Spinach Market Firm

Most of the current supply of
spinach in carlots is from the Nor
folk section. Prices average fairly
steady, weakening little at New
York but strengthening in Boston
and Washington. General range was
75c to 81 per bushel although Boston
and Chicago reached top of $1.15
near the end of the month.
Supplies of green peas are still
largely from far western sources
but Carolina stock appears promi-
nently at New York, Boston, Balti-
more and Washington with a obbing
range of SLIPS to 50 per bushel. Ten
dency was slightly downward at New
York but steady elsewhere the last
week of April. Prices of most of
the early vegetables are at levels
fairly satisfactory to producers be
cause of the limited supply from the
usual sections shipping literally at
this season. Asparagus from North
Carolina advanced sharply in Phila
delphia but followed a steady job
bing range elsewhere at $3.50 to
$3.50 per dozen. Georgia stock fol-
lowed a similar range of prices.
Lettuce from North Carolina is firm
in eastern markets at 81 to So per
hamper, New York ranging consider
ably higher than other eastern cities
on this stock and reaching top of
$3.50 for best lots. Romaine from
South Carolina sold at 81 to $3.50
per hamper in eastern markets.
Prices of western lettuce are irregu-
lar but generally well maintained at
recent levels. I'D
Strawberries are moving in liberal
quantities from Louisiana and recent
arrivals have been improving in
quality, free from the soft condition
in earlier shipments.
Competition from other producing
sections is becoming more pro-
nounced. Shipments are increasing
in number from Arkansas, Alabama
and North Carolina. The peak of
he Louisiana shipping movement is
expected early in May.

The rising trend of potato prices
was the main feature of the produce
market near the end of April. The
potato position shows increasing
strength, owing to moderate arrivals
of northern stock and especially to
the decreasing southern shipment,
which are moving in only about one
third the volume of late April and
early May last season. The few re-
naming holdings of sweet potatoes
are selling slowly at irregular prices.
Scattering lots of northern onions
continue to bring high prices. As
paragus, spinach and kale are NOV
ing from earliest northern sections.
The cool, frosty season has made a
better market for hothouse products.
Extra fancy cucumbers grown under
glass sold in numerous markets at
50 to $3.50 per 2-dozen box. Apple
prices have been tending upward
for months and are holding firmly in
eastern markets.

Produce Market Notes

near the first of May. Only occa-
sional carlots are now being shipped
from producing sections and Texas
onions hold the market in such guam
titles that prices have been declining
in producing sections and showing a
decidedly weaker trend in most
northern markets. Declines in the
large eastern cities the last week of
April ranged from 25c to 75c a crate
and general range was $3.50 to So
compared with SO to $3.50 the week
before. Egyptian onions appear in
quantity in several eastern markets
around So per so pounds.
Apple Market Firm
The apple markets in nearly all
parts of the country have been show
ing steady action lately although de-
mand is rather slow. Prices of fruit
in good market condition have been
well maintained with a few scatter
ing gains toward the first of May.
Trading has been light in eastern
producing sections. Prices held
about steady at western New York
country shipping points where a few
sales of No. / Baldwins were made
at SO to $345 per barrel and the
bushel pack ranged $1.10 to $1.15.
Storages east of Rochester are re-
ported fairly well cleaned up and
the bulk of the remaining stock is
held west of that city. Motor trucks
have been handling a considerable
part of the recent movement. Prices
show little change in the city mar
kets. Baldwins are steady at $1.10
to S135 per bushel and $3.50 to 81
per barrel. Best lots of Staymans
and Black Twigs brought $3.50 to
$1.75 per bushel in Baltimore and
Washington. Others ranged $1.25 to
$3.50. Virginia Newtowns or Pippins
strengthened at New York, reaching
50 per bushel, and some lots of Nc
Intosh were selling at that price.
Eastern Yorks brought $11O to $3.50 |
in several markets. Starks sold at
81 to $110 in Pittsburgh Virginia
Winesaps ranged $1.25 to $3.50 in
Philadelphia, Washington and Gin
cinnati. Midwestern apple markets
were nearly steady. There were few
sales at northwestern shipping
points.

Potato Markets Gain

4VtttU MuAACNS OuAM
Prices of old and new potatoes
were tending strongly upward dur
ing the last part of April, owing
mainly to the extremely light move
ment of new potatoes. The freezing
damage to the crop in the second
early sections delayed. the shipping
season and left quite a gap to be
filled by northern potatoes from
storage. Prices have been rising at
southern shipping points, reaching
$3.50 per barrel in Florida and SO
in northern markets. Not many po-
tatoes are moving from Texas and
not many are expected for the pres
ent. Most northern cities report
moderate supplies of potatoes. lin
tied demand and firm prices. The ad-
vance was not so evident as in pro-
ducing sections but Maine Green
Mountains have been selling at
general obbing range of 81 to. $1.25
per 100 pounds. There were small
gains at New York, Boston, and Chi
eoga but fairly liberal supplies al
ready on track prevented any sharp
upturn.
The range of potatoes in produc-
ing sections from West to East is soc
to soc per 100-pounds sacked, an ad-
vance averaging at least 15c from
recent low points. Market action is
still somewhat stronger in the East

The Socialist Party brings forward
its program of government owner

daily struggles, to divert their mill

lobbying and mere voting during cleo

forward as if this meant the abolition

more harmless form.
The Socialist Party joins with the
Republican and Democratic parties,
in attacking the Communist
Party. 1t does this because
the Communist Party exposes
its lies about government own
ershtp, because it helps the miners in
all their struggles, because it helps
them organize militant industrial
unions like the National Miners
Union; because the Communist Par
ty never looks upon the situation of
the miners as hopeless" but says
that rank and file organization and
mass struggle. that the united front
of all miners against treacherous
leaders, the coal operators and capi-
talist government is the most effective
weapon of the miners.
The Socialist Party joins with all
the enemies of the working class
against the Communists because they
point out to the miners that the only
way out of the capitalist crisis is
revolutionary struggle for the over
throw of capitalism and the estab-
lishmen tot a Workers and Farmers

The Socialist Party program Of
government ownership would serve
only to tighten the bonds of capitalist

Letters from Oar

Editor Daily Worker:
Dear Comrade:-I have read the
article of "On the Last Lap of the
Election Campaign by Clarence
Hathaway. Everything sounded
good as far as his suggestions are
concerned, and as / understood he
has mentioned that he is still in
the market for more suggestions to
be made, so I would like to make
one or two and find out whether
he agrees or approves with my sug-
gestion.
/ have noticed that on every sign
that the Communist Party has out
on demonstrations, they always
omit the picture of the hammer
and sickle, which I think is very
important, because / have been
asked by many fellow workers
whether the torch is the Commu-
mist emblem, that they shall vote
for on election day.
Also another suggestion would
like TO make and that is, on Pitkin
Ave and Bristol ST., in Brooklyn,

:ented by the Republican Party,

.ng machine which they instruct

THE CASE OF LAURA SMITH

DRY, the rights Of the toiling whites,
who form a minority Of the pop

just as they are, in similar circum-
stances, in the Soviet Union.
The Democratic and Republican
parties oppose it openly, and in

that they are in favor of the con-

ed into the mines; better and happier
homes; the end of preventable acct
dents; security, health, safety and
freedom"
This reads like the prospectus for
a fake gold mine. The Socialist Par
ty is certainly good booster for
capitalism.
Government ownership, if it were
carried out, means first of
all the shutting down of small
mines and the freezing out of still
more miners from the industry 1t
means more unemployment. 1t means
wages fixed by government boards
under the slogan of compulsory ar
bitration against whose decisions it
would be crime to strike. It means
a system of government spying ex-
ceeding anything that the coal oper-
atorS and John L. Lewis have been
able to do. 1t means the militariza-
ton of the mines.
Government ownership of the
mines under capitalism means still
worse discrimination against TIL e
large numbers of Negro miners. Even
in the United States Army Negroes
are Jim Crowed into separate regi-
mentS, denied promotion and sub
ject to all the tyrannies they suffer
in civil life.
Under capitalism government own
erShip means putting still more of the
burden of the crisis on the masses
by the direct suppressive action of
the government. 1t means the speed
up and exploitation of the miners
directly in the interests of the Wall
Street capitalists who would lend the
government the money to buy the
mines.
@-
Remember ;:lat the Socialist Party
says nothing about confiscation of
mining properties. 1t is against con-
fiScatior. The Socialist Party con-
vention held last summer in Mil
waukes: voted against including con-
fiscation in its platform. Norman
Thomas, its candidate for president.

achieving Socialism in a generation
(this will not brighten the capitalist
class very much-D.B0 if guided by

May Virgins in Gastonia, and

The Negro masses are generally
quicker, I think, to grasp the cor
rectness of the Communist program
than most southern whites. How
ever, I know many white southern
ers, who, like myself, are Commun-
lists. And the many demonstra-
tons and joint actions of white
and colored unemployed workers, as
in Greenville, Atlanta, st. Louis, as
well as in Chicago, Los Angeles
and Detroit, the Scottsboro cam
paign, the coming together Of the
share choppers in the Black Belt,
the growing strike struggles below
the Mason and Dixon line, and
the spreading of the revolutionary
unions in which white and colored
stand side by side, all prove that
southern white labor also Is learn
ing, and pretty fast, that solidarity
and sticking together is the one
way to win.
