The climate here is very dry, hot dry winds often would ruin our harvests, but now we have an ir- rigated experimental piece of land, an irrigated 100-hectare vegetable garden and 12-hectare fruit garden. | There are 390 persons in all in our collective farm and we have 3,000 hectares of land.

The county and city authorities imme- diately jumped on the most mili- tant union members of the citrus union, pointing at them as the ones setting fire to the houses. There were several arrests made of work- ers at that time, the authorities having used third degree methods in order to force them to plead guilty.

MAKE USE OF DAILY WORKER MATS Peoria, Til. Dear Comrade Editor: Here's a matter which I'd like to finished the work. He was asked | take up: From time to time articles, poems, etc. appear in the Daily Worker which, if properly propor~ tioned off in square or oblong shape when the dummies are made up, could be reprinted for organiza- tional use. Such material could be cut out bodily from the matrix, a Plate made from it and with the addition of a few lines of type, would be excellent for leafiet use for mass organizations locally, and could be sold to them by the thou- sands at a fairly reasonable price. The local organizations, for many reascns, are not able to get out such leaflets very often, no mimeo- graph, high cost of printing, etc. and this would help solve the problem for them. For Example the poem, “Anna Cassidy,” by Sadie Van Veen, in Helen Luke's column, September 28, with the ad- dition of a few required lines for local use, would make an excellent leaflet for the Unemployment Councils. Bedacht’s article, “Need for Mass Fraternal Organization is Stressed,” October 1, is another ex- cellent illustration. NOTE: The suggestion that the Daily Worker print leaflets for vale to the mass organizations is not feasible, except where an is- sue is ef national interest and im- portance, as was done in the tex- tile strike recently.. The need and usefulness of the editorials and articles reprinted from the Deity Worker would generally have to be determined by local conditions. But the suggestion homes‘eadas” that editorials and articles be publicly stated | Worker Correspondents! Into the Drive! ; cause, they said, the authorities publicly apologized to the union for their slanderous attack on the union as a whole. The union offi- cials claim this was sufficient, as far as they were concerned. J. M. Chapman, president of the United Citrus Workers’ Union, Inc., did not make any effort to help these union men to get a bond, or in any way to obtain their release from jail, nor did he approve of the union members helping these boys to get a lawyer or bond. These men remained in jail and were tried on Oct. 6 at Bartow, Fla., and were released after a number of rank and file union members testified to the innocence of their brother members in jail. j While they were in jail they were subjected to brutal treatment by Sheriff Chase and his deputies. Since they have been released, they have been terrorized by the chief of police, Pat Murphy, of Haines City. One of them has been afraid to even come down the street after dark, for fear of being taken for a ride. ‘He was visited a few nights ago by one of his friends in town, another union member, and it took a lot of convincing to make him believe that his friend was a real friend. This is a result of the ter- roristic threats that have been made against him in the city by the authorities. ‘We are the close co-operation of our fol- Worker is needed for worker cor- to put over the drive and the other and that of other workers through Our Readers reprinted from the original mats for leaflet distribution is an ex- cellent one, and the initiative should be taken by comrades in the district and in mass organiza- tions, whenever possible, of making use of these “mats” avail- able to them on request... It is not often practicable for the Daily Worker to set up its type in such a form that an article can fit into @ regulation size for a leaflet, but it should nevertheless often be possible to reprint from the matrix a page of suitable size. Comrades should keep in mind that the original mats are de- stroyed after a week, and that it is necessary to immediately in- form the morgue of the Daily Worker that they are to be re- served for special use. (A matrix, or “mat,” is the paper impression of the type set-up from which the paper is printed. Plates for leaf- lets can be cast directly from the mat, which would save the cost of composition, except for the addition of lines of local prop- aganda.) STRUGGLES OF THE CANA- DIAN WORKERS New York, N. Y. Dear Comrade Editor: The French Socialist, Louis Per- some errors on the situation in Canada (in his article in the Daily Worker of October 19.) When he writes, “The great masters of Can- ada are the priests,” he speaks with a@ great deal of truth only of the province of Quebec, one of nine provinces. There, it is true, the priests have hitherto had a baleful influence on many of the French- Canadian workers. Like the former priests in Czarist Russia, they are “police in surplices.” But Quebec province contains less than three million of Canada’s ten million population; and even there as in the rest of Canada it is a small clique of powerful financiers and capitalists who rule the coun- try and the government.

Olson too Busy For Demands Of Farmers By a Worker Correspondent EVELETH, Minn.—The Farmer- Labor Party leaders claim that the '| Mesaba Range is one of their best strongholds, but after hearing what some of the workers here have to say about the F.-L, Party leaves that statement open to doubt. Or- ganizations, time after time, have sent resolutions to Olson, Farmer- Labor Governor, dealing with un- employment and meager relief, mis- erable conditions and impoverish- ment of the workers and farmers. An answer has always come back, not from the “champion of labor and cause of the common man,” who calls out the National Guard to shoot down workers in cold blood and in the back, as seen in the re- cent Minneapolis strikes; but from Mr. Day, his secretary, who always answers in the same way to all communications to the Governor. “The Governor is busy with this thing or that situation, but I will refer it to him when it is con- venient. I am sure he will take some favorable action on it. Write to us again.” Well, either the Governor's time is taken up to such an extent that he has no time for such little mat- ters as demands and pleas for more relief or work, or perhaps he doesn’t want to be put on the spot. Just before elections it is embarrassing to refuse the people, so silence is more preferable. Through the tireless efforts of the Communist Party, which always has exposed the part that the Farmer-Labor Party leaders are playing in the economic conditions of our country; exposed their co- operative commonwealth, which they dangle before the noses of the people, but always out of reach; exposed their class collaboration and peaceful policies, which are leading the people into Fascism; the workers and farmers are realizing that the only Party through which they can attain eco- nomic security is the Communist Party. After the Steel Trust has taken all the sap out of our bodies, and has no more use for us, they have transient camps, poor farms and orders to leave town for us, so they won't have to pay the per capita tax. Now, by holding back ahout five or six million dollars in taxes, they are attempting to get rid of us by slow starvation. Workers, don’t take it lying down, let’s or- ganize into our clubs and demand that they give us more relief and work; let’s go to the polls and vote Communist, the only Party that is fighting persistently for our inter- ests.

Under the leadership of the illegal Com- munist Party of Canada, the ranks of the militant workers have swélled to thrice their former size in the past few years. In the West and in the thickly populated industrial province of Ontario, the majority of strikes have been under the leader- ship of the left wing unions.

Daily Worker Medi How a Medical School Trains Them To Be “Fair-Minded” The letter below, from a begin- ning student, speaks for itself, as @n example of how our temples of learning teach young medical stu- dents. In explanation of the medi- cal side of it, it is well-known that though slight weaknesses of the groin are present frequently in peo- ple, they do not cause any trouble until a severe strain, as in lifting, bending or pulling while at work, changes them to a frank rupture: ila, sesh, “I haye just begun my medical training at the X .. . University School of Medicine. While the courses in professional ethics and legal medicine are still some years ahead, our education in the role of the physician in a capitalist society has already been started. “Several days ago we were given a lecture on inguinal hernia. Having just completed the dissection of the inguinal canal (groin), we were to be enlightened on the clinical im- portance of the region and, as it turned out, on other matters. Dr. X. Y. Z., surgeon and registrar of the medical school, spoke to us on the nature of the hernia (means a rupture) and the weak spot in the inguinal region. Some day, he pointed out, one of you may be called on to testify in a legal case in connection with workmen's com- pensation. Remember then, he urged, before designating any case as traumatic (due to injury or physical strain, as in work), that for every inguinal hernia there must be a congenital (present at birth) weakness. “In our second week at medical school we are already being taught how to evade placing the responsi- bility for industrial accidents where | it belongs and how to protect the interests of the employer. “You may also be interested to know that the student sentiment for health insurance is pretty wide- spread here. “Your column, in my opinion, de- serves high praise.

H. of Newark, writes: “My grand-daughter, age 14, must have trouble with her stomach, Every time, after meals, she gags as she has lots of gas in her stomach, no pain; she eats wetl. She is full of life, but her mother worries about this stomach trouble, as her father died three years ago of can= cer. Her mother makes only $5 & week and consulting a doctor here costs money.” Bi Gary re No Fear of Cancer Many girls at fourteen have stomach complaints, and the chief complaint is that of gas. The gas (belching) can be due to several things, such as, eating too fast, swallowing air with each gulp of food, eating a diet which forms Bases, such as, almost entirely com- posed of vegetables, or nervousness. Cancer is not to be feared at her age, even though her father died of it. The fact that she is otherwise healthy, has no pains with her gas, and has lost no weight at all, is in her favor, The fact that her mother makes only $5 a week, that none of you can afford any of the decencies in life, not even medical care, in a sen- sitive high school girl, is enough to give her nervous indigestion with belching. We advise a diet which contains > liberal amount of meats and fats, in addition to the vegetables. She requires no medicine.

Mrs. Jose- phine Phillips is the wife of a steel worker, afd the mother of four children. She is Communist can- |didate for State Representative, District 21, Muskegon County, Mich- igan, She is the personification of the lives of a thousand women. She had a parochial upbringing. She married young, had children, and with them all the cares of working class mothers. She knew what it meant to wait every night for the safe return of her husband from the steel mill, She saw him come home, worn out, spent. Her life was busy with the task of stretching the pocketbook, warding off from her family illnes and hunger. She be- came resentful and began to wonder about this life that made her hus- band and her strike so hard to get So little of the necessities of life. Early in 1931 she joined the I. L: D. as a charter member, and became deeply inmersed in the problem of how to better her own life and that of her class, She became active in defense work and organized a branch of the I. L. D. in Muskegon Heights. She joined the Communist Party the end of 1931. From that time on she plunged herself into activities to better the conditions of herself and her neighbors. Muskegon township had been cut. off from all relief. She helped or- ganize a relief workers’ strike that held its ranks solid. Through the militant fight they waged they forced emergency relief orders to be given out, and 150 families to be Placed back on the welfare list. They also forced a changing of re- lief officials. She has also recently taken part in the strikes at the Campbell, Wyant and Cannon foun- dry, and at the Prosperity Laundry.
