To TAKE four
HOUSE SEATS
Solid Democrat Delegation
From Indiana Faces Set
back at Polls.
BY DANIEL Nj. KIDNEY
Times staff Writer

WASHINGTON, June 21.-Indi-
ana's delegation in the house for
the seventy third congress was all
Democratic. AS the congress drew
to a close, it was being predicted that
Republicans will win at least four
of the seats this fall
Not since the sixty-third congress
was the house delegation all Demo-
Gratis from Indiana. They were
elected in 1912 with Woodrow Will
son. The present delegation went
in, of course, with President RooSe-
welt.
The four who are rated as most
likely to lose their seats all are from
normally Republican districts They
are William T. Schultz, who faces
former Judge E. Miles Norton in the
Lake county district; George r.
Durgan, who must meet the whirl-
wind campaigner, Frederick Lands,
in the Second district; Mrs Virginia
E. JenckeS, who has the veteran
former Congressman Fred Purnell
to fight in the Sixth district with a
divided Democratic party there, and,
finally, Finly H. Gray, who is OPP
posed by Judge Robert Murray of
Muncie.
Veterans in Race
Several other former Republican
congressman are in the race, but not
rated with much chance for victory
The veteran Andrew j. Hickey is
running against Samuel B. Petten-
gill in the Third, but Mr.. Pettengill
has beaten him twice previously.
Former Congressman David Hogg
is opposing Congressman James I.
Farley in the Fourth district, and
former Congressman Albert L. Hall
is in the race against Glenn Girls
void in the fifth.
Congressman Arthur H. Green
wood, the house whip, is slated for
an easy victory in the Seventh dis
trict over young opponent named
Gerald Lands.
Larabee, Ludlow FavOrites
Charles Werner is not likely to
defeat Congressman John w.
Boehne Jr., in the Eighth district.
Congressman Eugene B. Grove has
defeated Chester Davis before and
is expected to repeat the perform
ance.
DR.. William H. Larrabee, Eleventh
district congressman, is a favorite
over Ralph Scott, as Congressman
Louis Ludlow is over Delbert Will
meth in the Twelfth district.
But many things might happen
between now and November and the
Republicans may come to the
Seventy-fourth congress with more
than four seats.

ing. The spirit of these strikers is
so high, and they are so full of en-
thusiasm, that it makes old man
Sanders remark that he is going to
take all the strikers for a Ride"
There are, however, a few scabs,
or rats, left in the mill, and Enoch
Mailman is one of them. Today he
threatened to kill his wife and
daughter if they didn't go to work.
In other words, he forced them to
scab in order to keep his job. His
wife, however, cried like baby be-
cause she was forced at the point
of death to scab on her fellow
workers. Gladys Vaughn, a scab
stenographer, thinks that the work
ers should be satisfied with the
starvation wages they are getting.
This morning she poked her rstty
nose out of the Office and called
the strikers sons-of bitches.
In spite of all this, the workers
are glad that the strike has been
called and now with the rank and
file leadership that they have, they
are pretty sure to win something
out of the struggle.
Following are the demands they
are striking for: Cd Against speed

Tied Up All Day in
Penn Yards Waiting
for a Possible Job
BY R. R. Worker Correspondent

By r. r. Worker Correspondent
LONG ISLAND CITY, N. V
The commissary in the Penn r. r,
Yards in Sunnyside is so bad that
a worker walking in there never
feels safe. The other day pipe
fell on man sitting there and hurt
him. They took him away and we
haven't seen him again. Besides
that, the air is close because 5here
are lot OF men sitting around. We
sit around all day waiting to be
called, and if we get hungry, we
don't dare leave because we may
lose our turn.
They take fourth cooks, who are
on the payrolls as fourth cooks,
getting fourth cooks wages, and
use them as countermen, truckmen.
and porterS. This means that while
they should be getting a salary as
truckman, or counterman, which
is from STA to $98, they are getting
the fourth cook salary which is $40.
NOTE: The men should de-
mand their pay according to their
regular classification and not per-
NIT the Penn to reduce them in
this fashion. Furthermore, the
men should join the Brotherhood
OF Dining Car Employees. Its
membership Is growing and the
new members expect action. not

acute, because of the mtendhcation
of the terror.
The method used today is this:
When a leading functionary Of a
district or section wants to find out
whether there are promising forces
among the membership in his par
ticular district or section he issues
a long QUESTIONABLE and by this
method determines the background,
the political maturity Of the parr
ticular comrade to be placed in
leadership It often happens THAI
not even a QUESTIONABLE is issued,
but one is given function without
going into his social background
and as a result of such inadequate
methods We often find that comrade
placed in positions, or functions,
which they cannot fulfill.
Particularly at this time must we
remember that as the terror in
creases, the keeping of files and the
use of missionaries will be mors
difficult, if not impossible. There's
fore, Party leaders, district, section,
trade unions and mass organi2a-
lions, particularly section and dis
trict, must make q thorough study
of their actives by heart. In other
words, as they come in contact with
hundreds of activeS during tbs
course of their activity, they must
make 1t their task to know at least
100 actives not by sight or name
only, but their political develop
ment, social background, family
conditions, characteristics, etc. This
does not imply that one must tech
nically memorize these facts, but
must have thorough acquaintance
with the work and life Of the func-
tionaries.
During the period Of illegslity, II
will be absolutely essential to ex-
change functionaries from one dis
trict to another, or sending COM
rades from one part of the city to
another. This can only be carried
out successfully if the leaders of the
particular district and section are
well acquainted with the function
aries and actives of their sections.
Emphasis must be laid on the
study for more forces by section
functionaries, since reserve forces
must at all times come from the
lower units of the Party. The sys-
tematic working out of q method
whereby new Party comrades who
are singled out should be attached
to leading comrades, committees
such as section committees, Org.
Department., agit-prop, membership
committee, should be worked out
where one comrade of the particular
committee is entrusted with the
care and training of the comrade.
Only in such way can We efficiently
train more forces with the best re-
suits.

Axtell Attacks U.S.S.R.
Because 1t Is Ruled
by Ignorant Workers
BY a Worker Correspondent

VI HNA
MOBILE, Ala.-Last night, Axtell,
from the International Seamen's
Union q. S. u, spoke at a meeting
Of seamen. 1t is significant to note
that this meeting was to have been
held at the court house steps, which
most of the seamen and a lot of
Negro longshoremen thought would
be in the open. However, it was
held inside of the court house.
Evidently this phoney knew of the
militancy of these Negro longshore-
men and therefore preferred to
have a jim-crow meeting where
there would not be much opposi-
ton, because the city judge and two
or three other lackeys we're there.

After having knocked the M. w.
1. U. and the rank and file COM
mittee in the West Coast strike, call
ing this kind of action "un-Amer-
lcan," Axtell paused for a few min
utes and asked the Seamen if they
knew what kind of union thew
should have. When he said this
ABOUT six or seven seamen an
sWered that only revolutionary or
ganizations could get anything for
the workers.
Axtell's attacks againt the Soviet
Union were such obvious lies that
a lot of the seamen got I'D and
left the meeting. The following
are some of his statements. THAT
Russia could not succeed because
1t placed the leadership of the coun-
try in the hands of ignorant
workers" THAT Russian Socialism
was modified Capitalism THAT
we were all capitalists, and here
we have freedom of press" ETC., etc.

Marine Workers Voice with the real
details Of the West Coast strike.

Strike Vote
BY a Worker Correspondent

EAST ST. LOUIS, Ill.-The work
erS on the M, & o. feel the teeth
Of the R. R. mediation board. For
over two years grievances have been
piling up until they now number
we'll over 1000. This road, now in
the hands of the receivers, is IA
nous for its rs per cent pay cut
two years ago. AS per the deci-
SionS of the Federal Board for the
return of the 10 per cent, the M.
and o. returned 5 per cent to the
men and then stated that they
would be unable to make any fur
ther wage adjustments. They raised
the flimSy excuse that they were
hardly making expenses now" in
spite of the fact that car loading
has increased and the roads are
paying off extras to the coupon
clippers"
The officialdom of the lodges and
crafts on the road was forced
through the rising sentiment for
strike to issue strike ballots. calling
on the men to authorize the call
ing of a strike in case an agree
ment could not be reached.
The strike vote carried almost
unanimously. This correspondent in
interviewing the men in the M, g.
o. shops and freight houses found
shat very few of the men had any
faith in the officialdom to take ac-
ton. Most of the workers stated
that this was just a move" on
the part of the Officials so as to
drag out the argument
The r. R. Unity Movement of E.
st. Louis and st. Louis is issuing
leaflet to all R. r. men giving
them the experience of this latest
sellout by the R. R. labor leaders"
1t is calling upon the men to defeat
these sellout artists. 1t calls upon
the M. & o. men to take imme-
date steps to prepare for strike
during the so-called negotiations"
now taking place. It calls upon the
workers to call joint meeting of
all lodges and crafts to elect a
broad rank and file strike commit
tee to be empowered to make all
strike preparations and to handle
all negotiations; to send delegations
to all R. R. lodges in st. Louis and
E. st. Louis to popularize the pend
ing action and call for support. It
calls upon the NJ. and o. men to
stand solid for the demands of: 20
per cent or strike; against the COM
pulsory arbitration and the Watson
Parker law; no settlement to be
made without the ratification of all
unions and lodges involved. The
Railroad Unity Committee invites
all R. R. men in the E. st. Louis
and st. Louis territory to commu-
nicate with them at COL S. Fourth

the pituitary body. When one of
these two is not funcbioning prop
erly, menstruation will be abnormal
When the hormones are diminished,
menstruation will be scanty or alb
sent. When these glands produce
too much hormone the bleeding
will be excessive, Underdevelop-

to some disorder in one of these
glands.
At the present stage Of our medi-
cal knowledge, very little can be
done for the underfunctioning Of
these glands, although many doc
tors claim good results by giving
injections Of the extracts of these
organs. II is the consensus of
opinion of the best medical au-
thoritieS that these extracts are
not Of much value.
At present We know of no medi-
cine that will cause permanent in
crease in the size of the breasts.
1t is an established fact that the
breasts grow larger during preg-
nancy, however. 1t is possible that
that is your solution. On the other
hand, childbearing may be entirely
out Of the question for you at this

Attack on Conditions of White Workers Always
Follows Attack on Negro Workers

But make no mistake, through
these last four years the white
workers have been getting it dirty
too. They have been laid off, driven
to do much more and harder work
than before, their wages and work
ing rules have been slashed right
and left. And the funny thing
about it is-weH, perhaps it's more
sad than funny for both Of US,
black and white foiszs-that the at
tack on the whites always follows
like clock the beating down of
our conditions. We Negroes always
come first-bUt we can always be
sure that the white workers will get
it next.
There Is another grievance now
that's bothering most. of us and
that is the latest pension act. We
all have to pay our two per cent,
and we don't know, many of u.s.
whether we will ever get any bene-
fits. First you must work over 30
years on the job and be way near
dead before you get the pension
and secondly, there is nothing
written in the act that wiz compel
the boss to keep us that long. So
we might pay this per cent for
years and not get lick,
What 1 would like to know is
why can't our greedy rich bosses
and their government pay 1t all
why shouldn't they be responsible
for the security of our old age after
they have taken the flesh from our
bones and sucked our blood clean
dry-bOth black and white?
One thing more. Our union Off
Gals who are well paid by us, don't
give a care, 1t seems. Our jim Grow
M. & w. Lodge doesn't even know
Of the conditions and grievances.
We don't have the protection of
our union even though we pay dues.
The black and white M. 81 w.
lodges here and all the Railroad
Brotherhoods are in the hands of
few people who years ago have be-
come great servants of the bosses
and painful boils on our necks. It's
time we began to buy and read the
Daily Worker, and begin thinking
for ourselves. Black and white la
Dor organized, strong and united In
the common bonds of toll, can put
an end to these conditions.

With the continuation of the cri-
sis, the militancy of the workers in
their fight for immediate demands is
growing. AS a result of this, the ter
ror against the workers and particu-
larly against its militant leadership
is assuming many manifestations of
open fascist character as evidenced
in the recent struggles in Minneap-
oils, San Francisco and so forth.
More than ever before the Party

Ex-Housewife Writes from Moscow
BY HELEN LUX

A comrade spending few day
at Camp Wingdale sends us a copy
of portions Of letter she had from
friend now in the Soviet Union,
with this comment: This comrade
was a housewife when she lived in
the U.S.A. Now she is working for
the State Publishing Company as a
translator, and at the same time
goes to school" The former house
wife writes:
Dear -
"You must wonder why I don't
write to you and yet you must know
that only the most urgent tasks keep
me from writing. I have always
been active, but the way I am kept
busy now cannot be compared to my
activities in the states. come home
at ten in the evening and then 7
have to do some work yet. I do not
complain. 1t is the sort of work and
activity that keep me in state Of
elation, nothing less. Let me tell
you about it.
School closed on June 20. From
the first of June until the Goth, we
took exams before the school COM
mission, the result of which is ma
turally sent to the Party Nucleus of
Work. This is how school and work
are connected in the Soviet Union.
I got ten days off from work during
examinations with pay of course).
Our group finished brilliantly Out
of IA students, II were made "Udar-
niks" (Shock Brigaders). I am one
of them, too, so you don't have to be
ashamed of me!
I'VE have, at our work, so-called
Polit-days' at which a report is
given on the existing situation, both
abroad and in the country Discus
sion follows from the floor. I was
assigned by the Party to give a re-
port on the International Situation,
lin Russian, mind you. 1t was the
hardest task had to carry out.
Yesterday we were modified by
the District Committee to go to diff
ferent factories and give reports, etc.
I was assigned to the Red Metal
ist.' Let me tell you that there is
where you come face to face with
life. construction and workers. There
you felt the joy of construction! I
was taken through all departments
and each department tried to show
me its wallpaper, its lists and pic
lures of 'Udarniks, its clean
benches, etc. The machinists are the
ones who do the strutting. Every
one looks up to the worker who can
handle a difficult piece of machin-
cry. They are 'Udarniks' in most
cases"

MOBILE, Ala.-The Cotton Mill
Products Co., Mill No. 5, employing
about $50 workers, is out nearly
solid on strike. This is one of the
cotton mills, about the worst in the
country, where you can find the
most Speed-up, and stretch-out,
and the lowest wages. In this mill
the workers organized a union a
few months ago, but because old
man j. G.. Sanders, the superin-
tendent, would park his car in
front of the place where the work.
ers were having their meetings he
was able in this way to see all
those who went to the meeting and
Immediately fired them.
Not only did he watch them him
self, but most of the workers seem
to think that he has some paid
pimps to go sniping around the
workers houses, and 1t has been
known that some of these snipers
even crawled under the house. like
snakes, to listen in on the meeting.
AS result of these snipers, several
workers have been fired in the last
few weeks for being members of
the union, or even talking about
joining the union. They say it is
different now, that they are on
strike, and they don't have to be
afraid to be fired for joining the
union, and, believe me, all of them
are talking union and are taking a
hand in building it up again.
Yesterday at a mass meeting the
workers declared their willingness
to go on strike, and immediately
elected a rank and file strike com
mittee of 9 members to do all the
negotiating with the mill owner. At
this open air meeting the strikers
sang such revolutionary songs as
Solidarity, on the Picket Line. and
the Soup Song.
After a mass meeting this morn
ing all the strikers went down to
the mill to do picket duty. There
they saw such Scabs as Red Kent,
who is the second hand in the
weave room and others of his kind
toting guns, and ever the superin-
tendent himself, old man j. G..
Sanders, was parading all over the
mill village, giving strikers eviction
notice, and, of course, he had his
gun, too. But the strikers say they
will not move.
The superintendent and a couple
of his henchmen was on Top of the
mill this morning with field glasses
looking at the workers gathered
around a speaker at a mass meet
