OF from one to eight years have
been fired from the Mail Order
Division of Lane Bryant, Inc, for
organizing union there.
Mr.. Bagal, operating superintend-

meeting Of the employees at the

on 14th STREET, from a partially con-
cealed position along the wall of the
Civic Repertory Theatre across the
street.
Mr.. Gerson Garb, assistant to the
general manager of the mail order
store, INDUCED in excessive personal
abuse, threatened physical violence,
and ordered his secretary to call the
police when a delegation of four of
the discharged employees called up
on him for an explanation. He
bsuntE refused to recognize the
selected spokesman Of the group and
insisted on speaking with each in
diyidually. He had the effrontery
to explain the dismissals and lay
offs by claiming slump in bust

published sales reports of the firm
showing a Is per cent Improvement
for the first nine months of 1884
over the corresponding period OF

example Of employer exploitation
OF employees. The management,
fully aware of the prevalent fear Of
unemployment, makes little or no
attempt to conceal its porcine ar
rogance in all affairs concerning the
three-hundred-odd employees of the
mail order store. Wages are held
down to the retail code minimum,
no sick leave is granted, lighting is
worse than in any modern dairy
barn, equipment is so badly neglect
ed as to be virtually worthless,
freight elevator service Is crippled
because operators are required to
do other jobs, clerks constantly do
porter's work and dismissals are
summary and without any advance
notice or wages.
Whenever an employee complains
about any feature of working con-
ditions some other low-paid worker
is held to blame. Off1cers with clear
authority to correct abuses are care
full never to concede their respon-
sibility. The buck is passed along
to some helpless fourteen-d ollar-a-
week clerk.
The Office Workers Union is seek
ing redress from the Regional Labor
Board for the fragrant code viola
ton perpetrated by the recent
wholesale dismissal. If this gets us
nowhere, more drastic action will
follow.
We need the immediate support OF
all interested persons.

Los ANGELES.-I am a World
War veteran. I have been unem-
ployed for four years. ! have been
forced to go to camp for IS month
under N. r. A. New Deal.
vent to camp POLL from Sacra-
msnto on June 1, 1884. and worked
there from June LIST to July 9Th,
and because of my activity in camp
I was forced to quit my JOB. I came
back to Sacramento to demand my
pay. The F. E. R. A. in Sacramento
refused to pay me, so I came to the
state headquarters in Los Angeles
to state my case. I was told to come
back in two weeks. I did SO, then
they told me to come back a week
later and I did that. Then they
told me the third time to come back
in another weeks time.
But I am determined to keep up
my fight to the end to get results
from those thieves of the New Deal
for Vets. I am denied relief from
Los Angeles County because I will
not go back to camp to get robbed
some more from the S. e. r. A.

for the first time In New York
State In 1884 because more than
25,000 votes were polied for the
Communist Party in the 1888
elections.
But while it is necessary for
every cOmrade to understand the
legal machinery of the elections,
the struggle to maintain the legal
ity of the Communist Party does
not ultimately depend upon the
fuIfillment of these technical re-
quirements.
The struggle to maintain the
legality of the Communist Party
is struggle against Fascism. The
struggle against Fascism Is the
struggle to maintain the civil
rights of the working class, the
right to enroll and vote, of free
speech and assembly, to strike,
picket, organize, etc.
The struggle against Fascism Is
u life and death battle for the
working class. 1t must be waged
from day to day in every issue
that we face. The elections must
be made an instrument of this
struggle. The worker who yields
his right to register in the cleo
tions his support Of the revolu-
tionary party of the working class,
paves the way to Fascist terror
and oppression.
1t is, Of course, fact that Com
munist enrolment may in some
individual cases result in mad
visedly exposing or victimizing
comrades who, fer a special rea-
son, should conceal their Com
munist affiliahon. This must be
taken into consideration. How
ever, the only guarantee that this
persecution will be hindered from
advancing against growing num-
bers of workers, against the entire
working class, is the fearless
readiness of every comrade to mo-
bilize his fellow workers for mass
struggle against the menace Of
Fascisrn. under the leadership Of
the Communist Party.

Says S. L. P.
BY a Worker Correspondent

NEW HAVEN, Conn. - The So
cislist Labor Party is holding open
air meetings on the Green once a
week. 1t is hard to understand their
speakers. They condemn the Com
munists for going to the City Hall
to get relief for the starving people.
They say it only debases the work
ers for looking for sops, and SO on.
One man said to a speaker, How
am I going to live until the Rev
olution? That is the only means I
have to get myself something to
eat, mass action. The Communists
go over to the City Hall and force
the syStematizers to give us some
food, and the Socialists come and
eat the food as well as we do. Then
they say that we are a setback to
the Revolutionary movement. How
is that?
Then the S. L. P. speakers say
that their party does not believe in
palliatives in any shape or manner.
The speaker exhorts the workers to
vote for the Socialist Labor Party
and none other. Now supposing the
twenty or thirty thousand in this
city affairs, wouldn't that be pal
ticket this coming election, and they
would find themselves in charge of
city affairs, wouldn't that be pal
liatives"? 1t they would not do any
thing for the unfortunates, what
would be the sense of voting for
them?

of the Pearl White Laundry, 1916
Park Avenue, and arrested John
Bulloff, worker in the Oak Laun-
dry, and Jesse Taft and Julius
Schribman, organizers for the
Laundry Workers Industrial Union.
AS a result of their militant self
defense in court Taft and Schrlb-
man were acquitted but the judge
fined Bulleff $40 on a disorderly
conduct charge, as face saving
gesture. The strikers of the Pearl
White and the workers locked out
Of the Oak are determined to be
back with larger picket line at
7 am. this morning, to prevent the
opening of the shop. The workers
of the Fordham Laundry, a union
shop, met last night 10 consider
strike action in sympathy with those
already locked out and striking.

He began with political economy,
but no one understood him. Finally
one of his comrades poked him in
the ribs, stop! Then he stuck his
head out and began to yell helpl
S. L. P. and Industrial unionism.
Now that he got himself to-
gether and opened his eyes he
called for questions. There were a
few questions from his own COM
rades through which he attacked
the Communist International. I
believe after he answered those
questions he felt better, but de-
cided I would put the finishing
touches and ask him as follows:
How long has the S. L. P,
preached the industrial unionism?"
Thirty-four years. (He didn't like
me at all after that question:
How soon will they begin to or
ganize the industrial unions?"
That's when he got hot under
the collar and didn't answer me.
Finally, I asked If he were a mem
Der OF an industrial union?
Boy, you should of seen him then,
that was the end of him!
Are you surprised this boss gang
ster and his fascist agents did not
mention one single word about
either fascism or preparations for
imperialist war in this country. or
the textile strike, in his whole
speech. I'm not surprised. Why?
I know the S. L. p. hasn't got it
in their program to fight the capt.
talist system but on the contrary
to support it.
Well Mr.. J. P. Quinn, suppose
you come to S. U. and deliver an
other speech. one like last time.
Why, the workers in s. U. would
put you in the Moscow zoo where
all the counter revolutionists are.

They used to stop the machines

they sometimes run up to quarter
of five, with no extra pay. AS for
lunch, the work often comes down
so late, that our three quarters of
an hour is cut to a half hour, and
we even have to speed-up with eat
ing so as to get back on time.
The bosses told us that if we had
any grievances, we only had to tell
them to our delegates of the Sun
shine Association, but when we tell
them these things, they don't do
anything about it.
Sometimes, we don't get relief,
more often than once in two weeks.
When we brought this up, two of the
girls said they don't need relief. I
don't know what kind of girls those
were. If there was any way OF or

Acne
Pimples and blackheads are due to
a condition called Acne Vulgaris, ;"
or common acne. It is due to a dis
turbance of the oil glands OF the
skin which get plugged to form
blackheads (comedones) and later
pimples. The blackheadS are not due
to dirt getting in the pores.
The best treatment today is with

method is to express the blackheads
with "comedone expressor" which
is small thin fiat metal bar with
a hole at either end, or one end.
The end with the hole is placed over
the blackhead and squeezed out by
making a downward pressure. First
sterilize the skin and instrument
with rubbing alcohol or 10 per
cent alcohol. After squeezing out
the blackheads, as directed, apply
Lotto Alba to the face and wash it
off the next morning. Lotto Alba is
a white chalky mixture which can
be bought at any drug store with

worker is required to state his
party utilization.
In the letter printed above, the
comrade raises the question of ex-
posture of the names of Commu-
nists and Communist sympathiz-
ers. This question has been asked
by many comrades. It must be
answered.
First, however, let MS follow
through the technicalities Of the
legal machinery. Enrolment is
necessary in order that the Com
munist Party may also participate
In the primaries, which take place
before the election, for the pur-
pose OF endorsing candidates pro-
posed by the Party in the coming
election and for the purpose OF
choosing the election machinery
Of the Party Estate committees,
county committees, etc. as re-
quired by law.
In the primaries those who en-
roll have the opportunity Of put
ting up opposing candidates.
Therefore 1t will be understood
that unless comrades enroll Com
munist and vote in the primaries,
it opens the possibility for enc
mics of the Party to go into the
primaries and take over the cleo
ton machinery and even to place
enemies of the Party on the Party
ticket.
Again from the point Of view
Of legal technicalities, 1t Is nee
essary to mobilize every possible
vote for the Party, in order that
the Party may automatically so
on the election ballot, without the
necessity of securing petition sig
natures. This was accomplished

AFLRank and

Red Builder
BY a Worker Correspondent

DIES MONIES, Ia.-while Bob
zornes, Daily Worker agent, was
defending himself against an A. F.
of L. thug, an unidentified rank
and file member of the A. F. of L.
took up the papers and started
selling them to the crowd OF work
ers who had been attracted by the
fight.
zornes had previously been or
dered from the corner, which is
occupied by the Trades and Union
Labor Assembly Hall, by the agent
for the Painters Union. He was
attacked when he refused to leave.
During the fight he knocked the
thug down three times, who was
finally rescued by his bosses.
A report of the trouble was for
warded to the Communist head
quarters and strong defense COM
mittee went Immediately 10 the
corner. The committee remained
on the corner while Zornes con-
tinued to sell the Daily Worker. By
this time many rank and filers
were openly expressing themselves
against the action of their leaders
in their effort to chase Zornes
from the corner.
The Painters agent, Atwood,
made hurried trip from the COR
ner and returned with five or six
more thugs but by this time the
sentiment of the workers was too
strongly in favor of the Daily
agent. Several attempts we're made
however, to provoke members of
the defense committee, but this too
failed when workers would inme-
diately crowd around the commit
tee members.
During the time when the Daily
Worker was being attacked, several
hundred striking hosiery workers
were marching into the hall for a
mass meeting. The attack on
zornes was obviously an attempt
to provoke arrests of Communists

mill strike. Previous to this. an I'M
successful attempt was made to
cause trouble when a Negro work
er was struck by an unidentified
hanger-on in the crowd. A. F.. of L.
officials attempted to blame this
act onto Communists. but were i'm
mediately exposed in their rotten
maneuvering by several workers
present.
A strong defense committee will
be on the job hereafter while
Zornes sells the Daily Worker on
this corner. In addition, many
other workers have voluntarily Of
fered their assistance.
The Daily Worker will continue
to be sold to the rank and file Of
the A. F. of L. on this corner despite
the fear of the corrupt officials.
