My two bosses died and I was let out only because some | of the white tenants thought the posi! ition was too good for a Negro. Since then I have been in employment offices. There were over 150 superintend- | ents’ positions. I had money to pay,© but was turned down on account of my color. I have good references. I have over $1,000 worth of tools to manage an apartment house. Finally, I said, ’'l go after Tam- many Hall, for which I voted all these years.

How- | ever, we wish to convince you that our district wijl do its best in regard to enlarging the distribution of the | “Daily.” | Here is one example how the Party | units for instance will respond.

Strike (By a Worker Correspondent) | NEW YORK.—For the past few years I have worked in many of the | large shoe repairing shops in various parts of New York City. | We, the shoe repairers, are driven like slaves, and compelled to work from 11 to 16 hours per day under sweat-shop conditions, for the measly wages of $10 up to $20 per week. There are a handful of shops who pay PS Te i a little more. Several months ago, a few of us | got together and decided that our only hope to be relieved from ex- ploitation by these greedy bosses is to organize all workers in our trade.

We are determined to fight for a complete victory and obtain better living conditions and Adds Help by Cutting Pay LOS ANGELES—The Broadway one of the largest department stores, with several thousand employees in all departments, has added 400 work- ers to its departments. But the addi- tion of 400 workers was accomplished by a vicious 162-3 per cent wage cut, workers being reduced from $18 to $15 a week. At the same time, the Broadway frorkers have been hit by the infla- tion prices so that they now under- stand that there has been a reduc- tion in real wages around 25 per cent or more. This exposure of the purpose of the NRA to put over the “job- stagger” system at the expense of the workers has sharply increased the militancy of the Broadway workers who are complaining about the “new deal.” The capitalist press of this city re- ports 500 complaints pouring in daily | against firms said to be violating the NRA ethical code. The Federal agents are quoted as authority for the state- ment that firms are practising the ‘split shifts” which force workers to | remain idle downtown, or pay addi- tional transportation to go home and back to work. | The above facts show that the | NRA is aimed against the workers and the small business concerns who are being driven to the wall by the | government which is working for the big bosses. The big capitalists are utilizing “public opinion” here to foree NRA membership on small firms. It is necessary to show this clearly to all workers who are being deceived into thinking that the NRA is aimed at “capitalists.” ‘The Rosslyn coffee shop, at 5th St., between Main and Broadway, has boosted its prices from 10 to 20 per cent, but its employees have received no wage increase. The customers have also noticed a considerable reduction in the quantity of food served at the higher prices. To the bosses, NRA means greater opportunities to rob workers and consumers, | Letters from Our Readers WORKERS SCHOOL PROTESTS New York City. | Comrade Editor: In the August 28rd issue of the Daily Worker you print a tevier from Bethlehem, N.

PART I. ITHIN the last three years the great milk trusts have been tightening their thumbs on the windpipes of the Pennsylvania. farmers with greater | force and the milk trusts of Pennsylvania have been helped to their hold | by the leadership of the Interstate Milk Producers’ Association. ‘This leadership is as corrupt as the leadership of the Dairymen’s League, | the «scab or New York mil ike. Figures given |in the journal of the Interstate, the | Milk Producer’s Review (Feb. 1933, | page 5), of monthly basic price of The Roosevelt farm program has) cent butterfat conten December 1930 .. January 1931 January 1932 . July 1932 ..... November 1932 January 1933 38 And at the present time there are farmers who are getting as low as} a cent and a half a quart. | The table shows that the farmers | | | have been forced to absorb a cut of almost a hundred per cent in the last two yonts. In the meantime, the milk trusts have been making mil- lions, The Supplee-Wills-Jones Co. did a total business of $12,000,000 in 1932. Its profit on milk was $2,000,- 000, and on ice cream $350,000. In 1931 the same company did $15,- 000,000 business with a rake-off of $2,950,000. In the same year the Na- FewCottonFarmers Benefit from Gov't Destruction Plan BIRMINGHAM, Ala.—With the boom Of cotton prices over, the small farmers and share-croppers are be- ginning to realize that they were de- leeived by the promises of the ad- ministration which persuaded them |to plow up their cotton. During the summer months, the landlords and speculators took ad- vantage Of the higher price to sell Jat a good profit the cotton they had stored since last Fall. Now that the small farmers have picked their crop they find a falling |market. In desperation many of | these farmers are refusing to carry out their contract to plow under. But stark terror is riding the cot- ton fields to force these farmers to destroy their crops. In Darlington Sounty, S. C., night | riders pulled up the cotton on about 30 acres of land belonging to farm- ers who refused to destroy their crop. In the ruined fields were signs reading, “Night Riders Administra- tion.” : Burn Farmers’ Cotton On other farms, sheriffs and dep- |uties have applied plow and torch | to do away with the cotton of farm- ers who now refuse to destroy their one means of livelihood. — Three Marion County farms in Columbia, Miss., were forcibly plowed under, and the cotton burned, by sheriff’s deputies. Thirteen hundred pounds of seed cotton went up in smoke. The desperate plight of the small farmers and croppers is reflected in a telegram to President Roosevelt from the Alabama Merchant’s Asso- ciation, which finds that goods cannot be sold to farmers without money or. crop. The telegram says: “Merchants. throughout Alabama report farmers are protesting bit- terly that the price of cotton is | lower since the acreage plow-under. With 100 per cent advance in flour and cotton goods, farmers see no| hope.” i tion in the recente— - Products Corp., a Mor- gan corporation, compelled the Sup- plee-Wills-Jones. Co. to declare divi- dends. of $4,000,000. So while the farmers were getting less than the cost of produgtion, the milk trusts were making a profit of two cents a quart on milk, 26 cents on a quart of table cream, and 55 cents on a quart of heavy cream. Similar profits are also being balan ed out of farmers in other sectiot of the country. The National Dairy Products Corp. has a total capitaliza- tion of $200,000,000 with 53 direct subsidiaries, some of which are: Shef- fields,.Hydrox Ice Cream, Breyer Ice Cream, and Kraft-Phoenix Cheese Co. And the whole set-up is con- trolled by Wall Street. The Roosevelt Farm program has not helped the Pennsylvania farm- ers. On the contrary, it's been a huge grindstone to sharpen the knife against the farmer. Secretary of Agriculture Wallace has appointed Clyde. King as.National Milk. Admin- istrater. This King last November as milk arbitrator in Philadelphia helped put a milk cut over on the farmers. The. new Pennsylvania milk code | raises the price of milk to the con- sumers, narrows the farmers’ market, and by. its licensing provision, com- pels the small dealers to charge con- sumers a minimum of 10 cents 2 quart milk. This helps the. milk trasts in the same way that the Milk Pitcher Bill in New York has been fattening Sheffields and Bordens. ‘Through the surplus and basic sys~ tem, the milk code gives the trusts the chance to buy milk from the farmers at the lower surplus prices and sell the milk at the higher basic scale. At the same time, this code gives the big dealers the whip over the farmers by allowing them to juggle around with what should be the basic and surplus figures for the farmer, The vast majority of Pennsylvania farmers are as sore as hornets about the way this code has been drawn up. At public hearings in Washing- ton they showed they were against it. The United Farmers Protective Association, the most militant of Pennsylvania farm organizations, met at Youth Hall in Hilltown on August 21 and threw. their sweaty glove square into the face of Roosevelt and Wallace. They threatened to call a strike within 30 days if their de- mands were not granted. They want Clyde King removed, and declare that if Allebach, the president of the In- terstate, be appointed milk adminis- trator over the Philadelphia milk shed then they will take that as a conspiracy to place the farmers’ “bit- terest enemies in positions of power to guarantee even greater profits to the dairy trust.” They demand that a flat price be paid for milk to the farmers. And most important, they demand five cents a quart for their milk and nine cents a quart for the consumer. For the first time in the history of the country a group of farmers have come out openly for a reduction in the price to the work- ers while demanding an increase for themselves. This stand of the United Farmers Protective Asscgiation has served to rally thousands of farmers and work- | ers to the flag pole. By PAUL LUTTINGER, M.D. ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS Hay Fever Mrs. H. B,, G. F., Detroit, and A.A., Bronx.—The following are the only methods of relief in hay fever: (1) A sea voyage—the NIRA will see to it that every worker gets such a free trip on the Berengaria. (2) Live in the White Mountains during the Hay Fever season (Aug, 15—Oct. 30). (3) Live in a house supplied with filtered air—you only need about $20,000 a year income for that. (4) Injections of pollen extracts, sup- plemented with calcium injections and ultra-violet light. This method is the only one that may cure you, if your disease is not too old. (5) Ap- plications of various adrenalin and ephedrin solutions and jellies to the | nose, eyes and throat, which give slight temporary relief. Siren Ae Cough of Seven Months Duration.
