EVICT CALF. FAMILIES
One Aged Worker Refuses to Leave

militancy is that of an old and
aged worker who refused to leave
his old tent although he was
threatened with pick, shovel and
jail. These workers only needed
organization and I'm sure all Of
them might have resisted eviction,
but the district here elects people
who jabber too much about Karl
Marx bEs who fail to carry out his
principles Of organization. How
ever, we are trying to get them to
stop and do a little militant work.
As for shop conditions, they arc
very bad. The s. p. r. H. shops,
the canneries. are almost closed
down, working only part Of the
time, at starvation wages. The
petty shopkeepers are beginning to
wake up, they are becoming quite
class-conscious. They will be or
CANNED very soon. As for the rank
and file Of the A. F. Of L., they
are very good. too. One Of these
was very sore at the conditions in
his shop, which is an A. F. Of L.
shop. He bought a Daily from me
and is becoming more attached to
us.
ComradeIy yours.

Another thing I would like to
state to you is the fact that we
get dirty sinking rotten blankets

soap to wash with. The boss in
charge of the cellar flop is lousy
and dirty. He has no feeling for
anybody but for the superinten-

he gets from charging the work

Sacramento, Calf.
Daily Worker:

sacramento, Calf.
Daily Worker:
Here is some news on unemploy-
ment in Sacramento. The poor,
half-starved families who somehow
or other have been able to keep
body and soul together last winter
in the jungles in Yolo County,
across the river from Sacramento,
were given three days notice to
get out.
These families had used all their
efforts In the building up of these
homes. They used pieces Of card
board and old parts of autos, any
thing, to be out of the weather.
These were little diIapidated shacks,
some were tents, yet the law gives
them three days notice to get out.
If they refused they we're threat
ened with Jail sentences.
These men who were ordered by
the bosses were asked what they
got out of driving out these poor
workers from the only shelter they
had. The men answered that they
were working for very low wages
Themselves end Just had to do II.

JOBLESS FATHER
Who Steals to BuyFood
for Family
tBy a Worker Correspondent,

PITTSBURG, Calif.-Steel mills
Pioneer Rubber Co. and other plants
have been only run part time, many
workers being laid off. Older men
have no hopes of ever getting en-
ployment and the situation among
the working strata OF Pittsburg is in
tolerable.
Fritz Biedirstrdt, So, tried to steal
that his wife and two children might
have food and clothing. He entered
an apartment house and stole few
shirts and a portable sewing ma
chine. When arrested he told the
police: II have not worked for year.
My children, one S years and the
other 8 months, are almost naked
There isn't thing to eat in the
house. thought I might sell the
shirts for enough to buy a little
food. took the machine so that my
wife could make some clothes for
the babies"
In jail he tried suicide by hang
ing in a moose improvised from a
handkerchief. Cut down and re-
vived he explained hopelessly: "What
else can I do7 I can't support my
family. If were dead, there'd be
one less mouth to feed and the county
would have to take care of my wife
and babies"

CAL. STEEL MILL
FIRES WORKERS
Rubber and Chemical
Mills Closing

PITTSBURG. Cahf.-1n this So
called western steel town workers
are suffering from unemployment
even more keenly than in other
places.
Steel mills curtailed their produc-
ton sometime ago, laying off great
numbers of workers. The workers
we're promised to be taken on as soon
as the reorganization goes through,
but 1t seems In the last three months
none were taken on.
The Pioneer Rubber Mills in Pitts
burg have been practically closed
down. But now papers advertise that
prosperity" is returning, 90 ON May
promise is given to employ rs
men NORMALLY working over 2oo).
Chemical plant which promised to
start operations the first OF the year
has been working on tests only with
a skeleton crew Of 48o and it Is not
known when it will resume full on
erations. According to the announce
inents, Shell Chemical plant will
start production of artificial fertilizer
May /. Operations commencing on
that date. however. will be to de-
termine whether all the machinery
functions properly when thrown into
unified action" This is all that Is
promised to those hopeful of en-
ployment in this gigantic plant.
Field Workers Get Cuts.
Diablo Valley field work this year
is at lowest ebb. Pea shipping is now
in progress and the workers in the
fields are getting cents per hour
less this year than they received on
the same Job last year. Cauliflower
harvest is paying also cents per
hour less. This proves that the
wages are reduced on all field work
considerable.

OAKLAND, Calif--Many A. r. OF
l. union painters have to sell their
body and soul TO employers these
days. They cannot say anything in
regard to wage-cuts, which in many
cases are pre-arranged in a cunning
way. between the bosses and their
union in order ito alleviate starva-
ton of. the union painters during the
present crisis"
Tt is violation Of the painters
union rules to accept wage under
70 ayday, SO they have been advised
Cor rather sentiment spread from
Union sources) that they must say
they work for 50, but to accept q
Cheek made out for s. per day. This
way hours are not controlled and it
seems that only s. worth Of labor
was performed. Therefore the bosses
are rs to the good and no kick COM
ing that non-union labor is being
employed. That is being practiced In
many places and no need to say the
union does not know. This is one
Of their methods in building u
union and wage scales" Workers arc
beginning to see more and more thu
true face of these so-called unions, /"
which are nothing more than the
right arm Of the bosses.

oNCl ulONoh, OEoOEts
To the staff of the Daily Worker:
Heartiest greetings from the Urals.
I am deeply interested in the life
and work of the correspondents and
editors Of the Communist Press Of
England and America and would
therefore appreciate your answers to
the following questions:
I. What difficulties do you en-
counter in your newspaper work?
2. What is being done to ensure
an efficient staff in the future?
3. How do you lead your struggle
against the reforInists and reaction
aries?
4. What's the increase Of the num-
Der of worcorrs2
Now a little about myself. am
the son of poor peasant, was forced
to earn my own living since II. In
1925 began to work as worcorr in the
Soviet press. Three months ago the
workers of the Lissva metallurgical
plant sent me to the Communist uni
versity in Sverdlovsk. Our section
includes 80 students. The University
supplies us with lodging, electricity,
water, etc, and besides we get los
rubles monthly lover $500. which are
paid by respective factories from
where students have been delegated.
Moreover we enjoy many privileges,
such as free entrance to theatres,
movies, etc. The large majority Of
students are of peasant and worker
origin, only very few are from the
employee class.
AL our section wishes to establish
with you regular letter exchange
and expresses its deep interests in the
life and work of their English and
American colleagues.
Waiting to hear from you soon,
Vassili Kochkin.

Berkeley Mother of 3
JObless: Denied Aid
lBy a Worker Correspondent

10y a worker correspondent
BERKELEY, Gala woman of
about 35 years of age tainted on
Shattuck Ave. Revived by passers-
by, she told that she did not have a
thing to eat Cor 3 days. She has 3
small children and she gave them
the last crumbs to keep them alive.
At the Free Employment Bureau on
Grove st. she was promised a Job
by the clerk. She waited three DAYS
there and the job did not materialize.
Her hunger weakened her so that she
could not walk home the long dis
lance to her children.
She went to the Welfare Associa-
ton asking for assistance and they
told her, "That surely you have par
ents or some relatives or some other
friends and must get them to help
you. We cannot help everybody
here"
Through organization and mass
pressure and continued fighting only,
the workers will be able to get better
conditions.
