Is Typical; Tax Schemes and Privately-Conducted Bread Lines JAPAN BUIL Home Victims of Japan’s Hunger and War Program R.R.NEAR THE USSR BORDER |To Facilitate Troox Movements Thru Korea By WILLIAM TAYLOR :PICHMOND, the capital of Vir- ginia is a glaring example of the serious unemployment situation that is developing in that state- Here alone there are no less than 12,000 unemployed out of a popula- tion comprising 186,000 persons, ‘The Negroes make up about one- third of the total population, but in the number of unemployed, the percentage of Negroes amounts to about 50 per cent. TOBACCO IS MAJOR INDUSTRY The major industry in Richmond, tobacco, is dominated and con- trolled by the American Tobacco Co., which is known here as the outstanding ,labor-hating outfit in the state, where women make $6 or $7 and men from $10 to $12 a week- A recent report issued by the Richmond City Welfare Depart- ment states that unemployment is steadily increasing. From the same report it 1s evident that so far lit- tle is being done by the city ad- ministration to provide the unem- ployed with sufficient relief. The report shows that for the period from February 1, 1932, to July 21, 1982, the city spent the magnifi- cent sum of $90,659-01,, which aver- ages about $3,400 per week. Of the above amount, the unemployed re- ceived $51,526.40. for work done, forced labor on the city parks and cemeteri RELIEF CUT DOWN Relief is given to married men and women only. The men get one or two days work a week in ac- cordance with the size of the fam- ily. For this they receive $2 a day in scrip, Qnly a few months ago the city used to pay the unemploy- ed $2.40 a day, but since the Red Gross began distributing the flour donated by the Federal Farm Board (which does not cost the city a penny), the City Welfare De- partment used this as a pretext to cut the wages of the unemployed 40 cents a day. Chamber of Commerce and real estate sharks demand reduction of real estate taxes. During the last few months the Chamber of Com- merce and the Richmond Real Es- tats Exchange: have organized a campaign to force the City Council to reduce the taxes on real estate 25 cents per hundred dollar valua- tion. The campaign is undoubtedly. financod by the big bankers, and is eonducted under the cover of help- ing the 15,000 property holders of the city. Now what is in reality behind this demagogic campaign of the gentlemen representing the big business men of the city? The truth of the matter is that Election Robbery by Misleaders of Miners in Illinois ‘BENLD, I1.—On August 22, a mass meeting was called at the Benld City Park in order to organize the miners for the march to Southern Illinois and to pick out committees to lead the march, At this meeting’ the chairman gave instructions and also called for the nomination of men to serve on the committees that he said were needed. As the men’s names were sug- gested, the chairman repeated them, in order that only one name would be called at a time, but he did not seem to hear all of the names called. At first this seemed accidental, but was repeated as each committee was picked out. A committee was also picked out in order to write the news as it happens and send it in to all presses, foreign seemed deaf and did not hear all of and English, Again the chairman the names called and who should be on the committee but storekeepers, a teacher and a printer, who do not work in the mine. One of the men who was picked on the committee never was on the picket line or any movement of the miners last week. —A Miner's Daughter. EDITOR'S NOTE:—Some of the local leaders in the Mlinois strike were Musteites and some Trotsky- ites, both of whom proposed peace- ful striking without mass picketing, It is evidently one of these that was chairman on Aug. 22. And it is no wonder that the Daily Worker has not received one word from the press committee elected this way. All our news comes from other sources, Campbell County in Worst Plight in Its History, Says Farmer (By a Worker Correspondent) CAMPBELL COUNTY, Tenn. — “Things are bad here now—the worst I have ever seen them. Of course it’s the miners that are hardest hit, working only a day or two a week at $1-$2 a day, and they have to trade at company stores. People taik a lot about ‘back to the farm’, but it doesn’t work around here at least. Lots of miners have forgotten how to farm, It costs so much to start a man with feed, fertilizer and tools, and there's no place to gbt the money. There are no houses left, either. Most of the miners have gardens, but that's not enough. Almost all of them have to bave some sort of relief to keep go- ing. many workers are losing their homes now not because they don’t pay their city taxes, but because of the bankers and the real estate sharks who hold their mortgages and securities and are closing in on them because of inability to meet their payments. These sharks now own and control thousands of homes in the city, and that ex- plains why they talk so much now in favor of the reduction, If anybody is entitled to a re- duction ih the real estate tax it is the small property owners of homes up to about $5,000, many of whom are unemployed now: ROTTEN FOOD Richmend, like every other capi- talist city today, is blessed with a breadline. Twice a week, on Wednesday and Saturday (it will be only once a week during the month of August), one can see several hundred men and women colored and white, standing tucked up in a back alley on North Adams St, waiting for hours to get a mouldy loaf of bread, some rotten onions, and a few potatoes, and occasion- ally'a small piece of salted pork. On a number of occasions some of the bread was mouldy that the un- employed workers threw the loaves of bread out into the gutter and went hungry instead. Very often it happens that half the workers are turned away with- out any food at all, and in most cost cases the majority of those turned away are the Negro workers. A new regulation was introduced since August 3, calling upon all those that want to enjoy the plea- | sure of standing for hours in the | breadline to obtain a letter from Ciuher a landlord, parson, or busi- ness man, stating that they actu- | ally need relief. Isn’t it wonder- | ful? BREADLINE ON | PRIVATE BASIS By the way, it must also be men- tioned that the breadline is run on a private basis. A gentleman by the name of D. L. wen, who used to decorate people’s homes before the crisis hit him hard enough, had decided to do something for | the poor unemployed, and in order | to obtain for himself a place in heaven (and spot cash on earth), is making constant appeals to the public for funds and food. MUST ORGANIZE The coming winter, from all in- dications, promises to be the most Severe since the crisis began, and there is no earthly reason why the unemployed in Richmond, with the | support of the employed and par- tially employed, could not organ- ize Unemployed Committees of their own, like the workers in other cities throughout the country. Build up a strong Unemployed | Council. Work out a program of demands to provide the unemploy- | ed in the city with sufficient relief for the winter period. The city of Richmond must find ways and means to appropriate at least $300,- 000 to make it possible for the un- employed to keep body and soul to- gether, as human beings should. The program of demands should be presented some time in Sep- tember, when the new City Coun- | cil takes office, and before the budget for 1933 is adopted. VOTE COMMUNIST Against Hoover's wage-cutting policy. The American specialists have al- Ways maintained that it would be Possible to mechanize the work of cotton harvesting when “thinking” machines had been invented. In place of the thinking machines they have employed Negro workers, these cheap human machines to whom scant consideration is shown, Technical Difficulties The difficulty of mechanizing the cotton harvest lies in the circum- stance that the cotton crop does not ripen’ all at once, but must be har- vested in three different periods. At the first harvest only a part of the cotton pods are open; the rest must be left on the stems. Later on the greater part of the pods ripen and are gathered at the second harvest. At the third harvest, the pods, which are only half open, and those which are not open at all are gathered. There were needed therefore cotton harvesting machines which can “dis- tintuish” the ripe from the unripe ‘This difficulty has‘now been over- come by Soviet industry. This year thousands of cotton harvesting ma- chines will be used for gathering the cotton harvest. The achievement of the cotton har- vesting machine stands to the credit of two small Soviet factories, the Factory “First of May” in Bjelaya Zerkoy, and “Petrovski” in Cherson. Success of Soviet Technique In the factory “First of May” there was constructed the first cotton har- vesting machine, a massive, compli- cated, pneumatic machine, which gathers the first and second cotton harvests. The machine sucks the cotton out of the open pods and gathers it in reservoirs. Although the production of such machines is MORE WAR FUNDS Diet Appropriates 175 Million Yens Chinese forced “bor is being used by the Japanese to rush the construc- tion of a new strategic railway to more closely link up the Manchurian rail system with that of Korea. Rash- in, on the eastern coast of Korea, and only 100 miles from the Soviet port of Vladivostok, has been selected as the seaport terminus for the new line, The line is aimed to facilitate the movement of troops from Japan through Korea against the Manchur- jan partisan forces and for armed intervention against the Soviet Union and Soviet Mongolia. Held Up By Rebels It is now ‘revealed that work was |Started on the line several months ago, but was held up because of the widespread activities of both Korean and Manchurian rebels on the Ko- rean- Manchurian borders. Large Japanese forces are now being used to protect the line against raids and to terrorize Chinese laborers who are being forced to do the construction work at the point of the bayonet. Rashin is also to be converted into a big naval commercial port. One hundred miles from Vladivostok it is Jess than ten miles from the Korean- Siberian borders. Vote New War Funds Japanese Premier Saito yesterday called upon the Japanese Diet to ap- propriate an additional: 175,000,000 yens (about $39,000,000 at, the present low exchange rate of the yen) for war purposes under the pretext of affording relief to the ruined peas- antry. The War and Navy Depart- ments are to get 18,500,000 yens each to “provide employment.” large sums are to be expended for war preparations such as the con- struction of harbors, strategic rail- ways, ete, Japanese troops invading Jehol Province are still held up by the heroic resistance of Chinese volun- teers who are challenging the. trai- torous plans of the Nanking Butcher Government to permit the Japanese to seize the province without resist- ance, * In Manchuria itself, the peasant partisan forces are continuing their successful national revolutionary war against the Japanese invaders. The latter have been driven out of huge sections of Manchuria and are be- lJeaguered in the hig cities. CALL ARGENTINA GENERAL, STRIKE The Argentine Regional Labor Federation, under left wing leader- ship, called a general strike through- out the republic, a dispatch to the jcapitalist press from Buenos Aires linformed yesterday. 4 The strike, according to the above- mentioned dispatch, was to start jyesterday at 6 o'clock. Its purpose \is to protest and force the repeal of a recent judicial ruling, which de- clares that some unions affiliated |with the Federation are illegal. Thousands of port workers, taxi drivers, bakers, metal workers, etc., will be involved in this strike. Problem of Mechanized Harvesting Solved in the U.S.S.R. something new for the little factory “First of May,” it surpassed its pro- duction program for 1931 and turned Not only in cotton but also in the dairy field the U.

J,, Aug. 26.—Police attacked an open air election rally of the Communist Party here and ar- rested four workers. Over one thou- sand workers were present at the meeting and when ordered to break up refused to do so, They battled the police who brutally beat up Harry Daniels and Alex Holp. All of the arrested, charged with inciting to riot, unlawful assembly, resisting arrest and assault and bat- tery, are out on $1,000 bail each. A large crowd is expected to attend the trial in protest on Tuesday morning. Iowa Mine Wage Cut Depends on Illinois DES MOINES, Iowa. Aug. 26.— Three to four thousand coal miners in the Des Moines area are threat- ened with a wage cut from $5.80 for inside day laborers to $5 or leas; jpending the outcome of the Illinois situation. Frank Wilson of Albia, president of District 13 of U. M. W. A. says Iowa miners will take no action on wage scale adjusment until the Illinois scale is settled. The present agree- ment ends April 1st, 1933. Soviet Union Surpasses Capitalist Technique in Cotton Harvesting Oo out more than 800 of such machines. In the current year the factory is to produce 4,000 such machines, 2500 by Sept. 1, But the factory “First of May” constructed machines suited only for the first and second cotton. crops. The problem of the third harvest still remained unsolved. In_ the Ukraine, where increasingly large areas are being planted with cotton, the greater part of the crop is yielded by the third harvest. The Cherson “Petrovski” factory made the mechan- izing of the third harvest its task. Harvesting Mechanized ‘The “Petrovski” factory constructed a cotton combine. This machine plucks the closed pods, opens and | empties them. The first experiments with these machines achieved good results; there is no doubt whatever that next year thousands of such combines will be working in the col- lective cotton farms and on the Soviet cotton farms. Fiye hundred of these | machines will be produced this year. The cotton extracted from the pods. however, still contains remnants of the pod or of the leaves. It requires therefore a special cleaning machine, the construction 1d production of which has likewise been taken over by the Petrovski factory, The work is proceeding successfully. In the course of this year 250 of such ma- chines will be produced, This fac- tory is now engaged in constructing | a machine for removing the bare feotton plants after the harvest and preparing the ground for the now cotton seed, It is intended to pro- duce these machines in 1933.
