Secretary of Junior Section TWO
To Tour East, Showing Soviet Film

The first month of 1885 has
brought a slowing down of the
recruiting activities of the order.
Yet a total of 1857 adults and 1874
children were recruited during the
month.
The reports from the districts in
dictate that the preparations for the
Convention have been started in
earnest. The branches are making
plans to secure the right to send
delegates, or additional delegates,
to the Convention. The branches
realize that the Convention will be
successful only insofar as it can
crystalline the collective experiences
of the membership. This is pos
sible only if the membership is
really represented.
The branches also realize that
the Convention will be a school for
our further work. An effect of this
school upon the membership can be
secured only if the branches are
represented there and bring back
to the membership the spirit and
conceptions of the Convention.
Junior Section Secretary on Tour
Comrade Jerry Trauber, secretary
of the Junior Section, is going on
a tour of the eastern and mid west
ern states for the purpose of
building this important section of
our Order. He takes with him the
famous Soviet sound picture,
Broken Shoes" a picture attrac-
tive both to children and adults.
Thus the purpose of the tour is
both educational and organiza-
tional. Aside from showing the
film, Comrade Trauber will be able
to help in the work of the local
junior branches and explain the
workings of the Junior Section in
territories where junior branches
do not yet exist.
The charge Of the Junior Section
for one showing Of the film is SIS.

I'll. r. B. Denies Medical
Aid to Infant
BY a Worker Correspondent

NEW YORK. - The life of q
worker, his wife and new born baby
mean nothing TO the laws which
are made by the bosses.
The Unemployment Council of
Queens has just brought case to
the Home Relief Buro of a worker
whose wife gave birth Sunday and
since then had no medical atten-
ton.
Lying in cold fiat, the two-day
old baby has caught cold. When
the Council went with this worker.
Mr.. Carroll, with two other workers
to the Home Relief Buro to demand
a doctor, they refused to send one,
claiming that he was G. w. A.
worker We know what a G. w. A,
worker makes, and having to sup
port two other children, he surely
couldn't afford to call in a doctor
on his earnings.
The Unemployment Council of
Queens asks you fellow workers to
organize and be ready to support
such delegations to the Home Re-
lief Buro at all times so that we
can demand what is rightfully COM
ing to us. Only the strong organi-
zation of workers, employed and I'M
employed, can force the law makers
TO give us more relief and decent
clothing to wear and to live in de-
cent homes instead of the fire traps
which they force us to live in.
The Unemployment Council OF
Queens meets every Monday night
at 8 p. m. at the Workers Center
2520 Astoria Avenue, Astoria.

SAN DIEGO, Caif.-Councilmsn
Albert W. Bennett broke his former
record for spending the San Diego
taxpayers money on his second
trip to Washington, D. c., last fall.
He was gone % days and man
aged to spend S653.49, more than
half Of the sum which he spent on
his former trip last January, when
he was gone 70 days and only spent
$1,16467.
Like the first trip, he claims he
is out his own pocket more than
500, but he won't charge the city
for it! The city advanced him $500
before he left and now owes him
Sl53.49 more!
He flew from San Diego by air,
but was grounded at Albuquerque.
He thinks there will be a refund on
his air ticket, and is willing to re-
turn that to the city treasury. Be-
fore he reached Washington, it
seems he went to Chicago, to attend
q conference Of mayors Bennett
isn't mayor, but only a council
man, then to Pittsburgh, for
which he doesn't pay, and then to
the capitol.
The two days he stayed in Chi
cago cost him for hotels S24.77, but
he claims this also includes tele-
phones and kilograms. In Pitts
burgh and Washington he only paid
S. a day.
His meals cost, breakfast, rs
cents to $1.25; luncheons, 81 to
$165; and dinners, $125 to $3.50;
with tips running, is cents for
breakfast, % cents for lunches, and
up to so cents for dinners.
He also lists expenses for valet
service, cleaning and pressing, taxi,
telephone and telegraph, laundry
and stenographer service. One S.
item is listed as entertaining charge.
On one Of his smaller junket trips
within the state, Bennett had to
explain a mysterious entry for $40
on his expense account. This was

this outfit has been chiseling on
the organized brewery workers. A
few weeks ago several union work.

scale wages Of $710 per shift, were
laid off in the bottling department.
Their places were filled by nom
union men at the rate of 50 cents

side by side with the regular work
ers for over a year, except one who
had been rehired, doing the same
work for less pay and getting all

These non-union workers have
been playing hide and seek with

Refuses Overtime w Ork ;
Is Fired From F.E.R.A.
BY a Worker Correspondent

MILWAUKEE, Vision Jan. 10
I was working in the Lake Park
Stadium F. r. r. A. project to
which I recently had been trans
ferred.
The boss sent several men, of
whom 1 was one, to work on the
ice with a pick, digging ice and
throwing 1t over the embankment.
The embankment was very high
and the ice and water would fall
back. The boss Of our gang was
a very cruel and mean man.
I told the boss that it was i'm
possible to work as the Ice would
only slide back. He told me that If
I didn't want to do 1t, would have
to quit.
He ran ahead and Immediately
wrote something on piece Of paper
which he gave me to give to the
office. When the official opened
the note, he asked me whether I
had hit the boss with the shovel.
I said no, because I had not. He
then asked me if I had tried to
hit him. I denied this, too, because
1t was not true. The boss had
framed me. I was helpless.
He did this because he was angry
on Saturday when had refused to
work two extra hours. Due to the
cold weather we were running short
some hours. 1t was impossible for
me to work these two hours as !
was actually frozen standing in the
ice and water. 1 went home after
my six hours we're finished. On
Monday, when I went back the
above incident occurred, and I was
fired.

to have been formed In the United

the purchase Of Oak Island, where
fortunes have been lost in vain at

crets jealously guarded by Atlantic
tides. The new American syndicate
is said to be prepared to spend $780,

rounds even the names of those who
will seek the Nova Scotia treasure.
The Oak Island treasure hunter
needs no complicated maps to find the
spot where the loot Is buried. It's To-
cation has been known since 17S5.
Pieces Of jewelry and fakes Of gold
have been uncovered, but the treasure
itself has never been found. although
IL is believed to rest in a vault which
measures 40 feet from floor to ceiling.
Numerous expeditions have sought
in vain to unearth the treasure, buried
with uncanny skill and great labor
many scores Of years ago. The pit in
which the treasure Is believed to rest
Is so constructed that with the end Of
each days work the results Of all the
expeditions which have sought 1t
