Fertilizer, Says Pioneer Child in Sixth Grade Tells How Soviets Build Healthy Young Bodies Dear Comrade: Nijni-Novgorod. We received your letter and I, Tamara Kalinina, decided to write you a separate letter. Iam a pioneer of one of the best Pioneer homes, the Anson Pioneer Home, and a member of one of the best Pioneers’ sec- tions. Our Pioneer Home differs from other Pioneer Homes. In other Pioneer homes the children eat, sleep, work and play. To our home thd children come only after school. They have their dinner and supper here. We have 3 shops: book-binding, dressmaking and suit case making shops, where we learn to , the workers in the “Nishsveyprom” “a. m. till 1 p. m, the children work ‘Pioneers but also the other school children take active part in the cir- work. I work in the book-binding shop: All other children above 12 years of age work in one of. these shops ac- cording their own choice. We help (Nijni-Novogorod tailoring) factory carry on different campaigns and we celebrate revolutionary holidays to- gether, Special Study Rooms. Those of our children, who are backward in their studies and those who do not work in the shops, have @ special room to study. They study under the supervision of special teachers and brighter children who help them to catch up in subjects in which they are behind. The chil- dren stay in the Pioneer home until 9 o’clock in the evening. They sleep home. Our Pioneer home is consid- ered the model Pioneer home in the whole Nizni-Novogorod region. All| the other Pioneer homes and Pioneer organizations try to use the same methods of work as we do. We are the first ones to introduce new methods of work as we do. We are the first ones -to introduce new methods. If they prove beneficial for the government and for the Pioneers —other Pioneer homes and organi- zations adopt them. Now, I want to tell you about our winter camp. The children of our Pioneer home were the first ones in our region to go to winter camp for their winter 10 days vacation. Thirty children went together with two lead- ers, the director of the home and the manager The camp is 1% versts fromthe village Oransk. It was formerly a hermitage and is situated in the woods. We have 3 cows, i horse and pig. The daily schedule in our winter camp was the following. The chil- dren get up at 8-o’clock; from 8 to 8:30 they dress and have exercise; from 8:30 to 8:40 they get washed; some children rub themselves with snow, From 8:40. till 9 they make their beds and clean up the building; trom 9 to 10 is breakfast. From 10 in the Oransky collective farm and library From 1 to 2 is dinner and from’ 2 to 4 rest hours., From 4 to 6 the children can ‘do whatever they like. From 6 to 7 is evening tea; from 7 to 8:30 is club hour; from 8:30 to 9:30 supper. At 10 o'clock the children go to bed. Good Food. For breakfast we are given coffee, bread and butter or cheese or a full bowl of potcheese instead of other cheese. After breakfast we were kept busy in the collective farm. We fixed up a red corner with placards. We also helped to organize a reading Toom and library. We helped the col- lective farm to prepare for the spring sewing, we collected ashes for fer- tilizing the soil. At dinner hour-we returned to the camp to eat. It consisted of soup or stchey or macaroni with milk, fried potatoes“or pancakes and some times 2 glasses of milk with it. Dur- ing our leisure hour we went skiing, some children were busy drawing, reading, some who felt like sleeping took a nap. For evening tea we get tea with milk, white bread, During club hours we had group or general meet- ings. The children were divided in two groups. One group had 3 bri- gades, the other 4. I was in the third brigade of the second group Each brigade was assigned certain tasks to perform. Av present we have 14 circles in our Pioneer home.- Not only the cles. Please, write us now how the work is arranged and carried on in your schols. If you-are a Pioneer, write about your Pioneer organizations. \ nunil of the 6th group of the achool “In memory of the Decem- HUNGER GAINS IN MICH. COPPER MINE REGION Farmers and Workers Outraged at District Attorney (By a Worker Correspondent) TOIVOLA, Mich.—The copper bar- ons and the Chamber of Commerce have succeeded in advancing star- | vation through the winter months here by telling the people to rest in peace. They told the people that Congress would put through a tar- iff on copper which would make things rosey in the copper country. The tariff, howver, was a failure insofar as the bill itself was con- cerned, but it succeeded in putting thousands of poor workers on the watchful waiting list. It has also acted as an anesthetic to keep the workers from organizing into Un- employed Councils. But the workers and farmers are talking organization now. They are outraged by the prosecuting attor- ney’s firey speeches against the farm- ers and his attempts to drive them away from the county seat every time they have a just demand to present. This prosecutor, Donnelly, grieved when the delegate Olson of the Na- tion Hunger March was allowed to ‘have the Memorial Building to pre- sent his report. y Donnelly is trying to incite the members of the American Legion against the workers and farmers. He made a speech before the Legion urging them to get busy as the farm- ers were turning Communist. ‘Well it is time for us workers and farmers to get busy. HITS MISSOURI GOVERNOR'S LIE Hunger ” Widespread Throughout State (By a Worker Correspondent) ST. LOUIS, Mo—Governor Caul- field of Missouri recently stated that there is no starvation in the state. Mayor Miller of St. Louis said that the Citizen's Relief Committee that has been set up by him for political and grafting purposes {s doing all in its power to alleviate unemployment. While these statements are being made, we find that the situation is growing from bad to worse. On thé 25th of April a family of 7 was evicted. For a year the worker did not work and the relief agencies gave them no support. Every conceivable excuse was given by the charity (gratfing) institutions to refuse him relief. The Unemployed Council wanted to put the furniture back but a friend of the workers has arranged for this worker to stay with his friend. Nevertheless, the Unemployed Coun- cil in that neighborhood held a meeting with about 200 workers. It was a very enthusiastic meeting. Many of the workers have joined the council and 15 young workers ex- pressed their willingness to join the Young Communist League. SOCIALISTS ARE LIBERALS IN OVERALLS (By a Worker Correspondent.)

Dog Gets Pompous Funeral; Workers Get Cut in Relief (By a Worker Correspondent.) ‘TIFFIN, O.—A -welthy race horse- man of this city, Frank recently. gave his pet Pomerenian dog a thousand dollar funeral. The cap- italist press went into great ecstacy over the event and described in de- tail the mausoleum that the turft- man proposes to build for the dead canine, Very little, however, is said in the press here about the hungry \ unemployed. - ‘| Men fortunate enough to have a _ Job here get from two to three days a week at the most. Some have not worked for a year. The mayor, John Dreitzler, said that he would cut off all city relief May 1. All the workers are dissatisfied and I am sure 75 per cent of them are ready to fight under the leadership of the Communist Party. Several workers I talked to here said that they are for forcing the government to take the money away from the rich fellows like the one who gave the funeral to the dog and turn it over to the unemployed. CHI. SOCIALIST BOASTS ABOUT GRAFT EXPLOIT Robs Workers of Hard Earned Pennies and Gloats Over It (By a Worker Correspondent.) CHICAGO, IllL—A few days ago I had a talk with Mr. Rabinovitz, sec- retary for 16 years of the Chicago Jewish branches of the socialist party. He told me a very interest- ing story which I think will interest the workers generally. Mr. Rabinovitz proudly described his “socialist? work as follows: “A few weeks ago I was foreman distributing posters from the 12th St. store. One day the manager called me up on the phone and said: ‘Two of our men are arrested for distributing Communist leaflets.’ “That's all right,’ said I, ‘I will go right over and fix things up’ And T went. “The lieutenant was my old friend and said that the two men were held for distributing Communist leaflets. | ‘What shall I do with them? he asked. “Those boys are not responsible,’ I said, and gave the leutenant $5 to let them go. “The next day I called the 23 dis- tributers together and told them if they wanted to distribute something sharper they must do this after work. I explained that I did not want any more trouble. “But this release cost me money, so I made the boys kick in. I col- lected $10; $5 clear profit, and be- sides I'm a good socialist.” His face was gleaming at the thought of $5 profit taken from the pockets of the 23 workers. IM. TOIL 16 HOURS IN FOUNDRY Men Get 15 Cents ‘An Hour for Heavy Work % Bloomington, Ill. Daily Worker: The Williams Oil-O-Matic Co is working their men thirteen hours per day and are paying 30 cents an hour. They are working the men about three to four days per week. They have slavedriving bosses there and a terrible speed-up system. At the Meadows Manufacturing Co. the em- ployes are not getting cash money for their work, They are getting scrip. They work eleven hours and from two to three daysper week. ‘The wages are 20 and 25 cents per hour, which is nothing but slavery. The Hazen & Coster stove foundry are going bankrupt and they are working their men between ten and sixteen hours per day. Their wages are 15 and 20 cents per hour. At this shop they have had a lot of trouble. A man was killed there. A scab killed @ picket during a strike. He was brought to trial and found not guilty. We ater found oult that the judge who tried the case is a arge stock- holder in the company. The union men are still picketing the shop, The Jack Louc Canning Co. is working ten hours per day, and are paying 15 cents per hour. ‘We realize that the workers are getting nothing but starvation wages for their work. Socialists Deny Workers Use of Hall On May Day (By a Worker Correspondent.) JERSEY CITY, N. J.—Jersey City beats czarist Russia and Pol- and in the subjection of the work- ers. On May Day the represen- tatives of the Communist Party who live in the city attempted to hold a meeting at the Fraternity Hall. The comrades had succeeded in renting the hall, but when everyone was assembled for the event permission to use the hall was refused. The owners of the hall, the Socialist Education Club of Hudson County (true repre- sentatives of Norman Thomas) had been prevailed upon or else had decided not to alow the work- ers to use the hal on this historic working class day —M.

Two Children Die of Starvation in Michigan Town (By a Worker Correspondent) FLINT, Mich—Two children, one 4 1-2 years old and the other & year old, died of starvation here recently (March 22). ‘The parents of these children, who live at 1713 Bennett St., were told by the poor commissioner of Genesee County to apply for relief at the superintendent of the poor’s Plied for help at the city welfare ee was juggled about until the BAsatiby: Wilibatse dencated that the children died of starvation, After the children died the vote getters for the McKeighan gang came to the worker with a ton of coal in order to get his vote in the coming elections, BEATEN BY POLICE the Scottsboro frame-up. ruling class, | This worker was brutally beaten by the police for protesttmg against Today workers throughout the world rally in masses and demand the immediate release of the nine Negro boys in Alabama who have been sentenced to the electric chair by the white SCEN S IN (By 2 Worker Correspondent) DETROIT, Mich.—Let us go for a little trip through the Ford plant. But let us shy clear of the places where Henry Ford always take his visitors. We will go to that part of the plant where the sun does not shine through. We will go to the foundry where the motor blocks are cast, In this department colored and white men are employed, Last sum- mer in the foundry men dropped off like flies. They were hustled out of the road and new men were brought in to take their place. Poison Gas Henry Ford never took any steps to get rid of the poison gas that was killing the men, How many men died last summer I do not know. They simply dropped off and were never heard of again. Day after day the men worked in a blanket of sand dust and gas fumes. When th emen fell, they were removed quickly by the stool pigeons and service men. Pro- ductions for profit had to go oln, Speed Up ‘Then Henry Ford speeded up pro- duction. He got out the same amount of production with 25 per cent less men. He bought the cheapest ap- pliances he could get and called them respirators. These devices are prac~ tically of no value to the workers whatsoever. “* = * In the steel mill, or more correctly, the rolling mill, Ford has had a bridge erected so that the visitors can see the hot metal being propelled through the dies of various forms. The most peculiar part of this mill is that the workers are never killed or maimed while the visitors are looking on. Steps have been taken to lower the speed while visitors are looking on. There is a tremendous amount of deaths and accidents in this part of the Ford systerh. I have seen on two occasions within very short periods MINER ILL FROM COMPANY FOOD Bosses Buy Booze But Deny Miners Relief (By = Worker Correspondent) FREDRICKTOWN, Pa.—A worker from the Millsboro Mine was taken to the hospital seriously ill. The doctor said he was sick from eating too many beans. In the company store there is no meat of any kind except fatback There is no flour ‘the most part of the time and no canned peas or any- thing like that. We are only allowed two cans of caned milk daily. There is no clothing or shoes in the store and no bread and very lit- tle few tools. When a miner goes there he has to take what they give him. The mine owners have no money to give the workers for clothes, food and tools, but they. have all kinds of funds to buy booze to give the miners on election day. At Clyde some of the miners must pay rent for the company houses even though they do not live in them. The superintendent of the Vestra 6 and his wife are the big shots in the “relief” work here. They do a lot of talking about relief, but no- body seems to get any, A TRIP BEHIND THE THE FORD PLANT AT DEARBORN men’s bodies being entwined by rods of moulten steel 4 inches thick and 3 Oto 40 feet long. The spasms of torture that these men went through were such that I can never look at a Ford bar but what I can hear the cries of these men. Safety Men Humbugs ‘The safety men of the Ford system are mostly humbugs and notoriously stupid; and should a Ford worker take it into his head to be careful as these people advise the whole Ford system would crack up. Ford did not make his money by being careful with workers. Increases output is what Ford wants. And increases out- put means increased accidents. All that I have said about the foundry and the rolling mill can also | he said about B. Building where the small parts and bodies are assembled, the spring upset and pressed steel building.

Some of the families are actually | starving to death. A farther of a family went to the doctor the other day and was told that he had the pellegra. His family is without food or clothes. This man asked the Red Cross for food, but he was given no relief be- cause he was too weak to work on the county road or clean the streets of Pineville. This family fared fairly well when the Nationa] Miners Un- ion was down here, but a bunch of gun thugs robbed the aid that the union brought down for the miners and since then we have been unable | | to get any more. There is still a few good old N. M. U. people here doing all they can for jthe union Three of the men here |turned out to be snitches for the | Pineville law. Their names are Bart White, E.

PACKING PLANT WORKERS FIRED Children Hired to Do | Men’s Work (By a Worker Correspondent) OMAHA, Neb.—The packing hot ‘a South Omaha are again laying off men. The exact number laid off is | not yet known by us, but it is heavy. The men are getting in an angry mood and are responding well to the |call of the Food Workers’ Industrial | League to organize. The youth here are doing the work of men and women for 25 cents an hour, the packers lay men off just as fast as \possible and hire mere children.

Paul Nof- ziker and wife came to Goshen from California, They rented rooms, but ran out of money and could not pay the rent. A baby was born 20 days ago. The little one was small and sickly. On April 25, when Mr. Nofziker was up town the mother and the 20-day-old baby and another child of three were set out on the street, despite the fact that the officials said there would be no more evictions. The Unemployed Council did not) hear of this case until a couple of| We could not find any/ officials except a township trustee. | He said there was no danger and the | days later. whole affair was only a bluff. Mr. Nofziker is an ex-serviceman and fought in France in the war of | 1917-1918. The Unemployed Council members are taking care of the fam- ily. The capitalist law says that the country can send the family back to Californit: to starve, but it makes no provision to give them relief or put a roof over their heads here. ‘There are 22 churches in this town. cc. Ss. everything was in perfect ordef, the Chief of Police told the members of |the Unemployed Council that we wouldn't get another permit to hold any more dances where coored people pitended.

The Chief still said that if we held our dance, that he would frame the col- ored people who came. We are mobilizing the workers to | | fight against this ban and will force the police and others to keep their hands off. We expect some new developments in the next few days. Willys Overland Co. ‘loses Doors; Brings In Machine Guns (By a Worker Correspondent) TOLEDO, Ohio.—The Willys | Overland Automobile Co., which is located here, is bankrupt with a deficit of over $2,000,000, Having failed to obtain a loan from the | government they have shat down completely. The company has re- called John N. Willys, ambassador to Poland, to take charge of the last hopes of restoring the plant. The workers, suffering with starvation, are bitter against the capitalists and the capitalist sys- tem. The company has 450 armed guards around the factory. The guards work in three shifts, 150 men working on a shift. Last week the Willys Overland Co, received a carload of ammuni- tion and tear gas bombs with 50 machine guns and 500 rifles. Some of the “good” politicans have sug- | gested opening houses of prosti- tution where daughters of the unemployed could support their families, Scores of workers who have | been unable to find work during the last year are commiting suicide to escape starving to death, el \BLOCK COMMITTEE IN _ BRONX ORGANIZES 22 FAMILIES; WINS AID |Forces Reduction in Rent; Makes City Give Checks for Food New Worke Club; Jobless Council Rallies to Fig ht Evictions | Builds } (By a Worker NEW YORK.—The which was organ Corre spondents ) Lower Bronx Unemployed Council ed recently has to its credit the best block committee organized in New York City—the Beck Street Block Committee. This block committee was organized on the basis of immediate relief, to stop evictions, and to reduce rents.

PHILADELPHIA—I am a laundry worker. We slave from 10 to 17 hours a day. During the years of so-called prosperity the girls were getting a lordly wage of $12 a week, but since then they got three wage-cuts, till they are getting now $7, providing they work a full week. Most of the time they work 12 hours a day on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Then they are laid off for the re: ites the week, so they receive about | per week, and out of this most of | them have families to support, as at the present time the women are the providers for their families, since the men cannot find any jobs. Fines, This miserable low wage is furthe reduced, as there is an elaborate sys- tem of fines. We are “deducted” for coming in late, for mistakes in sort- ing the bags, packing, ironing and what not. If a shirt is found to have @ grease spot after being ironed a fine is paid, Speed-Up. The speed-up is terrible. W not allowed a minute's rest, work continuously. In some shops they put in almost 24 hours on Mon- day alone. I do not think conditions under slavery could be ony worse. But this is in a free country in the City of Brotherly Love, where the mayor gives the unemployed clubs instead of relief. are In our shop we happen to 1 an ex-socialist for a boss.
