men. Agri-
cultural workers, according to the
report, are an exception. They have
a lower death rate than successful
business and professional men.
1.-THE ten States in the study are
Alabama, Connecticut, Illinois, Kan
sas, Massachusetts,, Minnesota, New
Jersey, New York, Ohio and Wis
consin.
This table shows the death rates
among men of various occupational
classes, between the ages of IS and

tain occupations were particularly
hazardous and that the accident
rate among workers was high. But
accidents" stand third in the
causes of death. The first cause is
tuberculosis and the second pneu-
monia and death from tuberculosis
or pneumonia is not a matter of
hazardous occupation. These deaths
have direct relation to earning
power. This is so obvious that it
could not be lodged and the report
points out that "diet, housing,
amount of medical care, contact
with infected persons and low in
come are believed (bold face ours) to
play the chief part in causing so
many more deaths, especially from
tuberculosis and pneumonia, among
men in the low-pay classes" The
Public Health Service might well in
vestigate, also, the comparative
death rate of worker-mothe and

Dear Comrade Editor:
The cartoon, THE Chinese Wall. "
by Comrade r. W., of Oakland, Cali
fornis- is a valuable contribution
towards the subject in question.
The cartoon itself should be dis
tributed widely, and especially in
speakers schools.
The two other contributing COM
rades advise not to use Soviet
power" Soviet America" In your
note you defend this term.
Now, whether this term is "un-
American" or from your point of
view, correct, is in my opinion un-
important. Important in that the
American population has ten
dency to look at these terms as
Russian" and it should be seri-
ously considered to use the native
word, council" instead.
Our aim is to bring the truth
about Workers and Farmers Coun-
ellis to the masses.
The best way should be chosen.

worker has half the chance to live
as a successful business or profess

men and 49, for proprietors, man

facts they will demand the passage

NOTE: 1t is true, as numerous
correspondents has suggested,
that the English word council"
is literal translation of the Rus
sian word "Soyiet." The question
is then raised: why not discon-
tinue the use of the Russian"
word soviet" and use only the
English word council?
But such an apparently simple
substitution would not make for
additional simplicity or clarity. IT
would merely increase the con-
fusion.

English usage has the most varied

Ted Black Plays
Here Tonight
BY Feg Murray

It will be Ted Black and his
nationally known N.B.C. orches-
ira at Chevy Chase Lake tonight
(Friday) as the nearby Maryland
dance resort continues it's series
of headline" dance band pre-
sentations.
Black, who is known alike to
radio listeners and local dance
enthusiasts, is coming from the
Cafe Loyale, New York, where he
is under contract for an extended
engagement, and his appearance
here is by special arrangement
with the management of the
fashionable Fifth Avenue cafe.
This popular orchestra, which
features two talented vocalists-
Edith Caldwell and Dick Williams
created a sensation when it ap-
peared at the Lake in August of
last year, and is we'll remembered
by University of Maryland stu
dents as the band that played at
one of their proms earlier this
year.
In celebration of his birthday,
which occurs today, Ted is ex-
pected to arrange something
different" in entertainment.

pounds and pounds of assorted

The food was used in a scene

a racket.
Yesterday, while walking

OF an automobile and crying his
heart out. He had a bootblack's S
kit next to him. Remembering
your column, was prompted to
speak to him.
II asked him why he was cry
ing and he looked up at me with
very sad eyes. Then he gave me
almost the identical story that
Mrs. Hellinger had received. He
was old enough to know better, so
I shook a warning finger at him.

PeriIous Business
Bv MARK HELLINGER

PeriIous Business
OF course, spending money
when you haven't got it is a
rather perilous business. But
this gentleman doesn't mind.
He's sure a big package will pop
up somewhere. And it generally
does.
It is the hotels in which he
resides that go daffy trying to
keep up with him. He has lived
in several Of New York's finest
hotels, and all of them have had
the same nerve-wracking expert
ence. The reason is simple.
When he is in possession OF
money, our friend is the best
customer in the establishment.
He tosses lavish parties, giving
all the business to the hotel
and pays his bills on the dot. But
when money is scarce, he gives
the same parties-and doesn't pay
his bills at all.
Before the hotel quite realizes
what has happened, the Broad
wayite is into it for $4,000 or
$4,000. Then they can't put him
out. Rather than lose this large
sum, they permit him to charge
more and more. They know that.
if he hits on a proposition, he'll
pay up Immediately. But the
weeks usually drag along until the
management is on the verge of
insanity.
A few weeks ago, a little chlorine
called upon our friend at his
hotel. Sitting with him in his
lavish suite, she poured out a
very sad tale. She was living in
the Hotel P, she said, and
her weeks bill had been more
than she anticipated. Now there
was trouble.
IT told them that I'd written
home" she Sobbed, "and that I'd
have plenty of money in a day
or two. But they won't listen to
me.
They've locked me out of my
room, and they're holding my
trunks. And that isn't all. The
manager told me this morning
that, unless paid by tonight, he'd
see that went to jail"
The Broadwayite was furious.
"The Hotel p is supposed to
be one of the best hotels in New
York." he cried. "They have no
right to act that way with kid
like you. I'm sore; good and sore.
And by golly, I'm going to get
even with them.
Yes, kiddie, don't you worry. I'll
show them what touble means.
I'll make them wish they had
never done this to you"
= The girls eyes were wide.
But how?" she asked. How
will you do it?"
The Broadwayite pounded his
fists.
Easiest thing in the world" "
he declared. II, myself, will move
into their hotel!"...

Above the Best


Above the Best
During a meeting of the Un-
derworld Rotary Club years ago,
while. the members, true to form,
were rotating around a gallon
jug Of rare old Croatian gin, it
was disclosed that one member
had been infringing on the classi-
fications of the others. His
membership was based on his
slanderous and libellous activities
but he was found infringing on
the members for drunkenness,
gluttony and several moral laws.
In fact, he was secretly making
q career out of infringing. Since
it is contrary to the principles of
the Underworld Rotary Club to
expel a member for anything
except good conduct which auto
matically removes you from the
roSter-it was decided the in
fringer deserved a special classi-
fication. The reasoning was like
this: A man has to be SOD
degree scoundrel to get into the
Underworld Rotrary. Now here
was a member who had even
topped the 32d degree scoundrels.
He deserved some special rating.
A little soul-searching revealed
there was five other Underworld
Rotarians who had exceeded
themselves in villainy-one of
them an editor of national re-
pute. This select group met
and organized the shrine-nam-
ing it the Society of Cads and
BounderS. Lately the c. & B.
ranks have been depleted by
death-this is natural, consider
ing the life members must lead.
There are a few openings now
and I have been recommended
for memberships soon as I
can prove I'm a first rate, all
around rat!

Comedian Joe Penner, ever since

with fancy trimmings that was
just an inch or two shorter than
the front of the White House.
He bought it-but he's taken
only one ride in it. According to

himself addressing his uniformed
