CASE COMPANY LIKES
AMERICAN PUBLICITY

The American has been advised by a
Case dealer that they are very well
pleased with the results of the ad-
vertising campaign they are now run
ming in these pages. They report an
unusual amount of interest has been
aroused in their product through this
local advertising which is tied up
with the big Case national advertis-
ing campaign.
A case salesman said today to an
American representative, THE modern
farmer is fast turning to power farm
ing. He realizes if he is going to
stay in the farming business that he
must make a profit. He realizes too,
that if he is going to make this profit
he must reduce his cost of raising
crops and that he cannot do this with
old, out-of-date equipment. He knows
that he cannot farm today as his ia
Their did in yesteryears, and that the
only way is to be up-to-date, which
means that he must use modern ma
chinery."
1--WE certainly are gratified, indeed
to see the way our farmers are TAX
ing to modern equipment. We lay
much of this increased interest to
splendid cooperation the farm press
and your publication have been CIV
| ing to modern farming. The publ.
city given this very much worth
while project is having truly won
derful influence. We would like tt
take this occasion to express our graft
tude to the American for the splendid
results we have obtained from our ad-
vertising campaign. We have re
ceived inquiries from local farmers
whom we had no knowledge were ever
in the market. Many of these farmer:
have already placed their orders fol
modern farm machinery and man!
more will do so shortly"

THE AILING RUTABAGA
By James J. Montague.

ION learning that plants suffer from
indigestion.)
Ny rutabaga would not gain,
Despite my earnest care and toll.
1t did not lack for sun or rain
And grew in rich and fertile soil,
Yet day by day it dropped and pinned,
Like something stricken with a
blight,
Till sadly / made up my mind
That it's digestion was not right.
l called a plant physician in,
Who took its pulse and temperature;
He said it was trifle thin
But promised me a speedy cure.
But it did not improve at all
It's trouble threatened to persist
And so he said that he would call
An indigestion specialist.
The specialist appeared next day
And said: ct will not do to wait;
We can't let things go on this way.
We've simply got to operate
The following night they piled thu
knife
But this poor suffering plant of mine
Though still it gamely chung to life,
Continued daily to decline.
Then suddenly it took a turn;
In just two weeks, as l recall,
Its leaves shot upward like fern;
It's form was rounded like ball.
And if it only could engage
In ordinary conversation
1t would be telling leek and sage
About its dreadful operation.

EAST COAST CONFER
ENCE SHOWS REVOLT
OF LONGSHOREMEN

know that they have nothing to
fear from either of these organ
izations. But they also realize
that the NV. 1. U is out on the
waterfront to organize the work
ers into real fighting union, a
union that is out to smash the
takers and the bosses, a union that
is out to establish job control
through compelling the bosses to
hire the men out of the union hall
on the rotary system, therefore in
surfing the equal distribution of
work and also doing away with
the present system of "syndicates"
sale of work.
Delegates from all ports, men,
bers and non-members, are equally
emphatic ard are all agreed that
neither the I. L. A. nor the l. W.
w. can or intend to better the con-
ditions of these workers. One can
feel the hatred Of these workers
for the takers of these two men
toned unions. One is as bad as
the other. Their objects are both
the same-the selling out of the
workers. Both have outlived their
usefulness, both are ready to be
buried.
A delegate from Pier 5 (unor-
gained coastwise longshoremen)
takes the floor and points out the
glaring need for organization of
these men. The I. L. A. took 5000
from them and deserted them. Sea-
men have promised to support these
longshoremen. He points out how
those men are exploited, paid as
cents an hour and averages three
days per week. This young Negro
worker appeals to white and col
ored to stand together under the
banner of the M. W. I. U. and
fight, fight to the bitter end in
order to sweep the takers and
grafters off the waterfront and
establish a real union. And so
delegate after delegate takes the
floor and demands organization.

scoffed at the charges of Secre-
tary of State Hyde against the
sales of the Soviet Union. These
politicians have their ears to the
ground, and know the real farm

Hyde's fake excuses for the ac-
lions of the farm board. But Fish

The farm bureaus are semi

Fish Sessions Today.
The Fish committee sessions in
New York are today and tomorrow
at the Department of Justice
Building, Fish has announced he
will give audience, probably today,
to the reactionary former Amtorg
employee, Basil W. Delgass, who
now makes living as hired
crusader against the Soviet Union.
One reason for the readiness of
the Fish Committee to deal with
discredited and shady characters
like Delgass and the racketeer
monarchists like Djamgaroff and
Bernadsky is understood by
consideration of the personnel of
the committee. In the sessions al
ready held in New York by. the
Fish Committee, the gambling
joint operator, Bernardsky, was
official interpreter for the COM
mittee, and was posted through
out most of the hearings in a
friendly elbow-to elbow position
alongside or just back of Repre-
sentative Carl Bachman of West
Virginia, member of the commit
tee.
The Bachman's have a family
system. Carl, the Fish Committee
member, is the lawyer and poll
tician, most useful thing to have
in such group. Charles Bach

director of the Tyler Iron Works;
director of Bertha Consumers Coal

Co. of Wheeling. Naturally the

and the capitalists generally that
even if an appropriation were made
it would not go into eject for
about a year. Meanwhile the masses
of toilers would be left to starve.
Do Not Starve.
Workers! Don't starve; fight!
Militant action by our massed
forces is the only road to victory,
to theimmediate establishment of
unemployment insurance. The
great March 9th unemployment
demonstration of 100000 work
ers, under the lead of the Com
munist Party and the Trade
Union Unity League, made ma
tional issue of unemployment re-
lief. Only still greater and far
more militant demonstration of
our power and determination will
defeat the treachery of the A. F.
Of L. and socialist" party, force
the hand of the employers, and
compel the government to grant
unemployment insurance. The
broader and more militant this
demonstration, the more Elective
it will be. This great struggle,
carried through by employed as
well as unemployed, must also
direct its force against the wage
cutting campaign and general
worsening of the workers condi-
lions now taking place. Unem-
ployment relief must be made the
central issue in the fall elections.
1t is the historic task of the Com
munist Party and Trade Union
Unity League to lead this militant
fight.

Workers, make the September
28th unemployment conference of

for the organization of great,

American city during the coming
months. Let these demonstra-

Pittsburgh, Pa.
Editor, Daily Worker:
With these few lines I will let
you know the conditions in the steel
mills here.
l am employed as a clipper at the
Crucible Steel plant in Pittsburgh.
We used to work for A cents an
hour and bonus-the speed-up sys-
TEN.
But now it is worse than it ever
was. We work now one week and
lay off two weeks.
New speed-Up System
September list, the boss called US
all and told us from now on no
more day wages, only tonnage. And
he said if we worked hard we would
make some money. But he didn't
say how much they would pay on
the tonnage.
Now if we have clean steel we
may be able to make from $500 to
$500 day. But if we have scrap
steel we can not make more than
from $1.00 to $3.50 a day.
Make Men Spy
And when the boss told us that
he said for each man to watch the
others and see that they work and
not fool on the job. If they see
anyone loafing report them IN the
office and they will give them their
pay.
SO by this the boss makes the
workers hate each other. This is
the new speed-up system.
The only thing is for the workers
to wake up and organize into the
Metal Trades Workers Industrial
League and fight for better condi-
lions and no wage cuts.

cation to submit our demands. the

ones hunger and freeze while the
rich social parasites revel in lux

ont he wealth they have stolen
from us?
Never! We must and we will
fight against the capitalists and
against their A. F. of L. social
list" party agents. The issue is.
either fight or starve.
We assert our right to live. Our
slogan is work or wages. The en-
ployers bear the fault for closing
down the industries, it is not of
our doing. They are the rulers OF
society. Their bankrupt capitalist
system cannot furnish US work,
therefore they must pay us wages
through unemployment insurance.
The workers will finally end un-
employment altogether by over
throwing capitalism and setting
up their own government, as the
Russian workers have done.
