It is up to those who have been here a longer time.” The employes give no definite an- swer.

Lucille Brown, 9 years, Jamaica, N. ¥., busted her penny savings bank to send 2 donation to the $40,000 fund. “I like Jim Martin by Quirt very much,” she writes. “My father buys the Daily Worker every day. Some day I want to be @ Pioneer. I send this bank to help the Daily Worker.” Lenin Glass, 8 years old, Provi- dence, R. 1, given 25 cents by his father to go to a show, not only sent the 25 cents to the “Daily”. but went out and collected a dollar for the Daily Worker. He reads the children’s column in the “Dally” every week.

She started to read the Daily Worker only recently. ‘Theodore, who is 21, also reads the “Producers News,” revolutionary farmers’ weekly.

I felt like saying to him: “Master, the machine you're using is getting me sick.” But I know he'd answer with a smile: “It saves time, which means money.” : Some of the work of the machine had to be done over with the brush. It doesn’t do a good job like hand labor. In time I estimate he saved about two hours. In money perhaps $1 on an apartment. The boss told me sadiy: “I can’t use the machine in occupied apartments because it ruins the furniture.” One reason he likes the machine is because he is only a learner and can’t handle the brush. I only worked a short time with this boss. And al- ‘ready that job is costing me money. This week a boss had a week’s work for me. That is five days at $5 a day.

Buffalo Unemployed Deprived of Autos Needed for Odd Jobs Fight Against This and Other Vicious Rulings To Be Puilt at Conference Dec. 17 (By a Worl.cr Correspondent) BUFFALO.—We have the following vicious and unfair ruling in the city of Buffalo. The city, through its relief agen- cies, the Department of Social Wel- fare, demands that the license plates be turned over to them if a worker is still fortunate enough to have a car. One worker, a paperhanger and! painter, who really needs his car for an odd job occasionally, and others who could possibly make a few cents peddling articles, to enable them to occasionally buy a piece of beefsteak for the kids, are even dented this by the h‘gh-handed policies of the Wel- fare Department in this way stealing license plates away from the workers who pay for them. In the Pittsburgh District and the Beaver Valley: District the Unem- ployed Councils smashed this vicious ruling to hell by sending large dele- gations to protest and defending the workers. Why should we workers bow to such high-handed methods? The rich do not pay for this relief, we workers pay for every damn cent of it, for every cent of taxes is taken out of our hides directly’ or indirectly; not a penny is paid by the rich para- sites. I also wish to call your attention, brother workers of Buffalo, to the lousy ruling of the. flophouse here in Buffalo. A single man from the Black Rock section applied for relief Eyes and Skin Are Burned by Creosote Paint on Pipe Line (By a Worker Correspondent.) DENVER, Colo.—During the month of October, 1933, I worked on a pipe ‘ine job at Hosington, Kansas. When I arrived there on the first of October I heard that the Truman-Smith Con- struction Co. of Eldorado, Kansas, was going to buy fifty miles of eighteen-inch gas line from Olmits to Bushton using Hosington as a base of operations, as it is about midway between the two towns. It was several days before the pipe line company was ready to hire any men, but every morning before seven there was a crowd of one hundred to three hundred men around the Ford garage which was the head- quarters of the pipe line company. Whenever John Thompson, the pipe line superintendent, put in his appearance they nearly mobbed him. He could hardly get around because they pressed so close upon him beg- ging to be put on. A‘ter about three days of this they sent out two paint gangs of about two dozen men each. It is necessary t»> paint the pine with a thick coat oi creosote paint to protect it from moisture in the ground. It is al- ready painted to be sure when it comes from the factory, but that is not enough. Little did those men for the most part know or realize the effects of creosote paint on the skin when ‘Thompson told them to climb on the two trucks waiting to take them out on the line, but the next day they knew what it would do. Though they put lots of cold cream and vase- line on their faces the next day it did not seem to.do much good, be- cause their faces kept right on burn- ing and blistering. However the men on the paint gangs were lucky compared to the men they sent out on the cleaning gang. About twelve inches on the ends of the nive is left unpainted till the pine is joined together and ready to lower into the ditch. The work of the cleaning gang was to take sieel brushes and scrub the ends of the pipe to remove the rust and any paint happened to have been smeared on the unpainted ends. ‘The scrubbing of the pipe made the rust dust and paint dust fly in the air and in the faces of the men doing the cleaning. About the second day the men began to have trouble with their eyes. They began to burn very, very badly, to swell up till they could hardly get them open. Every- thing looked foggy to them, and pus was running from the corners of their eyes. They suffered terribly from the burning of the creosote in the paint, and they looked about one hundred times as bad as a person suffering from hay fever. After they had a whole gang of about two dozen men incapacitated because of their eyes, the pipe line company ordered a bunch of goggles ‘0 protect the eyes of the others from the dust. I do not know how these men got slong or how much damage was done and was told to come down to the Erie County flophouse to eat each day. He explained that he must walk eight miles from where he lives to get a meal at the flophouse, and walk back eight miles, altogether 16 miles a day for a meal of poor grade grub, The Welfare told him that Was no concern of theirs. Brothers, we must open up our Workers’ Centers here that we may get together to smash this kind of relief. Demand jobs from the Civil Works Association by going in hun- dreds, organize delegations from each to their eyes because I left them soon afterward.

Although this comrade is not a member of | the Party, he raises a very im- portant question for our Party and our mass organizations, i. e., the functioning of Party fractions ii | the mass organizations. The situa- tion described in this letter, where. a district convention of the LL.D, was held with little or no repzesen- | tation from the trade unions ar the language organizations could not have developed if Party fracy | tions had been functioning prop. | erly not only in the trade unions | and in the language organizations, but also in the 1. L. D. * ae The International Labor Defense held its District Convention on Nov, 25 and 26, 1933. 1 I_am an active member of the 1} L. D., and have participated in many:| conventions in the past, and, at this! time I feel that I must say some-| thing as to what is happening in our’ organization today. I suppose that} many comrades will ask why I did} not bring out the shortcomings about | which I am writing now at the con- } vention. Well, to these comrades I want to say that at the time of the | convention I had not as yet ful realized all that I have to say now. Poor Preparations for Convention ~ ‘To begin with the preparations’ of | this most important convention: The. Daily Worker did not publish an ar ticle proving to the working mass the importance of the I. L. D. or call- ing upon the various organizations to | Participate in this convention, nor} even carry a notice as to when and | where the convention will take place. Previously the Daily Worker used to greet the I. L. D. Convention, but not this year. The following in-| stance will prove that the workers actually did not know the place of Branch; Stresses Wa | rallyin; in ILD Work N. Y. Worker nist Guidance in Every lue of Leadership Organizations did not find ff to be represented at the L. D. Convention. LUD, Organizationally Weak L, D., which gained tte- reputation during the fight cco and Vanzetti, for Tom for the Scottsboro boys, and nds of smaller cases, has név- ess a very weak organizational While great masses are around the I. L. D. we tind that thousands have joined the LL.D. dropped out. In the N. ¥. , where we have 5,000 Com- Party members, we should | have at least 50,000 I. L. D. members and we should sell 75,000 Labor Dew fenders. Who is responsible? What is wrong? Did the leadership an membership of the I. L. D. do every: thing in their power to line up unions and mass organizations for its sup- port? Or does the leadership of mass organizations not understand the importance of the LL.D.? It we have no connection with mass ore anizations, it should be our first task to accomplish it. I asked Comrade Simon, secretary of I. W.'O. Branch No. 1029, whether he received a call for the convention, and he stated that he did not re« ceive such a call. I also asked seve eral other leading comrades from clubs and mass organizations, from A. F. of L. Carpenters’ Union the same question, and I received the same answer as I received from Com- rade Simon, It looks, comrades, that | we did not even bother to send lete to the various organizations ask- g them to be represented, I am not a Party member, butt know that there are none, or very few, I. L. D. fractions in the branches, This holds true in the sections and probably all over the district. Most of the Party members are not active in the I.L.D, because they have more the convention. » On Sunday, the day of the co vention, as we approached the Le | important assignments. Most of the | branches have no responsible leader= | ship, even the sections have no dis- Ave. headquarters, a worker was look- ing at the buildings and walking up and down the street. He finally no-! ticed a girl comrade walking with.a| Negro comrade. He then approached, them and inquired where the LL.D.! Convention was taking place. This same worker had a Daily Worker’ in | his pocket. This, comrades, proves to. us that a mistake was made some-. wheres. Furthermore, two weeks} have already passed since the con-| vention, and yet the Daily Worker” has failed to publish an article as to what had happened at the IL L. D.) Convention. At the convention I happened. jo. be on the credentials committee, | Upon checking up the credentials, we.) immediately noticed the shortcom- ings—only two small trade unions were repzesented. I proposed that: we report these two unions among the mass organizations, but Comradg Friedman pointed out that this would be a criminal attitude if we would not show this shortcoming. | We had 142 delegates representing 11,502 workers. Out of this we had 98 delegates from I. L, D. sections, representing 2,711 members. We had about eight I. W. O. Branches rep- resented out of 250 branches. We had two unions out of at least 30. industrial unions and numberless op-, position groups and other unions where we have left wing leadership. Where were the Women’s Councils, + cipline. Tiinderstand very well that we canndt have the same discipline in the I. L. D. as in the Communist Party, but there is a way to develop responsible leadership in sections and branches, if there is someone who will set an example and lead the way to do things right. We have 106 I. lL. D. Branches in the New York District. We must have a Party fraction of two or three in every branch, because each branch , bas the possibility of growing to the | Size of a section, In every branch there must be a Party comrade who has no other important work, but to build the I.

This also holds true for the section, ‘suere should be a living connection be- tween section and branches, and not merely attend all important matters through letters, the section must give veal leadership to the branch, I am sending this letter, as I have mentioned before, because the Worker has entirely neglected to pub- neighborhood.

The Russian, Ukrainian and Slay- ish branches of Cleveland, Ohio, raised $65 for the “Daily” at a dance and concert. This amount was re- ceived late Monday at the Daily Worker office. An affair held by Unit 3, Commu- nist Party, of Worcester, Mass., net- ted $40 for the “Daily.” Section 12, Communist Party, Chi- cago, Ill, sent an additional $9.86, putting this section over the top. But Section 12 will not stop its activity until the $40,000 campaign is a com- Plete success, How about other Chi- cago sections? Which will be next to raise its quota or pass it? Union Members Help Members of Cigar Makers Interna- tional Union No. 14, of Chicago, sent $1 to the Daily Worker, Two students of Hunter College, New York, found a quarter on the street and immediately sent it to the “Daily.” The American Youth Club, New York, raised over $60, and added another $30.11 which was collected at a lecture by Scott Nearing held under the auspices of the Club. On Dec, 22nd, 8 p. m., the American Youth Club will hold another lec- ture for the “Daily,” at the Premier Palace, Hinsdale and Sutter Ave., with Mary Van Kleek as the main speaker, Mary Van Kleek bolted General Johnson’s N.R.A. advisory beard and criticized its unfairness towards the working-class.
