Special Dispatch to The star.

special DlSpatch to The Star.
DALLAS, Tex, October THE Fed
eral Bank of Dallas says:
A further reduction in the prospective
Yields OF principal crops, together with
the persistence of low agricultural
prices, has had a noticeable effect upon
business and industry in the eleventh
district The continuance of the severe
drought during August left large area
OF the district In a critical condition,
and the scattered rainfall recently has
been insufficient to materially alter the
situation. According to the September
! report Of the Department of Agricul-
ture, the production Of major crops in
much OF the northern half of Texas,
Southeastern Oklahoma and North
Louisiana will fall considerably short
of that in 1929
In many instances the situation Is ag-
gravated by the fact that the poor con-
dition this year Is elimination of a
series Of poor crop years. In those Sec
tons where good crops are being har-
vested the low prices being received for
products are materially reducing the re-
turns from the current crop. Ranges
deteriorated rapidly in the drier Sec
tions, and while live stock held up well
under the circumstances they are be-
ginning to show the effects of poor
ranges. Market prices for live stock
have strengthened somewhat since the
middle of August, but trading on the
ranges is at standstill.
Rejecting the poor agricultural situa-
ton, the demand for merchandise con-
tinued sluggish. While sales in most
reporting lines of wholesale trade re-
flected a seasonal increase over July,
they fell considerably short Of the Au-
gust, 1929, volume. Reports indicate
that retailers are still buying very SPAR
ingly and are keeping inventories at a
minimum.

OIL OUTPUT NOTED
Lowest Level Since July

Last Week.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
TULSA, Okla, october THE daily
average production of crude oil in the
United States for the week ended
October was 2.37S.645 barrels, de-
cline Of 3.572 from the preceding weeks
figure, the OH and Gas Journal esti-
mates.
The drop carried the country's output
to the lowest level reached since early
in July. 1928. The decrease was en-
tirely in heavy gravity oil, the yield Of
light oil increasing by 4,676 barrels.
The total for the Midcontinent area,
including both light and heavy oils,
was 1881 .597 barrels, an increase of
4,208. While Oklahoma and Kansas
showed small declines, other areas
registered gains. Oklahoma production
was down $40 barrels at 557,885 and
Kansas had loss of $50 barrels at
115,740. West Texas, with an output
of 270,134 barrels, a gain of 1923, and
North Central Texas, with a gain of
1887 barrels at 1898, accounted
largely for the increase.

Against the Death Sentences of
the Japanese Communists

THE long pending secret public" trial of the
Japanese Communists arrested in the past
two years has finally come up. The result
sentences, ranging from death to life i'm
prisonment, for the leading members of the
Central Committee. This fact is not surpris-
ing since the sentences were handed down by
the self-styled "lberal" Minseito government
of Hamaguchi, ct al.
In country like Japan, where the cond-
tions of the working class and peasants are
appalling, the left orientaton of the workers
and peasants is only too natural. And in this
connection the Communist Party of japan led
the radicalized masses of Japan in spite of
the treacherous efforts of the right and the
social democrats to mislead them.
Two years ago, March 15 following the
general election, the Japanese government
conducted big raid and arrested over one
thousand militant fighters from the ranks of
the Japanese proletariat.
The Japanese ruling class was scared by
the rapiditv with which the Communist Party
was gaining influence over the Japanese
masses. After these mass arrests the ruling
class thought that it was all over with the
Japanese Communist Party However. it was
not so. little over year later on April
49, another mass arrest hal TO be conducted.
This time over six hundred were taken in by
the police.
All those arrested and placed in jails during
these months had been branded as traitors and
were treated accordingly

THE gigantic distribution of May Day edi-
tions of the Daily Worker indicates that
the Party members are making an attempt to
bridge the difference between the broad influ-
ence of the Party among the masses of work.
ers and its own organizational weakness.
A total of 100000 copies of May Day editions
of the Daily Worker were sent to the Party
districts to assist in mobilizing workers for May
First. The distribution of this immense num-
Der of our Party organ brought many workers
many steps nearer to u.s. What needs especial
mention is the methods of distribution and the
political Importance of these methods.
At the Factory Gates.
Methods of distribution of these 100000
Daily Workers prove that in a number of dis
tricts the comrades are beginning to UNDER
stand the value of the Daily Worker as an in
strument which propels the Party into the
masses of workers at factory gate, at their
homes, wherever workers are to be found
Comrades in increasing numbers are learning
what contact with the masses means. They
are beginning to live new Communist life,
are sensing the rightful place of our Party
and every Party member to be, in the vortex
OF the class struggle, living their everyday
struggles and giving political leadership. They
are beginning to function among working-class
masses, talking to them, learning their prob
lens, prescribing the Daily Worker as an or
gan that will clarity these problems and help
to organize them for struggle
Modified For May Day.
This immense printing of the Daily Worker
was used mainly to mobilize workers for Nav
Day: This is as it should be. To have printed
single edition for May First, to be distrib-
uted only on that day, would have been an err
ror. The Daily Worker is an aid to every
move the Party makes and the Daily Worker
moves the workers toward the Party and en-
lists them in all Party campaigns and activi-
ties.
Daily Worker Red Sundays in number of
districts brought to the attention of thousands of
workers our May Day slogans and the revolu-
tonary portend of May First. This method
of visiting workers at their homes finds en-
dorsement by Party members wherever it is
efficiently organized. Comrades in a number
of cities have at last learned the value of dis
tribution and sale Of the Daily Worker at sub
way, elevated and street car stops. There are
stations where thousands of workers disnount
from GAYS to go to their shops. These stations
must be charted and crew of comrades and
unemployed workers must oetp.Ht' s'>..'v cir

May Day and the Daily Worker
How to Sell the Daily Worker.

In many districts we are beginning to un.
derstand that unemployed workers and COM
rades should be enlisted for distribution and
sales of the Daily Worker. The May Day
mobilization editions forced comrades in charge
of distributions to avail themselves of unem-
poyed workers. Unemployed workers, in some
instances, themselves took the initiative to help
sell and distribute
Bat what is of major Importance are the
achievements we have to record regarding fac
tory gate Communist activity. The May Day
mobilization editions pressed the Party men,
bership toward the industries. Factory gate
meetings increased because Daily Workers on
hand had to reach shop, mine and mill work
ers with the "Strike-Down Tools" slogans and
articles. And when comrade takes a bundle
OF Daily Workers to factory gate and ten or
fifteen workers gather around him, asking
questions about the Party, the Trade Union
Unity League, discussing their problems, CIV
ing information about conditions in their shop.
this is also factory gate meeting. OF this
kind of meetings we had a wonderful increase
during the period before May Day.
Shortcomings.
There were shortcomings. Some districts
still have to discover the Daily Worker. In
Vulnerable factory towns where we have Party
membership did not see single copy of our
organ The distribution among steel workers,
miners and workers in many other big indu-
stries was too limited. Some districts circul-
ated a totally inadequate number of Daily
Workers with the "Strike-Down Tools" slog.

pished good task and big task Here axe
