Now, the Wednesday before last, they told us at the relief office that from then on we will get rations every other Wednesday, which means that the rations were cut in half. Last Wednesday, I went to the relief office anyway and it turned out to be only too true. There were other ex-servicemen there too, and all of us went home empty-handed. Now, there is a rumor that the cash relief will be cut by 20 per cent. | SHARECROPPERS STRUGGLING | FOR RIGHTS | CAMP HILL, Ala—I am a poor farmers wife and have been on} the farm all life, and for the} vast three years that the crisis has become deepe: and deeper, my family can herdly live at all I getting ragged, and we have nothing breaking Wall Street. Letters from New York. Daily Worker: | Ive read Wj pleasure of your | plan to expose all strikebreakers as you have done of Max Sherwood. I am sending you some information of one I know very well. His name is Eddie Gatti. In 1916 he served a term in El- mira for grand larceny. All to- gether he has been arrested about 20 times. In 1921 he was held for “Lemon's” murder in Albany. He was acquitted. Arrested in Toledo in 1920 during the strike of the To- Jedo Tool and Machine Company, for carrying a gun, he skipped bail. In 1923, during the Schenectady railroad strike, he was arrested for shooting a striker and was never brought to trial. Was arrested in 1927 for carrying a gun on Staten Island and although he has been convicted of three felonies, he was given a suspended sentence. He was summoned before Seabury during the city investigation but would not talk of how he received suspended | sentence. | In 1929 during the Tompkins Bus | Corporation strike in Staten Island, he injured a number of strikers, one of whom died a year later as a result. The police looked for him for a while and then stopped. In 1929 also, arrested for burglary, sen- tenced to New York Penitentiary. In 1932 arrested for felonious as- sault on S.

You can verify all this from po- lice records if you wish.

A worker who is not consciously radical and working for emancipa- tion will listen to the first radical words that any fascist or reform- ist} may offer. This was clearly brought out on Sunday, March 25, at the C. W. A. meeting at the Madison Square Garden when a number of workers gave the fascist salute. This shows how immediate the sharp turn of the party is nec- essary for exposing and showing the correct line for struggle to all workers who are misled. As an im- mediate step I suggest to the Daily Worker that anti-fascist slogans appear daily in the front page at the right and left hand corners ex- plaining the meaning of fascism. Frequent articles should be writ- ten clearly, exposing and clarifying simply so that all workers might read what fascism is and how to fight it. The Daily Worker might also get in touch with all other revolution- ary newspapers and magazines to make a concentrated drive to in- tensify their fight in exposing and clearing up to the minds of all workers and intellectuals the deadly venom of fascism.

Iron and copper, as well as liver and spleen extracts, are considered to be hema- topoietic substances; but they do not always act as such in all in- dividuals. These substances must be absorbed into the blood. before they can stimulate the production of red blood cells.
