oy DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1931 _ Page Three GREAT WESTERN SUGAR ARRESTS 14 WORKERS WHO FIGHT WAGE CUT Beet Workers Clubbed by Police When They Demonstrate for Arrested Comrade Daily Worker: There have been many arrests here of our comrades. the 8th of this month, 14 were run in. Sugar company called the beet workers together on the night of the 6th. Of course Matics, the president of the company, was telling the men that the Sugar company wasn’t to blame for cutting farmers $1.50 a ton on beets, and also causing the farmer to cut the worker’s wages down to around #18 per acre, starvation wages. Our speakers heard of this meet- ing, and went there. Comrade Stan- cel asked to address these workers in Spanish. Mr. Matics told him to go ahead. Of course none of us wants such a cut a cut in wages, so the crowd paid attention to Stancel, and the President of the Sugar company called the police. Stancel was taken out of town. Presently other speak- ers called the workers over to another hall, and spoke, Speaks Again. Of course Stancel came back to ad- dress the men, at 11 o'clock. Several hundred men surrounded him, so the cops and stool pigeons were afraid to bother him, When the speeches were over, the cops slipped over to the hall and got Stancel when only a few men were around. At once, we called our men together, and 200 of us marched on to City Hall. About all of the cops in town were there to show their loyality to the Sugar company. The result was a fight. The cops clubbed a boy com- rade. An old comrade of 84, who Shirburne County, Minn, Daily Worker: At the annual Township meeting, this spring the farmers voted to dis- pense with the “Service Co.

Daily Worker:— I have become convinced of the fact that the great “liberal” Mr. Murphy, Mayor of our dynamic De- troit, is at the same time extraordi- narily suited to be called “fascist.” He has accomplished a very “fine” thing. The victims of the capitalist class robbery are kept divided so that the American born workers do not come in contact with the foreign born workers at the welfare offices. He has things arranged so, that the Minnesota Bankers Fasten Agents on Farmers Detroit Mayor Forces Race Segregation Denver, Colorado. On The Great’ Western could hardly walk, broke his big heavy cane over the head of our great city detective, knocking him cold. This poor old man is in jail yet, with 10 others. Many canes are waiting for his re- lease. I heard one man say that he has a big hickory stick that he could have, one that he couldn't break. If the old man’s can had held out, there would probably have been some sing- ing at the O’Laughlin home. Many Jobless. There is no work to be found here. There are as high as 50 men sitting in these big employment bureaux, 10 to 20 coming and going in and out. The big fish sits back in all of these bureaus and smokes, telling the men to be careful who they buy a pob of, or they will be beat out of their money. Some of these men buy 50 to 75 jobs a year, and it costs them $2 to $10 for each job, They ought to see how this profit is split up among the bos- ses. I hope the time comes soon, when all poor see like those in Rus- Sia. for the maintenance of County Agents. It is hard for the farmers to get tid of even so small a louse as the County Agent (Agent of Business In- terests). Think of the big job con- fronting the farmers of getting rid of all the lice which suck their very life-blood. No wonder they are dis- couraged and say it can’t be done. They will have to make up their minds that to organize into the Uni- ted Farmers League is the only way the farmers can get what they want. —J. Q. H.

The neighbors look on anxiously while the Unemployed Branch members argue it out. There is-a feeling of uncertainty as to what to do among the Branch members. They had put mack fur- niture in 59 precious cases but here they were stuck. There was too much of the professional furniture “back- putters” talk. No thought of the possibilities of taking immediate ad- vantage of the sentiment of the Suf- folk Street worker-tenants and or- ganizing them right then and there. That was the work of the Tenants League—formalism, departmentalism, More arguing—why weren't these matters of what to do, how to organ- ize a block, etc, taken up at the meeting of the Unemployed Branch. The twenty-odd members of the Unemployed Branch dissolve under pressure of waiting and nothing | is done, A tentative arrangement is made for an evennig meeting, but | it seems only to same the face of the Branch. There is no heart in it. | The meetings of the Unemployed Branch reflect this weakness, this | failure to know what to do quickly, | concretely, systematically; to bring results. ‘The leading members of the Branch —sincere, hard working workers, but they d onot convey to the members | that they know exactly how things | are to be done, that they can organize | the work down to the smallest de- | tails.

Will} there be more systematic planning of the routine tasks, so there is no need for undue friction on minor organ- izational details, no squabblings over | what to do? Real work can be done. The pos~ sibilities at the very door of the Un- employed Council are nummerous. The working class men and women who tell of their misery, want to do something for themselves, want to be organized. ‘The members of the Unemployed Branch are anxious to do work, But the task of the leadership is to plan it, to check their work and errors, to get down to the work of organizing tenants in given neighborhoods. There is no need for general flamboyant phrases at the branch meetings, no need to settle small organizational details at the meteings where organ- ization is the principal job. There is no indication that the Party apparatus knows what is going on, checks on it, sees that the un- | employed are clarified when they fall down on work. There is no connection between the branch and the city Unemployed Council, no living organic connection. And there is need of a much closer tie-up between the city leadership and the branch leadership, between the Party fraction and the unemploy- ed branch. Tt is a weakness that must be corrected at once. It must be corrected ni order to rally these hungry and starving workers in Mad- ison Square for the march to Union Square on May Ist.
