I think that you all are doing good work, and I think that the Party is a God-sent-Party, and I trust that God will bless you. I’m out of work and I am sure that we will overcome some day this government that we are living under, which is no good but for to steal and rob the people and lynch and kill. I hope that God will span my life to live to see the time come when every man will get his fortune in this country. So that is my feeling on the Party, so the ILD can bet on my being with the Party as long as I live, and fight for the right of the poor class of working people, white and black. Right now I can’t do what I want to for the Party because time is very hard with me. I have not got any work to do, so you all know how it is with me right now. My place is under a mortgage right now, and I just don’t see what I am going to do. I don’t get any work to do, but about just enough to keep from starving. But I will do everything that I can to build it up in Columbia and I am with the Party in its every fight for better times. So when the agent comes to Columbia he can bet on me. —B. W.

Comrade Editor: Let me express my utmost thanks and gratitude that there is a work- ers school. I was in a blizzard trying to obtain knowledge of Marxism-Leninism and Communist principles “on my own,” and through various clubs and self- styled teachers. Since attending the Workers School in the short space of a month I have made more progress than in the past two years, and I have come to the conclusion that education under the Workers School banner far surpasses any other for its thorough training and discipline, and one must feel it, if he is sincere, For one eager to be of service to the movement, to be of practical value in organizational work too, by all means join the only Workers School and avoid errors and delay. I have since induced others to, join, and I wish this letter may be instru- for as I have been enlightened, who are in the same boat I was in, mental in enrolling other workers “Without revolutionary theory, there can be no revolutionary practice.” A.

Our hours were trom 1043 to 12, and even more, daily, seven days a week, When we com- plained about never having a day off the bosses said: “If you don’t like it, get the hell out.” And many of the workers did get cut. They got fired on flimsy cuses. Many times they did noi hire anybody in their places. Their work was simply shifted on to the backs of the ones remaining on che job.! Last week the nightman, Robert, asked Mr. Onesto when we were go- ing to get shorter hours and higher wages. For asking such questions this worker got fired. Aroused over such ruthless firing, four of us work- ers walked up to Onesto and a! him to take Robert back. With a smile he assuzed us that} he will go back. But this bosses’ smile was just like a pat on the back with one hand and a stab in the back with the other hand, Two of us workers that partici- pated on the Grievance Committee got discharged. On account of this two ovner workers walked out in sympathy. Such brutality wili not stop us from. fighting for our rights. FIRED FOODWORKERS. Nira Arrives With Wage-Cuts, Lay-Offs (By a Food Worker Correspondent) CINCINNATI, O.— The Putnam Candy Co. which operates a large candy factory and several stores, has hung out the “Blue Eagle” and cut the wages of the employees from the 30c per hour N.R.A. scale back to 27c per hour. Waitresses work 3 or 4 hours a day and must pay 25c for their dinner which was free before Nira came to Putnam’s These work- ers received two 10 per cent cuts be- fore Nira came, and the speed-up was intreduced to make up for loss of work of those laid off. When Nira came, they leid off: additional work- ers to “meet the code.” Bert Meis, who is General Manager of Putnam's, is a heavy contributor to the sustaining fund of the Ohio National Guard, which sent guards- men into Eastern Ohio to shoot down the striking coal miners. Hundreds of Hotel and Restaurant workers have lost their jobs since Nira came to town in spite of the bellyhoo of the yellow rags of Cin- cinnati, the Post, Times-Star and En- quirer, who are stating that 6,000 workers have again found jobs. The cost of living has gone up 50 per cent in the last two months. Relief has been cut and the relief list with it.

NEW YORK.—The day the letter fvom a worker in the Ever Ready Label Company appeared in the Daily Worker, I went down there and marked off their article in red cray- on, telling these printers to read of their shop. I sold 25 Daily Workers to the workers in that shop. The next morning when I went down to the same shop with 25 Daily Workers, after I had sold about two, and the workers who had bought them got upstairs, the boss came down and told me: that paper around here, and if you don’t go away I'll get you arrested.” I toldhim: “If this had been the New York Times you wouldn’t mind, but because this is the workers’ press you object.” his shows the reaction the bosses have to the Daily Worker, A few workers were standing on the inside of the doorway when the boss told me this. After the boss went upstairs these workers came and bought seven Daily Workers. I told these same workers that if they had anything to write up about their shop, they should send it in and the Daily Worker would publish it’ if it had not done so before. . I also} told them that if it had been the: New York Times I was selling the boss would have had nothing to say. They said, “We know that.” I put subscription blanks for the “Daily” inside my copies on the sec- ond day I went there, and since ten workers bought the “Daily” that day, I suppose there will be some new subscriptions. The workers told me the boss went around the shop try- ing to find out who put the article into the “Daily,” but I told them) that he would never be able to find out. I told the workers that the “Daily” printed letters from workers all over the country. If other Red Builders would watch for articles appearing from workers in shops, and mark these articles as the shops with the Daily Worker, they could build up sales in shops all over the country.

'* For more than three months, the circulation drive of the Daily Worker has been in progress. Only on Aug. 24 did the District Buro take up the ‘drive! During my tour, I did not discover that anywhere plans had een made to put the Daily Worker on’ its feet in the District, to get the Daily Worker into the hands of the workers. Only in Toledo did I find that a Negro comrade has started a carrier route in the Negro section, beginning with 7 copies, which jumped to 20, then 30 and at the latest report (Aug. 11) jumped ‘to 50. If a single comrade can do this, why cannot the rest of the Party do likewise? But this is not all. Hardly at one mass meeting at which I spoke was a Daily Worker anywhere to be seen. It is pretty hard to appeal to the workers to read and subscribe for the Daily Worker and not have a single copy even to show them, This is the situation in Ohio, j | [ALLY, many comrades of the Party and Y.

Many comrades are not in a financial situation to be able to sub- scribe for the Daily Worker. The sec- tions afd units must take up this fundamental question, otherwise a great part of the education of the Party members will continue to be neglected.
