DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, TUESD. Y, SEPTEMBER 9, 1930 Page Three WORKERS ANSWER ATTACKS ON LW.W. Stabs | Workers’ Bill Seattle, Wash. Daily Worker:— Comrades distributed “Social Insurance Bill” leaflets among workers on “Skidroad.” An I. W. W. speaker got one and read it | from an I. W. W. box. Don’t get excited! They didn’t endorse it, the speaker ridiculed it. This So- cial Insurance Bill is for all work- ers, yet the I. W. W. speaker | mentioned about “Coxeys Army” marching up to City Hall on a | wild goose chase. How any worker will ridicule and villify an unemployment bill like that should not be overlooked. Anyone who ridicules this bill is the worker’s enemy, do you un- derstand, the working-class en- emy, and that goes for the I. W. W_ leadership—Thompson, Ellis, Sullivan. After the I. W. W. speaker fin- ished his task of ridiculing the “Social Insurance Bill” to his sat- isfaction, his entire audience asked our comrades for a Social Insur- ance Leaflet and some who weren't so bold maneuvered around until they got one.

ANTHONY CAMASSO, Admit War Ts Imminent New York. The Daily Worker: —Dear Comrade:—I read in today’s World an article which I am en- closing in my letter and I thought that being from a republican French | paper it is one more proof for all| the workers that war and the race | for armament in all capitalist coun- | tries is so evident that even our enemies’ papers must admit the comedy of all the facts about peace being signed among them and they can’t be silent any more about it. | Ford Pushes His Candidates Detroit, Mich. | | Daily Worker:— Why did my boss take such an interest in my welfare within the last week? He actually gave me several photographs of men (repub- lican candidates). I asked him why he cannot be fair and give me a choice of all candidates alike who are running, and he had not a word to say. e Stop these bosses next time. Ask them who they represent when they come to you jokingly with pictures of well dressed men. The cards of the republican can- didates are passed around, not se- eretly but in the open in Ford’s, and a supply kept on the depart- ment bosses’ desks and exhibited under the glass plate on the desk in my department. wP.

'BUFFALO BOSSES JAIL 2 WORKERS BUFFALO, Sept. 8—Two work- ers who were arrested by orders of the Bethlehem Steel Co., on August 3 on private property where the Communists were holding a picnic, were sentenced yesterday to 25 days in the Erie county jail or a fine of | $25. The sentence was put through by the representatives of the Beth- lehem, at which even the district attorney had to be present at the house of the justice of the peace, Before opening the “trial” the dis- trict attorney had a half-hour con- ference with the judge. The defense attorney, overhearing this conversa- tion, demanded that the trial take place in a regular court room. His demand was summarily dismissed and the trial went through on Beth- lehem schedule and plans, All motions made by the defense attorney were turned down by the judge, who is a company tool. Al- though the case was immediately appealed, the judge refused to re- new the bail and the two comrades are now in jail.

BAR PUBLIC AT ANGELES RETRIAL LOS ANGELES (By Mail),—The Feb, 26 Unemployment demonstra- | tion retrial has begun. Ten work- | ers were tried in July. It vesulted | in the first hung jury in the history | of working-class cases in Los An- | geles, One of the jurors, Mrs. Maudin Ward, a nurse, was arrested and charged with reading a Daily Worker during the course of the trial. She had voted for acquittal, New tactics are being made by the courts. Because over 600 work- ers crowded the large court room during the last trial and demon- strated outside, the new trial has been isolated in a small court room with only enough seats for the de- fendants and witnesses. Among the defendants are Frank Spector, brought in from San Quen- tin, and Carl Sklar and Tetutsi Ho- tiuchi from Folsom prisons, where they are now serving 42-year sen- tences each for their part in the Im- perial Valley agricultural workers’ strike. The other defendants are Irving Kreitzberg, George Hoxie, Joe Holub, George Kiosz, Esumi Yamaguchi, Evelyn Martin and Rose Becker. Leo Gallagher of the Interna- tional Labor Defense is attorney for all except Sklar and Spector, who will defend themselves, Gallagher was threatened with ex- pulsion from Southwestern Univer- sity, where is a professor of law, if he continues to defend militant workers in court. This is not the first attempt to intimidate Dr, Gallagher. Last |he PROTEST EVIC- TION BUFFALO JOBLESS TOILER Police Could Not Break Meet Buffalo, N. Y.

Led by the Communist Party, the workers of the neighborhood, in the Black Rock section, staged a dem- onstration of protest against evic- tions in the front of this worker's home. Nearly one thousand work- ers gathered and listened with great attention and growing enthu- siasm to the various speakers, which included a young and very militant worker who lives right in that sec- tion of the city, Police Thugs.

Green himself summar- ized thé report as follows: “These reports show that in thou- sands of families where there are five, six or seven children, the av- | erage income for the entire family is about $600 a year,” said Mr. Green. “T am informed that the earnings of the average child under ten years of age amount to $98.90 a year,” he continued. “From the age of 10 to 13 the average earnings is placed at $158.70 and from 18 to 15 years of age at $198.70 a year. “The housing is bad, as the work- ers live largely in one of two-room adobe housese with primitive sani- tary facilities. There is an appal- lingly high death rate among young children. More than one-half of these contract laborers’ families sleep in one or two-room shacks, In one district, surveyed families of five, six, seven, nine and eleven were found living in one room. 5 in a Room. “The Colorado State Agricultural College made a survey and found that in one group of 292 families, there were on the average 5.12 per- sons per room. Out of 286 families, they found that 187 had lost 448 children through death. “There is little regard for the compulsory school laws in these bect stgar areas. In eleven rulal schools it was found that between 8 and 55 per cent of the children were out a whole month. In one county taken as a sample, twenty-seven out of every one hundred enrolled children were absent. “Contrary to the reports that the work was easy, the reports show that it is most arduous and taxing to the strength of these child work- ers. The lighter tasks engage tho children on an average of 9.4 hours per day, but thinning and weeding keeps them at their tasks from ten to sixteen hours a day in the ex- treme heat of the summer. “When the season ends, the work- trial, the bar association of Los Angeles threatened to expel him from the bar declaring him unfit to defend in a courtroom “the law that he advocates should be broken.” Last winter he was attacked by Hynes of the police Red Squad.
