Daily Worker,
Dear Comrades:
I deem it necessary to write
to you to make a few corrections
and additions to the write-up on
the Madison Square Garden May
First meeting that appeared in
the Daily Worker on May 8 on
the second page.
First. the article states that
the Madison Square Garden
meeting was under the auspices
of the United Front May Day
Committee which is incorrect.
The above committee ran the
parade and Union Square dem
onstration; the New York Dis
trict of the Communist Party
ran the Madison Square Garden
meeting under its sole auspices.
In the resolutions mentioned
nothing is said about the tele-
grams sent to Roosevelt and
Mendieta on the situation in
Cuba, the first one demanding
cessation of intervention by
American imperialism in Cuba
and demanding the withdrawal
of all armed forces, as we'll as
Gallery, the agent Of American
imperialism. The telegram to
Mendieta demanded the release
of all political prisoners, rights
of the workers to organize,
strike, etc.
A telegram was adopted to be
sent to the Soviet Union hailing
their victorious building of So
cialism and pledging defense in
case of irnparialist attack

Win Recognition
OF Relief Workers
Union in Indiana
By a Worker Correspondent

DIV Il hOEkET
PRINCETON, Ind. - In Gipsom
County, Ind, we have organized the
workers that are working under the
new relief plan. Last week the men
decided that they would demand the
so cents per hour instead of the 40
cents the relief set, so the first day
on the job strike was called. There
were So men on the job All Of them
responded to the strike call except
some 8 or TO-
Well, we soon pulled them into
line and the job was shut down.
The Relief had man sent down
from headquarters in Indianapolis.
Well, we met him and the rest of his
bunch in our hall. He wanted the
men to accept the 10 cents that the
local Board set, but they refused, so
he told them if they did not accept
that they would take the relief out
of the county. They set another
day for the men to start back on
the job.
Inere were "a OUT OF 90 went Dack
to work, so we picketed the job but
failed to pull them of.
We'll, before we organized, the re-
lief would only recognize an indi-
vidual but now they have agreed
to recognize our union and our de-
mands of so cents are going to be
settled right here in our own town.
We have learned one thing out OF
our trouble. Give the men the right
kind of leadership. Even though
the majority of them have had no
dealings with union they are ready
to struggle. Things are looking bet
ter here since we got organized
though there is still plenty of room
for improvement.

Tulsa Salt Miners Find ALL,
NRA, Company Controlled

The workers took a. strike vote
when it was found impossible to get
them to have the hearing in Tulsa
and Judge Warren informed the
workers that they could expect no
cooperation from the A. F. of L. in
strike benefits or other ways. as
they had agreed to mo strike"
policy. Nothing at all was said as
to the business of the grievance
and the delay of months to get
action on the case, and the fragrant
manner in which the Texas Com
pany had overridden the workers
rights under the MIRA. Supposed
rights.
This is what the workers must
expect Of A. F. Of L. leaders who
are judges, Office seekers and cor
poration lawyers.
Although the strike vote was de-
feated by one vote only (even after
Judge Warren demanded a three
fourths majority, the workers have
found what to expect under the

leaders, All are company con-

HELPER, Utah. = Mutual mine
strike is settled, which was on for
a few days on account of pay. The
company decided to call the miners
and promised those willing to work
that they will get paid.
About G. w. A. here in Helper I
understand that they are going to
open up some project and put on
some men, but it isn't going to pay
more than SOC per hour. But they
can't get union men to work for
that, just those that didn't join our
Rank and File union yet. You
could easily count those in HELPER
who didn't sign up yet. So fellow
workmen, I'd rather starve before I
work for 30c-and I won't starve!

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
StrabiSmuS

NJ. L., Bronx.-It is not usual for
a baby's eyes to be crossed. The
eyes of the newborn are as straight
as those of adults unless they suffer
from strabismus (squint-eyes). Very
little can be done for infants who
are cross-eyed. AS they become
older, certain ocular exercises can
be instituted; errors of refraction
can be corrected and other meas
ures can be taken to minimize the
amount of squirting, depending on
the type of strabismus from which
the child is suffering, When neither
of the medical measures succeed in
curing the squin ing, we have to
resort to surgical correction. An
operation is usually delayed until
the seventh year or later.

I ARGE fortunes have been
~ derived for a privileged
few by a consistent and
vicious exploitation of the avi-
alton workers. The industry
In all its phases has been subjected
to the arrogant manipulation of a
few financial buzzards who have
reduced the conditions to the odor-
Gus state Of their own banking
racket.
These business wizards, loaded

parade of efficiency experts, &C
countants and army officers with
clanking medals and the well-known
pull gave a startling exhibition Of
how to wreck a business.
Codes Better than Axe
The red and the filters increased,
so the profound executives polished
the axe and started, as usual. to trim
the operating personnel from the
bottom up-not too far up-the
workers as usual getting the worst
of it. Then the professional poll

loud enough were bought off as per
Halliburton, but the rest were just
out of luck.
Fields were deserted, hangers
padlocked, workers fired and air
transportation became the closed
monopoly of a few manufacturing
and operating companies. The axe
kept swinging on the workers IN
field and factory until the N R. A.
codes were submitted by the manu-
facturers. After that the axe was
buried-the codes did a better job

WEST TULSA, Okla. - Judge
Warren, A. F. of L. State President
Of Oklahoma, who consented to
issue a charter after salt workers
had organized themselves, pulled
the rawest sellout ever known
among A. F. 70 L. misleaders.
Upon organizing, the workers
we're given to understand that no
one would be discharged for union
activities under the MIRA, and
when this happened in the case of
Claude Pruitt, shift foreman, who
was especially active in getting his
men into the union, the workers
were told that they had a griev-
ance and the A. F. of L. heads
referred the matter to the Regional
Board, who decided to try the case
in Kansas City, Mo-, where it would
be impossible for workers and wit
nesses TO attend.

MILITANT VOICES FROM THE
MINING PATCHES

Dear Comrade Helen Luke:
When our column first began
many of us women here in the
mining field used to razz it but now
we see that under your direction it
is coming through as real in
fuence: the other day when we were
discussing how it is getting good,
we said: Why can't we women work
toward real Women's Page?
Surely we will have the support of
the c. P. in this, and the added
support of all the women in towns
where we have not as yet a Party.
If all women who read and use the
column would take the Daily into
their organizations and use it there,
we could not only have a Woman's
Page by September but we could also
have some Party units where we
have now only D. w. readers IN
organized.
The women should stay at
home and not participate in any
organization or struggles of the
miners" says Lewis. Comrades,
we can't eat that advice nor will it
cover our starving bodies. We
know full well what the n. r. A.
did and is doing for us: guns of
improved make, and cheaper tear
gas being made in large quantities
now for use against the workers.
So we must organize, and organ
lze into women's auxiliaries here in
the mining field and take part in
the economic and political strug-
giles just as the rich women do but
with the addition of our workers
persistence learned in face Of their
machine guns and tear gas and
police dogs.
We have proved our strength
on the picket lines, and comrades,
we must use our power. Three or
four women on an organizing
committee around every mine
could turn the patches upside
down. No wonder Lewis does
not want the auxiliaries organ
lied!
Let us start some discussion
through this column on organizing
women's auxiliaries in every UNI.
WA. local We want to bring to
the attention of the comrades a
paper just out again, The Rank
and File Coal Digger"
We should all see to it that
we support the Goal Digger" so
that news like this from the n.
Y. Times, Jan. Fl, 1884 can't
come out of the mining field:
Officials of the United Mine
Workers of America were so con-
fident that the backbone of the
strike would be broken next
week that they arrange to leave
here for the international con-
vention in Indianapolis"
The Rank and File Coal Digger
is a guide to action against such
conventions of breakers who
claim to speak in the name of the
miners, and we wives Of miners
should make ourselves agents for
such a paper, give it all possible
help, see that it is published often
and sent through the mining field.
The address Of The Rank and
File Coal Digger is 929 Fifth Ave,
Pittsburgh, Pa
There are many ways in which
women not in the mining field can
help. For instance, in other or
plantations they can raise money
and send it to the paper (The r.

Altogether these expert chisellers

we're not organized and therefore
not represented. Plane speed was

rate to substitute the former mile
age rate. Licensed mechanics were

They have organized and struck
at a number Of points. They are
militantly fighting back in Hartford

have seen the old mutual admira-
ton, social and company societies
collapse under the necessity Of de-
termined and collective action. They
have formed and are forming in
dependent unions that reflect a
militant and intelligent understand
ing of the economic problems Of the
aviation workers.
Union of the Whole Industry
1t is. however, becoming more OBJ
vious that the organization of the
aviation employees must follow the
same complete method of the avia-
ton combines linking together both
manufacturing and operating activ-
tiles in a common objective. From
the pilot in the air to the engineer,
mechanic, radio, student, Office,
traffic, ETC., factory and field-all
united in one economic purpose.

within single unified organization.
A federation of all aviation en-
ployees is the answer.
There is no argument for hesita-

future economic conditions of the
aviation employee in every section
