Charity Appeal in
Hammond Proves to
Be Obvious Fake
by a Worker COrrespOndcntJ

Thy a Worker Correspondent
HAMMOND, Ind. The relief
agencies in Hammond are working
like these taking institutions work in
other parts of the country. This is
shown when the local press made an
appeal for an unfortunate family Of
four children and their mother
deserted by the father and who were
evicted from their home.
The local press makes an appeal
for a house for the family, but care
fully neglects to mention the welfare
agencies and relief organizations
which are supposed to handle such
cases.
This mother should join the Unem-
ployed Council of Hammond at 713
Gastlin Street and all others like her,
where militant class conscious workers
know how to handle such cases.

Dear Sir.
would like to describe the con-
ditions Of an unemployed worker in
the capital of the United States,
Our Country"
I arrived in Washington late in the
afternoon Of May End and went TO
the Salvation Army to secure lodg-
ing for the night and after waiting
in line for a couple Of hours was
given a ticket for lousy cot to sleep
on. I wanted to wash clothes but
they didn't allow that SO / went to
bed dirty and without anything to
eat. They don't even let you go out
side after you have registered and
you are only allowed TO stay there
one night. The next morning / was
given cup of weak, black unsweet-
ened coffee and three slices of stale
bread and sent out on the streets.
There was quite a bit of govern
ment construction under way and /
approached several superintendent
and labor foremen ON the various
jobs but they would only walk away
without listening to me- There are
a number of employment agencies in
the city but they charge 50 in adj
vance for a job and it is not sure
that the wages will be that much
Another so-CalIed charitable ORGAN
ization is named the Volunteers of
America but they will not furnish
any relief without you giving them a
ticket. 1 asked how these tickets

Dear Comrade Editor:
: The following reports are from the
!, various units Of the G. P. on the va
rious locals and mines.
Stanton Colliery, MayfIower, Pa
The coal company and the So
called union officials are now openly
collaborating. At one Of the past
meetings they selected one company
salary man and two union men on a
miners grievance committee and
where this committee is supposed to
settle miners grievances. The trus-
tee from this same local union got a
Job in a different mine in the Ash
ley mines where the bosses are lay
ing men off every two weeks.
When miner by the name of Bar
lay complained that it was not right
for man to be officer in local
union and work in another mine he
was threatened to be expelled from
the so-called U.MW.A.
The miners in the five foot vein
got as low as $2.35 for eight yards
of coal and they should of got ten
hines that much. When the miners
went to the boss he told them that
hey would have to take it or leave
1t. One miner worked for 20 years in
the Stanton mine and was burned by
gas and when he came back he got
a job as Waterman in the same mine,
but when the Hollenback closed down
they laid him off and replaced him
with some fire boss from the Hollen-
back and all the bosses are getting
jobs in that mine and laying off the
older men, and the union does not
do anything but it compels its mem
bership to pay the checkoff.

are still raking in the dough. We

none Of the tenants has got a reduc-
ton in rent yet. But they got to cut
our wages ten per cent. They know
they're taking advantage of us. They
know they can get others to take
our places for the lousy money. Every
time a bellboy leaves they hire an
other for five dollars less. They been
doing that right along. But now they

in Small Northwest
Town: Relief Cut Off
(By a Worker Corregpondent.)

(By Worker Correspondent
Williston, N. Oak.
Daily Worker:
Since May Day this year there are
many new workers who joined with
us who were not with before. We are
going to organize an unemployed
council here. There are about 100
families who were given a small
amount of relief by the Red Cross.
Now these workers are all off the
relief lists.
Our speakers are applauded by the
workers and the amount of literature
we sell shows that we are making

How many of us get union hours or
wages? In most Of the stores We
hive to work - hours instead OF 10
and get paid nearer $500 than the
s35 to S45 we should get.
They were telling us before the
election that they were going TO fight
for more pay and better conditions
this coming year And in this meet
ing they told us that they are going
TO bring the girls into the union who
will get $500 a week What that
means ought to be clear to all Of US.
III year there won't be any Of US
left on the jobs. The bosses will put
in girls who they will pay less wages
than they now have TO pay the men.
Workers Want Union Scale.
l am not against girls. but these
takers if they were really for us could
take girls into the union at the reg
ular union rate. The reason they do
not do this is that by aking in girls
they get their $1,000 initial payment
and then get we'll paid from the boss
every time they send him a girl to
replace a man.
Forced to Buy Car.
They forced us to buy car for a
Christmas present for the takers SO
they could enjoy themselves. They
tax us $500 for banquet. What
are they going TO do with all this
money-the least they will collect will
be $500. And this from the mem
bers only, don't count the money
they get from the tickets sold to the
bosses. 1 understand that many of
the bosses bought as many as ten
tickets.
We can see for ourselves that
everything is crooked. We must fight
against these Sellouts. We must fight
in the meetings. Pincus and Epstein
know that they wont be elected again
so they are trying to get all they can
before they get out. We must watch
out and go to our meetings and vote
them down every time.

placing the Soviets!"
What has Trotsky in mind? What
distinction does Trotsky want to
create between the Soviets and the
Soviet regime?
Workers! how friendly can this
egotistical maniac be to the workers
of the Soviet Union when our bitter
est enemy gives him his organs Of
propaganda? Does he not serve the
purpose of helping to nislead the
masses of those countries where the
ruling classes see the death of their
system in the success of the Soviet
Union? Isn't this haIf-maniac help
ing to befog the masses that will be
used in attacking the only country
where the workers are the rulers?
Trotsky's Role.
Is he not trying to take the minds
of the workers away from the i'm
pending war danger on the Soviet
Union, so that they can be led easier
to the slaughter on their own van
guard, when he says: "It is needless
to say that at the moment of danger
to the Soviets the Trotskyists would
be found in the first line OF de-
Tense. $500" implying Of course that
there is no suchc danger.
When even q bourgeois enonomist,

of which were printed in the N. Y.

tack on Soviet Russia taken into con-
sideration. Here Trotsky steps in to
say if there was any danger.
Is there any question of Trotskys

with the editorial policy of the Times
when he minirnizes the danger to the
proletariat of the world in the i'm
pending carnage for q rediWsion OF
the world, beginning with an attack
on the Soviet Union, over 80 para
graphs he has not one word on the
gravity of the situation; but first an
attempt to establish his sincerity to

allegations on the Soviet leadership
with his heart going out" to the
Soviets?
What difference is there between
TrotSky and the socialists in their
effect on confusing and misleading
the masses? Would the Times give
its columns to any force ininical to
the interests of the bankers for
which it stands? Isn't the present
Trotsky an enemy of the Soviet IN
ion? Isn't this man a perSonifica-
ton of the advance guard of the
