A Sensible Letter

MY dear DR.. Luttinger:
IT wonder whether you would care
to print in your column the expert
ence of one who, despite the removal
Of tonsils and adenoids and an oper-
alton on deviated Septum, is sus-
ceptible to frequent colds. Your
article in the Daily Worker on
mouth antiseptics is the cause for
my writing this letter.
IT have found that gargling with
Dobell's solution as soon as the first
symptoms of a sore throat appear
produces almost certain relief. make
up my own solution by dissolving
two grams of sodium bicarbonate,
two grams of borax and one gram
of phenol (carbolic acid in one liter
of water Slightly over one quartz
This solution Is, I believe, about
twice the customary strength. but /
find 1t quite effective and non-ir-
ritating. To those who would wish
to make their own (Which I recon-
mend one gram of either bicar-
Donate or borax is about that quaint
ity which can be piled up on a dime
(some of us still have a dime. To
measure the carbolic acid is a little
more difficult. Phenol is usually
purchased in drug store either as a
5 per cent or as an SO per cent
solution. One gram of paenol is con-
tanned in about 2 q of fluid ounce

drops of the 8S per cent solution

ton makes fairly good mouth
wash too. 1t is rather inexpensive
if homemade. I know that it is not
particularly germicidal but it taste;
good and is not extremely toxic

most of the commercial mouth
washes.

the Soviet UniOnl


AUTOSTRoY. Cork, Q. s. S. r.
I am very much occupied but it's no
excuse for not answering an old Ford
shopmate
No doubt you would like to hear
how we workers fare here. We work
seven hours a day, five days week
and rest on tie sixth. We do not
lose any wages for being sick whether
It is one day or one year. We get
from two to four weeks vacation a
year with full pay. Many OF us
Americans got three weeks Trip
down the Volga, with the best OF
food and entertainment without cost
ing us one cent,
7 never enjoyed such a vacation in
my life before. Last March / spent
two weeks in the hospital for a
neglected operation. got all hospi-
talization free, and my wages went
on Just the same.
We are assured Of stead job as
long as we live, with each year con-
ditions getting better In the U.S.A.
they saw that under Socialism 1ndl-
vidual incentive will be abolished
and society will retrogresS. want
to ask one Question Of these gentle
men of the q. S. A., which is retro
crossing now, the countries Of capt.
talism or the Soviet Union?
We are gradually pulling ourselves
out Of the mud It is a difficult job
but Bo1sheviks are capable of any
thing humanity possible. If the
American workers realized the great
difficulties and hardships that the
Russian workers are going through
to industrialize their country, they
would admire them as the greatest
people in history. and they do il
without complaining, and full Of en-
thusiasm and hope.
You can explain to your skeptica
friends that we have an auto PLAN
here covering as big an area as the
Ford River Rouge plant, and the
buildings are as long if not longer
but only a single story high. Somt
buildings have balcony.
This plant is situated near the
Okla River, about Is miles from Cork
right in the wilds with no roads, pool
railroad and water transportation
I remember the good days before the
crisis, Ford had difficulties in get
ting good men to work at River
Rouge because it was too far from
Detroit and there we're no con-
yeniences. We will grow quicker
than Dearborn as we get on our feet
During the past year since I have
been here I have seen great changes
for the better. The workers are be-
coming more skilled, the material il
COMING in more regularly, the trans.
portation is getting better. we have
now an electric line to Cork. the
roads are being built, various food.
stuffs are becoming more plentiful
and in general everything is i'm
proving.
Never in history has so much in

Mccormick Plant
RObS Workers of
10 pc. for Night Job
(By Metal Worker Correspondent


CHICAGO, Ill.-A large number Of
night workers in Department No. q
in Mccormick Works receive no extra
pay. According to the rules Of the
International Harvester every worker
working nights is supposed to re-
ceive 10 per cent more for night
work.
Workers in Department No. q do
not get this 10 FER cent because the
foreman. Mr.. Hickey, the slave
driver Of the department, does not
send in their time, as he is supposed
to, according to the rules.
IN the morning when he comes
down to work he starts hollering at
the workers and keeps it up until
quitting time, so that by the time
the day is over Mr.. Hickey's voice is
hoarse from hollering.
The workers working on the night
shift in this department should get
together and demand that they get
their 10 per cent which is due them.
The best thing to do is to elect two
or three fellows from the depart
ment to go to the boss and see that
in the next pay the 10 per cent is
added, or a petition should be gotten
out which all the workers should sign
and send into the Mccormick Works
Council and force action at once.
The workers in Department q
should organize into militant union
and then they can make Mr.. Hickey
and all the bosses treat them as they
should be treated. The Steel and
Metal Workers Industrial Union
found cut about this condition in the
department and we are willing to
give any help we can. You can get
in touch with the Steel and Metal
Workers Industrial Union at 1853

superintendent telling the workers to
step on it or get the rag out. Hurry
up boys" "You must get more work
out. It costs this department too
much money" Speed up there or you
go OUT
After a days work we are not only
tired but we can't read or concentrate.
Our mind does not work. We are be-
coming more and more worse slaves
than the ancient slaves when they
had no machinery to work with. How
long this system is to continue like
this depends on us workers. See that
this paper reaches not only every
worker in our department but the
whole shop.

ever about our job. We are doing
the same amount of work in eight
hours as we did in nine. New ma
chimes are being installed, which
means more profit for the company
and more lay-offs.
A group of us workers were dis
cussing the good and the bad in Gem.
One pointed out the company gives
us free coffee or milk at noon. We
should have no illusions about the
company losing anything by this
blindness"
Another worker explained how in
another factory in Boro Hall section
they get free hot lunch and pool
tables from the company. But what's
the use? We workers are too tired
to play after days work.
1 also heard the following about
our shop: That one worker who had
been in the shop for IA years was
laid off at Christmas and hasn't come
back to work yet. Also that in some
departments if higher paid worker
stays out for a day they may shift
lower paid worker on to his Job
for day, still getting the lower pay.
This is the way the company is
making up for its kindness"
After the N. R. A. cut our hours,
we lost the eight-hour day.
So, fellow workers in the Gem, the
N. r. A. is supposed to be some CO.
operation between the bosses and the
workers. If wage cuts and speed-up
is cooperation, then it's time to
dump the bosses off our back. They
are getting too heavy.
The Steel and Metal Workers In
dustrial Union has approached us
many times. That's the only way to
beat the boss-through organization.

Joint Activities Of the

our meeting, bringing helpful sug-
gestions and furnishing us with po~
litical guidance. Following our plan
of action meeting, a joint unit meet
ing was held which was very well
attended by both Party and League
comrades.
In a recent anti-war symposium at
which a Negro reverend spoke, the
Party did splendid work by speaking
individually in the discussion and by
bringing workers to the symposium,
which was a success.
We have arranged to have regular
buro meetings with both Party and
League representatives present, and
to have joint meetings at least once
every six weeks.
One danger, however, which should
be pointed out and which We cor
rected some time ago is that OF los.
ing our identity as a VOL. units
that is, of doing duplicate work to
such an extent that we are really
not doing work among the youth.
This. we are glad to say, has been
abolished. We now have a group Of
children, group of young boys and
Of young girls being organized within
the neighborhood church.
We hope that this will serve as an
example to both League and Party
units; that the possibilities OF iiont
work are not possibilities, but that
little cooperation on the part Of
both the League and the Party will
lead to healthier and more effective
work.
UNIT 6, SECTION 5, Y.cL.
Pioneer Group In Boston Sets
Example to Party
For the past number of weeks the
District Literature Committee Of Dis
trict has been trying to induce
the comrades to start libraries in
their various groups, and it was the
young comrades in the Roxbury
Pioneer group who took the initiative
to organize the first library. All the
children brought one or more books
from home and paid one penny for
library card. The comrades pay
two cents every two weeks for dues
and they will have little affairs to
get new books. This group also has
class on the History Of the Work
ing Glass.
Communist Party comrades and
sympathizerS in organizations In the
Boston District should follow the
good example of the Pioneers. On
ganize library in your group and
organize study circles. Divide the
unit into groups of five, with the
most politically developed comrades
in the unit as captains of the groups
and meet once week for study. In
vite sympathetic members Of the
unions, block committees and other
organizations into this circle for spe-
cial discussions. Use the Daily
Worker. Study the articles and ed
itorials and discuss how to carry
them into life in the territory OF
factory in which you are active.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.-The trus-

about 300 workers, and then told
them to go home and come back
the next day. When those workers
have children at home freezing and
no coal to build fire, and those
children go to school without their

on these workers, till they starve
