he Immediately went to the Unem-
ployment Council local in his neigh
borhood.
The Council, in cooperation with
the Communist Party, Immediately
issued leaflets exposing the results
of the German sell-out and calling
on the workers of the neighborhood
to come to the support of this
worker threatened with eviction.
An open-air meeting was arranged.
Candidates of the Communist, Re-
publican and Democratic Parties
were invited to be present and
speak. Before the meeting, with
the whole neighborhood aroused,
slogans were painted in the streets,
and about this workers home RE
suits of Germans Victory: Discrim-
nation and Evictions."
The morning the eviction was
scheduled to take place, Monday,
Oct. 20, a crowd of over 100 work
ers gathered about the workers
home. AS the meeting opened Con-
stable DePietro drove up, but, see
ing the crowd, kept right on going
and didn't come back. Police also
took a look at the crowd, and
moved on.
AS the meeting got under way, 1t
was found that only one of the in
yited speakers had appeared the
representative of the Communist
Party. AS this worker spoke, a po-
liceman appeared, and tried to stop
him, saying that this was an I'M
employed meeting, and no candi-
date for office should turn it into
political meeting But he soon
discovered that the workers pres
ent were not in a mood to be
monkeyed with by police, and he
moved on.
When the meeting was over, the
workers organized q new Unem-
ployrnent Council Local, with three
Disseminated textile workers al
members.

BURLINGTON, N. C.-The large
corporations, Burlington Mill Co.,
and f. M. Holt Plaid Mill Co., are
heading off efforts of the u T. w,
to organize textile workers here.
With the aid of their agent, the
Governor, who sent tin soldiers to
shoot and break picket lines, and
who himself is large stakeholder
in textiles Of North Carolina, with
the local sheriff putting on drunks
and ex-convicts during the strike
and at present four of the famous
Prick Companys gunner here as
special detectives and with the
preachers of the town, the mill
owners carry on their campaign.
The four Prick Company gunner
have already arrested around
dozen OF our union members and
charged them with dynamiting the
e. NJ. Holt Plaid Mill during the
strike Most all the workers here
believe the company had the
dynamite planted there as an ex-
cuse to wage such campaign
against us. The explosion hardly
damaged the walls and was set off
at a place where very little injury
could have been done even if it
had been effective.

BY A Shoe Worker Correspondent
Haverhill is now facing one of
its most dreadful winters. Workers
are being laid off day after day
and are joining the ranks of the
unemployed army. Relief is denied
to both the young and old unem-
ployed workers. THE city is going
bankrupt" says our Mayor DAILY
ripple, land has no money to give
to the unemployed" Therefore,
workers of Haverhill, you must
starve, according to the Mayors
heart breaking stories.
But why is it that these skilled
shoe workers are walking the
streets? Why is it that the factories,
that were once rushing orders for
shoes, are now closing down? 1t is
evident that no worker has pur-
chased sufficient pairs of shoes to
last him all winter. Children of the
unemployed workers are wearing
shoes that show the necessity OF
new ones. But the manufacturers
have but one thing in mind, and
that is to force wage cut in order
to rake in more profits.
However, the cleverness of the
bosses to frighten the workers with
starvation phrases does not induce
the workers to accept wage cuts
and thus return to work. Moreover,
the workers are uniting with the
Unemployed Council and are going
to fight starvation.
On the other hand, the manufac-
turers, along with the city officials,
are doing everything possible to in
cite hatred against the militant
fighters.
The local press plays up removals
of factories from the city in an at
tempt to scare the workers.
But this well played role of the
local paper failed to bring about
any concessions of the workers;
every week some factory would be
planning to move. The promise of
the city officials and of the Cham
Der OF Commerce to stop further
removal was broken and nothing
was done. 1t was then up to the
masses of unemployed to take care
of themselves, and that is just what
they did.
On the day that one large factory
was packing up to leave, the work
ers picketed before the building; an
attempt was made to stop the trucks
from leaving. To protect private
property the police Immediately
appeared on the scene. Because this
attempt of the workers was not al
we'll organized as it should be, the
escort of the manufacturers sue
ceeded in breaking up the pickle
line and escorted the trucks from
| the city.
A young worker who was only {
bystander and who refused to keeI
moving as he was told to do, by al
officer was arrested. This attacl
caused the workers to defend tn,
boy and to prevent him from beint
badly beaten up by the police. Thu
The defendant was fined SIS, bu
his case was appealed.
Inthe future every worker mus
picket the factory that has any in
tention of moving; they must stol
trucks that are going to do tn
moving; they must send protests tt
the city officials; they must organ
lie into one solid rank against re
movals to other outside center
where the labor power is cheaper
Every young worker must fight sid,
by side on the picket line agains
the schemes of the bosses.

Chapping Hands and Lips
II. R. Brooklyn, N. Y-Chapping Of
~ the hands and lips is due to the
effects of cold weather on the skin.
Normally the sweat and oil sup.
piled by the sweat and sebaceous
(oiD glands, of the skin keep 1t SUPP
pie and smooth. Cold weather re-
duees both these secretions very
much so that ordinary washing of
the hands and unconscious licking
of the lips leave a thin layer Of
water on the surface. There being
no protecting layer of oil on the
skin, the evaporation of the water
and the cold air cause such loss
of heat that the skin shrinks and
cracks open.
You can, therefore, see that it is
possible to do two things to prevent
chapping. One is to dry the skin
very thoroughly after washing; in
addition try to stop licking the lips.
The other is to apply any suitable
type of oil or fat. You do not need
an expensive lotion that has been
well-sdyertiSed. Ordinary glycerin
and rose water, olive oil, plain glyc-
erin, inexpensive cold cream, will
serve the purpose The only apple
cations should be used after each
washing and additional times If
necessary.

LETTERS FROM
OUR READERS
THE CAMPAIGN BEGINS

oiOOniyil, ~ L.
Dear Comrade Editor:
I would like to suggest for the
Daily Worker that the Daily Worker
should start campaign to have ell
meetings beginning right sharp on
time. I have my work in Manhat-
tan, but I live way out in Brighton
Beach, Brooklyn. When it comes a
night 1 go to a meeting 1 do not go
home for supper, but stay in New
York. But then I have to wait
sometimes till half past nine or al
most ten for the meeting to begin.
Then I do not come home till one
in the morning. I have to get up
at six-so this is why I am kept
from many meetings.
If all meetings begin at eight
sharp, will come to more meetings
and SO will, think, other comrades.
There is no excuse for this late
meeting.
I would suggest that for just one
week all meetings should begin on
time. Then we will have no more
trouble.

paratively nothing. The E. R. A.
offers us just enough food and shell
ter so we may live in misery. Now,
I repeat, it is our duty to ourselves,
our union, and our families to take
this relief, because it is rightfully
ours; but we will not make any
more wealth for the bosses unless
they give us living wage, shorter
hours, and a union shop.

Vice President Vigorito; Organizer
Yannarelli; Secretary Noble; Bust
ness Agents Pirolo, Lyding, Callela
and Ammirato; and the settlement
board are all proving themselves to
be inSpirational leaders in whom
we may repose the utmost conf
dence and trust. They are rejecting
the united strength and strong will
OF the masses at the settlement ses-
sionS with the bosses in Paterson
and in Washington.
Notwithstanding our confidence
in our settlement board, we union
members to man are entirely
aware of our power and shall re-
turn to work only with contract
fulfilling our demands. Don't forget
that before we workers return to
the shop there must be rank and
file vote to accept the agreement.
We dye house workers have been
oppressed too long. We will not re-
turn to the shops unless we are
guaranteed comfortable living
wage, human working hours, and a
union shop.
I am writing this article to the

Arch Supporters and CaIIuses

COMRADE A. F., of Brooklyn,
v writes: For the past two
months or so, a callus has grown
on the ball of my right foot. At first
I disregarded it, but as it grew
larger, I cut the top off with a
fresh blade. This relieved me some
what, but has now grown again.
Il went to a shoe store that adj
vertises orthopedic shoes. The sales
man there told me that the reason
for the callus was because there
was too much pressure at that part
of my foot, due to the incorrect
shape Of the bones of my foot. He
took an imprint of my right foot
with my socks on, which am en-
closing in this letter. He said the
bones of my foot could be adjusted,
so that the pressure on the part
where the callus was, would be
eased, and in this way 1 would get
rid of the calluS. For this he sug-
geSted I take what he calls the
Wizard arch-builder' $3.50 plus
the cost Of new pair of shoes
$3.50, or, if wanted, I could buy
pair of orthopedic shoes from 50
up. If / got the latter, might need
an extra adjustment costing about
so. He said the orthopedic shoes
were the only shoes that conformed
to the natural shape Of the bone
structure of the foot.
II would like to have your opinion
on whether you think the growth
of the callus is really due to incor-
rect bone structure, and also
whether you think orthopedic shoes
will correct it. l have never before
had trouble with my feet, and am
very active"
Our Advice
THE callus that is present on your
right foot is due largely to COM
plete relaxation of the ligaments
and fattening of the metatarsal
arch. Callosities on the feet arise
/ because OF constant pressure or lr-
ritation. The bones in the foot are
not out Of shape or distorted, but
rather due to the relaxation of the
ligaments or caused by the pressure
OF a misfitted or too frightened shoe,
the bones are displaced and shifted
To correct this condition meta
tarsal pad placed over the pressure
area often brings instant relief. An
orthopedic shoe should be worn.
That type of shoe is not expensive
and could be obtained in most shoe
stores! 1t is not necessary for you
to have arch builders or any other
patented m edical contrivances
which are on the market for the
huge profit it brings and generally

The Pleiades and the Hyades are two of the very
few clusters which can be discerned with the I'M
aided eye.
Ar observer who examines the Milky Way with
a good field glass or small telescope finds his field
of view richly strewn with faint stars, and as ne pro-
ceeds with his examination he occasionally comes
upon a spot where the stars are particularly numer-
Gus" DR.. Robert J. Trumpler Of the Lick observatory
The many formations Of this kind vary widely
in appearance. Some are large. scattered groups OF
fairly bright stars covering an area larger tnan the
disc Of the moon; others are small, but denSeiy filled
with faint stars.
Many clusters are quite regular in structure,
with a circular outline and a well marked center
toward which the stars are concentrated. InlS Sug-
gests that they are not merely agglomerations due
to chance. but local star systems built up and main
tanned according to certain general laws
GONE clusters with numerous stars of the same
- brightness appear like a swarm Of bees, PROBES
Sor Trufnpler SAYS. But he thinks that the most
fascinating sight is offered by those clusters in which
a few stars Of sparkling briliance are Embedded in
a field of fainter ones.
The types OF clusters described by DR.. Trumpler
are found within the belt of the Milky Way or near
1t. They are known technically as open or galactic
clusters.
Another type OF cluster. which shows no prefer
ence for the Milky Way but is found by means Of
the telescope in all regions Of the sky is the giobular
Cluster. There are, as their names suggest. great
globular structures. They are characterized by reg
ular structure and enormous numbers of faint stars.
The globular clusters are exceedingly remote OBJ
jects. many Of them more than 100000 light years
away. A light year is six trillion miles. They con-
tain enormous numbers Of stars. ranging from 10000
to as many as 100000.
The most interesting discovery Of modern astron-
omy about these open clusters is that in each case
al the stars Of a cluster are moving In the same
direction with the same speed
