DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, THURSDAY, MAY 26, 1932 Bend, Oregon, Lumber Workers Imbued with New Figthing Spirit T. U. U. L. Program Knocks Out Old Illusions Peddled by Lumber Barons (By a Worker Correspondent) BEND, Ore.—There is much suffering in, this little feudal saw-mill town here, With its population pf seven thousand, the saw mill owners are the sole dictators as to whether a worker shall eat or starve. The saw-mills are running under the Hoover Stagger plan, with the low wage of $2.69 per day. (Loyal Legion of Loggers and Lumbermen) who's favorite pastime is to beost the bosses’ products. The 4-L’s official organ ‘“4-L News” devotes considerable space to the sickness of the lumber industry and misleadingly attributes this sickness to Soviet lumber dumping. It takes great delight in its editorials when @- aking of the Soviet Union, by T- U- U. L. At the last two meetings nay Ag terms “forced labor.” Oc- , Which were conducted by Comrade easionally their editorials gave the impression (to the non-class con- scious workers) that the 4-L’s are ‘i “revolutionary” by the use of “left” phrases, such as “the centralization of wealth into fewer hands” etc. A Change. Takes Place. But a decided change is taking place here. ‘The saw-mill workers particularly the unemployed have come in contact with the revolu- tionary program of the Unemployed Councils and the T. U. U. L. For the first time in the history of Bend the Unemployed Council and the T. U. U. L. have been conducting open air meetings. Two very successful meet- ings were held May Ist. This was followed up with two more open air meetings a week ago, one in the heart of the city and the other in the city park. Speakers at both these meetings came from Portland. At the last meeting the Unemployed Council was definitely established with the necessary officials elected. It was further decided to hold re- gular outdoor meetings every Sa- turday evening. In this case local speakers will outline the program of the Unemployed Council and the DeJonge and the May First meet- ings by Comrades Sidney and Gin- ther a large amount of literature was sold. In one of the local pool- halls hangs a large sign reading: “Organize. Join the Unemployed Council.” There are a few S. L. P.’s here who are tryin gto discourage the Unemployed Council movement by confusing the workers minds into the belief that the Unemployed Council and the T. U. U. L. are of anarchistic nature. These few pseu- do-revolutionists of the sewing circle variety worked their provoca- tive scheme to the extent that the mill-bosses on May First augmented their mill guards because it was “rumored” (apparently by the S, L. P.) “that the Portland Bolsheviks were going to incite the workers to burn down the mills.” That the workers are going to re- sent the wage-cuts imposed upon them by the bosses and that the unemployed Will demand adequate relief from the 4-L and boss con- trolled Community Chest is unques- tionable. Bend Mill Worker. Suggests Loud Speakers to Defend U.S. S. R. Dear Comrades: It is known that the whole capi- talist world wants lo attack the So- viet Union. Japan is ready and is prepared to strike at any date. When the ifpperilaisis strike I” be- lieve the Red Army should do some- thing. never done before in human history, In my opinion the Russian workers. should install loud speak- ers in every convenient place so that good speeches could be delivered to |. ‘he troops of the imperialist armies. Editorial Note: — Our comrade from Chicago can be assured that the-Russian workers will. defend well the new socialist state against any imperialist invaders. But this is only part of the problem. The American workers must be aroused to defend the Soviet Union. We Americans can best defend the Se- viet Union at this period by arous- ing our fellow workers against bloody Japanese imperialism which is leading the drive against the Soviet Union over the bodies of thousands of dead Chinese work- ers and peasants. Organize strikes in the munition factories. Stop the shipments of munitions and war materials to Japan. Show. the world that American workers will not stand for war against the So- viet Union.

Ontonagon County Workers Boiling Mad (By a Worker Correspondent) WHITE PINE MINE, Mich—The starvation and attacks against the workers in Ontonagon County has in- creased. There was a demonstration in Ontonagon April 30th which was broken up by the sheriffs and the American Legion. Gene Island, Ern- est Koski and Ted Arvola were ar- rested for an attack against the work- ers and poor farmers. This man with 25 members of the Legion went to Hancock May Day, to help break up! the workers’ meeting, but they did not dare to start trouble as there were 2,500 or more in the demon- stration. The workers throughout Houghton and Ontonagon Counties are just, boiling mad against Mr. Donnelly’s attacks. There will be @ protest demonstra- tion June 4 to demand the with- drawal of all charges against the three comrades arrested. Another demon- stration is scheduled for June 6th when the case comes up in court. ‘We appeal to all workers to send in protests in to Mr. Joe Donnelly.

The fascist demagogic pseudo-struggle against the “system” succeeded in exploiting a great part of the pre- vailing discontent; however, the Hit- ler Party was financed by capitalism in order to prevent the masses from overthrowing the system of exploita- tion and oppression and establishing a fascist dictatorship. Only the Communist Party conducted a real struggle against capitalism, the Ver- sailles Treaty and the oung Plan. Only the Communist Party gought fascism, whilst the socialists contin- ued their attempts to deceive the masses and detract from the struggle outside of parliament. ‘The toleration policy. of the social~ ists have paved the way for fascism and hampefed the mass struggle against fascism.
