The price of com in Argentina is 35 cetns a bushel, a level at which the farmers cannct even begin to pay tneir rent to the landowners. ‘There is already an overproduction of corn, and thous- ands starve. ‘The farmers are leaving the land by the thousands. Especially the tenant farmers who find that if they har- vested their crops there would not even be enough to pay the landlords, have left their farms and gone to the cities. In many instances they leave the crop standing, and the land- lords cannot harvest the crop, as the cost merely of harvesting it would be greater than the price obtained in the market. The prices of wheat and flaxseed also haye declined to new low levels. Keeney and his following in West Virginia, are trying to form a new organization, to take the place of the “Reorganized” since that racket has been sold back to Lewis by Fishwick and his crowd. R So far about 20 locals (or-~rather their Howat officials) are endorsing the call for an “international con- vention,” to meet in St. Louis, Mo., about the middle of April. Among those signing the call, is- sued by Howat, are William Daech of Illinois and Powers Hapgood, two who betrayed the old progressive move~- ment in the U. M. W., the “Save-The- Union” movement, at a critical time— as indeed, Howat did too. Watt Signs Call. Another signing the call is John Watt, once president of the National Miners Union, and expelled by that organization when he was discovered building @ personal machine, and adopting Lewis policies. Others on the list of signers are William Stephanson of Michigan, William Truax of Ohio, James John- son of Illinois, and Frank Keeney of West Virginia. These latter are all members of the 1926 “Save-The- Union” progressive movement, but did not take part in the much more vi- gorous and realistic revival of that movement in 1928, which led to the formation of the National Miners joins the already long list of citles| year issuing lyjng statistics to mini- that are cutting off the paltry “re-| mize these outrages agajnst the work- Union.

Howat was there, and when it appeared that he had held a pre- liminary conference of a few of his henchmen in St. Louis, some one wanted to know who was there. Howat refused to tell. Adolph Germer, of the” socialist party, and formerly one of the Fish- wick “reorganized” officials, spoke, and it appeared that he had started out with Howat, but that Lewis and Fishwick had “got to him,” and he was in the Staunton conference to defend Lewis against Howat. How- ever, he got little support at Staun- ton. Jack Glasco; a board member from Belleville, spoke and he defended the court decision by which Lewis and Fishwick united their forces and divided the loot they take from the miners. Daeck spoke for the new Howat move, and attacked. Fishwick for his betrayal but, characteristic of the whole Howat movement, made no statement of program. “Save Our Salaries.” he whole Howat campaign seems to be an attempt of the old enemies of Lewis whom Fishwick simply threw overboard when he united forces once more with Lewis. Howat used to have a $5,000 a year job in the “Re- organized,” out of which he was re- cently jockeyed, and provision was made for him or the other Howatites in the Lewis-Fishwick bargain, Their program is obviously one of building some kind of organization now that will give them paying offices, and if they can build it large enough, they will be in position to do what Fish- wick did, force the international office to buy them out. The miners have nothing to hope for from this Howat movement.

Join the Unemployed Councils and Fight for Relief! Chicago, Il. Daily Worker: The conditions of the women in the Chicago breadlines and floy houses are outrageous. Starvation staring them in the face; some sleep- ing in the station, others walking the streets all night. Some of the flop houses are overcrowded, with dozens sleeping in one room, in three decked beds; no heat nor warm water to wash or take baths in the morning. They walk the streets all day in search of work, and if by chance they are sent out by the Government Employment Office, they are forced to accept the meager wages of two or three dollars a week. Fellow workers! Are you satisfied with the present conditions pre- ¥ailing in the midst of plenty? There are little children and suffering mothers who can’t even reach these miserable flophouses and breadlines. With all this misery on hand they are talking of closing these places so that they may starve the women more. We must organize side by side with the men against the starvation wages and long tiresome hours, against speed-up and lay-offs. We women must demand equal wages for the same work. We must fight for un- employment insurance instead of breadlines and flophouses. Wor! women! Organize into Unemployed Councils, which are affiliated the T. U. U.
