Incites Against the Crew Here again he collected huge sums ‘of money, and here again he incited the people against the crew. How- ever we were fairly happy, figuring we would leave Miami for New York. But Carter, with the feel of easy money in his pockets insisted on stopping at Jacksonville. And here's where the boat was nearly destroyed. We of the crew did not at all like the idea of going into Jacksonville. ‘We had heard many threats against ‘us in Miami, and we knew in Jack- sonville the Ku Klux Klan and cthers would have had lots of time to pre- pare for us. But with Carter’s at- titude of “to hell with the crew”, our protests were of no avail. As in any other capitalist concern, the workers were to pay the cost but to have no word to say as to how things were run, and we of the crew being “mere workers on the boat” counted as less than dirt in the eyes of the big ex- ploiters. Ship Invaded by Ku Kluxers The arrival of the “Booker T. Washington” in Jacksonville, Fla., met with the same enthusiastic dem- onstration on the part of the colored workers as at other ports, And Car- ter lifted collections and contribu- tions with the same easy success. In addition, he arranged several big dances on the vessel, charging a big admission fee.

Mayor Abdicates to Klan Carter, trembling with fright, was glad enough to follow our suggestion in this case, although he had ignor- ed our protests against bringing the ship into Jacksonville, and had in- sisted on endangering the lives of the crew so that he could make a few more collections. He went ashore to see the mayor, but the latter in- formed him the klansmen had taken things over and he could not inter- fere. Later that same night, the mob re- turned. We were all concentrated in the “Glory Room” at the time; when T noticed flashlights on deck and went out to investigate. I found the ship full of armed men, and got a glimpse of the night watchman, C. Beckford, rolling along the deck with a white man. I understand they caught him reading the Negro World and tried to beat him up for it. On| the pier there were many other white men, all armed with revolvers, Ii appeared that they had come aboard with the special purpose of doing away with Carter, and finding that he had run away, they tried to take it out on the crew.

Big Crowd | By that time the crowd had swelled to about 660 and the police told the comrades to “beat it.” This, of course was not our idea; Com- rades Pierce and Whidden insisted on telling the workers the reasons for the question and the real answer toit. For this they were grabbed by | the police and lodged in jail with | charges against them for violation of | two city ordinances, which later was | changed to a charge of rioting and | the prisoners turned over to the | county marshal and held under $500 bond.

The “Law” did not show up for the eviction and has not yet taken any action but contact is being kept with the threatened worker. We do not expect any conviction, the charges are too raw and the mass pressure behind too great. ; The charges are: 1, Getting on the running board of Hurley's car. 2. Cursing Hurley, 3.

Chicago has swung into the Daily Worker campaign for 60,000 circula- tion. John Williamson, org-secretary, writes: “We have decided to concentrate our efforts from Noy. 7 on to the first of the year on the drive. The ne district bureau is working out a defi- | nite plan of work.” Chicago circulation must be in- creased by 3400 by the first of the| year to meet the quota. To do this | there must be concentration on} selected factories, packing houses, | etc., for the sale of the Daily Worker | each day.

Every Party member,| every red worker must throw him- self into the campaign to make if successful, | | Out of jail and his first whoop 1s} for the Daily Worker. Mike Daniels of Sacramento writes: | “I was just bailed out. My first thought was for the Daily Worker. I am sending $20. Please discontinue the bundle of 50 copies and send us 100 copies daily. “I have lined up 4 unemployed workers who are on the job. Work is developing very satisfactory for a small town. We intend by the first of the year to increase our bundle to 200 copies.” Benny Anderson, “economist” of the Chase Bank, ejaculates: “I clieve we have overdone this scare.” What's overdone is boss ballyhoo. The nit-wits pretend the crisis wouldn't exist if nobody talked about it. A worker who doesn’t eat will still be hungry even if all the bosses blurt out simultaneously that the crisis is over- advertised. Bane for the hokum-slingers is the Daily Worker drive for 60,000. do O. Burr, Red Army Builder, says: “The boys selling capitalist papers can only shout about such worn- out things as scandal and gangsters; gangsters and scandal; scandal and gangsters. “We come along with the R-r-r-eddest in town! ‘Read the Daily Worker:’ ‘The Only Workers’ Paper!’ ‘Fight Against Evictions!’ ‘Daily Worker Foils Boss Grab!’ ‘Down With Injunctions!’ Those are headlines _ We've got for workers. Lots of them are glad to sce us on the job and ask where they can get the Daily Worker regularly.” The New York Times says, in the financial section: “Although a great many movements to relieve the distress of unemployment are under way, it is yet too early to see results.” Yes! By about a million years! Albert J. Jacobs, of North Braddock, Pa., says: “I have become so interested in the Daily Worker that now I can’t get along without it.

Burr ment, the police terror, the swindle of the Lewis miners’ union (Lewis supports the republicans) that tHe votes, though small, are triple and more the last vote (1928). In McKeesport incomplete returns show already 80 votes, where there were 22 last time. In Monassen, Pa., incomplete re« turns show 100 votes, where there were also 22 last election. New Kensington and Arnold to= gether give 100 Communist votes this year, against 16 in 1928, Parnassus, Pa,, has 17 votes and had 4 in 1928. Ambridge, Pa., shows 103 votes this year, and had 28 in 1928. The results show the great masses still to be won, but show also that Communist propaganda ts enlighten= ing them, and Communist leadership in the struggles of the jobless for ine surance and relief, of the workers for shorter hours and more pay, of the foreign born against finger printing, registration and deportations, of the workers and jobless in general against the war plans and the terror, is winning support for the whole Communist program. There is @ broader basis than ever before for organization and struggle. Tells of Jobless Youth Dying of Hunger Inglewood, California. Daily Worker Editor, Dear Comrade: In reading the capitalist press, I happened to read an article of some interest, telling of a youth of about 20 years of age, who was found upon the roof of a theatre building, pennt- less and hungry, waiting to die a | slow death.
