I am a small farmer with only six cows. Like many in the same fix I haven't enough hay on my own land (beware of the “my” because the state is after me for taxes, the insurance company for insurance, and the bank for mortgages) to carry the cows through the winter. The hay land we have to rent is owned by insurance companies, banks, loan companies, etc. I used to rent hay stumpage from the Murray Land Office in Wadina LETTERS FROM OUR READE ees BUILD ANTI-WAR COMMITTEES IN SHOPS So, Bend, Ind, It certainly seems to me that as ® Party organ the Daily Worker should have started the August Ist eampaign in the paper at least five or six weeks before it did, and to give us some hints as to the slogans August ist was to be called under. Af least you could have advertised the August Ist issue every day and called on all organizations to order it and spread it and to show how that would help fight the war danger. The way you have handled August Ist, there would seem to be no war danger. Why was there not a single ar- ticle explaining to the Daily’s read- ers the importance of August Ist. for $5 to $7 for many years. Now T learn from the court that Murray never did have title to the land but simply laid claim on it and made us pay. Now the G. M. Gustafson Co. (mortgages, insurances) of Minne- apolis claims to have the title to the land. They come to me telling me how scarce hay is and offering me, in their estimation, a very good bargain—a $5 piece of hay stumpage for the small sum of only $20 to be paid at the First Nat'l Bank for Minahga. Imagine that. Four times as much, They are doing that every- where. I can't rent hay this year at such figures, and neither can the rest of us. are wilting away Boy oh boy, but won’t we have to ganize for this winter. I know the Minneapolis Journal won't print this letter, so I’m send- ing it to you. or I am quite sure we would have more August Ist meetings. Did you ever try explaining to the workers how and why they must build anti- war committees in the factories, or do you take it for granted that everyone who reads the Daily is in touch with a Party organization and knows all about it? In this city there are quite a few readers of the Party press who are at present isolated from the Party, but work in very important shops. The Daily, it seems to me, is for- getting all about the struggle against war, Fraternally, be IN THE By HELEN HOME LUKE Domestic Workers’ Union Organizing in Bronx Domestic workers in New York,— driven desperate by hiring methods of employment agencies, which take substantial amounts of what meagze Wages the workers may get on jobs (often very brief jobs) secured through agencies, — have developed the practise of assembling on cer- tain corners, standing thee and waiting for women seeking house- workers to come and bargain with them. A sort of 1934 model open- air slave-market; but while the slaves used to go to the highest bidder, now the jobs go to the lowest bidder. The Domestic Workers’ Union is getting busy in territory in the Bronx where this practise exists. A new union headquarters, that of the fifth local, has been established at 1548 Westchester Avenue, over the Ward theatre; and Mary Ford writes us: “We are going to have an open-air meeting on Thursday, August 2, at the corner of Elder and Westchester Avenues, at 11 a.m. We are trying to organize the women who go up in that section and stand on the corners looking for work. “If anyone wants further infor- mation about what we're trying to do up there, he can get in touch With Clinton Jackson at the West- chester Workers’ Club, 1548 West- chester Ave.” We suggest that any comrades of that neighborhood who read these lines try to get this issue of the “Daily” into the hands of the do- mestic workers thereabouts, em- Ployed or unemployed, whom the Union is aiming to organize. We also hope that all women of the neighborhood who read this and can spare the time, will go and support the open-air meeting, and that any good speakers who know something of the conditions and struggles of the domestic workers, do not hesitate to go up on the plat- form and speak up for unionziation. The Union fights for 50 cents hourly for day work, $20 weekly for full time, To Help Reach the Working Women Here is a chance to secure free some literature useful in trying to interest working class women in struggle in behalf of their class. “There is a large number of the May issue of the Working Woman Magazine on hand at the office of the magazine, also limited numbers of othe> back issues; and these the editors have decided to give out for distribution wherever it will do the} most good. Comrades who could use these to interest individual contacts or to use at meetings, etc., should write to the editors explaining how they wish to use the magazine, and one or two copies will be given f-ee. One copy to those who want it just for themselves. Only postage to cover mailing (second-class rates) must be enclosed. Organizations who want more than the one or two copies might; be able to get more by accounting for the proposed use of them. We urge that all city gals send a copy to the cousins down on the fa:m. And there's no objection to radical farm gals doing ditto for their city cousins who are still under the ether of the boss-class press! (Working ‘Woman Magazine, Box 87, Sta. D, New York City.)

After we got to camp he tried to keep all the workers on the job except me. He had the sheriff get me out before the rest of the workers came back, because there wouldn't have been any cherry pickers the next day. I esked the sheriff to give the boys and me a slip showing that we were not tramps and that we were just hitch-hiking to get home.

MEMBERS | By a Worker Correspondent | ALLENTOWN, Pa—On Friday, | July 20, the members of the Un- | employed Leagues in Lehigh County had once again a bitter experience vith the leadership of the organiza- tion, Instead of developing the struggle, instead of raising concrete demands such as the payment of cash relief, these American Workers’ Party leaders raised as the major demand | the resignation of Mr. Kelsey, re- lief administrator of Lehigh, North Hampten and Carbon Counties. A petition to that effect was circu- lated in the leagues, and no other demand was included in that peti- tion. The response of the mem- bers was nturally apathetic. These leaders decided then to stage a demons:ration in front of Kelsey’s office in Bethlehem, again raising the only demand of Kelsey's resignation. | On the night before the demon- stration—Thursdey, the 19th—while all the leagues had special meetings to prepare for the following morn- ing to leaye in truckloads to Beth- lehem, these leaders sent out word that the demonstration is called off, asking the members to come |imstead to the Second and Third Ward meeting place, to the leagues joutside of Allentown. Telegrams were sent out, telling them that the | demonstration is called off. This | was done after the leaders had a conference the same afternoon at Kelsey's office. On the following morning, despite | these last-minute changes and the confusicn created, over 150 mem~- | bers came down to the Second and Third Ward, and many more re- ported to their local headquar-ers. The members then demanded to know why the demonstration was) jcalled off. These Musteite leaders, sensing the mood of the members, denied that the demonstration was called off,eand gave the excuse that they were told that Kelsey will not be in his office on that day. The workers were angry, “What do we care whether Kelsey is in the office or not. It’s public opinion we want to arouse. We will never he able to hold a demonstration if we expec: Kelsey to sit in his office and wait for us.” In order to stall ; the members off the leaders went off to Bethlehem to “find” out if Kelsey is in the office. They finally came back with the sad report that Kelscy is in the office. To stali the members off s ill more they called on their committee mon to give reports on what took plece the day before at Kelsey's of- fice, and instead of coming forward with definite propesals as to what N.R.A. Cuts Down Jobs of Lumber Workers By a Worker Correspondent POWERS, Ore. — The Coor Bay Lumber Co., which employs about 700 men in mill and woods, has been shut down for over two weeks, However, the longshcremen’s strike is not the cause, but the N. R. A. code, whose allotment for the C. B. L. Co. for July, August and Septem- ber is 6,000,000 board feet for each month, meaning a run of about 10 days each month. The majority of the workers here are in sympathy with the striking longshcremen, NOTE: We publish letters from farm- ers, agricultural workers, lumber and forestry workers, and connery workers every Thursday, These workers are urged to send us Iet- ters about their conditions of work, and their struggles to or- | gamice, Please get these letters ' to us by Monday of cach week. UNEMPLOYED LEAGUE NOT TOLD to do these leaders, trying to sneak out of responsibility, became great democrats, telling the members that | they themselves should decide} whether they wan’ to go to Beth- lehem or not. By this time almost everybody was disgusted with the whole affair and finally decided to send a com- mittee of 15 to see Kelsey, and even then almost half of those present voted that all should go as a dele- gation, But, instead of going with the demand for which the demonstra- tion was originally called, namely, that Kelsey resign, the committee went to give Kelsey another trial. Thus, these Musteite leaders hoped to cover up behind the “official” epproval (the members were never consulted) their dirty agreement which they made the day before at Kelsey’s office behind the back of the workers, The following comic incident, which throws much light on the workings of the A. W. P., is worth while recording. At the meeting of the Eighth Ward a discussion took | place on this affair. The question was raised: Was the absence of Kel- | sey from his office sufficient reason for the leaders to change the ar- rangement? Bill Kocher, one of these leaders, but: who continuously denies that he is a member of the | A. W. P. (taciics?) was present at | the conference with Kelsey, but did| not come down to the mobilization point on Friday morning (he knew the demonstration was called off). Not knowing what transpired on Friday morning he rose to defend | the action of the committee and} shou‘ed, “I will tell Preis (chief leader of the A. W. P. in here) to his face that he is a liar. The demonstration was called off. I was present when it was called off.” The members of the league must wake up to the si‘uation prevailing | in their organization.

Men are only working 2 and 3 days per week at! $3.20 per day here, and have to buy) food, and pay rent, which are going | higher every month. ‘The farmers are not getting their | costs for raising their crops, yet the! city authorities will not allow them | to peddie their produce without a peddler’s license, which forces prices up to the retail store level. Our country will want to see the Communists on the ballot here. Then I will do all I can to help elect them. J obs Rare OF DEALS BY A. W. P, For Farm Laborers By a Worker Correspondent WENATCHEE, Wash. Every freight train and highway leading | into Wenatchee, fruit center of Washington, is filled with unem- ployed transients—all arriving with | the same objective in view—pick- | ing pears. Although pear picking pays only 25 cents an hour and the men have to work 10 hours a day, seven days a week, and room and board from their own pocket, hundreds of men scour the neighborhood each day Icoking for a job which will net them the few dollars necessary to live independently of flophouses for a few weeks at least. But there are no jobs. In fact the situation in this part of the state has become a tragic farce. ‘Wenatchee men go to Wilbur look- ing for jobs harvesting wheat, and Wilbur unemployed go to Wenat- chee seeking pear-picking jobs. It is very common to see Wilbur and Wenatchee men meet on the road, each going to the others’ home town to look for work, But it is the transients who suffer most, Grimy and hungry, they get off the freights at Wenatchee to seek employment, only to find a hundred men applying for every job. The Transient Bureau here turns the men over to the Salvation Army, which serves scent, unsanitary meals. Forty meals a day did the sloppy “Sally” serve, but since the migration here it is not an un- common event for 300 men to come for food in a single day. Not only is there no sleeping quarter sufficient to take care of the majority of men, but those beds available are buggy and unclean. Many of the men, rather than rest in thos2 beds, wrap themselves in sert their own leadership, especially in the county committees and the central grievance committees, the newspapers and sleep in the empty box cars on the banks of the Columbia. A Raid in San Jose By a Worker Correspondent SAN JOSE, Cal—Last Thursday night four thugs came to our house, about 10 p.m., just as I was fixing to go to bed. One had an auto- matic shotgun and they all had sawed-off pick handles and reyol- vers. They demanded that I open the door. When I saw the odds against me (I could hear others outside but couldn’t see them—later I learned there were at least 200 in the crowd), I thought it would be bet- ter to open the door. They said they weren’t going to hurt me. I told the wife they were going to take me for a ride and she said she was going along and I told her to stay there. They also told her’ to stay there but she wouldn’t stay behind. They gathered up 13 of us in that territory in East San Jese, on McCurry St. and Stowe Ave. They took us out to a school house, info:ming us that we would not be hurt. After waiting at the school house approximately 15 minutes they blindfolded us and ordered us into cars and drove us out to a packing shed. Then they took our pictures at the packing shed. They wanted to beat me un, but the wife being there they didn’t have the heart to do it. They had already beaten other comrades that nizht. One of them they hung up four or five feet in the air at the end of a rop2 and let him down again. They had knocked three teeth loose for him and they had him blindfolded. They tore his clothes off and took his pants down and wanted to stick ene of these pick handles up his rectum and would have done it if he hadn't been a strong man able to protect himself. They held us there for about one hours, then they loaded us all in private machines and took us to Salinas. There we were met by highway patrolmen and uniformed police. They booked us in Salinas on vagrancy charges and took our pictures and fingerprints there. They held us until about 7:30 Fri- day and then loaded us into a small stage and started us on the way to Santa Barbara, making only one stop for gas. They sent us down alone with the bus driver from Pismo Beach, prob- ably thinking we would break away and leave the bus or wreck it. I think they wanted us to do that so they would have a charge against us. The police at Santa Barbara ar- rested us on a blanket charge, you might say, on suspicion. They held us there from 2 a.m. until 5 o'clock Saturday afternoon. They released us with orders to leave town by Sunday noon. The wife and I came on to Los Angeles and some of the boys made arrangements for trans- portation back to San Jose. They certainly tried hard to get the wife to leave me but she would not do it, orkers Win Struggle fo ’ to the City Hall where the Mayor and State Reiief Administrator wanted to sce me. I answered him thet they hed to sed and telk to the “commitses ta-t was cleeted for such 2 purpess. The commi d me We arvived at the City Hall and the Mayor of the city threatened to put me in jail. I told him, “look at all these people here surrounding you.” At the same time I told him to ask the sheriff what these people would tell him. The only law here is the workers. At this time the State Relief Ad- ministrator arose end told me that anything concerning the relief he and I would arrange. I answered him that £ couldn’t do anything without the workers. He told me that I shouid tell the workers that the relief office was open to give \them :elief orders as before, for the ‘whole county, and he would also put! ,come to we jthe demcn were any trouble.

Tke workers then voted not to have the demonstzation, and then he went and extended their relief. When we returned to the man’s house, the lady asked me if I was a Communist. I asked her why? She told me that at the relief station they were told not to pay any at- tention to them, as they were very bad people, these Communists. I also asked her if she believed this and she said, I don’t know, And at the same time, she repeated the question, was I a Communist? I answered he:, yes, I am, and then she said che wouldn't believe a thing they said about Communists again. The next day we had a meeting and we orgenized a branch ‘of the Spanish Workers League. So this r Relief || PARTY LIFE | Cleveland City Government Makes Attacks on Workers Tasks of Party's Fight Against Wholesale Injunctions, Police Terror Outlined By JOHN SCHMIES The events in the struggles that are taking place in the city of Cleveland, like in many other sec- tions in the country, such as San Francisco, New Jersey, Minneapolis and in some sections in the steel industry, places before the Party and the whole revolutionary move- ment tremendous political responsi- bility. Two workers were killed, several wounded and many arrested during the last few days in the struggle for relief and in strike action for increased wages and against injunc- tions against striking workers in Cleveland, All the events showed clearly a worked out plan on the part of Mayor Davis’ city adminis- tration and its police department of a violent attack against the working class, both employed and unem- ployed. The plan worked out by the city administration calls for a ruthless suppression through the most violent means of the increased numbers of unemployed who are seeking through organized militant channels to keep themselves and their families alive. In fact the Plan goes into detailed instructions on the role of the police in their relief stations all over the city of Cleveland. A similar policy is being followed against the trade unions and striking organized workers. Wholesale injunctions are being issued; mass arrests follow the in- junctions; beating up of workers on the picket lines, preventing the uniting of the employed and unem- ployed in common siruggle, An or- ganized system of scabbing against the strikers through the police de- partment. All these are some of the methods on the part of the boss class in order to force upon the workers relief cuts, and wage cuts. On the other hand we find that on the part of the very same insti- tutions increased activity is being carried on to undermine the pres- tige of Trade Unionism through their agents among the ranks of the workers and the building of fascist company-controlled unions. Serious attempts along this line are being carried on among the steel and automobile workers and the whole Policy is being directed by the In- dustrial Board set up by the gov- ernment. This policy of fascism can only be challenged through the united strength of mass struggles and mass action on the part of the employed and unemployed fighting together. We must build up committees in and around the factories and in the neighborhoods against this whole program of fascism and build out of these committees a permanent movement against this whole fascist and war program of the capitalist class. Such committees can be built in the struggle against injunc- tions. Such committees can be set up in the neighborhood and in the factory against the shooting and killing of workers. Such commit- tees must be built in the A. F. of L. unions that will take the lead for the right of the workers to or- ganize, strike and picket and for mass violation of the injunctions. ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS Perspiring Feet M. L. M.: .We have discussed this subject several times. Try a dusting powder made of 15 grains of salicylic acid and one ounce of baric acid, during the day. At night rub into the skin freshly prepared diachylon ointment. It is prepared by mixing one ounce of laid plaster with two ounces of olive oil. If you do not sleep alone, add 15 grains of oil of lavender flowers. For a more lasting effect apply the diachylon salve on gauze and bandage it around the soles and toes. Diabetes—Citrocarbonates A Militant Worker: If your mother really has diabetes, she ought to continue with the insulin treatment. When the proper dosage is used, there ought not be any reaction, such as chills. The right dose can- not be ascertained without a blood- sugar test. It is quite possible that she is not getting sufficient atten- tion, from the way you describe it. The citrocarbonates have evidently Dr. LUTTINGER ADVISES Such committees can be organized in many places for increased cash relief, for right of the unemployed workers to organize, for the right of the unemployed workers to join with the strikers in the picket lines in order to stop the bosses from using the unemployed to break strikes. Such committees can and have been developed for the Work- ers Unemployment Insurance Bill and surely such fighting organiza- tions can and must be organized to fight for the rights of the Negro workers and against all forms of discrimination, The events of the last few months demonstrate more than ever before the extent of the militancy and the desire for united action on the part of large sections of the workers or- ganized and unorganized. The helping hand of the high- salaried A. F. of L. officials to this whole fascist program of the capi- talists and their institutions has failed to stop the movement on the part of the workers to struggle. Next Steps The task of the Party now is to mobilize through its fraction in the trade unions and other mass organ- izations for a united front movement against this attempt around the fol- lowing program of action: 1) Against’ injunctions and shoot- ing of workers and for the right of the unemployed to help the strik- ing workers on the picket lines, 2) For increased cash relief for the unemployed and to stop the bosses from using the unemployed as scabs to break strikes. 3) Against discrimination of Ne- gro workers. 4) For the right of the workers to organize, strike and picket, for higher wages and better conditions. 5) For the Workers Unemploy- ment Insurance Bill. 6) Against fascist company unions, for the right of the workers to be- Jong to the union of their own choosing. For such a city-wide movement and such a program we must not only intensify our activity to unite the employed and unemployed, we must especially now, more than ever bring into motion the rank and file membership of the A. F. of L. and the independent militant unions. Proper committzes, proper represen- tative conferences will be a tremen- dous stimulus in unifying the forces for such a’ movement. But mast of all, increased activity at the greate-t speed with the greatest tempo is the task of the hour. Join the Communist Party 36 E. 12th STREET, N. Y.-C.
