"You have to go to the local super
intendent's Office for permission to
step on the companys grounds" the
deputy said. There is no such rule
generally, but there is your case"
The deputy had remembered my
friends part in the 1922 strike, anil
was trying to get even"
Incidents such as the above are
very common. My attention has been
called to cases where union men wero
fined $500 and costs or more for
such "trespassing." And there are
people naive enough to hold that
America is free country. The coun-
try is democratic only for the bosses
and their lackeys.
Working conditions are rotten. The
Frick wage scale, which is the near
est one TO the union scale, is far be-
low union wages on contract work.
Those union mines which are working
are running so per cent capacity. but
the large majority Of them are still
completely shut Own.
The branches OF the Workers Party
here are all active in raising insur-
ance policies for the DAILY WORK
Err. and are accomplishing great
deal, even tho work has been slack.
The West Brownsville South Slavic
branch has sent in 5000. in donation.
The membership is sure Of raising
10000 before the drive ends.
Yours for Communism,
(signsd) Vincent Ksmenovich.

Editor The DAILY WORKER
About four miles from Brownsville.
Pa, in the Coke Region, is the mining
town known as Brier Hill, the coal
camp of the Buckeye Coal company,
which is a subsidiary OF the Youngs-
town Sheet and Tube Steel company.
A friend OF mine worked there FROM
the time he was Is years old till the
coal strike OF 1922. During the strike
he was secretary OF the Brier Hill
local Of the United Mine Workers Of
America.
After the Cleveland agreement in
1922 my friend went to work in the
union coal field OF district No. but
owing to shut down he was forced
to look for job. After seeking work
in union mines for over four months,
my friend decided TO try his old hunt
ing ground and on Jan. 3 went to
Brier Hill. At every mine there is a
lamp house and usually the mine fore
mans Office is in the lamphouse.
While my friend was waiting here
to see the superintendent about a
job, company deputy came TO him
and asked him II his name was N -
N - My friend said yes. and the
deputy said, Come along" The dep
uty took him in taxi to Squire Hess
Office, and he was booked on charge
OF traspassing. My friend was fined
Sl1.S5, with the alternative Of 80 days
in jail. He explained that he was
merely looking for q job.

American imperialism in it's bid for
world domination. is leading us direct
to another world war. This imperial
istic force is determined to unite the
western hemisphere into solid Am
erican imperialistic block, so as to
strengthen it's position at home, en-.
trench itself from Cape Horn to the
Behring Straits and to throw the Pan
American working class into the next
world war in defense of American i'm.
)erialism.
American imperialism. in its con
uering march thru Latin America, is
cry versatile in its maneuvers. In
lexico, thru its labor-wing, the Pan
01erican Federation of Labor, with
the late but not lamented Gompers as
their chief spokesman, it opposes die
tatorship and sets up capitalist de
mocracy, because that form Of gov
eminent at this time is most suitable

In other republics mentioned above
/. supports local military dictatorship,
lille in others it boldly and forceably
akes over the customs houses, while
gain in others it sets up a United
states military dictatorship. In Ar
gentiEa, Brazil and Chile, which form
a loose united block, it tries to set
these countries at war with one an
other so that it will have pretext
for Interfering.
The Communist press of Pan-Amer
lea has indeed very important Com
inunist task to perform. 1t will, to a
large degree, be held responsible for
making the labor movements of these
countries really acquainted with each
other, to draw them closer together
and to help give them Communist or.
ientation. What do we know about
Latin America? Only what our Com
munist press tells us, and that is very
little. What does Latin America
know about us? Very little, and the
Communist press must tell them.
The Pan-Ameriean Anti-MilltarIst
League.
The duty Of the Communist press is
to carry the Communist message to all
the workers in all America, to herald
the birth Of new organization, "The
Pan-Amcrican Anti-Militarist League"
to call upon all left wing unions and
revolutionary groups to join this
league, to help the speedy unihcation
of all Communist Parties, to encour.

Parties where none exist.

BY J. W. TOMBSTONE.

I'm this, the first birthday of our
~ Bouncing Communist baby, the
DAILY WORKER, one is tempted to
boast of our rapid advancement and
heap laurels upon the only English
Communist Daily in the world. 1t is
truly something to Ne proud of, an
achievement that VIZ did not even
dream of two years ago, and the party
especially the DAILY WORKER staff
can very we'll be complimented for the
work done.
A Long Way To Tipperary.
But, when we look at the tasks be-
fore us, the hard. rough road that we
have yet to travel, what we have done
is as nothing compared to what we
have yet to do. The DAILY WORKER
has not yet struck its proper Com
munist stride-the circulation must
be increased, closer and more familiar
contact must be made with the great
masses of workers, the DAILY
WORKER must become the workers
newspaper,>a paper that the workers
will read and heed, paper that will
be able, thru its columns, to ideologi
cally lead the workers in the struggle
That is the task that is yet ahead
of the DAILY WORKER and the Com
faunist press as a whole. We have
not yet cast off our cloak of isola.
ton. We talk about the America
workers, but what We really mean i,
only the workers of the United States
and, sometimes when we think abou
it, Canada. How much thought, time
or energy do we give to the worl6in
class movements in that great stretch

America, composed of some 20 repub

imately 1O0.0OO.OO0, land of great

Belfast Valuation
Less Than in 1924

The total appropriations for the year
made by the Belfast city government
at its last session are much less than
last year, being $149,943.47 against
sl67,s27.96. The assessors have not as
yet finished their work of valuation
but believe that 1t will be larger than
last year. If the valuation remains
the same. the tax rate will still be ap-
proximately four mills less than last
year, and If the valuation increases the
rate will be in proportion. Last year
the rate was 40 mills, which brings it
down to about As mills.
Among the appropriations is $500 for
State advertising, to be expended in
the Boom Maine campaign. Other
items include $500 for maintenance of
building the Crosby High school; s21,-
600 for general school purposes; for
free high school Crosby, $4,000; fire
department. $4,000; highways and
bridges, $4,000; Red Cross, $500.

1t was estimated that the world

be the. smallest on record. Figures
from the United States department Of

was meanwhile announced, the total

try being 259,000 bushels compared
with 2,923,000 bushels a year ago.
Widespread crop damage from Hes
sian fly in Illinois, Kansas and Me-
braska was also reported. and there
was further cause for disquiet owing
to assertions that on account of low
temperature an Unusually large per-
sentage of seed wheat in Saskatcha-

germinate. Consequent upturns in
