In 1920 the of New Haven at that who happened to be a rat, said that the only way to make this city prosper- ous was to inflate the property. So accordingly they raised the tax on every little home as high as 120 per cent.

I gradually became weaker as time went on and was informed by the doctor that if I did not take better care of myself in regard to my nourish- ment, which meant better tract tuberculosis, much underweight. I have been employed as painter by the C. W. A, earning | $13.44 per week—from which I had } to provide for my wife, my father, | mother and myself — so you can | readily see that my share for life's | necessities was very scant. Having listened to a pre-election pledge—made by our present Mayor | LaGuardia — that an open door would be forever maintained at his office or home, I therefore appealed to him via registered mail, in which I asked him if it was possible for him to secure an increase in my working days— to more than three days a week. I asked for no charity, but more working days. To my great amazement I never received an answer, though I still have the post office receipt show- | ing that he received the letter. I | wrote again—this time to Mrs. La- Guardia, asking her to inform me whether or not my letter was mis- laid at home, and again no answer. At present I am confined in bed at the U. S.

F. of L. and I. L. A. officials here in Mobile, there is still a strong sentiment for further strikes here, There are police patrolling the docks all day | long, to frighten the workers, and to keep them from consolidating the strike sentiment. After three months. of daily picketing, the waitresses. of the Metropolitan Cafe have lost their strike. We can take this cafe strike and get a pretty good idea of how the American workers are begin- ning to understand the necessity of struggling. About 25 to 30 white southern girls picketed the Metro- politan Cafe night and day, with placards, and pickets appealing to other workers to help them in the Finally Walter Schaffer, vice-president of the Alabama Fed- eration of Labor, with the help of the “Big Shot” Bakes of the restaurant local here sold them out.

C.—In North Carolina, as in other states, the Ne- gro misleaders support the rotten New Deal. They are the body- guards of the capitalists that op- press the poor white and Negro farmers. They cannot find words reat enough to praise Rockefeller, osenwald and other robbers who show their goodness by occasionally | returning a few cents from the mil- lions robbed of the poor white and Negro farmers in the form of a school. | Among these apologists of Ameri- | can imperialism we find many | Preachers and teachers. egarding Jim-Crowism and the | denial to the Nogro children of the | right to use the bus when going to school, they say, “That’s good, be- cause the busses may turn over and the children get killed.” They ignore the fact that many Negro children yearly get sick and 'die.from exposure and pneumonia | after walking miles through wet | and muddy roads to the schools, ill clad and in broken shoes. | The wages paid to the “hands” in | North Carolina, the state that, ac- cording to the Charlotte News, | N. C., June 16, “wants to inform the | world of its natural scenic and in- | dustrial virtues,” is 50 cents a day | on the plantation from sun up to | sun down. In a coal mine in Union County the wages are 75 cents a 10-hour day to Negro and white workers. | This, plus the promise of a raise | “when things get going” is known | jas the Roosevelt minimum. | Together with a sharp drop in wages we find a great rise in prices of overalls, fertilizer, fatback, etc. One Negro misleader, speaking to | a poor farmer, said: “Brother, the | Roosevelt program is evolutionary, | not revolutionary.” | The poor Negro farmer, whose overalls had been patched up many times, but is now in rags, answered, “You are right, brother, don’t you see I am half naked?” We Negro workers and farmers are convinced that only by uniting with the “poor white” workers and farmers under the leadership of the | Communist Party we can free our- | | Selves f:¢m the white exploiters and their black and white agents.

Editor, Daily Worker, Dear Comrade: I was very glad to read in today’s Daily Worker that Comrade Casey left the New York Times and joins the Daily Worker staff. The man- agement of our paper should utilize this in order to increase the circu- | lation of the Daily Worker, | When Comrade Casey will start to | write his articles, then about 100,000 leaflets should be printed and flood | the whole city. If possible, in other cities, too. Because the Times is very popular between all radicals. I assure you comrades if at least every Party member and sympa- thizer who reads the Times would read the Daily Worker, we would have a circulation of 100,000 in the city of New York. It is a shame that many Par‘y and Y. C, L. mem- bers are Times Communists, They gather all their information about the Communist movement from the Times and lately from the New York Post, too, and never read the Daily Worker. Coming back to the leafle‘s, when you will write them please write it as plain as possible that everybody should understand it. While the present circulation drive is on, we have to work for an eight-page “Daily.” In order to reach this, the management, with the help of the workers, should start a campaign for more adver- tisements in order to make the paper self-supporting. For an cight-page and better Daily Worker. Comradely yours, E. F. A REVOLUTIONARY RECRUIT- ING AGENT New York City.

Lock Negro Worker In _Cage for Ten Days In Arizona Transient Camp | | PHOENIX, Ariz.—A Negro work- er at the transient camp at the fairgrounds here was sentenced to | ten days on bread and water and placed in a locked improvised wire cage. The Negro had made a long- distance call on the telephone to some relatives in Houston, seeking help to get out of the camp. Not being able to pay for the telephone call on the 90-cent a week forced labor wages, he was locked in the cage. While incarcerated in the cage, the worker one night removed tho boards from the floor and escaped, but was recaptured. With the arrival of State Tran- sient Director Murphy, the cage was removed from view from the road. Pressure has resulted in the removal of Bushwell, the camp di- rector, and the Negro worker was | sent to his home in Houston.

Y.— Things are pretty slow on the farms, Now we are ready for market- ing. Our vegetables are already so low in price that much is not bringing more than we should by right receive for the time put in to make it ready. Farmers are going backwards slow but sure, and every season is bring- ing us a little closer to destruc- tion. Cabbage is now bringing $1.50 to 1.25 a barrel, where in 30 to 35 head brought in common years from $3 to $5 average price. Beets are just starting and are already sold for 2% cents a bunch, average price in other years being four to six cents for the first crop. There is also less land in cul- ture as there used to be. $14 For 60-Hour Week on Dairy In Bridgeport Forced to Sign Away Compensation Rights (By an Agricultura! Laborer Corresnondent) BRIDGEPORT, Conn.—TI gradu- ated from the National Farm School in 1930, and after having several jobs on farms for as low as $10 a month, I found myself unem- | ployed. Three weeks ago I got a job in a local dairy. When I got the job the boss said he was going to pay me N.R.A. wages. This means that I was to get $14 a week for working as sampler and weigher for milk. ‘The work starts at 8 a.m. and we get through at all hours. We are not given any time off for lunch. We have to eat while working. The other day the boss, through scme technicality, forced me to sign away my compensation rights. I did not want to sign this, but he told me I would either sign or lose my job. I told the compensation commissioner that I was being forced to sign this waiver or lose my job and she laughed. This in the Socialist City of Bridgeport. Last week the boss bought all of us overalls with the name of the dairy on them. He took as much as $6 out of the pay cf the workers. The average wage for over 60 hours a week is $14. The boss comes up on the plat- form where I dump and weight the milk and when he sees that I am giving the farmers correct weight on the milk he sends the foreman up to take down the weighis, The foreman deducts as much as 6 to 10 pounds from every farmer. Dur- ing the month this amounts to a lot of milk. The farmers as well as the workers are getting a real raw deal in this case. 15-Hour Day fer $5 A Week on Job At Upstate Resort, (By a Worker Correspondent) BAYONNE, N. J. — I got a job near Monticello a few weeks ago in a summer resort well known for the celebrities that arrive there weckly. I started work the same day that I received the job and it wasn’t until a few days later that I was told the hours I would have to work and the pay I was to get. The place is situated in White Lake, N. Y., eight miles from Monticello. They exploited the workers so much there and for so little pay that I quit the job without getting my weeks pay that I rightly de- served. They made me work from 9 in the morning until 3 a. m. the next day for $5 a week. They made me sleep in a room with four other boys (who inciden- tally quit also) in a bed without any sheet and filthy mattresses that hadn’t been cleaned for years. We ate what was left over, which wasn't any too good. And they tell the paying guests that we are get- ting the best of eats and all other things plus a big salary. P. S. — I am now home and still out of work largely due to the fact that there are no jobs to be had, and yet they tell us that times are getting better.

HERMAN The District Convention of the Ccmmunist Party of Ohio, held on March 31, adopted the following control task to be carried through by Aug. 1 in the building up of the Wye tak “8, In line with the control task on Party recruiting, we must achieve the building up of the Y¥.C.L. to 500 members in this dis- trict by Aug. 1. We must aim to earry through in daily practice | the building of a Y.C.L. saop nu- cleus wherever there is a Party nucleus. Within four months, we are to definiteiy organize func- tioning shop units of the Y.C.L. at Otis Steel, Fisher Body, Re- public Steel (Youngstown). A start towards developing youth work in the unions shall be be- gun, in steel. Special efforts shall be made to build up the Y.C.L. in the Scovill section, the Party as- signing definite responsibility to see that this is carried out.” The various section conventions held prior to the district convention had also adcvted Control Tasks on the Y.C.L. The Youngstown section declared it would build a Y.C.L. shop unit in Republic Steel (that during the period of June 10 to July 10, it would recruit two youths from the Republic); to build a Y.C.L. unit in Farrell and strengthen the unit in Warren; recruit 10 youths for ‘the S.M.W.1.U.; to recruit five members for Y.C.L. in Youngstown; to see that youth branches are built up among the Croatians and Ital- jians. Section 1 decided to carry out by Aug. 1, the building up of a ¥.C.L. shop unit at Otis Steel; and organize League units in Brooklyn and Seiticment. Section 2, to car- ry out by Aug. 1, the building of at least three more Y.C.L. units; see that each Y.C.L. unit has a Party rep; to organize Y.C.L. shop units at Graphite Bronze and Fisher Body; to help popularize the Young All other sections adcpted similar Control Tasks. Now let us ask, what has been done? (1) Instead of 500 members, the Y.C.L, at present has; aronnd 200 members in the district. (2) In- stead of a Y.C.L. shop unit wherever there is a Party shop unit (the Party at present has 26 shop nu- clei), we have Y¥.C.L, shop units only at Fisher Body and McKinney Steel, and a practically non-existent unit at Otis. We have no shop unit at Republic Steel. (3) While the Control Tasks called for mak- Worker; to concentrate on at least | two bourgeoise youth organizations. , Jing a start in youth work in Steel, extremely little has been done in this connection. Our Party com- rates in the S.M.W.LU., working at the various steel mills, have not seen fit for the most part to raise |the special demands of the youth ! or recruit youth for the union. Let us here examine how the Control Tasks of the Youngstown Party section have been carried out? (1) No shop unit of Y.C.L. es- tablished at Republic Steel. No Re- public youth recruited for the Y.C.L. during month of June when the task called for recruiting at least two. (2) Although we under- stand that efforts are being made to build a Y.C.L. unit in Farrell, never- theless, this Control Task ended July 10 unfulfilled. (3) The strength- ening of the unit in Warren has not been carried through. (4) From what we know, 10 youths were not recruited for the S.M.W.LU. up till July 10. (5) Five members were not recruited for the Y.C.L. in Youngs- town. (6) We haven't heard «much abou’ the efforts to build youth branches among the Croa Italians, so we won't deal wi here. | In view of the fact that there are |only two mére weeks before the Control Tasks expire, we must raise very alarmingly the fact that there is considerable neglect in the building up of the Y.C.L. While it is true that our Y.C.L.. comrades, and particularly, its leadership, has shown many serious weaknesses, nevertheless, this can in no way act as an excuse for the failure of Party sections to carry through the Control Tasks that they themselves have set. We would greatly appreciate hearing from the sections dealt with in this article. I'd suggest that the section organizers in these sec tions write to the “Party Life” col- umn, explaining WHY their Con- trol Tasks on the Y.C.L. have not been fulfilled in the main.

Please send me more informa- tion on the Communist Party Name Street ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS Derby Hats and Baldness Jim O'C., Flint, Mich—There is no scientific basis to the no‘ion that hard-brimmed hats cause baldness. Theoretically, it is possible that the hard brim should interfere with the circulation in the scalp and thus prevent the proper nutrition of the hair follicles; but no scientist has even studied a large group of men wearing derbies to another control group using fedoras. As a matter of fact, the Romans, who wore no hats at all, were known for their baldness.
