New York, N. Y
Daily WORKER
May 1st this year was the greatest
I ever saw. Though was supposed
to work that day, managed to get
away to march with the rest of the
slaves of capitalism.
Workers Enthusiastic.
All the workers where work were
very enthusiastic about the parade
and demonstration, many of them
marching in it.
All the way we met workers who
were glad to see us and who sympa-
thize with our struggle.
Although everything was quiet I'M
til we reached Union Square, some
thing had to happen at some other
place. and that was the Automat Res
taurant, on 18th Street, near the Ed
ison Company building.
A Jim-Cr Cop.
A Southern gentleman" "a jack
ass) in the service of the detective
force, thought that he was too civil
lied" and that it was a disgrace to
eat beside a Negro.
Along with the manager Of the res
taurant, the gink from the South pre-
tended that the Negro comrades were
blocking the way and spoiled business.
They then tried to push the Negro
workers out of the restaurant. Many
white workers sided in with the Ne
groes and gathered around the boss
and cop with threatening gestures
and forced them to keep their hands
off of the Negro workers. We all
walked out Of the restaurant together
then, white and Negro, the dick and
the restaurant boss looking at us and
feeling very down-hearted because
they could not satisfy their jim-crow
feelings.

A crippled worker, who is help
less invalid and married, was thrown
out into the street at Frank St..
right near a police station, Just be-

sleep in the street until some COM
rades from the Unemployed Council

council Immediately modified both
Negro and white workers, who put
back their furniture.
Militancy Wins.
The landlord became frightened
and called a policeman to the scene.
When the policeman learned that the
evicted workers had already Joined
the council, and when he saw the
militancy of the crowd, he did not
care to make any arrests and hur-
riedly left the scene, much TO the
dismay of the landlord.
Workers, it is up to all OF you to
organize such councils that fight
against starvation and eyictions.

Dear Comrades:
The "city fathers" here have con-
stantly boosted that conditions in
Omaha are so much better than in
the rest Of the world" and that
Omaha has no bread lines" That
the latter have never been estab-
lished is merely feature Of hard
boiled and stupid aristocracy, and
not because the suffering and star
walton are any nilder in Omaha than
elsewhere. The army Of unemployed
is growing larger every day. 1t is
really a trifle more noticeable here
than in some of the larger cities that
have been in recently. Mayor Met
calf, who fatty refused to comply
with single demand Of the unem-
ployed here, is getting ready to take
a pleasure trip to Paris, France, at
the expense Of the city.

Mayor Metcalf recently put up the
stupid proposition for solving the
unemployment situation by blowing

To My Fellow Workers in the Soviet
Union. U. S. S. r.
Dear Comrades,
I wish to relate my personal sit
uation as an American worker. I
am thirty years of age, married nine
years and have two children, five and
seven years of age.
Deadly Fumes Ruins Worker.
My trade is in the building line as
roofing and heating mechanic in
which I have served twelve years.
My trade was slack so I went to
work in a work shop of the United
Gas Improvement Co. in PhiladeI-
phia. There I contracted tubercu-
losis, a disease not pleasant to have
and I can never get rid of it either.
The deadly fumes have affected
many others besides myself. I have
not been able to work as a result of
six months labor in that company,
Wife Forced To Earn Living.
My wife is forced to undertake the
struggle for the keeping of the
house. She is employed at an Elec-
trical Appliance Manufacturing Con-
Germ in Philadelphia, the Writ Elec-
trio Co., where she works nine hours
a day, for the sum of twelve dollars
week.
My rent is $25 a month for a. five
room apartment. We have no gas
electricity, or heat. This added ex-
pense costs us So extra. The cheap
est grade Of milk is IL cents a quart.
butter about IS cents a pound, bread
10 cents, meat is exceptionally high
far beyond our means. I receive no
income from any source, not even
compensation or sick benefit.
I am just one of the millions of
the struggling workers in the U. S. A.
with no future in store, under this
society of capitalist rule.

Nnl,reSS Workers
On Model Farm
Low Wages and Long
Hours for Men

+, Madison, N. j.
Daily Worker:
There are six mixers on Noe
Farms who are forced to work long
hours for small wages. These work
ers receive from $25 to $40 month,
including room and board. All these
mixers do the same amount of
work, but they are paid according
to their age and length of service.
Work begins at a. m. and ends at
$50 p. m, about IA hours of hard
labor daily. Food in the boarding
house is very poor. Lodging is ter
rible. The rooms are unheated and
very dingy, rusty beds. There is no
kind of social life. The workers are
forced to spend their measly wages
for an old Ford so that they can
go TO the city once in a while.
Ready to Organize.
Yet Noe Farm is considered a mod
ern and up-to-date farm. They en-
ploy 20 workers, who are complain
ing bitterly on account of their low
wages and the rotten conditions here.
They are ready to be organized into
