CINCINNATI ALLOWS
BUNDLES TO ROT

From comrade we received a little
note commenting on the Party head
quarters in Cincinnati, Ohio, and its
relation to the Daily Worker.
TN corner discovered several
bundles of Daily Workers. some of
which had never been opened, and
others that looked as though the
bundles had fallen apart rather
than been opened. Have hesitated
in bringing this to your attention,
but, in my opinion and that of sew
eral comrades with whom I've dis
cussed 1t, the matter is too inpor-
tant to admit of any personal
scruples delaying correction of
this condition"
The Cincinnati comrades would do
well to consider this matter OF suffi-
Gent Importance to sell and dis
tribute the papers where contacts
with workers might be gained, at
meetings and demonstrations. Must
leading functionaries be told that the
Daily Worker is NOT printed for
storage purposes?

HARLEM YOUTH
STATE STAND

The Harlem Youth Progressive
Club sends in the following state
ment for publication:
Recent publications in the work

the Harlem Progressive Youth Club

specific example our affair which
was recently held.
cat first we denied any such ten
denotes on the part of our member
ship at that affair claiming that all
present were not our members, and
therefore we could not be respon-
sible, but recent occurrences in our
club proved to us that the criticism
was justified, and as a workers or
ganization we openly condemn all
MEMBERS of our club who still
possess such tendencies.
"we, therefore. undertake to carry
out systematic educational cam
paign which will explain to our men,
bership the Importance of solidarity
of negro and white workers and to
expose openly any member who is
guilty Of race discrimination"

ARE
REAL SLAVES
Lying Volksraad Plans
Ban On Soviet Goods

THE HAGUE-Members of the
,Volksraad of Batavia, the capital of
Java, in the Dutch East Indies.
"have vigorously protested, asking
measures against the dumping of
Russian imported goods, which, they
assert, are produced by the worst
possible form of slave labor" New
York Times, March 81
In view of the fact that Javanese
workers are actual slaves, this cry
against Russian slave" labor is the
most shameless hypocrisy. Natives
are forced by the Dutch imperialists
to leave Java, densely populated
region, and emigrate to Sumatra,
sparsely inhabited territory, to work
on the rubber plantations which are
under the iron heel of American dol
lars.
Labor is extracted by the govern
ment from the workers to from 80
to 40 days year. This work is en-
tirely compulsory and is not paid
for. DR.. Kirk Fock, former governor
general of the Netherland Indies,
stated that a clause was put in the
government ordinance that makes
this labor compulsory. "a workman
who, on insufficient grounds, lays
down his work or quits the service
is liable to punishment" This work
is entirely forced, and is not paid for.
Conditions are miserable. Disease
and death rate high. The natives
are real slaves.

Fulton Fish Market
Workers Receive
Big Wage Cut
10000 Effected By At
tack by the Fish
Merchants

NEW YORK.-The Jewish section
Of fresh water fish merchants put a
20 per- cent cut into effect and laid
off one third Of the hands.
1t is now rumored that if the work.
ers remain silent the salt water mer-
chants will also put this cut into
effect.
The salt water merchants have al
ready given vacations" to several
of their old hands, Fulton Fish Mar
ket is Americas second largest port
Of the fishing industry. Covering
about 8 city blocks and three or four
peers and docks.
There are approximately 500 mer-
chants and about 10000 workers are
indirectly and directly involved in this
industry, /. e. truck drivers, fishermen,
etc. The market merchants will con-
tinue to rob the fishermen and boost
prices on their supposedly fresh fish.
Most of the fresh fish comes from a
wheat growing area OF western Cana
da, Saskatchewan.
From time of leaving waters to ar
rival in New York City usually takes
seven days so one can readily under
stand how the merchants must feel
about wage cut, SO as to enable the
poor dealers to sell strictly fresh fish.
The average wage for market men,
before the cut was between IS and 40
dollars week, hours from in the
morning to 4 in the evening. In one
part of the market there is q racket

GARY, Ind. Tightens ''Daily"
Apparatus; Seattle Red Neqvs
Club Holds Affair March II

From Alice Phillips, new Daily
Worker representative of the Calu-
met Section Of Gary, Ind, we re-
ceived report indicating real vital
ity and initiative.
'Tn the past the Daily Worker
has not been circulated very much
in this section" she writes. GAS
matter Of fact, when somebody felt
like going out with the Daily they
went, but there was no real cam
paign to get subs and sell DaiIies.
Now we will try to remedy this
situation and start from the be-
ginning and build up the sales
here"
Comrade Phillips doel not stop
with circulation measures. She In
forms us of an old bill outstanding,
of which $76 was sent to the Daily
for an affair week ago, and assures
us that she will see to it that in the
future many more organizations ar
range affairs, and also will intensity
sales and subs. Her energy as well
as her enterprise, in her new func-
ton are encouraging.
'In order to get the comrades
working here, we would like to
have two bundles already coming
to Gary increased by so copies.
This will give us 100 a day. AS
soon as we get more comrades we
will further increase the bundle
orders. We also need all sorts of
material for the Daily-sub blanks,
posters advertising the Daily, ETC.,
as we plan to have Red Sundays"
With the driving force of Repre-
sentative Phillips, the Calumet Sec
ton should steadily build up good,
strong Daily Worker apparatus, and
we look forward to more reports con-
firming our prediction.

into the back of his victim. Perhaps
he had seen the copy Of the Daily
Worker which exposed his Justice"
in the case of four workers who led
a group of unemployed workers into
a street car and refused to pay fare.
Here was his opportunity for revenge.
He began his TRADE: "These Com
munists are general nuisance. Gle,
of course, meant to his masters, the
bosses of Chicago. Why are not
vagrancy charges placed against
them They are the ones against
whom the vagrancy act should be
applied"
This same Judge Mccarthy had
freed several notorious gangsters
charged under the vagrancy law. But
gangsters are important people,
friends of judges and other politi-
clans. While revolutionary workers
are the bitterest enemies Of all ex-
ploiters and their henchmen, the
judges and politicians.
1.-TWO hundred and costs" snapped
the willing tool of the Northwestern
Railway Co. and the Chicago Sur
face lines. Naturally the unemployed
worker could not pay the fine. He
has to serve three months in the
workhouse.
This case is, Of course, not an iso-
lated instance. Nor is this Judge an
exception. The increase in the in
fluence of the Communist Party, the
Trade Union Unity League and I'm.
employed Councils over the working
masses is quite evident. For that
reason more detectives have been
placed in the 'red" squad; for that
reason the whole capitalist machinery
has been geared to crush all at
tempts on the part of the militants
to organize the workers. The police
have their orders; the Judges have
received theirs. Terrorize, intimidats
all revolutionary elements.
Judge Mccarthy, therefore, in sen.
fencing an unemployed worker Il
three months in Jail for selling the
Daily Worker only followed the or.
ders Of his masters.
But the workers Of Chicago mus

Councils. We will struggle for re.
