Some of the clubs have not proven
successful because they missed out
on personal contacts. The first ap-
proach to workers in any territory for
building Daily Worker Club is Of
course the hardest. We must to
large extent depend upon the readers
and subscribers Of the territory to
start the work and give It impetus,
but this means personal contact. For
the first meeting all the units and
party apparatus in a given territory
must be modified for the important
work Of canvassing and visiting the
readers Of the Daily Worker. 1t is
this personal contact, this personal
conception of what the Daily Worker
Club is, how it is organized, how it
functions, that very often makes or

will profit by this personal touch,

we're taken to Receiving Hospital and
given the first substantial food they
have had in a week"
At the same time, workers who
steal few cents or dollars to keep
from starving are given long prison
terms under Murphys regime, while
the Detroit gangsters get police pro-
lection. The Detroit Times reported
the case Of Albert Mioducki, so, who
stole pair of shoes worth $295 from
a department store. Mioducki was
practically barefooted, unemployed
and hungry. He was given an 1s-
month prison term in jackson prison
by Judge w. Mckay Skillman who
Undoubtedly lets dozens of his gun
men and gangster friends go scott
free for no less than murder.
The situation this coming winter
will be much worse in Detroit, as 1t
will be throughout the United States.
Mayor Murphy, and the socialist in
harmony with the big automobile
bosses in Detroit are forcing hun
dreds to death from starvation. Hun
ger and starvation are spreading rap
idly. Only the Communist Party, the
Unemployed Councils of the Trade
Union Unity League are carrying on
militant fight against the starva-
ton which the bosses seek to en-
force.

GREEN DEMANDS"
MEET FOR RELIEF
Acts With Hoover
Against Jobless

Under the guise Of speaking in the
interests of the unemployed, william
Green, president of the American
Federation Of Labor, came out for
collaboration with the bosses to pre-
vent the unemployed for getting i'm
mediate relief. Speaking at the con-
vention Of the Association of Street
Railway and Electric Railway En-
pIoyees in Boston Monday, Green pro-
posed that Hoover call a conference
of the leaders of labor and of indus
try Immediately. The leaders Of la
Dor who would be called to such a
conference are the takers in the A.
F. of L.
The workers know what the pur-
pose Of such conferences is. The Of
ficials of the United Mine Workers
asked for such conference with the
coal operators and still demand it in
order to prevent the workers from
organizing under the militant leader
ship of the National Miners Union
for determined struggle against the
wage cuts and intensified speed-up
of the bosses. No wonder that Green
says that the A. F. Of L. would CO.
operate to the fullest at such a con-
ference"
Mason, president Of the Street Rail
way Employees Association, under
whose leadership the street railway
workers of st. Louis have been forced
to take a sharp wage cut, seconded
Green's proposal by asking that a
resolution be adopted calling for such
a conference to mislead the workers.
The leaders of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor are calling for a
conference of Hoover and the big
bankers and factory owners in order
to prevent the workers from conduct
ing militant campaign for immed-
late relief and unemployed insurance.

For the large corporations and other

greater the amount of current used,
the lower does the rate drop. And
since the same banks that own the
electric companies own the other
large industries, the saving goes
from one pocket of the bankers into
the other. At the same time, the in

The slashing of the unemployment

family was forced to live in the park.
They were taken to the hospital, and

Dujardin insisted that he had eaten

physicians who examined him said
he must have been without solid food
for long time"

how the expectant mother risked
death with her baby coming on and

made three weeks ago resulted in

was performed.
Yesterday an old woman, So years
Of age who lives on Lewis Street,
came to a meeting of the Downtown
Unemployed Council. She said she
had been having trouble with the
electric company and wanted to
know If we could help her. For
years her electric bills had been Z to
IA cents a month in the summer,
and a little more in the winter. This
month she was sent bill for $1.00,
becuse according to the ruling Of the
so-called Public Service Commission
The minimum monthly charge, be-
ginning August LIST, was made $1.00
This old woman told us that she
worked up till 10 and IL o'clock
every night eking out an existence
selling ties or magazines, and in this
way living on So a week. To have to
pay $1oo a month to the electric
company means a terrific blow to her
already poverty stricken manner of
living.

Thus we see that the much her

company this change In electric

Donate to Striking =.
Miners Relief Fund

NEW YORK.-The workers in the
American-Journal Chapel, rank and
file members of the International
Typographical Union, Local No. 6
(AFL), showed solidarity with the
striking miners by contributing s1o.83
to relief and pledging themselves to
collect an additional $50 for the same
purpose. The donation was sponta-
neously suggested by workers in face
Of the fact that the bureaucracy Of
the Executive Council Of the Inter
national Typographical Union sent a
letter of protest against its members
aiding the heroic miners who are
fighting starvation.
Approximately $50 has been re-
ceived for the miners from the
World Telegram Chapel, also rank
and file members Of the same union.
Additional funds have been pledged.
These collections are separate from
regular box collections which are
taken up every payday.
Workers, the new tactics Of the
Strike Committee makes the need for
relief more imperative than ever!
Rally to the aid of these militant
workers. Their fight against starva-
ton is the first great onslaught of
the working class against the wage
cutting drive of the bosses. This is
the struggle Of the whole working
class Every worker should join in

other soul factory, where they were
giving meal and flop. Well, we lis
tened to an assortment of preachers
telling us to have faith in the lord.
Then q guy got up and began raving
about the Starvation Army. He said
they were a lot of cheap crooks and
takers chat was the only thing he
said all night that I believed. He
said he ought to handle the relief.
Maybe he's better crook. We ate,
or, rather, they did. I could not.
They did not even bother to wash
the dishes after each sitting, just
rinsed them around in cold water.
They offered as many as could sleep
on the concrete floor a chance to
flop. I land down for about half an
hour and got up lousy and had to
boil up in the jJngles next day.
These lousy takers are even graft
ing on us when we are on the soup
line. To hell with them. Let's get
in the Unemployed Council and fight
for unemployment insurance. In
the meantime if we have to have
soup lines let us force the city to
tax the big bosses and let us run our
own soup lines with this money they
have stolen from us on the job.
