The next town I stopped at was Bend, Ore. There I went to the best residential section where the N.R.A. poster was in practically every window. I asked for work at each place of 20 homes, to do some kind of work to earn food or a blanket to use on the road. I never received jone article in Bend. Walk Three Miles for Soup. ‘Then Spokane, Wash., was my next stop. The city of Spokane gives out oup at the county fair grounds, which s about three miles from down-town section. People must take this walk in order to get food from the city, and I was informed that a person must be a registered citizen of Spokane to even get in on this sort of junk. Sand Point, Idaho, was my next stop. Sand Point is a large lumber mill town, but the chief thing about it now is NO WORK. Missoula, Mont., was next.

Potato pickers were plentiful. It was impossible to give half of the people jobs who were there for jobs. Stapples, Minn., was my next stop. No work to be had there. Plenty of people were on the relief list, and a merchant told me that the city work- ers were not being paid their wages. ‘Then came the twin cities. Minne- apolis and St. Paul. I was informed that the unemployment relief list had grown 20 per cent since March 4, Then La Crosse, Wis. Plenty of unemployment there. The same for Portage, Wis.

Sanders, 43, who has been active in the revolutionary movement ever since he came to the United States in 1912. Comrade Sanders, a member of Unit 9, Section 1, District 2, of the Communist Party, fell dead in the street, while fulfilling a Party assign- ment. He had been in excellent health and very active in party and mass organization work until the very moment of his death. Before the war, Comrade Sanders belonged to the Workmen's Circle of the Socialist Party. He withdrew from the Socialist Party in protest against its policy toward the war, and later joined the C. P. He was very active in relief and defense work dur- ing the time of the Palmer raids and deportations, and in the past de- cade has been active in Polish work. He was a member of the Polish Buro of District 2. Arrangements for the funeral were in the hands of the Polish Solidarity Club, 29 St. Marks Place, an active revolutionary club which was orfan- ized a year ago by Comrade Sanders, and of the I. W. O., of which he was a member. He leaves two dauzh- ters, one of whom is now in the Soviet Union, the other active in the Y. C. L. in Paterson, N. J. The body has been brought to the Polish Solidarity Club, 29 St. Marks Place, where the body can be seen Thursday and Friday morning. The mass funeral will take place Friday, 11 o’clock with a march to 7th Street and Ave. A, where a mass onen air memorial meeting will be held, under the auspices of the club.

Surely the workers can learn a clear lesson that the Socialist Party is paving a way for Fascism. On my trip, the people in general are growing very sensitive politically. The word Communist is a familiar word everywhere. I am quite pleased with what I found on this line of language. But I am not pleased with the number of organized people. Small farmers in the whole farming section of the entire trip were bank- rupt. The small business class was worried, ance and exposed the corruption of their officials, Local 1051 of the Car- penters Union of Philadelphia was ordered suspended by the General Executive Board recently. On July 19, 1933, Carpenters’ Local Union 1051 of Philadelphia adopted @ resolution endorsing the Workers’ Unemployment Insurance Bill de- manding exemption of dues for all unemployed carpenters, and that un- employed remain good standing mem- bers in the organization; also de- manding the reduction of the high salaries of international officers to the average wages in the industry. Two-Thirds Drop In Members The Local Union, in supporting the resolution, explained that the Car- penters’ International lost thirds of its membership in the last four years, Unemployed carpente being unable to pay dues, are si pended and expelled from the organ- {zation.

Convention Nov. 25-26 NEW YORK, — The New York Meet Lead Membaors to, i Park Avenue drill-shed, Obviously, Sonnenberg couldn’t of smoke and the challenge? went the way of all professional} challenges. I heard Curley state officially that he would have nothing to do with anybody as raw in his ignorance of the sport as Gus, Even in a fake bout you had to put up a show. Now: Curley has a corner on the beef market and Sonnenberg has finally signed his union card. He wrestled Jim Browning for the Cur- ley tiara earlier in the week at the | Garden. Sad, sad Gustave has not been played around these parts recently and it was necessary to build a strong card around the bauble bout. Sandor Szabo was billed and one of the Duseks and Stein and Don George and Strangler Lewis. Some of these never got around to per- forming but that’s in the tradi- tion, Dean vs. Savoldi was the eve- ning’s great attraction. Meee ET me cite this bout’s antece- dents. Monday night's perform- ance was a triumph of the Cur- ley system. “Man Mountain” Dean weighs 302 pounds. Years ago I used to see him wrestle under the name of Soldier Jack Leavitt, but a few months back he grew long whis- kers and adopted the hypsographic pseudonym. He was supposed to meet Savoldi on the first Brown- ing card of the season, but some- thing happened. The two walked down the aisle together, but when they got to the press row Dean whacked Jumpitig Joe, who fell on a sports writer who fell into his telegraphic instrument. The in- strument was broken, the sports writer patched up with a couple of stitches, S-v-'di restrained and Dean disqualified. In their second meeting Savoldi | butted the “Georgia land owner and cotton farmer” in the groin and the proceedings became scan- dalous, “Man Mountain” en:"2d un on the canvas with both hands pressed frantically into his erctch and declined all invitations to clear out. It was a masterly ar- rangement. Reforee, judges and police tried to budge the recum- bent colossus who howled and writhed but refused to disentangle his forearms from their indecorous situation, The cops in the ring blushed, the ringsidé was mirth- ful and the galleries hooted in de- rision or whatever it is people hoot in. This time the former apple of | Knute Rockne’s eye was pronounced | rotten. Jumping Joe, the 205 pound | underdog, hopped out of the ropes protesting his innocence but dis- qualified as hell. He was given a great hand. Man Mounto'n Dean was carried to his dressing room. ee: | stage was set. Every paper in| town gave notices, cartoons and | columns to their third meciing which came off Monday. I reprint | |a tiny section of one of Jack Cur- ley’s releases to this depattment: “Governor Eugene Talinadge of the State of Georgia has taken a personal interest in the rapid rise of the spectacular “Man Moun- tain” Dean on the mat. If Dean de- feats Savoldi he will be matched with the winner of the title bout and one of his staunchest rooters at the ringside will be Governor ‘Talmadge, according to a letter Jack Curley received from the State Ex- ecutive yesterday. | get Wolgast, br Dynamiting Man Mountain i} ‘OT so long ago when the ole dabbil Richard Shikat, was lay- ing the foundations of the da-da school of wrestling at the he and Jack Curley signed a joint statement to the effect that Gus Sonnenberg, then a drawing card, was a fraud and a punk and a horse’s tail and Dick would post a forfeit and wrestle the impostor for money or marbles. wrestle his way out of a cloud The communication follows: Dear Mr. Curley: I understand that my friend Man Mountain Dean is progressing rap- ‘dly toward the ton in the wrestling world up there, I am very much interested in him and his success and would jike to see him get @ match for the world’s champion- ship in wrestling.

We used to call him Stone Mountain down here, Thanking you for your interest and hoping we can see this match in the near future, I am, with all geod wishes, Cordiaily yours, (Signed) Eugene Talmadge, Governor. Talmadge is the man who has ig- nored hundreds of telegrams demand- ing that he free Angelo Herndon, working out a sentence of twenty years on the chain gang for carry- ing copies as the Daily Worker. hee R. CURLEY will tell you confi- deniially that Dean is trained and managed by his wife, of equally size- able proportions. He will expect you to print that Dean has plans “to open the biggest establishment for women’s headgear in the country.” And you can’t laugh in his face be- cause he does get the stuff printed in one form or another. Monday over 12,000 paid from $1.45 to $3.45 to see Savoldi and Dean do it again. This time the pair shook hands and smiled and patied each other shoulders. Joe came to the Mountain like a couple of Mohammeds, Dean acted mean, He cuffed and slapped. The crowd booed and Joe threw up his hands helplessly. The budding mil- liner was butting inexorably. There was laughter and shouting and the fierce, shrill, frantic little cries of joy that hem ycu in ¢% ringside. ae ae "INK of a shrowd and stupid \\ ck Curley animating all that bi zn emotiovcl machincry .

Williamsburgh Comrades Welcome De Luxe Cafeteria ADVERTISEMENT New Rates in Camp Nitgedaiget In 1932 when the cost of living was reduced and the wages of the workers were cut, our proletarian camps were the first to reduce the tates from $16.00 to $12.00 per week. The new rate was made on a non- profitable basis to enable the thous- ands of workers to spend their va- cations in our camps. The situation now is quite re- versed. During the past six months, ‘the New Deal increased the cost of living, particularly of tocd products. In comparison to last year food prices increased at least 20 per cent, and in some instances more. Faced with these conditions, the Camp Committee postponed the ne- cessary increase of rates to meet bd new situation as long as pos- le, Comrades, we now find ti impos- sible, if we are to maintain our camp, to continue on the old rate. Therefore, we are compelled to raise the minimum of $1.00 per week, which brings the rates to $14.00 including tax, Rates for I. W. O. members bring- ing a letter signed by branch sec- retaries are $13.00 including tax. We can also accomodate those who are’ in need of special diets during tthe winter season.
