Breaks Into New Territory, By a Farmer Correspondent EVERETT, Wash—Three weeks ago the United Farmers’ Leacue held its first meeting in Sisco Heights. This was new territory for a militant | organization. At the first meeting P. J. Cantwell, | the county organizer of the A. F. of} L., exvlained the National Conference | and the State Conference of Parmers | alone with the role of the U. F. L. in this locality. There were 16 who} applied for membership at this meet- | ing. Since then two more meetings have | been held, and the membership has} increased to 40. Some time ago this was strictly Grange territory, but since then the farmers have lost interest in this organization, because they found out that the Grange has done nothing | for the farmer to helo him out of |} this crisis. After the U. F. L. came in and organized, some of the old re- | actionary Grange members sent efter the Grange organizer and tried to revive the Grange. This attempt ended in total failure and this com- | munity is now solidly organized on| | the one and only farm orzanization. The membership of this local is very enthusiastic and the youth of the locality is coming in ranidlv to| fall in line with this program, The membershi» at the last meeting voted unanimonsly to go in a body to the county C. W. A. setup and demand what has hapvpened to funds that were appropriated for a road in their locality which would be a benefit to the lorality and also heln extend the} time of the C. W. A. in that territory. Tonivht, Feb. 8, the county organ- | izer is breaking into new territory by | | holding a meeting in the act Sunny- | side Hall, to bring forth the pro- gram and role of the United Farm- ers’ League. There are six more meetings scheduled in this county, namely, White Horse Grange Hall, Maltby, Kellog Marsh, Darrington, Jordan, Granite Falls, and there are more apovlications for meetings com- ine in every day. The county organizer handles most of these meetings himself and has to do his work on foot.

The fact that the United Farmers League is setting hundreds of members around there, since the Warsaw foreclosure fight, may have something to do with it. Roy Harter, Wakarusa, is State Secretary of the United Farmers League. He has issued leaflets, wide- ly read, urging farmers to fight fore- closures, and attacking American Le- gion leaders who tried unsuccessfully to get the rank and file to resist the farmers, The red scare has been raised, but the farmers don’t give two hoots. This is interesting, since they are all na- tive American, staunch Democrats and were among the most backward in a state noted for its backward farmers. They go right ahead by the hun- dreds joining the United Farmers League. The trials come up Feb. 14. There’s going to be a mass foreclosure on Feb. 13. This will be a crucial test of the U.F.L., as many farms will be sold on this day and undoubtedly a small army of state police, deputies, etc., will be there to see that it goes through. “Come Back Later,” _C.W.A. Heads Tell Sharecroppers | (By a Share-Cropper Correspondent) DADEVILLE, Ala—We know if you see our condition, you would feel in sympathy with us. There are men working on the C.W.A. jobs that don’t need the work, and the ones that need it can’t get the work. When | they go up there to ask for a job, the bosses tell them to come back two ‘weeks later. When those two weeks are out, they go back again, and they will keep on fooling the poor class of people, and won't put them on. And it has been like that ever since the RFC, N.R.A. and ieee C.W.A. began. Mass Layoffs In Last Few Weeks in Tampa By a Tobacco Worker Correspondent TAMPA, Fla—The cigar industry here is shot to pieces. The factories have as yet to resume “normal” | operations this year. The C.W.A. workers here who are 1 lucky enough not to have been fired. had not collected for their week's work a 4 p. m. Saturday. The |last few weeks have witnessed mass lay-offs. Thousands have lost even the miserable $9 a week throughout the whole state during the past sev- eral weeks. In. striking contrast to the alleged lack of funds for paying starving workers and their families, I noticed esterday, while passing by the 116th Field Artillery arena, that the store- ‘ouses of army equipment had been freshly painted, and I was surprised how splendidly kept up the whole row of buildings and grounds was. I have just gone out with the comrade who delivers the papers, and have collected $3.25, which we en- close.

By a Worker Correspondent CROWN POINT, La.—The Stein- berg brothers of the Steinberg é& Co., fur merchants, own large tracts of land in Jefferson parish of Louisiana. These Steinbergs have an office in New Orleans, and other offices in New York Clty and Chicago. The trappers are obliged to pay 35 per cent of the sale price of their furs to the Steinbergs. State Senator Jules Fisher, repre- senting Jefferson parish and nearby parishes, is in the racket with the Steinbergs, Also Senator Fisher is a very intimate friend of Senator Huey P. Long. Under the N.R.A., the Louisiana trappers must pay 25 cents of every dollar from their sales of furs to the government. The trapping license used to be $2 a year. The Steinbergs have an injunction on only a few of their many acres in order to keep the trappers off those lands. But in these hard times the trappers sometimes risk heavy penaities and trap furs on the land controlled by the Steinbergs. When the trapper is haled into court, ne! 2 Work Progresses Among Fishermen in Oregon Area (By a Fisherman Worker Correspondent) NORTH BEND, Ore—The work among the fishermen is progressing well, as we have a local of 40 mem- bers and will soon have another local in this territory. Interest in the “Worker” is increasing’ fast.; The “Voice of Action” is our best seller now, we in the fishermen’s unit are going to work on the Saturday edi- tion, and push it here. Some results should show in the near future. The Unemployed Council in North Bend is just starting out on a re- organized plan, so results should show up there soon. An intensive recruiting drive will be carried on for the Party now as Comrade Ramp just finished a Lenin Memorial talk where the face of the Party was well brought out and some new members taken. I feel that every speaker should be an oppor- tunity to get new members in the Party. The comrades must approach all new contacts and invite them to join. A workers Center will be set up in Marshfield soon, and a systematic method of literature and Daily Worker distribution started. A C.W.A. Workers Protective Asso- ciation will be started in Marshfield soon. Citrus Workers Cheated by Boss With Promises By a Worker Correspondent TAMPA, Fla.—The citrus workers employed in a large plant here went cut on strike two days ago, demand- ing a one-half cent increase in wages. The strike was immediately “set- tled” by the bosses who promised that the demands of the girl workers would be met. But their first act was to fire the most militant workers, once the strike had been called off. With demagogic promises they lured the workers back into the plant, making them believe that they had won a victory. When the girls realized that they had been tricked. they renewed the agitation for another walk-out, based on the demands that the militant workers who were fired be reinstated. The bosses refused to take back the fired workers, and called on the po- lice to intimidate the employed work- ers and prevent them from demon- strating their solidarity with those who Were fired. This is another ex- ample showing that the workers can- not depend on the promises of the bosses when settling strikes. of conscious leadership was responsi- ble for this error, but it has taught the citrus workers how empty are the bosses’ promises. The Party did not participate suf- ficiently in this strike, but it has con- tacts with the employed workers and §s forging the solidarity which will bring the citrus workers their de- mands for higher wages and the re- instatement of the discharged work- ers, LOUISIANNA FUR TRAPPERS VICTIMS OF POLITICIANS AND A.F.L. LEADERS is punished to the full extent, whether or not he caught the animals on.the land actually under the in- junction. Senator Fisher now has control of, the land formerly in the hands of Mr. Brady, another politician who cheated the trap.ers for a long time. Joe Fisher, nephew of the Senator, is the ward leader in Jefferson par- ish and likewise is in the ring against the trappers. He sells the shells gathered from tie lake bed to the government at $2 a cubic yard, though the government already owns the- shells. Racketeer Breaks Into Union Nine or ten years ago Joe Fisher broke up the first union among the trappers. Before the Fishers inter- fered with the fur industry, the trapping lands were free to the trap- pers.. Brady and Joe Fisher grafted as much of the land as was possible into their own control. The first union was broken up by the younger Fisher, who coaxed the trappers to vote out of office Clem Parand, who was running the union very honestly. Joo Fisher thus got Parand’s place f publishea 3 aoe 1B BOUTS my Ee —--—— in the union and Fisher at once charged the trappers $25 each to re- join the union under his manage- ment. Weber and Fleming are two other misleaders of t= ‘rappers. Since thesz iiticians have taken over the fur lands, the rent has been higher than the possible income of the trappers, and thus at least 90 per cent of the victims of the bosses are in ever-increasing debt. Late in 1933, about the time that the C.W.A. came into effect, the A. F. of L. stepped in and made condi- tions worse. About 500 of the 900 trappers near Crown Point, La., joined the A. F. of L. trappers union, but very few of the men ever received membership books. Of course, the A. F. of L. was regular in collecting dues, until the trappers realized the thing was a fake. The initiation fees charged by the A. F. of L. amounted to $2.50. Several leaders of the A. F. of L. were caught and argested, but only three of them had to pay a fine. Jules Fisher and the other misleaders helped to free those thieves, Lack f “C.W.A. Gives No | Food to Eat Or Work to Do” (By a Share Cropper Correspondent) CAMP HILL, Ala.—We, the mem- | bers of the Sharecroppers Union, are not well pleased with the R.F.C. and | the C.W.A.‘ The bosses that rule the R.FC. are not dealing fair when they signed up some of the unemployed, then put them to work later on in} the year. My husband signed up and got his card. He drew one check amounting up to $9.60. They cut him off and many others. In Nov er the work of the C.W.A. came on. A good many of the unemployed men are signing up and are still signing every two weeks. The bosses were put to work first, then some of the share- eroppers and tenants were put to work. The others are still going every two weeks, signing up. It is thousands and thousands of peopie that are unemployed now. The sharecroppers and tenants in the black belt are crying for work to do +nd to get food to eat and clothes to9 wear.

A Debate With a Farmer-Laborite (By a Farmer Corresnondent) OKLEE, Minn—On Feb. 2, when the Garves Farmers Club of Plummer. held its annual meeting, they also had a debate between Mr. Alabo and Ed. C. Baumann on the question. Resolved that the Farmer Labor Party is a party of capitalism. Mr. Alabo is the editor of one of the leading sheets of the Farmer Labor Party of this territory. Ed. C. Bau-| mann is known thre ut “Poe Section as leader and fighter ios the toiling farmers, and as a Com- munist. The meeting was held in one of the rural schools clcse here, and close to 250 fe~mers crowded every inch of space in the building. All we have to do is use our “legis- lative action,” Mr. Alabo maintained. There is no necessity for the workers and farmers to come out on the street and demand the rizht to live only to be met by an armed force, the militia! or the police, he said.” When an- swering comrade Baumann’s state- ment that the chief spokesman o the Farmer Party, Governor Olsor had come out in the beginning tc help “put over” the N. R. A,, he ad- mitted that he said Olson had.“in the beginning thought it wou'd turn ou to be all right. When he later saw it was not all right he as an intelligen man, resigned.” The Communist Party did not think for one second that the N. R. A. was) @ way out of the crisis. It was the) Communist Party who from the v-rv first minute began exposing the N. R. A, and pointing out to the workers what the N. R. A. would lead to, Instead of giving the militant work- ers of the Hormel Packing Plant the credit for winning their strike last fall in Austin, Minn. Mr. Alabo didn’t mention a word but instead pointed out that the arbitration board con- sisted of all Farmer-Laborites and “gave them their demands.” Regarding unemployment Mr. Alabo had nothing to offer. Regarding the fact brought out by comrade Bau- mann that the Farmer Labor ad- thinistration had net done anything to relieve the distress and the misery of the unemployed other than raise finances that came out of workers and farmers and not out of the swollen profits of the big mining corporations and other monied interests, Mr. Alabo answered that it was because of their not having, the majority in the legis- lature. He did not attempt to an- swer comrade Baumann when the latter pointed out that one of the representatives in the State legisla- ture from this District, a Farmer- Laborite, had voted for the bill ap- PARTY LIFE Examine in Detail Wor ork in oncentration Sections, and Take.

If the general sentiment of the workers and the farmers present at the meeting means anything, them we can say that the Farmer-Labor Party has no place among the des- titute workers and farmers in lead- ing them out of the crisis. The meeting undeniably pointed out to the rank and file of the Farmer-Labor Party, that the only way out of the crisis is through militant struggles, through the unity of the workers and farmers.

Of course, there. | are medical specialists in Soviet Rus- sia, As a matter of fact, some of the bourgéois critics are “afraid” that there is too much specialism because the medical student chooses his “spee cialty” while still an undergraduate, But this is not true. The misun- “derstanding comes from the fact that Minstead of one kind of medical cole jlege where all the specialties are | taught, as in the United States, the 5), Russian medical schools are now die Yided into four types or faculties. ‘The first faculty concerns itself with the cure and prevention of disease; the second teaches Lcbicnes 4 and obstetrics (women’s diseases and confinements) and pediatrics (chile dren’s diseases). The third deals with sanitation, food, industry, factories and sanitaria. Finally, there is a separate faculty for physice therapy and mechanotherapy where the various electric and mechanical means of curing are taught. If you intend to study in Ri you'll have to decide for which these four main medical branches you have the most aptitude and ape ply for admission to the respective faculty.
