new VOTERS SHOULD
REGISTER NOW

If you are new voter, or if you
have moved from the precinct in
which you last cast ballot, now is
good time to register in order to
qualify for a vote at the primary
election, August Ia. Such is the word
given out by the Board Of Election
secretary, Fred M. Stitsinger.
With the great number of candi-
dates who have filed their petitions
for nomination, it is predicted the
August primary is going to be one of
the hottest in the history of county
and there is sure to be a great rush
of those desiring to get on the poll
books the last few days of registra-
ton, time for which closes 90 days
preceding the primary. So if you are
one those who must register to be en-
titled to vote, better do it now and
avoid the last minute rush.

Here is the brief story of three
home-to children who, in spite of
early and serious reverses, have made
good. It concerns Ruth M Jones,
Dorothy Monger, and William Coul-
son, Of Hamilton. In giving the de-
details, Fred j. Stephan, secretary of
the local Moose Lodge No. 36, said:
Immediately after the death Of
the fathers of these children, applic-
cation was made to the governors of
Mooseheart by the lodge for the ad-
mission of the youngsters to the
Moose Child City of Mooseheart, the
internationally known trade and aca-
demic school, founded in 1913 by the
Loyal Order of Moose, and located in
Illinois, near Chicago. The applica-
tions were granted, and William was
admitted in 1924, Ruth in 1929, and
Dorothy in 1881. With William
came his mother and his sisters Mary
and Emma, all of whom are still at
Mddseheart. With Ruth came her
brothers Donald and Robert, and her
sister Rita, who are now at Moose
heart. With Dorothy came her
brother Gene, who too is still at the
child city.

Hayes Says Legion Wants
Profit Taken Out of War

Savannah, Ga.-Edward A. Hayes,
national commander of the American
Legion, in an address here before the
Georgia department of that organiza-
ton emphasized the Legion's plan for
universal service as a policy to ad
vance the cause of peace, adding:
'Its main purpose would be to pre-
vent any profit in war. It's enactment
would cost nothing and it would never
be used unless war is forced upon us"
Under the plan every resource of
capital, labor and man-power would
be required to give equal service with
profit to none, he said.

are ready to quit work and change
into our street clothes, all of the
dust and dirt has accumulated on
our clothes.
There are only five wash basins at
one end of the floor and eight at
the other end, two blocks away.
There is only one shower on the
entire floor. You can picture what
happens when two hundred and fifty
men want to wash up after a hard
days work
On the same floor are the ovens
where the enamel is baked on the
bodies. During the winter months
when it is cold the window are kept
closed. and the entire floor is filled
with the stink and smoke from the
ovens. For two or three hours after
we get out of the plant our lungs
and throat are irritated and we
cough continuously.
When some break occurs on the
line or we run out of stock we are
forced to stop work. sometimes for
two or three hours. During this time
we are considered ION duty" but
don't receive any pay. Sometimes
we come to work n the morning,
work a couple of hours and then
have to stop work because We are
short of stock. The next day we
may have to work thirteen or four
teen hours to make up for lost time
in production.
The fact that the workers are or
ganizing into Local l of the FEEDER
ated Auto Workers is probably re-
sponsible for the fact that lately
more or less regular hours have
been instituted. The only way we
can win better conditions on the
job and eliminate this system of ir-
regular hours is to organize into
this union and to build it into a
militant weapon in the hands of the
workers against the bosses.
A strong union, led by rank and
file committees, will be able to force
the reinstatement of the $50 men
who were not hired back in January
when the plant resumed operations,
and to put an end to the spy system
and discrimination against workers
who are laid off because of union
activity. A strong union will force
the bosses to clean up the depart
ments, install showers, lockers and
wash rooms and generally better
conditions on the Job.

Relief Plays Cruel
Joke On Worker
Sick from Hunger
From a Worker Correspondent

From a Worker Correspondent
HAMTRAMCK, Mich. - Here is
the kind of treatment single men get
at Hamtramck welfare.
Joe waronowicz is sick from hun
ger. He went to the doctor and the
doctor sent him for an X-ray be-
cause his pains we're all in his
stomach, so the doctor found out
that the pains were all from hunger,
and he prescribed for Joe Warono-
wiez, in addition to the S1.75 a week
he is receiving, milk, butter, and
eggs. Joe took the slip to the well
fare investigator, who took the slip
and made him come to the welfare
every day for week, and then sent
him to Seymore Hospital telling him
that he would get special meals in
this place.
Well, Joe looked for that hospital
whole day, then he went to Wayne
Country building, and asked where
Seymore Hospital was, and after a
long search he was told that there
was no such place in Wayne County,
or even in Michigan.
This is just part of the dirty
treatment we receive from Ham,

PARTY LIFE
Complains That YCL Work
Leaves No Time for Studies
Student Asks Better Organization of Unit
Meetings: ''End Too Late He Says

the Communist Party, a member
is required to devote activity
toward the building of the organ
ization. Therefore more than at
tendance at unit meetings is re-
CURED. That alone does not help
in organizing and leading rhe
young workers and students. It
is necessary that the writer OF
the above letter make every If
fort to fit himself into the re-
qlirements Of a young Commu-
mist.
Both the comrade and the com
rades in the unit should under
stand, however, that activity in
the Y. c. L. does not mean that
school work must be stopped. In
the first place it is necessary that
the unit should make an effort
to distribute the work more equally
among all the comrades. The bur-
den of activity should not fall on
the shoulders of a few. Secondly,
the unit should make an effort to
assign work to the student COM
radeS, which can be carried on
among the students with whom he
comes into contact-recruiting stu
dents for the Y. c. L.; developing
anti-war work among the students
distributing the Young Worker on
the campus; organizing the cafeteria
and other workers who are con-
nected with the school; developing
a movement in support of the
Workers Unemployment and Social
Insurance Bill (H. R. 1899 among
the students. 1t is our opinion that
had this Y, G. Ler and the COM
rades in the unit outlined a pro-
gram of Communist activity in his
school, he could have found time to
carry out such activities, and there
would be no accusations of inactiv-
ity directed against him.
However, the writer of the above
letter should strive to devote some
time to activities other than those
at the school. He should devote
them, in the first place, to helping
the League entrench itself in the
factories. We should try to avoid
a situation where students work
only among students. Every stu
dent should feel responsible for
helping to build the League in the
decisive places, in the shops and
factories-among the proletarian
youth.
The comrade is correct, however,
in complaining about the long unit
meetings = they should b gin
promptly at eight o'clock and last
no more than az hours, or until
1890.
The Y. c. L. will soon hold its
National Convention. 1t is opening
up period of convention dis
cussion of the problems facing the
League. The relations of each
member to his unit, as well as to
the work of the individuals and the
League as whole among the
masses, will be one of the questions
for discussion. Bad practices should
be unmasked. Good experiences
should be related.
The writer of the above letter
should raise his problem in the dis
cussions of his unit and in the press.
We request that the comrade turn
in his name and unit number to
the Y. c. L. National Office, or ar
range to come in and discuss the
matter with us.

we say Central Mills, we mean rail.
billet. 44-inch blooming mill and
both the No. so and 16O-inch Plate
Mills.
Fellow workers. what did happen
on the night of April "a in the billet
mill? We all know how the ingots
are transported from the shippers
to the charging pits. When the
stripper engine shoves, the heat in
the pits is cut of and starts to back
out.
We on the transportation depart
ment have special safety rules. Co
ing in or coming out we must blow
the whistle, but the crane operators
are speeded up so that most of the
time they do not know what is going
on below the cranes. So We on the
engine were backing out at the same
time the crane picked up an ingot
and struck the cab Of the engine on
the engineers side, so hard that the
cab part of it caved in and part
of it was leaning on the boiler. We
do not know how the engineer got
away without being killed or Grip
pied
The following morning someone
came out from the locomotive shop
to investigate. but so far nothing
has been heard of it. Fellow work
ers, this proves how much the bosses
regard the safety rules. The fact is
that no matter where you work in
any of these Central Mills you are
constantly in danger, because you
have no chance of protecting your
self or your fellow worker next to
you.
The only way to have these safety
rules in force and obeyed is to Or
ganize in our militant Steel and
Metal Workers Industrial Union of

from the mercantile angle that q
plethora of medical men can be
artificially created in certain
locality. Under the present sys-
tenn, the economic interests of the
physician and allied professions re-
quire that there should be more
and more patients. More patients
mean more sickness and no rule Of
ethics, nor oaths of Hippocrates,
can change this self-evident eco
nomic fact. But the profession of
medicine cannot allow the selfish
attitude of other branches of the
capitalist scheme to influence its
true course, mar its past achieve
ments nor hinder it's still more
glorious future development.
The younger generation of med
ical men are sickened by the idiotic
contradictions of the present social
scheme. They refuse to sell their
birthright for mess of pottage,
Instead of passively submitting to
the present intolerable conditions,
they are determined to adopt
creative attitude. They cannot con-
tinue watching their noble profess
sion degenerate first into sordid
trading and now fall to the level
of a racket. Social medicine, pre-
ventive medicine, state medicine, in
short, socialized medicine, are beck
oning! The modern physician is
already acting as a state function
airy in many of his duties: in the
dispensary, in the clinic, in the hos
pital, as a health officer, etc. In
stead of fighting against the new
current for socialized medicine, the
progressive physician should turn
his face toward the future. Soviet
Russia has shown that the sincere
physician has nothing to fear from
the new order of things. Health
will be a window opening from the
pestilential atmosphere of capt.
talistic medicine into the future OF
socialized health service!

Chevrolet Workers
Unpaid While They
Work for Stock
BY an Auto Worker Correspondent

BY an Auto Worker Correspondent
ST. LOUIS, Mo.-At the Chevro-
let plant here, when the stock runs
out on the assembling line, the
workers are required to stop with
out pay, sometimes one to two
hours. When the new material
comes, the men are again put to
work to put in the full hours for the
day, even if it runs into the night,
and without overtime pay.
Should it occur that the material
runs out in the afternoon, the men
are told that the line is down and
their pay stops for the day. In the
winter the workers work fast so as
to keep warm, for there is very little
heat. When stopping for lunch they
wear their overcoats in winter, for
the building is not warm enough to
eat in in comfort.
