F.C. The hand-picked Tammany suc- cessor of Roosevelt, Governor Leh- man, has appointed what is de- ceptively known as an “emergency public works commission.” after long deliberation in the offices of Robert H. Moses, chairman of the commission, a decision was reached to make application for loans to the amount of almost a hundred mil- lion dollars. Former Governor Al Smith, acting for the commission, presented the request at Washing- ton. NOT FOR THE UNEMPLOYED. Governor Lehman, Sen. Moses, Smith and Herbert Bayard Swope (@ prominent member of the com- mission) try to dupe the unem- ployed into believing that this loan is for them. As a matter of fact the biggest portion of the loan is to be applied on the project of the Hudson River vehicular tunnel at Thirty-eighth street in New York City, which calls for an outlay of $75.000,000. Some four millions is to be spent for bridge consiruction at Niagara Falls. Three millions are to be used for 2 bridge con- necting Hudson, N. Y., with Cats- kill, N. Y. Another four millions will go into building a parkwa; near Bear Mountain, while another five millions go into causeway con- struction at Freeport, Long Island. Ea 'HUS the bulk of this money is to be turned over to the building and road contractors who for years have been an integral part of the Tam- many machine of graft and plun- der. The millions obtained will | help maintain these beneficiaries of Tammany, and will nicely supple- ment the loot obtained from the city and the state treasuries. In other states the same procedure will be followed, just as similar use was made of the Reconstruction Fi- nance Corvoration loan to the state of Pennsylvania last sum- mer bv the machine of the liberal | republican governor, Gifford Pin- chot, at a time When men, women and children in the cities and towns and on the land were starv- ing to death. That the Roosevelt administra- tion is planning to use such funds for similar activily throughout the country is seen from the utterances of Al Smith last Tuesday before a Catholic women’s _ association. where he put forth the proposal that there should be appointed a | “public works’ czar” for the entire United States. To be sure, there is also involved in this not merely further fascisation of the govern- ment, but also a further drive to- ward building up new establish- ments for the manufacture of war materials and strengthening such projects as the giant hydro-electric and nitrate plant at Muscle Shoals. DEMAND JMMEDIATE CASH RELIEF. All the pretended concern of these politicians for the plight of the unemployed is only camouflage to conceal the real purpose behind it. The few jobless that will re- ceive work will be negligible indeed compared to the two million totally unemployed workers in New York state. A few hundred on the big- gest projects is the limit for such work. A number of foremen, super- intendents and others who have been faithful lackeys of the poli- tical machine will get wages. The semi-skilled and common laborers will get starvation rations. But the big cement plants that have tons of material on hand for construction purposes will be able to sell some of their surplus at top prices so they can get profits and dividends off their investments— while not one additional worker will be employed by them. It will certainly help these parasites in this “emergency” that threatens their investments. Rigen 8 ‘VERY unemployed worker should know exactly what sort of scheme is being put over by Lehman’s com- mission and should indignanily fight to demand that every penny of funds thus secured be used at once for immediate emergency cash relief for the starving masses with- out any restrictions whatsoever. In every part of the state of New York and in every other state the toiling masses should organize and fight against such frauds and such pil- lage of public funds. Billions are available for strengthening the poli- tical fences of the old parties and guaranteeing profits as well as outright gifts to the capitalist ex- ploiters. This enormous amount can and must be made available to the unemployed alone. . . . through LREADY organized struggles of workers and farmers | many partial victories have been won.

As District Organizer of the Young Communist League and HARRY SUIMMS member of its National Committee, in Alabama, Harry Simms was re- cognized as one of the foremost fighters against the Southern rul- ing class. This young Communist was the first to fight against the atrocious frame-up of the nine On Anniversary of H. Simms, Revolutionary Hero Scottsboro boys, one of the first to warn the Negro youth against the betrayal tactics of the Negro re- formists. During the Kentucky strike, thousands of miners aged in the coal pits of Mellon, Rockefeller and Ford, looked up to and fol- lowed young Harry Simms against starvation. Raging with hate, the Southern ruling class at last vent its wrath through a bullet fired by thugs employed by the coal oper- ators. 'HE boss class has succeeded in snuffing out the life of Harry Simms, a fighter, but it has not been able to stop the fight. Young workers of the South are carry- ing out Simms’ message of strug- gle. Recently, the battle of 5,000 hosiery workers in High Point, N. C., which embraced mostly young workers, was & Valiant tribute to the fighting powers of the South- ern working class youth. More recently, the struggle of the Tal- lapocsa Negro share-croppers brought expressions of greater un- ity of Negro and white, for which Harry Simms gave his life. Throughout the country, matur- ing mass struggles of young and adult workers prove Harry Simms has not died in vain. In the pre- sent Detroit strike, young workers are setting a pace in militancy. In ‘Trenton, 860 young doll workers de‘uonstrated for the whole work- ing class the possibility of winning basic demands at time of deepest crisis.

In fact, in the period that the paper has been published, its circulation has been increased 2,000. The Italian workers among whom the unemploy- ment situation is more devastating than any other group of foreign- born workers—in their struggle against hunger, have accepted this paper with enthusiasm and have made of L’Unita Operaia their or- gan of struggle. From some of the big industrial centers come re- quests from workers that the paper be published daily. os EN LUNITA OPERAIA came out, the Central Committee of the Communist Party, considering the winning of the Italian workers for the revolution one of the im- portant tasks for the Party, pub- lished a slatement of greetings in which it emphasized the importance of the paper and called upon all the party workers in the field to help spread it among the Italian workers. This is what the Central Committee of the Party said. “We cali upon ail our Party work- ers to see to it that every Italian Party member becomes a sub- scriber, a suoporter and also a cor- respondent for the L’Unita Overala. ‘The literature agents of our sec- tions and units throughout the country must call at once at the office of the paper: 813 Broadway, New York City or write to L'Unita Operia, P.

Other Party work- ers simply took the call of the Cen- tral Committee as a formality, a sort of fraternal greeting the Daily Worker was transmitting to the new: Italian paper, and did nothing to spread the paper among the Italian workers in their field. In some cases these comrades had sent communications requesting Italian organizers for their locality. If they couldn’t get an organizer, they tmdicated, they could do no- thing. We request these comrades to use the paper as an organizer, In many centers L'Unita Operaia has already become the organizer of the Italian workers. E therefore once again urge our comrades in the field to take the spreading of the Italian paver in their localities seriously.

JOHN REED CLUB ART SCHOOL IN NEW YORK BEGINS SPRING TERM N announcement of courses has just been issued by the John Reed Club School of Art, now be- ginning its third year. Giving « brief history of the Art School, the announcement says: “The John Reed Club School of Art was formed in 1931 in response to a spontaneous demand for o school which would combine the technica] training which any good art school offers with a definite orientation toward the working class point of view. “With the cultural and economic decay of present day soc‘ety more and more artists and art students have come to realize that a differ- ent viewpoint is necessary in art if it is to be creative. This can only be the viewpoint of the work- ineelass. As the realization of this need increases, so, also, increnses the importance of svch a schcol. “The John Reed Club School of Art hes now been orranized on a permanent, continuous basis, pro- viding four well-planned te>ms each year. The courses include technical subjects, with Ii’e clas- ses, instruction and lectures, and also study and discussion of ques- tions of content and the social meaning of art.” oma” Sie Te school year runs continuously, and is divided into four terms, as follows: Spring term: February 6-May 6; Summer Term, May 8-Aug. 5; Fall Term, Aug. 7-Nov. 4; Winter Term, Noy. 6-Feb. 3, No previous training is required and no examination is given for ad- mission to the school, it is an- nounced, and students may register by the month at any time during ) | | SUBSCRIPTION BATHE: ‘By mail everywhere: One yeat, $6; six months, $3.50; 3 monthe, $2; 1 month, excepting Borough of Merhattan and Bronx.

Foreign and Canada: One year, $9; 6 months, 35; 3 months, $3 HASKINS, 0O., Feb. — More than 3,000 farmers, supported by hundreds. of workers from the neighboring cities, gathered at the forced sale of the implements and personal property of Walter Croz- ier, a ruined farmer of this town, and boneht upwards of $5,000 worth of chattels for $1.90, and turned them over to Crozier on a 99-year lease. This is the third time the militant farmers have gathered at penny auction sales in Wood County in the last 10 days and thwarted the finance com- panies who have been charging in- terest as high as 3% a month or a year The action of the farmers in for- cing the loan sharks to carry out, all scheduled sales, has forced the two largest mortgage-holding banks in this section to declare.a year’s moraterium on farm foreclosures. The Inter-County Finance Com- pany and members of the Farm Debt Protective Association put pressure on Crozier to call off the sale; but assured of the support of thousands of farmers and the workers of the city, Crozier insist- ed on proceeding with the sale as scheduled. “ONLY WAY OUT” P. J. Prentiss, of Napoleon, O., told how the bankers, loan sharks and petty politicians all profit by shifting the burden of the crisi: on the shoulders of the farmers and workers. He said, “the only way out was for the workers and farmers to organize together to improve their conditions. If con- ditions don’t improve, there'll be a revolution and you and I don't have to be afraid of that, and the sooner it comes the better.” The farmers cheered. The farmers had issued a call to the workers of the city to come and support them in their strug- gles. Over 60 workers from the city of Toledo came to the meet- ing 22 miles from home in the snow and sleet, and bought several ar- ticles for pennies and turned them over to the owner. Eugene Stoll, former Communist candidate for U. S. Congress from Ohio spoke from the platform, endorsing the mass movement of the farmers and pledging the support of the work- ers of Toledo in their struggles. He invited the farmers to support the workers of Toledo by demon- strating on the streets with them on March 4, demanding unemploy- ment insurance, lower taxes, and better relief. PHONEYS GET RAZZED W. L, Chase, C. FE. Wharton, and Rev. John Chaney, attempted to counsel the farmers to put their trust in “a policy of hopeful wait- ing.” They spoke of the recent moratoriums, not mentioning that it was the militant actions of the How 3,000 Farmers in Ohio Thwarted Foreclosure Sale By K. ©. | farmers who forced the finance companies to grant this concession, Wharton, an old Socialist Party member, and head of the Federa- ted Farm Clubs of Ohio, spoke of @ new “Farmer-Labor Party” and told the farmers to put their trust in such action as “Home Rule,” in- flation, etc. Reverend Chaney told them of the governor's recently ap- pointed committee which is sup- posed to act as advisor and ad~ justor between creditors and debt- ors. Also he told them to “trust in God and not to riot.” The farmers did not applaud any of this advices and received it with audible sar- casm. One of the militant leaders, Ralph Weaver, of Fostoria, himself a ruined farmer, pledged the farmets not to ‘bid over several pennies o} each article, to turn the purchases” / over to the owner. He turned the meeting over to the auctioneer while the farmers hurrahed their approval. The tactics of the Uni- ted Farmers’ League as outlined is the conference in Washington werd carried out and have proven cor. rect. The capitalist press has - played its customary role in playing down the role of the militant farmers and quoting all the reformist lea@~ ers at length. At the sale a cub reporter held a match under Daily Worker's in the arm of a farmer, setting them on fire, but the sab- otage was noted before much harm Was done and more Daily Worker’s were sold than both of the cap- italist papers, the Blade and News Bee put together. The capitalist press did not mention the milit- ancy of the farmers nor the future Sales in Putnam, Hardin, and San- dus counties, but ran big scare ines of “Farmers Rout Agit- ators,” “Farmers Burn Commun- ist Literature,” which were planned and deliberate lies, “DAILY” IS SOLD Sales of the Daily Worker wall well organized at the “penny auc- tion” sale; several dollars worth \ were sold and other Daily Worker's ¥ were given away to those farmers who had no money to pay for them. Canvassing of the farms in this region will be made with this issue of the Daily Worker, exposing the role of the capitalist press and teli- ing the farmers to elect their own. leaders, to form a close union with tae city workers, and not trust the rich reformists who are trying hard to get control of this mass move- ment of the farmers.

Yet the ““Daily’’ has played an active role in every struggle involy- ing the interests of students and educational workers. Last fall, dur- ing the strugjle of. the Liberal Club of the Col- SHR * lege of the City Oakley Johnson of New York for my reinstatement and for their own right to meet on the campus, the Daily Worker almost alone led the fight in the columns of its papers. It was first to present a front page report of the pol tacks on the students. It was prac- tically alone amoung Nev York pa- pers to give information on the dismissal of Leo Gallagher, who heroically defended the “Mooney Run” youths on the occasion of the magnificent demonstration at the Olympics in Los Angeles for which he was fired from the staff of the Southern University Law School. Boia AN examination of the pages of the Daily Worker the last few days shows the great interest the workers’ fighting paper tekes in the conflicts on the cultural field. On Tuesday, Jan. 17, a five-inch article announces the threat of ex- pulsion made against 22 students of City College by the Board of Education, because of the partici- pation of these students in the “trial” of President F, B. Robin- son some weeks ago. On Thursday, Jan, 19, a six-inch story relates the one month sentence of expulsion pronounced against 19 of these stu- dents. On Wednesday, Jan. 18, an eight-inch article describes the tricky 50 per cent cut in wages given to substitute teachers in New York city schools, In the same is- sue a Columbia University worker correspondent ‘writes a 12-inch double column article on the wage cut, amounting to from 8 to 50 se) Pee oent, given by that wealthy university to its small-salaried rank and file workers.
