Workers Car
Retained By
Loan Sharks
By a Worker Correspondent

Oy q NNOAhCA OOAAOoPOAAuCAE
INGLEWOOD, Cal.-Here is one
little example of the way in which
the loan SHARKS are able to blk
members of the working class be-
cause of their helplessness for lack
of social insurance.
Joe Azar, of 4243 E. Palm Street,
Inglewood, is a war veteran, mem
Der of the American Legion, and has
a family of five. He was unem-
ployed. Before he got job on
the F. E. R. A. he ran so short
of money and his family was SO
much in need of the necessities of
life, that he was forced to get SIS
from the loan sharks, the Southern
Finance Corporation of 447 S. Mar
ket Street, Inglewood. In order to
get this $25 he had to sign note
for $3.50.
Queer, isn't it?
The extra money was for %
transfer of the pink ownership slip
of his car, 81; (2) interest 85c, and
90 Brokerage Fee" $1065.
He was supposed to pay in six
installments. He did pay all six
installments, but each was few
days late because Azar didn't get
paid regularly. When he had paid
the last installment he asked for
the return of his ownership slip.
The company presented him with
another bill for $40. This was for
the delay in the payments, delays
which totalled Is days.
Joe went to the Public Defender,
then to his American Legion post
which sent him back to the Public
Defender, Finally the township
judge gave an order for the release
of his car, but the finance sharks
appealed to the superior court. Joe
had planned a trip to Arizona look
ing for job. He can't leave the
state with his car until he gets the
release.

First Communist Vote
Cast in Albion History
BY a Worker Correspondent

ALBION, Micn. - There were
six Communist votes cast here in
the last election, the first ever
cast here.
We are trying to build a mass
United Workers Assn. here. The
workers don't intend to stsrve or
freeze here this winter. We will
fight. First, we started petit
ton to get our rent paid and a
ton of coal a month for workers
getting less than SIS a week. We
will back it up with mass action
if necessary.
One comrade was discharged
here for asking rs cents an hour
for tending Mason, the same as
the other tenders we're getting. We
get rs cents an hour, Is hours a
week, $12 for a family of six or
more.
Rent is So month and up,
coal in 500 ID. lots is $3.50 a ton.
Tell me how we can get by on
that, and I'll eat grass for liv-
ing.

One of the workers accidentally
slipped into ditch and hurt him
self quite severely. He was taken
to the hospital. In terrible pain he
had to lie and wait patiently for
medical treatment. Again the work.
er went to the hospital for dag
nosis but the attendant answered:
"You only imagine that you are i'll"
Now this worker is asking for
some compensation, which is justi-
fable, but the answer is no compen-
sation, only miserable relief.
When he told them about the sit
uation, they told him, "You must
have been drunk to Slip" Those
are the kind of bossy answers he
receives just because he is poor.

Rheumatism

COMRADE S. G., of the Bronx,
v writes: MY husband is a suf-
ferer from rheumatism and neu-
ritis, and an electric diathermia
treatment relieves him little. But
the dispensaries charge 81 a treat
ment, which I can't afford to spend
every time. Would it be advisable
to buy a midget diathermia for
about $40 or SIS so that he should
have it when he needs it and would
he have the same results as the
one in the dispensary. Also, could
you please send in the name of
the best tablets to relieve pain, to
be taken internally. In short, please
give me the best help you can. The
pain IS mostly in both arms"
Our Reply
MERELY stating that your hus-
w band suffers from rheumatism
and neuritis in both arms, does not
give us enough information. The
term rheumatism" describes aches
or pains. Actually many diseases
cause various kinds of painful con-
ditions.
First, as to the diagnosis. Your
husband is probably a victim of
some form of arthritis. A search
for possible infective areas, such as,
the tonsils, teeth, sinuses, intes-
tines, ETC., should be made. There
again, since most of his suffering
is in both arms, it is quite possible
that his arthrts may be in the neck
region Of his spine. Treatment
should, therefore, be directed to
this region.
A diathermy machine costing ten
or fifteen dollars is just another
method of exploiting the unin-
formed sick. A diatherny apparatus
to be effective, must develop GER
tain type of electrical energy meas
urable in amperes. We know of no
machine on the market in that
price range, which could be of value.
Besides all this, this apparatus
should be used only by those &C

Union for circulation among Ine
peasants, in order to stimulate
them to study the education of
the child. The booklet is called
Don't Beat Your Child" and was
published by the State Medical
Publishers of u. S. S. r. in 1881,
and is sold for three cOpecks az
cents.
"DARENTS don't beat their chill
dren anymore" was my first
thought when I saw the booklet
Don't Beat Your Child" But on
second thought I remember last
winter I was staying at farmers
house in Pennsylvania and I saw
him beat his ten-year-old daughter
with strap.
I cannot tell you all about the
booklet because it is much too long,
so I will hurry through it touching
some of the high spots. 1t begins
like this:
"a great change is going on
throughout the whole country. The
old is disappearing Don't stand
apart from all this: throw aside
your dark old life, participate in
the new"
The booklet explains that for
merly submission to the Cars will
was enforced by whips and fists of
the gendarmes; submission to the
teachers will was enforced by fear;
submission to the parents will. by
the parents first. "In word, edu-
cation was fear and blows"
What is the new plan? "The old
regime expired. Now have before
us the task of building socialism in
our country magnificent task
which one generation alone can not
complete. We must therefore pre-
pare our children to carry on the
building of a new society. That is
why those who educate by beating
cannot be tolerated-the whip and
club can only educate slaves"
WHAT is there to do? I'VE are
w afraid that il we don't beat
our children they will become I'M
rully and no one can manage
them. What can we do? Parents
are asking these questions.
There is now in almost every
village, a school; in every collec-
tive farm, day nursery and a
Playground. AT such places there
are trained workers who know how
to handle children, without beat
ing them, without wCsaring at
them, without shouting at them,
but to whom the children listen a
hundred times more attentively
than to their parents. 1t is good
scheme to watch thees people.
There are women members of col
lective farms who work in the day
nurseries and also take courses of
training in the city. There are
papers and magazines which carry
many articles about educating
children. The radio is broadcast
ing speeches on the subject, and
hundreds of thousands of little
books are spreading to the most
remote corners of our country.
Any mother can buy one.
$50 we say: Don't beat your
children. Learn to bring them up
wisely" Vivian Dahl ends her
little review by saying 1--WE see
from this that bringing up chill
dren becomes science under So
cialism."

LEGENzA TO RELY
ON AL|B| DEFENSE
Attorney Arranges to Bring
New York Witnesses to
Richmond Trial.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va, August 1S.-With
Walter Legenza, alias William Davis,
member of the notorious Tri-State
gang, scheduled to go on trial here
Monday for the murder OF E. M.
Huband, the gangster's lawyer, Charles
w. Moss, was arranging tonight to
bring three, perhaps four, alibi wit
nesses here from New York.
They will testify, Moss hopes, that
they saw LegenZa in New York on
March 8, the night Huband was shot
down at the wheel of a Federal Re-
serve Bank truck, pocketed between
gang cars on road leading into the
Broad street railroad station here.
Four Defense Witnesses.
William Reynolds prepared to tes-
tify he dined with Legenza in New
York that night; Thomas Brescia,
manager of the restaurant; a man
named Miller, who says he saw
Legenza and Reynolds at dinner, and
the assistant manager of a hotel where
Legenza insists he was registered, will
probably constitute the defense wit
ness corps.
Commemorative Attorney T. Gray
Haddon, who will prosecute, has ridi-
culed the alibi defense. Haddon is
confident, he says, he will be able to
prove Legenza was here and fired the
shot which slumped Huband, bleeding,
to the floor boards of his stalled
truck.
The testimony of Arthur Misunas,
held in Henrico County Jail here,
who says he was one of the hold-up
squad, is expected to provide the State
with its strongest evidence.
May Ask Continuance.
If his witnesses are not here when
Judge John L. Ingram opens Hastings
Court Monday morning, Moss will ask
another continuance, he said today.
The case has already been continued
once. Called last Monday, it was de-
layed a week on Moss request for
two-week period.
After the continuance was ordered,
the court was informed that an auto
mobile from Washington, with police
officers and Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Fon-
taine, witness, in it, had overturned
and burst into flames on the road.
The whole party was injured but will
be able to attend court Monday.
