Removing Tonsils
NOMRADE M. H. R. of Hartford,
" Conn. writes;-'I have had in
bedded tonsils for five years that
don't trouble me at all. Some doc
tors have told me to have them re-
moved, and others have told me
that as long as they don't bother
me to let them stay in. What is the
best thing to do under the cir
cumstances. I would like to know
Just how the throat looks when
one has laryngitis."
Our Reply
WE believe that the tonsils are an
" important link in the chain of
throat protection. They protect the
throat and also the bronchial tube
and lungs from invading germs. In
the light of the above theory and,
in so far as your tonsils do not
trouble you. We see no reason why
you should have them removed.
However, We advocate the removal
of those tonsils that are infected.
that are irregular in contour, and
are diseased; particularly those
tonsils that are troublesome and
produce repeated sore throats.
In laryngitis the throat is red and
infiamed and the vocal cords are
red and swollen. There Is hoarse-
ness and speech is diff1cult.

it has been a shock to lis to realize
how that beastly demagogue is rop-
ing them in almost wholesale. His
attitude on war is even more
brazenly put in the World Telegram

against war but let's be practical.

LOWELL. Mass.-Previous to the
vote taken in Lowell at the Chelms-
ford Shoe Co. to decide whether the
workers in that shop wanted the
United Shoe and Leather Workers
Union or the Lowell Shoe Workers
Independent company Union to
represent them in collective bar
gaining, the Independent Union
had managed to sign an agreement
with the United Wood Heel Com
pany here in Lowell.
Fortified with this entrenchmsnt,
the rats, Mickey Mouse" Dempsey
and the Sultan Of Suffolk St, 50
Charlie Georges, widely proclaimed
that they would have all the Lowell
shoe workers under their banner
in no time.
However. when the Chelmsford
Shoe crew voted for the United
Shoe and Leather workers Union.
the chagrin Of Mickey Mouse" and
the Sultan" was boundless. But
that isne all, imagine how these
rats felt when a few days later the
crew of the United Wood Heel
Company threw out the agreement
with the Independent Union and
forced a U. S. & L. w. U. agreement
to be signed in this factory.
This was victory number two
gained by the United Shoe and
Leather Workers Union.
AS far as the Chelmsford Shoe is
concerned. that shop is still operat-
ing without an agreement Of any
kind. The blame for this rests on
the shoulders of the Joint Council
who will not call the crew on strike
to force the owner Of this fsctorv
to sign a contract with the United
Shoe and Leather Workers Union
This is the kind of leadership we
shoe workers in Lowell have at
present.

Florida Adopts
ExpulsionPlan.
For Transients
By a Worker Correspondent

ny . HVthCI
JACKSONVILLE, Fqa.-Consider-
able has been printed in the press
recently about the deportation by
go-slavia of $1,000 Hungarians,
between which two countries war
appears impending. Not much has
been said about the deportation
daily of hundreds of U. S. citizens
by one state to another in this
country, wherein state of war has
not yet been declared nor threat
ened between such states.
About Thanksgiving Day of this
year, the State of Florida, requiring
a large amount of improved high
way and county road construction
to be done-and the thousands of
multi-millionaire, New York State
tax evaders who several years ago
established their legal residence in
the income-tax-free State of Florida
for the purpose of evasion, being too
poor to pay for this work in cash
the State let it be known through
the media of Associated Press and
United Press, that henceforth tran
sients" without funds or visible
means of support would no longer
be thrown into the chain-gang road
building camps wherever inter-
cepted, but would, on the contrary,
be given their choice between the
chain-gang and work for the Fed
eral Emergency Relief Agency at
the U. S. uniform standard wage of
30 cents week cash and three
squares a day and place to flop.
in exchange for 80 hours labor per
week.
AS anticipated, this widespread
publicity brought about desired re-
suits. But it came quicker than
conceived by its sponsors. Within
ten days the state was flooded with
thousands of hungry and discour-
aged applicants for these jobs at a
3 cents per hour wage. In despera-
ton, the humane governor, Scholtz,
of this great state, which at as late
a date as 1882 fashioned a 20-pound
iron ball attached to a log-chain or
else siXteen-inchlong pickaxe
shackle welded to the ankles of its
freighttrain riding convicted pris-
oners, and which locked them in
iron-barred lion cages at night in
those mosquito infested swamps-
this humane governor was COM
PEELED to broadcast to the nation
that already more than eleven
thousand had responded to the calf;
that the state cannot handle any
more" transients, and at the same
time appealed to the Governor of
Georgia to help in the noble work
of preventing the disappointment"
that must inevitably ensue to per-
sons now enroute to this Utopia
unless intercepted and turned back
at the northern borders of the State
OF Georgia.
The Governor of Georgia is al
ready seriously considering the
problem, and the newspapers are
practically unit in endorsing it,
No more are the transient wayfarers
taken before "the squire" and 80 or
60-day sentences imposed willy
nilly, but they are now hustled into
trucks and hauled by the dozens to
state lines and told to stay out Of

conviction. The Law" is much in
evidence at state line highway
points and county road entrances,

Lowell Shoe Workers Cain Victory Over Company Union
EIevatOrUniOn
Chiefs Attack
Militant Action
By a Worker CORRESPONDENT


NEW YORK. 49, The remarkable
militancy of building employees,
which won the admiration and sup
port Of the entire garment center
during their brief strike in Novem-
Der, is Systematically sabotaged by
the officials of Local BIB, section Of
the American Federation of Labor.
To paralyze all calls of militancy,
these leaders resort to extolling "the
virtue of patience" and uttering
grave admonitions against paying
heed to Communists, who love to
create violence" at the behest Of
bosses 5000 miles away"
Grumblings of unrest, or dissatis-
faction with the entire arbitration
procedure, sweep through Local
S2-B. Growing into open denounce-
ments and increasing in volume,
this wave Of dissatisfaction threat
ems to overwhelm the officials. And
so, patient Griselda together with
the favorite red scare" are intro
duced.
'Patiencel You must have pa
tience!" cried the secretary of the
union at meeting on Dec. 10, at
200 West 135th Street. Then, with
typical A. F. of L. philosophy, he
explained that nothing built quick
ly is ever built well"; and that the
act of waiting in expectancy en-
hances the enjoyment of benefits,
whatever they'll be-"
we stand for gradual increase.
We don't expect to get everything,
or very much, now. But year after
year, as soon as the contract is up,
we'll demand some more. We must
climb the ladder, rung after rung.
And I'm speaking 10 you new mem
bers, especially, who are always
talking about actionl"
That is the demagogic sponge he
is employing to absorb the militancy
of the members, and at the same
time he is deity effacing the illu-
sion for getting square deal"
from the Arbitration Board. Craft
lily ne is preparing them Tor dlsap-
pointment. Already he confesses
that not much will be won. But
yet, he bids them be content. Little
by little, rung after rung. year after
year, is his message to them in the
face of living conditions, food prices
and rent rates that leap, day after
day hour after hour, and with tax
after tax.
But the secretary is a radical.
1--WE are radicals" he declared.
But there are sane radicals and
insane radicals. Don't listen to sup
posed friends who try to tell us how
to run this union. All they want to
do is create violence-they love vio-
lence. They are not your friends.
They are working for boss; boss
1000 miles away They don't want
to win strike; what they want is
revolution. What they want is to
have you call them Commissar."

Nickel Itch

y" Nickel Itch" or nickel eczema
is very common in nickel plating
plants. The actual plating solution
has nickel-sulphate. nickel chloride,
sodium chloride and boric acid. The
rash appears first on the workers
arms and unless he is quickly taken
away from work in the plating
room, it will spread over his entire
body. After the first attack the
worker is very liable to second one
unless his occupation is changed.
The second attack is usually more
difficult to cure.
AS a rule, the victims suffer Itch
ing, soreness and burning and
sometimes swellings A large per-
centage Of workers in 1ickel-plating
shops suffer from nickel eczema.
Medical research in this field Is GER
tainly needed in order to provide
protection to those who must work
in such places. To provide adequate
medical care and medical research
requires an investment Of money by
the big industrialists and, as we
have said before, these gentlemen
find it much cheaper to fire sick
workers and hire new, fresh victims.
They will continue such policy
until the workers organize and stop
them.
We would suggest that your
brother apply calamine lotion to all
the itchy parts. He can buy this
at any drugstore.

Most doctors and nurses in hospitals
are kindly human beings. often
they especially nurses are tired,
overworked, underpaid and badly
fed which may account for their

physical incapacity he will be more

Berlin, April 30.-(UP) Mad
Germany, taking over the COM
munist Labor day, will make May
day one or celebrations of the
''third Reich" marking 1t with one
of the most important innovations
Of the Hitler regime-the new la
Dor law.
It is one which makes Navidom
the dictator to labor and industry,
and is expected to bring at once
a drive by employers for wage cuts
and the despairing effort of lower
paid workers to win increases.
Under the new law, workers and
employers will be obliged to adhere
to compulsory unions organized on
the leadership principle" That is
to say, the heads Of these unions
are leaders appointed by the gov
eminent.
Every branch Of industry will
have its own "leader." The heads
of individual concerns will also be
''leader.s'' Wages will have to be
fixed by each concern according to
it's capacity to pay.
