NEW YORK-While unemployed I
have frequently gone to Union
Square and there picked up copies
of your paper, the Daily Worker.
1t seemed to be very fearless in
exposing graft and corruption.
On April l I registered at the
Municipal Lodging House and there
1 noticed how systematic graft is
being carried on and how it works.
They gave me ticket on Thurs
day, April 5, for the Glenmore Hotel,
4 Chatham Square. The ticket is
a requisition for seven nights lodg-
ing. When I applied for my last
and seventh night at the hotel, they
told me my seventh night was up
already. I talked with many of
the workers and they told me that
they had experienced the same
thing.
They all agreed it was a system
Of graft whereby through the con-
nivance of the Central Registration
Bureau and the lodging house, the
houses steal one night out of seven.
1 reported this to one of the regis
trars at South Ferry and he smiled
and said, 1T is mistake all you
guys make
They send us to lodging houses
on the Bowery, and for each meal
we must walk to South Ferry. BY

WE APPRECIATE YOUR
INTEREST
Detroit, Mich,

Dear Sir:
Please find enclosed 81 to help
in the new press drive. I certainly
do like the Daily Worker, with spe-
cial emphasis on Michael Colds
column, the Editorials, and the bril-
liant analysis of the world situation
to be found in the reports of the
Communist conferences and Plen-
ums.
1t keeps one abreast of the times;
and what stirring times these are!
More than that, the Daily Worker
enables one to help others under
stand the tremendous events which
are transpiring all around the world
today, their cause, and probable
outcome; and there is no doubt
about the fact that people today
are taking interest in political eco
nomic matters, whose minds never
rose above an interest in baseball,
boxing or betting.
The great job of getting that in
terest guided into the right chan
nels, and it sometimes seems like
a tough JOB, with the enemy con-
trolling practically every avenue of
communication, but where the or
binary newspaper is glanced over
and sent down to the basement,
papers like ~ Worker" are avidly

read, passed on, read and passed on
again, and everyone who works and
suffers can recognize in it accounts
of the same bitter problems as
harass his or her own life, with the
result that the influence of the
paper steadily spreads, due to the
fact, I suppose, that it is easier to
convince a person that a spade is
spade, and not an automobile.
I guess that is the psychological
reason behind the steady growth of
world revolt, something that grows
out of the instinct of self-preserva-
ton, added to an awakening sense
of outraged justice, which awaken
ing can be credited in large part to.
the courageous men and women like
yourself and staff, all over the world
and through the ages, who have
constantly opposed wrongdoing. I
will close now with warmest frater-
nal greetings.

43C. an Hour for
Engine Watcher on
New Haven Road
Rank and File Mus
Prepare Struggle
At Elections

BY Railroad Worker Correspondent
BRONX. N. YIN the New Ha-
ven Railroad Van Nest shops a
question was asked by a worker.
who and what is the Railroad
Brotherhoods Unity Movements"
The R. r. Unity Movement was
born in struggle originated by
group of engineers in Chicago,
members of the Brotherhood of Lo-
connective Engineers, to organize the
rank and file after the sell-out and
betrayal of the workers by Whit
ney and the other misleaders of the
81 standard railway unions in their
acceptance Of the 10 per cent wage
cut without the sanction of the
workers or a vote being taken on
such.
United action of all railroad
workers, organized and uncrganized.
under rank and file leadership, will
force the bosses to return the 10
per cent wage cut, also a CORE
spending increase to offset the ris-
ing living costs, and get for the
common laborer a $25 a week wage.
An engine watcher cleans and
starts new fires and keeps up steam
on a locomotive, 2G5 pounds of
steam, is rated as a common laborer
and paid 43 cents an hour less 10
per cent. This worker has 25 to 80
locomotives to keep up steam and
water in the boiler for eight hours.
The most exploited of any are the
railroad workers, engine and car
cleaners and wiperS. clerks, freight
handlers, maintenance Of way men,
laborers, porters. pullman and sta
ton workers, all working on the
starvation coolie basic rate of wage
workers making up the majority of
employees but who are completely
forgotten when wages are discussed.
Beyond the maintenance of wav
men, the bulk of these workers were
LETT unorgsnized and left to shift
for themselves by the Il standard
unions. Not even the company
union committee would have any,
thing to do with these workers. The
WAGES Of these workers rate from
36 to SIS a week-the blessings of
the N.R.A.
A general election will be held
this coming June for the election of
all officers in the Mechanical De-
partments Association, Of the New
HaVan Railroad. The MDA. is a
company union supported by the
workers and dominated by the
bosses. Steps must be taken to put
forward the rank and file leaders
and make the Mia. an instrument

Rail ROundhOuSe
In Portland, Me-,
Full of Smoke
Lack of Organizations
Exposes Workers to
Constant Layoffs
By a Worker CORRESPONDENT

PORTLAND, Met is only q
few years ago when the Portland
railroad shop called Rigby was full
Of life. There are only about rs
men working at present, and even
these are afraid to be fired every
day. Men are being laid off every
week.
There is not a trace of santa
ton. The roundhouse, a costly
building, is so dark and full of
smoke that one can hardly find
his way through. In winter, when
the steam and the smoke block your
way, one must feel the wall with
his hand to reach his destination.
A few weeks ago, the company Or
dered the men to wear special
glasses, for ssfety's sake. In reality
these goggles distort your vision,
you cannot look sideways. Espe-
cially, using a heavy hammer, you
can hardly see where you hit. When
a few men complained about the
goggles, they were told that I'M
less they wore the glasses they
would have to quit.
The blacksimth's shop at the
same shop, Rigby, is made of tin
and looks like a tin box full of
smoke. The noise is simply nerve
Wracking. The other day one of
the belts fell down and almost killed
woman. 1t is hot in the sum-
mer like an oven and in winter it
is cold as an ice-box
Since the last lay-off, they started
to speed the men up. The men
used to quit at a quarter to three
to pack their tools away. Notices
were posted: Any man quitting be-
fore three will lose his job.
The place is full of grievances
but it is hard to get the men or
ganized. They are bitter against the
A. F. Of L. and the Railroad Bro
therhoods; they cannot forget the
sellout of 1882. In 1928 the A. F.
of L. attempted to get this place
organized, but the company with
the help of the company unon,
drove the A. F. of L. out by giving
the men an increase of S cents an
hour and the workers were fooled.
The company union consists of
six men, all officials, but at the
same time the workers just wouldn't
join the Brotherhood's union, which
sra rtpJ on Orno ,1i1o+i0r,o1 J~;,-o
lately. There's no special organizer
here to work among the men. The
organizer who arrives from Bos-
ton to attend a meeting once in
great while is just another job
holder, and the drive is coming
slowly.
Only last week, 1872 men were laid
off at Waterwill, Me, another Rigby
shop. More lay-offs are expected
and there is no organization to fight
against them.

A LIBERAL VIEWPOINT
Portland. Ore

Portland, Ore.
Enclosed you will find a picture
of a home of which there are hun
dreds here in Oregon and shows
plainly where rugged individualism
leads to.
Now yesterday the liberal Maurice
Hindus was speaking in the Audi
forum here in Portland, on the
subject Of Hitler and Stain. Of
course, he came out with the same
stale old story that there was no.
body in his audience who was not
eating better or wore better clothes
and was living in better homes, then
the best Russian workers. 1t was
obvious that he was not speaking
for the workers because he ap-
pealed that those in his audience
who spend part of their vacations
in Russia or Germany would agree
with him.
He used the same old gag of be-
ing in a hurry to catch the train
SO that nobody could ask any en-
barrassing questions. 1t takes time
but people are getting wise to such
fake liberals.
Yours truly,
A WORKER.

factors of the environment have a
lot to do with the hesitant speech
of the stammerer. We have known
many children who stutter more in
the classroom than at play; others
have more difficulty at home than
at school. We have also observed
adults whose speech is relatively
smooth at all times, except when
they telephone or have to ask for
some information. There are some
adult sufferers who show their
handicap when they speak to their
bosses or to somebody in authority
over them; but exhibit no trace of
suffering when speaking to either
children or to anybody over whom
they have a feeling of superiority
Many children begin to stutter as
means of holding the attention of
their mothers or nurses or to OBJ
tain privileges or delicacies which
would not be forthcoming otherwise.
Sometimes a nervous, sarcastic or
irascible teacher or parent will cause
a child to begin to stutter. Acct
dents, severe seedlings, jealousy of
the newly arrived baby, have often
been the starting point for lifelong
suffering.
Sometimes children initiate stam-
merers and when the parents are
foolish enough to encourage them
in their "cuteness," they contract
a lifelong handicap which they are
unable to overcome in spite of their
wish to do so.

union meetings with him, helped
him in the work; offered him sug-
gestions, helped him write leaf
let and letters. I analysed the meet
ing with him, showed him the
weaknesses and explained how a
Party fraction could overcome them.
The second week went along
much the same, except that I told
him at that time, in view of the
situation, I thought he could for
the time being, carry on the work
without joining the Party-although
I explained it would be much bet
ter if he did. We drew several
other comrades into the activities of
the union and things began to pick
up. One day I gave him an ap-
plication card. A few days later,
he turned it in with his initiation
fee. We had convinced him not
with talk, but with action.
An important point in recruiting
is to place responsibility upon the
worker himself. A cement worker,
who had been an agricultural work.
er, came to the Party and told us
that the agricultural workers in his
vicinity were ready for organization.
Being familiar with the situation,
showed him that our Party had
no unit in his town, but units in
two other towns nearby. Then I
proposed that he join the Party,
and take the responsibility of or
ganizing the workers himself by
building up a fraction in his town
and working with the other two
units near by. This plan appealed
to him and he joined. This same
line has proved effective in reruit-
ing the fishermen. I pointed out
to them that only fishermen can
effectively organize fishermen; and
since they are class conscious and
interested, the responsibility lies be-
tween them and the Party. They
recognize that responsibility. A
worker likes to shoulder responsible
ity, to be a leader. If you point
out to him that joining the Party
means simply that, he will under
stand what that means and will
join.
In the course of recruiting, very
seldom do I use the word IT." 1t
is more effective to say THE Com
munist Party believes, says, does,
etc."
In recruiting, it is most important
to listen to everything the worker
says. In most cases, he will on his
own initiative, recruit himself into
the Party BY this, I mean that
we must not try to tell the worker
what he should do or must do. First
I find out what he thinks the Party
must do; then I show him how he
can help to do it. One time, asked
a worker what he thought of the
Party. He said, sit talks too much.
I want action" This gave me an
opportunity to go into our program.
Finally, asked him to join. He
said Wen talk it over some other
time" Then I bluntly told him
1.-THE Communist Party believes in
action, not talk"
Most of our comrades who try to
recruit talk too much.

Telegraph Bosses Try to
Put Over Co. Union
By Western Union CORRESPONDENT

BY Western Union Correspondent
In an effort to break up the grow
ing Telegraph Messengers Union.
the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany is herding all Of the messengers
into the Association of Western
Union Employees which is a COM
pany union. This decision was
reached by the company after they
saw that all of the New York mes
sengers were flocking into the T. NJ.
U. and were determined to build it
up into a powerful union. In the
hope that they will be able to stifle
the messengers once they are in this
company union which has never
done anything for any of the work.
ers, the w. U. company is sending
officials around to sign up all the
boys. The boys have shown what
they think of this by refusing to
join the A. w U. E. and by coming
down to the Telegraph Messengers
Union in ever greater numbers.
Another way that the w. U. is
trying to break up the messengers
union is by suddenly arranging
swimming meets, hikes and baseball
games for the messengers, so they
will forget their miserable condi-
tions.
The Western Union Telegraph Co.
may think that they've been pretty
wise in these two moves but thew
underestimate the intelligence and
militancy of the messengers. It
Will take much more than this to
squelch their struggle for decent
conditions.

that the Communists are putting
out in our shop.
1t appeared for the first time

everybody's mouth all day. And,
let me tell you, Otto, the rat,
isn't wearing his horn trimmed
glasses any more. The rest of
the stool pigeons there also
watch their step.
You've got to hand it to the
Communists! And don't think
the blood-sucking bosses aren't
trying to grind more profit out
of us. Many workers have been
laid off on each Monday and are
rushed the rest of the week to
put out the same work.
I'll be writing you from time
to time about conditions in this
