dates. Everywhere one goes one
finds the militants who had for some
time been discouraged, becominq
enthusiastic for the cause of emanci-
patton.
Scores of speakers are touring the
district concretizing this sentiment
into org" nizational results for our
Party. The platform of the Work
er (Communist) Party has met
with an unprecedented response.
thousands of copies being sold all
over the district.
Communist literature exposing the
role of the republican and democratic
parties and the treachery and vacil-
lation of the socialist and farmer
labor parties is being received every
where with a splendid response from
the workers of the Northwest. who
have militant traditions and desire
an independent political party of
their own.
To carry on this work in a
thorough fashion we need money.
Time after time we have had to dis
appoint hundreds of workers who de-
sired to hear the Communist posi-
ton because of lack of funds with
which to send speakers.
Touring District 9 is like touring
Europe. The Mesaba Iron Range,
producing three-ouarters of the iron
ore produced in the United States. is
a veritable breeding ground for dis
content. Lack of finances keep us
from carrying on activity as W?
should. Poor farmers, who have
been cropping around for a medium
thru which to carry on a fight for
bare justice, are EAGERLY looking to
our Party as the only force putting
forward their real views and aspira-
tions. We are unable to measure up
to their demands thru lack of funds.
The $4,000 Election CAMPAIGN
Drive comes at the proper time. With
more support we in the Northwest
can increase our support and vote
fifty per cent. Our District Exec
utive Committee decided at its last
meeting to endorse the drive; to
urge the workers thruout the coun-
try to "Give till it hurts" We need

on the big Communist push.

Workers Made Slaves,
Correspondent Says

In the power house of the New
York City Children's Hospital on
Randall Island, a most intense ex-
ploitation and inhuman speed up
system constitute the order of the
day.

civil service ones, live and work I'M

are given the cheapest and non-nu-
tritious grade of food and are con-
tinuously brow-beaten and driven
around by the arrogant and egoistic
boss sergeant.
Shovelling and wheeling coal and
ashes, cleaning out hot fire boxes,
oiling, wiping and scabbing on the
dock workers by unloading the coal
boats are some of the many jobs
held by the non-civil service en-
ployees.
These lowly paid monthly workers
live on the island and are there
fore ever subject to the vigilant
gaze of the bosses or the stool pige-
ons. One of the lowest and most
conspicuous and obvious stool pige-
ons in the place is reputed to be
receiving seven and quarter dol
lars day for playing the role OF
Judas.
Glass collaboration is not yet
visible in this power house. The boss
seizes every opportunity of demon
strating his economic supremacy or

Arrest Even Children.
During a period of two weeks,
starting on Sunday, Oct. 7, at least
ID Communists (14-year-old children
and grown-ups alike) were arrested
and jailed for distributing "Red"
propaganda among the U. s. sailors
and nsrines, boy scouts and girl
scouts, in public schools and at the
University of Southern California,
etc.
1t is charged that a number of
workers were held in Jail from &c
hours to eight days-incommuni-
cado. That means that they were
not permitted to see even an attor-
ney.
Several victims of the October
police terror are out on bail, the
amount of which was fixed at from
$1,000 to $500. Being unable to
make arrangement for bail, four
workers are still in Jail, as far as
the writer knows. The federal au-
thorities are trying to deport a
number of Communists.

FEEL incapable of reporting all
that was accomplished by the
Krdssin expedition, for all that we
lived thru aboard our ice-breaker
was extremely stirring.
Why was the Krassin chosen to
undertake the rescue of the italian
expedition? A few days after the
last radio message was received from
the dirigi0,e Italia, had converse
ton with the Italian consul at Len
ingraI ami | advised him that the
only way 10 carry on the search for
the imperiled expedition was to send
a powerful Soviet ice-breaker into
Polar waters.
Mr.. Spano informed his govern
ment by telegram. But neither did
the Rescue Committee of Ossoviak-
him, nor I, receive an answer for
several days. l learned with JOY
that the Ossoviakhim had formed an
Italia Committee of~Rescue in Mos
COW and that Comrades Ounchlikt
and Kameneva were taking part in
it.
This committee undertook its work
with remarkable energy. With as
topishing rapidity it organized the
Malygin expedition, with V. Wise at
its head. However, when it was
learned that the Mobile group was
to the northeast of Svalbard, the
committee decided that it was in
dispensible to send more powerful
ice-breaker into this region, where
the ice conditions rendered all other
vessels impracticable.
The Committee charged me with
the task of convoking special com.
mittee to decide which of the ice.
breakers, beside the Malygin, ought
to be sent. After a detailed con
sideration of this question, the Kras
sin was unanimously chosen as thu
most powerful of all. The Rescue
Committee, which rallied to this de
cision with a rapidity necessary un
der the circumstances, gave the or
der to prepare the ice-breaker fol
departure.
An infinite number of urgent dis
patches were exchanged between
Moscow and Leningrad. One wa
forced to be literally seated at tht
telephone night and day, TIL,
preparatory work began. The ex
petition was placed under the direc
ton of committee of three: Samoil
ovitch, Grass and Tchoukhnovsky
The first was named chief of the ex
petition.
We faced very great difficulties il
the chartering and the repairing o
the ice-breaker, which had beef
destined for the dry-dock. However
thanks to collective work, to the co
operation of social organizations, O
ale organs of the Communist Party
of the trade unions and of the gov
eminent, and above all thanks to tn
workers of the port of Leningrat
we succeeded in putting out to Sc
five days after we had received tn
order to prepare the expedition.

EVEN those who are not sailors can

impossible to take to sea with the
amassed cargo in disorder on the
deck of our ice-breaker. But what
was to be done? Time was precious.

was not mistaken. From the
first day the conditions of naviga-
ton were very favorable. On the
fourth day the Kfassin arrived at
Belt and on June "a we arrived at
Bergen to take on coal.
At the coast of Denmark we re-
ceived some foreign newspapers,
from which we learned with what
interest the European press followed
every step taken by our Krossin. In
Norway the population showed SYM
pathy with US; during our stay in
Bergen we were acclaimed more than
once. Everybody attributed great
Importance to the appearance Of the
Rrassin in Polar waters. "Now, one
can be, tranquil" they thought, "for
the giant Krdssin will help every
body"

Yes, that was made possible,
thanks to unwearying rapidity, to

seized. We worked in feverish
