FACE
CROP LOSSES
Of MILLIONS
Conditions Worst In Seventy
Years; Baltimore to Give
Water to AgrlcuIturists

Farmers Of Maryland and Vir-
ginia are facing losses OF millions
OF dollars in produce and live
stock as the result OF the intense
drought, said to be the worst
experienced In either State for
more than 10 years.
In the Shenandoah valley farm
ers are facing one Of the most
serious problems that they have
been confronted with for nearly
0 century, that being the likelt-
hood that they will have to face
O winter without green forage for
their stock.
Conditions in Maryland are
about the same and Mayor
Broening of Baltimore broadcast
an offer to all agriculturiStS to
supply them with as much water
as they needed provided they
furnish the transportation.
Fruit Crops Ruined
In Virginia the fruit crops are
about ruined. This includes the
vast apple crops of the Shenan-
doah. What fruit there is for
harvest dwarfed and prac-
ticAlly ruined as far as good
market value is concerned.
Although the heat wave has
broken and there is temporary
relief from the excessive heat,
there is no immediate prospect
Of. rain in sight, according to the
weather prophets.
Water is being bought by the
nearby farmers from town authori-
ties in Virginia.
Will Plant Corn
Orchardists say they are fac
Ing the shortest crop in years,
and are hauling and pumping
thousands Of gallons Of water on
the tree-rootS daily.
Farmers are preparing to plant
corn at the earliest prospect Of
rain, and state that If they are
able to do so within the next two
week5, there is a possibility that
they might be able to have green
food for the stock over the winter.
The manganese mines in the
mountainous section Of the Shen-
andoah Valley have had to close
owing to the lack Of water.

Don't Worry, Boys!

The prediction poppycock is in full and
luxurious bloom. AS one may remark by the
harvest of investigations" going on. Mr..
Tuttle, republican and an appointee of Hoover,
as federal attorney in New York, completely
surrounded by Tammany democrats, any one
of whom can be legitimatey charged with
graft and corruption, starts to throwing har-
poems at a few of the little fellows of Tam
many, just TO make campaign publicity He
turns, as he has to turn, the prosecution for
state offenses, over to Tammany to handle, and
Grain, Tammany's prosecutor, sees that his
grand jury says, mix, he's one of ours" But
it is so raw that Grain had to back UP, and
as it was getting rather overdone for him to
investigate his own investigation, Tammany
thought it good trick to have Governor Roose-
yelt with an appearance of an outsider"
take over the works. Thus the whitewash is
being mixed by experts. But so far the down.
town Tammany crooks who are heavy on graft
but light on brains, got a scare "Wot the
hell is all this 'vestigation by Albany? Has
that bloke Roosevelt double-crossed us?" AS
a sort of assurance that he was all right Roose-
welt made speech to some farmers in which
he attacked the republican party as respon-
sible for the hard times, to prove that he stays
regular. Incidentally, after telling them that
high wages caused the trade depression (where
is the "high" and how did they cause it?)
Roosevelt spoke kind word for the New York
City milk trust, boasting that Tammany had
shut all milk out of New York City from west
ern sources. He said this was done because
It could not be easily inspected for purity"
The idea of Tammany inspecting anything for
purity strikes US as bordering on the ludcrous.

BY Y. MALQUIST.

THE conditions of the workers in Rockford,
ILL.,, are worsening every day. To the work
ers, who are still 'lucky" enough to have
JOB, wage cuts, ranging from 10 to 80 per cent,
have been-and are-handed out in every in
dustry. At the same time, the bosses, in order
to cheaper production and make greater pro-
fits, device all possible means to speed up and
exploit the workers. The speed up is being
applied to such an extent in some of the fac
tories here that today three or four workers
produce just much as ~ and Is did few
months ago. The result of the continuous wage
cuts is that hundreds of workers must slave
like hell for 20 and 30 cents an hour in such
factories as the Rockford Cabinet Scandin
Furniture, and Illinois Cabinet, etc., which are
notorious for their slave-driving and merciless
exploitation.
Lay-Offs.

systems, scores Of workers, many of whom have

and strikers were jailed; then the agents of
the company together with the A. f. of L. Of
ficaldom and with the help of the police, both
city and state, succeeded in getting control of
the strike committee The great bulk of the
workers still had confidence in the A. w. U.
and attempted to continue the policy of mass
pcketing and militant struggle.
Organized squads of company agents were
constantly on hand to disorganiZe the strikers,
and when the strikers, still militant followed
the line of struggle laid down by the A. w. u,
they met by the iron fist of the General
Motors Corporation, by clubs, mounted police
men and bayonets, driven 10 miles out Of
town, and their strike headquarters seized.
Without leadership in which they had conf
dence, the workers felt that the first battle
in the struggle was over and the strike broken.
Major Shortening of the A. W. U.
The basic shortcoming of the A. w. U.
existed before the strike. The A. w. U. had
carried on considerable propaganda, held many
shop gate meetings and demonstrations. In
sufficient attention was given to the organiza-
ton of shop and department committees The
result was that when the strike broke out, the
union had no organized contacts from the
shops and departments and was forced to ac-
cept such leaders as Comstock and Co. whose
department initiated the strike. Even small
groups of organized committees in the shops
would have facilitated the change of leader
ship in the strike committee. With group
of workers in the shop who understand the
class struggle and the methods of the enemy,
the union would be in a better position to
maintain control of the growing struggles in
the auto industry.
II this basic shortcoming is not soon rene
died we will again have to record the story of
militant courageous struggles of workers fall
ing prey to the fascist and social fascist
groups. Moreover, if we are to get away from
waging nothing but purely defensive struggles,
if we are to be in position to choose the time
and place to initiate struggles for higher
wages and better conditions we must organ
ize shop committees. We must measure our
progress in the future not by the number of
shop gate meetings, demonstrations, and ar
rests, but by the number of shop, department,
and organization committees we have solidi-
fled.
Each month sees greater numbers Of auto
workers involved in struggle. Every day sees
greater solidarity of both employed and unenl-
ployed workers. Automobile, STEEL and metal
workers face the task Of organizing shop COM
mittees This is the only way to face the
powerful trusts of these industriey

FREE speech and free assembly have become
1 only memories. The right to organize and
to strike are being rapidly liquidated. When
the workers strike, they confront groups, police
and armed private thugs. Their leaders are
jailed by hundreds and given ferocious SEN
fences. Powers and Carr in Georgia are actu-
ally facing the electric chair for organizing
white and colored workers, while the Dohenys,
Fall, etc., robbers of hundreds of millions, go
free. The courts brazenly show their capitalist
class character
Clubs For Bread.
When the unemployed demand relief they
are ridden down by mounted police, or insulted
by Governor Roosevelt's pauperizing old age
pension bill, by Wagners hypocritical bill to
take census of unemployed. Night sticks
bread lines, jails, fake statistics, are the cap
italists answer to the unemployed. In New
York the Tammany Hall administration, the
expression of the reaction and terror of the
bosses, is clubbing and killing workers because
they dare to demonstrate against unemploy-
ment. Whalen, the Chamber of Commerce, and
all other agencies of the bosses have forged
documents in order to discredit the Communist
Party and to create war sentiment against the
In the present bosses attacks against the
workers they have enlisted the support of the
American Federation of Labor and the social
list party. The American Federation of Labor
was the initiator of the forged documents pre-
scented by Whaen. Matthew Vol the vice
president of the American Federation of Labor
has united with the most bitter and open shop
and fascist enemies of the working class. The
American Federation of Labor and it's history
of countless betrayals of the struggles of
workers, has today proven very clearly and
definitely to the entire American working class
that in its policy and reactionary leadership
it is an open fascist and bureaucrat organiza-
ton working hand in glove with the bosses
against the working class.
Crisis.
While the United States is the scene of
paralyzed industry mass unemployment and
growing fascist terrorism, world capitalism
shows similar picture of crisis. The various
capitalist countries driven on by internal crisis
and an Unsuitable thirst for markets and world
control, come into violent conflict with each
other. They fight by building tariff walls
against each other, by building up larger
armies and navies and suppress ruthlessly the
colonial people. They are now particularly pre-
pairing against the Soviet Union. The
London Naval Conference has definitely proven
that the bosses are preparing for war and that
disarmament is impossible to achieve under
capitalism.

Columns of tall about how the Dutchess
of York, wife of King Georges second son,
Matched out royal brat, All in the front
pages of Americas greatest capitalist papers.
The American press runs more nauseating
rubbish about royalty, with stunning roto-
gravure pictures, than all the papers in all
the monarchists of the world combined. The
reason is that imperialism, the last stage of
capitalism, relies on all that is backward and
reactionary to bolster its declining hold on
the masses. The N. Y. Times used three col
umns, beginning on page l, first column to the
Duchess of Yorks confinement, with honor
able mention next to it of how perfectly
wonderful the Prince of Wales was for max
ing present of a statue of himself to some
old woman. This is "news fit to print" but
not description of hundreds of thousands of
British miners slowly starving to death in the
WelSh--or Scottish, coal fields. The same
soldering over royalty is, of course, expected
from Socialists" of the Second Socialist" In
ternationaf, whose whole reason for existance
is bound up in upholding British tradition
and imperialism. In the case of the old COW

that the cabinet member who is called the
Home Secretary" should stick around the
bedside and verify that no substitution takes
place. Thus also the socialist" Home Secre-
tary, J.-R. Clynes, lowered about the Duchess
of York, anxious to pin the first diaper on the
hoped for son that might inherit the throne.
Alas, the brat was girl. and the N. Y. Times
notes that 'some natural disappointment will
be felt throughout the country that the baby is
a girl and not boy, who would have become
third in succession to the throne" Picture
