food. We do not utilize the nitrogen
that is in the air-the amount in exA
pired air is the same as that OF, in.
spired air. 1t is a very inert chem~
ical., The nitrogen that is cast on
is mostly in the form Of urea" ex"
creted in the kidneys. =,
The nitrogenous equilibrium may
be maintained at many different lev~I
els, depending on circumstances. II
the nitrogen in the food is low. the
nitrogen cast out becomes low and
vice versa.
Balance Essential to Life |
But there is a certain pointsBeyond
which this balance does not go. The
tissues of the body are constantly
breaking down and being cast on IN
the form of nitrogenous end PROD
ucts. IF this amount is not supplied
by the food, and more is going out
than is coming in, the nitrogenouD
equilibrium is broken, and if the con-
dition continues for any length OK
time, death will result. Everyone iS
familiar with the emaciation. which
occurs at the end Of long fever Or
other wasting illness. This is ths re-
suit Of heterogeneous imbalance. And
it is easy to see that this nitrogenouS
equilibrium is essential to life.
How low can the intake of nitro
gen be and still be compatible with
life? We know of the experiments
Of Hindhede, in Copenhagen, who
maintained a laboratory worker on
diet of potatoes and margarine. He
had to eat a large amount .of this
mohotonous diet and even 30 it was
found he was only obtaining - grams
of protein day. .1.si
Most of us use four or ave times
this amount, and as a result, most OF
our nitrogenous intake is waste. It
is instructive, however, to see how
quickly and completely the nitro
genous balance is restored by the
body as the nitrogsnouS intake
goes up.

A Traitor to Labor

MGR. DANIEL j. TOBIN, president of the
III A. F. of l.. Transfers Union and no.
torious red batter" has Just contributed
$4,000 of the workers money to help de-
fray the deficit of the Democratic Party.
He accompanied his check with letter
lavishly praising the Roosevelt New Deal
The Roosevelt administration and it's
whole company union apparatus is under
heavy fire from workers in strategic in
dustries. Even President Green of the A.
F, of L. and John L. Lewis of the United
Mine Workers of America have been COM
PEELED to utter sharp words about the anti
union policies of the administration, and
have singled out Donald Richberg for
special attack.
And Roosevelt, rushing to the defense
of his aide-de-camp, has made an open at
tack upon the entire labor movement by
defending Section IA. which made COM
pany unionism Furnishing activity.
1t is at this point that Mr. Tobin comes
forward with his certified check and full
some praise for the Democratic Party
Can treachery to the workers and sub
servience to capital go further?
Tobin's shameless action shows the
real character of the "non-partisan" po-
litical policy of the A. F. of L. offcialdom.
It reveals the urgent need for a genu-
inc class Labor Party which would put
these scavengers in the labor movement
to rout and carry on a relentless struggle
for the rights of the American working
class.

I also noticed that some readers had
written in, praising why Commu-
nism,' by Olgin, and I made the
journey to the Workers Book Store
and purchased this book. In the
book found an answer to the very
problem I was confronted with all
along-the problem of finding a
way out of the present depression
and our role as national guardsmen
in strike areas and in war time.
I, and most of all the other bud
dies I have given the book to, clearly
see the position we are now in, but
we are determined, now that we are
in, not to leave the Guards until
we see this damnable farce played
out to q finish, for among other
reasons, we have in the ranks many
honest working lads, who, if APP
preached in the right manner and
spirit, would Fundamentally work
for the destruction of the system
that holds them in bordage. I am
sure the same holds good in the
Army, Navy and Marines.
Now I am sure there are many
readers of the Daily Worker who
know some friend in some one of
these four forces. I have talked to
several men in the National Guards
and indirectly asked them the Ques-
ton, If they knew any Reds" and
without exception, each one did
know one or more, but unfortunately
1 met many who we're not impressed
by the program of the Communist
Party as outlined by the particular
person the soldier met. Many, on
the other hand, were impressed.
To avoid the mistake in the fu-
ture of imparting the wrong mean
ing of Communism verbally to these
men, I would here suggest that all
readers of the Daily Worker who
might happen to know worker in
either the National Guards, Army,
Navy, or Marines should take it
upon themselves to pass on a copy
of Why Communism" (Which
understand is soon to sell in five
cent edition., and I assure you that
money spent in this direction will
reward you one hundred fold.
Remember we are workers en-
gagged in a basic capitalist industry.
We are human flesh cutters for the
bosses, and the working class is the
body they want us to hack.

Preparing for War

WHEN it comes to war preparation, the
" Roosevelt government splurges in the
most extravagant manner.
For example, Rear Admiral Christian
JOY Peoples is proposed to head the Ad-
ministration's so-called new works pro-
gram, with its proposed outlay of $4,000
100000.
Now an old admiraPs mind naturally
turns to thoughts of battleships, and war
planes. And that's precisely why he is
chosen to supervise this gigantic sum
to see that the munitions manufacturers
get the most of it.
Doing his part in the New Deal war
scheme is Gen. Douglas Macarthur, who
proposes to more openly militarize the
C.C.C MacArthur's idea is to force 1OO,-
600 youths in these camps to undergo in
tensive military training for two months.
Clearly, Roosevelt is preparing for war.

A Del Strip Open to
Chauvinism Charge
New York, N. Y.

New York, N. Y.
Comrsde Editor:
1t seems to me that your cartoon
of Little Lefty in the issue of Feb
ruary 5 of the Daily deserves
sharp criticism, 1t is all right to
have a similar idea in regard to
Lefty chat is, reluctance to bathe,
etc. but when applied to Peanuts,
the little Negro boy, it is absolutely
impernissible.
If a worker who had never seen
the Daily Worker before were to
read this cartoon, it would have
been indistinguishable from any
anti-Negro cartoon in a capitalist
sheet Can we depend on "explana-
lions" and produce former issues"
of the paper, ETC.? This is ridicul-
Gus. Our paper should never be
placed in a position where the re-
formists and other enemies of the
working class have such a grand
opportunity to distort our meaning
and intention, to say nothing of the
effect, as aforementioned, on a new
reader.
It is unnecessary to go into the
fact that such cartoon as under
discussion here only serves to sup
port the anti-Negro lies and sland-
ers Of the capitalist class, that
Negroes are dirty" etc. Del, with
such large group of readers of
his comic strip, should especially
take care to see that no such errors
are repeated.

Beside Still Waters''

THE "Kiplinger Letter" issued from
1 Washington, is a special service for
business men. It is not intended for mass
consumption, and can therefore afford to
be frank from time to time.
In its latest message to business the
Kiplinger Service has few meaningful
words on the activities of Father Cough
lin, the radio priest.
Father CoughIin, despite his wild
talk" says the Kiplinger Letter, SIS re-
garded in Washington as less radical in
his ultimate purpose than he sounds.
He uses demagogic methods to lead the
mob, but he hopes to lead it beside still
waters"

Defeat Fighe's Excursions

MIKE TIGHE, president of the Amalga-
III mated Association of Iron, Steel and
Tin Workers GA. F. of L., has launched
a campaign of expulsions designed to en-
force his traditional policy of refusal to
organize the masses of the steel workers
Tighe threatens to revoke the charters
of seventy-eight lodges and expel four
hundred union members who took part in
a conference of the A. A. locals on Feb. 8.
This conference, called in accordance
with the A. A. constitution, decided on
mass campaign to build the A. A. and to
prepare for strike
The steel workers must at once answer
this attempt of Tighe to destroy their
union. Every district, every lodge and
every steel worker must refuse to obey
Tighe's wrecking expulsion policy which
would remove from the union all fighting
elements and the majority of the member
ship.
Every A. A lodge and other A. F. of L.
locals should Immediately adopt resoIu-
tons of protest to be sent at once to Tighe.
Every lodge should endorse the deci-
sions of the Feb 3 conference. Every lodge
and every steel worker should demand
that Tighe carry out the union decisions
and call the 60th convention of the A. A.
Every lodge should pass motions en-

Amsterdam, N. 7.
Comrade Editor:
Here's piece from Ebert Hub
bard's Scrap Book which may inter-
est you, a quotation from Abraham
Lincoln:
'Inasmuch as most good things
are produced by labor, it follows
that all such things ought to be-
long to those whose labor has pro-
duced them. But it has happened
in all ages of the world that some
have labOred and others, without
labor, have enjoyed large pro-
portion of the fruits. This is
wrong and should not continue.
To secure to each laborer the
whole product of his labor as
nearly as possible is worthy OBJ
ject of any good government"
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
This is an argument for Work
ers' and Farmers Government.

fascist bills designed to suppress

Three of the these vicious bills
are aimed at keeping the Party
from participation in the primary
elections; two more would deprive
every revolutionary worker of the
right either to vote or to hold Of

Other bills would set up a fascist
dictatorship in the schools and col

ganization would be suppressed and
under which students or teachers
who might criticize the capitalist
system and present form of govern
ment would be declared guilty of
a misdemeanor punishable by a

months in Jail

More Pressure for H.R. 1927

president ROOSEVELT is attempt
L ing to stifle an ever-growing mass de-
mand for the Workers Unemployment,
Old Age and Social Insurance Bill (H. R;
2827). He is rushing through the fraudu-
lent Wagner-Lewis Bill. This measure
denies the unemployed any jobless insur-
ance.
In order to make this wage-robbing
measure more acceptable to the employers,
Rcosevelt's spokesman have stated their
willingness to strike out all benefits to the
domestic, casual and agricultural workers,
a blow aimed especially at the Negro
people, Is per cent of whom are employed
in these categories.
While the hearings on the Workers
Bill (H. R. 2827) are under way in the
House Committee on Labor, and side by
side with the campaign for the enactment
of the Workers Bill by the various states,
every worker and his organization has be-
fore him the job of making the members
of the House Committee know of the ire
mendous mass support which is rolling be-
hind the workers measure.

ruptcy of the Wagner-Lewis Bill, which
gives not one penny to the jobless and
places its burden squarely upon the backs
Of the working population should pour into
the House Committee on Labor at once.

inal Syndicalism Law. These bills
If passed would outlaw every work
ing class activity. including organ
izing, meeting, speaking, printing,
writing, reading, displaying flags,
possessing literature, etc.
There is another bill which pro-
vides for the creation of a Bureau
Of Criminal Identification and In
vestigation for the purpose of fin
gerprinting and spying upon the
activities of working lass leaders.
Another would make it felony to
display red flag, banner, badge,
device, etc.
Workers and farmers from all
parts of the State are protesting
these Fascist bills and are deter
mined that they will not be rail-
roaded through when the legisla-
ture reconvenes the later part of

Headlines and Features
to Attract New Readers
by Chopper
New York. N. Y

INSW HOIki N ].
Comrade Editor:
MY suggestions for the improve
ment of the Daily Worker are,
briefly:
l. Only news that appeals to and
attracts workers not yet sympathetic
to the movement for the front page.
2. Excerpts from the works of
revolutionary writers on human re-
lations, education, culture, ETC., that
would appeal especially to women,
for the Home Life" column.
3. A novel in serial and short
stories, whenever possible, for the
feature page, and perhaps some
more cartoons and comic strips.
L would like to elaborate on point
one, with regard to headlines.
To any worker not close to the
movement, the headline the other
day, Benjamin Gagged At Hearing"
is just plain Greek, He doesn't know
who Benjamin is and what hearing
you are talking about Had that
headline read something like this,
Fighter for Genuine Social Insur-
ance Gagged At Hearing" it would
have meant something to him, he
would have been interested. If we
hadn't had this story, Mayor Plots
to Break Truck Strike" would have
made a good headline too.
One more thing: Do you think
that worker who has read the
Hearst papers all his life will feel
the urge to buy Daily Worker
when he sees a headline like, AL
Out on Union Square Saturday
Noon?" On the other hand those
workers who are class-conscious,
and participate in demonstrations,
are daily readers and would find
the call in a less conspicuous place.
For a mass circulation.

Party Life
Shop Fraction Work
Building a Slate
Ensuring Honest Count

EnSHrlng honest Count
VHE following is an excerpt
L from a speech by a COM
rade active in a trade union,
made at a Shop Conference in
Detroit:
eve started to carry on
our work leading up to the
election of officers in my local,
about four weeks previous to the
elections. We had a long consul
tation with the section organizer,
and built up a good fraction. The
fraction worked out plans on how
we were to carry on the work; we
decided on a program and decided
who should be on the slate. Of
course, all this work was done
through the fraction, in order to
determine who would be the strong
est candidate for certain positions
on the slate. The program was
drawn UP, introduced, accepted and
printed.
I'VE did not have enough in our.
group to have a complete slate. In
order to fill the slate we had to
maneuVer candidates on it. The
/ manner in which We did it was the
| following We first decided on those
whom we wanted to get on the
slate. Then we found the one who
/ would not oppose being put on the
slate. We contacted that fellow;
then went down the line and finally
these fellows were all on.
Then we had lot of work to
do. We had to contact men and
elect committees from the opposi-
ton, and had to make the right
kind OF an approach. Here is one
thing that think is good to know,
and that is on the system of noni-
mating candidates. With big slate
as that you have to have a system
whereby all these candidates will be
nominated Somebody can slip and
your candidate will not be noni-
mated.
In Our opposition meeting we
would give a certain name to a
comrade who he was to nominate
for that particular off1ce-instruct-
ing him that he is to nominate so
and 50 and no one else. The one
who had accepted to run for that
office was to decline all other noni-
nations for other positions. We
then called meeting of all the
candidates who were nominated.
The machine was so terrified be-
cause they knew that a bunch of
rank and fllers were fighting against
them, that they came up to the last
meeting we had and tried to get
in.
1t was necessary here to warn
the candidates that they should not
be too sure that We were going to
win; that 1t was necessary to go
out and get votes; baIlyhoo doesnt
mean a thing. You might lose BY
one or two votes; if you have a
friend brother, etc, bring them
down to vote.
1.-The machine was worried and
when 1t came to count the votes.
the president stated that we can't
count the votes until tomorrow. be-
cause OF the fact that he was afraid
they had lost But the candidates
took up the issue, and the votes
were counted there. We got PARTY
members on the election commit
tee and there was no dirty work on
the counting of ballots The count
was honest. I went out myself to
glance over the ballots.
The result was that In the final
analysis l did lose by two votes. and
l tied another fellow for delegate
to the Central Trades and Labor
Council. l know of some members
in my unit who came down To vote
without bringing anyone with
them"
