come true. Then they shouted we
Demand Unemployment Insurance"
and naturally I shouted we Do
Not Want Any Old Kind-We De-
mand That LaGuardia Endorse the
Workers Unemployment Insurance
Bill H. R. 1891"
Instead of this slogan meeting with
favor, an S. P. functionary came
over to me and in full view of sew
eral hundred people began to argue
and threaten me, not to shout this
slogan. I told him our organization
had endorsed this measure and I
was there for the express purpose
Of pubicizing the only real Unem-
ployment Insurance Bill.
The S. P. leaders acted as if I
was a cancer to their picket line,
and they just didn't know what to
do about it. Finally I asked one of
the leaders, why don't they lead the
workers in shouting for H. r. 1898?
The answer waS-the workers didn't
know about it or they didn't want
to. This only shows how deliber-
ately the Socialists, even in their
unemployed groups, are aiding the
LaGuardia and Roosevelt Govern
ment by not explaining and edu-
eating the workers to fight for this
measure, and how bitterly they OPP
pose anyone who does.

Leaders Help
Politicians Make
MOneyOut OfPWA
BY a Worker CORRESPONDENT

ST. LOUIS, Mo.-All the me-
chanics were laid off here in st.
Louis two weeks ago. They worked
fourteen weeks on the c. w. A.
projects. Some of the members of
the unions No. l and No. 2 paid
fines to $40 a week in their back
dues. Some of the workers not
doing any work for over three years
had to pay still more. This was all
in the A. F. of L. union racket. Now
comes the P. w. A., still a bigger
racket than the G. w. A. These
jobs are supposed to be union jobs,
but for the mechanics to get these
jobs, they must go to the Democrat
politicians and tell the political
parasites that they will vote for
them in the next election.
All A. F. of L. members, join the
Rank and File movement in your
local headquarters and make the
leading racketeers cough up the
dues you paid up after starving
three years on charity slop put out
by the city charity racketeers.
Your leaders are staying awake
at night trying to think up ways
and means to rob your treasury;
selling you out to the politicians is
the first step. The next will be alb
sconding with the money, and, with
the politicians backing the leaders,
they will go free while you workers
starve.

Councils Results in Rapid Increase

two in the city and three out Of
town, one Just organized in Holly
wood; two Jewish speaking branches
and two branches in the process Of
formation.
A conference of these councils has
been called. with invitations to other
womens' organizations, to organize
women's organizations, to coordi-
nate and guide the work, and to in
crease the forces in organizing the
working women and housewives.
During the short time they have
functioned, the new councils can
already report number of relief
struggles carried on and won. They
led large committees to relief sta
tons and got relief for families that
had been denied help for many
months. They won relief for a
Negro mother and child who were
to be evicted, having been discrimi-
mated against because of their race.
Both Jewish speaking councils in
joint action won back the free
lunches for C.WA. workers children
in the Harrison st. school. We have
increased our bundle order of
Working Woman" from 100 to 200.
We are arranging three mass meet
ings in different parts of the city
for International Women's Day.
These activities and others, such
as their help on the picket lines in
the milk strike, shows of what value
the Women's Councils can be in
time of struggle if they are given
proper support.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. = Coming
through Flomation, Ala, we were
surrounded with one-armed Kelley
and his gang of kid chiselers, who
pick up everybody they can get who
come in on the L. & N. Railroad.
They told us to get off, and we were
taken over to a little one-horse
calaboose (47 all told)-held in a
three-cell room all night.
At IL or l o'clock was taken over
to Mrs. Kelley's Restaurant to a
15c meal, as they call it. We all
signed a Government voucher that
a fellow made out for two meals
and bed, which would, of course,
be SIPS. We only got the lunch.
Conditions exist like this all
along the l.. 81 N. Railroad system,
from New Orleans to Birmingham.
I made it my business to get the

The calaboose at Flomation, Ala,
is lousy, SO is One-arn1ed Kelley and

not find out. We stood up all night
and at Is minutes to five we're
lined up and told to get on the
freights going North or South at

without breakfast, too.

Carpenter of Job
By a Worker Correspondent

CHICAGO, In.-My first job in
three years, I received the assign
ment from the Grovehill Illinois
Emergency Relief for the work as
carpenter in Jackson Park Lagoon,
building the runways for the la
borers, which doesn't even belong to
the carpenter trade.
I belong to the Carpenters Union
242, but my dues are not paid up
to date, as I have been on relief for
2 years. The business agent from
the local union No. al, Mark D.
Taylor, tried to stop me and an
other two men from working on
account of our dues not being paid.
This was Monday, April 2. I re-
fused to stop on his debating, until
Mr.. j. D. Ball issued his orders.
So on this afternoon, he came in
again with three sluggers. He is
sued orders that we should not come

that am willing to pay my back

insisted to keep on working.
He had another five carpenters
which are in good standing. He
wouldn't let them work until I was
fired; so I was fired without get
ting any pay They sent me to the
Park Superintendent George En-
mann. He sent me downtown to-
1919 S. Michigan, and I visited every
floor in the building to get right
authority to look into this. At last
they sent me to the 9th floor to Mr..
Harvey, the one who made the most
fun of me. I was sent to the 7th
floor to Mr.. Werts but I think a.
man could see Hitler easier than
he could see him.
About so per cent of the union
men in Chicago are behind with
their dues. They would like to see
some way that the matter would be
adjusted for them, so these men
would not bother them when they
get relief jobs.

NEW YORK-On Friday, April

The rapid growth of Women's
Councils in and around Los Angeles
in a short time and through the
work of only few comrades, shows
the possibilities of organizing women
around immediate issues. Many Of
us do not realize the extent of the
sufferings of the housewife and
mother in the present unprece-
dented economic crisis, and there is
a widespread underestimation of
the readiness of women in the shops
and homes to organize for struggle.
Los Angeles was known to have
Woman's Council (Jewish speak
ing) for the last twelve years, or
ganized in the struggle at that time
against the high cost of bread. 1t
has functioned since as an auxiliary
to all mass organizations in the city.
1t has done splendid work, but
failed to develop the women's coun-
Gil into a mass organization. AS
result Of such activities the organ
ization stagnated, was looked upon
by the whole movement as cooks
for all big affairs, and collectors of
money, and not as an important
factor in the struggle for better con-
ditions, and as indispensable in time
of war and the seizure of power by
the working class. This attitude of
the whole movement toward the
councils (partly the fault of the
councils incorrect policies led to a
situation where women who consid-
cred themselves capable of more
than ordinary kitchen-work left the
council or did not come in at all;
considering the Women's Councils
a second rate activity to the extent
that even members Of the Party
refused to accept Council work as
an assignment.
With the above conditions prevail
ing, I was given the tsak four
months ago of organizing councils.
With very few comrades to help, in
only some parts of the city, in the
most haphazard manner, without

suited. The vocal drills and exer-
cises in speech articulation and in
pronunciation which some phya-
clans and intelligent laymen adopt
for the cure of stammering, is more
harmful than useful. 1t only serves
in centering the victims attention
on his manner of speech and fur
ther increases the feeling of in
feriority and futility. Continual
nagging or coaxing or scolding,
sometimes accompanied by threats
of punishment, in order to shame
the sufferer or to force him into
talking normally, is of no avail. Nor
is the exhibition of sugar coated
sympathy, pity or over-anNety to
help of any permanent benefit. On
the contrary, these methods" are
often more harmful than the vocal
drills.
If the child is below the age of
nine, its attention should never be
focused on his handicap. About
half an hour to an hour of CONVEX
sation or reading or story telling
after supper, when the child is not
taken away from his games, should
constitute all the vocal training that
child of his age should receive.
The subject of the conversation
should, of course, be one in which
the child is interested. He should
never be made aware of the fact
that he is being trained in his
speech. With older children, the
cause of stanmering as conflict
of feelings, or of thwarting of the
desires, can be discussed. The daily
hour of practice in speaking and
reading should be explained to them
as an opportunity for their free ex-
preston of thought and feelings and
not for the purpose of improving
their articulation or pronunciation.

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
Suffering Continued

We know of some children who be-
gan to stutter as a result OF the
silly quarrelS and chickering's OF their
parents. In one case boy OF nine
who always used to be made the
goat" by his older playmates, be-
gan to stutter as protest for the
continual "knockdowns." There are
children who will begin to stammer
when they are not allowed to have
a good cry. Seedlings from either
parent and continual admonitions
to "shut-up" has often resulted in
cases of "incurable" stammering.
Forcing children to study, play the
piano or violin, learn languages or
tax their mental capacities, is an
other fruitful cause of vocal impedi-
ment.
Suffering is not merely simple
speech disorder; analysis of most
suffering cases showing that it is
most often disturbance in the So
cial adjustment of the handicapped
child's emotional life. The child's
energy outlets are blocked and there
is a conflict between the desire to
speak and the nearly equally strong
tendency not to speak. The result
is, therefore, an attempt to speak
accompanied by an invariabie in
hibition of speech. The speech dis
turbance is thus simply an outward
manifestation of an inner conflict.
1t is very difficult for parents to
discover the causes of the conflict
because very often they themselves
happen to be one of the factors in
this conflict. Exceptionally intelli-
gent parents can sometimes solve
the problem, unaided, but in most
instances an expert in child guild
ance OF a specialist have to be cons

LANCASTER, S. c., April 16 (By
MaiD Five Negro workers we're
killed last Saturday at the Lam
caster Cotton Mills here, when a
badly built scaffold on which they
we're working gave way. They were
installing a new boiler, and all the
workers were crushed to death.
Their names are not known. The
local boss press have refused to
print single word on the case.
This mill is one of a chain in
northern South Carolina which is
owned by Springs, who also has
large plantations and owns a rail-
road here.
The death of these workers is the
direct result of the greed of the
