Cleveland I.W.O. Demands
Council Endorse H.R. 1898

During the months of March and
April a special campaign was car
ried through to build the Youth
Section of the Order. During these
two months 200 members were
added to the Youth Section, Or 145
per month. The quota for the
Youth Section during the two cam
paign months was 125 per week
or 1000 for the two months. This
means that we just managed to
exceed the 5eekly quota in four
weeks
Add Is Members Per Week
Since the Youth Section is only
a transition section for members of
the Order, the regular growth must
be much higher than that of the
adult sections. The Youth Section
has a greater turnover 1t has not
only a loss of members who drop
out, but also a loss of members who
grow out, and into the adult Sec
ton. These losses have to be made
up; in addition a healthy growth
must be provided.
Where are the adult branches in
this campaign to build the Youth
Section? Where are the city COM
mitteeS and city central committee
of the Order? During the two
months of the campaign they were
expected to add, aside from the re-
cruiting by the youth branches
themselves, at least 25 new mem
bers per week to the Youth Section
They have not done so. This is q
sign Of our underestimation of the
Importance of the Youth Section
This weakness is not matter OF
numbers. AS far as numbers are
concerned we can be satisfied with
the growth of the order; it is very
good. But this is political weak
ness. The Order grows, but it does
not grow among the young workers
1t does not concern itself with the
young workers and leaves them tt
the enemies of the working class
Do we really want that? Surely not
In order to give possibility fol
this work, the National Executive
Committee of the Order has ex.
tended the campaign over May anc
June. 1t does not want to sugges
that the two month plan be accom-.
plished in four months. No. It
expectation is that the plan which
we did not fulfill during the
months of March and April shall
now be taken up anew and tina
one thousand new members b.
recruited during May and June
Let's go to tive can do it ant
we must do it. We shall do it.

The City Central Committee of
our International Workers Order in
Cleveland, Ohio, reports that it
had sent a committee to a public
hearing on social insurance. This
hearing was held by the Legislative
Committee of the Cleveland City
Council. Some 500 workers were
modified to attend the hearing.
In the name of the International
Workers Order, Comrade Schiller,
secretary of the City Central Com
mittee, demanded the endorsement
of H. R. 1898. Comrade Schiller
pointed out that the features of
this bill are an indispensable need
for the workers. These major fea-
lures are: Cd adequate insurance
in all cases of unemployment, dis
ability, old age, maternity, etc.; (2)
no discrimination on any account
against any worker; 90 admins
tration of the funds by the insured
workers themselves; "a the &C
emulation of the necessary insur-
ance funds out of taxes on fortunes
and profits and out of the assign
ment to the insurance funds appro-
priated for unnecessary eXpendi-
lures such as Army and Navy, etc.
The workers present emphasized
their agreement with Comrade
Schiffers arguments in favor of
H. R. Bill 1898.

1t is important that our TWO.
everywhere follow this example. We
of the I. w. o. must take the initia-
tive in the fraternal united fronts
we are building, that such hearings
are attended and that our demands
for the endorsement and passage
of H. R. Bill 1898 are voiced and
defended. At the same time the
I. w. o. itself and independent of
the united front, must be repre-
sented at such hearings. Leaflets
in favor of H. R. Bill 1898 must be
issued especially in connection with
such hearings and inviting the
workers to them. We must keep in
mind that the demand for social
insurance is at present the political
issue of all -shadowing i'm
portance for the masses of workers
Youth Section Is Weak
A report of the general office OF
the International Workers Order
shows that during the first four
months of this year 1894 new men,
bers we're recruited, and 2.073 chill

bers recruited, only All we're re-
cruited for the youth section.

ON THE SALVATION ARMY
New York City

New York City.
Most Of the facts contained in
this article we're gotten through
personal observation and from con-
versations with officials Of the Army.
The Salvation Army, which is a
semi-of11cial organization, has it's
own, as we'll as city representatives
working in the offices.
It's sources of income are varied.
Most of The funds come from con-
tributions. The city pays the army
a stipulated amount for every
worker who sleeps in the houses of
this organization. The city also
pays for every meal served.
Out of most of the funds collected
sec, 100000 has been invested in real
estate.
The Salvation Army pursues a
vicious policy of exploitation. Most
of the workers who are forced to
sleep in the Salvation Army build
ings must work from three to six
days a week for this privilege, not
getting any recompense.
Although much clothes is collected
from the public at very small cost
to the Army, very few workers get
this clothing until desperately in
need. Most Of the food is received
gratis. Although the officials are
served appetizing meals on trays
with clean utensils, the workers re-
ceive Stops which are served on
dirty rusty trays with rusty spoons
and forks.
In order to maintain their jobs
the officials of the Army perpetu-
ally keep the men on the bum. AL
though an employment Office exists,
this is used mainly as a medium
to worsen the condition of the work.
ers in their care.
This So-called charitable institu-
ton gives the workers living in their
houses one or two days work week,
sometimes not even that, through
their Employment Bureau. In a
survey made by social worker for

following figures were established

Women At LOWer Pay

By a Woman Worker COrreSp.
CLEVELAND, Ohio.-Perhaps
it would interest you to know
that the Forest City Foundry Co.
here is hiring women to work in
the foundry. Considering the
need of millions of unemployed
family men folk, this hiring of
women at lower wages is one of
the lowest bits of exploitation I
have ever heard of.
Being a woman myself, my
heart goes out to these poor

Program Of Health Magazine" and
the Specialization of Medicine
Continued
The assertion that only the fam
lily physician can have sufficient in
terest in his patient and that this
interest is the main guarantee for
a speedy cure, can no longer be up
held. The private country or city
practitioner is nothing more than
a petty merchant, selling health in
stead of groceries and, at that, I'M
able to sell the best available mer-
chandise on the market. This is
due to the general crisis which the
capitalist system is undergoing, and,
paradoxical as it may seem, to the
progress of the medical sciences.
Modern medicine has become
extraordinarily complex and much
more difficult to practice than
heretofore The art of healing, on
the other hand, has failed to keep
pace with the advances of modern

equipment and apparatus for med
ical investigation, research and
diagnostic technique are beyond the
purchasing power and ability of the
individual physician. Hence the
tendency for the general practi-
toner to refer most of his patients
to specialists. We are thus con-
fronted with the peculiar paradox
that the more scientific medicine
becomes, the more unscientific and
commercial must private medical
practice become. In his mad rush
to secure a practice, the physician
is forced to stoop to unethical and
sometimes to anti-social racketeer-
ing!
1t has been said that there are
too many medical men. We con-
tend that this is not true. From
the social aspect, from the point Of
view of prevention of disease, which
is the only true aim of the medi'
cine of the future, there can never
be too many physicians. 1t is only

New Machinery
Is More Hunger
Under Capitalism
By a Steel Worker Correspondent


MONROE, Mich.-The Newton
Steel Co. last year installed two
automatic catchers in the hot mill
and finish department.
Before this machine was installed,
two used to work there, and each
one of them was making about SO
a day, and now only one man works
there, and he only earns $3.50 day.
The company installed another SIM
liar machine this year.
The workers are beginning to re-
volt against the installation of these
new machines, and are beginning to
see through Roosevelt's promise
that he would reorganize the union
and force the company to pay the
workers eight hours wages for six
hours of work.
Therefore the workers are COM
ing out openly against Roosevelt's
policy, in which he admitted that
the workers should organize in the
company unions.

one remark that they didn't want
such members as I, and we should
all be kicked out of the League.
A few members have already
dropped from the League and upon
speaking to others I found they
had the same problem as I.
"Our unit meetings also end very
late. Our last meeting ended
about II o'clock.
"I believe our unit organizers
should try to see that the meet
ings don't end later than 1890,
and also that criticizing comrades
should be more tactful. I believe
that most of the members drop
out of the League for the same
reason as mine, and that the Y.

in seeing that the unit meetings
should be shorter and that stu

CONTRACT BRIDGE
Know When To Stop-High Card Tricks Alone Will Not Produce Game If They Fail To Fit With

Solution to Previous Contract Problem
BY VIM. E. MCKINNEY
Secretary of the American Bridge League

Perhaps the most important, and still the most difficult, thing for the beginner at contract to learn is that high card tricks alone with not produce game. Partners must find a fit in the two hands.
 We have learned generally that five to five and one-half high card tricks will produce game, but this is not true unless the two hands fit-and then a game often can be made with fewer high card tricks than these. Therefore. in the early rounds of bidding, don't bother so much to find out about high cards as to learn about that fit.
 When an opponent interposes bid-that may be the warning Of a misft hand. At least, you can not proceed much farther with the bidding unless you can ac- count for the losers in the suit that he tells you he is strong in.
 It is not advisable generally [" overcall one bid with a four-caro suit, but West cannot be criticized for overcalling with strong four card suit, especially since it is m the one zone--and he also shows his partner hand that is too weak to make negative double

suit, so the bidding properly stops at two hearts.
 The Play.
 Vests opening lead was the king of spades and he followed with the ace and queen. His fourth lead was a small club, the queen was finessed and it held the trick.
 Declarer then cashed the ace of clubs and East dropped the pack, which now advised the declarer that East was out of spades and clubs. Int king of hearts was cashed and a small heart led, South whining the second heart with the ace. South cashed the queen of hearts and West showed out. discarding his fourth spade.
 The declarer now had a perfect reading on the East hand-all he could hold was the good ten of hearts and four diamonds. If one of these diamonds were the queen, the declarer could make an extra trick by first cashing his ace of diamonds and then leading small heart, discarding club from dummy and throwing East in the lead.
 East then was forced to lead away from his queen of diamonds, and the declarer made three-odd.
