Nellie Revell in one of her recent Voices of Radio Digest talks heard over an NEG hookup recalls a favorite gag that the late Kate Eiinor and her husband and vaude- vile partner. Sam Williams, used to use with great effect. Williams would insist that all great nations should maintain great navies. "Oh, would answer. Don't you know that the two greatest nations in the world are the Jews ad the Irish, and they don't own even so much as rowboat between them"

such as wheat, flour, potatoes vegetables, meat,
butter eggs ETC., and send them in carloads.
If YOU cannot pay the freight arrange with the
nearest city workers to make collections for pay
ing the freight Or, if you leave no means to
nav freight at all send it collect, and it will be
paid by the Relief Committee,
The question of miners relief should also be
taken up in every farmers organization and
cooperative Many of these organizations can
assist very materially, if only those farmers who
e sympathetic to the miners struggle will fight
and press in these organizations for relief.
It would aiso be very encouraging if farmers
organizations will pass resolutions of solidarity
for the striking miners. In these same resolu-
lions the abolition of Iron and Coal Police and
the withdrawal of all police forces from the
strike area must be demanded; lnJuncuons
agains picketing arresting, failing and shooting
the strikers must be vigorously condemned and
the right to picket must be demanded.
Agricultural workers and toiling farmers
should arrange meetings everywhere, take up
this question of organizing relief and pass SOL
idarity resolutions for the striking miners.
Toiling farmers! as you fight against the rob-
berry of trusts and bankers and against the Hoo
yer government and its Farm oBard, against
the taxation burdens, the evictions, aaginst
mortgage foreclosures, etc, combine your fight
with your proletarian brothers in the mine field!
Strengthen your fight by sending relief and ex-
press your solidarity in resolutions.
Send all relief to the following address:

THE present miners strike in Pennsylvania,
L Ohio and West Virginia, is the truggle
against the starvation wages in the coal mine
fields Over forty thousand miners are engaged
in the battle against the coal barons to get liv-
ing wages for themselves and to be able to sup
ocs$ their families.
On the side Of the coal barons in this battle
is the government-Hoover Mellon and Com
representing the combined interests OF the
trusts and bankers and the entire class OF ex-
ploiters of the working class and poor farmers
The whole capitalist class, with all its powerful
weapons with the infamous Iron and Coal Po-
lice State Militia, class courts and newspapers,
is working for the defeat of the miners through
arrests and falling of active strikers and by
threats of deportation of foreign born miners.
They want to force the miners and their families
to submit to starvation conditions, IN order that
the mine owners may be able to reap enormous
profits from the labors of the miners.
The miners are conducting their battle hero
ically They have gone to the picket line en-
masse with their wives, sisters and children, In
spite of arrests jailngs shootings, and in spite
of the fact that some pickets have already been
killed by the murderous thugs of the coal barons
The same Hoover government which is now
doing its utmost to assist the mine owners at
tempt to defeat the miners and compel them to
submit to starvation conditions, is known to the
poor farmers through its actions of assistance to

. Units Must Help Themselves
By N. FIELD New Jersexl .

AT the last unit meeting dorsey City unit)
II the question Of headquarters was discussed
and the entire question was based on how to
get $14 more in order to pay rent for the month
put the question of headquarters in a different
manner. 1t is not only question of $14. Sup
pose we get money for two monehs' rent; viii
this solve the problem2 The question of head
quarters is question of activity.
The unit has not been carrying on any &C
tivities, not single ampaign-Election, Daily
Worker, Scottsboro Trade Union, etc. This unit
has membership Of 20 comrades, many of
them very good elements; another unit with less
forces is doing much more The five new mem
bers who joined the Party recently are getting
discouraged. The Section and District are Of
the same opinion.
Headquarters can be maintained only through
activities. Organize L. S. N. r. groups, revive
the International Labor Defense iii this town.
Many comrades are working in shops-form
Trade Union groups. Conduct the work of the
John Reed Club in proper manner and the
Negro comrades will not kick about discrmina
ton there. Spread the Daily Worker and Lib
orator where you collected Scottsboro sigma
lures; place these papers on the news stands.
Most of the workers in town do not yet know Of
the existence of our Party here When they
co. we Will not nave TO waste GlE1e on now 10
get $14
1t is true that the police terror has increased
to great extent and it is difficult to work here
and the Section and District will have to come
and help But do not give the excuse that the
District broke the police terror in New Bruins
wick and Yonkers and therefore we will wait
until the District will mobilize the entire forces
to break the police terror. In New Brunswick
and Yonkers the comrades suffered enough, car
ried on activities and developed the struggle;
many meetings were broken up, many heads
were broken before the District could come to
help. If the Unit is of the opinion that the
Section and District should send comrades for
chairman, speaker, to distribute leaflets and to
get a permit for the meeting then what do we
need the unit for?
The Unit must stabilize itself on function
ing basis. Exercise your tongue in the open-air
meetings, and show to the workers that we ur-
derstand the situation. Instead of coming to
the Unit with your Party book merely to pay
dues once in two weeks, come to the headqua
| tiers twice a week without your book Be
| tive between the meetings. Do not wait for he
| from the Section and District. When you
| gin to show some activity, be sure that the Part
will not leave you all alone, but will help you
in every way. If you will wait for good or
ganizers to be sent you, you will have to wait
too long You are able to develop yourself and
the other comrades and increase your useful
ness to the Party.

Farmers: Help the Miners Strike

Wall Street financiers, railroad companies, ele-
vator and terminal companies, implement trusts,
wheat SPECTATORS, local bankers, money lenders,
rich farmer capitalists and landlords, in robblng
the tenant farmers, share choppers and poor
farmers This same government which through
its armed thugs and deputy sherffs arrests, Jalls
and shoots striking miners is assisting the rob-
bers of the poor farmers in forcibly collecting
debts and taxes in auctioning their animals and
implements, in forecosing their mortgages and
evicting them from their farms.
The miners are fighting the struggle OF the
whole working class, and also the poor afrmers.
Therefore we must assist them with all our
power to win this strike.
We must express our solidarity with their
struggle, not only in words but in deeds. We
must send all possible material help SO that they
need not surrender their demands, because they
and their families have nothing to eat.
We know that the poor farmers have no
money They cannot help in that form But we
are certain that all poor farmers who under
stand the significance of the miners struggle,
can and are willing to spare some food
We ask the toilers on the land everywhere
throughout the country to rally to the relief
of our striking brothers in the mine fields. Get
your neighbors together. Explain to them the
meaning of this struggle of the miners. Select
a Relief Committee and begin to gather food,

Theodore Dreiser's Exposure of
I1MWA and Mr.. Green's Defense
WHAT DO YOU SAY, WORKERS?

The United Press on Friday carried two stor-
les one by Theodore Dresser, famous author
written from the miners strike which he is
personally investigating Another story Is that
by Mr. William Green, President Of the A F.
of L. In Dreiser's story he made many charges
against the betrayal policies of the UMWA and
he A. F. of L. His charges bear out the attack
of the Trade Union Unity League and the Com
munist Party against the reactionary ofhclaldom
of the United Mine Workers and the A. F. OF L.
Mr.. Dresser has not yet covered all aspects OF
the miners strike, but he has already fired
shell into the camp of the treacherous a F. OF
L. of1cialdom which has made them run Tor
cover. Lewis has not dared to reply to the at
tack but William F. Green, has come forward
in a defense O the A. F. of L. and the UMWA
The Daily Worker gives the main points OF
Dreser's attack and the defense OF Mr.. Green
below; and asks all workers, particularly the
striking miners miners of other fields to give
their opinion upon the questions at issue which
not only affect this strike, but which involve
the whole question of the struggle OF the work
ers against the offensive of the capitalists.
The Daily Worker will publish all letters. 1t
will likewise participate in this discussion and
uncover the srike- breaking policies and practices
of Lewis and Green.

Comrades, let's wake up and find out now
