AID
OF LAF0LLETTE
EXPLOITS Poems

To the DAILY WORKER.-Th fol.
lowing account of the conditions under
which the workers on the Spreckles'
family sugar plantation live will throw
an interesting light on what the work.
ers can expect from LaFollette, whose
chief hacker is this Sugar King.
The sugar beet growers live to-
gether in little village on company
owned land, Of which they each have
leased a part to grow beets on a share
basis, the company advancing the
money to grow the crop.
The money is parceled out to them
in monthly installments by the com.
pany's agent who goes around to the
growers once a month to ascertain
their needs for the coming month
and he gives them a check to cover
the amount.
At harvest time the company takes
charge of the harvesting and shipping
and gives the grower the market price
which as usual is the very lowest at
harvest time, the suguar barons hav-
ing created the supply and demand
themselves. Then the company set
ties its accounts with the growers.
All the expenses and the money ad.
vanced is deducted from the growers
share and as a result the grower finds
himself in debt to the company, and
he is then given small advance TO
put in another crop.
This system Of peonage on sugar
plantations in which Spreckles is
heavily interested. exists in California.
What can workers expect from LaFol-
letism in view Of this glazing exam.

Letter Constitutes Grave Charge.
If the foregoing letter is genuine,
1t constitutes a graver charge against
Marcus Garvey and his associate lead
ers of the U. N. I. A. than has ever
been written into any grand jury in
dictment. 1t is indeed the kind of
charge that would never be consid-
cred by a grand jury-a charge Of an
offense entirely within the law" and
we'll within the habits of the worst
type Of Negro leaders Of the past fifty
years: the habit of soliciting financial
favors from the enemies of the Negro
people and offering in return to teach
the Negro not to aspire to the rights
which his enemies do not want him to
have.
Against all the charges made
against Garvey by the frame-up gang
of the capitalist government at Wash
Iington, it is the spontaneous impulse
of all intelligent and honest workers,
Negro and white, to defend Garvey.
Every federal grand jury indictment
of Garvey only makes Garvey appear
as a man honest and loyal to his peo-
pie, whom the government hates. If
Garvey's arrest, Imprisonment and
conviction were the only things to be
considered, we should say, Hail, Gar
vey, honest leader of an oppressed
people!"
But the above letter, and long line
of facts of similar nature, seem to can
eel the facts in Garvey's favor.
The letter cannot be dismissed as
unimportant. If this letter is authen-
tic, Garvey feels out the white exploit
ers with a view to finding those who
hate the Negro. Never mind the
CUFF about the rights of humanity
any Negro hater will subscribe to that
which does not mean anything in
practice.) The point is that Garvey,
If he wrote that letter, is looking for
rich white men who are worried be-
cause the Negro "is not prepared to
be satisfied as secondary consider
alton in the social, economic and po-
litical life of the nation" Having
found those who thus hate the Negro
and who wish to keep him as lower
caste in the United States, your hum
BILE and obedient servant" then offers

sociation as an organization in which
the Negro will "be taught not to as.
pire" to equality in America, and
asks the rich man to help morally
or otherwise" to that end.

sentenced to death after being
found guilty of stirring up

Winston Churchill, former Brit
ish colonial secretary, and for
mer president Alexander Mile

sentence and I do not ask any pity

Savinkoff was arrested while cross

He had just come from Paris. The
prisoner was brought to Moscow with
much secrecy.
Plan to Organize Terror.
Savinkoff was put on trial, the state
charging that he came to Russia to
"organize terrorism against Soviet
leaders"
The trial was conducted without a
public prosecutor nor any counsel for
the defense. Savinkoff pleaded his
own case, saying it must be remem-
bered that he organized the assassina-
ton of Minister Pleve and Grand
Duke Sergius, and that he led the
first revolution in 1905.

TO Take Chances.

A large class Of girls In al American

Of them would marry a man whose in
come was but $1,000 a year Not a
single hand was raised. 1t was only
when a salary of $1,000 was mentioned
that any enthusiasm was shown, while
many held out for a higher figure.
The opinions Of most girls the eOun-
try over obviously have undergone a
remarkable transformation in the past
few years.
1t Is significant that the class a.
this case had taken a course In house
mold economics and was familiar with
the science o.. deyislng household
budgets.
The president Of a southern college
recently advised his students not to
consider matrimony on a salary of
less than $4,000 a year. The students
In this case were not drawn from large
cities, where living costs are at their
highest. but irons the country and
small towns or cities They were re-
crulted, however, as a rule from we'll
TODD families.
II naturally might be expected that
the youths IF the large or so-called
fashionable colleges would consider
marriage unjustified except on a much
larger income.
The conclusions reached by the stu
dents of household economics in this
respect win be read with interest by
the great mass of housekeepers. With
characteristic academic thoroughness
the cost Of maintaining home In the
country or city has been calculated to
the penny.
The rent is set down as fixed per.
centage Of the income Allowances
are duly made for food, clothes, edu-
cation and amusements. The figures
mathematically are correct.
According TO these students of eco
Monies. marriage is not justified on a
salary of less than $40 week and
few in some colleges would take q
chance at less.
1t is interesting to note in this con
nection, however, that more than l.,
100000 marriages took place In Amer
lea last year.
