single mass meeting in spite of many attempts
The miners refuse to attend The UMW.A. Or
ganizers being driven out of the field. Few of
their followers are trying to scab. They are or
ganizing back-to-work movements Not one
miner in course of the strike joined the
U.MWA.
And yet, in view of these undisputable facts,
the capitalist press of the whole Western Penn
syvarlia is printing miles long stories playing up
the U.M.W.A. as the leader of the strike. This
is being done in an attempt to prevent the
spreading of the strike which means defeat of
the strike. They know that the miners will re-
fuse to strike under the leadership of the UNI
WA. The capitalist press, in long editorials and
special articles, is urging the coal operators to
sign an agreement with the UMW.A. if they
want to prevent the growing strength of the Ma
tional Miners Union. The claim that the UNI
WA. will cooperate with the coal operators to
"stibilize" the industry. Unheard of campaign of
lies is being organized against the NMU.
In order to counter-act these lies, in order to
expose the strike breaking role of the UMWA.
in order to bring the militant program of the
NM.U. to the miners. we need tens of thousands
of copies of the Daily Worker every day, espe-
cially as we have no official organ of our own
But the Daily Worker finds itself in severe fl
nancial crisis which threatens its very existence
and cannot afford to send us tn ncssary.
Therefore, in the name of the striking and
starving miners, we appeal to all the readers
and sympathizers of the Daily Worker to rush
funds to the Daily Worker enabling it to send
tens of thousands of copies every day to the
striking miners. In this way you will help ire
mendously to win the miners strike which is di-
rected against mass hunger

AMONG the countries in the Caribbean where
five observe the absence of crystallized Com
munist parties, Porto Rico presents all the
requisites for the objective conditions as the
basis for the immediate development of the
Communist movement.
What are the objective conditions? y the exist
ence of a proetariat partly organized in trade
unions which for long time have been under
the influence of social-fascist leaders and the
head of which Is the arch betrayer Santiago
Iglesias. We witness today rapid organiza-
tional disintegration of the Federasion Libre due
to tlae long standing treactery of the nisleaders
OF the Socialist Party and the American FEEDER
ton Of Labor; . the unorganized workers in the
plantations who are the most downtrodden ex-
plotted stratum of the toiling masses of Porto
Rico are showing signs of combativeness and
willingness to organize in class trade unions;
81 tbs oppressed non-proletarian masses OF the
dsderd, the peasants and city poor, driven by de-
speir and starvation as result of the DONNA
ton Of Yankee Imperialism, are beginning to
turn their backs to the native bourgeois polit-
clans the allancistas urlionistas, socialists and
the demagogic rationalists They are ready to
struggle for the complete national liberation Of
Porto Rico. Even Hoover was compelled to adj
nit in his recent imperialist trip to the island
that there IS a growing demand OF Porto RlcanS
for the independence of their country. To what
extent has Communist influence penetrated the
very minds Of the workers and poor peasants can
be seen by the response of the masses to the
calls Of the Conunists-although not yet or
gained In the homogeneous groups-at mass
meetings and demonstrations against unemploy-
n1ent. In the city of Ponce. more than 1000
workers responded to the call OF the Communists
on May Day in the Plaza Munoz Rivera The
Communist speakers we're cheered. The workers
hailed the Soviet Union.
The economic crisis in the United States has
tremendously accentuated the crisis in Porto
Rico which dates back for years. Because OF
the very monocultural nature OF the economy of
the country, the crisis in the sugar market
brought the country on the brink of ruin and
starvation. More than go per cent of the workers
are unemployed today. American imperialist
domination of Porto Rico for the last 80 years
brought untold misery and physical degeneration
OF the nation. More than 100000 people are
suffering from the dreadful disease of hookworm.

the following morning we have to leave.
This winter I Travelled about $4,000 miles all
over the U. S. A. and find great sympathy for
the Communist Party, but the Party doesn't
know about it because these workers are scat

Some Notes from st. Louis
A Note from A Migratory
Worker

y Three Negro workers became interested in
the movement After some discussion among
themselves they decided to join the Communist
Party One of them came to the Party head
quarters on a Monday. There meeting of
the unemployed council then, so he joined it.
The second worker came on Tuesday The
Party unit met then. He filled out an applica-
ton and joined. The third one came on Thurs
day. The International Labor Defense met that
night. So he joined the International Labor De-
Tense. For three months after this happened,
the three of them thought that thy belonged to
the same organization, the Communist Party.
. Comrade K became interested in the Party
last November He read about it in the capitalist
press. As worker he learned from his own ex-
perience that his place was in the Communist
Party. He wanted to join, but he couldn't find
the Party or any of the organizations connected
with the Party. He couldn't even get a hold of
the Daily Worker or of anything at all to get
in touch with us. Only few days before May
Day one of the workers in the shop where he is
working came over to him and gave him leaf
let, that was given out on the street. saying
Here, you were talking about communism they
are going to have a meeting" That finally
brought him to us after six months searching for
the Party.
81 A Party speaker calls upon an audience OF
workers, in the name of the Party, T.U.UL
LID, Unemployed Council, L.S.N.R,, YCL. to
join the movement. A worker who came to the
meeting having in mind to join the Unemployed
Council, asks another worker Does he want us
to Join the whole bunch of them?"

on our markets. Sometimes a home
maker finds when she has pared and

happens, but it is not slightly. To avoid
difficulty, drop it into cold water as
soon as 1t is cut, says the bureau of

served in a white sauce more often
than any other way, but it may also
be dipped in flour and fried.
