WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 25.-
Legge,, the chairman of the federal
farm board, is going just wild over
the situation, After trying desper-
ately for an embargo on the Soviet
Union, cooking up all sorts of crazy
theories about insignificant sales of
Soviet wheat in the United States
causing the collapse of prices, he has
had to face one of the capitalist
rivals. Legge would much rather
fight Russia than the British En-
pire, but competition is getting ter
rible, Legge has bought up s75000,ooo
worth of wheat and can't sell it.
So yesterday he allowed Senator
Capper of Kansas to make public
letter from Legge calling for an en-
barge on Canadian wheat.

Takers Ask Employed
Lay Off'So Jobless May
Play Tag With Hunger
by a Worker Correspondent

PASCO, Wash, Dec. 23.--Ha! Ha!
1t is herel Wait minute. No not
a six-hour day for the railroaders,
but a sugar-coated wage-cut, Buzz,
sputter, sputter, blink, Meetings are
being held over the Pacific North
west by the trainnlen and conduc-
tors for the purpose of ratifying the
plans sent out from the labor Or
CARNATIONS headquarters and as a
result of conferences in Chicago, for
the trainmen and conductors to lay
off each month after they have got
ten in a certain number OF days, in
order that the unemployed may get
in few days work.
1t is admitted that thos that have
to lay off will get a reduced pay
check, and that the unemployed that
get work as a result of such a plan
will play tag with starvation AS a
brakeman said to me the other day,
THE plan does not, in the way of
relief, begin to scratch the unem-
ployment problem, and is put out. in
my opinion, as a feeler for further
reductions in wages, the employed
are not the ones to solve the unem-
ployed problem, we are not respon-
sible for or the cause of the labor
saving machinery introduced in the
last ten years. 1 thought we paid
dues to the orders to pay the salaries
and expenses of leaders to look after
our interests and not the interests
of. the railroad owners"
Another said if the bosses had
proposed this plan, that means if it
means anything, wage reduction.
We would have been pretty hostile,
but our so-ealled leaders will put it
over and get away with it a whole
lot easier than the bosses ever would
have. Many of us have families, and
need all we can make, and besides
no job is secure these days. I am
getting tired of the high-salaried So
called leaders of our orders misrep-
resenting us, 1t looks like the baIlyho
about the six-hour day was smoke
screen"
We want unemployment insurance.

GERMAN FASCISTS.
AID CHURCHES TO.
GET MORE MONEY.
Order Bullets for Mil
liant Jobless

BERLIN-After stormy debate,
the mascists succeeded in passing the
new law concerning the procedure
for persons wishing to leave the
churches in the Thuringian Diet. In
Germany the churches are supported
by taxes imposed on their followers
and collected by the state. The re-
suit is that millionse people who
are no longer church supporters are
compelled to pay taxes for the sup
port of the churches. Previously it
was possible to alter this by making
a simple declaration leaving the
church, but with the new law the
procedure has been made more COM
plieated and expensive. Such dec
laration can now only be made be-
fore a Commissioner for Oaths or
before a court of justice. The aim,
of course, is to make the matter so
difficult that hundreds of thousands
will sooner go on paying the church
taxes than take all the bureaucratic
trouble necessary to leave the church.
Fascists and clericalists arm in arm
Following on the recent stormy
unemployed workers demonstrations
in Altenberg in Thuringia, the Police
Commissar appointed by the fascist
minister of the interior, Prick, has
announced that in the future the
police will take no account of Gu
rious pedestrians but will use it's
weapons against the masses imme-
diately and with all energy. The
fascist solution of the unemployment
question is the police club and re-
volver.

Girls Need Organiza-
ton Here
(By a Worker Correspondent

PERTH AMBOY, N, il work in
the Garcia Grand Cigar Co., located
at Cortland st. There are about $50
workers working here, of which
about 90 are hand workers and 60
work on machines making Garcia
Grand cigars.
The hand makers get 10, 80 and 90
cents for each 100 cigars they make,
it depending ON the make of cigar
they work on whether they will get
10, 80 or 90 cents. Hand makers
make only 300 and 400 cigars day,
Average days pay is $3.50 and $3.50.
Some make only $3.50 a day.
Hand cigar makers average $12, $13
and SIS a week for a 8 IL hour day,
l-2 day week.
Now the boss is shifting us to max
ing some other kind of cigar, for
which we get 45 cents for a hundred.
We can't nohoW make more than
500 of these cigars, while the average
is only 800 and $50 of these cigars
a day.
Many Machine Workers.
One bunchmaker must keep two
cigar makers going, but only gets half
the price a cigar maker gets. For
example, the cigars for which the
cigar maker gets 80 cents a hundred,
the bunchmaker gets only 40 cents
a hundred punches.
After New Years the boss is ex-
pecting to put all hand cigar makers
on the As cents per 100 cigars, With
this the boss wants to show all the
women how "kind-hearted" he is,
that he let's them work ON the As
cents cigars instead of replacing them
with machines.
Now about the machine cigar work
ers. They get rs and so cents per
thousand cigars, But they can only
make $500 cigars day, depending
on how rotten the material is that
they have to work with. -Four wo-
men work OH each machine; one is a
feeder. another is wrapper layer,

There are three other cigar factor

BRIEFS
COMMUNIST DEMONSTRATION
IN WARSAW

WARSAW.-The Warsaw Commu-
nists organized demonstration near
the PaViak prison for political pris-
oners. Large troops of workers
marched to the prison from various
directions singing revolutionary songs
and carrying placards. Mounted
police attacked the workers and broke
up the demonstrations. Again and
again shouts showed that the masses
intend to foil Pilsudsihs anti-Soviet
plans.
BRUssELs,-A deputation of the
employers organizations for river
transport and harbors has waited on
the Belgian government to protest
against the measures taken by the
government against Soviet goods.
The speaker for the, deputation
pointed out that the measures dam
aged Belgian trade and demanded
the restoration of full commercial
relations with the Soviet Union.
PRAGUE. - Powerful demonstra-
tons took place against the proposal
to close down the two great iron
works in Rohlau and Neudek thus
throwing many thousands of workers
on the streets. The social democrats
held protest meeting in the factory
itself, which was not very we'll at
tended. The Communist Party mo-
bilized about a thousand unemployed
workers at the gates of the factory
workers against the proposed clos
ing down of the works.
PRAGUE, - The pit committee
elections at the two biggest coal
mines in the Kladno district gave
the red lists majority over the COM
bined reformists and liquidators who
lost heavily.

SCORE ATTACK ON
YOUNG WORKER"
Continue to Spread
1t Among Youth

NEW YORK.-Polntlng out that
the denial of milling rights to the
Young Worker" is an attack of the
bosses against the revolutionary
working -class youth, but that it will
not stop the spread of this fighting
organ of the young workers, the Ma
tional Executive Committee Of the
Young Communist League has is
sued the following statement:
The government has suppressed
the Young Worker" the only youth
paper in America that fights for the
interests of all young workers and
the working class as a whole. They
suppressed this militant organ be-
cause of its struggle against wage
cuts, speed up unemployment, and
the bosses preparations for another
world war, especially war against the
Soviet Union.
The official statement of the post
Office department states that the
contents of the May LIST, May 18th
and June End issues are unavailable.
These issues especially dealt with the
bosses preparations for war, the
growing unemployment. and the
struggle against lynching.
The attack against the young
Worker" shows the growing fascist
terror against the working class. The
Fish Committee, and the govern
ment as a whole, will realize the
growing discomfort among the young
workers and the fact that the Com
munist Party and the Young Com
munist League have been leading
more and more young workers in the
struggle against hunger and bosses
war. That is why the Young
Pioneer" the working class children's
paper and the Young Worker, the
paper Of working class youth, have
been the first ones hit by the fascist
attacks OF the government.
The young Worker" has led the
fight of the youth against the bosses
for eight years. During this time it
has become an important weapon In

SHORT TIME AT

PITTSBURGH, CAL,
Rotten Work Means
Less Wages
(By a Worker Correspondent)

Thy Worker correspondent
PITTSBURGH. cal-The rolling
niu at the ". s. Steel plant here is
down to three days, But the steel is
20 rottan and so much time is taken
to gage the steel that the daily earn
ings are no more than half what
they were. ~
The stagger system has been in
troduced in the foundry department
and the bosses are going to start it
In other departments. The sheet mill
and the tin mill get 8 or 4 days a
week and the iron is so poor that
the screw boys, singler boys and
doublers hardly make $3.50 day.
The nail mill usually gets only two
days, sometimes three a week.
Face Worse Conditions.
The California steel workers face
even worse conditions when the
slump IN public buildings sets in.
And all Of us American steel workers
will be cut drastically when the
American steel bosses follow the Ger
man bosses who have driven the
German workers to the poverty line
With wage-cuts and the English mill
owners who plan to cut wages SO
per cent.
So with our standard of living al
ready cut in halt Qf we are working)
the bosses will try to force us even
below what we now consider an ex-
istence level.
Keep Up Profits.
Meanwhile the steel bosses have
raised the price of steel 81 ton to
KEEP their swollen profits up.
And here in Pittsburgh the COM
rnunity unemployment relief" COM
naittee, headed by boss Haynes of the
steel company and Barnes of the 10
cal chamber of commerce, squabbles
With the Salvation Army because
they have tried to horn in on local
charity, The bosses are afraid if the
"arnay" shakes the workers loose
from all their change the bosses will
have to cough up some dough for the
fake relief.
We steel workers cannot let the
boss drive us to near starvation and
charity, It Is necessary to organize to
fight this ha,amering down of our
living standards.

Stockton, CAL, Launches Red
Builders Neevs Club; Banquet
for NY. Organization Sunday

Chalk down another for the Red
Builders News clubs. Stockton, Cal,
has established club which is al
ready selling rs copies a day. Don't
think this is small number. 1t is
half as much as the whole city of
Pittsburgh is selling on the streets.
Several members of the unem-
ployed council in Stockton are now
actively selling the Daily Worker,
They are devoting the greater por-
ton Of their time to the sale of the
Daily Worker on the street, from
house to house, in carrier routes and
wherever workers are to be found in
Stockton.
Judging from the experiences of
Red Builders News clubs, which
have shown constant growth, it
should not be long before the cir
cuIation of the Daily Worker in
Stockton should be greatly in
creased. Comrades in the Stock
ton club must Systematically lay
out the work SO as to cover all
the working class territory. New
members for the club must be
constantly recruited that sales
are kept constantly ON the up
grade.
Sales for the Red Builders News
Club of New York have risen from
a few hundred papers to a total of
1886 which is the number sold last
week. This figure indicates the
eagerness with which workers accept
the Daily Worker when properly
approached.
