Letters from Our
Readers

To the Editor:-This is in apprecia-
ton OF the article Women as Pro-
pagandists in DAILY WORKER Of
Dec IA. Altho had been student
Of the practical kind in this matter for
twenty years It had never really dawn
ed upon me fully the possibilities of
women in this line. Wives have bet
ter function than to carelessly and
selfishly spend their husbands money
and to carefully and equally selhshly
kill their husbands inclination to be
active in the labor movement.
Believe me, shall act upon this cue
and make an appeal to every woman
meet. Women of the right kind, |
mean women of independent mind
who can be interested in economic
problems, have wonderful opportuni-
ties. They can change from an idle
and harmful attitude to one Of useful
ness without losing any of their
charm. We need more assertiveness
about this change. Your article is just
what need to leave with each house
hold. If printed, just as it is, and
furnished to all who will try to exert
an influence, would take the pains
to leave such printed slip with every
person l meet who takes a concern in
the labor movement. Any person who
once admits concern cannot logically
refuse to take some responsibility for
activity.
Another matter, which l believe you
have not yet touched upon. There is
a sense in which the local labor pa
pers are our first line of contact, and
The DAILY WORKER is the second
line. When they have to, these papers
make a fight. Then we must and will
put our energies into them. Having
no great chain of local papers Of
more advanced kind, it seems we
should make a greater use of them
now. think We should patiently
furnish them such news and notices
as they will print and keep a healthy
and friendly contact with them. This
is beginning to be done in Oakland
and around the Bay, and l am glad to
see it.
Fraternally yours,
p r Cowderv. Oakland Calf

to give John an education and not
have him go to work in his youth.
But, of course, our miserable life as
workers interfered. John, as a boy,
devoured all the bunk stories about
my country" the land Of freedom"
opportunities for ALL" etc. The poor
conditions under which he lived made
him think. Questions crept into his
mind. Why should he be poor, tho
he worked, while those who did not
work became richer? Who, after all,
owned this country? Why did child
labor exist? What should one do
about it?
John began to investigate, and he
found out 80. But I'll spoil your in
terest in the book if l tell you all.
Suffice it to say that after John had
seen all the facts he began to look at
life thru different eyes. He woke up
and became rebel.

P. B. Cowdery, Oakland, Calf.

Dear Comrades: = Now that this
country is supposed to be at the height
of the greatest prosperity ever to be
enjoyed by any nation, what is going
to be done if anything to relieve the
misery and suffering of the poor, and
the millions of unemployed? We have
already seen the reaction begin in this
period of so-called prosperity with the
slump in building and closing down
of factories and the great amount of
unemployed on the labor markets.
We understand there is a surplus of
$500, 100000 in our nations treasury
and our national officialdom seems to
be in a quandary as to placing this
money. Well we would suggest to
President Coolidge, and his official
family to create and establish fund
and use this surplus Of 100000, 900 to
compensate all the aged men and wo-
men and all the unemployed of this
country.
Yours, very truly
Comrade Carl Greb, San Diego, Cal.

PLOT AGAINST
CO-OPS seen BY
FARM SENATORS
F e S s Amendment Is
Coolidge Ruse
BY LAURENCE TODD,
Federated Press.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-(FP)--
Charging that the Fess substitute for
the McNary-H -Haugen farm relief bill
was designed to utterly destroy the
farmers cooperative marketing as
sociations, democratic and republican
senators alike riddled that measure in
debate. Thereby they defied Presi-
dent Coolidge, who had issued a
formal statement endorsing Fess'
scheme.
While these opponents knew that
Coolidge's public endorsement was
given before Fess offered the most
destructive clause in his measure,
they assumed that the Ohio standpat-
ter did not act in any instance with.
out orders from the White House. The
whipping administered to Fess was
given in the belief that Coolidge
would vince. i&ta n N KEI
Robinson of Arkansas, democratic
floor leader, analyzed the so-called
amortization plan which Fess added
to his $1OO,00O,0OO federal loan fund
measure. He showed that it directed
that when farm cooperative mar
keting association got loan from this
fund, to handle a crop, the associa-
ton should lay an amortization tax
on its members, covering a term of
33 years, for repayment of the loan.
The effect would be to have the as
sociation spend or lose the money
borrowed, whereupon its individual
members would begin to drop out and
no new ones would come in, since
they would be bound for 33 years to
pay back the lost loan. This, said
Robinson, would be the most effective
way that could be devised to destroy
the cooperative marketing movement
among American farmers.
For Armour Co.
Then a clause authorizing the use
of loans for acquiring marketing fa-
cilities was shown up. Caraway and
Hiram Johnson described this as be-
ing scheme to use government
money to pay the Armour Grain Co.
and other corporations some $26,O0O.-
600 for obsolete or useless storage
warehouses worth about $4,000, 900.

that the Grain Corporation, headed by
Gray Silver of the American Farm
Bureau Federation, tried to induce the
farmers to purchase last year.
