VIRDEN, Ill. - Three leading
members of the Unemployment
Council have Just been convicted
here on charges of melting to riot.
Five others were acquitted in this
case that arose out of a struggle
against the eviction of Galen SUIT
phin last August.
On August II, 1884 Sutphins
household belongings were placed in
an alley by the law for non-pay-
ment of rent. The house Sutphin
occupied, had been bought by his
father in 1921. In 1926 his father
took sick and borrowed 1921 on the
house. BY 1882 he had paid back
1924 and still owed 1924 to the
Building and Loan Association. His
father died and Galen and his
family of six lived in the house.
Galen is a member of the Unem-
ployment Council and is very active.
The constable and two thugs
came down to put his belongings in
the alley while his wife was to
become a mother and baby of five
was sick in bed. The Unemploy-
ment Council formed committee
to protest this action.
They went to the mayor and he
said he would get a house, but he
never acted. The next day they told
the mayor that if he did not get
a house for the Sutphin family, they
would set their belongings in the
city park, where a picnic of the
Progressive Miners was going on
with about $500 people present.
The mayor did not say that they
could not put the furniture in the
park.
At two o'clock they loaded a truck
with the furniture and moved 1t to
the park and placed it on the grass.
There were at least fifteen cons in

The Race Is Getting close!

I suppose all of you who read last

has happened since then in the
NEW PIONEER Drive.
Well, several things have hap
pened.
First of all, California is still
ahead, having already sent in $3.50
over its quota of $3.50. There must
be something in these stories about
how things grow faster and better
in the Westl
1t looks very much at this time
as though California is going to
get that $50 Bugle and Drum Outfit.
1t would look nice in the May Day
Parade, wouldn't 1t, on the broad
streets of Sunny California? For
that matter, it would look nice on
any street of any town Every time
we mention to New York Pioneer
that it looks as though CALIFORNIA;
going to get the Outfit, the New

Veteran Swindled
OF Relief
By a Worker Correspondent

BY a Worker Correspondent
NEW YORK; think you will be
interested in the following facts:
Stanley Howe, First Deputy Com
missioner, Veterans Relief Division;
Miss Flora Purcell, Chief Supervisor,
both of 902 Broadway, a precious
pair of key-position relief officials,
are doing their utmost to grind
deeper into the mire the unfortu-
nate dependents of disabled veterans.
Their diabolica1 traffic in human
misery is exemplified in my own
case. My husband is completely
disabled veteran of the world war
and have four children, the young
est being five years of age.
On these children carried small
insurance policies of five and ten
cents. Commissioner Howe demanded
that I surrender them to the de-
partment. This I refused to do until
Stanley Howe stated in writing that
my small allotment of SCI monthly
(for a family of six would be Sub
stantially increased"
I surrendered the policies and
Immediately upon signing them
over, Commissioner Howe struck us
off the veterans relief rolls.
Documentary proof Of the above
facts are in my possession, and yet
have faith that there are still a
few humans with courage enough
to raise their voice against such
horribly inhuman tactics.

class was put in the main building,
and the Board spent about a
$1,000 putting lights and steam heat
in the shacks. If these women had
not broken the strike we would have
won the entire demands. There
was Democratic committee woman
among them, who couldn't sign the
petition until she got permission"
from her ward" leader, and since
her child was in the ga class, she
had a good excuse to drop out
of the strike and help break it.
However, the fight will not be
dropped. Well try to mobilize the
next class to protest against these
Shacks.

Your Mothers Nervousness

IuhE MObHbE NeTVOUSEeSS
It is hard to advise you about
your mothers nervousness, without
knowing further details of it. In
general it can be said that soda
tives like bromides or pheobarbital
work in a superficial way. They
are of help in relieving the symp-
toms without influencing the causes
of the trouble. While they are
taken they may make a person feel
calmer and sleep better, but they
do not get at the cause of the
nervousness or sleeplessness. How
ever, they are often of great value
in mild cases whose causes are
temporary.
Bromides can be bought in a
much cheaper form than the eff
fervescent tablets your mother is
using. Five grain tablets of sodium
bromide can be bought cheaply.
Three such tablets are one dose.
1t is wise to take bromides only six
days a week. This is because bro
mides may cause a rash if taken
uninterruptedly over a period OF
time. This rash generally looks
like acne.
A good plan would be to take fif-
teen grains of sodium bromide in
the morning (six days week. and
a half grain pill of pheobarbital at
night The difficulty about taking
these drugs without being under
a doctors care is that often large
doses are necessary and large doses
must be watched carefully to pre-
vent bad effects.
The best thing your mother can
do is to go to a psychiatric clinic
(for nervousness. There is a good
one at Mt. Sinai Hospital, Tooth st.
and Madison Ave, New York City,
which may be attended daily at
2 p. m. If your mother is now
having her menopause Change Of
life) good clinic is the endocrine
clinic at Lenox Hill Hospital.

SLAvA DUNN will write on the
necessity Of group activity for chill
dren in a future column. Today
she speaks on disciplining the
child.
"A PARENT ASKS: Should
punish my child by striking him?"
There are few working class parents
who have not felt at one time or
another thoroughly worn out and
helpless in the face of a misbe-
having child. At such exaSperating
moments, few parents have self
control enough to keep from slap
ping the child, or worse.
"A TIRED MOTHER on twenty
four hour shift, needs mos Of all
q change Of her conditions, and an
understanding Of what causes them,
rather than preaching about self
control. But if she really knew all
the bad effects that may result
from physical punishment and how
little can be really accomplished by
It, she might try to change her
methods.
with a little child, a sharp slap
on the hand Is at times necessary
Il he repeatedly does something
that might be of real danger to him
49, for example taking matches,
running out to the street, turning
on the gas. etc. At that age, the
child usually takes the slap on the
hand more like q natural punish
ment" similar TO burn when
touching the hot stove. This is es-
pecially true if the slap comes
'automa tically" every time he does
the forbidden thing, and without
show of anger on the part of the
parent. But after the age of three
or Whereabouts, child can under
stand other things, and this crude
method should not be used in pun
ishing.
NO MATTER HOW YOU DO
1T, it teaches cruelty to child. He
learns through being beaten him
self that any big and stronger per-
son can hit a weaker and smaller
one with impunity. To some, more
sensitive children, it is quite a
horrible experience, and is likely to
stir up serious resentment, and
even hate in a child toward his
parent, which will make further
training much harder. Or it might
have the effect Of making him sub
missive and cowardly.
BECAUSE DIFFERENT TYPES
Of children take things differently,
there is still another danger in
physical punishment. With many
children, unless it is extremely Sc
we're, it does not make a great inn
preston, especially when often re-
peated. The child actually gets used
to it. and instead of strengthening
the parents authority, it really
weakens 1t in the child's eyes. Still
another type of child might get a
perverse pleasure from physical
punishment.
I'm THE U. S. S. r., they are
very determinedly against beating
children. All the Soviet campaigns
for better and newer ways of bring
ing up children, include warnings
against beating. Children in the
U. S. S. R. have the right to bring
complaints to proper authorities, if
they are beaten, usually to their
schools.
But since one hassto have some
methods of disciplining children, it
Is necessary to learn more effective
and advanced ways"
Next Saturday, SLAVA DUNN
will discuss these better methods of
correcting the behavior Of chill
dren.)

x-RAY TREATMENT FoR AcNr

X-RAY TREATMENT FOR ACNE
E. c., Of Brooklyn, N. Y, writes,
Il would appreciate some advice on
matter that has been troubling
me for the past few months. I
wrote to you asking for advice for
acne. You recommended Lotto
Alba, and vigorous scrubbings. I
followed your advice carefully. I
also kept strictly away from sweets
of all sorts candy and cake.
Though the Lotto Alba helped me
somewhat, it didn't help as much
as I should like.
"You see, my face is constantly
breaking out in blackheads and
pimples, especially on my forehead
and cheeks. I am not constipated,
but I don't get any exercise at
all"
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1935-01-26
Our Advice

The Lotto Alba treatment for
acne was recommended to you be-
cause it is simple to carry out and
requires no visits to a physician.
However, we always advise that. ex-
ray treatments are the only means
of producing a permanent cure for
acne-if you can afford them. There
are skin clinics in New York City
which give these treatments at a
low fee (S1-$125). If this is within
your means, write in for the adj
dress of such clinic.
1t is unfortunate that money
stands in the way of getting your
face cleared up, q thing which is
the right of every young man and
woman to have.
