Are you one OF the thousands who keep from go
ing to the dentist for fear he'll find a mouth full Of
cavities? II SO. you are merely delaying the inevitable
and making conditions worse for yourself.
Nature has granted you 81 teeth, yet, If you are
an average man. IL Of these teeth are involved In
disease. not counting Filings that are already I'm
place. This figure is obtained from examination Of
thousands of men in the white collar class in New
York.
When the average man Is first examined by a den
tist. he learns that four or five Of his teeth are be-
ginning TO decay. went EIGHT per cent Of his
teeth are decayed or missing without requirements.
Even when you visit the dentist regularly. you will
discover that your teeth require some attention.
Studies made by the Committee on the Costs of
Medical Care show that only Is per cent of the peo-
pie Of the United States receive systematic dental
care. and that the annual cost a person in this group
is about $3.50.
The remaining rs per cent Of our people receive
little or no dental care. and their average annual ex-
~penditure for dental service is about 81 a person.
The number Of dentists in proportion 70 popula-
ton varies through the United States. In New York
City. for instance, there Is one dentist to every l04l
persons, while in Mississippi there is one dentist 10
every 10000 people.
In California there are more dentists, in proper
ton to the number Of people. than there are in any
other part Of the country.
OF course. a mouth full Of good sound teeth Is not
absolutely necessary for adequate chewing Of food
and for the other purposes for which teeth are used
by civilized man. but the more nearly the average
man reaches the perfect condition, the better 1t Is
for his health.
Unfortunately. the majority OF Americans have not
learned the importance Of proper care Of the teeth.
although, in general, dental care in the United States
is far superior to that elsewhere in the world. Dental
care, however, is an expense for which the average
person has not learned TO save as he now saves for
many luxuries in his family budget.
When enough people realize the Importance Of
sound teeth for health. they are likely to make the
necessary provisions for securing the dentistry they
need.

is the union of the struggle of the
proletariat in the leading imperial
ist countries and of the struggle for
liberation of the oppressed nation
alities and subject peoples in the
colonial and semi-colonial countries.
In principle Marx had already
made clear the Importance of the
question of national liberation for
the working class movement and for
the world revolution, especially in
his treatment of the Polish ques-
ton and of the Irish question.
In the era of imperialism this
question takes on a new and burn
ing Importance. The majority of
mankind become reduced to colonial
and semi-colonial subsection. Col
onial exploitation becomes the main
basis Of strength of the bourgeoisie.
The proletariat in the imperialist
countries can only win emancipa-
ton in alliance with the struggle
of the colonial peoples.
The leaders of the old Second In
ternational completely failed to I'M
derstand the significance of this
question. The official leadership
passed resolutions in favor of ma
tional freedom" autonomy" etc.
but always as within the frame
work of existing imperialist rule.
and giving no practical support to
the revolutionary struggle for in
dependence.
Another section argued that ma
tional freedom" was only bour-
geois and not a socialist interest,
and was therefore no concern of
the working class; that socialism
was opposed to the breaking up of
larger economic units, etc. CHM
perialist economism," as Lenin
termed this latter argument). Both
tendencies amounted in practice to
support of imperialism.

18th Street New York City.
Question: Did the present strike wave come as
a result Of the progress that the country is maxi
ing towards recovery?-J. F.
Answer: mol The strike wave started back in
January 1893, when the workers began to fight
back against the lowering Of their living standards
Thus before the speculative boomlet of the spring
and summer Of 1888 the workers resistance to
shouIdering the burdens Of the crisis grew from
month to month.
The workers are striking because they have not
shared in what the capitalists call recovery" The
bosses are enjoying the highest profits since $780,
but the workers find their living standards re-
duced by the rising cost Of living Even in those
industries where they have secured wage increases
through str.es, they find that their gains are not
sufficient to meet the rising cost Of necessities This
is admitted by the Annalist the leading capitalist
financial journal. It predicts that in 1885 there
will be higher living costs, demands for higher
wages and hence more labor troubles"
The recovery" that the capitalists and their
apologists speak of has been an increase in their
profits obtained by the increased plundering Of
the masses. There has been no genuine solution
Of the crisis; instead the greater poverty Of the
masses is leading to intensifcation Of the crisis

Death of Miners in Explosion
Laid at Door of Coal Company
Human Lives Cheaper
To Operators Than
Safety Devices
By MAC HARRIS

GILBERTON, Pa, Jan. pa
personal investigation by the cor
respondent of the Daily Worker,
which included interviews with
miners employed at the Gilberton
ColIiery, revealed the fact that the
Reading Coal Company, which con-
trolls this colliery, bears criminal
responsibility, for the death Of
twelve miners who were killed by
gas explosions on Jan. 81.
Several Of the miners revealed
that two weeks prior to the recent
explosions, Charles Hinkle, a miner
employed on the fourth level, was
killed by a similar gas explosion.
This is the level where most of the
miners lost their lives in the most
recent explosion. Because, of this
many Of the miners feared a recur-
renee Of the explosion and only re-
turned to work for fear of losing
their jobs.
A representative of the workmens
Compensation Bureau visited Hin
kle's home and remarked to his son
that he would like to do something
to avoid future accidents at the
mine"
you had better hurry" replied
Hinkle's son knowing the dangerous
situation in the mine.
-Four years ago eight miners were
killed and thirteen wounded by
gas explosion at the same colliery.
The state investigation committee
completely absolved the company at
that time. 1t is obvious that the
state bears equal responsibility for
the criminal death Of those killed
in the recent explosion.
Complaint Meant Discharge
Continuing the interview the
miners revealed that they were
compelled to work in gasSy places.
Any complaint would usually mean
instant discharge. The company
in its desires for additional greedy
profits, did not live up to the %
feet of cubic air prescribed by the
state mining laws. Instead the
company installed compressed air
system, commonly called by the
miners the push compressor"
This system did not provide for
withdrawal of any gases or foul air.
The explosion originally took place
at the sixth level and the gas shot
up to the fourth level due to the
push compressor" air system. IF
the ventilation was that prescribed
by the mining laws all lives would
have been saved.
However, it is known fact
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1935-01-30

amongst the miners that these laws
are continuously violated by the coal
operators, and are assisted by the
state officials, who usually do not
enforce these laws.
Equal responsibility is shared by
the U. NJ. w. A. district and ma
tional officials, who upon many &C.
casions have totally ignored the
complaints of the miners and re-
fused to take action for the install
lation of safety devices in the mines.
Human Lives VS.. Profits
Installation of proper safety de-
vices requires additional expenses
for the coal operators. AS in the
case of the Gilberton Colliery,
human lives meant nothing to them
when it came to increasing their
profits. Many Of the miners who
came out alive we're burned beyond
recognition. In some instances
relatives were not permitted to view
the bodies in the caskets as they
were a CHASTITY sight. John Murphy,
