The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1934-08-03

The splendid struggles carried
through by the American workers
since the Inauguration of the New
deal" are open manifestations OF
the continuation of the crisis and
resistance Of the workers
to it.
Toledo, Minneapolis, Alabama,
San Francisco are outstanding
posts in the American labor move
ment blazing a way for American
workers. way Of struggle and
organization.
The tremendous growth in the
rehabilitation. of the workers OBJ
jecttve conditions is being further
intensified This is the setting in
which the Congressional elections
will take place-a setting which
makes possible to bring to the mil
lions of American workers the
Party and its program, and to pile
up a large working class vote. Also
the possibility of electing Commu-
nists not only to the State Senate
and Assembly, not only to smaller
Offices, but also to Congress.
What q Communist Congressman
can accomplish can be seen by
reviewing the records Of some OF
the Communists already elected in
to Office, such as in Taylor Springs,
Michigan, etc. Still there seems to
be a tremendous amount of scep-
ticism, not so much on the part
Of the workers generally as among
the Party members. They do not
think that Communists can be
elected and some who are ready
to admit that we can elect Com
munists seem to be puzzled as to
what can one or two Communists
accomplish in Congress or city adj
ministration, etc. These precise
question were raised at some of
the meetings have attended.
Some OF the comrades in deal
ing with leading struggles in the
neigfborhoods remarked that they
are willing and ready to do it, but
let's wait until the candidates are
placed on the ballot. While an
other, when being nominated for
Assemblyman, declared, "I do not
want to give up work in the neigh
borhood and become a politician"
The comrades must begin to
understand that it is our job to
take politics "out of the hands of
the special class of politicians,
ward-heelers, precinct captains and
the vast army of election officials,
and make it the job of every
worker-the interest of every toiler.
In all our election work there is
a mechanical approach. A COM
rade in Section 5 is opposed to
spending money for a platform
since we may not get on the bal
lot, so why waste all this money?
In Section 8, one of the can
didates on the c. P. ticket in the
Negro neighborhood is evicted.
She is on the street for six days.
The comrades prepare to issue
leaflet, stating, that this Negro
worker is being victimized be-
cause she is a militant fighter for
the workers, because she is can
didate on the Communist Party
ticket. But this motion is defeated,
instead leaflet is issued, stating,
Negro family evicted." -Four open
air meetings are arranged in con-
nection with this eviction, but not
at one of these meetings is there
a word said that this comrade is
running on the Party ticket. But
adding insult to injury, our COM
rades elect committee to go to
the Democratic alderman and ask
him to see that this family is

AMARILLO, Texas.-The railroad
pension act was put through Con-
gress 50 suddenly, with the Wall
Street changes included with the
help of the Brotherhood chiefs, and
it is so cleverly worded in the usual
legal style that the great majority
of the railroad workers are COM
pletely fooled by its phraseology.
This has the effect of lulling the
employees to inactivity. Every
Party member on the railroads
should Immediately get active in
arousing their fellow employees to
the dangers in the bill.
In the first place it contains
nothing for those employees who
were not employed a year ago, even
though many Of them had 20 years
service.
Another and worse feature is the
betrayal of the older men, those
who are eligible right now. In
order to use the best eight years of
their service in figuring their
average wage, they have only two
months in which to make a deci-

suffering from severe anemia due
to the unskilled abortion performed
on her. The physician you called

her to hospital. All she needs now
is rest, a diet rich in iron spinach,
liver, juicy steaks, etc. and sun

SHELDEFF|C|ENT
Aide to Postmaster General
Addresses League of
Women Voters.

The United States Government is a
remarkably efficient organization when
contrasted with private industry, Am
brose O'Connell, executive assistant to
the Postmaster General, declared to-
day at the opening of the Citizenship
School on Personnel in Government
being presented by the National and
District Leagues of Women Voters.
Despite this efficiency, the Govern
ment worker occupies a comparatively
low place in popular esteem. it was
agreed by those taking part in the dis
cuSSion.
First Lady to Speak.
Besides O'Connell, those participat-
ing in the round-table discussion in
cluded DR.. w. w. Stockberger, per-
sonnel director of the Agriculture De-
partment. who spoke as an expert in
the Government service; Ismar Ba-
ruch, chief of the personnel classifica-
ton division of the Civil Service Com
mission, who represented personnel
management; Mrs. w. w. Ramsey,
who spoke as voter: Mrs. Charles
Weston, head of the District Leagues
department Of efficiency in govern
ment. and Lewis Merriam of the
Brookings Institution, who presided.
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt was
scheduled to speak at the luncheon.
She was expected to arrive about 2
O'Clock. Joseph B. Eastman. Federal
co-ordinator of transportation, also
was to speak at that time.
O'Connell, speaking from the party
point Of view, said the administration
has endeavored in every case to find
the right man for the job. and added
that he felt "a splendid job has been
done"
Politicians have less influence in the
present administration, he said, than
ever before.
Baruch said the prestige of Gov
ernment service in this country is
much lower than in Canada and
Great Britain. For this reason, he
said, many of the good men now in
it will leave and go into private busi-
ness when the depression Is over.
Cites Two Factors.
DR.. Stockberger named two factors
which. he said, have contributed to
the low popular opinion of the Gov
ernment service. The first, he said,
was the spoils system, particularly as
administered Immediately after the
Civil War, and the second the mali
cious poking of fun at Government
employees popularity indulged in
Mrs. Ramsey said the feeling is
prevalent that initiative in the Gov
ernment employe is stif1ed.
Baruch stated that a personnel
system properly handled should pro-
vide business-like way of obtaining
workers and a method of Aeel ling
them by means Of pay commensurate
with work done and of rewards and
penalties.
The round table was preceded by
an open discussion led by Mrs. RAM
Sey on the general functions of gov
ernment and the relations of govern
ment to the people.
Mrs. Richard Hogue. president OF
the District League presided at the
morning session. while Miss Belle
Sherwin, president of the National
League, presided at the luncheon.
