Sawmill Camp Ruled by Spies and Drunkards By a Lumber Worker Correspondent | EVERETT, Wash—I would like to call your attention to the saw- mill camp of Klement and Kennedy at Forston, Wash., in Snohomish County. This camp is somewhat worse then a good many others in this district. Klement, one of the owners, got his start as a bartender, robbing workingmen while they were drunk. He and his wife are still doing it, only in a different way. The condi- tions are so rotten that he can not. keep a decent crew, therefore he thrives on stool pigeons, seis, canned heat addicts, suckers, etc., both married and single. The foreman, L. L. Blundell, a large bulldozer, is mentally defi- cient and half drunk most of the time. He is supplied with moon- hine by a rottén sucker named Bill Williams. The tallyman, named Hart, who was once a peity officer in the Navy, is the world’s champion stool pizeon. I would also like to mention the bull-cook, who is an enemy to all workers, and the night watchman is plenty phoney, too. Mosi of them who had been there a long time inter-marry in the camp and the surrounding district. 89 they soon will all be related to each other. A decent worker, lock- ing for a livinz, who is shipped there from Seattle and broke, is in a hard fix.

Comrade Editor: I have been a reader of the Daily Worker for about a year. In that | time it has become a necessity. In a time like this, when there is so }much confusion about what is wrong with our present system, the “Daily,” with its clear Marxian | analysis, has kept me from being | confused by such demagogues as | Coughlin and his National Union for Social Justice. I listen to his talks every Sun- | day. And the more I listen to him, |the more I am convinced that the Communist Party is justified in its stand agains: organized religion. | Coughlin is doing all in his power | to lead the confuscd workers into fascism. He is doing as Hitler did) in Germany, knocking the Commu- nist and not the capitalist system, but just certain capitalists; making the workers think thet DuPont |plone is the cause of war, when it jis the whole capitalist system | which breeds war and starvation. He telis us that just ceriain bad bankers are the cause of our star- Our Readers should have @ redistribution of our | wealth. How does he intend to do | this? Does he want us to take the | means of production and the wealth out of the hands of these bankers and capitalists? No, he says, this would never do. I believe in pri- _vate property, The majority of us (workers have no private property. If we do manage to save some money by denying ourselves many things and pay down on a home, | many times it is taken away irom |us by the mortgage holders. He knocks DuPont because he makes a profit out of wars. Yet he openly supports wars in one point of his program where he says, I believe in the conscription of cap- ital and men in case of a war to protect, our country. This is very good for the capitalist, as he is enly putting up the capital and in re- turn his foreign interests are pro- tected, or new markets are taken. over for his exploitation, Whereas in the case of us workers, we do the fighting and many of us are killed or wounded, Maybe we gain a hero's medal which later gets to the, pawnshop for the price of a méal. All of these things should open our é@yes to the program of the Communist Party, the only Party with the real program for the} working clecs. Coughlin knows this | better than anybody else.

D.—When it was announced here on Dec. 23 that the | week's relief checks had not arrived, workers on relief walked off théir job. Joined by some farmers they marched to the relief office. The nervous officials managed to shut some of them out, but most of them crowded into the director's office demanding either their checks or grocery orders. At first the officials said the checks were not there beceuse the government had run short of funds and that they could not say when or if the checks would arrive. Asked if they and their office force got their's, they had to admit thay did. This increased the militancy of the workers. They refused to leave without some definite promises of immediate action. The frightened director then phoned the state relief administra- tion. This resulted in a promise that the checks would be there that evening or the next morning. The next morning the checks were there. It seéms to me that the demon- stration was carried on correctly. Leadership . was definitely and openly taken by known Commu- nists. The demonstration was or- derly. A committes had been elected to present the demands. Final de- cisions were made by the assembled workers and farmers. The only weakness I could see was that the marchers did not go into the relief building in a solid enough body so that it was possible for the door to be shut before all of them got in. There stem; to be a definite plan under way by the government after the election to see how much of a cut in relief the workers and farm- ers will stand without resorting to mass action. This is the second re- lief check they have tried to hold back. While out here in the wide open spaces communication is rather slow, information indicetes that where the farmers and workers demonstrated against the holding up of these relief checks either the checks were delivered or groceries were given. Where nothing was done they have not gotten these checks or anything elst. We must get thess facts to the wotkers and farmers, | going on for over fifty years in these | Woodside, L.
