I should like to add a few more vords on how necessary it is for the vorkers of all nations to fight the vil I see now prevailing in the United States. Perhaps 16 million workers are entirely out of employ- ment. At least 25 millions have their vitality lowered and efficiency diminished. Our hopes dimmed, our outlook on life embittered—and yet all the suffering was not caused by a shotrage of crops or any in- ability to produce goods. Quite the contrary; people are living in crowded quarters or are even homeless while in the same community apartments and houses are becoming vacant in increasing numbers. People went hungry — while but a few miles away food stuff and other commodities rotted which could have been distributed among the starving peopple. COMRADE PHILIPS.

Jobs Discard to Provide Work By a Farmer Correspondent KENT CITY, Mich—Just got through reading an article of a sharecropper in Dadeville, Ala., in the Daily Worker of March 29. I spent more than a year in dear old Dixie and could write a pam- phlet on the hardships of the Ne- groes down there, This is considered a fertile farm- ing country where I live. The ground under the apple trees is still covered with apples. The fruit isn’t as good as it was in better times, because the farmers can’t af- ford to buy spraying material, which is extremely costly, being controlled by a few manufacturers. In spite of this being a rich farm- ing country the farmers are getting poorer than church mice. The C. W. A. project has been a joke and the talk of the town and the countryside. They went to work building a disposal plant and laying a sewer with picks, shovels, All Modern Inventions at $7.50 a Week our little check of $7.50, Of course, the paymaster gets mileage. I’m almost sure it’s 10 cents a mile and the more uncertain the pay day is the more trips to pay off, the more mileage. We had five Communist votes here for Foster and Ford and 15 for Norman Thomas, but this fall we will get 25 Communist Party yotes easy; all Socialist Party voters are lining up fast to the Communist Party. We have a dandy farm organizer here in Michigan. He had a full hall March 20 at Kent City. My little boy, eight years old, sold ten copies of the Farmers’ Weekly here in two hours. March 29, all C. W. A. workers were laid off except those that were formerly on relief, and they were told not to apply for work or to the Welfare—that a new set-up was to be formed. Since the beginning of the C.W.A. here we have been asked to fill up for the cotton to be plowed up, | whether the cropper wants it plowed | up or not, and the cropper doesn’t know any- NOTE.—This attack on the poor farmers is being staged according to a law passed by the Congress that represents the bosses and the rich farmers, and is therefore vate property of the rich land- owners. The only protection for the small farmers is to organize and defend their property against such laws. New Questionaire For All Jobless the C.W.A. work here is stopped. All the jobless here now have to register again and sign a big ques- tionnaire from 100 years back. They know ail about me, where I live and all, but still we have to do this. Here is what the churches are doing in Ft. Pierce. They have signs up aH over town, on the store windows, saying “Go tp church Sun- day—the churches of Fort Pierce in- vite you.” They are so afraid that the workers will learn what the church really is—to keep them dumb in slavery. They are now going to start some kind of forced labor here. I have to camp in the woods, for eight years now, to try and raise something. I work a while and then I starve a while again. Oranges and grapefruit aren’t bringing no price. One farmer here had sev- eral acres of tangerines and he clipped them all off the trees and let them rot—cheaper than to ship them.

A., chilly evening we commanded a fairly good-sized crowd, who listened very attentively to our discussion of the imminence of imperialist war, of the ruthless driving down of our living standards by the agents of Wall Street in governmental seats. Having had a sufficient array of speakers we opened up another open air meeting two blocks away and isfactory number of listeners. After the adjournment of the meeting two of our comrades went into the nearby cafeteria for coffee. We sat down at a table at which three young men were discussing problems that were touched upon by our speakers. One of these had before him a number of pamphlets which he had bought from our liter- ature agent at the street meeting. that one was also attended by a sat- |, (He spent 28 cents on Communist The Doctor Takes a Bow If we were to print a tenth of the laudatory letters that we get from our admirers, we should need By PAUL LUTTINGER, MLD.

Because of this, the | leaders, headed by William Wilson, | “boss” of the Amesbury local, and Socialist candidate for Sclectman, tried to oust many of them. In this they were unsuccessful. They did, however, force one militant | Worker to resign, after he was | beaten up by a couple or more | “comrades.” When a worker in the Amesbury local talks in a revolu- him. When he was employed in a local foundry he was a pace- maker. He even used to work noon-times. It is even rumored, (and there is plenty of evidence for the rumor), that he was fined $25 by a union for working overtime in Newburyport, Mass. Wilson, de- spite his anti-working class reputa- tion, claims to have been in the labor movement 35 years. He now hopes to be elected to the office of Selectman where he will be al- lowed to serve his masters for $400 @ year. Indeed, Wilson does not want much salary to do the bidding of the bosses. At one time when a study class was being held in the Amesbury local led by a revolution- ary worker, Wilson tried in every way to sabotage it. He even had a young worker who was under his influence, try to disrupt it—and he had succeeded. This illustrates how the social-fascists try to keep the workers in ignorance. However, the Socialist Party of Amesbury is fast breaking up. e N. elevator operators, the household servants,—all are expected to be fresh-cheeked and rosy, “well- ” and smiling, a pleasure to behold! That so many do suc- ceed, in spite of the most adverse conditions, is eloquent testimony to their stamina. ‘The job of preserving good looks requires optimism in working women, but nobody has a better right to them, so with what means and time at our disposal, we'll do our best. (To Be Continued.) Correction. In our description of the book “Our Lenin,” for children, we gave the name of one of the co-authors as “Ruth Siegel.” This should have been Ruth Shaw, who put a lot of work into the making of this volume. (We carelessly re- peated the name of the artist illus- trator, William Siegel.) We had offered a copy of this book to the mother who would have sent the most yearly Daily Worker subscrip- cure many yearly subs is too diffi- cult, so accordingly extend the of- fer until May First and ask for six: month subs instead of yearly. (Send subs to the “Daily” in care of the “Home” column.) Many of the workers on the C. W. A. here were farmers. Several of the bosses were well-to-do farmers, in fact all the higher paid jobs like tile- | laying, etc., were done by those in good circumstances. Some drove in as far as 50 miles to get in five hours work. At one time in February they came three days in succession, these 56 miles, were laid off instead. One ques- tion had space to fill in as to our skill, and we were told we would be given jobs at our trades later. I guess it will be later—much later. They want the dope on the un- employed so they can force us to serve in the coming war for those bloodsuckers. To hell with their wars, high prices, unemployment, Workers Who Complain Voice in Truckdrivers’ Local to Official of LL.G.W.U. Affiliate About Conditions Are Fired (By a Needle Trades Truckdriver) NEW YOOR.—You probably knew that recently a new local was added to the International Ladies Garment Workers Union, Local 102, consist- ing of truck drivers and helpers for the needle trades. About a year ago, Saul Metz, member of the Socialist Party and member of our local, put a proposi- tion before the boss truckmen, that if the workers were organized into a union affiliated to the I. L. G. W. U., he, Metz, would see that every manufacturer whose workers were I, L. G. W. U. members and who previously didn’t employ a truckman would give all their pack- ages to the union truckmen. The result was that the bosses ac- cepted, and many of them gave their workers a dollar and told them to join the union. This was the manner in which the local was cre- ated. Naturally, when the dress and coat manufacturers were told that they would have to employ a truck- man, and that they no longer could have their packages and dresses de- livered by errand boys and shipping boys they refused. Those who for- merly employed a truckman refused to pay the price. Mr. Metz called the drivers and helpers out on strike. The men were told that this strike was in order to get the wages and hours. A Militant Strike That strike was one of the most militant I have ever seen. The fel- lows were fighting for a deecnt liv- ing. Nobody could get through the streets either with dresses or coats. The manufacturers got panicky and in_a week the strike was over. The bosses got their new custom- ers and higher prices. Mr. Metz had promised us $35 for drivers and to get $35, first helpers $23, and $18 for second helpers (the bosses decided who were first and who were second helpers). Some workers really did get the scale, during the busy season. Then business got slow and the bosses began cutting wages and made the fellows work more than nine hours a day. Some of the more courageous fellows complained to the union. The boss immediately knew which ones complained, and later found some reason to fire them. This kept the rest of the fellows from registering complaints. Grievances The following are some of the grievances we have against Mr. Metz: 1. Dues raised almost 100 per cent and official salaries raised (in- cluding his own to $75) without the consent of the membership. 2. No membership meeting for over six months despite the fact that the I. L. G. W. U. constitution calls for monthly membership meet- ings. 3. He ignored the decisions of the election objection committee as to the manner of running the elec- tion. 4. He alone signed the agree- ment with the bosses, there was no rank and file representation, nor was any elected officer there to represent us. 5. Men taken off their job for attending a meeting of a Social and Sports Club organized by members of the union, despite the fact that Mr. Metz himself for years was one of the leaders of the Mutual Aid Club of Local 1 of the I. L. G. W. U. 6. No financial report either to the membership or to the Executive a since the union was organ- 7. For the first six or eight months he alone signed the checks of the union. 8. There has been no attempt made at teaching the men what their duties, rights and privileges as union men were, so that they not getting union conditions because of this),. 9. Though the men work full time for only three or four months per year and the rest part time, Mr. Metz insists on getting dues, whether we are working or not, and Day demonstration in this Ku Klux Klan town. We also have a unit here of 15 members, who are trying to learn to furnish leadership to the above organization. Yours for the over- throw of capitalism.

I don't want to stop school. I am trying to make the sixth grade by May. I am going to patch my dress Monday morning and iron it and go to school clean. I hate to wear it to town but it is the very best that I can do. My shoes are bad but I can shine them with a little soot and grease, and I am trying to keep them until school closes. N.R.A. TO COST 15,500 HOLLY- WOOD EXTRAS THEIR JOBS HOLLYWOOD, (F.P.)—Some 15,- 500 extras will lose the chance of making a living in Hollywood when plans of the producers are finally approved by the Motion Picture Code Authority. The Code Committee for Extras, an N.R.A. set-up, has decided that the list of 17,000 extras shall be re- duced to approximately 1,500. By educating the workers’ party, Marxism educates the vanguard of the proletariat, thus fitting it to seize power and to lead the whole people towards socialism, to carry on and to organize the new order, to become the teacher, the guide, the leader of all who labor and are exploited—their teacher, guide and leader in the work of organizing their social life without the bourgeoisie and against the bourgeoisie.—Lenin. many men were threatened with the loss of their jobs unless their dues wre paid up. 10. Men have been taken off the jobs without a trial of any kind. I hope that Socialist Party mem- bers will read this. It is another example of the treachery of their leaders.
