The more radical of the farmers now regard Brookhart as a traitor and one lead- ing farmers’ organization recently refused to give him a hearing. The Communists are getting out a special leaflet exposing Brookhart as a traitor who camouflaged him- self with progressive colors only to flop over into the camp of extreme reaction when an opportunity pre- sented itself. +. See Comrade Jakira, district organizer in Pittsburgh, reports that the Dis- trict Committee has sent out in- structions to all Party units to se- cure permits for open air meetings in their respective cities or towns. Efforts to secure the public school’s auditorium in Pittsburgh for the Gitlow meeting on September 7th have so far proven fruitless, but when the authorities were advised that a protest would be made against this discrimination against a work- ingelass political party, they asked our comrades to make out an ap- plication. Pittsburgh is a strong- hold of the Mellon interests and the open-shop coal and steel barons. The radio broadcasting station is now controlled by the big department stores, and their owners are thoroly reactionary Contributions to the $100,000 Communist Campaign Fund are pouring in. This fact is published, not to serve notice on the supporters of the Workers (Communist) Party ticket that they can now rest on their cars, but in order to stimulate them to increased activity. I will} just quote from two letters, one | from a 76-year old compositor and the other from a hobo. The com- positor writes: ‘Enclosed find one measly dollar. Don’t waste postage on me. I am an old man (seventy- six) and work’ at my tratle for a bare living. If I can raise another buck, you'll get it. I have made a note of your address. Good luck to you.” And the hobo writes with his contribution: “This is from an old sympathizer for the Socialist Party, but it turned yellow.

Yours for a workingelass government.” SOUTH ORANGE, N. J., Aug. 28. —Thomas Feeley, a worker employ- ed by the Public Service Company here, was electrocuted today when he came in contact with a live feed) wire that had been left uncovered in the field where he worked, ted to enter the meeting. And I inquired ‘as to the reason and the only thing I could find out was that they had all paid up dues cards. And that Broach gave orders not to let them into the meeting. He must have feared some of those member: if not all of them. members whom Broach is keeping} out are in a position to show his rascality up tothe membership. You know that he does not like any-| one that can debate with him. Well, I got into the hall after I} had to pass along a line of thugs on the stairs, and I settled myself in| the front so as to be able to see and) hear all that was going on. The meeting opened and the chair-! man or whatever he is, turned the meeting over to this man Broach. Broach talked about everything un- der the sun but he never answered those questions, only threatened the membership with a raise of dues. But from where I was sitting I could see that he was honestly beaten on the vote. Hogan just sat in and grinned when Broach said that Hogan was an honest man. I was a very surprised man to hear Mr. J. Solomon try and defend his masters and at the same time attack the readers of the Daily Worker. The dirty and filthy language that he used would not have been used yy the vilest man, let alone a labor official. Is not this man Solomon the same gent who was so glad"to hear that Hogan hadsto go to jail? Well, 1 guess that $100 a week has change his heart. While Broach was seemed very the sweat on his forehead was very noticeable. And what a lot of butts he smoked! I guess he was afraid that the masses were ready to give him the air. Broach sure has some fine collec- tion of animals around him under the guise of officers. Some are jail birds and -book-makers and what not. During his “Caesar” talks he stated that he controlled New York City’s electrical license board through his charts. It is possible that Tammany has turned over this board to that carpet-bagger. Well, after the meeting the mem- bers were talking about the ques- tions in the Daily Worker and some said that Broach was surrounded with stoolpigeons. years ago one of his present officers worked for Burns Detective Agency; also one of his present field force worked for the Kenney Agency right before he came into Local 3.

Stace DAILY WORKER 26-28 UNION SQUARB NEW YORK, N. Y. .for........Daily Workers Red and Perspiring, Electrical Correspondent Says SALVATION ARMY ‘The Big Pond’ at the Bijou WORKERS PUTS COMMUNIST Discharged for Aiding Miners’ Relief (By a Worker Correspondent) 10S ANGELES, Calif. (By Mail) —The salvation army’s industrial home for men has once again showed its true colors an agent for the bourgeoisie. Th‘s time they discharged a member of the Work- ers Party for participating in the recent drive for the National Min- ers Relief and for attempting to organize a shop nucleus among the employes of the home. These indus- trial homes here hire unemployed men as truck drivers to pick up old clothes and paper until they obtain employment. It was the hope of this Comrade that if he organized a nucleus whenever the men left the home they would organize similar nvelei in other places. The reason I am sending this cor- respondence to our paper is that there are plenty of workers in Los Angeles who read the Daily Worker and who give these papers “and magazines to the salvation army. I suggest’ that the next time a sal- vation army solicitor calls at your house for papers or magazines €urn him down and let him know that it was because his organization dis- charged a member of the Workers ‘Party. Show’ them the solidarity of labor. I might also add that the salva-| tion army is buying fifteen new \Ford trucks and two new Ford se-| out of Ohio by the Rotarians.
