Even the often repeated | warnings of the Communist and} militant union press of the decline of the building boom and the failure of the A. F.

Dif- | ficulty of reaching the convention by the absolutely poverty stricken unemployed miners, and the fact that they must come mostly from small towns, often company towns, | i where it is hard to borrow means of transport, accounts apparently, in part for the failure of a larger miner delegation. Of unemployed agricultural work- ers there were seven, and a large number, 232, belonged to many dif- ferent industries not classified by the report. The delegates came from unem- ployed councils, but many of them also registered as belonging to other organizations. There were 379 members of the Communist Party, some of them new members secured through the struggle to organize the unemployed. There were 63 Young Communist League members and 26 Young Pioneers. From the various committees, unions leagues, groups, ete. of the Trade Union Unity League there registered 728. There were 36 registered delegates who are mem- bers of A. F. L. unions, and 239 registered affiliation to various workers’ clubs, language, fraternal, and beneficial societies. From The South. The largest delegations of course were from the closest states, be- cause of the financial difficulties of transporting delegates from farther away. From Illinois came 484 dele- | gates; from Michigan, 150; Wis- consin, 83; Ohio, 92; Minnesota, 73; Indiana, 56; New York, 53; Pennsylvania, 25; Alabama, 21; Missouri, 21; West Virginia, 21; California, 9; New Jersey, 7; Mary- land, 6; Washington, 6; Massachu- setts, 4; Tennessee, 3; Connecticut, 2; Dakota, 2; Kentucky, 1, and Rhode Island, 1. | The large delegation from Ala- bama, with three more from the ad- joining state of Tennessee shows} the alno hati of the South by the ! | dozen. | Editor | are | paper ) : < STEEL AND AUTO OUTPUT IS DOWN, Private Property Exists Only for Capitalist Class Chicago, Ill. The Daily Worker:— Will the American people never understand that tariff bunk? In order to bunk the farmers and get their votes, Mr. Hoover sponsored both the “farm relief” and the in sed tariff program, now enacted into law over his signature. Let’s see how these measures have and always will work out: reat is quoted today at the low- est price since 1914. Yet the gov- ernment appropriated $500,J00,000 about a year ago to bolster up prices of farm produce.
