Editor Daily Worker: Millions of workers have been thrown out of the factories onto the streets deprived of a means of livelihood, after piling up fabulous wealth for the bosses. Because they have no money to buy the neces- sities of life, and are in need of food more than ever, the bosses system dumps tons of fresh food stuffs into the river rather than feed those who create wealth and have nothing.

To the Daily Worker: May Field and Tillie Kelly have just completed the signature drive to place the Communist Party on the ballot in two more counties. They visited Kingston and Hay- erstraw both brickyard centers along the Hudson River. These two cities have a pov- erty-stricken( working class be- cause of the closing down of the brickyards, the main source of employment for the majority of the workers during the summer. This summer industry has only worked 2 weeks this year. This with only part of the workers, since in this industry also, machinery and speed-up has in- creased production while the wage of the workers has declined. LOW WAGES. There are a number of clothing factors where young girls slave for $12 a week and less. Here too there is no steady work. In Kingston the building trade workers are so dissilusioned be- cause of the misleadership of the A. F. L. that it is difficult to speak to them at first. They simply accept this situation and crisis with despair. But the brickyard workers who are all huddled together in one neighbor- hood, living in one room shacks with small windows to keep them from freezing during the winter and suffocating during the sum- mer have not been touched by such fake unions, which are inter- ested in better paid workers, The Communist Party which goes to all sections of the exploited worker is therefore welcomed by these workers. RESPOND TO PARTY. Although the Party 1s new to them when we spoke to them and Gave them the Daiiy Worker to read, they enthusiastically re- sponded to the Party that is linking up their daily struggle for existence with the conditions of the whole working class. The Daily Worker showed them what other workers were doing to bet- ter their living conditions. “nw Haverstraw the conditions of the workers are worse than in Hangovon as tae saccer larger city and has a few more factories. In Haverstraw the workers see absolutely no way to get employ- ment and have no means of leay- ing their fortunes elsewhere. We know that elsewhere they would find the same conditions. VOTE COMMUNIST! They vaguely blame this on the “Republican Administration.” When we explain to them the rea- sons for the present employment, permanent unemployment long working hours, low wages and the only solution that the work ers can hope for, they help us place our Party, the Communist Party on the ballot. We must continue using the election period as ¢ means of ap- proaching these workers but our task is beyond thai. We must educate them through our press, the Daily Worker and our language press. It is even necessary to send them this free of charge ‘till they begin to sub- scribe, We must begin «t this period to lead them for a fight to better their working conditions, for an unemployment insurance. We must prepare them for the role that American workers will have to play in the coming imperialist wars, so that they will not fight against their class interests. —MAY FIELD. Nearly $2,000,000 Johnstown, Pa. | Editor, Dear comrade: Enclosed I’m sending a clipping which I saw today in the Johnstown Democrat (Grace’s 1929 Pay was $1,623,753.00 probers reveal). We could see how the bosses and their agents are robbing the workers. And nobody can stop this robbery of the bosses except the workers. We could stop this by organizing in the T.U.U.L. and joining the Com- munist Party to fight complete emancipation and wipe out this |system of robbery for ever. A. FE. Rakeoff for Grace Insult Toilers: Seeking Aid at Hospitals New York, N. Y. | Dear Editor: I wish to show the workers that even where the capitalist class pre- tends to give the workers some aid, in their hospitals, they have tricks j\vith which to fool the workers. j__I entered the New York Eye and} Ear Hospital, 2nd Ave. corner 13th St. Upon entering, an attendant es- |corted me to a desk or counter, and |there a dear lady was hurrying the | bitterly-exploited workers for the quarters if the workers had them, if not, would tell them to go home and get it. Syrupy Social Workers In front of me was a fireman of the fire department. The dear lady, very politely said, “No charge for A. is an institution of the|you, sir,” directing him to another | ounter opposite to the one where ” we were standing where cards were issued. On this card, printed very clearly as a direct slander to work- jers who are unemployed, starving |and can’t find a job, especially dur- jing this Hoover prosperity—this in- |stitution is for the poor only. After you have been asked ques- tions, you are directed to the clinic where you are allowed to wait a couple of hours, where you are |pushed, shoved and then find your- self seated in front of the Doctor. few more questions, writes a pre- scription, then tells you what to do and how to do it. Because to give direct treatment would do away with the graft from what the poor slave buys in the way of medicines. Workers Must Organize These are some of the blessings of capitalism. How much longer are the workers going to allow the rotten conditions to exist? How much longer are the workers going to be blind and accept such condi- tions? The entire damnable system of capitalism weighs heavy upon the shoulders of the working class. Every worker should and must join the Communist Party and the Trade Union Unity League. Only then, united, will we, the working class, overthrow this rotten system |of unemployment, starvation, misery }and hunger. This does not exist in |the Soviet Union, the only Father- |land of the workers. Defend the Soviet Union, and read the Daily Worker. —Unemploved Food Worker...

So, one Sat- urday at 4:30, quitting time, the} boss gave the order that nobody| was to go away, but everyone had to carry his tools from one job to} another, one-half hour away without pay. All of us protested, but know- ing about the situation we decided to lose half an hour but not the job. There was one Negro worker. He | protested, too, saying he couldn’t| work for nothing. Then the mas-| ter’s servant said to this Negro worker: “You are too damn Bol- shevik, boy.

The | soldier returned to his former | status, an object of exploitation by the capitalist class, Lessons of the War. Let us draw a lesson from this last war and draw a comparison with present conditions. In order for the capitalist class to start a war, it is not only necessary for them to mobilize an army and navy, but also to prepare the minds of the public for this war, So we see before an actual con- flict takes place, all of the agencies of capitalism, the press, the church, stir up public antagonism against tack, Drumming Up Jingoism. All this was evident before the last war. When it became evident that to insure an allied victory it became necessary for the United States to enter the conflict, all these forces were immediately mobilized to mould public opinion. The sinking of the Lusitania was used as a pretext for entering the war, although the Lusitania, a cartier of contraband of war, could be sunk any time according to in- ternational law. The church took an active part in the agitation. War Conditions Here Again. The capitalist press was equally busy. They invented a new pet name for the Germaris—the Huns. German atrocities became the hobby of the day and through these combined efforts the mind of the public was prepared for the slaughter. Today we notice these same con- the movies, etc., being mobilized to | the country to be the object of at-| | ployed there are millions of other workers only partially employed.

Daily Worker: A few days ago I passed a street in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, N. Y. Reaching the corner, I came in contact with a socialist open-air meeting. I came at the very moment when a young man queried the speaker: “How will you socialists abolish private property”? The speaker replied: There sre four ways by means of which it could be accomplished, but I am una- ware which one of these devises will perpetrate it. The four ways are as follows: compensa- tion, confiscation, prohibition and education. Explanation: Compensation— we'll pay, for instance, Mr. Ford or Mr. Morgan for their property. Interruption by young man. How much, and who will finance you? No answer. Confiscation—We'll confiscate their property. Interruption: How, by evolution or usurpation? No answer. Prohibition—We'll prohibit to own property. Interruption: How, will you enforce prohibition. The same as prohibition of liquor? No answer. TO “EDUCATE” THE BOSSES. Education—We'll educate the people not to own property. In- terrupted: Why, the rich people like Mr. Ford, Mr. J. P. Morgan and Mr. Hilquit are educated enough, they should appear to be the pionéers of socialism and sur- render the property voluntarily? No answer, It seemed to the speaker, that so many questions given to him by a young man, he must be a Communist. Therefore the best way to dodge answers on such radical questions is to declare the meeting elosed, so it was, After the adjournment of the meeting, as usual, a few remained to diséuss matters over. One commented, he is a wonderful speaker but steeped ini demapogy; the other said: To hell with his beautiful phraseology we want facts, detion, and no words. While the discussion became ardent, one of the Whalen cos- sacks arrived and broke up the aftermath meeting. WORKERS NOW MILITANT. Lately we begin to see the reat contrast in the confidence of the workers to the preachings of the social-fascist party. Thanks to the workers of the U.S.S.R. and to their unprecedented sue- cess made in the construction and building up of their indastiers, abating unemployment, smashing and liquidating the remnants of petty-bourgeoisie and opportun- ists. Supplementing the econ- omical crisis, which is intensified daily, have proven to the workers that the promises of the capitalist and. their subsidies (soci: \s= cist) parties are only ephimeral. The workers of today are mili- tantly inclined; they are deter- mined to fight and defy the brazen, evolutionary illusions of the social-fascist party; they are determined to follow the preced- ent of their comrades in the U.S.8.R. The workers rally and unite shoulder to shoulder, rank and file to exterminate the de- eayed doctrines of capitalism and social-fasciam. The social-fascists are not out for the interests of the workers, but for their corpulent sleek in- tellectuals, They invafiably try to deceive the workers due to the fact, that they consider them- selves more intelléctual. SMASH SOCIAL-FASCISM. This Particular fact can prové, the role they played on the Swiss workers employed by the Amer- ican Bulova Watch Co. Théy robbed them right and left and facilitated their deportation. None in the world will stop the workers from (even the big fishes in the Fish committee) organizing themselves under hegemony of the Communist Party, and over- throw the parisitic capitalistic regime, clean up their agents (socialfascist), and to form a workers and farmers government.
