LIVES IN OLD RESERVOIR (By a Worker Correspondent) INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.—One worker | was forced here to move into an old | Water Reservoir to make his home \there. This place was used by an old grain elevator which is covered by sheet iron.* The worker uses an old iron barrel for a stove and pieces he has picked up from freight cars to make his bed. His address is in the rear of Lawter Furniture Co. in 100 Block on South Harding St. He is getting his eats any way he can, for the trustee won't help him be- cause he is single. Well there is a little town near here that has been built out of sheet iron which is called Cartisville and Hooverville. This town has its own post office and its own police force. This town is on the Banks of White River. It has 36 houses in it and last winter there were a couple that froze to death. By a Woiker Correspondent TORR: TON, Wyo. —Beet field Ww were paid on an average of 15 per cent Ie: 1] farmers could not were compelled to and children in the ver workers em- cn to the total av- ear. In the mean- time the cost of living has increased at least 25 per cent, leaving these workers 40 per cent worse off than before the N.R.A. By the time the beet work had been finished, C.W.A. coolie labor had begun, but since most of the beet field laborers are Mexican aliens they were denied both work and relief. In the Holly Sugar Corp. factory hours have been reduced from 12 to 8, but so great did the speed-up become that each factory made on an average $200 per day profit above last year. The hourly raise mounted to more than 10 per cent while the cost of living amounted to 25 per cent and still is cli g. The Great Western Sugar Co. also got by with less total labor costs. erage than | than last year, and | This company paid about the same to the farmers, but received at least 60 cents more per 100-weight for su- gar during the past year. Now that the factories have shut down with the end of the sugar mak- ing period, these workers in many lecalities are being told that those who have had employment during the preceding 90 days will get neither relief nor C.W.A. jobs. This company alone made « profit of $9009,000 in the past year. ‘Now in most localities of the moun- tain and western plains states, the C.W.A. workers have been given a 50 per cent wage cut, and many have been completely laid off. Many work- ers who boasted during the Roose- yelt ballyhoo campaign about getting a raise now realize that wages per hour count very little, because of the fact that they must live while not working, proving that wages should be figured by the year, and, for that matter, from year to year instead of by the hour. These workers are rapidly developing the habit of com- paring average wages with average living costs. Campbell Soup Co. Forming Company Union Thru Terror Cannery Workers Industrial Union Calls on Work- ers to Fight for Organization of Their Choice By a Worker Correspondent CAMDEN, N. J.—The Campbell Soup Co. in Camden has once more shown its dragon head by issuing a hurry call to its employes to attend a mass meeting for the employes of the Campbell Soup Co. only, on Wednesday evening, Jan. 31. This shows the attitude of the manage- ment of the company that they have no intention of recognizing the Can- nery Workers Industrial Union, which is the workers’ choice. At the last meeting of the C.W.LU. evidence was produced by a worker that the management of the company already has used various forms of threats against the workers to join the com- pany union, such as dismissal, etc. Therefore it is the duty of the Can- nery Workers Industrial Union and every member, to be on guard, and answer by organizing the shop 100 per cent. At present all activity of crganizing the C.W.L.U. belongs to a few workers, who deserve credit for organizing the shop 80 per cent and sncreased the C.W.I.0. membership to 1,400. On with the struggle. For union recognition and wages of 80 cents an hour. —Campbell Soup Worker. “Naked As A (By « Shoe Worker Correspondent) CAMP HILL, Ala—I want this article in the Daily Worker to let everyone know just how the white ruling class is treating the Negroes here. Negroes here have nothing to go upon, no clothes, bread, nor shoes to protect them from the weather, while the capitalists have everything. Last year we had no farm, and I, a@ woman, walked to Dadeville until my legs were fit to break in parts, trying to get relief from the Red Cross, and then, when I did get it, Tl be damned if I couldn’t have a swallowed it alk whole and felt the same as swallowing a pill. I signed up, and they said, “You tell what you need, and you could get it.” So this is what I get: a little scrip of paper to keep me think- ing, I'l get something after a while. The damn bosses say they are living fine, and they don’t give a damn if we die. But if we workers organize, they will die because we will demand wkat we want, and they will have to sive it to us. They say they will die before they live to see Negroes treated as people. The R.F.C. relief was sent down here. Some got relief, some did not. Those that got no relief were told by the landlords that they had been re- moved to the farm. What the hell can they do on a farm with nothing to work, not even a mule hair. Yet they claim they are doing all they can to help us, but we can read a little between the lines, They are trying to enslave us and starve us to death, by telling us all their sweet mouth lies. We are here naked as a damn picked bird in whistling time, and no Picked Bird” help coming, so you know just how we are facing this cold weather. Hope that some other Negro women will see this and open their eyes and help us to work by organizing and smashing down the rotten system of the capitalists, $2.05 A Week Relief In Sicily Island, La. (By a Farmer Correspondent) SICILY ISLAND, La.—There are two of us in the family, and the gov- ernment gives us only $2.05 a week to starve on with six pounds of fat back pork. For every dependent the government gives three pounds more fat back and about 90 cents more to live on. FROM A SOUTHERN STUDENT LAKE CHARLES, Fla—A great many of us, young Southerners, ed- ucated in the bourgeois mold, are be- ginning to see through the stodginess of Southern institutions. The strug- gles of the sharecroppers and mill workers have influenced us pro- foundly. These events have made us feel that the energies of the Southern proletariat can be diverted into a nobler cause than the Baptist Church, NOTE We publish letters from farmers, agricultural workers, cannery work- ers, and forestry workers every Thursday. These workers are urged to send us letters about their con- ditions of work, and their struggles to organize. Please get these let- ters to us by Monday of each week. White Bosses of ChambersCounty Plot Againt Sharecroppers Union (By s Group of Sharecroppers) DADEVILLE, Ala.—Mr. Frank Ra- nolds, a Chamber County landlord, was one of the prosecutors of the 11 share-croppers that are in Lafayette jail. He is poisoned against the union, helping old man Paul Bowers out in his frame-up. Mr. B. F. Bartley is another one of the prosecutors of ,the frame-up against the 11 share-croppers in La- fayette jail. He didnt know any- thing about what was done to Paul, but he had to get in it. They all say that they are going to break up the union. The Negroes are signing against them, and they are against the Negro for joining this union. They say this is to get somebody in trouble. Mr. O. A. Seroy, a Chambers County landlord, is one of the prose- cutors, too, for Paul Powers against the 11 share-croppers in jail at La- fayette, Ala. Mr. Jasten Pool, a stool-pigeon Negro, hopes to frame- up this with old man Paul and these white men. Mr. Seroy is deadly poi- son to the union. Mr. Johnny Woody, he says, he js going to see to it that every damn one of the Negroes goes to Kilby. He is a Negro-hater, too. Mr. Fred Calliehand says every damn one of the Negroes ought to be sent to the mine. Mr. Calliehand is one of the business men of Lafayette. Also Mr. Dock Jackson, one of the big business men of Lafayette, he had George Pritchett, one of the 11 share-croppers, in jail at Lafayette. Mr. Jackson has gone and taken George’s mules and stuff, since he | has been in jail. Greetings for the Daily Worker 10th Anniversary Finnish Workers Club Rockford, Tl. TUSKAL South Bend, Ind.

The banks are continu- ally selling farms for the mortgages, and every circuit court sells a bunch for delinquent taxes. Even the farm- ers who own farms in the river bot- toms are broke, and are losing their homes. They raise general crops, corn mostly in the river bottoms. On the hill land they have meadows, and raise corn, wheat, soy beans, etc., and a few hogs and cattle. The price of these are so low, that they can’t possibly make any profit, and everything is done on such a small scale that if they made a little profit, it would not even pay their taxes. A few farmers try to work the small saw mills, but the N. R. A. had stopped all this. The state did @ little highway work and gave the boys a few weeks work at starvation wages. There is no relief system at all. We must organize many meetings of as many people as possible to dis- cuss our grievances and conditions, and to write protests to the county, state and federal government, also to organize penny sales at mortgage and tax sales, etc. and to organize a country wide demonstration for re- Nef, against foreclosures, evictions and for unemployment insurance at the expense of the Federal govern- ment and employers. Letters from Our Readers BREAK THE INJUNCTIONS Dear Comrade Editor: Recently a Socialist worker asked me, “Why do your Communist com- rades support restaurants and cafe- terias on 14th St., which either don’t employ union labor or even have in- junctions against the Food Workers’ Industrial Union. I felt quite embarrassed because I could not answer that point. There are at least four or five places on 14th St. which have either signed up with the Food Workers’ Industrial Union or advertise in the Daily Worker. But in spite of that, some comrades insist on patronizing such places as the Crusader or Willow cafeterias. Please enlighten me on this point. : EDITOR’S NOTE: It is our opinion that comrades should not patronize the places named. These restaurants have injunctions out against the Food Workers’ Industrial Union. Comrades should not patronize such places. However, the union should not rely on this purely passive boycott on these restaurants, An active cam- paign should be carried on to win the workers for struggle to break the injunction. an SUGGESTIONS FOR SPREADING THE “D. W.” To the Editor: I have some ideas to help popular- ize and spread the Daily Worker, therefor I wish you would put some of these suggestions in print that the friends and readers of the Daily Worker would put these ideas in practice and thus triple the circula- tion of the Daily Worker within the next 3 months, Here are a list of suggestions: Wherever I get a Daily Worker I never throw it away, but keep it until I get into some chance conversation with some worker and then I ask him whether he ever heard or read the Daily Worker and if he says he never read it, I proceed to explain what it stands for and offer him a copy and suggest that he visit the Daily Worker center or join some sym- pathetic organization of the Com- munist movement. That personal contact makes the young man feel friendly to our cause, etc. ‘We can dispose of our old copies by placing them in pool halls, restaur- ants or lunch rooms. Barber shops, tailor stores, trains, etc. Better still come down to the Daily Worker center, 35 East 12th St., and get some old copies and distribute them once or twice a week at the above men- tioned places. Third, I always ask every news- dealer who I notice doesn’t handle the Daily Worker if he gets call for the Daily Worker and if he answers yes, I then suggest that he order 3 or 5 copies, and we will try to see that it is delivered to him, also assure him that the papers are returnable so that there is no risk involved. I then turn these names in to the Daily Worker volunteer office located on the 5th floor of the Workers Center. The Daily Worker volunteers are an interesting group of young men and women who meet every other Friday at their club rooms at the Workers Center. All are invited ene our meeting and join our club.

I am brother, a mother, no father, no other sister, and I am sorry to say I can’t go to school or to see my girl friends, or be at the youth meeting, because I have no clothes to wear, no shoes, na hat, and just have to sit here alone} by myself or with my mother, and oh, | how lonely I am. My brother can’t get work to do, and we can’t keep any food to ea and nothing, and the boss always threatens us that if they catch us at the union meeting they will kill us and tell us fair to our faces that they aren’t going to furnish us anything. Here is the way we do. We go on and meet in the union, and do all we can, because moth and I say if it had not been for the Sharecroppers Union, I don’t know, we might have been dead. And, too, I want to say just how I meet the youth. I try and do slip in the house before so many get in, but my clothes are exposed just the same. Oh, how bad I feel, and I miss school. The way the C. W. A. does, my | brother is given a little slip of paper pone they keep telling him to come | back the 28th or the llth of January, |and they will give him a job, and he has no clothes, no shoes, and no kind of winter coat, and nothing. Now he has exposed himself until he is full of cold and goes about sick on poor us, and no way to get a doctor, no food. Oh, how tough it is here on us. But Comrade Editor, I am going to still fight these damn bosses, and warm days are coming after a while, so I can meet the Y. C.L. I am doing all I can and will be on and on until I die. Because we, I and my other members, see that a sharecroppers union is much needed in the South.
