C., Feb. 3,— ‘The Washington Unemployed Coun- cil exposed the Senate Banking and Currency Committee at one of its sessions. It has been making a lot of windy promises about giving the ‘Washington Board of Public Welfare | @ loan of $2,500,000, Charles Spencer, of the Unemploy- ed Council, speaking ovev the heads of the political faker..

The Senators and Social Workers squirmed in their seats when Com- rade Spencer shot his parting words: “We are determined to back up our demand by a militant struggle. The colored and white unemployed of Washington are beginning to see through your fake schemes for mak- ing them starve quietly, the colored workers are sick of your jim-crow pkilanthrophy, the white workers are sick of your wind-blowing. The white end colored workers are organizing together for a relentless struggle for immediate relief.” Police Mobilized A cordon of police and dicks fol- lowed our delegation into the com~- mittee room to impress the audience that we were criminals who had io be “guarded,” The program of the Washington Unemployed Council was presented as follows: 1, An immediate loan of $8,000,000 | from the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, 2. $5 weekly for every family head and $l’a week for each dependent. 3.

FARMERS IN RELIEF STRIKE Militancy Continues In in Many States “WAVERLY, Lee County, Ala. | Feb. 9.—Swooping down on the 200 acre place of a Negro poor farmer near here, who is a member of the | Share Croppers Union, four car- | loads of deputies seized his live- — stock and farm implements while | [; he was absent, because he had re- fused to sign a note which would | have given his farm into the hands ° of the Jandlord of the district, L, H. (“Hawk”) Dawson, The Share Croppers Union ap- pealed to workers and workers’ or- ganizations in other parts of the country to send protests against | this robbery and the attempt to break up the poor farmers’ organ- ization, the Share Croppers’ Union, to the Sheriff of Lee County, Wav- erly, Alabama, and te Governor B. M. Miller, Montgpmery, Alabama, MARKHAM, Minn., Feb. 9,—About one hundred farmers here have de- clared a strike and are picketing the county garage and highways in the township in order to prevent any work from being done until their de- inands are granted. Deputy sheriffs | y. y. have béen sent to break the strike but the farmers have repulsed all attacks And are standing solidly behind their | emands. The strike, which is under the lead- éyship of the United Farmers’ League, js. the culmination of a struggle be- tween the farmers and Victor Koski, commissioner of the Sixth District, the district of St, Louis County in which Markham is located. The farmers are demanding the recogni- tion of their own township commit- tee of action which would have charge cherge of distributing equit- ably among the poor farmers the lit- tle eounty relief work available. In the past years the work has been given only to a few friends and sup- porters of the commissioners while the majority of the farmers have re+ ceived little or nothing. Koski, the newly elected commissioner, in his campaign promised the farmers that he would recognize their committees and it was upon this plank in his platform that he rode jnto office. ‘The strikers are determined to fight until they win their demands, They have already elected two delegates to represent them at the Workers’ and Farmers’ Relief March to the State Capitol, Feb. ®. Wis. Milk Strike Looms. MILWAUKEE, Feb. 9.—A milk strike in which 10,000 dairy farmers are expected to join now looms as the latest move to force milk com- panies to pay higher prices. Initiated by the Wisconsin Coop- erative Milk Pool Association, the Jeaders of the movement declare that their members will withhold milk, cream and other dairy produce from the market. Tentative demands in- clude a price of $1.40 a hundred- weight for fluid milk for all producers in the State, The United Farmers League ts ex- pected to give the strike its whole- hearted support, at the same time calling for a fight for lower retail prices at the expense of the big milk istributors. _ | IWO Keeps Wednesday’s Donations from Big Flop Contributions Less Than Tuesday; Short Spurt, Drops Badly After S$ Chicago, | Wednesday's total contributions to the “Daily” drive, $313.42, this figure only because the Interna- tional Workers’ Order branches sent in $140.35. Canada sent in $3, leay- ing a total of only $160.07 for all the districts combined. New York | dropped from $269.07 on Tuesday to} $73.60, Philadelphia, with $46.01 | raised, made the second best show- | ing of the day, Milwaukee, Seattle, the Dakotas and Alabama-Florida failed to send | in a cent for the second successive day. Buffalo, rado also failed to respond, Chicago, after tts solitary spurt of | more than a week ago, seems to haye | gone back to the old rut. Wednes- day's contribution of $3.20 is miser- | ably small for the district which has | the second largest quota in the coun- try! Chicago still remains one of} the lowest in percentage ranking, | with only 4.1 per cent of its quota achieved at the last tabulation, al-/ most a month after the beginning of the drive. Cleveland (which con-| tributed $6.50), rating of 5.5, is scarcely better. These big mid-west districts must |” swing into activity and show definite results within the week, or the ef-| fect of their inactivity will cripple | the entire drive. Every district's quota can be raised if tie work is organized properly. Or; vations should be canvassed, not oni; those close to the revolutionary movement, | but others such as American Fed-| eration of Labor Unions, Negro Sroups (the Daily Worker's role in the struggles of the Negro masses will make a special appeal to these), etc. And certainly there is no dis- trict in the country where parties and entertainments cannot he ar- ranged.

For this the aid of the Central Committee is neces- sary. Units Don't Know Readers “Readers of the Party press can be found in most unit territories. ‘The trouble is that the units don’t know about them unless they find them in course of their activity. If all the units knew all the readers of our papers, they would be able to do better work in their territories. “Therefore I suggest the following: “1, AM names and addresses of subscribers of all papers to be turned over to the Central Com- mittee to be sent to respective dis- riets. “2, District to be responsible that units make good use of such new contacts. “3. With the help of readers, members can get better acquainted with entire territory. “4. Units to see that all sub- soribers remain in good standing. “5. That units organize readers of language papers to be active for their language paper. Check up On Newsstands “Cheek up on newsdealers. Find out how many papers are bought every day and what language papers. Find out how many readers of Party papers in each district. Every un- organized reader is a potential mem- ber of one of our organizations. Every reader also has friends who might be influenced, “With this we will learn to know every sympathizer in the districts where units function. There should be no trouble for the units to work from this to becoming organizers for language clubs, unions, house com- mittees and councils; on the basis of which a mass Party can be built.” —E. Scharfenberg. 1.W.0. Appeals to Branches to Speed ‘Daily’ Donations NEW YORK—“The International Workers Order calls the attention of its branches to the slowness of their response to the Daily Worker's appeal for $35,000, which {s absolutely neces- sdry to keep the paper alive,” reads a statement issued last night by R. Saltzman, national secretary of the I. w. o. “The National Committee of the Order,” the statement continues, “wants to impress upon the branches the serious financial plight of the ‘Daily’ All possible efforts must be made at once to produce financial results for the drive. The meetings of the branches tonight must take up methods of raising contributions, or- ganization of affairs for the benefit of the drice, and the mobilization of every member for a canvass of friends | and sympathizers. “Only our united immediate effort can gave the situation.

Continue Fight On Dictatorship. ‘The fight against the fascist dic- tatorship continues, despite the ban on meetings and demonstrations, the gagging of the press and the terror of the police and the armed Hitler bands. The workers in a large num- ber of factories in Harburg have de= cided to strike on the day of the funeral of the murdered Communist worker, Leuschel. Both Communist nd Socialist workers are calling for the organization of a general strike. Yielding to the pressure of ¢heir |rank and file, the Socialist leaders of ee unemployed held a joint session |with the Communist leaders and | agreed to issue an appeal, calling on the unemployed to march solidly in the funeral procession. A membership meeting of the Reichsbanner, controlled by the So- cialists, also demanded the organiza- tion of a march behind the coffin of the murdered worker. When their leaders attempted to evade a clear statement on the question, a storm of indignation broke out and the Reichsbanner men declared they would march behind the coffin with or without their leaders. This is an illustration of how, despite the sab- otage of the Socialist leaders, the red united front of all toilers is be- ing forged in the bitter struggle against the fascist dictatorship.
