American by forcing the workers through wage cuts, and terroristic methods into a condition of starva- tion, of peonage. The mill runs on a average of 3 days a week, the cut makes the wages $2.40 per day, thus the weekly wage, ts $7.20. The Company runs a boarding house and also a store, to accomomdate the workers, and how they do accommodate him by: issuing tin money, thus forcing the worker and his family to purchase the necessities of life, at the store, where two prices are charged, the boarding house charges $1.20 per day, $8.40 per week, so in order for them to pay board they are given some extra work in the yard, thus all wages go back into the pockets of the company. These conditions comrades are characteristic of the lumber industry 400 daily. Los Angeles, Calif., finds 200 copies left daily, due to the irresponsibility of the old Daily Worker agent, and Rose Spector, new representative, writes vhat “in order to avoid accumulation of Dailies we are forced to cut down the bundle order from 350 to 250 for the time being, until this de- partment is reorganized.” Since bundle orders cost 1 cent a copy and sell for 3 cents, the price of the bundle is covered is only one- third of the entire amount is sold. Instead of chopping a bundle order, districts should tighten their groups of unemployed workers, draw more into selling the “Daily”; should strengthen the section and unit ap- paratus for Daily Worker activity, The present economic situation throughout the country demands mass circulation of the Daily expenses at the same time are wel- come, BROWNSVILLE I.

On the other hand, the “Daily” cannot continue to print an average of 39,000 papers a day unless they are paid for. Therefore, those districts which so promptly decided to take the cut, should look to their organizational machinery and correct this wrong | approach to the financial problem. HUNGER MARCHERS AT N.
