Pound Sterling Falls to
New Low Point, British
Capitalism Weakens

The British pound sterling has
fallen to the record low Of $3.50.
This is the lowest that the pound
has been in ten years. At the
present price the pound is only
he above the all-time record low
of $3.18 which it reached in the
worst days Immediately after the
world war.
The capitalist press reports
from London that London bank
ers in the meantime say they are
not worried" This fall of the
pound indicates the repaid weak
ening of the entire British credit
system which has been weakening
since the suspension of the gold
standard in September.
The slump in the price of the
oound is the result on the one
hand of the rapidly worsening po-
sition of British capitalism. 1t is
on the other hand the result of the
continued attacks by the French
and the United States imperialistS
on the pound in order to force
Great Britain into a secondary pc,
sition in the world imperialist
struggle.
The fall of the pound is one evi,
dence of the rapid weakening moi
only of the British capitalist sys'
tenn but of world capitalism.

MUNISING, Mich, Nov. 23.-A
sharp increase in the militancy of
the poor farmers here, has caused
the appearance of front page ar
ticles and editorials seeking to
work up an attack on the leaders
of the Unemployed Councils and
United Farmers League.
The state promised $4,000, 900
to Alger county, for road work, of
which only $5,000,00O could be
spent for wages. There are hun
dreds of poor farmers and unem-
ployed who were looking forward
for road work this winter and who
were shut off by this provision.
They were further angered by the
discrimination practiced in hiring
men-the county officials as usual
seeking to build their political
fences with public money.
The desperate farmers began to
come in and talk it over with the
Unemployed Council. On Nov. II,
when the Alger county "unemploy-
ed commission" was in session,
farmers of Alger gathered in the
Labor Temple, and led by their
Committee of Action and aided by
the Unemployment Council went
before the commission and de-
manded relief or work, The coun-
ty officials threatened to Jail some
of them and to make life miser'
able" for the others.
The farmers and the unemploy-
ed workers in the city, now pretty
we'll united, pledge to go on orga

FARMERS UNION.
GETS GENEROUS
CANCELS UNCOLLECTABLE
NOTES OF FARMERS.

The Farmers Union in the good
ness of its hear is cancelling and
passing back to the farmers the
notes which the farmers gave
them. With each cancelled note
returned is a letter pointing out
the terrible crisis we are in and
giving the reason for the cancella-
ton of the notes as the big heart
edness of the Farmers Union.
The real reason for the cancel
lation of the notes at this time is
that they can't be collected and
that the Farmers Union wants to
use this hypocritical maneuver in
order to get the farmers to sell
their grain thru the Farmers
Union elevators.
Couldn't Collect Thru Check+Off.
The Farmers Union officials
first tried to collect on these
notes thru the check-off on the
dividends of the members in the
oil stations and in the elevators
When this attempt at hijackins
failed they had a change of hear
and are now cancelling the notes

Kalamazoo, Mich, Nov. %, 1881.
Here we are and we've had fair
luck so farl This trip sure is go
ing to be a real experience with
the cops and thugs.
We had good meetings in Min
neapolis, st. Paul and Chicago. In
Chicago we had one of the big
best hall full of people-more than
/ had ever seen-full of revolu-
tionary spirit. Half dozen COPS
came in there, but when the
speaker called them Hoover dele
gates, everybody got up and start
ed booing at them and / never
saw anybody beat it out as fast
as they did.
When we started from Chicago
and came to Hammond, Indiana,
there was an army of COPS but in
spite of them we had a good meet
ing altho they broke it up. There
l got a blow from their blackjack
and lost my cap in the fight. Also
they smashed two or three truck
windows and shot a couple of tires
down and on top of that split us
up. They turned part of the
"Marchers" on one highway an6
another part on another highway
Reports are that those separated
from us are now coming with 9th
er trucks. So police terror is nO'
going to stop us and our speakers
tell it to them too.
About a mile from Kalamazoo
the police force met us and led u.

it was so late that we could mo-
have held one anyway.
