Exposure OF
Housing Evll
Well Received

The fact that The Daily Worker
is now engaged in exposing the
housing conditions in lower Harlem,
with its intricate system of racial
barriers, has awakened much interest
among the Latin American workers.
While on his trip from house to
house, the Daily Worker investigator
found that the Daily Worker had
achieved much higher regree Of
POPULARITY with workers in lower Har-
dem that he at first suspected.
In the office Of the American
Porto Rican League, a benefit
society, he found a Porto Rican
Negro office worker, who had even
read the Daily orker while in
Porto Rico and was now a daily
reader Of it.
In alarge number of houses that
he visited, the Daily Worker in
vestigator, found that news OF the
housing campaign carried on by the
Daily Worker had preceded him.
One Yatin American worker, who
had been unemployed for six months,
said that friends of his had told him
of the exposures in the Daily Work
er and that he was now reading it
regularly.
In many other instances it was
found that the exposure of housing
conditions and the racial prejudice
instilled by the explorers, had arous-
ed great interest among the workers

SAN FRANCISCO, Calf. (By
6aiD The Party Building Drive in
District 10, although in its initial
tage, has already resulted in the
organization of three very important
luclei. One in the Richmond Pull
nan shops employing 1900 workers
With four members, another shop

Columbia steel-nill of Pittsburgh

AIDES is working in shop of 1000
workers. and shop nucleus will be

New Organizations.
The Party had no units before in
,ither cities and with the exception
If two, the comrades are new mem
jers. In spite Of the good posi-
)ilities which prevailed for the past
,ears, the former district leadership
neglected this work Of building the
Party, leading to serious loss in
membership, especially among the
oroletarian elements. Both Rich
nond and Pittsburgh are in the
vicinity of San Francisco, while
Sacramento is a city of population
If 10000, with it's many packing
houses, machine and car-shops, pay
ng starvation wages to the large
number Of Mexican, Negro, Japanese
ind other workers.
Train New Members.
The District Committee, in spite
# the difficulties created by the dual
organization of dickson, Manus, etc.
Who were expelled from the Party
or their splitting activities and vio-
stiols Of discipline, decided right
fter it was organized to go after
hese places which were waiting for
he Party to reach them. Comrades
we're assigned to different cities with
ne instruction that they spend sew
.ral days there, going after the
leaders CT the Party press and other
3ytnpathizefs until the unit is
formed.
Thus the two nuclei were organized
BY Morris, the East Bay section
lrganizer, while comrade Daniels
formed the unit in Sacramento.
These comrades will also attend the
meetings as instructors, training the
aew members for the very i'm
portant work before them.
With such good beginning, it is
certain that the new leadership in
District 13 will prove that California
is not a tourist state" only, and
The instructions of the Communist
international Open Letter regarding
proletarianization and the building
Of shop-nuclei will be carried out,
putting an end to the right wing

past.

Pass Death Penalty
Bill in Mich. Senate

LANSING, Mich, May 3.-The
state senate yesterday concurred in
the house amendment to the bill pro-
viding the death penalty for first
degree murder. The senate had
previously passed the bill specify
ing that the question be submitted
to Michigan voters next year, but
the house in passing the bill yester-
Gay eliminated the referendum
clause. The bill will thus be added
to existing anti-working class legis-
lation, since workers are periodically
framed on murder charges.

STRIKE RELIEF
MASS MEETINGS
Southern Strike Wins
If Workers Send Food"

Scores of mass meetings and tag
days to raise funds for the strik-
ing textile workers of the South are
beine held by branches of the Work
ers International Relief throughout
the country, Alfred Wagenknecht,
executive secretary of the W.LR.,
Union Square, New York, an
nouned last night.
"The entire machinery of the
Workers International Relief" said
Wagenknecht, 'is now being utilized
to raise as much funds as possible.
The WI.R. now has three relief dis
tfibution centers in North Carolina,
in Gastonia, Pineville and Lexing-
ton, while arrangements to open
others are under consideration.
Friedman is now in Boston and
will visit Providence, New Bedford,
Fall River and many other Massa-
chusetts owns, especially textile
centers, where the workers will be
urged to come to the support of
their fellow workers Of the South.

"Miss Rudd is in Chicago, where
she is assisting Lydia Beidel, secre-
tary of the Chicago local of the
WI.R. mobilizing the local labor
movement in the campaign for
funds. She will soon start on a
tour of Illinois, also visiting Mil
waukee and st. Louis. In addition
to the textile centers of New Eng

ganizer Friedman, relief committees
are to be organized in Pennsylvania

tivities are going rapidly forward in
the middle western and southwest

in the last few days, 16 W.I.R. To-
cal secretaries have gone into &C.
ton and have started to raise funds
f., the striking textile workers, in
Arkansas, Iowa, Oklahoma, Kansas,
Missouri, Utah, Texas, Colorado,
and Wyoming. Two of these secre-
taries are in Alaska. These new
branches of the WI.R. are not be-
ing organized on temporary basis,
but will be continued as permanent
sections of the W.I.R. after the
strike ends, so they will be able to
conduct relief work in future strike
situations. In this way, great deal
of time will be saved, and the
amount of money raised in the early
days of the struggle will be much
larger. This will be an important
step forward in ur work of relief.

in the White House, but elated that
his successor is one counted not only
friend but hometown neighbor.
AS President Herbert Hoover adjusted
himself to his new surroundings and
new responsibilities, his fellow citizens
who had come by tens of thousands
to celebrate his induction as their leader

vious and far-f1ung paths.
They carried with them vivid
memories of an historic tableau on
Capitol Hill, the principal actors in
which were a sturdy figure with up
raised hand. robed Chief Justice with
Bible and a familiar slighter figure
withdrawing from the spotlight.
Their minds were still awhirl with
flashes Of the panorama of umbrellas
and raincoats, which stretched out, fam
like, from the venerable east steps of
the Capitol; Of mighty aircraft roaring
through the misty. torrent-loosing skies;
of open autopnobiles from which the new

The departing guests left behind them

Uttered with paper mulch, festooned

through to Lakehurst, N. j., last night
The airships remaining here are the

sent here by the Navy from Lakehurst.
All four came down at Boiling late yes
terday afternoon when they found the
fog too thick for safe flying.
This morning. the TC-i0, commanded
by Capt. William J. Flood of this city,
took off at 8:45 o'clock to return to
Langley Field, but ran into dense fog
and was forced back. Motor trouble
also developed.
The TC-5 had both motors soaked
through by last nights rains and was
unable to start this morning because of
ignition trouble, which was repaired
later in the day.

Of Arms to Mexico
BY the Associated Press.


President Hoover sees no reason
to disturb the policy under which
shipments of arms and munitions
from the United States for the
Mexican government have been
permitted under license during
the last five years.
1t was explained at the White
House today that licenses fer
