A mis- guided young worker who considered Thomas a messiah, came with me. I thought it a good chance to expose these social- fascists and their fake socialism. So here we are at the nice shiny hall: My young friend confides into my ear that he craves al cigarette, but daren’t smoke, since it is the Sabbath eve, and he glimpses the president of his synagogue in the audience. | Let this give you an idea of the composition of the audience. | Moscow, U.S.S.R.

Northwest Farmers Lose On English Fruit Orders (By a Worker Correspondent) SEATTLE, Wash.—It is interesting to note the effect of the decline of the British pound’ sterling upon the standards of living out here in north- west, It is doubly interesting because the capitalist press all called aloud to us, that it had no effect upon liv- ing standards. They denied that it would even affect the British workers. We call attention to the fact that the Daily Worker, was alone point- ing out the suffering that would re- gult from it. Ir the northwestern fruit country (Yakima and Wenatchee) orchardists depended upon the shipment to the British Empire of Winternellis pears, as their main source of income, this year. The orders were in and pay- ments arranged for. Then the French and American attack upon England came. A 10,000 dollar shipment would realize only around $7500-$8000. The farmers could not afford to let the crop go. Canadian Dollar Declines Because of the proximity of the nothwest to the Canadian border, another and more direct harmful re- sult to the workers took effect, upon the decline of the pound.

Build your press by writing for it. a fond gathering of doting aunts and uncles, who came to hear litle Elmer speak his piece. Here is the chair- man: He is a paunchy lawyer, with pale blue eyes and a faint yellow mustache. Hew do I know he is aj lawyer? Because he tells us. Then} he introduces the main speaker, the | candidate for the 16th Assembly dis- | trict: “I know Mr. Haskel very well. In fact, I am his boss—what better endorsement can I give him?” And he sits down, smirking, very well satisfied with himself. Not a titter ran through the room. Evidently, | there is nothing funny or incompa- tible, in the proud utterance of the | word “Boss” by a supposed enemy of bosses, Candidate Speaks Now our candidate speaks. He is handicapped by an unusual set of adenoids and a very meagre intellect. But he is a lawyer, and you mustn't forget it. His speech must have been prepared for him (by his boss, no doubt) and very painstakingly mem- orized. If I gave it to you verbatim, you couldn’t tell if it were Hoover attacking Smith, or Smith attacking Hoover. It was the regulation stereo- typed campaign speech, denouncing the current officials, and promising everything, from newly built houses to the abolition of dandruff, if only you voted Socialist, And on, the graft and corruption of the present administration! This fake mud-sling- ing characterizes all three capitalist parties, And here we have the ex- ponents of socialism, in all their nakedness. Not one single word was mentioned of the deepeing world crisis, the intensified fascist brutality. of the bosses, the misery of millions, the bitter strikes and battles waged daily, the coming imperialist war. Not Workers’ Party Questions were allowed. Following @ question about the U. S. Judiciary, I asked: “Is the socialist party a working-class party?” The paunchy chairman turns « bit yellower, His pale eyes look bewildered, caught. He answers: ‘Well, it should be. It should be, but unfortunately, it isn’t. No, we are not yet the leading Labor Party here.” A very typical evasion. | Immediately after my question, a new speaker is introduced. No more | questions allowed. These fakers fear exposure, they fear honest questions. And so do most of the audience, from the prosperous storekeepers, the bearded: president of the synagogue, the professionals, to the satin-coated woman who glares at me. I left the hall, and the few workers present, left with me. ‘The insanity, the obvious fakery of the speech and meeting, had com- pletely discredited the Socialist Party in the eyes of the three or four workrs who had left with me (in- cluding the young worker who had accompanied me), CANTON TIN MILL INCREASES SPEED No Protection Given To Workers Canton, Ohio. Daily Worker: I want to write to you about the conditions in the Canton Tin Plate Mill. The hot mill workers work eight hours a day, five days a week. The pay, of course, has been reduced ac- cording to the reduction in hours. Those working in the block pick- ers’ room work 10 to 12 hours a day for 36 cents an hour. The speed-up here is terrible. In the cool room the workers work 12 to 15 hours a day for 33 cents an hour. One worker lost his right hand in our mill on Sept. 19. His brother got killed five months before. Shearers and helpers work under the most terrific speed for a wage of 33 cents an hour. The boss in the pickler room forces the workers so that they cannot go to the toilet. Workers have to buy their own hand leather every other day. We have to spend $5 every two weeks for clothes worn out in the mill. The company does not give the workers anything to protect them on the job —no hand leather, no butts, nothing. ‘There is only one thing for us to do now.

GOVERNOR LIES IN SPEECH ABOUT PAY-CUTS |Soys Wages Will Not Ba Slashed; Yet Pay Envelopes Shrink (By a Worker Correspondent) OAKLAND, .Cal.—“Rolph paints bright picture for California.” “Gov- ernor shoots shaits of light through the gloom.” These headlines appeared over a story in the “Post Enquirer,” which | burst into ecstasy recently over the Governor of California’s “sunny smile” and “cheerful outlook.” The governor told the women’s club that california will be the great- est state and Los Angeles the greatest city if the people support adequate water projects, “California will not cut wages one cent,” said the gov- ernor. $ We would like to ask the governor about 200,000 agricultural workers who had their waves cut 10 to 20 per cent. How about the cannery workers who got their pay cut 10 to 50 per cent? And the printers, machinists, sheet metal workers, moulders, etc. (who by the way are A. F. of L. members), their wages were cut 10 to 25 per cent. How about the California miners, oil | workers, railroad men, packing house ; workers? - Their wages were cut 10 per cent or more. And the domestic workers lost 50 per cent of their pay through numerous slashes since 1930. Workers in California know that their chief executive lies without | blinking.

CUTS PAY TWICE Lumberjack Pay Down to $15 a I fonth (By a Worker Correspondent) INTERNATIONAL FALLS, Minn. —The International Lumber Co., a Backus subsidiary, has pushed through two cuts of 10 per cent. each on all of its lumber mill workers. Teamsters now get 25 cents an hour, dry lumber and planing mill workers get 30 cents an hour, The lumberjacks have been espe~ cially hard hit. The lumbering in- dustry is practically at a stand still, and where in the past Koochiching County had many lumber camps, only three are now operating with greatly reduced forces. The working conditions are terrible. Lumberjacks get $15 a month and their keep, for terrible work in timber that has been burned over in various forest fires. Lumberjacks know what that means, the timber is all charred and it is impossible to keep clean. Food served the workers is reported to be very | bad. + The International Lumber Oo. is also laying a track for its railroad at this time.

The tie-up is the answer to the bosses’ attempt to put the two watches back, the 10-hour day in port and a 25 per cent to 47 per cent wage-cut and abolishment of overtime pay.

Here in the U.S.A. ports the American section of the LS.H., Marine Workers’ Industrial U m, is leading the fight. In Philadelphia the steamship Holger is tied up and the owners were unable to get scabs in Philadelphia, so they applied for their old standby, the Seamen’s Church Institute, to fur- nish a crew and this rotten, blood- sucking outfit of c ‘se jumped at the chance to show its masters, the shipowners, that it is the faithful servant and supplied a crew. The oldtimers on the waterfront are not surprised, because the whole history of the holy flophouse has been nothing else but exploiting the seamen and scabherding. These are the same ones that tell us seamen every Sunday how much they love us, The American seamen are be- ginning to realize who their friends are and who are their enemies. We realize that the fight of the German seamen is our fight. And therefore | we must fight together. To do this we must organize into a strong in- ternational and industrial union, controlled by the rank and file, and which has one program: class against class, ause nothing else will do, The Marine Workers’ Industrial Union is such an organization and it is the only one.
