So, you see that these re- lief clothes are here to be sold in- stead of given away. This concerns the rural districts only. Practically all of the people are too destitute to have a sewing ma- chine of their own, and have to pay rent on one to use in the sewing room. The families on the rehabilitation list who get mules, cows, etc., are allowed from $6 to $12.a month for groceries. They get orders for a few things to be brought from local merchants and a few from the F.E.R.A. supply room. All of these things are charged, of course, and they get receipts for their work, no matter how much time they put in. All members in a family were al- lowed 48 hours a week for a while, but when they saw that some of them were going to pay out and be Use Every {ffort in Final evel on Relief again iscontinued all | projects until further notice. Sev- eral weeks have elapsed since that time and no work yet. If these families pay up, these people in Orangeburg who ride around to investigate their progress will not have their fat jobs riding around in their nice cars and tell- ing these people when to plant their turnips and onions, so to speak. These people don’t mind paying for their things, but it is rather em- barrassing to have to beg for them and buy them too. The relief council said they are going to cut the wages of the re- lief workers because the farmers could not afford to pay high wages to the labor on his farm. That means less food, and a great many people have pellagra now because the supply of food is so scant. Yet, the nurse will come around and tell them to eat liver and cheese and such impossible foods as that. The people know what to eat, but they can’t get it. NOTE We publish every Thursday let- ters from farmers, agricultural and cannery and lumber workers in these industries to write us of their conditions and efforts to or- ganize. Please get these letters to us by Monday of each week. PLEA TO GROUPS A modest sum, today, but none- theless appreciated.

William | Green is still trying to keep the workers divided. | When a representative of the| jlocal sponsoring committee for un- |employment insurance presented the | Workers Unemployment and Social |Insurance Bill for endorsement at a meeting of the Central Trades and |Labor Council, Bill Green had al- |ready sent instructions for them not to have anything to do with the National Congress for Unemploy- | |ment and Social Insurance in Wash- | ington on Jan. 5, 6, 7. | He further stated that he is go- | ing to present a bill which all A. F. of L. locals should endorse, and that President Roosevelt is studying the unemployment problem and that we should wait for him. This clearly shows us that Green is working hand in hand with the President against the working class, Green sees that the workers in the A. F. of L. are going over the heads of the Greens and Gormans in the fight for better conditions and unemployment and social in- surance. Therefore he tells the workers to have confidence in Roosevelt. We workers say that President Roosevelt has promised us_ better living conditions for over two years and what has he done? Not one damn thing towards keeping these Promises. Fruit Rots on Trees in State of Washington By a Farmer Correspondent EATONVILLE, Wash.—Last sum- mer hundreds of cherry trees full ae hhave decreased consider- ably. Apples, everywhere in the western part of the State of Washington can be seen rotting on trees. Some farmers have signs up, “Apples for sale, 50 cents per sack. Pick them yourself.” Still they can’t get any buyers while the city workers and the unemployed hardly know what an apple tastes like. Farmers and workers everywhere, study the solution to the misery} you are in. Make it a point to it your friends and relatives during the week and ask them for contribu- tions for the Daily Worker.

Here is the picture: | There is a group of people, young and old, Negro and white, foreign | born and native born, on the north entrance of the building. A few banners are in evidence with inscrip- | tions such as “We demand a 50 per |cent increase in relief,” “No evi |tions of the unemployed,” “We de- mand jobs or cash relief,” etc. The appearance of the poorly clad as- sembly, the presence of banners, the speakers on the rostrum con- vince the onlooker that this is a demonstration of the unemployed. Edging up closer to the speaker, I heard him read the demands which they were to present to the Board of Aldermen who were sup- posed to be meeting on the ques- tion of the unemployed. The speaker called for the committee and some relief cases, the latter to testify be- fore the Board of Aldermen as to how the charitable institutions have been discriminating against them. Between twenty to twenty-five people started up the City Hall steps off the rostrum. The leader was a Negro. A young white man mounts to the rostrum, he is the chairman of the meeting, and he informs the crowd that following the committee’s en- \trance, if the Aldermen are in ses-| hands, congratulating themselves on sion, everybody should go in and hear what the Aldermen and the |Honorable Mayor Dickmann have|marked, “How vividly this recalls |to say about aiding the unemployed. |the scenes of old Czarist Russia to While this young man is speaking, the committee is stopped at the door. An army of police pour out of the building and without any fur- ther ado begins pushing and sho’ ing the people around. The police | they were hungry, and last but not deploy in fighting formation, led by a captain, skirt around the crowd. The captain pushes the speaker off.

D.) APPEAL TO THE IMAGINATION Chicago, Tll. Dear Comrade Editor: I, who would like to see a Soviet America in the shortest possible time, came to the conclusion that we must present a program before the American people which will cap- ture their imagination. What the people really want to know, as it was put to me by an ex-serviceman in the factory where I work, is, what are we going to get under a Communist govern- ment? is Those I have spoken to are in- terested in what they are going to get when Communism will be a reality. They want to know ap- proximately what will be their in- come? How many hours will we work and who will run the factories and offices? Who will appoint the} manager or the foreman? In other words they want to see some pic- ture of a future Communist society. I tried my best to exolain to them what a Communist society will look like in the U. S. A. The result of my explanation was tremendous. Some of them who half an hour Armour Workers Must! Pay to Community Chest | By a Worker Correspondent | OMAHA, Neb.—As we punch our clock at Armours Packing plant we find a sign on the clock telling us that they are grateful for our con- tribution to the Community Chest. “If you can give more, see your foreman, if you cannot give your quota see him also.” Our quota is $5.20 for the year, and we know what it means to “see our fore- man” and tell him we can't kick | through. This forced contribution from workers cuts out unemployment in- surance. If we had that we wouldn’t need the chest at all, and each man working could go about unmolested. It's funny how the schemers scheme. If we workers did a little of this scheming we'd be better off, | but all we’ve been looking for is | work and more work. As it is, in! Armour’s we do about three men’s | work on each job. In the morning and evening we put in ten minutes extra besides. This means a lot of money to them, but we get nothing for it. OMAHA ARMOUR WORER. Transients Protest Bad Food By a Worker Correspondent NEW ORLEANS, La. — Protesting the rotten conditions at the Tran- sient camp in Algiers, more than 1,000 struck over a week ago. The strikers charged that the food was rotten, and so badly prepared that they had always to take Saltz or CC pills after each meal. The officers were charged with graft in “knocking” down on prices of sup- | plies and in withholding money | from the boys for a month at a time in the hope they would leave camp and thus the officers got the rake off of small change, etc. This camp is one of the several government camps where homeless youths and young transients are crowded together and given train- ing for the future war. The leaders of the strike, Moe Rogees, Samuel Butts, Harry Wat- son, Joseph Greiger were arrested by New Orleans police and sentenced to $5 or thirty days in jail. Not be- ing able to pay the fine they had to take the jail term. The I. L. D. immediately got to work exposing the case and arousing the masses | to protest this cruel treatment and | the boys were released. | Some 250 of the most militant ones who took part in the strike have been driven out of the camp. Some of these were transferred to dif- ferent transient lodgings in the city, others were driven out of town. Now to appease the others and prevent future trouble the papers are carry- ing front page stories about the government building a modern hos- pital for the transients, good food being given to the boys, etc. The Algiers transient camp is only one example of the harsh treatment handed out to the industrial dis- cards. Reports Waste On Rural Co. Relief Project By a Farmer Correspondent MINER COUNTY, So, Dakota.— Miner is just one of the many counties all through the drought area that is reporting the most wasteful kind of relief work—that is wasteful of human energy. Road work is being done with shovels even though heavy road machinery j} is available close at hand. In Miner County there is a road building project, which consists of widening a 60-rod grade by 6 feet. Relief workers on this project are using two horse road slips which take about a quarter yard. The project is costing $1,800. The men figured that if the job was done with the county’s elevator grader that the actual cost of the job would be $45. Farmers on the job are asking these questions: Is there not neces- sary work which can be carried on in an efficient manner which will benefit the country a lot more? We are only getting 60 cents an hour for a man and a team. At this we can not do more than pay for the feed which a working horse requires at present prices. Why doesn’t the county use its elevator grader on the job, and pay us the difference in cost, which would mean our horses could stay in the barn and we would have some spending money? before would not listen to anything, now exclaimed enthusiastically, “If Communism is so good, why isn't everybody a Communist?” The worst part of it is that when they asked me for some printed matter on these questions I could not find one pamphlet in the Workers Book- shop that would let them take a look into our future Soviet America. So, to sum it up, if we want to get people interested, we must print two pamphlets. (1) A pamphlet that will give them a general idea of things in a Soviet America. (2) One dealing with various trades, for in- stance, coal miners, textile workers, professional men, office workers, farmers, etc. The main thing is to have these pamphlets plainly written, interesting, colorful, emo- tional, artistic. We must get tens of thousands to support us, or the Fascists will get ahead of us. RANK AND FILER.

The State Institute examined her and sent her back to our doctor. The Doctor examined her again and he found hard little lump on the same place she had in- flammation before and he said that this must be taken out (he is a surgeon too) but for this had plenty of time. He proposed we come over in May next year then he will take it out. “He say that if not taken out it possible will develop to cancer in about eight to ten years.

It upsets them and makes them TOO SELF-CEN- TERED!” Konia ND Albert Edward Wiggams, who runs a daily column in the New York Post, adds his mite by saying that should men look for intelligent women to marry, rather than beau- tiful ones, that would not be so good for the race! | eile * It is not difficult to imagine these learned men tooting their horn on a Nazi bandwagon. Cer- tainly they have already some- thing in common. eae he DAY Helen Luke writes on cleaning windows. She says, “There are many methods of win- ; dow-cleaning. Hot water and am- monia may be used. A friend of mine uses hot water with vinegar and turpentine in it. Some house- keepers use Bon-Ami. Some use hot water, with or without washing soda, stripping off the water with a rubber squeegee such as storekeepers use. “When you first move in, and the windows are very grimy. give them a thorough coating with Bon-Ami powder, using a small cloth wrung out of hot water. Leave to dry on window and polish off with large clean cloth. (Paint spots may be removed with a safety razor blade.) On this all housewives are agreed: Never use soap on windows or mirrors. It leaves a fine film of grease practically impossible to re- moyve,, for, unlike your table glasses, which you can plunge into very hot water, the sheet glass cools imme- diately, retaining the grease.” (Helen Luke’s articles for new house- keepers will continue next week.) tion if there will be any more dan-| operation is on the heat.

As for the medical side, we do not | wish to alarm you needlessly, but in the case of the breast, nothing | Should be left to chance. If your | doctor thinks that cancer will devel« |p because of the lump, then the | breast containing the lump should be | removed. It is not possible to say of | every lump in the breast that it is |or is not a cancer, but if such a | chance exists, it is best to remove | the breast. | In these cases, only physicians | with wide experience in breast can- | cer are the best judges of procedure. |If it is at all possible, we would | 2dvise you to take your wife again j to he Buffalo State Institute (an excellent hospital) and ask them very definitely: 1—If the lump is at all suspicious of cancer. 2—Whether they advise operation at present and what type of opera- tion. On the basis of their advice, you can proceed and make such ar= rangements for operation or treat- ment as you can afford. If you | cannot pay your doctor you may | Teach some arrangement for opera- | tion at the State Institute. THEY’RE ON THE JOB!
