the hall with them.
81 am in my 10th year. I am
busy woman, and know full well
what hard times are"
This letter is an indication Of what
farmers all over the country are
thinking and doing. The farmers are
waking up to the realization that
their interests are the same as the
interests of the workers in the cities
and that they both have a common
enemy-the bosses, who rob the farm
ers and the workers of the fruit of
their toll.
For example we quote from another
farmers letter, sent from Pillager,
Mimi, II am enclosing ST. Comrade
M. c. writes. TO renew your sub
scription to the Daily Worker. This
subscription is month overdue, but
with potatoes 25 cents a hundred
pounds dollar is hard to spare all
at once. All other farm produce is
priced just as low as potatoes, and
the farmers are asking, 'Why?'
Potatoes are a dollar bushel in
western Minnesota and southern Wis
conSin, and why should they be 9 to
10 cents a bushel here? We never
miss chance to tell them why"
This Minnesota farmer wants the
Daily Worker so hard that he is will
ing to send us the price Of 400 pounds
of potatoes just for two months
subscription. This case and many
other cases of the awakening class
consciousness of the American farmer
is good sign of the coming of the
American workers and farmers pro-
letarian government.
American Greetings to America
Meanwhile we can get inspiration
from the news of the first workers
and farmers government, the U. S.
S. r. and from the realization OF
the class solidarity that unites our
fate with the fate of the proletarian
fatherland. A splendid sign of this
solidarity is the donations the Daily
Worker has been receiving from Am
erican workers who have been for
tunate enough to be able to get to
the Soviet Union to help in the work
of socialist construction. Four groups
of workers, carpenters, bricklayers.
plumbers and miners, who left the
United States for the Soviet Union on
the Majestic at the beginning Of this
month, held an entertainment in the
ships dining salon, and in a collec-
ton there for the Daily Worker OBJ
tanned $50, which they have sent us.
Workers of the workers fatherland
do not forget their comrades in cap
ftalist countries who haze still the old
order to clear away before they can
build the new future. We must show
these workers in the U. S. S. r. that
we are determined TO follow the path
that they have shown us. That is one
of the reasons for the Noenber 7
