Action and Talk of Police Show Him Who Is
for the Working Class

work, and this is the cause Of
the other mines not working"
am not a member of the Com
munist Party but most any worker
can think just a little and see
from the talk of the two debaters
that the Communist Party and
the I. L. D. are the only organ
izationS fighting for the working
class.
The above facts have been
pointed out to let the white and
Negro masses of America, and
especially in the South know that
the ruling class is trying to smash
the only organization that is fight
ing for the masses of people, by
using the white against the Ne
groes, and the Negroes against the
white, telling us that we are in
bad company when we are with
the white workers.
The ruling class does everything
they can to keep the white and
Negro workers from struggling to-
gether for better living conditions
because they know when we unite
together it will be dark day for
them.
The only way out for the work
ing class, the white and Negro, is
to come together in a united
struggle for their everyday needs.
AS long as the ruling class can
use one against the other, we will
always get starvation wages and
lesser relief for the unemployed.
am calling all workers who
want to better their conditions to
join the Communist Party and the
I. L. D. because the bosses are
fighting against this movement,
because they are for the workers,
and we must build it up and make
it strong.
could not see all of this till
they put me in Jail and the
whole time I was in Jail I was
thinking about the Communist
Party. I have been reading the
Communist literature about five
months and what they say comes
true. I don't know how they
can tell, but they hit the nail
on the head. They can tell us
what is the next step the bosses
are going to take to further starve
us poor Negro and white people.
They arrested me for a member
of the Communist Party and I
was not, but the next time they
arrest me I will be a member of
the Communist Party and fight
in it until I die.

PENNSYLVANIA EXAMINES FOR
INVESTIGATOR JOBS
Harrisburg. Pa

Just a line to yet you know that
the Dauphin County emergency re-
lief used, as the basis of their ex-
animation for investigators, the
story Bill Meade" which appeared
in the March 10th Saturday Eve
ming. Post. Much of the original
story was deleted, such as, for in
stance, the account of the Commu-
mist meetings in the shop of a low
fellow who combined business with
pleasure, by selling the devotees an
especially vile drink known as
smoke" The omission of this part
of the story by the emergency relief
seems to have been dictated by the
need for brevity rather than de-
cency. However, inasmuch as they
retained sufficient references to I'M
employed men being easy prey for
"flannel-mouthed Communists, to
be able to find out in advance how
the prospective investigator feels
about the red question, not to men
ton innoculating him against the

The examination for investigator
consisted of two parts: The first,
a true-false examination, was given
about a month ago. The second, a
personal interview to determine if
the applicants are of sound judg-
ment," was given at a later date,
and consisted of questions asked
after the applicant had read a.

FLINT, Mich.-The rank and file
of the Patternmakers' Local have
demanded that the local officials
investigate the record of Francis
Dillon, the organizer appointed by
the A. F. Of L. to take charge Of
the work of organizing the auto
workers in Flint. The basis for this
investigation is the facts that have
come to light which brand this
shining light of the A. F. of L. as a
guntoter, drunkard and au-around
sell-out artist.
When the question was raised by
the rank and file on the floor of
the local meeting, the officials
agreed to. investigate this man.
That was six weeks ago and there
is still no investigation.
The basis for these charges was
that some members of the local had
concrete proof that number Of
years ago in a big strike in Indiana
polls, two workers were standing on
the picket line at a certain point
when scab was seen sneaking out
of a side door. He was immedi-
ately stopped by the pickets who at
tempted to persuade this worker
that he was doing the wrong thing
by Scabbing. They were answered
with a volley of abuse, and then
this scab drew his gun and forced
his way past the pickets. This
amiable gentleman was none other
than Mr.. Dillon.

troit some years ago decided to
have a meeting to instruct the APP

WOrkerS'Enemies
Exposed

HUGH LONG DONALDSON, of
Yonkers, N. Y, has been expelled
from the Communist Party as an
incurable white chauvinist and anti
Semitic, who is totally unfit for mem
bership in the ranks of the revolu-
tionary Party of the working class.
Donaldson has been actively prop
agating anti-Negro and nti-Semitic
ideas. He has become the center
among certain ideologically back
ward elements in Yonkers for dis
crediting our Party, for carrying on
disruptiVe work, for expressing the
influence of the class enemy within
our ranks. Among others, he has
made such working class state
ments, as-"The Negroes are emu
lating the white race and more
or less they agree to white suprem-
acy e. will not be ruled by Ne
groeS (referring to the slogan of
self-determination in the Black
Belt)" = and 1.-THE fight in the
Madison Square Garden was a fight
between Communist Jews and So
cialist Jews The majority of the
leaders Gin the S. P) were Jews, and
they betrayed the workers. AS far
as the Communist leaders are con-
cerned. having been burned once.
I am from Missouri, I will have to
be shown"
Clearly, Donaldson still holds to
the whole rotten theology of the rul-
ing class, fascist ideas disseminated
by the capitalists in order to divide
the workers, in order to prepare the
ground for fascism. He is a South
erner and still maintains the per-
nlcious, poisonous, arrogant superb
GRITTY ideas of the white hundred
percenters. He has no place in the
Communist Party, in the only Party
that raises high the banner of strug-
gle for unity of Negro and white
against all discrimination and all
expressions of chauvinism and anti
Semitism.
In eXpelling Donaldson from its
ranks, the Communist Party exposes
him to all workers for what he is
and warns all workers against his
disruptive ideas and influence, warns
against placing any confidence in
him.

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
Habitual DisIocation of the
GhouIdprc

ChOuAuOlo
l. j. W.-Once limb is dislocated
from its joint, it becomes so much
easier for it to become dislocated
again. The oftener it is dislocated,
the more chances there are for
future dislocations. This is due to
the fact that when the head of the
bone leaves the socket joint, it
streaches the ligaments which sur
round the Joint and hold it inside of
the cavity. Once the hgaments are
stretched, subsequent dislocations
will occur more easily. The same
thing happens at the ankle joint.
1t is well known to tennis players
and skaters that once they get a
sprained ankle, they are prone to
suffer from the same accident much
more frequently afterwards.
We doubt that an operation will
do any good. The best course to fol-
low is to take prolonged rest from
all physical exercises involving your
shoulder joints. Sometimes the APP
plication of plaster-o paris cast
immobilizes the joint sufficiently,
enough to give a chance to the re-
Taxed liganents to contract and thus
prevent further dislocations.

Florida Worker
Describes Terror
BY a Worker Correspondent

MIAMI BEACH, Fla.-The in
teresting articles in the Daily
Worker by Joseph Freeman about
Florida have inspired me to write
about that state.
I worked in Miami for the past
four years in one of the finest
hotels. AS you all know, down in
the South, the Communist Party
is illegal, but the Socialist Party
and the Silver Shirts are func-
tioning legally And besides, the
S. P. and the Silver Shirts are
very close neighbors not only in
their headquarters, but also in
their policies, in making the same
attacks against the revolutionary
workers.
You need not go to Germany
for Hitlers; you have them right
in Florida. After trying to or
ganize the food workers, a yellow
rat gave me away to the boss
and our plot was uncovered. I
was forced to leave Miami. Then
I went up to my boss to ask
him for my back wages, which
was SIS. He said to me, Forget
about it, you have cost me enough
already, trying to organize work
ers in my place" When I said,
We'll, we have a right under the
N. R. A. to organize and demand
better conditions" he said, Not
down in Florida, and BESIDES" he
said, you know that in one hour
I can have you locked up and
they will throw the keys away
when 1 tell them that you are
Communist"
Then I realized what the sit
uation was, so 1 had to leave and
forget about my wages.

FOR HUNGRY WORKING CLAs
WOMEN-JAIL!

FOR HUNGRY WORKING CLAS
W0MEN-JAIL!
OF special interest to working class
women is a double case coming up
in tombs court Tuesday (today) at
10 am.
Two women, Mrs Victoria Raffee
and Miss Bertha Long, were ar
rested on May %, when, with a
huge crowd of other workers, they
congregated before the Spring and
Elizabeth st. relief station to pro-
test the stopping of relief.
This meeting was quiet and or
derby. A committee of five had been
elected which was fatty refused adj
mittance. The crowd protested and
finally permission was given for the
committee to go inside. The cops,
wishing to provoke the crowd, began
to push them, though they had not
obstructed what little traffic there
Wac.
Mrs. Raffe was pushed among
others. Mother of two small chill
lren, with third now due, she is
pale and emaciated by hunger.
Her husband has been long unem-
1loyed. She had one blood trans
fusion not long ago and should
have another in order to bear the
child safely. Several letters stat
ing her condition and need of food
were given her by Bellevue Hos
pital, which letters she took to
the relief bureau. The bureau
kept the letters.
Her relief had been stopped and
she had had to go to the bureau
many times and insist on its con-
tinuance. Once they sent her to
the psychopathic ward for a Cruel
ing mental examination. (Must be a
lunatic if you want to eat, says
capitalism)
When she was pushed on May %,
she protested. The bourgeois papers
said she had slapped a cops face;
this. is not true. She was roughly
seized by two cops, brutally man
handled, and dragged couple of
blocks down street where she was
thrown into a cab and taken away.
When Mrs. Raffee was first taken,
Bertha Long unemployed girl who
has been dependent on relief which
had been stopped tried to go to her
rescue and was herself held by sew
eral cops. A photo of this incident
appeared in the tabloid papers with
the lie that Miss Long had hit cop
with a pop bottle, a lie doubtless in
spired by the fact that Miss Longs
handbag was caught by the camera
at an angle which made it appear
like a bottle.
Bertha Long was here released.
She. went with the rest of the crowd
who followed the cops dragging Mrs.
Raffee down street, and went to
nearby Jail to see if she was there.
Standing across the street from this
jail, bothering nobody, Miss Long
was. arrested by Frank Conboy, one
Of the officers who had taken Mrs.
Qaffee.
Miss Long had supported her
self by doing housework while
she put herself through high
school, taking a business course,
and graduating three years ago.
She has been unable to find
steady wcrk. Some time ago, for
fighting for relief, she was ar
rested and released on probation.
She is bravely determined to
practice workers seIf-defense in
court.

makers as to just what the organi-
cation meant to do. They sent a
letter to the general executive
board asking that a member of the
board be sent to Detroit to give the
message Of hope and faith" to the
unenlightened patternmakers. Mr..
Francis Dillon was given the assign
ment.
When he arrived at the meeting,
there was a crowd of 500 pattern
makers all ready to be "uplifted."
Unfortunately, Mr.. Dillon was blind
drunk. He took the platform and
his discourse was mainly on the
qualities of the products of the
Indianapolis bootleggers. That is
how he "uplifted" the meeting.
He was gently led from the plat
form and during the rest of the
meeting his drunken snorts were
very disturbing to the membership,
who were forced to listen to Mr..
Dillon as he lay stretched out on
some chairs in front.
This protege of "Bill' Green has
the task of organizing the auto
workers to Flint And how he or
ganizeS! Recently in the Fisher
plant three strike votes were taken
and this rat was instrumental in
spiking them all.
1t is very obvious that the sell
out policies of the A. F. of L. lead
ership are being carried out to the
letter by Dillon and it is the first
and major task of the rank and
file to not only expose this rat but
to carry on a constructive fight to
GUST him and place rank and file
leadership at the head of the local.

Gary Engineers
Lives Endangered
By Coal on Engines
Have No Place to Stand.
But Company Does
Nothing
By a Worker Correspondent

GARY, Ind.-Several weeks ago
the safety man, Davis, was notified
of the fact that the engineers face
the danger of falling off the coal
on the new engines. This is due to
the fact that there is no place for
the engineers. In spite of this, no
action has been taken to change the
method of taking on coal. 1t seems
as if the company is marking time,
as usual, until some one falls off
the tank and gets killed or severely
injured, and then, perhaps, they will
change this.
In thousands of ways, such as
this the company endangers the
health and lives of the workers in
order to save few dollars here
and there and pile up their profits
Workers of the transportation de-
partment, organize yourselves into
department committees and speak
up against these and other prac-
tees. Demand safe conditions. de-
mand change in the way of taking
coal on the new engine.
Fellow workers, what happened
on May 10, between IL and 8, was
that a worker in No. open hearth
was injured. One of the boards
nailed on the windows for the win
ter time was 50 loose that the wind
blew it down and slnacked it right
on workers face and cut chunk
out of his cheek. Demand that this
carelessness which results in crippl-
ing workers, be stopped. The only
way to fight this is by joining the
S. M. w. I. U. of the Gary steel
workers.

CANADA'S GOLD TAX
 L AW IS MODIFIED

Modification of Canada's drastic 10 per cent gold pro- duction tax to relieve new divi- dend payers and producing mines which are not in posi- tion to pay dividends has been announced in Ottawa, thereby relieving widespread appre- hension among gold miners in British Columbia, and other mining areas of the Dominion.
 Readers will recall that the 10 per cent tax originally ap- piled to the gross gold produc- tion of all mines regardless of their remunerative status. The assured result would have been to seriously cripple or force the abandonment of numerous new ana lower grade properties, in addition to imposing heavy strains upon many of the more stable gold producers.
 The new regulations also pro- vide additional relief by ex- empting placer gold production and by permitting the deduc- ton of federal income tax pay ments from the amount paid as gold tax.
 The modification was partic- ularly welcome in British Col umbia, where numerous opera tlons are just entering the pro- duction stage or are preparing to do so.
