New York Calling for an in
mediate response to the national
campaign for strike relief support
of the East Ohio miners and Col
orado beet workers, the national
offices of the Workers Interna-
tional Relief and the Trade Union
Unity League yesterday issued
the following joint statement:
"Two important struggles, that
of the Colorado beet workers and
the East Ohio mine strikers are
significant struggles against wage
cuts and the continued offensive
of the bosses.
"The Colorado beet strike is the
biggest struggle of the agricultur-
al workers since the last Imperial

native born Spanish American
workers and whole families o.
small children toll in the fields un'
der a blazing sun IA hours day

Corbin, Mimi, June IL. = Be-
cause of the ever worsening condi-
tons of the workers and farmers
the UFL called a meeting at the
workers hall here a week ago,
where committee of action was
elected TO go and see what our
newly appointed county commits
sioner wants to do to relieve the
distress and want of the starving
workers and destitute, ''have been"
farmers.
The resolution of demands adj
opted at the meeting were: To be-
gin work real soon on four road
projects proposed by the commit
tee and repair of old roads.
The answer Commissioner Nc
Kenzie gave the committee was
There is no money. Can't build
an inch of new road. Can't repair
the old roads"
Yes, the answer is always the
same when the poor go to ask for
work to buy bread. 1t was the
same answer our committee got
last winter from the county board
when the money was yet unused.
Nevertheless the grader man
works grading the "once wereT
roads every day.
The poor farmers are not going
to swallow the lies of our capital
istic politicians any more. They
will give their answer by attend
ing the Hunger March sn the 21st
About so people with about a doz-
en- cars are preparing to go from
Corbin.
They are going to find out what
became of the public funds and de
mand relief for the starving citi-
zens of this powerful and fires

Glenburn, N. D., June 12.- At
a recent Farmers Union picnic,
former Governor Braddock was
the main speaker. He spewed
forth much hot air and no good
horse sense. He addressed the
farmers as friends" but l thot
to myself, just how much are you
trying to assist these poor farm
ers in their fight against the
bankers, the landlord and the cap
italist system as a whole?
His first statement, referring to
the conditions here in the north
west, inMontana and North Dako-
ia, was that he really thought
the farmers were becoming wiser
every day and that they were or
ganizing very rapidly. He said
that in Montana the farmers were
worse off than in North Dakota
but that they would all get along
fine and dandy just as soon as
they organize into the Farmers
Union. Imagine the demagogy in
that statement, farmers.

VOTE. COMMUNIST
United Farmers League to
Rally Farmers to Support
Only Workers Party
VOTE COMMUNIST
By JOHN INDMAN

Never has it been so in the his
tory of mankind that millions of
farmers and workers are starving,
miserably living without clothing
and shelter when large warehous-
es are filled with food and goods
to wear and millions of homes
empty because the workers have
been evicted from them. Most of
the poor and middle farmers are
crushed to earth by enormous bur-
dens the bankers and the govern
ment has placed upon them in the
struggle to get out of this crisis.
Heavy taxes and loan interest has
squeezed the farmers to a ragged
living skeleton. The farmers no
longer own their land or homes
for the bankers and state have
seized them for his inability to
pay the mortgages and taxes.
FARMER-LABOR is CAPITAL
IST PARTY
And in America in 1882 the cap
itaist parties, Republican and
Democrat and the capitalist third
party, the Socialist, are out after
the poverty ridden farmer for
his support and vote. Also the
Farmer-LabOr party of Minnesota
with its double faced policy, dem
agogically before the country peo-
pie with solutions to all the farm
ers' problems; but their solutions
are not for the poor or middle
farmers but only the bankers and
the rich farmers.
The farmers hunger march in
st. Louis county, Minnesota, under
leadership of the United Farmers
League, will take place just in
the heat of a political sham battle
of the bosses. The UFL which is
NOT a political party, nor a po-
htical organization, is a farmers
economic organization fighting fol
the farmers immediate every day
needs as the demands of the farm
ers of st. Louis county are. The
demands are very simple but
sharp to the point. The members
and those farmers closely connect
ed with the UFL in many locali-
ties are looking to their own polit-
iical party, the Communist party
for their political guidance in the
coming fall election.

RAISE NINE DEMANDS
Insist on the Commission
ers Answering Demands
Without Any Evasion
RAISE NINE DEMANDS

Under the leadership of
the United Farmers League
thousands of farmers of St.
Louis county will demon
strate in Duluth on June Fl
demanding relief for the
toiling farm masses of the
county from the county
commissioners.
The line of march of tine
farmers of the county to Du-
luth is as follows: Orr, Ia
M; Cook, 8 a. M; Virginia
Cooperative Creamery, 9 a.
M; Cotton, 1880 a. M; High

march win reach the Court
House at one o'clock D. m.
The demands Of the farmers Of
the county are contained in a let
ter sent to the county commission
ers by the United Farmers LeaRue
which reads as follows:
st. Louis County
UNITED FARMERS LEAGUE
Virginia, Minnesota
To the st. Louis County Board
of Commissioners:
Sirs: ~ f
More than eight months ago a
delegation representing several
thousand poverty-ridden farmers
of st. Louis county presented a
program of demands to the board
OF st. Louis county commissioners
for adoption and execution, to re-
lieve the serious starvation condi-
ton of the small farmers and the
unemployed workers of the cities.
The board of commissioners has
deliberately resorted to evasion to
avoid straightforward action on
these demands.
The resolution presented to the
board of commissioners, Septem-
Der Fl, 1881, pointed out that:
Thousands of small farmers
In St. Louis county are crushed
under the burden of high taxea
debts, rents and mortgages, fac
ed with the daily threat Of fore
closures, evictiOns, sheriff sales
and suffering dire need anE
/ even hunger because the full
burden of the farm crisis ie
thrust upon their shoulder.
MARCH ORGANIZED JUNE S
After eight months since the
foregoing was said, the economic
crisis has increased many fold
thus adding misery and suffering
upon already unbearable starva-
ton conditions. 1t was with this
situation in mind that the United
Farmers League at the st. Louis
County Convention held at Virgin
Ia Minnesota June 5, 1882, unani-
mously resolved to bring such
pressure to bear by mobilizing and
organizing thousands of farmers
back to the program of these
reasonable demands for the ale
Walton of the miserable conditions
OF the small farmers, so that the
matter will have to be taken up
and acted upon favorably without
opportunity of evasion of respon-
sibility. 1t is for that reason that
copies of this letter are sent to all
members of the board of commits
sioners that they may have ample
time to study the demands here
with presented and be prepared tn
state frankly their position on the
same to the delegation of workers
and farmers who will appear be-
fore the board of commissioners
meeting on Tuesday, June q, 1882
at three o'clock p. m.
DEMANDS SUBMITTED
After a thorough and detailed
discussion the United Farmers
League at the st. Louis county
convention adopted the following

Tax Burden Unbearable

Most of the farmers of the nor
thern counties of Minnesota at the
behest of the bankers had mort
gagged their farms for loans to inn
prove their farms in the form of
buildings, extending the clearings,
buying more machinery, dairy
cows and equipment for extensive
dairy farming, etc. The vast ma
jority of the farmers of st. Louis
and other northern. Minnesota
counties had mortgages on their
farms when the capitalist crash
took place in November 1929. The
tax burden had been unbearable
even before the crisis but because
the farmers had some income and
could scrape together with tre-
mendous sacrifices enough cash to
meet the tax payments there was
not so much to kick about it.
Capitalism Means Hopeless
For the past two and one-half
years with the deepening of the
economic crisis of capitalism, the
conditions of the farmers have
gone from bad to worse. There
is no more outside work 10 be had
as formerly. The price of farm
produce, particularly butterfat, has
reached new low levels every
week. No market for the little tim
Der that is still left. And while
this has happened the mortgage
burden has become oppressive and
threatening and the taxes impos-
ed upon these farmers has climb
ed continuously. The threat of
mortgage foreclosures, sheriffss
sales and evictions stares these
farmers and their families in the
face. There is no way out of the
situation through capitalist means.
Utter ruin and destruction is in
evitable.

all these sources were available so
that no one even thought of the
specter of poverty, or of ever be-
ing driven out of their homes be-
cause of adverse conditions.
But the system of capitalist rob-
berry and exploitation decreed 9TH
erwise. Even though the agricul-
tural crisis has profoundly effect
ed the farm industry for years be-
fore the present acute capitalist
crash set in, the farmers of north
ern Minnesota did not feel it as
intensely as farmers elsewhere.
Dairy farming has been fairly
advantageous until about two
years ago. Prices have been fair
ly high for butterfat and since the
country is well suited for dairy
farming so things went well for a
while even after the crisis had set

DR.. Oman Points Out Need
of World Leadership.

Demand that the preacher speak
out now and furnish leadership and
guidance during the world crisis
was contained in the two-part ad-
dress of DR.. G. Bromley Oman,
president of De Paw university, at
the state pastors conference here.
The first part was delivered Tues
day night and the second during
the Wednesday forenoon.
Entitled THE Gospel and the
Present Crisis,ns DR.. Oman outlined
three phases of the crisis, as follows:
That it is world wide in scope, and
any religion to cure it must be big
enough to leap out of provincial
ism; that it reaches man in all his
relationships, political, social and
economic, and a fusing of psychol-
ogy and science will be necessary
for its solution, and that the pres
ent conditions come as result Of
a conflict of transition, from nation
alism to internationalism, from
competition to cooperation and
from old standards of authority to
new delvings toward reality.

Myers Asks House Opinion
Following Action of
State Senators.

One hundred letters were being
sent to the members of the Indiana
house of representatives today by
Speaker Walter Myers to determine
the attitude of the members toward

ing an extraordinary session, and
asking that the representatives ap-
point a conference committee.
ASKS for Opinions
The letters ask that the repre-
sentatives state their views on this
subject, and also seeks their opinion
on the subject of issuing call for
a meeting of all of the representa-
tives here.
In event that they do not feel
such a large conference is necessary.
Myers asks their views on assem-
bling the Republican and Demo-
cratic leaders, ways and means and
finance committee heads, and rank
ing members to discuss the program.
Hopes for Quick Replies
The senate resolution asked that
the house committee and senate
committees confer with the indus
trial business and labor leaders Sc
lected by William H. Settle, farm
bureau head, and John r. bingham,
Indianapolis meat packer, to draft
special session tax program.
Myers declared that he hoped to
have answers within week.

HARDING STORY
Kathleen LaWIer Author of
New Biography.

By rtpps-HoI0drd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-Publi-
cation of former Attorney General
Harry M. Daugherty's Inside Story

followed shortly by the publication
of ''The Hardings I Knew" by Kath-

Miss Lawler, close friend of the
deceased President and Mrs. Hard
ing, wrote her memoirs, she says,
at the request of Mrs. Harding.
During the campaign of 1920, Miss
Lawler was Mrs. Harding's almost
constant companion, and at her re-
quest she kept a voluminous diary,
recording data supplied her at the
time by the presidential nominee
and his wife.
Before her death, Mrs. Harding
read the opening chapters of the
book and approved them.
Miss LAWYERS is a personality mar
rative, replete with incidents of
Hardings career, the Chicago con-
vention which nominated him after
delegates had deadlocked over
Leonard Wood and Frank o. Low
den, the election campaign and the
cabinet-making incidents which oc-
Cured after the election.
She will tell the story of Her
bert Hoover's associations with can
didate Harding, the influences
which suggested Hoover for the
cabinet and the pressure exerted
against him.
