Federal Terror Hits Farmers By a Farmer Correspondent BISMARCK, N. D.—At least seven farmers have been arrested, and charged with conspiracy to defraud the government in Eastern Montana during the last few days. The cap- italist press a few days ago an- nounced that | Westby, Mont., farmer, has been ar- rested in Minot, North Dakota, and would be tried in the Federal Court there. Others were being sought, with the result noted above. The case is the result of a Sears-Roebuck sale that was carried through in September, 1933, in Di- vide County, North Dakota, where the mass resistance of the farmers to a forced sale resulted in the to- tal sum of $2.44 for the seller. This attack against the farmers is the beginning of a new wave of | attempting to crush the resistance of the farmers to the mass impov- erishment evident everywhere. Us- ing this case, the government hopes ‘to be able to break the organized |resistance growing stronger day by day. The United Farmers League is rallying its forces for struggle against this attack, and will rally | the other farmers’ organizations for jthe support and defense of the farmers.

This last year, 1934, taxes are payable Feb. 1, 1935. | After that the interest is 1 per cent |a month until August. Then the |farm is advertised and sold, which will make it cost twice as much to redeem. For 1934 my valuation was | raised three-fifths over that of 1933.) | In 1933 I was forced to let the state get my 69 acres of pasture | for non-payment of taxes. A few | months later I got a chance to bor- row the money to redeem it, which |I thought would be enough, So I made an application. It sold for | $25 taxes. | for $86.25; clerk’s fees $7.50, attor- |ney’s fee $10, notary fee 75 cents, | leaving a total of $104.50.

Our state legislature passed a bill last summer to allow all land sold to the state to be redeemed by} the original owners at one dollar per | acre, one-fourth down and one-| | fourth payments each year for three | years.

Also this board interlocks with | | the Rehabilitation Board which will] take an active part in putting over | the Taylor Act. It is plain to see that the small stock man is tied | down with an economic lariat rope | and is at the mercy of the big stock | |men who have the government now | j acting as a strong man to clear the} range. By withholding relief, credit and feed loans, capitalism will try to put over the Wallace program of | elimination of farmers in the stock | country from production and forc-| ing them to the subsistence plots and labor camps. Capitalist columnists, quick to jump to the aid of their masters, herald the rehabilitation scheme as |a “good thing” for agriculture and suggest the addition of game to the stock units so that the idle rich| could come and hunt. Like the lords| of England and Scotland hunted on the game preserves after the peas- | ants had been herded out by the) King’s soldier’s so will the American capitalists hunt after the New Deal has driven out the homesteader and locked him in a subsistence farm. This situation calls for a militant Program of struggle for the small stock man.

As the wheels of capitalism slowly turn once again the correctness of the Communist program for the small farmer stands out in bold faced type.

Direct Relief Cut In Florida By a Worker Correspondent INGLIS, Fla—Our President is figuring on putting another load of | money for the crooks and grafters | to hoard up, and those that really need must go without even a can of beef that a hog would grunt at and walk away from. | Over three months ago, five! pounds of rice, a can of beef and} @ pound of rank butter were handed out. The rice was done away with a} few weeks later. Then fifteen pounds | of potatoes were handed out, also the beef and butter. Six weeks ago. all of that was cut off direct relief. Only those that | worked got the staple groceries, such as they were. They got the pay, also potatoes and the remains of what people in other places wouldn’t take. We have here folks that are unable to work even if they did get a job. The paymaster can ride around in a big car. He has to have a secre- tary to paddle after him to carry his pad and pencil. He sits around trying to look wise and make people think he is important. He gets his pay from the F.E.R.A., loads his sack with things that those who need it should get. Then he goes off whistling and still looking for more, Those that get it do not need it, |and those that need it must go with- out.

Try to Deprive Vet Of Newsstand By a Worker Correspondent NEW YORK.—I am a disabled war veteran that got permission and a license from the city to operate a@ news stand at East 98th Street and Rutland Road in 1932. This is my only means of making @ living, still there are people that are trying to deprive me of this means. The owner of a local candy store, Mrs. Nurom, has offered me $1,000 for the stand. I turned this down, as the stand is my only means of making a livelihood. After that a real reign of terror has been directed against me. I was assaulted once, my stand has been held up. The man that beat me up was the son-in-law of this Mrs. Nurom. After it was proven in court that he committed the as- sault, he only got six months pro- bation.

It is our. only hope. And for the first time the hungry and oppressed are turning toward the only thing that can really save them—Communism. Let those who have tricked and duped and be- trayed us these past four starving | years enjoy their Judas fruits while | they may. We cannot be blamed for taking | the wrong trail. We did not have/| the chance to learn of Communism. But now we have, and are doing it. | All these years did the W.L.U. andj the V.I.A. improve our wretched conditions? Not a bit. But every leader in the gang did try for polit- ical control by our votes. What is done now that they have some con- trol? The very first thing the V.1.A. did at Weatherford, when its advice | was asked, was to deprive starving families against whom they had a grudge. of fire wood. Today in the blizzard suffering is intense, little children sit with freezing hands, Here in Clinton we elected some of the leaders to the city commis- sion. They still sit there comfortably. And we—well, we're forgotten in our | miserable shacks where we can sit. It's the whole story over western Oklahoma. The gang runs off after Marland and his silk hat, struggling | for personal power. The rest of us starve, watch our families grow thinner each day. The government's butchering program has stripped our country of meat, has plowed under our food. Prices at the stores are impossible to pay. Marland sits in the state house. and like Marie Antoinette, who cold-bloodedly sug- gested cake while the starving Sereamed for bread, worries about a sick dog while thousands of Okla- homa babies wail for milk, This is the New Deal! But there 1s one streak of light on this horribly dark horizon — and that light is Communism. We have that, and we are going to use it. This must be the last win- ter of terror. Organization into Communistic units must begin now and flourish widely. Else we will perish under the insane policy of stripping the country of food, and duping our votes away from us. Comrades in western Oklahoma, unite! Brandler’s Delicatessen Struck by F. W. I. U. By a Worker Correspondent NEW YORK.—The Bandler’s de- licatessen and restaurant has been called out on strike by the Food Workers Industrial Union, Local 123. Bandler’s is known as the worst open shop in Jamaica, N. Y. Last week, four dishwashers, cne bus boy and one counterman were fired for union activity. Bandler is the worst enemy of labor in the Jamaica taurant industry. The employes re- ceive less pay than in any organized or unorganized shop in N. Y. Wait- Tesses, for example receive $2 a week pay. Besides Bandler’s forces them to pay from their tips 25¢ a day for his head-waitress who, incidently happens to be a very close girl friend of his. In short nineteen waitreses are forced by Bandler to maintain a stool pigeon from their miserable ‘wages, Bandler’s is the main force whom the bosses are backing to block further organization. That is why the strike was called in Bandler's. This is why this strike means so much to us in our fight for better conditions. The strikers are receiv- ing support from the A. F. of L.

I began to eat again and gradually my ap- petite came back to me. But. as I said, periodically my stomach is put jout of commission. The trouble is |that I can’t trace the source. I go jour for lunch, am perfectly hungry, jeat to satiety, enjov it, but do not over-eat. A few hours later my mouth feels sour, salty. People ad- vised me to take milk of magnesia, and it helped. but this condition repeats itself freauently. ie ia Our Reply You must realize that we cannot diagnose your case specifically from merely reading your symptoms. A proper diagnosis and consequently proper and specific treatment can only be instituted after one has a history plus proper laboratory and physical examination. This is par- ticularly true when referable to the stomach and intestines. A very common cause for a bad taste in the mouth is infected teeth or gums. Also in view of a poor appetite and vague abdominal dis- comfort constipation mav be the source of the difficulty. The pains over your upper abdomen is prob- ably due to gaseous distention of the bowel as part of this picture. However, you would do well to con- sult a competent physician to rule out more serious trouble of the stomach or gall-bladder. Briefly, in tabulated form, is our treatment for constipation with no apparent cause: Learn the bowel habit; always take the time and effort, even if at first it is in vain, to try and have a daily bowel movement at a cer- tain constant time every day. No one should be too busy to take the time to educate a sluggish bowel into a natural habit. Proper exercise is important even if vou work all day. Outdoor sports, swimming. walks. etc., are in order. During the working hours we sit in one place usually and use only cer- tain muscles. conseovently the worker frequently says. “T get plenty of exercise at the machine all day.” Diet—For the tonic type of con- stipation, where a hard. thin, small frequent stool is seen. remove buiky foods and roughage from the diet. Rest, sleep, worry-free existence helps. This type is rarely seen in our capitalist friends, but common in workers. For the atonic type where a large, bulky( infrequent stool is present, eat plenty of bulky, coarse Yood and roughage as in cabbage, lettuce, whole wheat, gustled meats, etc. Ab- dominal massage will help here also. Correct any underlying infection of the teeth, intestine, hemorrhoids, etc. Use mineral oil when a cathartic js necessary, but don’t develop the laxative habit. Sis Seser CHRONIC BRONCHITIS (Cont'd) Comrade H. G, K., a knitgoods worker of New York. writes: “I have been troubled with a cough for eight years. With my coughing T bring out bronchial spit. At times I cough blood on such occasions as when dashing into the water in the summer, running the track about three times or when doing other strenuous work. ae Our Reply In answer to your question, it 1s impossible to state from your ac~ count what the cause of your trouble is. You were told you had chronic bronchitis and you were given cough medicine. But that will not cure you. The important thing is to find out what is the cause of the chronic bronchitis. Besides having an X-ray taken, there are other tests that must be performed in order to find out the cause of the bronchitis and, therefore, to treat you effectively. The clinic you have attended and your private doctor have not done everything that is necessary. We would advise you to apply to a clinie that specializes in chest diseases, such as, Bellevue Hospital or New York Hospital. . eee Name to be Announced The name of the new health magazine of the Medical Advisory Board will appear in Saturday's is- sue of the Daily Worker in this column.
