Has Good Receiving
System, But Gives
Out Nothing
By a Worker Correspondent

NEW YORK; have been a
member and a soldier Of the Saliva
ton Army for Is years, a good pay
ing member, and when they sent
their officers to Bangor, Me, I was
one Of the first to take the poor Of
fcerS some food and coal. But now
what did I get from them when 7
wanted them to give me some work
in some of their institutes? They
could not find work for me.
know another brother about
my age in Brooklyn, that they
turned down too.
Two ChristmaSes ago I worked for
them on the street, collecting
money, and they didn't give me
enough for a Christmas dinner.
They gave others dinner but not
me. I had often heard some hard
things about them from other men,
which I never believed until now.
My trade is cooking and we all
know that they could employ me in
some Of their institutions.
I was sick for two weeks from
severe cold that got in that Gold
Dust Building.
The officers and captains of corps,
they have automobiles that cost
$780, How do they get the money?
I have collected money for them
on the streets of Boston and New
York. I have put into my self
denial envelope many times five and
ten dollars. But what did I receive
from them when I asked for
work? Nothing at all
And Miss Evangeline Booth comes
here to America once every year
and gobbles up all the money she
can get and goes back to England
with it. They are worth five mil
lions of dollars.
In that Gold Dust Building we
got mouldy bread and the so-caled
coffee-you could see the bottom
of the cup. And 1 slept on a steel
bed with no mattress under me for
six nights.
I went to the Summit st. corps
and the captain gave me letter to
go to the Gold Dust Building and
there I got washed. The first thing
we had to do was strip naked as
when We came into this world, and
walk up three big fights of stairs
and over those big floors. told the
man that was hungry but he said
supper was over for now. The next
morning we had to march back
again over the three big floors and
stairs, again naked, and I was a
sick man.

Mother of 6 Gets
81 a Month Relief

By Farm Worker Correspondent
SWINK, Colo.-I am sending
you these few lines to let you know
what is going on in the southern
part of Colorado, and in particular
about the farm hands.
1 got here in the residence of a
working party, and I find a lady
with 6 sons crying and ask why
they cry and she told me because
she hasn't anything to feed her
sons and I asked her if she has
been helped by the relief and she
told me, yes, that she gets 81 a
month and sometimes 81 a month.
but from this 81 she has to buy her
water to drink. I asked her whv
her child was without clothes and
she told me that the relief doesn't
want to give any clothes.

door to find them again and to
bring the news of the class strug-

When May 1 approached he
wrote to the organizer of the
Trade Union Unity League in Los
Angeles, asking him to come out
and speak to the workers who
were to be called together. When

Defense. One of our friends got i=f
touch with the International Labop
Defense and had a conversation
with them and then we organized a
branch and named it the Chapsa
Hill Branch. When we began to
participate in the meetings. we
heard the name "comrade." II
sounded very good to lis. and we
continued to meet and developed
a knowledge through reading the
Daily Worker, knowing the line Of
the Communist Party. Then we
came to the conclusion that we were
really Communists.
The District Organizer of the CITY
had heard of this branch. He came
out and gave us a talk. That opened
our eyes a little more. While he
was talking we got such inspiration
and understanding of this move
ment that when he completed his
discourse, giving us an understand
ing Of the Communist Party. T
think was the first of the bunch.
I said to him, Nov, I don't cara
to hear any more, I think want
to know how to get into this move
ment."
When he presented the applica-
ton cards and showed lis how to
fill them out, think that night Of
the meeting there was about Is or IS

we decided to form neighborhood

gether and we founded the neigh
borhood unemployment branch and
the first case we had come before
us was of an eviction case. I was
put on the committee. I look at
myself as pretty good husky fell
low. When I got there I saw fell
lows that we're huskier than I am.
looked at my committee and they
weren't as husky as I was, but we
could get along all right. They
tried to send us away. We forced
our way in. The furniture was sit
ting on the streets and rain was
coming on. We demanded this
minute, that they get out of here.
They saw we we're determined and
they said we might as well go away.
They didn't want to go but we
made them.
Comrades, I have taken a little
bit too long, I wanted to speak a
few minutes on the shop and union
work which we have started in the
place where am concerned in.
After coming into the Communists
Party, we tried to get workers to
fight for their rights under this
capitalist system For three years
1 have been trying to get workers
together and form union in order
not to have to put up with the
miserable conditions of the bosses.
At last, about six weeks ago. our
first meeting was held. At the sec
ond meeting we had or 7. The
third meeting we had 10. And at
the fourth meeting we had 80 and
then we called an open meeting and
we invited the whole shop. We had
kind of gotten strong and weren't
afraid of the boss then. We were
going to take our case in our hands
and not have company union.
That night We called the open
meeting, we had rs and about half
the gang signed up for the union,
and at the last meeting we had
100 to sign applications for the
union. When we counted all those
who had signed UP, we had about
300 and in that we see how we can
aid through the agitation of mem
bers of the Party in any place
where we are employed. Through
the union we have been able to es-
tablish a shop nucleus in the name
of the Communist Party.

BY educating the workers party,
Marxism educates the vanguard

to seize power and to lead the
whole people towards socialism,
to carry on and to organize the

was called by Russell Harrington,
president of the A. S. B. The foot

bring back the bacon and to show
that the Student Body was with
them the students turned out en-
masse. p. T. Ill.,
The pupils who were nominated
for Yell King and Queen were re-
quested to give a yell, Immediately
followed by our school songs under
the direction of Miss Miller, who
was assisted by the boys glee.
Mr.. Black asked the English
teacher to see that the pupils kenw
the songs so they could sing them
for our first home game next Fri
day with Grandview.
He also presented a picture of
a football boy and a lion together,
drawn by one of our talented fresh
men, Pearl Glispey. He stated
that if it could be enlarged it
would make fitting sign to go
over the entrance to the field. He
also suggested the name "Lions
Den" for our new field and asked
the students to think about it and
try to think of some other name.

1t was just one more game for
the Lions IS they came home last
Friday with the bacon-a twenty
four to zero score over Touchet.
r. Although Touchet is just a wide
thing for them; they have mighty
space in the road, We can say one
scrappy team considering the
amount of students they have to
pick from. 500.
The Lions played heads up ball
throughout the game, only letting
Touchet players make two first
downs against them. This makes a
total Of five first downs against
our team. in their first two games.
Most of the yardage was made by
off tackle plays and end runs. The
first touchdown was made by
Walters in the first quarter; the
second and third touchdowns were
made by Harrington in the second
and third quarters. The fourth,
and last, touchdown was made by
Graves in the last quarter. All the
points failed because they were
blocked by Touchet or because of
off side penalties against the home
team.
The starting lineup was center,
Gard; tackles, Boutelle and Tay-
lor; guards, Helm and Van Niman;
Oliver and O'Neil; backs, Maddox,
Harrington, Walters "a nd Graves.
Substitutions were made through
out the game.
Our next game which is with
Grandview will be a harder game,
but not too tough for the Lions. It
will be the first game to take place
in the new field and will also in
clude its dedication. 1t will be
be greatly appreciated if you will
all come out and support the team.
I know if you do the team will try
to the best of their ability to make
it as interesting as possible.

STAFF FOR OCTOBER

Dorothy Larkin

Next week, beginning with Octo-
Der 8, is Fire Prevention Week.
About three weeks ago, we had
with US Mr.. Syckes, who gave us
some valuable information upon
fire hazards which included some
demonstrations, and statistics on
deaths by fire. Every twenty
minutes some one is being burned
to death! This is about twenty-six
thousand deaths a year, most of
which could have been prevented
by removal of fire hazards.
Keep this acquired knowledge in
mind and as we go about our work
this next week, let's try to destroy
all fire hazards, prevent all poss-
IDLE fires, and make this world a
happier and safer place to live in.

Full Vision Gas Mask

A new gas mask originating in
Germany has several advantages
over the old-type, principally in
that it permits an unobstructed
view of the surroundings. Hereto
fore the view has been limited to
the immediate front of the wearer.
German soldiers ad workmen in
some industrial establishments are
being equipped with them. A
tough transparent material of the
celluloid family takes the place
Of rubber, fabric or glass. An Of
ficer or fireman has no difficulty
in recognizing the men under him
when they are using the new mask.
