Of course not. The proof is given in the report of Secretary of Commerce Roper on July 28: “Factory output increased 45 per cent from February, factory empicyment increased 8 per cent, payrolls gained only 15 per cent!” How could the mill owners fire the Workers, when the explicit purpose of the N.

To build ALBANY, Aug. 6—Faced with ra- pid spread of the milk strike that was launched last week on the de- mand that the Milk Control Board pay the farmers 40 per cent of the retail price of milk Governor Lehman on Saturday issued orders for “dras- tic action” by state troopers and sheriff's forces. He also threatens to call out the state militia against the farmers. Many of the rich farmers are try- ing to break the strike. Big trucks loaded with milk, heavily guarded by sheriffs and state troopers, endeavor to break through the lines of pickets. As a result sharp clashes have oc- curred in a dozen counties. The most troopers had to be taken to hospitals. The most seriously injured was Capt. Stephen McGrath, commander of Troop D, Oneida barracks, who suf- fered severe lacerations of the scalp when he attempted to club & farmer McGrath is known as one of the worst thugs of the New York state rioted against rotten food in 1929. For many days after the beginning of the strike Governor Lehman and the Milk Control Board, which was created to keep down the price of milk to the farmers and charge high monopoly prices to the consumer for the benefit of Bordens, Sheffields and the other big units of the dairy trust, issued statements that the strike was a failure. Now the strike has spread until the capitalist press is compelled to admit that the strike {s effective in 25 counties and that more than 20,000 are in action picketing the roads. Saturday’s DAILY WORKER car- ried a report that Deputy Sheriff Newkirk of Fort Hunter, suffered a fracturé of the skull as a result of action of striking farmers. This re- port was wrong and was based upon the first information coming in. The worker's point of view. I believe I could convince many Américan workers | that their salvation lies in the establishment of a Soviet Government by following the course of the Russian® workers under the direction of Lenin- ism. Well, instead of letting me go home the comrades in the factory sent me down here for a month to six weeks. And believe me this is a very beautiful place by the Black Sea. This place where I am staying used to be the mansion of a rich family. Now it is the home of work- ers, where the workers spend their vacations or are sent to recuperate, rest up, take life easy. I have all my expenses paid, including my wages while I am here. Just think of what life the workers of chasing the capitalists and other useless people out of: the fine man- sions and apartment houses of De- troit, as well as other places in the country. The workers would come into much more than the Russian workers inherited. And the Amer- iean workers would enjoy much more Life is very interesting here. Very dynamic. Things improving every month. Labor digcipline improving by the workers themselves adopting measures, to abolish absenteeism for instance, by discharging any worker cr employee who stays away from work without good reason. I am con- vinced that this country will be the most prosperous land in the world in the ‘next five or ten years, Think of everyone working and producing weelth and the wealth actually be- longing to the workers. I know that I am living much bet- ter as a machinist here than I could live in America. I get three or more good meals every day, a two-room apartment with bath, toilet and run- ning water, and no worry about un- employment. How happy millions of American workers would be if they (international Association of Machi- nists) for writing letters to the mem- bers end telling them that the Sov- ict form of government is better for the workers than the American form of government.
