Beverly Hills-Well all know is
just what read in the papers and
what I see as I prowl from hither
to thither. The old stock market
is trying awful hard to land back
on the front pages like it used to
be years ago. As they say in Chi
ma, it Lost Face" You know, come
to think of it, there is an express
sion that I don't see how we get
along without. Everything in the
Far East about Somebody Los
ing Face" It really don't mean that
a man has lost out, or failed to
make good, but 1t means a hundred
things. Anything in the world
that happens to you in the Far
East, Mumps, Measels, hat blew off
in Public, insulted by someone,
shoes run down, throw three
Craps" in row-anything in the
world that is the least bit 'Dis-
concerting" or embarrassing why
that is what you call Lost Face"
Well the old Stock Market lost
so much face that it's practically
been headless for three years. But
they are just stirring aroung among
each other now, and the market is
like a Mexican jumping bean. It
Jumps but for no reason at all, and
nobody knows why it's jumping.
Course its jumping to get Republi-
can votes in November and its got
lot of jumping to do yet.
OF course New York thinks that
that is just what the whole world
revolves on, they think that if the
market was good today that every
man, woman and child in the coun-
try should celebrate and have a
big meal on the strength of the rise.
When as a matter of fact Amos
and Andy have more influence on
the whole American public than
the market.
Now lets see what else has been
agitating the natives. Jack Garner
went back East a couple Of weeks
ago to meet his teammate and lay
to schemes and deadfalls to trip
the Republican, and fix it so the
Democratic could walk over it. Gar

East than Washington before and
he got so he got around New York
about as good as all the foreigners
that live there.
Canada has a big Congress OF

Mr.. Roosevelt was the guest of a

Referring to the acceptance
speeches of President Hoover and

the 1880 gubernatorial election in
New York state. He was re-elect-

In that year, he declared, "there

Upland Game Bird Survey Being
Made

A thorough suvey of the upland
game bird situation in the state is
now being made by the Division of
Game and Fish, Department of
Conservation. Reports have been
received from all state game war
dens concerning individual warden
districts, covering each county.
Wardens contracted sportsmen's
organizations, farmers and others
in wild life. Leading conservation
lists in various sections of the state
also were asked to send in results
of personal observations.
The careful check now under
way will determine counties to be
opened for legal shooting, length of

advisable to allow the taking of

should be completed shortly after

FARM WORKERS
Wages Lower Than in
1902; Unemployment
Great

Wages paid to Alabama farm
workers arc today lower than they
were in 1902, according to the Ala
bama Economic Review. Wages in
April of this year were only $3.50 a
month. Before the war they were
S13.56. Besides these wages, the
workers receive some miserable
board, which amounts to very little
in cents.
Unemployment among farm work.
ers Is so great that, the publication
says, farm labor appears TO be
very plentiful in al parts of the
United States, supply being prac-
ticaliy twice the demand. In New
Jersey and Rhode Island the supply
of farm labor was reported in April
TO be only slightly more than so
per cent greater than demand. On
the other hand, in the West, where
farm labor usually is scarce, supply
is reported to be over twice the
demand" In South Carolina wages
are even lower, S8.75 per month.
One of the chief causes of this
unemployment may be traced to
the unemployment in cities, with
workers going to the fields hoping
to find jobs.

starvation wages are paid, was the

Not only is this struggle against
the attacks of the notorious shoe
bosses, who have used the most vi
cious methods Of spying company
unions, iniunctions and terrorism to
force down the standards of the
workers. but it is a struggle to es-
tablish and build a union of shoe
workers, which will fight militantly

CHILD MISERY
SYMPOSIUM
To Be Held Wednesday
8 pm. At New School

NEW. YORK.-The symposium on
Child Misery and Starvation in the
United Stataes and Child Care in
the Soviet Union at the New School
for Social Research, 66 East 18th ST.,
7.3O p. m, May 18th, will introduce
Mrs. Alice Withrow Fields to New
York working class audiences for the
first time.
Mrs. Fields won wide recognition
for her book, THE Protection OF
Women and Children in the Soviet
Union which deals exhaustively with
the elaborate program of social bet
terment among women and children
under the Soviets.
Much of the valuable material as
senbled by Mrs. Fields during her
two year stay in the Soviet Union
has been cut from the book by cap
italiSt censorship. Especially is this
true of the yaluabledata on birth
control, feminine hygiene and abor-
ton, in which the SoYlets are
pioneering.
Working-class parents, particularly,
will find Mrs. Fields report at the
symposium highly interesting and
valuable, the Workers International
Relief announces.
Other speakers at the symposium
will be Hal Ware, Joseph Freeman,
Mac Weiss and Jim Garland. This
is the first time that the condition
of Negro and white working class
children in this country have been
authoritatiyely contrasted with the
what is being done for Soviet chill
dren.
The Bakers Local % fthe Amer
lean Federation of Labor has con-
tributed one dollar to the children's
campaign conducted by the Workers

PLACE FOSTER,
FORD ON BALLOT
IN new JERSEY
2,400 SIGNATURES Col
lected; 800 Needed

PERTH ANdBOY, N. j., May IL
Although only 800 signatures were
needed to place the Communist can
didates for President and Vice Pres
ident, VIM. z. Foster and James w.
Ford, on the ballot in New Jersey,
the workers collected and filed 2.4OO
signatures 1.-TWO Thousand Four
Hundred.
Last year to place a candidate on
the ballot for Governor, also 800
signatures we're needed aud 100
signatures were collected. The above
petitions for Foster and Ford had
names of 16 electors.
Plans are going ahead for an in
tensiye Election Campaign in New
Jersey this year, many local can
didates being entered. Unemploy-
ment is widespread and even, accord
ing to Chester I. Barnard, State Di-
rector of Emergency Relief, who is
also head of the Bell Telephone
Company in N. j., unemployment is
increasing.
In yesterday newspapers Bernard
stated that, 'the number of persons
in need in the state has increased
from 100000 to 100000 during the
past two weeks" That there are
10000 persons receiving aid in Els
sex County, 1873, 900 in Hudson Coum-
ty, $4,000 in Bergen, 10000 in Union,
Al 500 in Passaic, $4,000 in Camden
and $1,000 in Atlantic County, The
correct figures are much closer to
one million unemployed workers in
need in New Jersey.
In order to raise funds for Gun
employment Relief" the State Gov
eminent in N. J. is planning to put
through a bill to raise the tax on
gas, put q tax on tobacco, electricity,
tapping of moneys of the State
teachers pension and annuity fund,
and sale of the Camden Philadelp
bridge bonds. The bosses govern
ment wants to place the bost of I'M
employment relief on the shoulders
of the workers, not the bosses and
bankers who are responsible for I'M
employment. The profits of the bos-
ses are not even touched for funds
for unemployment relief. The Com
munist Party in the elections in New
Jersey will conduct a strong fight for
Unemployment and Social Insurance
at the expense OF the State and En-
ployers County Conferences are be-
ing held to plan this fight and to
elect delegates to the National No
minating Convention in Chicago.

the large plants, how to organize the
united front of all the workers, with
the result that the strike is drawing
hundreds of workers into the ranks
of the union. The Shoe and Leather
Workers Union must emerge from
the strike as a mass union and a
powerful force to withstand the
bosses attacks.
The shoe workers must have the
fullest support, both morally and
finacially in this strike. They must
be able to meet the bosses attempts
to defeat their strike. This means
support on the picket line. 1t means
especially, that financial assistance
must be forth coming when neces-
sary.
The TUUL therefore calls upon the
whole working-class to rally to the
support of the Shoe and Leather
Workers Union and by real solidarity
help the shoe workers to build a
mighty mass organization and to de-
feat the bosses efforts to lower their
living standards.
