The article was. good, especially showing that ahe A. F. of L. leadership supports the. NIRA drive even though the “Blue Eagle” is printed by non-union labor. I think that it was a grave polit- ical error on the part of the editor to call a non-union shop a scab shop. Scab is a “bad” word and by calling any worker a scab you insult him. Then how can we go and or- ganize the unorganized workers? By calling them scabs? No. We must go to these workers and explain that they should organize into a union and that they have a right. to do this under the NIRA. ~ ‘The word scab must not. be usd that way in the future, in my opin- ion, but |must only be applied to those who work while there is o strike going on. Comradely yours, J. 0. (Editor's Note.—The comrade is Tight in his criticism about the use of the phrase “scab shop” where it gives the silghtest implication that it is the workers who are called names just because they are unor- ganized. He has correctly, outlined the way to use the name “scab.” LETTERS from OUR READERS them that “they have a Tight to do this under the NIRA,” but by point- ing out that organization will give them strength to win their de- mands. Oe NEW YORK CITY. Comrade Editor: Mrs. Mory Sergassi, of 219 East 28th Street, New York City; read in newspapers of the charitable work that the Salvation Army was doing and so, being in need of charity, she went to the Salvation Army to help her. After giving her life history and telling them why she was born, she was told to get out. She told them she was starving and asked for bread, and that she was willing to work for it, but they only called her a beggar and informed her she had a bad record for asking for work. It is about time a real expose of the Salvation Army was started, and I think the Daily Worker can do it. ‘That is the reason for this letter. (Editor's Note—We ask all work- ers who have had any experience with the Salvation Army to write |us about it.

Comrade Editor: Why have no stories been printed on the strikes of the Noma Electric Corp., of 524 Broadway; the Plym- outh Card Co., of 526 Broadway, and the J. & S, Milberg Co. of 512 Broadway? Hundreds of workers from these three firms have been out on strike with mass picketing and the greatest militancy. Bui where were the stories in the Daily on these strug- gles? There were none. Where were the Daily newsboys spreading the paper of the working class amongst these fighting proletarians? In Union Square, no doubt, ‘These workers may be seen stand- ing and walking about the front and réar of these buildings each morning, hundreds of them, And what do they read, these proletarians? They read the Daily Mirror, the Daily News and the song sheets! s it their fault? No. a The Daily must print the entire story of each of these struggles.

The workers will buy our paper if only to see their names in it. (If you can get a picture, better yet.) The following day have a short follow-up story and so on until the end of the strikes, Talk plainly to the workers, telling them of their chances of winning, what to do to win, cite examples of victories elsewhere, etc. Also, after the second or third day, when the workers have learned to follow their struggles |in the Daily, have the newsboys séll copies of the Manifesto and other working class classics, which will assist the workers| to understand what it is. all about. Another suggestion I have is for the Daily to give a party for these workers. Serving only coffee and cookies, it should not| be expensive, and then the workers can hear their true friends speak; they can be ied to become strong supporters of the six-page Daily. If you do this, be careful how you do it. These workers are not very class-conscious and so do not press them for subscriptions too quickly. PAM. (Editor’s Note—We did publish in- formation on the Plymouth Card strike, but the worker who promised to come to report regularly did not show up after the first story. On the Nome [iectric Corp. we can only say that it is impossible for the Daily to cover directly every strike that is occurring in New York at present, and we must rely| on workers involved in the strike, or those knowing about it, to keep us constantly informed of the situation as it develops. « The suggestions on getting the Daily Worker before these workers Sailors Fed Putrid Meat on S.S. Haiti NEW YORK.—A story of putrid meat served to the men aboard the S.S. Haiti was related by the crew of the ship, which just docked in New York. The steamer left New York on Thursday, July 27. “About seven or eight days out of New York we began to notice that the food was getting .rotten,” one Seaman said. “We could notice the taste was getting worse all the time. It was not until eight or nine days ago that we made any complaint. In Norfolk fresh meat and ice were brought aboard, but the crew was given none of this meat. It was saved for the officers’ and the crew was given the same rotten meat. Be ee ae ee ees e.”” When the ship docked, a delegate of the Marine Workers Industrial Union was notified. With a com- mittee from the ship, he took a can of the putrid meat to the Barge of- fice, to complain to the Public Health Service. They were referred to Hud- son and Jay St. From this point they were referred back to the barge office, to the Shipping Commissioner, who passed the buck to the Deputy Commissioner, This worthy official “sniffed” the meat and ordered it removed. The next visit was to the City Health Department, which disclaimed res- Ponsibility, but recommended the Public’ Health Service. In no in- stance were the workers able to register a complaint. Government agencies are not interested in such matters. An attempt by the M.W.1.U. dele- gate to organize the workers in an effective protest was unsuccessful.

Gray, brother of Ralph Graf Negro farmer who was shot dowh and killed on July 17, 1931, while on guard at a meeting of the union! Thomas Gray is himself an active leader in the struggles of the poor farmers and share-croppers. The} plot also involved the murder of all leaders of the union. Charles Harris, Negro stool pigeon” who was sent into the Share Crop+" pers Union as a spy for the land= lords, went to the creek on August 5 where Gray and another man were fishing. Harris tried to start a fight with Gray by claiming that Gray had been around Harris’ house both- ering his wife. Harris then walked a few steps away from Gray and fired. Gray was saved by jumping,| behind a tree. 7 The Share Croppers Union im- mediately set up a committee to in- vestigate the matter. It was found. that for several weeks prior to the attempt on Gray’s life, Harris had been going to town to have long private conversations with members| of the Ku Klux Klan in Camp Hill, It was found that Harris is in the pay of Mat Wilson, former police- man of Camp Hill, of Lynn Min- ners, rich landlord and Klansman,/ and of Policeman Gabbett of Camp* Hill. According to the arrangements made with these persons, Harris \was to receive $50 as soon as he had killed Gray, and then go to Camp Hill Next, he was to kill the organizer of: the Union and then two other im portant union leaders.

In the past few months, the farm youth organization, called the Young Pioneers of the United Farmers Protective Association, has heen established and now has over 200 members in three locals. The activities of the youth organization have been mainly social, though it was represented at the Allentown National Youth Day with a delega- jon of 75. The youth group in this area is of utmost importance be- cause it represents the connecting link between factory and farm. Over 50 per cent of the youth have been or are now working in shops.

There is no doubt that the New Deal illusions exist The new deal illusions even weak- ened a section of the leadership of the United Farmers Protective As- sociation. This is to be expected in view of the fact that we are dealing with small and middle farmers, property owners, whose class nature is to vaccilate, to grasp any straw ‘erty. The militant conscious | tion of the leadership of the United Farmers Protective Association still young politically, did not know how to sufficiently expose the New Deal illusions. There came a definite slow-up period. Grain That Is Bought To Feed Then came the rise in prices of cattle. .Sharp and steady rose the price of grain. Milk prices were at @ standstill. The famous s¢issors opened wider than ever. Farmers began to wake up. Along with this came a wave of industrial strikes. For the first time in history we have strikes in ‘the mills of the towns. From the towns to the cross-road sweatshops. Every cross-road can now boast of ‘a strike. Militant strikes, too. Strikers who never heard of class struggle—who are befuddled and still full of illusions. Many of the strikes are being won. Increase in wages, shorter hours, etc. . ‘This has had a great influence on the hard pressed farmers. Sons and daughters came home with ac- counts of the class struggle on picket lines. Strike talk in every farm home in the industrial-farm area_ (Bucks. Montgomery, Berks and Lehigh Counties). For a Milk Strike Votes are being taken at farmers’ meetings throughout the territory- From the North we hear the strike struggle of the New York dairy farmers. To the West, the openin, skirmish is taking place, a smal strike of 500—Harrisburg is being blockaded; four shot. From the South, Maryland, we hear urgent calls for help to or« ganze for strike.
