meeting their terror on the picket
line, with the result that New York
capitalism presented me with a day
in one of its many bastilles.
But despite this terrorism the
workers are rallying in ever greater
numbers to the new union and are
forming their picketlines in defiance
of the betrayers and their masters
the bosses. The poor and semi.
poor farmers have also a fight
against the takers in their organi.
cations and must wage struggle
against them thru the United Farm
ers Educational League and must
fight capitalism side by side with
the working class.
Boss Gets Proper Answer.
One of the bosses in a certain
shop picked me out and said, "Why
you are not dressmaker, what are
you doing here?" Of course, q
farmer does not look like dress
maker. But, Mr.. Boss, it makes NO
difference whether l make dresses
or raise food; / am a worker and
the dress strike is my strike because
l have to produce and exist under
the same system of capitalism as the
dressmakers.
I am not altogether paralyzed.
can see and feel the same iron heel
that the other worker. do. And 80
every worker that Is able should
put his all into the strike and fight
the Schlesingers, Hillquits and the
other takers and betrayers. More
workers should be on the picketline
and defy the police terror in New
York.
Greetings to the new Industrial
Union from the Seattle delegation.

Farmer Delegate Takes His
Place on Dress Picket Line

A Washington state farmer
delegate to the Workers Com
munist) Party Convention, now in
session in New York, records in
the letter below his impressions
of the vast unemployment he saw
on the way here, and of the dress
makers strike, which he witnessed
as volunteer picket.
Dear Comrades:-
Just line in regard to some ex-
periences here in New York City
where capitalism is in full swing.
Being farmer from the Pacific
Northwest Seattle, Wash.), l am
more or less isolated from the every
day struggle of the workers in capt.
talist industry. But this trip to
New York certainly leaves very clear
in ones mind the role being played
by the Hillmans, the Hillquits and
all of the traitors of the working
class.
Being one of the Seattle delegates
to the convention of the Workers
(Communist) Party that made the
trip from Seattle to New York
across country in an automobile,
was able to observe that not only
in New York, but also in every town
in every state the oppressive power
of capitalism is in full sway.
Thousands of JObless.
Unemployed by the thousands in
every town large and small, low
wages, long hours and miserable
conditions for the workers. Farmers
all along the line living in poverty
while they feed the rest of the
country. Even out on the deserts
of Arizona and New Mexico, in
Texas and California thousands of
unemployed travelling and hopeless
ly looking for the right to work that
they may barely exist. And then
New York City with its unemployed.
But the thing that strikes me most
is the big strike here in New York,
the strike of the dressmakers being
led by the new Needle Trades Work
ers Industrial Union, which is
struggling against the bosses, the
police, the Bureaucracy of the A.
F.qof L. and the socialist party who
are doing everything in their power
to help the bosses break the strike
and continue the rotten conditions
that they are responsible for. 1t is
inspiring to see the workers break
away from this bunch of betrayers
and putting up a militant struggle
for their new industrial union along
class lines.
Inspiration to Workers.
Surely this struggle going on in
New York will inspire the workers
back on the Pacific Coast to wage
a relentless war on their fake Of
ficials in the A. F. of L. and rally
their forces for struggle against
capitalism and all that goes with it.
Since being in New York l have
been in contact with the police on
three occasions while taking part
in the strike, twice escaping after
arrest from the police and final.

 He left India with eight other students on q French steamer. Their troubles began with the first meal served, The meal consisted largely of meat courses which were taboo for all of the students with the eN- .ption of Mr. Peters were Hindus. They took the matter up with the waiter who agreed to serve only vegetables during the rest of the voyage. At the next meal he brought them eggs.

This amused the skipper greatly, but had the de- sired effect and for the remaining part of the trip they were served generously with fruit and vegetables
 Peters fellow students were bound for various European colleges SC that after he reached England he had to continue the journey alone. He observed many new things upon reaching New York.
 He saw for the first time a sign advertising "hot dogs" to eat, and although he had never heard that Americans did eat dogs it was quite evident that there were by far fewer dogs in the streets of New York than there were in cities of India, he said.
 Mir. Peters was greatly impressed by the attention given to the boys and girls in this country, for in In, dia they have few privileges. 'Ther" are but few places in India for boys to meet and none so magnificent as your Y. NJ. C. A." he said. "There are no club rooms. wood working shops. gymnasiums and gamv rooms. To learn to swim in oul country one must go through a cer. tain process of drowning, for thei, are no indoor swimming pools and no instructors to show us how"
 He then spoke about the caste sys- tenn. There are three general castes," he said, the upper class the middle class, and the lower class. The members of the upper or high caste live in many respects as you do in America. The members of the middle caste can also afford the people of the lower caste are very poor. and many of them who work as herders receive such low wages that they can afford only one meal each dav.'
 He then spoke about some of the religions saying that thousands Ot gods were worshipped by many of the people. He told Of some men known as 'sa ses' who 20 into the forest where they stay in one place and think of their gods and only of their gods. not even stopping to eat.
