Divorces Increase in Lincoln County.
According to figures given out by
Clerk of Court Fred Clark the bonds

cites the fact that there were IL

were issued. If these percentages
should continue, there will be not

4. The New Yorl: district holds first place in
new mail subscribers obtained, although the
main basis for circulating in this district IS
news stand sales. Detroit challenged New York
but lags ten per cent behind in readers.
The New Jersey field in the New York district,
a large industrial area, coul1 have assisted
New York in gaining a much larger per-
centage.
Philadelphia has beaten Cleveland by two
per cent. But the ten per cent of the quota
obtained in the larger districts, and the aver
age of five per cent obtained in the smaller
districts prove that the Party has only been
active by ten and five per cent.
The southern districts are doing better than
the northern districts. The Connecticut dis
trict, close to New York where our paper is
published, reached by the Daily Worker every
morning on the date of publication, this vast
industrial area needs immediate attention.
Connecticut only secured seven new sub
scribers in a month and half.
Our official campaign list, containing spaces
for ten new readers, have been in the hands
of Party members for many weeks. 1t is not
too great task to request Party member
to get ten new subscribers for one month each
each at so cents each, and then to visit these
subscribers again when the month is up and
collect another so cents from each for the
following month.
Every Party member should be able to get
one yearly subscriber, or several half yearly,
or four quarter yearly. Application to this
work is all that is needed and that is what
the Party is demanding We expect all Party
members to make up for lost time during the
remainder of the campaign. We expect the
district bureaus to actually take this whole
campaign in hand without further delay, and
show marked increase in subs and achieve
ments generally by the time we publish the
next report.

DETROIT.-"If poison fails try
Briggs" This is a popular saying
among auto workers, for very good
reasons, some of which follow.
While there is state law prohibit
ing the working of women more than
ten hours in one day, many women
at Briggs are compelled to toll II
hours a night. In the Briggs Mack
Ave. plant metal finishers were re-
Gently hired at GO cents an hour and
bonus; after working three weeks
they were paid off at AZ cents an
hour, with no bonus. Girls have
been hired at % cents an hour and
forced to pay $3.50 for cheap
smock not worth more than 65 cents,
and also 60 cents for a pair of scis-
sors not worth more than 25 cents.
After working three days these
girls were laid off and when they
asked when to come around for their
pay, were CURLY told: at amt worth
the trouble" After the deductions
for the smock and scissors the girls
would hardly have carfare left.

organizations, Daily Worker readers, workers
from the shops, workers correspondents into
powerful supporting groups. The Daily Work
er, the central organ of our Party, will be-
come the mass agitator and collective organizer
of the working class upon the basis of Or
ganized mass support. This has been much
under estimated in the campaign so far.
Challenges to revolutionary competition have
remained a gesture to now. Detroit district
challenged New York. New York has not yet
accepted the challenge and neither district has
infused the members with the challenge. Chi
cago challenged Detroit and Detroit has not
yet replied to the challenge and the members
know nothing about it. Cleveland and Phila-
delphia challenged each other, but only on
paper. The other districts forgot about insti-
tuting revolutionary competition altogether, 10
not even have a gesture to their credit
The Daily Worker campaign is only in its
initial stages and steps will have to be taken
to carry it forward for another period of time.
The tables below show that a beginning has
been made, that we have increased circulation,
but the actual increase in new readers, both
mail and sales at shops, house to house, etc.
can be estimated at only ten per cent of the
quota. This necessitates a warning to all dis
tricts that are tagging behind. More organized
activity, steadier application to securing new
subscribers, permanent house to house carrier
routes, shop sales, street sales, meeting sales,
must be established. Much more attention must
be given to raising the $4,000 Emergency
Fund

Paper Man Took Iodine
When Fired
Daily Worker

Daily Worker
The enclosed marked clipping may
be of interest to Daily Worker
readers, particularly if explanations
omitted in it are considered:
"Cyril Chapman, 20, young mar
ried family man, swallowed the con-
tents of a bottle of iodine. He was
taken to the Curran Clinic, where
his stomach was pumped out, and
he was then taken to the police sta
ton, where he recovered during the
night. Chapman refused to discuss
his case with the police other than
to say that he had taken the iodine
for the purpose of ending his life.
Chapman has been working at Mon
roe Bridge for some time past and
quit his job only yesterday"
Chapman did not quit his job, but
was fired. Fired because he could
not keep pace with the6speeding up
and naturalization going on in the
paper mill of this company town.
Due to the capitalist crisis, bosses
here, as elsewhere, are forcing the
workers to do more for less in every
department. Beginning this week,
one back tender (helper) has to
keep two calenders going, where,
formerly, he worked on one only.
While notices are posted threaten
ing operators with discharge if they
fail to run anything but good paper,
production records are also kept
based on "stop-watch" efficiency,
and one worker is pitted against an
other trying to keep up his record.
Talks are given by the management
in the office, trying to explain this
by claiming it is necessary to meet
the competition of other mills.
But the other mills are doing the
same thing! 1t is time we workers
woke up and instead of trying to
commit suicide on the job we ought
to fight back these schemes of the
bosses to make more profits out of
US. We must do this by organiza-
ton. Organization on the job and
struggle against the whole capital
list system.

(By a Worker Correspondent
NEW YORK.-A statement on

New York Times for June 81 shows
very clearly that Mr.. Peaceship
Henry fired II, ITO workers and SIM
ultaneously increased his daily out
put from 1900 cars day to $500
cars daily.
The capitalist Times does not
print this statement as condemna-
ton of open-shop, slave-drlvlng
Ford methods, but tucks it away on
the financial sheet to act as guide
to other "philanthropic" Americas
industrial wizards on how to make
the workers pay for capitalism's in
competency.
Just remember, Mr.. New York
Times, that though you print your
daily instructions on the financial
sheet, the workers of America are
also deriving the benefits of your
lessons in capitalism" and thus

the girls produce more for a cheap
box of candy. The scheme will not
work, because it was exposed at
once by the Youth department of
the TUUL.
The campaign for organization is
also making good Roadway in Tren-
ton. Several shop gate meetings
were held and over a thousand
young cigar workers participated in
the meetings. At two of the meet
ings, the. speakers were arrested.
The Trenton workers are showing
good response to the campaign.
A shop bulletin at the Consoli-
dated will be given out this week,
by the Young Communist League
exposing the rotten conditions eX-
listing in the plant and showing the
workers how to organize and fight.
The bosses are becoming frantic
because of the growing success OF
the activity of the Youth department
of the TUUL, but they will not be
able to prevent the workers from
organizing.

Comrade Editor
Oakland once more has been hit
with wage-cuts and lay-offs. The
building industry is away below the
level of last year. Workers are be-
ing speeded-up to take the place of
those who are laid off. The Hall
Scott Motor Co. played a rotten
trick on the workers. They told the
workers that they were going to
put in new machinery. First they
laid off 25 men for a few days, then
all of a sudden 400 men. Only last
week they took them all back at IS
per cent reduction in wages. The
Byron Jackson laid off their entire
help.
Only last week in a pool hall at
Tenth and Franklin SITS. worker
was taken to the hospital. He could
not walk from starvation. Workers,
are we going to stand for starvation
in so prosperous country as the
United States? Join the Trade
Union Unity League. The only or
ganization that is putting up fight
for the workers is the T. U. U. L..

New York district first, Chicago second
California third-and then comes an mex
cusable drop in contributions secured for the
$4,000 Daily Worker Emergency Fund. Ac-
tually, the quota for California is proportion
ately far in excess of the other districts when
related to the Party membership in the dis
trict. Upon a more equalized basis Califor-
MIA would have 40 per cent of its quota col
lected
The New York district, with IS per cent of
its quota collected, stands out as an example
to all other districts. Every district should
have collected IS per cent of it's quota by now.
Detroits revolutionary challenge to New York
seems to have been answered very effectively
by New York, if not in words, then in deeds.
Detroit has also lost out to Chicago in revo-
lutionary competition to collect for the Daily
Worker fighting fund.
What is outstanding in the above table is
that the New York district has collected
S5,67156 and all the other districts combined
collected only $3,293.75. This proves what we
have been telling you on page one of the
Daily Worker every day, namely, that our
Party districts outside of New York have not
modified their forces for mass collections,
collections in workers organizations; have
not activzed every Party member to collect
a minimum of SIS upon the subscription and
contribution lists.
The Seattle district, with its one per cent,
Minneapolis 3 per cent, Kansas City per
cent, Connecticut per cent, Pittsburgh per
cent, Buffalo per cent-these districts have
helped very little to keep the Daily Worker
going and growing. In these districts well
as in the larger ones, quick mobilization of
forces must occur if the Daily Worker is to
overcome it's financial difficulties; if we are
to win our fight against suspension on the
one hand and suppression by the bosses bust
ness agents in the White House on the other.

ENSLAvES NEGRO
Guards Beat Him Up
If He Tries to Quit

MEMPHIS, Tenn, June 12.-Of
the four auto plants which have To-
Gated in Memphis since the war the
Murray Wood Products Co. pays
the lowest wages and employs armed
guards, which it obtains from pri-
vate detective agency. There have
been repeated flareups at the plant,
which the management has sedu-
lousy hushed up.
A month ago the band savers
walked off their jobs. 1t is re-
ported that they were not allowed
to leave the plant, in accordance
with the company's rule that no one
may leave the plant during work
ing hours.
"What happened to them?" in
quired the reporter.
ooh, the guards beat them up and
put them back to work." was the re-
ply.
20 Cents An Hour.
Word has repeatedly been re-
ceived to the effect that guards are
in the habit of beating up colored
workers who make trouble" Mean
while the company is pushing its
low wage policy to the limit. Ger
tain nightworkers have recently had
their wages cut to 20 cents an hour
for 10 ho1lrs

ored worker, "but she left me. l

that it would smash the meeting if
held and lynch the speakers.

Report on the Daily Worker Mass Circmla-
ton Drive and $4,000 Emergency Fund

Party members have not to now show suf-
ficient enthusiasm for the campaign. Although
a few comrades have, by their efforts and de-
termination proven that new mail subscribers
can be easily secured the Party members as a
whole were inactive. If every Party member
secured only one new subscriber, we would at
once exceed the quota of 10000 new subscrib
ers. Let that Party member step forward who
can claim that he can not secure at least one
new subscriber! We failed to strengthen the
campaign by drawing into it the Party frac-
lions in all organizations, workers organza-
tons, workers in the shops. Unless this is
done we will never build a mass base and we
will fail to root our circulation apparatus deep
ly in the ranks of the masses of workers in
all industries.
Without such an apparatus our gains will
be only temporary. 1t will again indicate that
the Party whipped itself into temporary cam
paign activity, that we still do not link up
the Daily Worker with all our day to day work,
Party campaigns election campaigns, anti
lynching, anti-war, defend Soviet Union, I'M
employment, day to day struggle against
speed-up, low wages etc. to win leadership
over decisive sections Of the working class and
give them guidance in their struggles against
capitalism. This proves that there still exists
a Campaign ideology" jumping from cam
paign to campaign without building permanent
and concrete organization for further work.
The Party must help build a broad base for
Daily Worker mass circulation and support in
every city by organizing Daily Worker Build
ers Conferences by welding together workers
