DAILY WORKER READERS’ MEET PAVES WAY F (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE pointing out that ‘the workers are doped by the capitalist newspapers, especially the tabloids, and that it is the duty of the Daily Worker to smash the. préjudiceés instilled into them by the scandal news, sports dope, and other “easy reading” mat- ter by which the capitalist news- papers try to distract the workers from the class struggle. Several speakers charged the Daily Worker with exaggerating in some respects, but others pointed out that this was not true; that the Daily Worker in bringing out sharply the conditionsof the workers, in organiz- ing the fight against wage cuts, un- employment and against capitalism, does not take the fake bourgeois idea of “impartiality.” It reports.the facts of capitalism and many times they are so glaring as tn the present crisis that what is true appears as exagger- ation. Several recommended an increased paper on Saturday, raising the price for that issue to 5 cents to pay for the extra printing. Some asked for feature serial stories on the class struggle. One speaker said that the paper should carry more information that would interest the workers fam~- ily, his wife and children, so that the paper could be discussed in the home. Two criticised the typographical takes which sometimes are serio especially in the case of addresses that were. published incorrectly. One very serious criticism made, and recognized as a shortcoming by the editorial staff, was the laxity in reporting the conclusion of strikes. The example was given that the Daily Worker gave good, live reports of the strikes in the Eagle Pencil strikes are lost, these workers said, were highly praised by most of tne speakers. ‘They all liked Ryan Walk- OR IMPROVEM taking her last 18 cepts to subscribe | for a week after reading the paper a few times.

But as several staff members pointed out this was one of the most important features ever published by the Daily Worker, con- taining valuable information on the struggle of the colonial masses historic event in the fight against world capitalism. It was Said that the mistake made was to publish the Program without an introduction ex- plaining its significance, Many other valuable suggestions were made. In concluding, Comrade Landy pointed out that every sug- gestion made had been noted down; aat they would all be taken up at the next editorial staff meeting. This ‘meeting was a valuable controbution to the improvement of the Daily Worker. It brings us closer into con- tact with the workers who read the paper, and helps us greatly make of it a mass agitator, organizer and propagandist of the Communist Party in the major struggles which the :| workers'are conducting now. ‘We will have other meetings of this kind. The discussion was to the point all through. The staff members will consider all of the valuable sugges- tions and act on them to improve the Daily Worker—to make it a mass organ and a valuable weapon in the fight against capitalism.

A nineteen year old young worker, William Davis, from Bayonne, driven by conditions to steal potatoes on a farm in Holmdel near Freehold, was sentericed to Rahway teformatory last week, (This is the 17th of a series of articlés on A. F. of L. and political corruption in New Jersey.) ‘ . . . By ALLEN JOHNSON. The facts so far related in this series do not reveal a thousandth part of the corruption that pervades every corner of the state of New Jersey, yet none of hem have ever appeared in a capitalist paper. Surely news. that vitally affects the lives_of 99 per cent of a capitalist paper's readers is as important as the procession of fires, rapes and blackmail that con- stantly marches across the front pages of these papers? A complete answer to this question would entail a thorough probe into the very vitals of capitalist society, but a few facts will provide a partial answer. Let us look at Hudson County, N. J., for a moment. are news+ papers here, the Jersey Journal, the Jersey Observer and the Hudson Dis- patch. Each of them knows as much about Hague and Brandle as these two know about themselves. One of them, the Jersey Journal, is Hague’s avowed enemy. Yet not one of these papers has ever printed a single state- ment ‘to the effect that Brandle and Hague are bitter enemies of tie work- ing class and have sold out to capi- talists so often that Hague is now worth $25,000,000 and Brandle almost as much. Every Paper Bribed By Hague. Remembering that these papers will support either Hague or his rivals, and never the case of the workers let us see just how Hague has bribed them, including the Jersey Journal, which has recently stopped support- ing Hague and is now supporting sad republicans.

Those not cn his pay- roll are, with a few exceptions, on the republican payroll. These newspaper- men are listed on Hague’s payroll as inspectors, mechanics, anything at all, in fact, and nothing, too. The sport- ing editor of one of the papers is listed as a laborer, spats, fur collar and all. After he “took care” of the rank and file, Hague turned his attention to the publishers themselves. Their tax assessments were reduced to prac- tically nothing. The Jersey Observer building, for example, valued at $1,000,000, is assessed at $10,000. The next step was to issue full-page “of- ficial” proclamations at weekly or bi-weekly intervals. One full-page of advertising costs 2 lot of city money. Twenty-five or fifty such proclama- tions cost still more, especially. when these newspapers charge two or three times the normal rates for political ndvertising, as they do. Makes Million By “Improving” City. Now let us see why the Jersey Journal started to attack Hague a yea? or two ago. The Journal, a re- publican paper, supported Hague, a democrat, for two decades while he permitted Morgan’s Public Service, the Pennsylvania R. R., the Standard Oil and other corporations to enslave the workers of the county. The break came when Hague started to “improve” Jersey City, by tearing down a dozen himself, his friends and Hears ithur Brisbane—at Journal Square and forming a plaza to provide parking space for busses. Since the buildings were razed after condémnation pro- ceedings—always a lucrative source of \|graft—and since many of the busses that were provided with free parking more than a million dollars by “im- proving” Journal Square. ings that “had” to be razed was the dersey Journal building. Inasmuch as Hague had stolen a cool million in the deal, the Journal turned up its nose when Hague offered it $450,000 for its building, which was worth be~ tween $75,000 and $85,000. The Jer- sey Journal felt that it, too, deserved so many of his friends to make for- tunes on the “improvement” that it Was necessary for him to rebuff the Journal. Ever since then it has been his enemy, but not, as had been said above, so the workers of Hudson County could notice it. The Journal has confined its attacks to cultured sneers at Hague because his entire family, for example, with the excep- tion of a third cousin .is on the city payroll, and because the flowers in the Hudson County Park were per- mitted to die last winter for lack of attention. The Dispatch and the Observer, on the other hand, are still Hague's faithful supporters. They have found pretexts to praise Hague, these “workingman’s newspapers” do, when Hague tried to justify a taxi drivers’ lockout recently by saying that the drivers’ demands for $29 for a ten- hour day, seven-day week were ex- horbitant. Papers Given Stationery Contracts, Both the Dispatch and the Ob- by |server are given huge contracts for stationery. No one can sell the city of Hoboken, controlled by Hague’s ally, McFeely, a bottle of ink with- out first selling the ink to the Jersey Observer, which, after it adds a cer- tain sum, will’then re-sell it to the city. ‘The Hudson Dispatch supplies the state of New Jersey, as well as end of Hudson Richmond, | | I can't sub- | jscribe because I am forced to move | or crook.”--A Worker, Berkeley, Calif. | It happened that one of the build- | @ million.

The Observer, too, acts as a confidential adviser to Mayor McFeely in all his more com- plicated graft transactions. Hague has been such a valuable aid to the capitalists of New Jersey that when his political enemies, envious of his power, attack him, powerful forces run to his aid. Among these is the New York World, one of the big capitalist papers in America. The World has repeatediy defended Hague against his political “oppo- nents,” and when Hague asked the World Almanac to falsify some fig- ures which cast an unfavorable re- flection on the city’s taxation policy, the editor of the Almanac assented readily. It is “coincidental,” per- haps, that Hague recently appointed John Gavin, city editor of the World, to the position of surrogate, and that every member of Gavin's family, with the exception of his aged mother, has since been placed on the city's pay- roll, Just how much sincerity there is be- hind the occasional mild exposes of crime published by capitalist papers can be seen by an ingident that oc- curred recently in Asbury Park. The owner of the most important paper in the city puflished such an expose. expressing mild horror that men like Al Capone could continue to act as allies of politicians. The local gun- men immediately started withdrawing their deposits from the bank owned by the newspaper publisher. The publisher suddenly stopped publishing his “expose.” The gunmen brought their deposits back, and asked the publisher not “to pull any more fast. ones” because there were half a dozen banks in the city which were anxious ee their rum-running attivi- under | jare made about Chiang Kai Shek taking personal lead of the expedi-| tion..
