FIND NO RELIEF
ON FARMS FROM
STARVATION
No Place for Michigan
Workers Thrown
Out of Mills
tBy a worker Correspondentl


GLENNIE, Mich.-Life has always
been pretty hard on the farm. Dur
ing good times" the children of the
poor farmers flocked to the large
cities in tens of thousands. Detroit,
Lansing, Pontiac, Flint, Saginaw and
other cities flourished on their fer
tile blod and sweat. They filled the
machine shops, the assembly plants,
the foundries, the furniture factories:
they ran the trucks and trains; they
shaved as teachers, cooks. mattresses.
houSemaidS. Life on the stump
farms full of mari and sand was so
hard that they preferred any sort of
slavery in the city to going back to
the weeds and the clubhouse.
Now however, they are faced with
starvation in the cities. Many re-
turn to the old farm, to their gaunt
fathers and mothers bent like pitch
fork teeth. The few who are left
work three or four half days for
one-fourth of their former wages.
If they are school teachers, their
miserable salaries are held up.
Teaching in villages and country
schools, they make on the average
$500 year. Mattresses, driven from
early morning to midnight seven days
a week, are given the princely wages
Of SIS a week. Housemaids are lucky
to get 81 a week. And then they
have to put up with the nerves of
their employers much the same as
the Serfs who used to keep the bull
frogs quiet in the pond while the
master snored in his big house. Many
girls are SO set against going back
to the miserable farms that they will
work just for meals and lodging.
The workers, driven by unemploy-
ment fron the big cities, find little
to do on the old farms that are
heavily mortgaged and run down.
Their strong hancs idle, they sit
brooding, envying the stable flies in
the heaped manure.
Talk to them, and you find as a
rule that the hooded cobras of the
big newspapers have filled them with
all sorts of poison. Mention the war
danger; they look at you unbeliev-
ingly. Beneath their good nature
and desire to do the right thing, you
will always find an explosive anger.
They'll be damned if they'll fight in
any war A fellow, who wants to
work, should be given all the work he
can wrestle with. T'o~e is something
square and fit about all these young
men and women. 1t is up to us to
mold the steel barrels through which
their anger will take the right d.
rection.

Raymond Street Prison is a build

in the building have Is little rooms,
and some have more. Each room is
the size of a chicken-coop. Each
room has tiny little sink where the
prisoner can hardly wash one hand
Yes, also little toilet which stinks
under your nose. A bed full of bugs
stands on one side of the wall. Two
sheets, one pillow and one blanket
full Of lice make the complete out
fit.
All prisoners are numbered accord
ing to the floor and the number of
the cell room. I was in Raymond
Street Prison only five days. My
cell number was $50. 2. The bed
in my cell on which I spent five
restless nights stamped out on my
body all its steel designs. I got to-
gether my revolutionary spirit and
demanded mattress for my bed.
Force Extra Blankets
All the women prisoners on my
floor supported my demand, and we
all got extra blankets to sleep on,
but no mattress. The fat police
matron yelled, "This is no hotel.
This is Raymond Street Prison. You
must sleep on the bare springs; if
not, you'll all go down to the cellar
and there we'll put you to sleep on
the floor"
The crime for which I was put
in prison was that I helped the
workers of 1905 Pitkin Ave-, Browns
vile, to protest against the eviction
of an unemployed worker, a painter
by trade, who was put out of his
room on June for not being able
to pay his rent for one month.

COELLO, Ill.-Every known method
has been used to get the Illinois
miners to accept the yellow dog
agreement, and yet the miners have
voted it down three to one. To get
the miners to vote yes, the operators
have not only used the UMWA mis-

radio over which the faker Walker
and the priest, Father Mcguire, urged
the miners to accept the yellow dog
agreement.
The revolving miners have stood
firm against the pulpit, the yellow
press and on down to the merchants.

supreme, only "a voted for the wage
cut.

ARCADIA, Fla.-Of the thousands
of citrus growers and farmers here,
most are bankrupt AS usual, the
citrus fruits are picked by the Citrus
Exchange or the Packinghouse Cor
poration. After packing and selling,
nothing is left for the middle-size
and small farmers. On the con-
trary, sometimes they are short.
The exchanges or banks give bind
ing credits for fertilizer and some
times a little for cultivation. To get
food to eat, the farmer has to work
garden or to raise some cattle or
chickens.
Continual Work.
We work from early sunrise till
late at night, in order to squeeze
through till next harvest. 1t is ii
miles from our farm to Arcadia. All
the farms here are widely distrib-
uted. To have a car means money
for gas and oil, and whoever has no
car depends upon his neighbors to
get to Arcadia at least once a week
to get the necessary things.

Terror Against Negroes.
The Negroes here are especially
watched. The welI-known lynch
agents look out carefully for all con-

all signs of "unruliness."

go on like this for long; new taxes,
