Samuel Lee of the State Law Enforcement Depart- ment openly announces that he has advised growers te shoot at anyone coming on their fields to picket. Lee was sent into the strike area by Governor Adams., Many of the most active pickets thus menaced are women and children strikers. tier gar? DENVER, Colo, May 29.—The} trike of the 18,000 Colorado beet in the most critical srew steadily last week, around Fort Lupton, struck as soon 4s four carloads of pickets came in, and others followed. In the Northern field, the German and Russian beet workers are walking off even where there is no picketing. Very success- | ful meetings were held in Fort Mor- | the German-Russian center, and | stage. It particularly where 150 | gan, the strike committee has been | | strengthened by new delegates. In Hillrose a meeting of 125 took place jand 100 were poor tenant farmers who are now being involver in the strike. The propagands of the sugar com- pantes has been shown up, the fas- cist “Spanish-American” leaders who fought the strike have been exposed, |Preachers who denounced the strike from the pulpit have ben silenced by the spontancous outburst of resent- ment among their flocks. ‘The beets are already three times the proper size for thinning and are being choked. But inability to farnish relief is already causing some breaks in the strike; some are being starved back to work, In Johnstown, even at the beginning of last week, the starva- tion was absolutely tragic. Strikers, almost dying on their feet, were dividing their one totilia (a kind of pancake of flour and water) between the members of a whole family. The Red Cross cut off the government | dole of flour from the strikers. These people had been living on this meager help, and are now literally starving. Lack of relief and evictions are particularly bad around Greeley and it is impossible to raise much money locally, since the only farmers who are sympathetic are those that are starving themselves and the mer- chants and most of the townspeople are tied up with the sugar com- panies. During the heavy rains of the last two days strikers have been evicted in Many places and their furniture Gumped in the ditches alongside the road. The question of relief within the next few days is absolutely decisive. If some food or funds with which to buy food come in the strikeers will surély win. If no more comes in than has been coming the strike will be broken in the very near futare. So far not one tent has arrived for the evicted families, though some are on the way. If these tents and others get here in time, the strike will be greatly strengthened, Send food packages AT ONCE to United Front Relief Committee and the Workers’ International Relief, 1154 Eleventh St., Denver, Colo.

In Longmont, home of Thomas | Mahoney, Catholic welfare agent who ‘has had to admit starvation and peonage conditions in the beet fields, the Catholic clergy nevertheless at- tacks the strike and raises the "Red issue.” Speakers have exposed this propaganda as a strike-breaking tac- tic by Mahoney and have explained to local strikers the whole method of insuring their own control of the strike through freely elected united front strike committees, chosen by all the strikers without regard to polities, religion or union member- ship.

These delegates will represent very important up state sections where the conditions. of the workers are miserable. Even less is being done for the workers in that part of the state as to any unemployment relief than in any other part of the state. Some form of work relief was once given in some parts of the up-state section, but as in Elmire, for in- stance, this relief is being cut off, thé local administration using con- viet labor on the roads. At tho same time, these very same officials help raise the false cry of convict labor in the Soviet Union in order to pre- judi¢e the workers against the Soviet Union, and help prepare the grounds for an attack against the only work- ers fatherland — the only country where there is no unemployment. Workers are responding with great enthusiasm to the call of the Com- | munist Party, and all very willingly give their signatures to help place the Communist candidates on the ballot. But since the territory is| large, this very important section | cannot be covered by the workers | PICKET TUESDAY AT REMINGTON NEW YORK.—The strike of the Remington-Rand printing workers continues strong with vigilant picket ing going on every day at the plant | in Brooklyn and at the central of- fices and at downtown show rooms in New York. Almost every trick possible has been | employed by the bosses to break the | strike, but each meets with dismal | failure. The hoax of closing down | the plant has not fooled the strikers, the hiring of scabs through the | Academy Agency and the Employing | Printers’ Association proves futile, | due to good handling of the scabs. Only one scab is now working. In) order to acquaint the jobless printers | with the fact that a strike is going | on, a leaflet, drawn up by the Print- | ing Workers’ Industrial League and/| approved by the strikers at eat meeting, will be distributed at van-| tage points to answer the agency's | statement to printers that “It is just | a job.” Threats of hiring gangsters to break the strike fall on deaf ears and the sentiment of the strikers is ably expressed by one: picketing if necessary.” A relief committee of two will be elected Tuesday to handle a few needy cases and to care for distribu- tion of food while on picket duty. The committee will work with an- other committee of two from the Workers’ International Relief, which hag already arranged for a dramatic group to put on plays at the meet- ings to keep up the fine moral of the strikers. An afafir is also being arranged for. ‘ All workers who can are urged to come to Flatbush Ave. Extension, near Tillary St., Brooklyn, Tuesday morning to picket the plant.
