Such is the fate of a whole city, for most men of Barre cut stone, and their sons after them will cut stone. Their fathers died as they are dying. And this is one of the among other workers. A Great Strike Last year there was a great strike | in Barre. The city was solid for the strike, even to the small busi- nessmen. The powerfully intrenched | Rock of Ages Corp. called upon Governor Wilson for troops. Of course the governor complied. With | the troops came imported scabs. {| Terror on an ambitious and sys-} tematic scale reigned in Barre. Chil- | dren leaving school were attacked | with gas bombs. Housewives were | chased into their homes at the | points of drawn revolvers. One local national guardsman was | forced to defend his little gas sta- | | tion with a lead pipe against the | outside troops. The militant strikers | fought day after day on the streets | to maintain their picket’ lines. The | Barre strike was a partial victory | and the militant and united front | spirit remains today, as a result of | the big strike. Party Influence Growing These radicalized workers have | | formed a branch of the Interna-| Baers Labor Defense, and a Unit of the Commumnist Party. Both |are preparing for the next strike, | which everyone expects in the Spring. So strong has become the influ- ence of the Party and the I. L. D. in this proletarian city that local) | politicians have approached com- | rades asking for the backing of the | Party in the local elections. Of| course the local comrades will not} back these politicians. In fact the| | comrades are exposing them as they | |have exposed Sam Squibb, lebor | faker and international president of the Granite Cutters International Association. Last Saturday when the unions held their annual parade and pic- | nic, the I. L. D. “stole the parade,” to quote a number of observers. Fully a third of the line of march Was composed of our comrades and close sympathizers. Daily Workers are sold on the streets of Barre. The I. L. D. meet- ings and social events are well at- tended. And the Party members are everywhere accepted and re- Spected by the rank and file of union workers, which means most of the people of Barre. Thomas Boyd, of South Wood- stock, is running for governor cn the Communist ticket. The state authorities, seeking to keep us off | the ballot, require that we collect a number of signatures equal to one per cent of the state’s population, which is a big order to fill for our small numbers. Also, the law re- quires that each signature be at- tested by a notary, which means that the comrades must first be- come notary publics before collect- ing signatures. It is a common occurrence while | out collecting signatures to have at worker say “No” when we first ask | for Signature, and to reach out |for a pen when we explain that | Boyd is the Communist candidate. | The red scare has no edge in| Barre. The Barre workers know | that the Communist movement is/| growing rapidly in this city, where the Party has been but a short time, and far from being frightened they welcome us. One thing further is quite certain, if the Barre company of National Guard is called upon for strike duty here or elsewhere in the state, they will not serve as strikebreakers, and also the bosses need not look for scabs in Barre.

The people themselves | can stop lynchings and abductions, semi-legal or otherwise, G.S.M. EDITOR'S NOTE:—While the | correspondent is correct in regarding the Cosigan-Wagner anti-lynching bill as merely an- other serap of paper not really intended to stop lynching, it does not follow that all laws against lynching would necessarily be in- effectual. The effectiveness of such laws depends upon the aims of those drawing up the proposed laws. Their enforcement depends upon the extent to which mass pressure is exerted upon the lynch courts and officials by the white and Negro toilers and all sincere oppo- nents of lynching, united in joint, militant struggle against the lynch terror and the economic and social system out of which lynching grows and thrives. The Costigan-Wagner anti- lynching bill is drawn by mem- bers of the ruling class responsible for the persecution and oppres- sion of the Negro people. It is sponsored by such people as the N. A. A. ©. P. leadership, whose role as assistant lynchers is glar- ingly exposed in their attacks on the fight to save the Scottsboro boys, in their betrayal of George Crawferd and other framed-up Negro workers. The Pittsburgh piece of that traitorous leader- ship. Its editor and publisher, Mr. Vann, is part of the national government which has established and endorsed sub-human wage differentials under the N. R. A. against Negro workers; has jim- crowed Negroes in the House and Senate restaurants at Washing- ton, and is busy “ploughing uz- der” Negro and white poor farm- ers. Recent brutal lynchings have aroused widespread mass indigna- tion. The Costigan-Wagner Dill is put forward at this period to foster the illusion that the lynch rulers will themselves put an end to the lynch terror by which they maintain their plunder rule over the Negro majorities in the “Black Belt“ territories. It is designed to smash the mass fight, organized and led by the Communist Party, against lynching and the eco- nomic and social system out of which lynching grows and thrives. In sharp contrast is the Bill for Negro Rights and the Suppression of Lynching, drawn up by the League of Struggle for Negro Rights, with its clear-cut defini- tion of lynching and mobs and its provision for the death sentence against the lynchers. 'This defini- tion and provision are both care- fully omitted from the Costigan- Wagner Bill, thus leaving the lynch rulers free to use the bill, if passed, against those very forces which are fighting against lynching. It is not correct that the iden- tity of the lynchers is never known. The League of Struggle for Negro Rights, the Interna- tional Labor Defense and the Daily Worker have time and again exposed the identity of leaders of lynch mobs, including State and county officials. In the George Armwood Jynching on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, the I, L, D. and the Daily Worker confronted the county and State authorities with the names of the leaders of the mob which mur- dered Armwood. As a result of mass protest, several of these leaders were arrested but were immediately released—exonerated by the lynch courts! Governor Ritchie and the county authori- ties refused to prosecute the known lynchers! In several other lynchings dur- ing the last two years, the leaders of the mob were known, some even admitting their guilt, Yet in every case, as the correspon- dent points out, the verdict was “death at the hands of parties unknown.” On the other hand, the full force of the government is mobilized against the rack- | eteering kidnappers of rich men. The mass fight of Negro and white toilers and sympathizers is the only force that can stop lynching. But that fight, to be effective, must be directed against the lynch courts and officials, against the whole rotten capital- ist system which breeds lynching, mass unemployment, misery, fas- Courier is the unofficial mouth- cist terror and imperialist war. Demand Probe into Killing of Negro Youth in Birmingham Unemployed Council Brings Improvement in Relief in Denison By a Worker Correspondent BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Aug. 14.— Birmingham workers are demand- ing an investigation into the killirg of Roy Jones, 21-year old Negro youth, by R. B. McMurrian, white business man, of 1913 3ist Ave. N. While McMurrian and his wife claim that Jones is unknown to them and was shot down as an in- truder seeking to burglarize their home, several persons are ready to testify that they saw Jones two days in succession with McMurrian in the latter's Ford truck.

Also the case workers are not so nasty as they were two months ago.

All this has happened since we began to organize the Unem- ployed Council.

Pickers | | Fifty Come Out with $12.72, Which They Pay To Go Home By An Asticultural Worker Corre- spondent RACINE, Wis—I am writing the rest of my experience in Reynold’s Cherryland Orchards. The workers in the factory were receiving the big sum of 32 cents per hour and the pickers also re- ceived the big sum of five cents per pail, which was supposed to be a four-quart pail. Mr. Abner J. Dahlstrom, of Racine, who went through the expense of transport- ing us from Racine to Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, received nothing | for his trouble because the pick- did not have any money to give him. Out of 50 people the sum of | $12.72 was the total amount over | and above the board, which we had | to use for transportation to go| home. | I understand that Martin’s Or- chards were under the same condi- tion as Reynold’s orchards. Here the pickers were paid four cents for four-quart pails. The bottoms were bumped and the tops heaped. Really it was five quarts they had | to pick to get paid for four. Then | they had to be weighed, too. Pick- | ers had to stand in line, and those on the tail end would lose about enough time for what it takes to fill another pail, but that didn’t make any difference to Martin's. At this place they have company stores and they charge as high as 10 cents for a pound of oatmeal in bulk. The relief pays a little over a cent a pound for this same oat- meal. Other articles were sold on the same profit sharing plan for the bosses. Says Drought Is Excuse For Killing Cattle By a Worker Correspondent BARNHART, Texas.—From Ama- rillo on the north of Texas to Del Dio, on the Rio Grande to the south, the Raw Deal plan seems to be to buy outright five million cattle and five million sheep and to de- stroy, kill on the range, 35 per cent of the cattle and 70 per cent of the sheep. ‘The boss class press or the Daily Morning Liars would have you be- lieve the drought is severe, cattle starving. This is far from the truth, here. Yes, it is dry. But flesh and class and age are not considered when all calves under 200 lbs. get the axe. And to see the buzzards flap their wings when the unemployed come looking for beef is enough to wring tears from a wooden Indian, and you are inclined to doubt the sanity of the race. When the workers take charge of this entire world, includ- ing the U. S. A, the destruction agents’ work will come to an end. LETTERS FROM OUR READERS Stelton, N. J. Editor, Daily Worker: The editorial in today’s Daily Worker, “Father Devine Is God,” is timely and very much necessary. I was in the demonstration, witnessed the confusion of some of our com- rades and listened to the futile ar- guments with the Negro worke:s about God. I hope every comrade will read this editorial. Our com- rades should get ready to see many moze strange things as the develop- ment of the united front continues. The demonstration was impressive— and many comments of bystanders were to the effect that it will not be easy to pull off another war while such parades go on. IL. New York City. Edito:, Daily Worker: Acceptance of the participation of Father Devine and his followers in a united front demonstration against war and fascism on August 4 was nct only “correct” as has been pointed out in an editorial of the Daily Woxker, it is also—and this is important—-a manifestation of the overcoming of sectarianism. Participation in united front ac- tions against war and fascism is our criterion of the sincezity of the parties involved. While our approach to Father Devine and his followers, in the already mentioned editorial, as a whole is corzect, a serious mis- taxe has been made and must be called to the attention of our Party mombers in the intorest cf unity. The writer states, “while carrying such stiange and feolich placards’ (in reference to “Father Devine Is God,” eic.), “they join with Com- munists and other militants in a struggle against war and fascism.” Such strong words “strange and foolish” should have been omitted in an article dealing with our ap- proach as Communists to potential allies, because to us nothing is strange, ALBERT LORENZ.
