FAKERS AF No Misleadera Col Collect Dues Only ight Against Use of Scabs Hired by Put U Bosses to Defeat Strike Comrade Editor: Ass'n. of Modesto, Calif., I was a former truck driver for the Stockton, Cal. Milk Producers and a member of the A. F. of L., will ty to explain the conditions there to the best of my ability The truck drivers were getting a $125 a month for 1: hours a day and four days off. 12% cents a hunded, Contract haulers were gettin; While the other two companies the Borden Milk and the Swift Companies were paying truck driv- ers from $125 to $140 a month, and contract haulers 15 cents a hundred. The boss asked us if wee—— would work for $100 a month and contract haulers for 10 cents a hun- dred. He even went to the other two companies to entice them to cut wages, Now, this company belongs to the farmers, and when the price of but- jer drops from 48 to 42 cents, the boss fore that it was a good chance jo get us to take a cut by trying to xplain farmers. that, this would help the Organize Drivers. I started to work for this they paid as much as the others, but they forced one cut and the farmers increased the bosses’ salaries. Some old timers there knew what had happened before and they knew if we accepted the act, it would not help the farmers nor we work- ers. So, we got together and or- ganized into the A. F. of L. and set scale the same scale as the other two companies were paying. Strike Was Called. The strike was called and 140 workers walked,out but the boss herd- ed a lot of scabs in and paid com- pany drivers $150 a month and con- tract haulers the same as before. One case of an inside worker who got 49 case of an inside worker who got 40 cents an hour who was experienced Before company, ehe wage and a new W worker, a li-y got 45 cents and a promise of 50 cents when he comes to know the trade. It sure looks funny that the bosses can not pay a living wage, but they have got plenty to break a strike. he A. F. of L. leadership raised no hand against this. Now on Starvation Wages. T am working on a large company farm for starvation wages and with rotten conditions. An organizer came to our ranch and spoke to us with the result that I and many others have lined up and are lining up in the A. W. I. L. as we can see that there is only one way to kick the bosses loose from the coin they have robbed and are still robbing us of. By the way, I must mention that the organizers were chased out from the camps by the boss and armed guards were placed here ab once. But that orly makes us see the need for a united front as the T. U. U. L. stands for. We must do away with the rotten leadership which fills their pockets at the expense of the workers. Eve worker should join the T. U. U. L. and carry on with a real militant fight for emancipation of our wage slaves and for a workers’ and farmers’ government. —By American Workers. Lumber Workers end Dairy Farmers Hard Hit in Washington Stanwood, Wash. Daily Worket:— \nilts are not running with full crews. pt course there are the usual prom- ses that the men will be put back to work in two weeks, but this is like all the past promises—not very prom- | ising. Some of the poor diary farmers are being hit mighty hard. They have no money to buy seed to re-seed the fields for hay and grain. Milk has gone down to $1.20 per hundred pounds, which. doesn’t much more than pay for the feed. —W.EE. Dogs Pampered While Hours Oklahoma City, Okla. Dear Comrades:— I am working on a farm where two osses are living and taking it very asy by exploiting four workers. We are working seven days a week, 12 to 14 hours a day and I never saw bos- ses in such a hurry as these boys. And when we are not working we, the workers, must share a little stuffy room which is so small we can hardly all fit into it. We must work and live this way so the bosses can have plenty of leis- ure and be surrounded by all the Miners (By a Worker Correspondent) COALDALE, Pa.—Two oolleries, numbers 11 and 14, were shut down here recently. Every time they open one up the mine bosses close two down. There are about 2,000 men out of work here and one can hear many of the workers talking some kind of action to smash these condtions—this misery, hunger and starvation. ere , Editorial Note:—To smash these « ditions the kind of action that is tecessary is militant mass action by the coal miners demanding that the bosses and their government Times are getting worse here. The} Editorial Note. — The lumber werkers should get in touch with the Lumber Workers Industrial League, No, 106 Columbia St., Seattic, Washington. The L.W.LL. will give leade:tnip to the lumber workers in their struggles for unemployment relief, against the speed-up and wage cuts and for better conditions in the lumber mills, The poor farmers should join the United Farmers League, Box 94, Superior, Wisconsin and organize into action committees to demand free seed and grain from the government and to refuse to pay taxes, rent and debts. Workers Slave 12 to 14 Daily luxuries of life, so that, as was the case here, one of the bosses was able to send his pet dog to the hospital, a sickness caused by leading a pam- pered life. When we get sick, how- ever, we must keep right on working. I know, comrades, that many of you are enduring conditions as bad or worse. Our answer to such con- ditions is to join the Communist Party, organize and fight against these conditions and prepare our- selves to overthrow this rotten and corrupt capitalist system and build a workers’ government. 0 More Colleries Close in Coaldale; 2,000 Jobless give real unemployment relief in the form of unemployment insur- ance to the unemployed miners and their families. Organize an unem- ployed council in your mining town. The National Miners Union, 611 Penn Ave., Pittsburgh, Pa., will give the miners leadership in organizing the councils. Make a canvass of your neighborhood and list the names of the starving families and evictions. Demand of your city council that these families be fed and allowed to stay in their homes. Only by mass militant action of the miners and their families, however, can this be accomplished. French Worker Tells of Cousenon Co. Firing 16 Workers and Forcing 5% Wage Cut Paris, France Daily Worker :— Before 1914, the firm ‘‘Couesnon,” musical instrument makers, was & rather small business. But during the war Mr. Couesnon, Senior, as a depu- ty of Chateau-Thierry, and a member of the Commission of the Arm, suc- ceeded in making a fortune. After the war, this great patriot feli tired and passed the job to his son, Jean. The latter too was a fam- ous patriot, far behind the front, hat- ing the ‘Huns’ and loving his country as much as patriotism was filling his ‘pockets. However, the gentleman is a vadical-socialist—but socialism now- a-days is such funny thing!

Rape is a capital offense in Alabama if com- itted by Negro workers. A 14- year-old child, a worker and a child of workers, hungry and barefooted in search of work, beating his way on a freight train is picked up by a mob of 50 sheriffs and charged with rape! ‘The boy is writing his letter to the International Labor Defense, the or- ganization of Negro and white work- ers defending him, and heartily thanks the workers’ defense for the few dollars they send him to jail so he can buy the necessary things to make life a little more bearable, The child writes: “It gives me the greatest of all pleasure to answer you all letter.

L. D. that he is with the workers. The “uplifters,” with their ministers and police officials, have tried to confuse the mind of this child by promising him “heayon on earth” if he would only drop the International Labor Defense. But the child writes: “I am not going to sign no one papers. Are talk to no one but you all.” Asks About 8 Comrades. ‘The child, Roy Wright, sitting in his cell has not forgotten his eight comrades who have been sentenced to the electric chair, although prac- tically all of them were strangers to him up to the night of his ar- rest, In the same letter to the In- ternational Labor Defense hé in- quires what the organization is doing for the other boys. He asks: “Have you all wrote to Andy since they been in Kilby prison?” And, in a pathetic tone, the child who should be play- ing ball on an empty lot, but finds himself in prison instead, inquires when he is going to be freed. Andy writes: “I want you to write right back and let me know when I is| going to have my trial, please sir In prison the ruling class } boy remain barefooted and with hardly any clothes on his back.

The workers’ defense has out of its meager funds, extended some help to the parents. In reply to the boy in prison, Geo. Maurer, assistant secretary for the I. L.

The whole working class is helping to fight your case and those of your other friends and comrades in Kilby. “The shoes will be today or tomorrow.” Rush Money for the Defense. The International Labor Defense in fighting the cases of these Negro workers, has already spent upward of $2,000 on saving the lives workers and thousands more will be needed. But the boys in prison and thet rfamilies on the outside are in need of bread and clothes. A special fund has been established for that purpose and all workers and their mpathizers are asked to mail their contributions immediately to the Scottsboro Defense Fund, Interna- tional Labor Defense, 80 E. 11th St., Room 430, New York Ci here sent either OHIO CHURCHES IN SCOTTSBORO AID Support I L D United Front Policy CLEVELAND, O., May 12.—The cor- rect policy of a united front of all workers and sympathetic forces to save the lives of the nine Scottsboro Negro boys reteived further support last night when the Rev.

Luper was one of the speakers at a packed meeting of Negro and white workers at the Spiro Hall, at which Roy Mahoney acted as chair- man, Rev. Luper said that the chur- ches he heads will not join all other organizations in the fight to save the boys but will open their churches to speakers from the I. L. D. and the LS.N.R. He offered his church for all meetings, Other speakers at the meeting were Jennie Cooper, representing the I.L.D., Rose Burt of the Communist Party, and Herbert Newton, member of the National Committee of the L.S.N.R. All were greeted with the greatest en- thusiasm. The meeting unanimously adopted a resolution of protest to be sent to Governor B. M. Miller of Ala- bama, demanding the unconditional release of the nine innocent boys Twenty applications were made to join’the LL.D. Of these fourteen were colored workers. Many pledged themselves to work for the election of delegates to the United Front Scottsboro Defense Conference on May 29 in the same hall. Mass Hunger in West Penna.

One family, it was reported to the association, ate a dog. Another family killed a pet dog because the food it ate was needed for the children.” The wel- fare organizations have “exhausted théir sources and further relief will be discontinued.” ‘These are excerpts from a long Story in the capitalist press on the conditions of the miners in Repub- lie Séction, where “all mines except Républic have been idle for six months to @ year.” There are 14 mines in the section. New Wage Cut In Coverdale. In the Coverdale Mine of the Pittsburgh Terminal Coal Co. a new wage-cut took place. The bettom and the tipple crews were cut 50 cents a day and pick load- ers 4 cents a ton. The bottom and tipple crews must work as long as the washer runs and it rans 12 hours a day. The company at- tempted to give the same cut to the miners in Mine No. 3. They threatened with a strike and the wage-cut was withdrawn, More Mines Shut Down. The Rainey Coal Co. shut down its Jamison Mine, near Perryopolis, em- ploying over 100 miners. The mine is shut down permanently, The H. C. Frick Coal Co. also closed its mines in this territory.

The day before yes- terday 16 joined at Vesta No. 6. Tonight a meeting was chheduled for Coverdale Mine, where at least 25 are expected to join, 12 of them being Negroes. In the Central Pennsylvania striking area 250 have joined in the last few days. In the Melrose and Driftwood Mines, also on strike, 150 joined last Monday. Prepare Strikes and Hunger Marches. Thorough preparations are being made to strike all mines in the Av- ella Section against miserable wages. The strike is expected to be in ef- fect within ten days. Mass meet- ings, organizational meetings, dis- tribution of leaflets, house-to-house visiting, etc., is being done to prepare the strike. The Fayette and Washington Hun- ger Marches will be held soon. Prep- arations are being made in all the sections of the two counties. Women and children will also participate.

Another Legal Lynch- ing of a Worker MONTGOMERY, Alabama boss justice against whose attempt to burn the nine innocent Negro victims of the Scottsboro frame up the entire working class of the country is vigorously protesting, is planning to carry through the elec- trocution of another innocent Negro worker this Friday. Ala. May 12— Thomas Robertson, tthe aged father of the Robertson which was all wiped out on the days of July 4 to 10, 1930, by a white mob at Emelle, Ala., be- cause Esau Robertson refused to pay twice for a battery he had bought from a white storekeeper is to be le- gally lynched on Friday, unless the governor commutes his sentence to life imprisonment. When Esau Robertson was attacked by the white storekeeper he defended himself and beat up his attacker. The storekeeper later gathered a mob of wealthy farmers and small business men and attempted to string up the young worker. His family joined in his defense. Several were lynched. ‘The others escaped to the swamp. The tthen governor of Alabama, Graves, offered a reward of $300 for any of the family, “dead or alive.” The old man whom the Alabama bosses are now preparing to legally lynch this Friday had no part what- ever in the fight. But white boss su- premacy has to be upheld. So he was quickly railroaded through to the electric chair. The N.A.A.C.P. leaders who are now trying to sabotage the defense of the nine Scottsboro boys offered neither protest nor defense against this outrage.

The crowds cheered them. Soldiers called to shoot the masses who were sys- tematically burning the hated head- quarters of centuries of oppression and blood-sucking, fraternized with the people. Martial law was de- clared and put into effect by the so- cialists by the use of the old mon- archist police force, the Civil Guard. At first crowds attacked and burn- ed churches in Madrid. The seeth- ing rebellion agaiftst the mainstay of counter-revolution and exploitation soon spread to Sargossa, Cordova, Cadiz, Alicante, Bilboa, Seville and other cities. Latest reports tell of constantly renewed attempts to con- tinue the work of wiping out, root and branch, the .Catholic institu- tions of feudalism. The very first sentence of the As- sociated Press dispatch of May 12, gives the lie to the statement of the provisional government, that the burning of the churches was the work of a few Communists. The Communists have been extending their influence among the masses. More and more workers are respond- ing to the strike call of the Commu- nists, The Associated Press dispatch from Madrid says that the masses “swept police, civil guards and sol- diers aside, attacked and burned church buildings.” A great portion of the church at- tackers were republican followers who were enraged at the betrayals of the provisional government The burning of the churches was the masses’ answer to the perfidy of the provisional government and the growing counter-revolutionary actions of the monarchists, hiding behind the sacraments and garments of the church. The provisional government which had shielded the monarchists, per- mitting them te grow and. prepare the counter-rewolution now charges the Communists, who exposed these facts to the nyagses, as being in league with the monarchists As eighty Communists have been arrested in Madrid and face execu- tion at the hands of the socialists and republicans. The socialists have issued an appeal to the workers not to listen to Communist agitators, but to hlep maintain order by keeping their jobs, In short, they want the workers to keep quiet while the mon- archy is protected in its preparation for armed insurrection. That the increased activity of the monarchy, especially through the Catholic church, was the main cause of the outbreak, is admitted by many capitalist news stories from Madrid. The fact of the matter is that the newspaper ABC, a Catholic-monarch- ist organ, was the center of a mili- tary organization preparing to drown the revolution in a sea of blood. This work was being aided by the social- ists and republicans who called on the masses to remain quiet while the ze borhood— BRONX, N.
