100000 NEW CARS

Five million new automobiles will be produced
in the United States during 1929, according to an
estimate by Alvan McCauley, president of the Ma
tional Automobile Chamber Of Commerce, predic-
ton quite in line with the judgment of other OBJ
servers of the industry.
This increase after allowing for old cars
strapped, would bring the total number of automo-
biles to an average of one for each family. Of
course it will be long time before every family
really possesses an automobile, but more and more
families owning two cars, while a good many
own several. It is estimated that about 100000
families now own more than one car each.
writer in the New York Times quotes a
high Russian official who cantrasts living standards
in America with those in Russia and says: "Your
aim in America is for every family to have auto
mobile; in Russia all aim for is to see that
every man has shirt.
People with Socialistic or Communistic tend
encies, as well as those who have not, may get some
food for though from that remark.

NUISANCE ADVERTISING

The following letter signed Zone House-Wi
appeared in the Minneapolis Journal
GAS housewife 1 should like to protest pub
licity against the nuisance advertising we have to
contend with
'.First, the ever-present agent and peddler that
comes to our door. Second the sending of various
articles through the mail, which we are asked to
examine, then keep and send the money for or else
to return.
Then, last but not least, the teiephoning adj
vertising pest, which method, l am sorry to say is
sometimes used by legitimate business firms,
Il wish this letter could arouse enough public
sentiment among housewives, that of US would
make it pay for such advertising or selling to -four
ish.
''These methods might be welcome in isolated
rural communities, but in the city, let's patronze
the dealers who live here pay taxes here trade here
themselves and when they wish to advertise use the
public press, so that housewives can take time to
read it or not as we see it. In the end, we'll prob
ably get better quality and pay less both in time,
practice and money.-Marshan News-Messenger
Col A. j. Halstead, for many years one of the
prominent editors of the state, publishing the
Bralnerd Tribune, passed away Jan. 80. Mr.. Hal
stead served the Minnesota Editorial Association as
president; he was civic leader in his community
for years. The colonel was staunch friend and

other old newspaper friends in the state, extends
sincere sympathy to the family in their bereave-
ment.
The latter part of last week the Herald editor
received communication from fellow signing
himself A. p. Gayner, Chicago. The tone of the
letter would lead to believe that he was peeved
over the editorial criticism made by this paper of the
vote OF United States Senator Blaine of Wisconsin
on the Kellogg peace treaty The fellows vulgarity
indicates that his low brow tendencies are well de-
veloped. The Herald caters to clientele of
at least average intelligence and quite naturally we

RAMSAY Macdonald came down

about war to the Senate.
H was allowed to stand in the

He did not talk about any of the
details Of the naval bargain on which
the United States and Britain are
still deadlocked. He referred to

Things That

BULLETIN.

The following Letter is from a
worker in a mill in a village located
about $50 miles from Gastonia.
His story of unbelievable misery
suffered by the mill workers in his
townw will show to every worker
the necessity of organizing these
workers for the coming great strug-

copies of the Daily Worker to every
mill town and village in the South.
Dear Friend:
l am writing you a few lines to
let you know that l got those papers
all OK. and was glad to get them.
But listen, don't you send any more
to -. So write your speaker in
Charlotte to write no more to -,
N. C. The boss is watching and the
one that looks after the company
stor is postmastr also. So you send
my mail to -. l am a friend to
the reds.
l have got a wife and six children
and | have not got any money, and
if they were to throw me out now
| would not know hardly what l
would do.
You know l have worked at the
mills all my life. I went to work
when was seven years old, / am
now 81, and l never have saved any,
thing, and l have lived hard at my
table and wore always sorrow cloth
ing. Now my health is gone because
of being overworked.
Now the man worked for is rich,
and what chance have l in life? The
reds is on the right side after all.
My friend, / would like to sit and
talk with you one hour, and tell you
about things that l have come thru
in life. Say, | can tell you things
that if you got any heart at all it
will bring tears in your eyes. Say,

No longer than last winter 1 saw
them lay and die with bloody mat

the company would not let them
have anything to eat out of their
store, neither would they let them
have coal to make them fire. They
would tell them, if they got we'll and
went back to work, then they would
get some more. But lots of them
died for the need of things they
could not get.
Say, what l am telling you is the
truth and l can prove it. Say, be

lions of dollars worth of produce rot

irving hourly to further clog the

last night were maintaining a stran-

veiled boasts of boss truckmen on
Sunday that the class-collaboration-

House; Strike Goes On

MARION, N. Y, Oct. T.
Judge w. F. Harding today
continued his hearing of the
witnesses to the slaughter of
five strikers and wounding
of many more before the gates
of the Marion Manufacturing
Co. here Wednesday.
In spite of every effort of the
judge and the state prosecutors.
more strikers testified to the brutal,
and unprovoked assault of the po-
lice on the mass picket line at the
Marion mill, and told of the firing
of tear gas and bullets into the un-
armed crowd.
Shooting Off Gas"
Sam Bradley, striker, the first
witness, described the scene in front
of the mill.
"When l got there" he said, "the
law was inside the mill gate and
there was a crowd in the road"
81 heard Sheriff Adkins say for
everyone to stand back and l heard
Adam Hunt who is mill foreman
say for anyone who wanted to go
to work to come on"
"Then Adkins and Allie Stephen
began shooting off gas and I saw
George Jonas raise his stick like he
was going to hit the sheriff but I
didn't see him hit him.
"Then l heard a shot. 1t was
from down where the law was in
the gate.
81 thought it was blank and l
stayed right there. Then there was
a lot of shooting and I saw Sam
Vickers fall dead. Then l knew it
wasn't blanks they was shooting and
ran"
"Who did you see shooting?"
asked the solicitor.
81 saw Broad Robbins, Forest
Smith, Ed Cannon, Jim Owen, Webb
Fender and that light headed man
sitting over in the corner" he said.
U.T.W. Still Misleading.
The United Textile Workers,
whose officials sold the Marion
strikers into blacklist agreement
several weeks ago, are still pretend
ing to lead the renewed strike which
was initiated with the Marion mas
sacre. Francis j. German, who Sat-
urday offered the Marion Manufac-
turing Co. a compromise settlement,
today called conference of his fell
low bureaucrats in Marion to dis
cuss the situation.
One of them, William Ross, has
allowed his friends to appeal for a
guard of militia around his house.
