Starvation. Misery. Suffering. Our

I call upon you to join the Party

to organize, prepare for the end to
the shame Of firing, using work

II. P. Body Gamers

OAKLAND, GAIA month ago,
during the cherry season, the H. P.
Body Canning Co., cut wages Of the
men from 4oc to Csc. an hour and
the Gamers from SC to &c and 1c
per tray. The same cut was given
on the apricot pack. Workers-about
so Gamers struck, but because of lack
Of leadership were forced to go back
Now on pear pack last week girls
struck again, but the bosses scared
them back into submission, by telling
them the police would be called in
and they will beat them up. They
had to give in on the second at
tempt, because they we're completely
unorganized.
Since the San Jose cannery strike
the night shift has been put on work
ing on the fruit sent from San Jose.
But the police and the detectives are
stationed around day and night to
watch that no one Of the San Jose
strikers enters to pull these workers
out.
The truck loaded with fruit was
intercepted on the way here by the
strikers and delayed shipment, with
a result that last Sunday all work.
ers had to stay home.
Workers resent this and readily give
their story to Agricultural Workers
Industrial Union organizers. This
time they realize that an organiza-
ton must be built in order to fight
better and in their third attempt they
are bound to put up an affective
fight. That's the right spiritl Build
your Agricultural Workers Industrial
Union. -Cannery SIare.

Daily Worker
Here in San Jose we just went
through a cannery strike against the
most miserable starvation wages paid
any workers in the country, ten cents
TO thirty-three cents per hour. In
this struggle for better wages we
were confronted with the extremely
brutal terror of the state, which, in
the interest Of the cannery bosses,
used every available city police, state
highway police, national guard and
$50 deputized American Legionnaires,
to terrorize the workers, and break
our strike.

other crops are on the level with

What Price Patriotism?
Farmers--what price patriotism?
Who is the dearest to you, the bandit
landlords or your families? It's time
to decide. We will have to fight
for the right to live. If we don't
the landlords will deprive us of our
last foothold in life.
While the bankers shout that the
banks are in good conditions we see
them closing daily. While the takers
cry prosperity we look at our empty
cupboards and pull our belts in an
other notch.
Teachers Salaries Cut
Teachers salaries out here are cut
$40 month and they are given more
work to do. The harvest hands got
a so per cent cut in pay. The Twin
Falls Canal Company cut the wages
20 per cent with more work to do.
Some of the poor sheep owners are
hit real hard. One man with 1000
held of 6-year-old sheep told me that
if conditions did not get better this
Fall ne would have to leave his sheep
on the range this winter and it is
impossible for the sheep to live thru
the winter.
We poor farmers have to do lot
of work right now, even though we
are gradually being ruined. AS soon
as the harvest is over I will have
more time for agitating and organ
izing the farmers into the United
Farmers League.

CLEVER COOKS
When Sugar Is Combined
With Salt It Makes a Fine
Seasoning

It is surprising how widely sugar
can be used in the seasoning Of
food. AS a matter of fact some
cooks keep a mixture Of sugar and
salt within reach to season meat
and vegetable dishes. The proper.
lions vary, although equal parts of
each will cover most needs.
Salt alone overcomes fatness ir
meats and vegetables. When a dash
# sugar is added, the flavor is
rounded out" to a tasteful good
ness. Recently housewife discov-
cred this secret in making a vege-
able soup. When she tasted it after
adding salt, there seemed to be
something lacking. Finally she put
N a teaspoonful Of sugar. The re-
suit was delicious.
French dressings are also i'm

blends the salt, oil and vinegar into

OLD POTATOES

In late spring the "old" potato
is not as good as it once was and
the new potatoes are perhaps too

of the menu needs Frightening up

effort the following recipes will

Grilling potatoes is a simple
trick, and this is how it is done:
Slice cooked potatoes lengthwise,
brush with melted butter. sprinkle

under a flame.
Another potato dish that is less
trouble that either French or Ger

For this wash, pare and slice the
potatoes thinly. Let them stand
one-haf hour in cold water, then
drain and dry between towels.

Pittsburgh potatoes are made
in much the same way, but have
the added trouble of dipping each
slide in melted butter or other
fat, sprinkling with salt and
paprika and baking in a casserole
at 350-400 F.. until brown. The
extra deliciousness of each piece
justifies the effort, however.
