Rsiun of Terror in Greece.

ATHENS, Greece.-The mask Of
pretense at fairness has now been
torn off the face OF the Greek fascist
government of Pangalos. When the
ministry preceding Pangalos was over
thrown by him he proceeded to re-
lease a number of political prisoners,
leaving their outstanding leaders re-
main in prison. Now, however, a veri-
table reign of terror exists in Greece,
and one of the most important trials
known to that country, the trial Of the
members OF the central committee of
the Communist Party of Greece, is
soon to take place. Nineteen in all
are being sought for. They are being
charged with treason. because they
advocated Characterization to the
point of separation for the national
minorities of Greece. The fact that
Macedonians who advocate this prin-
ciple are subjected to death sentence,
i is quite possible that these nineteen
leaders OF the Greek workers and
peasants. as well as of the national
revolutionary movements, will be sent
to their death by the blood-thirsty
regime of Pangalos. The Greek work
ers appeal to the workers of the en-.
tire world to protest against the
brutal measures of suppression that
have been taken against them.
The terror Is such that the Interna-
tional Glass War Prisoners Commit
tee has been banned by the military
dictatorship.

Union Launches Drive
to Organize General
Drivers in Minneapolis
BY a Worker Correspondent

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Feb. 22.-
The general drivers union in Mime.
apolis is carrying on a city-wide cam
paign to organize the teamsters, de
livery men, truck-drivers, coal-haulers
and helpers. Meetings have been
called of different groups of drivers
The workers have responded in large
numbers. The transformer. truck.
drivers, and coal haulers have been
lined up with some success.
The response of the workers has
shown that they realize the need for
reorganization. Truck drivers and de.
hVery-men have been working for a
fiat weekly wage or on commission
basis and then required to work until
their route is finished. This has
meant working all hours of the day.
Some workers have to work until mid
night without extra pay for their
time. Truck-drivers have been paid
as low as $25 week. Helpers have
been getting 35 and 40 cents and hour
doing the hardest and dirtiest kind OF
work.
Red Top Cab Fights Union.
The Red Top Cab company is firing
its Oldest drivers trying to stop the
movement for organization among the
cab drivers. This drastic action fol-
lowed a betrayal of the men by some
stool-pigeon of the bosses. A recent
incident has shown that the union is
trying to rid itself Of these black-legs.
Stool-pigeon Thrown from Union Hall.
On the night of Feb. IL; there was
an organization meeting of the ash
haulers at the labor hall at 6Ol Fourth
Ave. S. A stool-pigeon by the name
OF Plagman appeared and sought adj
mission to the meeting. Organizer
Roy Wier refused TO let him enter
claiming that he was a stool-pigeon
and that he was responsible for the
affair among the cab drivers. Plag.
man, half-drunk attempted to force
his way into the meeting. He struck
Wier and a scramble followed IN
which the intruder was forcibly eject
ed from the hall.
The movement for organization OF
the general drivers comes at a time
when they need II the most. The gen.
eral drivers should continue their eff
forts to organize in spite Of what the
bosses may do to stop them. II will
be only by militant organization that
they will be able to obtain the condi.
lions that have been taken from them
by the bosses. 49,

that the workers who only get the
same $12 to $22 that we had been
getting were just as anxious for wage
increases and better conditions and
did not trust the company union to
keep the workers in uthe shop but
called upon the Clifton police to aid
them.
When our picket line reached Cliff
ton the police were waiting for us
and told us they would not allow
outsiders" into Clifton to make
trouble" When the strikers pressed
on, they arrested Felix Panarisi, the
chairman of the Botany Mill council.
charging him with disorderly conduct
and sentenced him to 80 days in
Jail. The pickets then went back to
the hall to work out new ways Of
reaching the Forstman- Hoffman work
ers.
Police Club Pickets.
The next day we marched into
Clifton in a peaceful manner sew
eral over 1000 strong. The police
to show their "heroism" and 10y.
atty to the master class assaulted
the pickets. Over 80 were severely
beaten and strikers were arrested.
We decided to let the workers in
the Forstman-Hoffman mill know
what was happening so we called
mass protest meeting. The bosses
did all they could to keep the work
ers from attending this meeting but in
spite of their efforts over 1000 came
to the meeting and today over 700 of
them are out fighting side by side
with us. Before another week is over
we expect to have every worker in
the Forstman-Hoffman mill on strike
for better conditions.
Help Passaic Strikers!
The American labor movement
knows what strikes are. They know
that strikes are not picnics. The
workers here have been making low
wages and they have nothing to fall
back on now in the form of savings.
The workers should see to it that
their contributions come in steadily so
that the barons will not be able to
starve us out and we will stick to-
gether and refuse to go back until all
our demands are granted.

HIGH TAXATION
DRIVES FARMERS
TO BANKRUPTCY
Tillers Leave Soil for In
dustrial Centers
(Ry Farmer Correspondent

BAYVIEW, Skagit County, Wash,
Feb. 22-The conditions Of the farm
ers in this county grows worse and
worse. Lately two wrote articles to
The DAILY WORKER telling of the
conditions in Skagit County and its
vicinity with its numerous fail
ures. Little was said in the articles
about the reasons for these failures.
In this article will try to show why
many of these farmers have failed and
have left the land.
Farmers Seek Loans.
Several years ago the grange prided
itself on being instrumental in get
ting the farmer federal loan bill
across. Thousands of stump farmers
made quick time in taking out these
loans.
After the world war, when prices Of
farm products went down and every.
thing that the farmer buys kept going
up, even the interest that the farmer
pays the government became a great
burden. Much Of what the farmers
raise here is sold pretty near at the
cost of production. But this is the
least of the farmers worries.
This county has one of the highest
taxes in the state-71 mills. Not salts
fed with this high rate of taxation on
the farmers property, the assessors
also try to squeeze as much out Of
the farmers as they possibly can in
other ways.
Ruinous Taxation.
A woman told me the other day that
she lived in tent and that all the
furniture she has is a camp stove and
a board table and that the assessors
demanded she pay $25 in taxes for
these. The assessors declare that a
tax of $50 must be paid regardless of
whether they have any property or
not.
All of these things put together
show why many of the farmers are
going to the wall and those that still
keep up the fight are in very bad cir
cumstances.
Several years ago / was called to
Mt. Vernon to testify before the
chairman of the state equalization
board as to land values. | told him
that If this a move to raise the taxes
on the stump land, then to those
farmers that had made small pay
ments on their homes it would mean
cOnfscation.
Look at the lovely mountains, the
grand Pacific, very fairyland," he
jollied.
"Yes," 1 declared. Zine. But you
can't live on it,"
OF course none of this ever went
into his report. All that was entered
there was the price | paid for the
land. The scenery here is exploited to
the limit in getting the high taxes out
of the farmers.
Now there are several dredgers at
work here building a dyke about nine
miles long, 100 feet thick at the bot
tom and so feet thick at the top and
to be over Is feet high. They claim
there will be 10000 acres of land in
side the dyke when it is completed.
1t has already cost the poor dupes
who bought stock 5000 an acre and
the capitalist papers around here are
filled with tales about this great
scheme to get the farmers hard-earn-
ed cash.

"Erratic Wanderinss.D

Sisson's address was entitled "The
World Turns Right" It's burden was
that 1.-THE erratic wanderings along
by-paths of radicaIism and national
ism have been abandoned and definite
progress along the main travelled
road towards sanity, law and order,
conservatism, under the impelling
force of economic and social law,
marks 1925 as one of the great turn
ing points In our period of history"
Sisson would no doubt include the
late British labor government, LaFol-
lette movement here, and European
socialist or social-coalition govern
ments among "the erratic wander
ings."
He finds that 1.-THE fruits of the
American capitalistic system, which
provides primarily for the private own
ership of property and the freedom of
initiative, are manifested in our con
stantly increasing wealth, growing fl
nancial power, larger industrial ca
pacity, harmonious labor relations,
strong banking position, general com
mercial prosperity, and the living
standards of our people" He thinks
the farmer better off, quite ignoring
the farmers restlessness which even
the daily newspapers record occas-
sionally. And he wants government
to stay out of business-free economic
activity-but be careful about specu-
lation.
