Bordens and the other con- cerns are controlled by Wall Street finance capital. Help Rich Rob the Poor The dairy farmers’ strike is being the Milk Control Board to guarantee the farmers 40 per cent of the retail | price of milk, which would average about 4 1-2 cents a quart. At present the farmers get from 2 1-2 to 4 cents a quart. Governor Lehman appointed the Milk Control Board to help the milk trust rob the poor so the rich could get richer, Those who make the money from underpaying to the dairy farmer and the robbery of the city consumers are the holders of bonds in the concerns connected with the milk trust. { The strike will involve some 45,000 But Production It At Almost the Same Level (By a Worker Correspondent) NEW YORK CITY.—Until July 5 there were about 3,000 workers em- ployed at Ford's Edgewater Plant, the daily production of ears being 270, By July 14 at least 1,000 workers were laid off, and despite this cut of approximately ont-third of the work- ers, the production of cars fell only to 230 daily, The difference was made up ni a speed-up, as it was applied by the “pushers.” 19,355 KILLED BY WHITE TERROR THRUOUT WORLD IN FIRST 3 MONTHS OF 1933 Figures Do Not Include March Toll in Germany —Other Atrocities Reported in Red Aid Survey NEW YORK.—Statistics of white terror throughout the world, compiled. by the International Red Aid, for the first three months of 1933, received by the International Labor Defense here, show a total of 19,355 workers murdered by the reaction, 13,722 seriously wounded, 8,770 slightly injured and 42,314 arrested. t The figures do not include those from geois papers reported 16,000 arrests® there for that month.

He had gone over to see this family, had found them to be poultry farmers who are so poor that they have to go out in the field to scratch up mushrooms. This time they were poisoned and had to be rushed, writhing in agony, to the hospital. The milk farmers are little better off than the poultry farmers. Bo- briak, a Czechoslovakian farmer, blamed the Interstate Milk Pro- ducers Association, the Government, and the milk dealers for this situa- tion, Alleback, the fat-salaried presi- dent of this association, seven years ago tried to cut down the milk price from 2.78 to 1.51 a hundred. The farmers fought him, but last fall Pinchot appointed Clyde King to help Alleback do the dirty work, And now Wallace has come in, as the third tooth in this pitchfork, to fix the farmer to his barn walls.

Now the land- lord’s, the constable and the law- yers against mie and they're going to throw me and my whole family out in the road, Where are we going to go?

The plaintiff in the Hanzel case was an old skinfiint whom Hanzel took into his home one day when he knocked at the door, hungry and cold. This old snake worked himself into Hanzel's heart, offered him smoney when he was down and out and his wife died, and then clapped an attachment on Han- zel’s chattels. In the Lellko case, the rejected suitor of one of the Lellko girls married the daughter of the mortgagee, and out of devilishness forced a sheriff sale. And the law backed up the two scoundrels to the hilt, in the Lellko case sending out 15 deputies with tear gas, machine guns. .Each of these Genuties was paid $5. The Hanzel sale, where the farmers bid $1.18 all told for a horse and farm machinery, has been de- elared illegal by County Judge Keller, wieo, it has been found out, is related to a big milk dealer. This decision the farmers will fight by organiza- tion, A Rich Man's Law Waldbeum, Philedelnhia lawyer, who has been helping the farmers here, showed how the law is a rich man's law. In the Hanzel case, the farmers need 8500 for avnsaling the decision, How can the farmers raise it, when many of them have no bread in their kitchens? “Slippery as many lawyers are, I have not found one slippery or clever enough to show anybody how the law as it now stands can be used to heln the farm- ers. I am a lawyer for the I. L, D. end in the city the workers fight evictions and fight for relief; here T em a lawyer for the farmers and you fight sheriff sales and for better commodity prices. The problem is the same. All I can say is, don’t put too much faith in the law. Organize and force your legislatures to pass laws to help laborers in the cities and farmers in the country.” A farmwoman who must work in one of the crossroad sweatshons then spoke up. “The boss said he would give us a 25 per cent increase in wages. Yes, but we've got to pay for a beginner's wages. When we started organizing, the boss: saw to it that we couldn't hold any meetiiy tm - “New Deal” where in Willow Grove, where I work. We had to hold meetings out- side. When any of us went into the ladies’ room, he'd get mad. Hey, you're organizing in there!’ Yester- day he showed us Roosevelt’s speech and said that Roosevelt was against strikes, and we should all cooperate.” Another worker frem Philadelphia with a small farm in the neighbor- hood gave the following figures: From January 1, 1933, to July 31, 1933, he made off hig farm $183.30, Deducting expenses for car, that left him $6.01 a week for a family of six to live on. That meant 28 1-3 cents a meal for his family. That beats the redoubtable Mrs. Pinchot, who served on golden platters that other grand lady, Mrs. Roosevelt, @ meal which costs 5 cents per person, That's the fatmer’s story in @ nutshell.
