Letters from A WEDDING “The evening’s program was one of the most remarkable ever staged as a@ labor defense benefit,” says the leading story in the Current “Indus- trial Worker” ‘describing the wedding of Athos Terzani at an affair or- ganized by the I. W. W. for the benefit of the class war prisoners, Although the general purposes of this affair were certainly deserving, there are some phases of it that were so remarkable that many die hard Wobblies must have turned over in their grave. The best man at this Red Wedding of a militant worker, recently re- leased from the capitalist courts, was none other than “Norman Thomas, Socialist Leader”! Norman Thomas, the eminent Socialist, as best man, must have been hard to stomach for many of the Wobs. Not because this hombre is a political faker of the highest rank. Oh no, they suffer no compunctions about this little fact because Mr. Thomas receives words of praise quite often nowadays in the I, W. W. papers. But think what happens to the wobbly “principle” that is opposed to “political action” and “politicians.” The “Industrial Worker,” in its special article on the event, informs us of their success, with the help of Mr, Thomas, in securing the help of some one appropriate to perform the ceremonies. “The ceremony was performed by Judge Nathan Sweedler of the Brook- lyn Municipal Court, known for fair decisions in labor cases, who had agreed to serve at Mr. Thomas’s re- quest.” Shades of Frank Little, Wesley Everett, and Joe Hill! What would these working class martyrs, and those who are still in Centralia, think of the I. W. W. praising a judge for his “fair decisions” in labor cases. These boys would tell you that there are no “fair decisions” for labor in capitalist courts, and that ALL judges are tools of the master class! Yes the affair was remarkable, a wedding between the I. W. W. and the Socialist leaders performed by a Judge who is “fair” to labor! —B. B. Hi. LIGHT SHED BY “DAILY” NEW YORK.—For a long time I could not see why capitalist papers praised “welfare” and Home Relief Bureaus when I saw how these agencies treated workers and backed up evictions, and it was only after reading the Daily Worker that I un- derstood the role of these bosses’ if necessary. —H.

Dear Comrade Editor: I read the Daily Worker every day and am trying my best to get others to read it and support it. Herewith enclosed are two dollars, which I have been asking to the working men for | help of dimes and five cents to keep our precious Daily Worker alive. Also I hope that all readers of the Daily Worker try their best to do the same. We must see how hard it fights for the Scottsboro boys’ lives, the rights for the working class, and so forth. I repeat, we also must try our best to keep the Daily Worker alive. is is the way we can help it most. I only collected two dollars. It isn't much, but all readers do the same as I did, it would be much; so do yours also. With best of luck to the Daily ‘Worker. —C. H. T. A % PAGE “DAILY” EVERY DAY Brooklyn, N. Y. Comrade Editor: All workers should greet the Daily Worker on its tenth anniversary with great enthusiasm. It is a great achievement, The obstacles that capi- talists put in the way to block its success are so many. All workers should therefore strongly support the Daily Worker. I hope that 1,000,000,- 000 copies of the Jan. 6th Daily Worker are sold. Beat the Daily News (jackass paper) record circulation. I sincerely wish that in the near future, the Daily Worker will have 24 pages every day. Twenty-four pages of the Daily Worker means 24 pages of facts. Each article valuable information. Each editorial well worth while reading. By reading the Daily Worker, we get the news of events as they really are. By reading canitalist papers, we must draw our ~~ .. conclusions from conflicting reports, contradictions and general nonsense. The Daily Worker does not have any pictures of tnde- cent society women (called beautiful by the capitalist press) dressed in mail bags that are heavily laden with dirt. The general atmosphere of the working floor is thick with dust. The maintenance of good working temperature is neglected. During the winter, one must wear heavy sweat- ers to keep from catching cold; dur- ing the summer, it frequently becomes so stifling that physical exhaustion is induced by the lack of ventliation more than the’ work. These grievances, as many regu- lars tell me, are traditional in the Post Office. They continue to be present because no organization in the past has had the interest of the worker to that extent at heart. How- ever, workers cen successfully resist such conditions by forming militant shop committees, taking up these grievances with their superintendents. And they can win public opinion on their side by publicizing these con- ditions in a real fighting workers’ paper, the Daily Worker. —B. C. Wages Are Cut By CWA in Florida LOCKHART, Florida—This is the third week that the Civil Works Program has been functioning in Lockhart, Orange County, Fla. For the week commencing Nov. 27, we received 40 cents an hour for our services. For the week commencing Dec, 4, we received 30 cents an hour for our services. Our wages were cut without our knowledge or consent. We received no notice whatsoever of this cut. The boys are afraid to complain or protest for fear they will lose their jobs. They were told by the foreman they if they were dismissed for any reason whatsoever, they would receive no more employment or assistance of any kind from the city, state or federal government. Next week we may receive another | cut in wages, who can tell? Salt Pork Only Xmas Dinner Given L. A. County Relief Toilers (By An Unemployed Worker) LOS ANGELES, Cal.—According to the papers before Christmas, the people who are on County Relief were supposed to get Christmas bask- ets consisting of a chicken, vege- tables, eggs, butter and lots of other food. But when I got there, all they gave me was a piece of salt pork, and they told me to come back next week. When I got there today, they gave me another piece of sow-belly and they told me that it was the last and not to come any more. The chicke ns and other food that we were supposed to get were given to the churches, and we who are on the county didn’t get any of it. I saw a county food label on some dried fruit that was given out at a church Christmas. Work at 20 Below Zero In CCC Military Camp Cheated of 3 Days Pay (By a Worker Correspondent) CHENANGO FALLS, N.

Some fellows had stood in. line since 9 p.m. Monday and they now saw visions of jobs. However, after only about 500 of a line of 2,000 to 3,000 men and boys had bee! registered the rest were turned away, including myself. We asked what we could do and were told to come back again some othe time. Stand out in the cold, ‘again all night and again face the prospect of being turned away. That is how Roosevelt keeps his, promises! There may be other comrades who think that the C. W. A. will give them a job. I advise them not to waste their time. ‘ i I can be sure that we would never. have to wait in line to be drafted, into the army. CWA Cheats Workers Out of Their Wages (By a C.W.A.
