Daily Worker, The workers throughout the country have no doubt heard of the “great army of young devil-may-care lumber workers in the Evergreen State. “I would like to let them know about some of our rotten conditions here, We have received three wage cuts in the last year at the Carlsburg Mill. We are speeded up, forced to pay insurance from which we receive no benefits. We do a two man job and yet the bosses say they are losing $200 a day, but they continue to run because they hate to see the« workers starve, and they expect the workers to believe that, ‘The last wage cut was from 60 cents to one dollar per day, and as we only average about 9 to 10 days @ month, you can see what a hell of a time we have in trying to pay 36 dollars for room and board each month. ‘The workers have become very mil- itant on account of the last wage cut and as @ result one of our best fighters was fired. He tried to or- wanize the workers. This is one of the ways the bosses try to spread terrorism among the workers. They try to prevent the organization of the workers here, but the workers realize that the wage cuts are made as a result of capitalist exploitation and are organizing themselves.

Dear Comrade: Will write you a short note of the bad conditions in this city. A special committee of the League of Struggle for Negro Rights called on a chain store or- ganization, the Standard Grocery Co., in this city and asked if they would employ Negro help. The answer they got was “Hell with the niggers.” If that is what they want the L. S. N. R. will see that they get plenty of hell.

Many times a colored worker is ex- perienced and can do the job well but he does not get a better job. At the same time @ white worker who hagn’t even “touched” meat, before he got the job, gets a better job or some faver from the boss in the short time that he works, while the eolored worker gets nothing. We workers ought to get wise to this scheme of the bosses.

There is also q branch of the LL.D, here, which is progressing rapidly, The workers here are very young and are very militant. They have become yery active and are not dis- appointed at the wage cuts which are being given them as a hope of the bosses that they will quit them- selves, since they are afraid to fire any more. But these workers are not being bluffed, they have realized the necessity for a class struggle. ‘They say they will continue to fight for the working class and are using the Daily Worker as a method of or- ganization, since if has helped or- ganize so many workers here. They realize that the Daily Worker is the enly working class paper. —A Young Worker, poor, starving workers and disabled yeterans, Here in Dayton, the conditions are terrible. They have one of these so- called welfare organizations who hand out fake street work jobs for $3.60 a day, for which the worker may only toil one day out of the week. There is also a man named Tefferson who has opened a kitehen for unemployed workers where they | serve rotten soup. This man Pat- terson is one of these grafters who has persuaded the Veterans Home officials to foree the disabled vet-| erans out of the home to make room for his officers and nurses. ‘The sales of Daily Workers are going good.

The kidnappers sat in the police station while they waited for the comrades to be re- leased, George Clifton Edwards, the attorney hired by the International Labor Defense to defend the com- rades, has already served a day in jail and paid a fine of $35, imposed by a boss court for defending these comrades in court. Other fines amounting to $95 were remitted. ‘The bosses resent the speches of Codey and Hurst exposing the op- pression of the Negroes and advo- eating full equality for the Negro masses. ‘The Trade Union Unity League has sent a telegram to Governor Ross Sterling sharply protesting this latest outrage at the hands of the police of Dallas, The League, in a statement to the workers, calls for mobilization of the entire working class of Texas, Negro and white, against this new wave of terrorism, against the attempt to frame up the leaders of the unemployed demon- stration on Feb, 25. Arrested At Demonstration. Coder and Hurst were arrested in the ynemployment demonstration here on International nemployment Day, Feb. 25, The demonstration was attacked at the very beginning and smashed by the police, Twenty were arrested, including Negro and Mexican workers. Five were given suspended sentences; Hurst, Coder and another, William Grove, were held on vagrancy charges. During the trial the two militants made vigorous speeches, denouncing the staryation 6f the unemployed and the discrimination against. the Negro and Mexican workers, The judge threw every obstacle ri the way of the defendants, and when their lawyer, Edwards, repeatediyob-_ jected to the way the defense was interfered with, he was sentenced to one fine after another, and. aise to a@ day in jail “for contempt of court.” Beaten In Jail. ‘Then Coder and Hurst were fined | $50 and released on an appeal bond.

The prize fighter beat his face to a pulp and blinded hi min both eyes. Hurst was once more arrested shortly after this, was accused of distributing Communist literature and speaking at a protest meeting against police brutality during the unemployment demonstration. He was thrown in jail, where the same group of the sheriff's lick-spittals as- saulted him in a body, gaye him a terrible beating and broke his nose and perhaps other bones, Handed to Lynchers, ‘The eatin bgup of the two workers in jail took place on Thursday. Thursday night Coder and Hurst. barely able to walk, were “released” | with their attorney, Edwards, right | into the hands of a lynch gang that had assembled in the office of the jail, and which loaded them into cars and took them inta the country. ‘The case of kidnapping, and prob- able murder, is so flagrant that a group of attorneys here, and the exe ecutive committee of the local bar association hes had to denounce it, and has made a formal petition to Governor Sterling to offer a reward for the finding of Coder and Hyrst and apprehension of the lynchers. ‘This terror against the leaders of the unemployed is not new, but is a and aggravated case. The working elass as a whole, employed and unemployed, must rally to the demand for immediate relief for the Jobless, for organizetion of the un- employed into councils and of the exploited workers into the militant unions of the Trade Union Unity League. The fight must go on against wage-cuts, against race per- secution, against unemployment. That is the fight for which Coder Gonzalez, a Mexican timber cutter. and Hurst were tortured and for which they have probably died, CUT THIS OUT AND MATL IMMEDIATELY TO THE DAILY WORKER, 50 E, 13th ST., NEW YORK CITY.

GARVEY MOVEM'T IN COLLAPSE (CUNTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) of Garvey’s eloquence has failed tq convince them that he has the righ@ | to cash in on the properties of th# organization. So deep is this mass anger thai Garvey’s local lieutenants who, liké all his helpers wore formerly forced to accept the role of submissive rub- ber stamps in order to retain their jobs, are now emboldened to the point of opposing him in committees. Gar- vey has been openly blamed for the bankruptey of the organization and has been several times asked to re- sign so that others of his reformist crew might take control and try to re-establish their pernicious influence over the Negro masses. Opposition Grows. The decision to cash in on the properties of the organization and retreat to London to enjoy the spoils was Garvey’s answer to these de- mands for his resignation. This deci- sion has aroused the fiercest oppo- sition in the island, both on the part of the masses still under the influence of the moyement and on the part of Garvey’s fellow reformists who see themselves left out in the cold if Garvey succeeds in realizing for his personal gains on the property of the organization. This opposition is bound to have its repercussion in the Uni- ted States. Turn to Communism. The disintegration of the Garye> Movement began long before Mareus Garvey was sent to Atlanta Prison. The process of disintegration speed- up while he was in prison and re- ceived great impetus when upon his release and deportation he removed the headquarters to Jamaica in pur- suance of his policy of keeping the organization in his pocket. The break-up was further aggravated as a result of the economic erisis and the increased sufferings of Negro masses. Thousands of members see- ing no benefit in the organization which had no program for a struggle | against unemployment and stravation save the usual illusions peddled by the Negro bourgeoisie of building Ne- gro business (for the bourgeoisie!) began to quit the organization and seek other channels through which to express their fight for the night to live. Hundreds joined the Com- munist Party, recognizing in it the only force really leading the fight for Negro liberation and against the bosses hunger system. ‘The remoyal of headquarters to Ja- | maica threatened to cut off financial support from Garvey's fellow fakers |who remained in the United States and this lead to a bitter factional fight with BE, B.
