OUR RURAL WOMEN
ted BIZ
HELEN LUER

Some of the grievances of farm
women We mentioned yesterday.
Besides enduring the drudgery and
lack of facilities for comfort and
sanitation, women of rural districts
are faced with two serious needs:
that for better maternity care, and
for better recreational and educa-
tional facilities, for themselves as
well as their children.
In an article (the first of an an
nounced series on the question o.
maternity care, the Pictorial Review
says: According to the most recent
statistics, says this sheet, there are
seven deaths OF mothers to every
thousand deliveries in the country
at large
And the Pictorial Review, as well
as the bourgeois press generally, is
highly wrought up about this alarm
ing fgure-higner than in any other
civilized" land-and talks about it
at some length, with the usual re-
suit in bourgeois papers; placing Of
the responsibility on the mothers
themselves, but without recommend
ing that these mothers try to bring
about the necessary drastic changes
In our social and economic system.
The article describes at some
length the high standards and low
death rate OF the Polytechnic Hospital
OF New York, admonishing the wo-
men everywhere to demand SINH
lar facilities and higl, standards Of
medical AID; It also indicates that
generous fees should be paid since
the doctors time, skill and knowl-
edge, and the mothers lives, ARE
worth st." CThe old impasse)
Naturally, the greatest sufferers
are in the rural districts, where
hospital facilities and highly skilled
attendants and doctors are lacking.
I would suggest that Comrade B.
B. 3. send TO the Bureau of Vital
Statistics tat Washington State
CAPITAL and ask for the statistics
giving the rate of maternity NOR
tality in cities and in rural dis
sricts of that state. Not only are
the deaths of the mothers to be con-
sidercd, but also their Gripping
through bad deliveries, and the
death and ill-health Of children due
also to the same lack of adequate
medical care.
The lack OF recreational life was
shown by the letter from another
organizer of rural women published
some time ago; she said the women
could always get away to go to a
dance but not to meeting. This
goes to chow how hungry the women
are for recreation. In the Soviet
Union such conditions (of isolation
and loneliness) are being overcome
BY building on the collective farms
theatres, cultural clubs, schools,
gyninasiums, ct cetera. On my
grandfathers' farms. as well as on
others, the only art museum was the
outdoor 'backhouse," pasted full of
pictures from catalogues. You could
st ard contemplate beautiful wo-
men. prize stations, big bright to-
natoes. huge purple pansies. and
rosy kids feeding salt to woollv
sheep. and thus elevate your mind,

Fired from C.W.A.
Job for Not Voting
For Right Party
By a WORKER Correspondent

ALBANY, N. Y.-On Dec. 6, I
signed up for work on the @. w. A.
and presented a copy of my military
service.
7 succeeded in getting on C.WA.
work as a painter January 2 last
with five other men. One of these
and myself were the only two on
this Job that were enrolled Repub-
leans; Eugene Horniug was the
foreman of this job on Bath No. 3
on Central Avenue.
reported on the job as usual
Monday morning but was informed
by foreman Horning that I had
been laid off. He told me he had
orders from a Mr.. Sweeney, a paint
ing inspector for the city Of Albany
CThis Mr.. Sweeney was a shoe clerk
before the politician made a paint
ing inspector of HIND to lay off the
other Republican and myself. and
7 would like to state too that he and
I were the only two men on the
Job who were paid up members Of
the Union of Painters, Psperhang-
ers and Decorators of America.
I went to the city hall and saw
the shoe clerk" inspector Mr.. Swee-
ney, who said, ut don't make any
difference where I got the author
ity; you are done"
I then went to Mr.. Oliver Warhus,
the assistant director of the C.WA
After waiting hours or more, I
made so much noise that at last he
showed me card purporting to
have come from the city engineer,
James Brennan, saying that in or
der to equalize the work on that Job
it was necessary to lay us of. This
card was signed by foreman Horn
ing.
How this equalization was figured
out I can't tell, for the other four
men we're left on the job that went
to work the same day as we did
also two new men that we're placed
on the job by a politician of the
14th Ward named Charles Bonaugh-
tington
Mr.. Warhus told me at that time
that I was not discharged but sim
ply laid off, though the same day
he told the other worker that he
would get back to work on the G..
w. A., but 7 never would. although
I at that time told him that
plainly understood that it was be-
cause I had voted and worked for
the fusion ticket, and had been a
candidate for alderman in the 14th
Ward in the last election.
He denied that it was politics, and
offered me a ticket so that 7 could
work with pick and shovel, I sup
pose that was to teach me that it
is absolutely wrong for a man who
works for living to use his own
Judgment and vote as he sees fit.
This statement I tried to have
printed in the Knickerbocker Press,
Albany Evening News, and the
Times Union of this city, but was
told that it was not news as it con-
cerned only myself.

Musicians Win Right
of Local Autonomy At
Cleveland Convention

CLEVELAND, June 24.-The rank
and file committee of the Amer
lean Federation of Musicians scored
victory in, their fight for local
autonomy at the convention of the
union which just closed its sessions
here.
The convention decided that all
locals shall have the right to elect
all officers with the exception of the
chairman who will stay in two
years.
Leaders of the locals and national
officials of the union were opposed
to local autonomy in selecting local
officials The fight for local au-
tonomy was started and led by the
Rank and File Committee in Local
S02 Of New York.

has given the company a basis for

The Communist Party is calling

In Bessemer the situation in the

strike for more than five weeks, has
the workers defending themselves
against the National Guardsmen in
the Raimund ore mines. In Besse-
mer the miners sent a protest to
Governor Miller in Montgomery to
move the National Guard from the
red ore miners area of the T.CI.
and Republic mines. The citizens
of Bessemer Sunday night called a
mass nesting to see Governor Mil
Ter and protest against the Ma
tional GuaroSmen.
The whole city was in an up
roar Saturday and Sunday in Bees
semer. The workers took two ma
chine guns from the National
Guardsmen Friday night at the
Raimund mine, and ran the Ma
tiOnaI Guard away from the shafts
Of the mine. and up to the bunk
house of the scabs.
The workers see that what the
Communist Party has been telling
the miners about the MIRA. and
President Roosevelt is true. Hugh
S. johnson is also miSleader and
strikebreaker, and also Mrs. Boxdaill
is a presidents agent. They are
carrying on campaign against the
Communist Party because they are
playing a two-handed game with
the company to mislead the workers
in their strike, but the reason is
that the Party is teaching the work
ers how to fight against the mis-
leaders in the union.
I found that the bombing in the
striking area is done by stoolpigeons
of the company, and police and
company thugs. 1t has happened
that the National Guard sat up all
night to guard scab houses all over
the Bessemer area.

Employees
Find Conditions
WOrSeUnder NRA
BY a Worker Correspondent

NEW YORK.-Since 1929 the
number of workers in florist shops,
and the wages, have been sliced and
re-sliced to such an extent that the
cut in wages for statesmen is as
much as rs per cent; for truck
drivers an average of so per cent;
for sundry workers from Is per
cent to so per cent.
The hours have by no means been
lsaaened. Where Is men. for ex-
ample, worked - hours per day for
six to six and a half days per week,
on the average eight men are dis
charged and the remaining seven
are speeded up so per cent.
Since the N.R.A., the employers
have been more willy in preventing
the workers obtaining any better
conditions. For example, this par
ticular firm employs a salesman
and two helpers Before the de-
preston the position of salesman
claimed a salary of from SIS to 500
per week; the helpers received $40
to $40 per week. The hours were
from 8 am. to 7 pm. for six and
half days totaling SO hours per
week. At the time of the drawing
of the code, the salesman received
$25 and the helpers $l4 to S18 for
the same amount of hours-minus
vacation.
The Florists Code calls for a 43-
hour week at a minimum of SIS
with time and one-third for over
time. A scale of wages was written
into the code to cover minimum
wages for all levels of the retail
trade.
Wages under the minimum were
raised. The salesman was formerly
dubbed manager, automatically ex-
empting him from any raise. Hours
we're not shortened. The store is
allowed to remain open Sunday
with the stipulation that the
worker must have full day of rest
during the week. The day is never
given, but the store opens on any
Sunday the employer felt necessary.
To make complaint to the N
R. A. board would not only be job
suicide but blscklisting. There are
number of organizations and
Florist Boards to protect the en-
ployer, but not a single one for the
worker.
A system of partial employment
is utilized by group of these flor
lists to scuttle the need and defray
the expense of hiring extra men for
delivery work and at the same time
give false show of generosity.
To return to those regularly en-
ployed, the majority of florists do
not pay for holidays but force the
workers to work not only overtime
but in the case of Christmas and
Easter clear through the night till
well into the next afternoon with
out, in the greater amount of cases,
cent of pay.
We, as floral workers know the
hopelessness Of gaining the rights
that the code describes. We know
that its enforcement is farcical. We
know that we can hope for moth
ing from the employer The only
force that can be used is unioniza-
ton of all floral employees.

To Enlist 100000 New
Youth Into CCC Camp

WASHINGTON, D. G. More
than 100000 young workers, war
veterans and woodsmen will be "se-
lected" this month for enrolment
during July, G. c. G, director Fech-
into the militaristic c. c. G. camps
ner announced Saturday
The new enlistment into the dol
lar-a-day military G. c. G. camps
will bring the enlistment up to 303,-
900. Thousands of young workers,
unable to endure the military con-
ditions and the bad food are desert
ing the camps each month.
The C. c. c. camps, which Fech-
ner recently indicated would be re-
tanned as a permanent institution
of the Roosevelt war preparations,
also limit the term of enlistment
to six month periods in order to
militarize a broad section of the
American working class youth.

Vote Down Big Pay
For HarryShe
Nv a Worker Correspondent


NEW YORK Harry Sherman re-
Gently moved his chair from Para
mount Publix where he was labor
arbitrator at $4,000 a year to be-
come President of Local sos, Motion
Picture Operators, A. F. of L., at
a salary of $1,000 a year. He was
also made chief organizer at $4,000
year. This gave him the full
power to organize as he sees fit.
He succeeded Sam Kaplan, who,
with one of his henchmen, just went
to Jail for a period of six months
to three years for misrepresentation
of funds.
Sherman has seen fit to spend
few pennies less than a million
without organizing any theatres,
but losing nearly SO per cent Of the
theatres that were union. The only
circuit which he gained back was
the Manhattan Playhouses, but the
salaries were reduced from SS5 -S75
to $32-$28, and the hours were in
creased FROM SO to 50-58 hours.
Sherman was today defeated
unanimously by rank and file mem
bers of the union. as chief organ
izer
Now let lis see if the so-called
labor leader, who waited for the
MIRA. to organize the moving pic
ture operators trade, will remain as
president for $1,000 year, when
he was getting $4,000 a year. He
squandered over a million dollars,
and all the membership knew, was
that it was spent for "rehabilita-
ton" How much went to his
pocket, no one can tell.
The membership put up a hard
battle to take their union back.
They have also won a per cent
cut of the IL per cent assessment
that they are paying.
