Philly Finds Second District |THREAT WAGE Page Satisfactory; Cleveland _ Builders Start Bundle Order . ‘The reaction of the Philadelphia istrict to its second weekly edition (a more favorable than ‘ho first, and \we quote from a letter of M. Silver, Daily Worker representative there: | _ “Today's edition of the Daily ‘Worker is satisfactory. I am not ‘Gre whether this is due to the @mprovement of the page or be- cause we have adopted our concep- ton of what a district page can be im line with your correct argument tm today’s Daily ‘that the National Edition after all must serve the whole country.” Silver follows with a proposal that criticism of the district material should come not from the comrades th the district, but from the editorial department, with suggestions on how bo improve it, “In the campaign for district Rages,” he, continues, “it must be stated thét this is not a scheme how to boost the Daily Worker for record, but?that it localizes the Daily, mobilizes the Party for the building of the Daily, teaches the members in the Units how to sell Dailys on the street at least once a week, and helps develop a Sroup of workers lents.” Comrade Silver's points are valu- ble. Closer contact between the district and editorial department in- sures a better district page; and a ¥ood district page insures closer con- ‘act with workers in the territory. PATERSON RED BUILDERS REPORT Via @ personal ‘visit from Aaron Leib of the Paterson, N, J. Red Build- ers News Club, we were able to learn @ little stout the doings of the Club members as well as the Party. Secy. Irving Shillit, the thirteen year old in the upper right hand cbr- ner of the photo, is the best seller, averaging 12 to 15 @ day from his house-to-house route. So far, the | Club receives only 35 copies a day, | the only bundle for Paterson, since ihe Party there cut its bundle. Al Goldberg, one of the unem- ployed members there, comes in for a great deal of criticism for refusing to sell the Daily Worker, and E. Vafiades, section organizer in Paterson, comes in for even oo anert DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, FRIDAY, MARCH 6, 1931 more criticism for permitting this comrade to shirk his task and for allowing the Party bundle to be discontinued entirely. We want the seven young Red Builders to write us of their experi- ence and difficulties (if any) in sell- ing, so that we can help them spread the “Daily” in Paterson. MINERSVILLE, PA, ORDERS 5 DAILY “The unit in Minersville decided to order a bundle of five Daily Work- ers every day,” writes Steve Nelson of Wilkes-Barre, Pa. “They want to take them from house-to-house for a week and then go at the end of the week to try to get subs. We sug- gested this method to them and they are willing to try it.” A good suggestion, too. In canvas- sing for subs, remember to mention the two Daily Worker premiums. They've swung an argument many a time! Here are three members of the Paterson, N. J., Red Builders’ News Club, (Front) G. Leib, (upper left) Joe Shillit, and Irving Shillit, sec- retary. They now receive 50 cop- ies a day as a starter—a modest number for 7 members. We won't be satisfied until they increase their bundle along with their mem- bership. Take us up on this, Pat- erson!

Instead, most of the shops are still | runming short time and laying off especially the pipe shops, Cipco, Stockom, United States Pipe. The U ‘8. Steel Quarterly says that the bosses have invented a new way to make pipe which will shtow thou- sands of pipe shop workers—molders, pourers and foundry men, core mak- ers, etc, out of jobs. Instead of molding pipe—especially for gas lines the machine rolls a flat sheet of steel in 24 inches or whatever width pipe it is and it is automatically, electrically welded. Also instead of molding large seamless pipe & new method has been developed by which red hot bars of steel or iron are drapped around # core and stretched as long as wanted. It can be made from 25 inches up. This of course, means more profits for the bosses but more layoffs and starvation for the workers. Fire More Miners “In spite of the fact that there are hundreds of thousands of miners coal barons are still putting in new profits by speeding up those left. Automatic track loaders are now be- ing put in many mines and it’s a cinch will be put in the rest pretty quick, thus throwing thousands of loaders out on the strets to starve. One of the new automatic track loaders has arms mounted on chains which crowd the coal onto the con- veyor. “It’s plain that under this system new machinery means misery and starvation for the workers, whereas in the Soviet Union it means the 6- hour day for miners, month’s vaca- tion with pay, full sickness, injury, and unemployment insurance, as well as real safety conditions for the miners, “Right here the miners have got to get together and force the bosses to cut the hours, raise the pay, cut out the speed-up, and fork over some of the millions they've made out of our sweat and blood as unemploy- ment insurance, Join the National Miners Union and fight for these demands. ‘About 5,000 Jobless Workers In La Crosse, Wis. La Crosse, Wisc. Dear Editor: Kindly allow me to say a few words ih regards to the conditions ex- isting here. This city has seen a hard winter so far. In regard to un- employment there is approximately 6,000 jobless in this city . La Crosse Rubber Mills, the largest plant in town, work on half-day em- ployment of four half days per week.

Farmers Ask Relief _ ‘Those registering were forced to ' ave their Ife history together with the needs for relief. Many are re- fused relief because they own @ car or some personal property. The re- lief that is being granted averages about $5 per woek, regardless of the number in the family. Farmers have asked for relief by the dozens which has never before been known. Many indications show that the workers are ready to fal in line and organize a workers’ unemployment council. I have also learned that | standard of living even lower than | the present starvation level. 3,000 MARCH IN CUT FOR ALL STEEL TOILERS Bosses Want Profits to Go Up and Wages Down (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) plan. Here is the argument: “It must be realized that the steel work- ers already have been feeling the de- pression through lower weekly eatn- ings resulting from the ‘stagger’ plan o? employment which exists in most of the large mills of the country.” ‘This is the opening gun in @ mass wage-slashing drive in the steel in- dustry. We are told that “The next few weeks may prove to be among the most important in the steel in- dustry in recent years.” ‘This is a warning to the workers. The wage- cuts will come within the next few weeks. The workers must organize now to strike. ‘Wage-cutting is not limited to the steel industry alone. We have Aus- tin T. Levy, president of the Still- water Worsted Mills, speaking for the wool industry, admit that wages are going down. He said: “Unless we bring a different point of view to bear on wage reductions, the country is in danger of losing all the advan- tage in the general standard of liv- ing which has accrued in the last 20 years.” Wages, this boss admits, are going down to where they were 20 years ago. At the same time’ we get reports today of two wage-cuts: The Carls- burg Mill and Timber Co. has cut wages for 70 workers. The mill runs on an average of three days a week and the cut makes the wages $2.40 per day, or $7.20 a week. In New York, the Jewish section of the fresh-water fish merchants cut wages 20 per cent and at the same time laid off one-third of their | workers. This is just the beginning | of a general wage-cutting in this in- dustry. When the big steel wage-cut drive starts in, it will be a sweeping attack against all workers, pushing their CHICOPEE, MASS. Two Arrested ; Trial on March 10th CHICOPEE, Mass. (By Mail).— ‘Three thousand demonstrated for the ‘Trade Union Unity League demands for unemployed insurance and im- mediate relief from the local Chic- opee city administration. They as- sembled at Market Square on Feb. 27 and listened to Alex Brokas, the ‘TUUL organizer for Springfield and vicinity, for a half hour, telling them that the only way to force real re- lief from the city administration was to march en masse to the city hall, one block away. After he called for volunteers the workers answered that he should lead and they would follow. The speaker stepped down from the box and called the workers to follow him. Upon reaching the city hall steps, the massed police informed the workers that Mayor Cloutier would see only @ committee of five. ‘The speaker in an attempt to speak to the workers and call for a com- mittee, was immediately arrested, but four other workers volunteered to go in. When they reached the mayor they demanded that their spokes- man, Alex Brokas, be released. As the mayor saw that all the workers were behind the speaker, he ordered a couple of police to bring him up from his cell. As is usual, the mayor said that the workers could get charity and that the city Clara Bloom told the workers that they had right to hear what the mayor had said, whereupon two po- GANDHI LINES UP OPENLY WITH ° BRITISH IMPERIALASM AGAINST THE INDIAN WORKERS, PEASANTS Prediction of Daily Worker Now A Reality; He Will Support MacDonald’s Murder of Indian Toiling Masses Gandhi has taken the first, but substantial step, to com- plete surrender to British imperialism. The rich merchants of India requested Gandhi to end his so-called civil disobedience campaign. He was let out of his vacation in prison—an im- prisonment more passionately desired by Gandhi than by Mac- Donald—to do this service for British imperialism.

Gandhi would have preferred to hold out a little longer, to give the appearance that he is not capitulating so easily. But his financial backers, the real force be- hind Gandhi, the Indian bourgeoisie, called an abrupt halt. They realized that in face of the rising tide of mass violence they must cast their lot wholeheartedly with MacDonald, that is, with British imperialism. Gandhi had opeffed the way. The class lines are sharpening. Soon Gandhi will applaud the slaughter of Indian workers and peasants as in the interest of “conciliation, peace and cooperation.” Now Gandhi is working out the plans of the complete betrayal. The New York Evening Post correspond- ent in London reports: “Gandhi and Lord Irwin, Viceroy of India, are again in consultation and every sign points to the an- nouncement ofa complete agreement before the day ends which will permit the. civil disobedience campaign to be called off and the Congress Party to: join the Constitutional Confer- ence.” , ‘The London News Chronicle cable from India: says: “Gandhi has sud- back even in appearance was not mediate demands and forthwith de- clare an armistice on the proposals of the Round Table Conference.” So much for Gandhi, the “lead- er typifying the revolt of the Indian masses,” as the Lovestoneites put it, Gandhi's inevitable collapse, and his more certain support to the blood- bath for the Indian masses, does not sound the final note in the struggle. It opens up & new phase, The masses who are fighting not for a “consti- tution,” but for bread, for land, against crushing taxation, for the most elementary rights of human be- ings, will realize that the bourgeois Indian National Congress, with its Gandhis, its Nehrus, leads them back to the yoke of British imperialism. The growing industrial terrorist cam- | paign is a gauge of the growing vio- lent expression of the mass uprising. A new force has already entered the struggle. The Communist Party of India is in formation. A draft program, pointing the way for the} real struggle, has already been pub- lished. What this program foretold about Gandhi is now a reality. The bourgeois leadership will lose its hold on the masses. The revolutionary workers with the support of the great mass of poor peasants, will take the jJead in the relentless fight against British imperialism and its native bourgeois lackeys.

Cuvillier stated yesterday to the press that on Monday he would intro- duce a privileged motion to give the speaker of the assembly power to ex- clude any visitor he wished. Cuvillier declared::“The thing I am sorry about is that the state police did not use their clubs more freely than they did.” Ouvillier also said, “I’m sorry the whole gang was not arrested.
