\ 1 tage shree We Have Built a Palace of Culture, Say Coal Miners In the Soviet Union We Are Building Houses and Live in Warm, Light Pleasant Dwellings Dear Comrades: We are miners in the Novo ‘Stalinshina; US.S.R. Smolianin Mine at Stalinshina, We wish to inform you how we are fulfilling the Five-Year Plan in four years. In the old Tsarist Russia, we coal hewers received 2 rubles 20 kopecks for a 12 hour day. Now we work a 6 hour day, and receive a steady wage of 7 rubles 18 kopecks. As for unemployment and poverty, they do not exist here as they do in your country. On the contrary, with new enormous | factories being started and new® mines opened, we have a shortage of workers. We have thé pleasure of inviting foreign workers to come and work together with us and build up Socialism. Foreign engineers receive up to 1,000 rubles a month, and less highly \ “qualified workers récsive from 250 ) rubles to 450 rubles. ; Let us mention our living condi- tions. We are building new houses, and we live in warm, light and pleas- ant dwellings. In the old days, only high officials, landlords and bour- geoisie lived in such hous:s, but now they dre occupied by workers. ‘11:4 management of our place of work give bedding for unmarried workers. At work we receive working cloths. We shall improve these conditions till they are ten times better. We have built 4 Palace of Culture, 200 houses, laid a tram line so that we can travel to work, whereas we for- merly hed to work 5 to 10 versts to work and home again. These aré our achievements. We are not satisfied to stop at this point, but we shall move forward along the sem? path. Thanks for the letter which you sent us. We await a more detailed letter.

The Attack Negro Workers in Philadelphia Jim- Crow Restaurant (By a Worker Correspondent) Philadelphia, Pa. Dear Comrades: Last week two Negro workers were assaulted in a Jim-Crow restaurant by the husband of the waitress- propriettess’ husband. She had started to run them out with a butcher knife for asking to be serv- ed. One of the workers had his spine injured. A police thug picked them up and arrested them, hold- ing them in jail for six hours. There séems to be an attempt to make a “repe” frame-up out of this, A Négro worker, needing medical attention, walked from Holmesburg to Géneral Hospital. He asked for car- faré to return and was told, “bum your way back.” A worker by the name of Turner was kicked out of the “Homie of Shel- ter” and givén fare to Holmesburg, one-way. Upon arrival he was re. fused admission.

What about the hundreds of girls who must accept such wages? (They should join the Office Workers Union's department store section and fight for better conditions. The union is at 80 E. 11th St—Ed.).

A large section of the veterans quartered in the commandeered buildings on Twelth Street have Placed up as for commander can- didate of the B. E. F. George Pace, leader of the Workers Ex-Service- men’s League. Pace was elected commander of the 14th Regiment last week and has been the outstand- ing leader of, the veterans along the line of militant struggle. Yesterday a group of aroused worker vets forced the remnants of the Waters gang to give shelter to a mother and two children, members of the bonus army who had been ousted from their tent for two days by the military police because the mother insisted on militant action to win the bonus. T. W. Evans, chaplain of the B. E. F., sanctioned the ousting of the woman and the two children from their shelter. The bonus army has not decreased. Although some have left for home, they have been replaced by new ar- rivals. New contingents of veterans are forming all over the country and many are now on their way to the Capital to join their comrades in the fight. Demand Extra Session. The Workers Ex -Servicemen’s League issued a call today for the vets to demand an extra session of Congress to take up the bonus. Posts of the Workers Ex-Servicemen’s Leagoe throoghout the country are organizing new groups to march to Washington to reenforce the contin- gents already there. James Davis, a Negro veteran, member of the Post 2 W. B. S. L., was refused relief by the Salvation Army when he applied for a pair of working pants. “If you quit the bonus army,” said the Salvation Army officer in charge of the “relief,” you can have the pants. Otherwise you will haye to go without them.” The Salvation Army has a large tent in Camp Anacosti where the usual religious hokum is dished out in place of food and relief. Okla. Workers in Defeat Attempt to Tar, Feather Leaders BLACKWELL, Okla. (By Mail).— Quick action on the part of workers and farmers prevented the tarring and feathering of five of their lead- ers when @ mass meeting attended by 400 was broken up by a well-or- ganized band of armed hoodlums, who swooped down upon the meeting and with drawn guns attacked the speaker, J. I. Whidden, Communist Party organizer, Usual Crew. The gang, composed of American Legion leaders, jocal businessmen and their hirelings, swarmed upon the platform, carrying revolvers, black- jacks—and an American flag. ‘The surrounded Whidden, who was speaking, and tried to force him to salute the flag and to join them in singing “America,” Although they HOOVERVILLE, U.

She walked about ut- tering cries of despair as tears streamed down her face. In a corner her children stood, huddled and won- dering. “Put Your Name On File.” “Do you mean there will be no more groceries?” the mother asked. “Not even for the children?” I'm sorry, but there will be no more food,’ ’was the cool reply. “what will we do?” the woman asked. “My husband walks the streets all day, trying to sell ice cream. But hundreds of unemployed are doing the same, and my husband earns only 25 or 30 cents a day. He hasn’t had a steady job for two years now and we owe everybody.” Another woman’s husband is a marble worker, but there is, of course, no work. One Potato for Six. “Night after night my children went to bed hungry,” said this mother. “At one time all we had in the house for a day was one potato and two slices of bread for six hun- gry mouths. When my little boy got sick, we had to take him {p a hos- pital for an operation. Neighbors gave me bread for the other children. “We owe $161.00 in rent and we've got to pay something or get put out. We owe a grocery bill of $78.91 and our credit is exhausted.” Beginning to See! .The husband stood by, tall and grim-faced. “I used to earn good wages,” he said, “but three years ago I began using my savings because I was working only part time. Two years ago the plant at which I was employed closed. I sold my automo- bile, had the telephone removed and watched carefully the outgo of every penny.” He was silent for a minute. “I don’t know what I'm going to do, but I know the spirit of hundreds of unemployed men who are face to face with this same siuation. They are not going to let their children starve.” This determination, thus far form- less and unorganized on his part, is being expressed in the activity of the St, Louis Unemployed Councils which has conducted a large number of! militant demonstrations demanding real relief for the thousands of starv. ing of the city. Nor will they let pass this latest attempt of the St. Louis bosses to cut off even the miserable pretense of “relief” under the guise of “no funds available.” Meeting Trim Mob nearly broke Whidden’s arm, and smashed him repeatedly about the head till he was nearly unconscious, they did not suceeed in forcing him | either to sing or to salute. Enger- son, another comrade, was also beaten. Rush Into Action. “The workers and farmers in the audience were taken completely by) surprise, so sudden was the attack, and it was not until the thugs loaded the five leading comrades into an automobile and started out with them to the edge of the town with the avowed purpose to tar and feather them, did the workers and farmers get into action. Quite a number of them got into their cars and set out after the fascist band; others first went to their homes and got their guns, The thugs, scared by the closeness of the pursuit, were forced to release our comrades, who In Hooverville, there is ST.

Araki in Bid for Joint Attack on U:8..5. R. The sharpening clash of interests between the two imperialist brigands, | Japan and the U. S. A., was further emphasized yesterday with the open- ing of a campaign to whip up war sentiment by the jingo press of both papers denounced the recent Japa- nese ultimatum to the United States as “an affront” to the Wall Street government, The Japariese ultima- tum was issued by Viscount Ishii, who warned the Hoover Government that any attempt on its part to resist the Japanese “program of expansion” on the Asiatic mainland would result in war. The Japanese have rejected the Hoover “arms cut” proposals and de- fy the Wall Street Government’s pro- test against the Japanese seizure of the Chinese customs revenues at Darien, The Hoover Government fears that the Japanese seizure of these customs will further weaken the Nanking Government and thus undermine American influence in China. The Hoover “arms cut” proposals aim to strengthen imperialism at the ex- pense of its rivals. The proposals call for American naval equality with England and reduction oif the armed forces of Japan and France. ‘The Japanese jingo press is assail- ing the Hoover “arms cut” proposals as a direct attack on Japan, Both the Japanese jingo press and Gen. Araki, Japanese war minister, yester- day attacked the existence of the So- viet Union as a “menace” to world capitalism. In this way, they hope to rally world imperialism behind Ja- pan on the basis of a joint armed intervention against the Soviet Union and its triumphant socialist construc- tion. Strong opposition to the Hoover “arms cut” proposals is also expressed in French and British imperialist cir- cles. The American imperialists are fully aware that the Hoover propo-) sals are absolutely unacceptable to their imperialist rivals. Such deceitful proposals are al- ways cleverly designed for rejection by the other imperialist powers. The only genuine disarmament proposals made by the Soviet Union, was re- jected by the imperialists. The churches were also mobilized on Sunday to support Wall Street's drive to camouflage its war prepara- tions under cover of the sham Hoover “arms cut” proposals. 66 CENTS, 4 COWS, 2 DAYS Raymond Rowe, of Strangburg, South Dakota, sends the Daily Work- er a slip for 66 cents, which, he says, “represents the income of a farmer from four cows for two days and approximately eight hours of hard labor, a gross income of 33 cents a day in these times of Hoover's un- precedented prosperity.” 25,000 new members into the Par- ty during the election campaign!

CONVENTION HALL 150 Delegates Map Communist Drive for the Ballot NEGRO FOR CONGRESS Rousing Welcome for Scottsboro Mothers CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., June 27.— One hundred and fifty delegates, Ne~ gro and white, employed and unem- ployed, from all sorts of workers’ mass organizations, met here yester- day in the Tennessee State nomin- ating convention of the Communist Party. Smashing by use of Harlan and) Bell County, Ky., gun thugs at the, Communist county convention at Jel- lico the day before did not terrorize these workers. Neither did the plac- | ing of a police guard at the door- way of Mason Hall. “We must stick together and stick to our rights. All of us should sup- port the Communist Party and vote for Foster and Ford,” declared Mrs. Patterson, mother of Roy Patterson, one of the seven Negro boys sentenced to death in Scottsboro. Mrs. Wil- Mams, mother of Eugene Williams, one of the two Scottsboro boys who are to stand a new trial, also spoke and supported the Communist pro- gram. “Regardiness of Race” The convention gave a rousing wel- }come to the Scottsboro mothers, and {passed a resolution demanding the |release of the boys. Jeff Johnson, a Negro miner nom- inated for congress by this conven- tion, expressed the spirit of the whole session when he said: “Now that we) co-operate regardless of color or race, we will handicap the bosses like they handicapped us.” Many delegates spoke on the neces- sity of uniting the struggle of Negro and white workers. The convention meets in a state which prevents un- employed workers and the miners on | starvation pay, from voting at all, jby demanding that they first pay a $2.50 poll tax. The fight for “the right to vote will be a big issue in the Communist campaign. Nominate The convention nominated twelve presidential electors for Foster and Ford, and elected a committee of nine to manage the Communist state election campaign. It chose as nom- inees for state office: Charlie Marlowe, a farmer, for governor; Jess Smith, a miner, con- gressman from the first district; Jeff Johnson, congressman from the sec~ ond district; Fred Starr, a Negro la- borer, congressman from the third district; Ollie Overton, a factory worker, congressman from the tenth district. ALABAMA COP MURDERS NEGRO Laborers Paid 40Cents for 12-Hour Day BIRMINGHAM, June 27.—An un- identified Negro worker was shot to death by police several nights ago. The police justify the murder by claiming that the dead man was caught in the act of stealing chick- ens. According to bourgedis traditions Negroes are either “stealing chick- ens” or “raping” white women, These slanders are used to “justify” the savage. terror against the Negro masses aimed at maintaining the brutal oppression and robbery of the white landlords and bankers. The conditions of the Negro masses in the “Black Belt” has grown increas- ingly worse during the ¢risis. 40 Cents for 12 Hours’ Work. Reports from Camp Hill, Ala., show that Negro farm laborers are being forced to work 12 hours a day for 40 cents. Of this amount 25 cents goes to feed the stock and only 15 cents remain for the for the laborer’s family. Recently Ralph Meadows, a white landlord, brutally attacked a Negro cropper for disputing the amount of a bill presented by a white merchant. Tm the South it is a crime for a Ne- gro to dispute the word of a white man, Croppers Organize, The Negro share croppers in the Camp Hill territory are organizing their committees of the Share Crop- pers’ Union despite the murderous terror of the bosses, a terror which took five victims a few months ago and threw over 32 croppers into jail. Thecroppers are energetically devel- oping the struggle for local demands and for self-determination for the Negro majorities in the Black Belt, with the confiscation of the land of the rich landowners for the poor Ne- gro and white farmers, “ROAD TO LIFE,” IN CLEVELAND The usual picture of Russia's “Begprizornie” will be shown Tuesday and Wednesday, at the Jennings Theatre, 2236 W. 14th St. and ‘Thurs- day, Friday and Saturday, June 30th, and July ist and 2nd at the Bolair ‘Theatre, 7606 St, Clair Ave. Oleve- land, 2G Oe for Hitler Holds Seat * Chancellor Van Papen, head of the baron cabinet of Germany.

IN BUDAPEST, June 27.—A fascist party of the Hitlerite type loomed here when Boltan Mesko, a member of Parliament, attired in a brown shirt and with a mustache like the one worn by the German Nazi, an- nounced its program. Mesko’s program is just as dema- gogic as the program of Adolf Hitler. It calls for restoration of Rumania’s borders while pretending to be against profiteers and embezzlers The anti-Soviet character of the movement is clearly indicated by the |demand that Bessarabia be “return- ed” to Rumania.

The name of Alex Reynolds, Carpenter, Ky., also appears on the list of ex-soldiers. Alex Reynolds died in the Fall of 1931. The Communist Party is answer- » )ing this vicious attack by mobilizing the masses of worker ex-servicemen for the support of the Party, along with the hundreds of miners and farmers, Negro and white. The Workers Ex-Servicemen are preparing to circulate a petition de- nying that they signed the forged petition offered by the Republican candidate as a vote catcher. They are conscious of the fact that only | the Communist Party puts up a real fight for immediate payment of the bonus, for unemployment insurance of jobless exservicemen, against im- Pperialist wars and the whole hunger system of capitalism.
