POOR dear Herriot
What the Forward proposes is that
America should sign a security
pledge TO protect France against
enemy aggression. This, the paper
says, 'the free peoples in Europe and
America" should urge their govern
ments, lin order that the work of
both international conferences Oau-
same and Geneva may be soon
crowned with success"
1t will be remembered that the
Jewish Daily Forward is a pro-Hill-
quit paper. 1t viii also be remem-
bered that at the socialist conven-
ton at Milwaukee, Hillquit spoke in
an almost MARKHAM" fashion about
the bankruptcy of capitalism and the
urgency of workers struggle. These
were socialist words. Now we have
socialist deeds. The socialists fully
agree with Hooyers proposal to cut
the arms of other states so that the
arms of American imperialism may
be proportionally stronger. The So
cialists fully agree with France in
her cry for security" which is moth
ing but an attempt to achieve a
formal imperialist alliance against
the Soviet Union. (How "aggressions"

Will Be Remembered.
Ryan Walker will live in the hearts
Of the workers, and particularly those
who knew him. He had a most
lovable and charming personality. He
was unselfish, and a loyal fighter in
the ranks of the working class His
visit to the Soviet Union, though be-
ing then quite i'll, was the browning
adventure of his coltorful career, he
had travelled 10000 miles over the
U. s, S. r., seeing the great work Of
Socialism and glorying in the real
ization of his dream, the triumph OF
the workers.

and file committee to speak to the
boss. The boss had already informed
the cop who came with his horse and
marched right into the shop. The
workers showed their indignation and
gave the cop the razz. The cop i'm
mediately became very brave and
tried to start a fight. Seeing that
this failed, he tried to spread diSsen-
ton in their ranks by saying that he
didn't mind their striking but there
must be no disorder or people would
call them Reds.
The spokesman for the committee
was a Socialist sympathizer. He re-
ported that they had only discussed
with the boss the question Of the re-
turn OF the unannounced part of the
cut, but they accepted the cut. He
asked those who wanted to vote for
this to raise their hands. One raised
his hand and took it down again.
This spokesman asked the men four
times the same question and made
sure to tell them that it was bucking
up against stone wall to resist the
cut. Then the men with two cops and
the bosses standing in their midst
started to go in. Some started to
stay out, but were afraid of being
victimized.
The workers should not become
discouraged. They won one demand
by staying out without any organ
ization whatsoever. If they had been
organized, they could have forced the
boss to take back the wage cut. There
will be another wage cut. The work
ers should organize now before it
comes. Join the militant Auto Work.

Hoover calls unemployment relief

Party Garner Bill for unlimited

Furthermore, Foster points out, Gar

means unemployment insurance, and

Foster is scheduled to speak Sun
day in Los Angesles, Monday in San

Throughout his campaign. Foster
emphasizes that only the Communist
Party stands for, and fights for day
by day, the workers real interests.
The Communists demand unemploy-
ment insurance at the expense of the
state and the employers, no wage
cuts, no imperialist war. and demand
relief for the poor farmers, no fore
closures or seizure of land for non
payment of taxes.

Ryan Walkers Life and Work Built
Around Struggles of American Labor
Artist Thousand Workers

DORM at Springfield, KY, on Decenl-
" Der IS, 1870, Ryan Walkers early
life was spent on billy, rolling farm.
His people were of the early English
settler stock, with a dash Of Scotch
and Irish.
Early Talented
AT a very early age, Ryan Walker
developed the traits which had such
a decided influence upon his career.
To think for himself and express his
own ideas, to read and reach out be-
yond his narrow environment, to
draw pictures on every scrap of paper
he could find, and to have a warmth
for working folk-the twenty miles
from a railroad, in the days before
the telephone, radio or automobile.
Ryan's particular delight was to
print with a pencil and draw car
toons for a little newspaper, and his
mother used to help him print the
words. From his mother, he acquired
that fine sympathy and understand
ing which made him rebel against
the hidebound religious bigotry and
rotten injustice, which later found
a definite expression in his intensity
as a Communist.
Studies Art
Ryan went to Texas with his par
ents. Later his father died and his
mother remarked and went to Kan
sas City. Ryan attended the public
schools in Kansas City and then
spent two years studying art in New
York.
He sold his first political cartoon
to Judge when he was sixteen years
old. Upon finishing his art school
ing, he returned to Kansas City,
where he took his first newspaper
job with the Kansas City Star. 1t
was on the Kansas City Times, that
Ryans cartoons began to attract ma
tional attention and be copied in pub
lications- all over the world. The
country was at high pitch over the
Bryan camp align, and
Ryan's pictures of Mckinley as pup
pet Napoleon on hobby-horse and
Mark Hanna dressed in dollarmark
checked suit created a great demand
and many copies were distributed in
the campaign.
Ryan then went to the st. Louis
Republic and developed the first color
section for that paper. His work by
this time was well known throughout
the newspaper world and he began to
get offers to come east. About this
time, he married Maud Davis.
Comes East
Ryan came to New York in 1901,
and during the following years con-
tributed work to large number of
newspapers and magazines. Later,
for three years he was art director of
the New York Graphic.
For number of years he was a
regular contributor to the Appeal to
Reason, creating the comic strip,

Henry Dubb" was reprinted in
booklet form and hundreds of thou
sands of copies were distributed. He
illustrated many tracts and booklets
which were sent out by thousands.

the U. S. and Canada. These talks

The capitalist newspapers didn't
say much about it when the Dies Bill
was railroaded through the House of

bosses are busy trying to shove this
deportation and terror bill through
the senate.
In the same way the capitalist
newspapers are covering with smoke

being made for a new world slaugh-
ter.
Awake to Danger Now
And just as the workers, through

coming out in protest demonstrations
to block this vicious measure, SO too,
on far wider scale, must the work.

sudden increase in the activity of
munition plants.
Does Your Neighbor Know
You, reading the Daily Worker,
are aware OF what is going on. But
does your Shopmate know about it?
Does your neighbor know? And with
out their help, without millions of
workers getting together, is it possible
to think seriously of smashing the
bosses war plans.
That is why it has been decided to
print one million copies of the anti
war issue of the Daily Worker on
August /, which is International Anti
War Day. These million copies are
printed with the knowledge that
thousands of workers already know
how near we are to world war; and
are willing to bend all their efforts
to distribute this issue on mass
scale.
What will be your part, reader, in
this mass distribution? Have you
any plans to suggest that individuals
or workers organizations might use
to spread this anti-war issue. We
shall be glad to hear from you,

to his drawing board and sent out
his Bill Worker" Red Pepper" and
John Henry" to carry on the fight
with those comrades. &?
Ryan Walker is dead. He died in
the Soviet Union, the land where
bill Worker" rules. Born on a small
Kentucky farm in 1870, he grew up
with the labor movement which was
beginning to assert itself alongside
the rise of big industry. He was
still in his teens when the Hay
market martyrs went to the scaffold.
Thomas Mast was making the Tam
many tiger squirm with his savage
drawings. Ryan Walker had just
begun to draw. There were prac-
tically no art schools then in young
artists with false grandiose notions
removed from actual life. Even
il there were, the social conscious
ness and fire in young Walker could
not have been drowned out by falla-
cious teachings He was Irish-Amer-
ican-a fighter. His hOme-spun
technique expressed exactly what he
felt with no frills or trimmings.
Quite naturally he found himself
in the company of other American
fighters, Mother Jones, Bill Haywood,
Mother Bloor and Eugene Debs.
There he found his real function.
And SO Henry Dubb," the strip char
acter known to all old reyolutionaries
was created and lived for years.
The war was over The socialist
party divided into two camps, the
red and the yellow. Things were
moving fast. The Soviet Union be-
came an established fact. Ryan
Walker found himself in a whirI-
wind Of emotions. Old friendships
proved disillusioning, old ideas had
to give way to new. Ryan Walker
had to readjust himself He stopped
drawing until he could see his way
clear again.
The big crash came-1929. The
Communist Party organized the big

that the Party showed the only way
out of this insane, vicious system.

LETTUCE ACREAGE
SHOWS REDUCTION

Lettuce acreage for the 1928
season is considerably smaller
than that for the previous season
according to the estimate COM
piled by B. A. Harrigan, agricul-
tural commissioner. Lettuce acre
age for this season is 29,834 as
compared to 81 ,646 acres last year
Harrigan, however, states that
Que to the losses caused by hot
weather following early paintings
and the effect of the heavy rain
in October, it is estimated that the
effective stand for lettuce has
been reduced about 81 per cent,
leaving an actual acreage of 21,779,
almost 10000 acres less than last
year.
All other acreages, however
show an increase. This year 10,345
acres have been planted to fall
and spring peas as compared to
last years figure of 8,605 acres;
carrot acreage this year is 2,35C
while last years was 1876. Four
hundred acres are planted to cab
bage as compared to 800 of last
year.
S. A. Gerard Co. of Brawley has
the largest acreage in lettuce, 1880
while for spring and fall peas
Wilkinson Bros. of Calipatris
