The older cops, being a dumb bunch, the Chief and Mayor raised their hours from 8 and 9 to 11, and the cops were donating 10 per cent, by force, to the city charity rackets. ‘The cops are now seeing that they are getting it on the chin the same as the workers that were striking against starvation. These cops did not think that the city racketeers would cut their wages when they were beating and arrest- ing the needle workers and food workers. Now, if the cops strike against this deal, they get the gate and lose their pensions, N.R.A. BENEFITS BOSSES (By a Worker Correspondent.) NEW YORK, N. Y,—Different in- dustries are petitioning leave to ex- tend the hours of employment of ship- Ping, office, sales and supervisory help. They also want to extend the periods of apprenticeship, etc. Some workers work 8 hours daily, 6 days a week in violation of codes; yet nothing is done.

Cotton Worker Describes Jail in Fresno County By a Worker Correspondent FRESNO COUNTY JAIL, Cal—t | was arrested for my activity in the cotton fields in Fresno County. Chiet | of Police Gorringer told me he was a friend of mine while questioning me, | that I wouldn’t need to be afraid to answer him, I told him that he was| no friend of mine, and said that he represents the bosses and I the} workers. While I was confined in the Fresno County jail an attorney was arrested for being drunk. His name is Hill, but |since he was an attorney the jailer booked him as Johnson. All beds were taken, so the jailer made one inmate sleep on the floor so this drunken attorney could have a bed. He was turned loose without going to court. That shows you the difference between the workers and the politi- cians of the bosses. This jail was 20 by 30 feet. They had from 50 to 103 workers in every day for vagrancy. They were sen- tenced to four hours on the wood pile, then run out of town. A disabled world war veteran was sentenced on the wood pile. He told the officers the work was too hard. The answer he got was a punch in the eye that broke his eye glasses and cut his nose badly. He was taken back to jail for 30 days. He is a member of the Disabled American Veterans and also the V.F.W., but no help came from them.

Fruit Grower and Consumer Victims of the Canneries By a Worker Correspondent OGDEN, Utah—While in many in- dustries and in some communities (ike cotton and wheat plantations and some fruit sections) it is true that the growers are heavy exploiters, this is not generally true in the fruit industry. Most. of this fruit is brought to the packing houses and can- neries by. small producers, who themselves barely make ends meet ‘Yecause their production is lim- ited and their output barely suffi- cient at the prices they are paid by the big packing houses and canneries to pay taxes and operating expenses of the farm. Many orchards have been abandoned entirely because of this situation during the past three years.

In the last two years I have had contact with dozens of men who, ac- cording to their statements made to me, were six or seven years ago sup- posed to be in the $100,000 (or high- er) class, and are today without a penny and have been dispossessed of their homes and who voluntarily (be- fore I exposed my own hand) de- clared to me that “only a revolution like the Russians had” can bring about 2 desirable status.

A Dollar to Fight Against “Sailing” to Capitalist War "MILWAUKEE, Wis. .—A worker, D. G. J., sends a dollar to the Daily Worker and pledges to send more later, He likes the Daily Worker more than ever before. He found “8. S. Utah,” the novel about sea life that ran seri-” ally in the Daily Worker, fascinat- ing. ‘The only experi- ence in “sailing” that he had, he says, was to “sail” to the “war to end war.” The Daily Worker, sup- ported by all the workers, will make 1.00) an end of sailing to imperialist war “gae| trenches.

The matter. was referred to the| Friends of the Soviet Union for at- tention. Upon investigation, the F.

As | we cannot tell which buildings were | acquired with stolen land rent and} which were acquired with the wages | of the workers, it would be difficult to differentiate, but the 500 million dol- lars Jand rent of the people should be collected to run the subways, “EI,” busses and trolleys without paying fare. ‘The payment of 500 million dollars land rent to landlords for nothing (landlords do not provide land) leaves the workers 500 million dollars short of their purchasing power. That is why factories clog with goods and the workers are out of work, If the 500 million stolen land rent now deposited by landlords with the bankers and loaned to run the city was used to run the subways (with no fare from the workers), it would bring a solution to economic problems. George Lloyd, Sec’y, Anti-Taxation League. Editor’s Reply: The colossal rob- bery of the landlords and bankers which the above letter shows is undoubtedly true. And it gives only | a slight idea of what the working class could accomplish if it over- threw the power of the capitalist class. However, the writer of the above letter is wrong when he thinks that the mere doing away with rent and bank payments will solve the fundamental economic problem of the worker. The funda- mental economic problem for the worker is the abolition of wage slav- ery and exploitation. It is out of wage slavery and exploitation that all other capitalist robbery comes. This capitalist exploitation can only be destroyed by the revolutionary overthrow of capitalism and the establishment of the Proletarian Dictatorship. It is the Communist Party which leads the working class and all the oppressed sections of the population in this fight against capitalist exploitation, SOCIALIST LABOR PARTY FASCISTS UNDER THE SKIN New York. Editor, Daily Worker: Your recent articles on the Social- ist Labor Party were very instructive. I shall prove by their own words that they are fascists under the skin. Let me quote a few items from their organ the “Weekly People:” “And every boy and girl, who Joins the party called Communist, is either a loutish, ignorant churl, or a mes- merized _wild-eyed = romanticist.” Shades of Hit! sm! In connection with the anti-fascist demonstration held in Philadelphia last week they write: “Communists shackle girl to pole as she leads protest.” “She was chained to the lamp- post so that she would have time to shriek her robot-like, senseless gib- berish before the POLICE could re- move her. The expression on her face reveals a warped or under-de- veloped mentality. Coarseness and ignorance are stamped on her fea- tures.

Thane, Brown..and Elkins were overheard by five members of the Council, telling everything they knew to the heads of,the,R.F.C. ‘Thane set up an_ organization of his own. At the first meeting he was elected chairman for two and a half years, and he declared that his or- | ganization was for the protection of the citizens of the U.S.A. only. This organization. comes out- openly and shows its fascist tendencies when it discriminates.against all foreign- born workers. This is what Hitler is doing in Germany, Thane has also heard of some mu- tual benevolent society rackets.

Now, because the Italian Bureau of the Communist Party is carrying on activity in the Italian neighbor- hood for better conditions and against fascism, they are trying more than ever to build-the fascist organ- ization to combat the Party.
