S. HOSPITAL, SAN FERNANDO, Cal.—I am a disabled war man and have recently subscribed to your paper because my sympathies are with the worker and what he represents. With many years in the hospital as a reward for services to make the old world safe for the capitalists, it is more than right that I make my contribution to the cause, and help make it unsafe for further continuance of the present system. i My buddies who unconsciously have given their all so that the ruth- less bosses who used for their own ends their ideals of patriotism, instilled into them in the eatly years of their lives by the servants of a ruling class. These same men are still the victims of the ideology implanted upon their brains in their susceptible years and can not see where any injustice has been done with them and their kind, so well has the tenets of the capitalist been established with the status quo and let us hope that it can not continue this way. Is there anything that I could do as a fighter of the class struggle in consideration of my physical ability for if there is my whole being is dedicated to that ideal. May the future give us a foothold on the | defenses of the enemy so that the world will be rid once and for all of self aggrandizement in society. I know that and I can feel the breath of ruin of the present system. It is as sure as there is breath in my body, and not very much of that I assure you as my lungs are nearly gone, that victory is in our grasp and the fate of the world is in the hands of the workers.

This plant can at any time be transferred at any time into a war plant for manufacture of war mate-. rials. As a matter of fact until 1917 it was engaged in the manu- facture of rifles for the former Czar’s army. Up until seven or eight months ago the plant engaged about 5,000 workers. It was then manufactur- ing radio apparatus. Now only 1,500 are working. Such is the crisis here. The conditions are terrible. Wages range from 35¢ up to 80¢ for skilled machinists. Many women are working in the plant. They only receive from 20 to 25 cents an hour. We work piece-work in all of the departments. It is known as the group system.

Parson’s Letter Dear comrade Shavitz: I am very sorry for disappointing you by not being present at the con- ference. And also am sorry that I jam edging in payment on my Daily Worker which I receive every day. As Iam just at present out of work, and I am terribly in need for my family of 4 children and my wife. I hope the Communist organiza- tion doesn’t consider me a pulp or an outcast as my whole heart and mind is with it. And always will be until its rule will become original in this country. And I don’t mean I am only a sympathizer. But even if the time comes at this minute to fight I certainly would, as much as my strength would permit me against these big belly robbers, blood suckers. Here is a little piece about the Van Iderstine Co., Long Island City. I got a job there last night at 40c per hour. I worked 7 hours and I asked the boss for a little more money and I said I got 4 small chil- SHOP NUCLEUS IN DRIVE Detroit Unit Organizes Fund Our factory nuclei consists of five members. We started our task of building mass circulation for the Daily Worker by selling 35 papers in the shop and at the homes of workers. We now are selling 60 papers a day. We were everywhere well received by the workers. It seemed as if they expected us, wanted some one with whom to talk about shop conditions, unemploy- ment etc, So far every worker we approach- ed agreed to take our paper at 18 cents a week. The workers that had no jobs demanded it too, and said they would pay for all back number out of the first wages they got. interested. Our unit has created a fund total- ling $10. Out of this money the unit will send mail subscriptions to the Daily fo: those workers who were first approached, while we continue to collect 18 cents each week from them to replenish our $10 fund in order to again send in more mail subscribers, We now know that ,with the Daily Worker in hand, we are pressed into the kind of Communist work which every Party member must do, namely, approaching workers in the shop, in their homes, talking to them about the Party and T.U.U.L, about unemployment and the Soviet Negro workers were exceptionally Union. ing struggles in Philadelphia, the | need of strengthening of the al- ready established unions, the build- food and other industries, the ur- gent necessity of improving of our apparatus and the training of new cadres of leaders from the rank and file membership in the shops.

Solway on the work of the T.U.U.L., in the past months and Croll on the Red International of Labor Unions world Congress. Past experiences, mistakes, short- comings, achievements on the wa- terfront and among the clothing workers, the coming struggles for the organization of the unorgan- ized and the penetration of metal and textile factories, these and many more problems were thorough- ly discussd. The failure to build RTY more shop committees, the failure to build new unions on the shop dele- gates system right from the begin- ning, lack of enough work in the AF.L. unions, especially in the building trades, and right wing mis- takes and practices committed by our unions and minority groups were pointed out. Special attention was given bythe delegates to the or- ganization of defense corp. Many who in the past months have had their experience with the city police, gangsters, thugs and A.F.L. Fas- cists, showed clearly the need of defense corps. A committee of sven was elected to take this mat- ter up and to proceed with imme- diate organization.

Y.—Am enclosing two clippings from Buffalo news- papers, which tell how two burly brutes from the ranks of Buffalo’s “finest,” with supreme indifference refused to climb to the top of a high water tower and rescue two children who had playfully climbed to the tank top and became im- prisoned for three days and two nights when the trap-door clanked shut after them and made them prisoners. A worker, however, did go up and discovered the boys just twenty-four hours before exhous- tion, etc., would have killed them. The filthy and cowardly swine known as the “arm of the law” are heroes at the stupendous work of hanging tags on workers cars and I repeat, on workers cars. They are valiant at strutting around on horseback or swinging clubs over unarmed women and children. But when it came to climbing a ladder to a rescue, they displayed the yel- low streak of cowardly indifference. The children climbed up to where the cops were afraid to follow. Of course the usual “probes” and in- vestigations are going on, which can only result in the stupid brutes be- ing white-washed to a saintly hue.

After the strike I again returned to Chicago. Sometimes after that the members of Local 2, Chicago, and the locals in New York, revolted against their reactionary officials. Burkhardt and Gundt were the leaders in this revolt, posing as Progressives at the time. But they proved to be “progressives” that is fakers under a different label. Under their leadership the bakers got what? Twelve and sixteen hours a day and seven days a week work. One place, Miller’s bakers worked for seven years straight seven days a week. I was among the militants that helped expose the fakers. The clique went after me and expelled me. At a general membership meet- ing I was re-instated. But the gang watching for a chance, rode over allowed to defend myself. What's the lesson in this? The A. F. W. clique is of a stripe with the out and out bosses’ agents in the unions.
