Farmer Offers 500 to DAILY
If 909 Others VIII DO Same

The Daily Worker publishes to-
day a letter that we consider of
the greatest Importance to all work
ers. August Schlemmer, a 71-year-
old farmer of Chisago City, Mimi,
offers to contribute 500 a year to
a Daily Worker Reserve Fund if
999 other workers and sympathizers
will do the same. He suggests that
these $100 contributions be made in
installments of $40 a month.
The suggestion of Comrade
Schlemmer is a challenge to every
reader of the "Daily." One thousand
contributions of $100 year each
would be permanent safeguard
against future financial crises.
Comrade Schlemmer's description of
his circumstances shows that he is
one of the great mass of American
farmers who are forced to wage a
constant bitter struggle for the bar
est necessities of life. He is willing
to make the great sacrifice of con-

Workers Must Safeguard
Worker tor Future
COMRADES:

The campaign to save the Daily Worker to put
tOn firm financial basis, is entering its last lap.
The response of thousands of workers and working
class organizations thruOut the country during the
past few weeks has shown that the Daily Worker is
an absolute necessity to them in their many struggles
The more than $4,000 thus far contributed has
enabled us to pay off the most pressing debts and
to prevent the fighting organ of the American work
ers from suspending publication For mOre.han five
years the Daily Worker has appeared every day de-
spite the untold sacrifices that it required The crisis
that we have just been passing thru brings us face
to face with the necessity of SAFEGUARDING THE
DAILY WORKER FOR THE FUTURE. We want
to prevent recurrence of the situation that nearly
sounded the death-knell of the only working class
paper in the English language in the world. We
want to make unnecessary feversh appeals that place
extra financial burdens the workers. We want to
give the American workers assurance of having
their militant paper every publication day of the
year. leading their struggles fighting against all the
enemies of the working class, fighting for the
throw of capitalism and the establishment of work
ers' and farmers republic.
Safeguarding the Daily Worker for the future
means also defeating the efforts of Morris Hillqut
corporation lawyer and socialist party leader, to
cripple the paper. Robert Minor editor and William
f. Dunne assistant editor, have been indicted on
criminal libel charges at the instgation of Hillqut.
The Daily Worker faces legal battle that will involve large
expenses. 1t battle not much against Hiqut
individual but against the entire scab socialist party CLIQUE

MOB IN FLORIDA
LYNCHES NEGRO
Handed to Murderers
by County Sheriff

BROOKSVILLE, Fla, March 8.
The first lynching of the year
took place here when 18-year-old
Buster Allen was taken from the
Tampa Jail into which he had been
thrown by a plantation and bust
nessmen's sheriff because he was a
Negro accused by some hysterical
idle white woman of "insulting"
her. Allen was mutilated and
hanged from tree about 25 miles
from town, during the night.
The mobsters got hold of him
thru presentation of paper which
the sheriff professed to believe was
an order for his release signed by
the sheriff of fernando county.
He was not actually released, how
ever, but simply handed over to the
mob, which carried him away. No
arrests were made.

REPORT UPRISING
NEAR VERA CRUZ
No Trains Run from
Mexico City

MEXICO CITY, March 5 (UP).-
Reports of revolution, coming from
unofficial sources and thus far un-
confirmed at government sources,
trickled into the capital tonight,
especially from Vera Cruz and the
state of Sonora.
The reports were meager and
without details. They merely said
Mexico was in revolution and made
no mention of who was directing the
subversive movement, or to what
extent, if any, it had gone.
All day the reports have been cir
culated through the capital. Trains
between Mexico City and Vera Cruz
were curtailed, some communications
were down and during the day
trucks loaded with soldiers could be
seen in the streets. This later phase
particularly was noticeable about
Chapultapec Castle, where many of
the capital troops are held.
The revolt is said to be a mill
tary insurrection, at least in its
first phases, under the leadership
of General Jesus Maria Aguirre at
Vera Cruz, where the anti-govern-
ment forces have seized the city
and surrounding towns, and that
Aguirre is acting under compact
with General Francisco Mando and
Governor Fausto Topete of Son.

have taken control of all federal

M u ch Unemployment
in Coal Fields

LANSFORD. Pa, March 3.-The
United Mine Workers of America,
maintained here thru a closed shop
contract and by the support of the
employers, has called a strike of
seven thousand men whos have no
choice but to belong, nominally, to
the U. M. w. A.
The men are being made to strike
for longer work day. The en-
ployer is the Lehigh Coal and Navi-
cation Co. 1t has been operating
it's breaker six hours day. Presi-
dent John Kelly, of Sub-district l
of District of the U. M. w. A.
demands that the work day be ex-
tended two hours.
There is much unemployment in
the coal fields, but the U. M. w. A.
officials do not ask for the use of
more men, only for the longer work
day for those at work. The strike
started Thursday, but the company
is still coyly refusing to act.

PICKETING TODAY

1,400 Strike Arrests
Saturday, VoluntaryTax
Success, Survey Shows

All dressmakers, cloakmakers,
furriers and hemstitchers, who hold
membership in the Needle Trades
Workers Industrial Union, and
other strike sympathizers, will
rally to the dress strike area early
this morning to conduct a mass
picket demonstration.
Defiant of the mass jailings
Hundreds having been arrested
every Monday morning) the work
ers refuse to be intimidated by the
police, and continue their already
highly successful struggle against
the sweat shop system in the dress
trades. The dress strike district
is in the area covered by 35th to
both SITS and Seventh and Eighth
Aves.
Arrests Don't Terrify.
A total of those arrested since
the strike started (about three and
a half weeks ago) shockingly DEM
onstrates how energetic the New
York police force is in aiding the
bosses attempt to break the strike.
Over 1400 have been arrested since
the strike call was issued. Instead
of doing damage to the solidarity
OF the workers, thousands of hith-
erto non-union workers have en-
tered the union, hundreds of shops
were compelled to concede full
union standards and hundreds of
sweat shops were permanently out
of business.
From a survey made by the Joint
Board of the N.T.W.I.U., the re-
sponse of the dressmakers working
in settled shops to the decision of
the membership to give s hours
work for the union, and for the
strike fund, was highly gratifying.
The eight hours for the strike tax
were to have been worked on last
Saturday. Ordinarily no work is
permitted on Saturday since the
strike has won for these workers
the 40-hour five-day week, but spe-
cial permission was granted, by de-
cision of the members to use this
day as "Tax Day."
Announcement was further made
that more detailed figures of the
response to the "taX call" will be
issued at some later date.
March on City Hall.
Over five hundred strike func-
tionaries last Wednesday afternoon
marched down to City Hall and
presented to Mayor Walkers Of
flee a statement demanding free
dom from the tyranny exercized
by the police throughout the strike.
They demanded the immediate
stopping of reign of terror, po-
lice and judicial, that can result in
/ 400 arrests in three weeks. De-
spite this demonstration and pro-
test meetings held Throughout the
strike by several organizations be-
sides the union, the arrests con-
tinued. The same policy of whole
sale arrests is expected to mark
this mornings picketing. But moth
ing can stop the strikers in max
ing full use of their right to picket
the shops where slavery conditions
are being fought, is the sentiment
among the workers.

Discredit Secret Pact

to confirm the Belgian and French
governments denial that they have
entered into a secret military pact

be relentlessly opposed to the

fallen before the Organization

tories signed up in the last two
weeks of the campaign, the Diana
