Urgent Tasks for
Worker, Farmer
Correspondents
BY CHARLES BLANK

AT the time when the offensive
"a Of American capitalism upon the
standard OF living Of the American
masses is growing fiercer from day
to day, 1t is necessary that every
militant and class-conScious worker
should by every possible means
help to strengthen the revolution
airy press. But good intentions
alone will not make the revolution
airy press grow and strengthen. In
order to accomplish this concrete
steps must be taken to involve a
great majority of these militant
and class conscious workers.
WORKER CORRESPONDENTS
The Daily Worker, the central
organ Of the Communist Party of
the United States Of America, the
organizer of the many militant
mass struggles and movements in
this country, has an army of corre-
spondents, consisting of workers
and farmers scattered in all parts
of the country, who report, occa-
sionally, about conditions in the
mines, mills, factories and on the
farms, who participated and also
took an active part in the organ
ization of various mass struggles.
These worker and farmer CORE
spondents should become the shock
brigadeS in the task in making the
Daily Worker mighty weapon in
the hands Of the American masses.
How? 49,. .<&---.. - 1s.-~
For one thing: again the Unem-
ployed Councils are organizing a
March to Washington to demand
unemployed insurance and relief.
The veterans, under militant lead.
ership, are organizing a Bonus
March to Washington. Simultane-
ously, the farmers are preparing
for National Farmers Conference
in Washington. In all these mass
movements the Worker and Farmer
Correspondents should become the
most important oragni2ationa1 me-
dunn and make them gigantic
success.
THOSE workers and farmers who
L participated in the Unemployed
Hunger March to Washington last
year, or in the Bonus March under
the fake Waters leadership; or in
the Farmers Holiday Strike, under
the Milo Reno type of leadership,
should write their experiences,
their criticisms, their suggestions to
the Daily Worker.
WRITE CONCRETELY
They should write them con-
cretely, with facts, with figures if
possible. They, should report the
organizational progress of these
mass movements, and also report
cases where organization is tagging
behind. With these reports the
workers and farmers will make it
possible for the Daily Worker to
reflect the United Front struggles
of the American masses against the
capitalist offensive.
Workers who do not see their
letters printed have no reason to
get discouraged. They can rest as
sured that their letters were read
carefully, but lack of space makes
it impossible to print a great many
letters; when correspondence is not
published, the worker is generally
informed by letter, The most i'm
portant thing is the information
sent in.
Workers and farmers! Write re-
ports and spread the Daily Workerl
Worker and Farmer Correspond
ents should become the shock bri-
gades of the struggles of the Amer
lean working classi ,r.~. ri,

QUESTION

I'VE, father and sons, have. en-
tered into discussion regarding
whether or not only a rotten eie-
n1ent' attends prize fights, as those
held in Madison Square Garden.
We are all synpathizers of the
Communist Party and would APP
preciate your answer The father
contends the affirmative, and the
sons the negative An answer from
you will settle this dispute and per-
haps divert funds ordinarily spent
on fights into the treasury Of the
Daily Worker" -, -
ANSWER g. @
Boxing is a sport that many peo-
pie enjoy both as participants. and
as spectators The boxing match
es in Madison Square Garden are
attended overwhelmingly by work
ers-both industrial and clerical
workers, the largest part Of whom
are not class-conscious workers.
They are by no means rotten ele-
ments." They are workers who
will have to be won over to, the
struggle against capitalism.
Sports has degenerated today in
to an organized commercial racket.
So much so that even sport writers
whose business it Is to whoop UP
prize fights, are forced to speak
about some Of the most scandalous
"fixed" fights, etc. Yet, there is an
honest interest on the part of many
workers in the sport itself. There
fore, while under capitalism, prize
fighting has attracted to itself
racketeers Of the worst sort, most
of whom are promoters, stadium
owners, boxing managers, etc., and
sometimes the prize fighters them
selves-we cannot say that only
rotten elements" attend prize
fights.
Unfortunately we do too
little to attract workers interested
in sports, to our movement. We
do too little to build up labor sports,
as well as give too little account
Of sports under capitalist control.
BY doing SO we might attract the
attention Of these un-class-con-
scious workers and win them over

attorneys a chance to prepare evi-
dence to connect M. Penn Phillips.
William Leslie and Bert Bane with

intimated yesterday evidence pre-
sented thus far has been insuffi-
Cient to link these men closely
enough with the charges of grand
theft, conspiracy and conspiracy to

Deputy Sheriff
Gets Surprise

Another birthday was about to
pass uneventfully last night as Ell
mer Waters, special deputy sheriff,
fiddled with nervous thumbs, but a
sudden harsh telephone call inter-
rupted the peace and quiet of Wat
ters' birthday, and sent him hur-
riedly to 57l Brighton avenue, gun
and badge in readiness.
The telephone call carried the
information there was an old man
there who should be locked up.
Waters was ready to perform his
duty
He was inside the house before
he realized it was the residence
Of Charles l.. Gillett, and that Mrs.
Gillett was responsible for the tel
ephone message Waters was SOL
emnly directed to lock up Old
Man Time, and then was ushered
into the presence of an angle food
cake and large freezer of ice
cream.
The rest of the evening was
spent in the process of locking up
the old man, just for one night.

BUFFALO HUNT TO
BE NEXT MONTH

Contrary to the expecta-
tions, the annual buffalo
hunt in this country will be
resumed next month. 1t will
occur February Is, when 8
persons will be permitted to
kill a bison.
Following action of the
state fish and game commits
sion Tuesday to pemit the
killing of eight members of
the herd, owned by the state
in House Rock Valley, w. c..
Joyner, state game warden,
announced rules for the
hunt.
All license dealers in the
state were asked by the
warden to report as soon as
possible the numbers and
names of all persons who
purchased hunting and fish
ing licenses between Jan. l
and February 2.
The numbers and names
will be placed in a large con-
tainer and February 10 eight
numbers and eight alternate
numbers will be drawn.
The names of the persons
holding license numbers
will go on the one-day hunt,
which will be supervised by
the commission.
Joyner said each hunter
will be allowed to keep 100
pounds of meat and the head
of the animal. The hides
will be turned over to the
state and sold, the money 60

body estimated that the
states WILL expend approx
mately $9,O0O,0O0 to assure
the free movement of the
motor transport over some
100000 miles of highways.
The A. A. A. estimate is
based on expenditures dur
ing previous years and re-
ports from state authorities
estimating the mileage of
roads on the snow removal
programs for the present
winter
Pointing out that IS per
cent of the nations popula-
ton or some 90,000,000 peo-
pie in the snow belt are de-
pendent largely upon the
open road, Thomas P. Henry,
Detroit, Mich, president of
the A. A. A., said.
"The large expenditure
for snow removal this winter
has a four-fold significance.
It Will considerably help the
unemployment situation. 1t
will assure open highways
for 100000 motor vehi-
cles registered in the snow
states, including of course,
the school busses. 1t will
mean the purchase of much
new equipment such as snow
plows, tractors, and graders.
And it will lower the cost of
highway maintenance in
these states.

This means that on a basis of
100000 motor vehicles re-

Figures on work reported as

This figure compare en-
couragingly with the total of

20 Washington Lee High
School Students Petition
for Establishment.
By staff Correspondent of The Star.

BY staff Correspondent of The Star.
BALLSTON, Va, September ID
The first move toward the establish
ment of a junior college at the Wash
ington-Lee High School was made yes
terday when Principal s. P. Wander
slice was presented with a petition
signed by 20 students asking that such
action be taken
In commenting upon the petition,
Vanderslice said that the school Off
cials favor the establishment of Junior
college If sufficient attendance can be
assured to prevent any additional cost
to the School Board. This would re-
quire 80 students the first year and at
least so students by the time it Is
necessary to start the secondyear
course 1t is hoped that sufficient sig
natures can be obtained so that the
matter may be taken up with the State
Board of Education in time to start
the Junior college course by Septem-
Der 20.
In the petition it is claimed that
the junior college would reduce the
cost Of the first two years of college
work by permitting the students to
remain at home while taking 1t.
II the course is started students will
be given English, mathematics, social
science, science, psychology, French
