TO PREVENT FIN D! An Ey | WORKE BUILD ‘DAILY’ SUSTAINING FUND ANCIAL CRISES; | _ WORKER SHOWS HOW 10 SELL PAPER Building up the Daily Worker Sus- taining Fund is one of the best ways of assuring the existence of the Daily and preventing financial crises. One worger has just sent in a $1 contribution with a letter saying that he will donate $1 from every pay-ehvelope—he gets paid twice a month. Elsewhere on this rr chy is a coupon intended for precisely this purpose. The Daily Worker Clubs can do important work in getting pledges to the Sustaining Fund. Here's a letter trom Rochester, Y., that all workers should read ly. ‘omrades, I have been asked by my unit to write and tell you how I do it, Do what? Why, sell the Daily Worker, When I joined the Party, they were recel jen a day and only were sold, I could why they could not be sold and in order to prove it, I went out and sold them and 75 old copies that re around the office.

Something Sure Is Wrong” From far-off Vancouver, Canada, a worker has sent a letter with a $1 donation to the financial drive, tell- ing us what the Daily Worker means. This worker tells them: : “T just got back to town and in looking through the Daily, I see the finance is not coming through (out- side of New Yorg) to meet that de- ficit. Something sure is wrong: the Sountey is big and there are plenty readers and sympathizers who have not yet come through on this | drive, Let’s hope this new idea of | 60 cents from each person lines them all up on the right side “Seems to me one trouble is we are moxtly all built with little im- ation. So little that we cannot, or if we can, do not, stop to think | what the labor movement would be like without the Daily Worker. Say for one month when thos 40,-¢ 000 miners are battling for bread, when it’s nip and tuck if our nine boy comrades from Scottsboro are to be saved from the grinning elec- trie chair; also and most pressing, these millions of unemployed need- ing a correct lead and the hounger marches linked up from coast to coast. “Without the Daily this whole | movement would slip and flounder around, be ten times more difficult to keep on the right track. And the news of the world movement, the history made in China by that heroie Red Army, the German and European crisis and the ever-nar- rowing line that stands between us and the new world war. | Problems. | Clarifies “To me it allsums up: where | would we be without the Daily Worker? Even here in Vancouv during the past year the Daily has been the means of clarifying the problems immensely. Your back page alone has been read, marked and passed on and no one knows where the end is.” How about it, fellow-workers? Are you getting half dollars for the Daily? Are you arranging affairs? Cneidentally, the Springfield, Til, Branch of the Lithuanian A.L.D.L.D. and the Lithuanian Women's Club recently held a pienie and dance for the Daily and raised $74.)

This is now being fol- lowed by many arrests. Terror and arrests are multiplying, but are most heavily directed towards breaking up the machinery for getting and dis- tributing relief to the striking min-~ ers. Today three miners were released from the county jail after serving 30- day jail terms for collecting relief in Duquesne. Frank Hendricks reported that the police took the few cents he had on the pretense of phoning for relief or defense, and then told him that the entire relief headquar- ters was closed, the staff jailed, and that they were forced to trial with- out defense aid. The miners had a load of bread, clothes and flour, but the police refused to allow them to ‘phone anyone to come for it, and food for thousands of miners needing it, desperately was deliberately WORKERS MUST |ANSWER IN AUG. 1 ‘DEMONSTRATIO NS {CONTINUED "ROM PAGE ONED | the common enemy for the preser- vation of our governments, our homes and firesides and our re- ligion.” The general told the soldiers what he has been informed by the leading officials in the Hoover government, that the army is being prepared for war against the Soviet Union in the very near future. This confirms the statement made recently by Senator Cqpeland of New York, when he said that the present conferences in Europe were attempts to forge a united front for embargo against the Soviet products to be fol- lowed by armed intervention. Feverish Preparations in U. 8. There is a feverish preparation go- ing on for war in the United States. The Daily Worker has been supplied by the following reliable informa- tion showing the rapid mobilization for war against the Soviet Union, as admitted by General Holbrook. Many shipyards and bases which were used in the last war and had not been used since are suddenly be- ing rehabilitated, viz. Ulmer Park Subchaser Base, Hackensack River Docks (near old Ford Plant); the U. S, Government just ordered 120 bombers; the Ozite plant in Jersey City is prepared to manufacture gun wadding for the next war; the de- partment of of War is asking “ac- ceptable” engineering students whether their services can be» count- ed upon in the “event of war.” ‘The vast improvements in the mechanized sections of the army are not limited to the United States. War inventions are rapidly being made in Germany too which will play an important part in the war preparations against the Soviet Union as well as against the rising revolutionary masses in Germany. In a special dispatch to the New York American on Sunday Karl von Wiegand, special Hearst correspond- ent in Berlin, states that Germany is developing few and powerful war weapons. He quotes one of the lead- ing German scientists, Professor Wil- helm Schienk, gas expert and head of the Chemical Institute of the Uni- versity of Berlin, who says: “We have not by any means been sticking our heads in the sand while the others are bristling with arms.” He goes on to tell of the new deadly gases invented and the new electric rays perfected to kill millions. All this General Holbrook says will be used together with the mechan- ized army of Wall Street in an ef- fort to crush the Soviet Union. All Out August Ist! Holbrook’s announcement is made on the same day when the United States Department of Labor an- nounces unemployment has reached ° | the lowest point in the history of the United States, More than 10,000,000 are now facing starvation, The capi- talists find billions for war.

WIN DEMANDS OF THE ROAD STRIK COOK, Minn. July 25.—After threatening to call in ‘the militia, in addition to their hired gunmen and scabs, the contractors on the state highway construction were forced to grant virtually all demands of the striking unemployed farmers who were hired for road work. The demands that the farmer road workers won under the leadership of the Trade Union Unity League are: 1, No contract. 2, Guaranteed 45 cents an hour, 3, An 8-hour day. 4. No blacklisting or dis- crimination for strike activities or Political beliefs. 5. Recognition of the workers’ elected committee for grievances. their hearings will come up. Twenty-six Brownsville miners and their children were chased from the steel city of Monessen by the bur- gess (mayor). The Pittsburgh police are holding the local relief chairman, Movrich, for deportation and refuse all demands for permits to collect food for the miners. But the social- ists, the churches, etc. all are al- lowed. The newspapers villify the miners relief as “racketeers”, and spread all sorts of Hes. They call the strike leaders “public enemies” and “criminals”. Thousands have been arrested already and the terror is growing worse. This shows the need particularly of intensifying the relief drive. I, Hawkins, national relief chair- man, said today: “The coal operators and their police are trying to weaken the strike but the workers every- where through intensifying relief ac- tivities must help to strengthen the strike especially now. “Tag days must and will continue. Thousands upon thousands must and will participate and break through this terror, The striking miners and their families must be fed!" spoiled. Scores of others have been similarly arrested with the police re- fusing to tell which jail they have been taken to or when and where Rush your contribution for relief to the Penn-Ohio Striking Miners Relief Committee, Penn Ave., Pittsburgh, Pa. | U.M.w. iiners Sika Picket Lines to Go to pence "TERT Page Three Wikeaow to Expose Hoover-Lewis| (CONTINUED FROM AGE ONE) | send delegates in alliance with those of the Unity Committees and fight- ing the starvation program of the and the operators shoulder to shoulder with the delegates cf the Unity Committees and the National Miners Union. The newly elected Executive Com- mittee of the Central Rank and File Strike Committee at its first meet- ing today thoroughly discussed the Hoover government's latest strike breaking attempt and not only un- qualifiedly endorsed the sending of the delegation from the strike fields in which it leads40,000 men if a fight inst starvation, but made plans to explain the situation to the, striking miners and mobilize them to elect the delegates. The conferences to be held tomor- row in every section of the strike area by the National Miners Union will] undoubtedly| also endorse the plan to expose and smash the at- tempt of the government and the op- erators to fasten the U.M.W. on them like slave shackles along with a trustification ‘of the industry at the expense of the workers and«.impos- ing of slave conditions, starvation, unemployment and misery for the masses of miners. The campaign under way to rally the miners of Southern Illinois through a real rank and file confer- ence in Belleville Sunday and a se- ries of mass meetings during the weeks following, in which William Z. Foster will speak at the conference and Tom Myerscough, secretary of the Miners National Unity Commit- tee of Action will speak at the mass meetings, will have the sending of this joint delegation of the miners to Washington as one of its main points. So will the campaign start- ing in the Anthracite. There will un- doubtedly be delegations from the miners of Harlan county, Kentucky, where the U.M.W. has proved itself an enemy of miners fighting for their lives. In West Virginia where the U.M.W. has made a slave contract at a tonnage rate of only 30 cents, rank and file miners will be elected to go to Washington and fling the proofs of U.M.W. treachery in the faces of Hoover, Lewis and the operators. The united front conference in Johns- town, Sunday will have the matter before it—and there is no doubt it will endorse the action of the Miners National Unity Committee of Action. So will the conference of coke coal miners, soon to be held in Fayette County. The whole mine fields are in re- volt against the dastardly strike breaking proposition, this Hoover conference. Newspapers, particularly in the coal region, editorialize openly on this phase of it, and emphasize that its main accomplishment is ex- pected to be.the control of the coal industry through the revival of the United Mine Workers of America. The Pittsburgh Press, Scripps-How- ard owned, and calling itself “liber- al”, comes out with this declaration in its editorial today: “Those operators who refuse to treat with the United Mine Workers see their mines—and the stability of the industry in the district—threat- ened by haggard mobs misled by Communists.” Other papers which make no pose of liberalism echo these words but could hardly make them stronger. There is never absent from this coal | region newspaper comment the un- derlying dread that the miners} through their own National Miners Union and their own broad strike} committees will carry on the strike and win their demands, will spread the strike and win the demands of still greater masses than are involved | in struggle now—and this the oper- ators hope to offset by use on a na- tional seale of the best strike-break- ing weapon of the operators, the U.M.W.A, A statement on the Washington conference has been formulated and adopted by the National Miners Union. and the Miners Unity Com- mittee of Action, which protests against the Hoover-Lewis-operator scheme and calls upon the miners everywhere to fight it, to unite and| struggle against it on the basis of the general demands adopted: at the National Conference held last week, and such local demands as they may adopt. The national demands are: General increases in wages; unem- ployment insurance paid for by the mediate relief for all unemployed workers; the 6-hour day without re- duction in pay; establishment of check-weighmen and union condi- tions; recognition of Mine Commit- tees elected by all the workers; abo- lition of company towns, company stores, evictions and payment in scrip; protection of the health and safety of the workers; abolition of speed-up; abolition of check-off; the right to organize, strike and picket and abolition .of the injunction; equal rights for all Negro miners, in- cludimg wages, assignment of work, etc.; “no discrimination against or perseeution of foreign-born workers; equal pay and special protection for young workers; unconditional release of all workers arrested in connection with strike and union activities; withdrawal of all armed forces from the striking area; a national collec- tive agreement ie the whole coal in- dustry. The’ statement recites the acts of treachery to the miners of the U.M. W.A, and protests emphatically against its recognition. “The U.M. W.A. does not represent the interesis of the miners,” it declares and “The Miners Unity Committee of Action represents the great mass of miners.” gations from striking and employed and unemployed miners which cre- ated this committee. It outlines the plan to elect delegations on a dis- trict basis from the Unity Commit- tees of action to which are linked up the N. M. U. locals, locals and mi- norities in the U.M.W.A., locals of the West Virginia Mine Workers Union, the councils of the unem- ployed, etc. “Delegates should be elected on a district basis by these various organ- izations to proceed to Washington to demand the right to negotiate con- ditions in the mining industry in the name of the miners,” says the statement. “We must not permit the U.M.W.A. to speak in our name at the Washington conference. Lewis, Fagan, Van Bittner, Turnblazer & Co. are going there:only to sell us out again. The rank and file miners must be present themselves at the conference.” The statement is signed by Tom Myerscough as secretary of the Min- ers Unity Committee of Action, and by Frank Borich as secretary of the National Miners Union. Torture Negro Croppers in Jail; Hearing Tues.; Demonstrate Aug. 1 (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) Negro children by the capitalist court at Scottsboro, Ala. The 55 croppers come up for a preliminary hearing tomorrow, Tues- day. General George W. Chamlee, leading Chattanooga attorney, and a local Alabama attorney, will re- present the frame-up croppers for the International Labor Defense. The two attorneys, with possibly a third one, will fight for the immediate re- lease of the croppers. Those against whom charges of intent to murder have been placed are Dosier, Milner, T. Patterson, William Crab, John and Thomas Fitch. This is because the bosses believe these six croppers to be the most militant. Mass Protests Stop Further Arrests Further wholesale arrests of Negro croppers has been stopped by the militant protests of colored and white workers throughout the coun- try. Finding that the murder of Gray and the probable lynching of four others had aroused the indigna- tion of the working masses, North and South, the local judge in Camp Hill, together with the prosecuting attorney, advised the sheriff in a public statement “to stop arresting any more Negroes.” This fact alone attests tte effectiveness of the grow- ing mass movement for the defense of the Negro people, for the freeing |+ of the nine innocent Scottsoboro boys and the Camp Hill croppers, It was this militant mass protest that forced the removal of the Scottsboro boys to Montgomery where they are relatively safer than ‘in the Scotts- boro jail, The Scotsboro boys and the Camp Hilf croppers can be freed Room 205, 611] only by a united mass struggle of the Negro people and the entire working-class.

L. D., in which he states, in part: “Dear Friends: The Interna- tional Labor Defense sends you greetings of solidarity. I. L. D. attorneys will be in Dadeville to represent you at the hearing next ‘Tuesday. They will be in to talk to y@h before the trial, The I, L.

W: PLOTS TO STAB SPREAD N J (CONTINUED OM PAGE ONE) Last Tuesday's issue of the Pater- son News carried a resolution of the United Textile Workers stating that the reason they would go out on strike was because they did not wish to work with a picket line in front of the shop. This positively proves that the U. T. W. and Associated mis- leaders have no grievances and are not concerned with the grievances and conditions of the workers and that the “strike” they are calling for this Tuesday is not against intoler- able conditions but to prevent the workers from going out on a real Strike against these conditions under the leadership of the United Front | Strike Committee. | | U. T. W. Counts on Mayor Further evidence of the scheme of the United Textile Workers and As- sociated Silk officials to sell out the strike while going through the mo- tions of calling one is that con- taine | in the Paterson Sunday Eagle of today announcing the “general strike” called by the U. T. W. and Associated Silk. The Eagle writes: “It is most probable the manu- facturers, if they do not take ac- tion themselves by closing down first will call upon the mayor's labor conciliatory committee to take up the various grievances. This would bring both parties together, employees, delegates and employers.” This means that the bosses, the UTW-ASW betrayers and the mayor are co-operating in a sellout scheme. A mass meeting called by the United Front Strike Committee and the National Textile Workers’ Union will be held today at Summer and Harrison Streets at 6:30 p. m. Senti- ment for the National Textile Work- ers Union as the only union capable of leading the strike is rising per- ceptibly with the strike getting un- der way. Ata mass meeting held Saturday the demands of the silk workers were read by Fred Bisdenkapp, a national organizer of the Trade Union Unity League. The demands are; 1—We demand full recognition of our shop committees and our union. 2—That there be no discrimination 3—That no worker shall be dis- charged without the approval of the shop committee. 4—That equal pay be given to all workers for equal work. 5—That the fining abolished. 6—That a record card of all work performed showing date of perform- ance, stating price of -work, and quantity of work shall be* given to all workers. 1—That no worker shall more than 4 looms. 8—That wages to every worker be paid weekly. §—That there be no overtime, either day or night. 10—That any and all loss of time resulting from smashes which have to be repaired by the workers them- selves, shall be paid for at the rate of 75 cents an hour. 11—That both the day and night workers shall have one hour for lunch time. 12—That the working week consist of 8 hours per day, for five a week, with no work on Saturday or Sun- day, for both day and night workers. A price list was also read as part of the strike demands of the silk workers, A truckload of strikers’ and ‘adult system be operate children strikers advertising the ‘mass meeting tonight were arrested by Police Saturday evening. While the children were released, two adults were held in $25 bail each. In a vicious attack against the National Textile Workers Union and directly aiding the United Textile Workers strike-breaking sell out schemes, Benjamin Gitlow, renegade from the Communist movement and secretary of the self-styled Love- stone “majority” group injected himself in the Paterson strike sit- uation as an open-strikebreaker. The strikebreaking declaration of Gitlow was to the effect that the National Textile Workers Union was to be condemned for not uniting in the U. T. W. and A. S. W. officials in their betrayal plan.

Y—As a result of boss propangda many workers are so misguided that they take sides with the boses against the working- class, In the toilet for out patients at the Bellevue Hospital, there is no soap or towels of any kind. This gave rise to the following conversa- tion between two patients of the working-class. First worker: “This is their charity. They want to rub it in to us every chance they get. They want us to beg and cringe and be grateful for every bit of service and for every slice of bread. No soav—no towels on a sweltering hot day like today.” Second Worker: “Well they just got to do that way, You know there are a lot of people would take ad- vantage of it. You mustn't give too much to people. They don’t know how to appreciate it.” The first worker realized the fake and the treachery back of organized charity and she was sore because she as a charity patient had experienced some of the meaness of calousness that is shown to charity patients. ‘The second worker used the words of the boss, that been taught to her all her life. “Don’t give anything forced to give, because ‘f you do, they will demand still more.” This ir a definite boss policy. But it is not very often that one hears a worker defending it. On another occasion I pointed out to a working woman that the mil- lionaire estates up New York along the Hudson are big enough to make a playground for all the children of the working-class in New York, and that the day will come when these magnificent parks and palaces will be turned over to the children who now sweat, starve dnd die in the heat of New York's fierce summer heat The answer of the woman worker was: “Why don’t you. know that if these beautiful places were turred over to the children, they would wreck the place in three days time?” To this worker, who fortunately had no hungry children in New York, the welfare of the bosses and the bos property was much more im- portant than the lives of a million children of the working-class. But she was speaking the words taught to her by daily boss propagnda.
