This committee was sup- | posed to be an impartial body set up to determine the truth about! medical conditions in the United} States. How “impartial” it really | was, is disclosed by the fact that its leader, former Secretary of Interior, Wilbur, declared that the depression was having a beneficial effect upon | Wokers’ children.

Maggie Pritschau, farmer delegate from Nebraska, also } hastened home, writing en route that the further she got into the country the more she was impressed with the power of the Congress. Mother Bloor told also of argu- ments previous to adoption of the) Manifesto. “Pacifist” women had il- lusions: one said, “We should treat the _.war-makers as we would naughty children—give them sup-| per and put them to bed.” A Negro | delegate vehemently countered: | “We can’t give supper to men who | are fascists and our enemies, nor | put them to bed! There's only one | way to deal with them—fight!” | Two delegates set out to try to enter the German concentration | camps for women, there to do anti- | War work. While the Congress met, | there were warlike demonstrations | by Nazis on the Saar border. The | Saar delegates (Socialist Party) re- | ported that in the Saar “we have | united to such a degree that 30 per | cent of the Catholic women are joined under our banner!” A lone delegate from the Argen- tine, overcoming the difference of language, said: “Comrades, you are all talking about the ‘threatening war. Well, in my land we have been in the thick of the war between Paraguay and Bolivia for two + years.” Mother Bloor read to us portions of telegrams to the congress from Dimitroff and Gorky. When she later led Capitola Tasker to the platform, the sharecropper delegate described the manner in which they work in the South. “Well, we take our Bibles—you | know we are religious down there— | and it’s a good thing we are re- ligious, or we'd ’a' never got.so far along in our anti-war work—” (laughter). “We take our Bibles and go quilting, so they don’t know what we're talking about: so we talk to the women..

It is no accident that last week our general organizer, Mr. Mack- esey, made a similar statement in the press attacking the Communists and militant rank and filers, who are fighting against his treacherous Policies.

The rank and file shoe work- ers of our union must stick together in one solid block to fight against wage cuts and this infamous arbi- tration.

I hope you will have power to down all the dirty and scurrilous calumnies issued by your capitalist industry owners and their lackeys, the social-democratic leaders. Now I wish to say a few words about myself. I was born a peasant girl in the year 1913, The following year the imperialists started their World | War. My father was killed in that | war, and shortly after my mother | died of hunger and want, leaving | behind her nine orphaned children, | who had to go through the streets | of the village begging for bread. Then came the revolution in 1917. My two oldest brothers joined the Red Army. An older sister was mur- dered by counter-revolutionists. I was then only four years old. Then the Soviet authorities removed me |to a home for children, where I re- |mained for three years. An old |lady came and brought me to the home of her deughter. Two years passed. I then started to go to school. But the old lady died when I was nine years old. What should I do? I took em- ployment as nurse with a kulak, but I also had to do the cooking and other work. And for all this I got nothing but abuse.

MORE PIE IN THE SKY St. Louis, Mo. | Rev. Philips, pastor of Waymans Temple, A. M. E. Church, who re- fuses to give one minute’s time for a representative of the League of Struggie for Negro Rights or the International Labor Defense to make an appeal to the workers for funds for the nine Scottsboro boys’ defense or any other case, is known among his flock as a great human- itarian. He has just completed his drive for $1,400 with success. He raised in this drive $1,431.25 for a payment on the church mortgage with an additional $182 raised last Sunday for the painting of the church auditorium. But when he was asked to contribute to the Scottsboro boys and Mrs. Bell John- son, who was in need of medical attention, he said he prayed for the Scottsboro boys and never gave any- thing. Vv. B. ELECT A COMMUNIST SHERIFF! Spivak, Colo, Dear Comrade Gebert: I wish to commend you for your article in which you graphically show the tie-up between finance capitalism, political machine and racketeer gangsterism. To my mind, no effort must be spared to make all workers and farmers realize this menace. More and more, thugs are being utilized against strikers and unemployed. Usually these gang- Sters are clothed with legal au- thority to commit murder, as they are sworn in as deputy sheriffs or | Letters from Our Readers EXPOSED policy of employer-employee repre- | sentation in all their other plants, | therefore they are looking for a new | plan by which they will be able to} trick workers into thinking that at) least the company is giving them a real labor organization without the} expense of having to pay union) dues. | In the past few weeks the bosses | have been utilizing all the depart- mental safety meetings to try to} bolster up the waning influenee of the company union. To these meet- img they send their most trusted henchmen to talk to the workers on the advantages of the new plan over the old one. In one of the construction department groups, the | bosses’ henehman speaker was ques- tioned by one of the workers, and was forced to admit that in reality | there is no difference. At. this ad- | mission the workers began to laugh | knowingly. So now the company is planning to have the workers vote either for) the old plan or the new plan. The} conducting of the polling places is so managed that all workers who do not vote become exposed. Even Herr Hitler has something to learn from this method. Yet the bosses and their government here in the United States try to tell the work- ers they have democracy and free- dom. A few years later I took employ- ment as a nurse with a woman in the city and I had to tend to her studies. But here I got the oppor- tunity in the evening to learn to read and write. In 1929 I joined the Young Com- munist League. From this time this league became my family, my mother and father. I studied, and from a simple rank and file mili- tant I became a leader in the local branch, Later I was sent to school. I went through a long period of labor and study, and at last I worked as the secretary of a large branch of the Y. C. L, I have now graduated as a tech- nician and bear the official title of technician in the textile indus- try. I am glad I have the oppor- tunity to communicate my knowl- edge and experience to my fellow workers in my country. I am doing it in the interest of our building Socialist society. I do my best to produce goods second to none in the world. Please tell your workers how I, from a lost vagabond child, became the happiest girl in this most happy country. Dear comrades, workers in the capitalist countries: You must always bear in mind that in the Soviet Union you have your best friends and that they in any difficulty are prepared to come to your aid. Comrades, please, as soon as possible, overthrow your employers, and then we, hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder, will fight and be victorious together. At the same time always bear in mind that we are not only udarniks in our industries, we are not only learning to produce the best goods in the world, but we are also learn- ing to be sharpshooters and snipers, and, if the bourgeoisie should dare to put their swinish snouts into our Soviet garden, we girls, together with our men, are prepared to push back our enemies. ASYA GOUSSAVA. important county office of sheriff. We know that in these days of struggle the police power of the state is being used everywhere to suppress the proletariat. In the farming and mining states the of- fice of sheriff is playing a most important part in carrying out the dictates of the exploiters. This of- fice is being used in the campaign of the federal government to evict 2,000,000 farmers from their hold- ings. In Pennsylvania, Kentucky, West Virginia, Utah and Illinois the mine operators were able to smash the strikes of the miners only by having control of the sheriff's office. In Illinois also the sheriffs are being used to deefat the struggle of the unemployed, as is shown by the Hillsboro case. Therefore in those counties where there are strong United Farmers League, Unemployed Councils and locals of the National Miners Union or branches of industrial unions, these forces must be united to cap- ture the vastly important and stra- tegic office of the sheriff and turn it into a weapon against the op- pressors, WHY COMMUNISM AND WHY RELIGION Spring Valley, N. Y. I have met a great many workers who are against Communism. It is because they don’t know any- thing about Communism. They have false ideas and they can’t un- derstand why the Communists are against religion. Therefore I would suggest, and it is very important, that the Daily Worker print a brief outline of what Communism is, in every edition, and also explain what religion means to the working class. -ont’s Old Hickory Plant Central’ Labor! Union in Johnstown Backs | Social Insurance Bill By a Worker Correspondent JOHNSTOWN, Pa.—The Cen- | | tral Labor Union of Johnstown, Pa., has endorsed the Workers Unemployment and Social In- surance Bill. Also the local board is sending a resolution to the Congressmen of their district and one to Senator Davis of this state, asking them that they ignore all other fake bills and support the Workers Bill until passed. The Board de- manded an answer on what position they will take. Last week Locals No. 67 and 68 of the A. A. steel union here in Johnstown has also endorsed the Bill and pledged to con- tinue the fight for the bill. Similar resolutions were sent as those of the C. L. B. Plans are being made to have alt organizations and unions elect a delegate to visit the City Council and force them to support the Bill. ide Omelette Made Out of | Rotten Eggs By a Worker Correspondent WEST BRIGHTON, N. Y.—For one year this plant has supposedly been running according to the codes of this industry, which is converting cetton for the making of window shades. Now after other shops throughout the country have actually made apple sauce of the blue buzzard, Claysmith & Co. puts it up on the bulletin boards of each department. Well, the old bird doesn’t look so good to the workers here as it did one year ago when they held illu- sions of the golden eggs it was to hatch. Those eggs, they find, are rotten, Rotten egg No. 1. That we have a right to report any violation of the codes, but I know personal friends of mine that found them- selves out of a job for doing it and the N. R. A. didn’t do a damn thing about it. Rotten egg No. 2. That we have the right to join a union of our own choice and bargain collectively, but hundreds have been fired for union activities, and, as for bar- gaining collectively, why we have those ~ well-known strike-breaking arbitration boards, which means you lose, heads or tails. Tt is true that our wages have been restored to the 1929 level, but at that time we worked 10 hours a day, which, for instance, at 40 cents per hour would equal $4. Now the same worker, receiving 40 cents per hour, working eight hours a day, will be making $3.20, or $16 per week, and you can rest assured that the same amount was produced in eight hours as the customary ten before the N. R. A. Well that is the lay in this plant. This went along for a few months, when the bosses found out that we were making too much money work- ing 40 hours a week. They chopped a day off and made it 32 hours, which reduced our wages from $16 to $12.80. That was also too much, and fearing that we workers, would become independent on $12.80 they chopped another day off and brought us down to the middie class standard, which amounts to $9.60 per week. And there’s Roosevelt. He's do- ing all he can—to keep Clayburg from starving. ere is a move on foot to or- ganize the workers of this plant, numbering approximately 125 men and a few women, Police, Vermin Fill. Transient Home in Iowa By a Worker Correspondent DAVENPORT, Iowa. — Davenport police are in charge of the Tran- sient Home here. They search the men transients when they check out, They question men that have been here for weeks, The police or- der men to leave and several men are checking out, old men. and young men, because the police act as if all the men in the Transient Home here are criminals. The food consists of mostly pota- toes and what have you. The transient clerks have a private house to eat and sleep in and a big Cad- illac touring car. Old and crippled men are forced to work or get out. This is the New Deal in Iowa. Petty politicians that know nothing about running the place are put in charge. Partiality is shown to transients on payrolls. Some get $1 per week, some $3 Der week, and some are paid by the month. One week is held back, and when a man checks out he has a $1 check coming that he has signed the payroll for but never gets. But who does get that check that each man leaves when he checks out? Who has been getting them, and were they cashed by anyone in the past three months? That’s Mr. Palmer’s new deal to the transients in Iowa, Vote Pal- mer and his gang out at election time. Old men, and sick men, are forced to line up for their meals. The place is full of bedbugs and blank- ets are never washed. But still they have money to hire three shifts of police to hound’ the transients at the Home. Oh no, there is no forced Jabor when they force old men, I believe that this wsuld open their eyes and we would get them | private police, In the coming campaign the Party should place emphasis on the nearer to our movement, ROSE, cripples and sick men to work or get out. Se “Daily” on Busy Corners PARTY LIFE Farm Experience Shows Need For Collective Leadership ‘When it comes to struggle for re- lief and against foreclosures, in speaking at meetings and in dem- onstrations, it is only the same few in this section that come forward as leaders. What a-crippling effect this situa- tion can have was clearly seen in the foreclosure sale which took place here recently. The few Com- munist Party and United Farmers League speakers we had were on a tour of preliminary street meetings for the August 1 demonstration. It was understood that the locals of the Communist Party and the UFL. were to carry through a Sears-Roebuck sale without the help of those who were now speak- ing. [A Sears-Roebuck, or “penny sale” is one at which the farmers buy for a few cents or a few dollars the chattels which are being sold. The goods are then given back to the original owner.—Editor.] So used were the units to having their leaders do all the planning and organizing that now, when they had to carry out a fight themselves, they were soft and flabby, incapable of making decisions and less capable of executing them. Everyone seemed to depend upon someone else to do something. In the hours before the sale, the Communist Party and U.F.L. mem- bers sat in the shade, no one mak- ing a moye to explain to the ex- ‘pectant crowd of farmers the de- tails of the Sears-Roebuck sale, its manner of conduct. Of course, the farmers knew that the sale was to be tampered with. Apparently, the bankers knew also, for a few depu- ties with long oak clubs hung around plus a few well-dressed, ob- servant government agents. The old leaders who led the pre- vious ‘struggles happened to come to the sale a few minutes before it started. Party comrades rejoiced and shoved full responsibility on Absence of Leaders Leaves Comrades Uncertain About What Actions To Take in Farm Sale been figured out. Just then the sale started. An insurance man bid in one ar- ticle after another. He outbid everyone else and soon it became so evident that this was planned that the few scab bidders who bid before him so he could get it at a higher bid quit. No one else made a@ move to buy, but him. Where was the committee to bid? Where were the leaders? How could we stop that rat from bidding? These were the questions that raced in the minds of the farmers. The crowd did not know what to do because no pre- liminary meeting of explanation had been held. The sale went through with only sarcastic wise- cracks signifying that opposition to it was there. We suffered a great loss of pres- tige by this failure. At the same time we learned a big lesson on the necessity of every comrade being an organizer and a leader. We know that our present leader- ship will not be with us always, Therefore, every class conscious worker must train himself to be a leader. Then no matter how many leaders we have taken away from us, we still have enough reserves of conscientious, trained, and resolute working men to keep our battle- front in fighting formation and moving forward, f w.h Minahga, Minn.
