PUSH WAR DRIVE
in 50. AMERICA
Mass Resistance to
War Mongers Grows

The Bolivian government yesterday
called four more classes of reserves
to the colors, as the Paraguayan ar
my reported substantial gains in the
fierce fighting in the Gran Chaco
region.
The Colombian government issued
an ultimatm to Peru in connection
with the occupation of the Putumayo
town of Laticia. The Peruvian bour-
geois press is supporting the seizure
of the town by Peruvian civilians.
The Peruvian army is said to have
sent munitions to the forces holding
the town. The majority of the pop
ulation of the town are Peruvians.
The town was coded to Colombia a
few years ago. Colombia has been
massing troops for several days for
war with Peru. The senates of both
countries have voted huge war APP
propriations, to be raised by loans
from the imperialist powers, secured
by taxes on the toiling populations.
With the armed struggles in South
America daily threatening to involve
most of the countries in huge holo-
caust. on the basis of the imperialist
rivalries of the U. S. and Great
Britain, there Is not wanting EVIL
dence that the working classes of all
these countries are preparing to play
an independent role in the struggle
against the war-makers.

1884, actually today there are more
than three fifths who are members
of the collective farms. This meant
considerable upward revisions of the
tractors output which has been doub-
led while 5000 machine tractor sta
tons not included in the first plan
have been organized.
Certain setbacks have been suffer-
ed, as the depletion Of live stock, the
kulaks' wholesale slaughtering and
the sabotage of industry by the In
dustrial Party, sabotage which was
particularly vicious in the coal and
metal industries.
The drought Of last year and other
factors make the harvest this year
about 95 per cent of the plan The
lowering of production costs and the
increase in the productivity of labor
have not yet achieved the full re-
suits planned The workers are how
ever energetically applying the six
points Of comrade Stain, thus bring
radical changes in this fields
Machine Production Fulfilled
Beyond Plan.
The machine production industry
overfulhlled the plan. All the elee-
trotechnic, oil, locomotive, transport,
housing program of production is
overfulfilled and so are also the
clothing production and food supply.
Nevertheless the demand grows even
more rapidly than the supply. The
average wage is already % per cent
above the original plan while the
amount spent for social insurance is
more than double the amount plan
ned
The national income has reached
thu full amount planned for five
years.
These are some failures of the
Five-Year Plan which the gentlemen
critics quite overlook.

Alabama Boss Press and Police
Intensity Terror in Drive to Smash
Mass Defense OF Scottsboro Boys
Workers Push Preparations World
ScottsborO Day October

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Sept. 25.-As
the ScottSboro-Mo Day on Oct,
9th draws closer continued attacks
are being made by the police and
the press on the preparations for the
All Southern Scottsboro-Civil Rights
Conference, called for Oct. 2 at the
Masonic Temple in this city.
Fake Threat Stories.
In addition to raids on the offices
of the International Labor Defense
and the arrest of workers active in
the Scottsboro deenSe campaign, the
Birmingham press are playing up
sensational stories of fake threats
against the police. These lying stor-
les are prominently displayed in a
campaign to create the atmosphere
for further raids and police terror
against white and Negro workers who
are uniting behind the fight to free
the nine innocent Scottsboro Negro
lads.
The same press either completely
ignores or plays down the statements
issued by the I. L. D. office denying
the charge of individual terrorism
and threats against the police thugs.
Wire Protests.
The situation requires mass protest
against the police raids and terror
and the attempt to smash the con-
ference. All workers organizations
are urged to wire protests at once to
Commissioner Taylor in Birming-
ham and to Governor Miller at Mont
gomery, Alabama. All indications are
that the next day or two will bring
terrific attack on the defense move
ment.
Despite the terror. the prospects for
t he conference are excellent.
Throughout the South, workers Or
CARNATIONS, both white and Negro,
are electing delegates to the confer
enee. 1t is this demonstration Of
working -elass unity, of growing Ne
gro and white solidarity, that is
alarming the bosses, who are deS-
perately trying to counter it with the
most savage terror against the work
ers. These attacks are also aimed
to stifle the rising wave of protests
eliminating in the worldwide Scots

ALL CUTS WAGES

Payment to Union
(By a Worker Correspondent

by Worker Correspondent
CHICAGO, I'LL have belonged to
the A. F. Of L. for IL years. We used
to get ST an hour for our labor and
paid 81 every three months to belong
to the A. F. of L. Now we get wage
cut after wage cut and work two or
three days week and pay Sc every
three months to belong to the union,
Lately we had our wages cut 10
per cent and have no protection now
as a laborer.
asked the president, "Since we
had our wages cut, when will we have
a cut in our dues" and he told me,
"Neverp I told him have been
paying my dues steady and never
know how much money we have in
the treasury or what they do with
the money. He said, tits none of
your business"
If we don't pay our dues, the boss
of the company we work for Chicago
Surface Lines) tells us to pay our
dues Immediately He tells us this
because he is pretty darn sure he'll
get his share of it.
This union pays IS per week if the
worker gets hurt on the job, They
don't pay anything for the first OF
last week. If the worker does other
work than his union card states, and
gets hurt, he gets nothing. If he is
lust sick without being hurt on the
job he gets nothing If he hasn't
paid his dues regularly for six
months he gets nothing and still owes
money to the union. If he gets killed
on the job his people get $50.
Fellow workers, do not let the capt.
talists' union betray you. Join the
T. U. U. L. and fight against wage
cuts.

chow and are generally retreating
Chang has not kept his promise to
send troops to the aid of his ally,
Liu.
Fifteen American, Japanese and
other imperialist warships are lying
off Chefoo, Liu's capital, in fear that
the workers of the port might use the
civil war between the generals to rise
up and throw off their imperialist
and war-lord oppressors.

RAILROAD VET TELLS OF
FAMED TRAIN

The man "who made it rain" dur
ing the famous Cherokee Strip land
run in Oklahoma has retired after 50
years as a railroad employe.
Ill-health forced the 70-year-old
D. W. Goodman to quit as a conduc-
tor of the Rock Island railroad but
his retirement gave him opportunity
and time to tell about making rain"
Goodman was conductor on the his
toric train from Caldwell, Kan, to
Hennessey, Okla, on September 16
1898, which carried a capacity load
of boomers" who were to make the
run for land. On his return to Cald-
we'll, his train dispatcher, c. B. Jew
ell, took him back to Oklahoma "to
make it rain"
cit hadn't rained in the region for
II weeks" Goodman related. "A ter
rible drought was on. A rain car
was rugged up and Jewell named me
assistant rainmaker and took me and
the car to the Strip.
"The car was an ordinary caboose
carrying so large earthen vessels filled
with chemicals. These chemicals
were treated with an electric current
and their vapors, or something or
other, supposed to cause it to rain.
1--WE created a lot of excitment
when we switched out the car at
North Enid. Settlers poured in from
their cabins and tents to watch the
miracle performed.
1.-THE electric current was, applied
at 8 a. m: We sat all day waiting.
The settlers had about decided we
were a bunch Of fakirs. AT 4 p. M,
storm clouds arose and a heavy down
pour started. The rain lasted four
and one-half hours. Streams were
swollen and squatters were forced to
move their tents to higher ground.
1.-THE next day virtually all the
settlers from miles around rode in,
some brought their families, and a
gala celebration was held around the
rain car. I don't know whether the
rain car, had any effect on the rain
but there was no doubt among the
settlers"

Improvement that has already
been noted has opened credit condi-

There may be slight 'backwashes in
the climb to normal conditions, but
there is little likelihood of a perman-

Disbursement of large sums of fed
eral funds has much to do with the
improvement in conditions, accord
ing to MI. Price. When the govern
ment turned loose a large sum of
money to be spent throughout the
country, it brought money out of
hiding, loosened credit, and caused
renewed confidence, he said.

the policy of foreclosing farms and
using the money to buy land bank
bonds which are selling at about one
third of their face value.
The North Carolina solon charged
that the 125 million dollars voted to
the land banks by the last session of
Congress was not being used to ex-
tend the farmers mortgages as was
the purpose of the appropriation but
hat is was being used to buy in the
bond issued by the banks.
Farmers Sold Ont
Hancock said the banks were
selling out" the farmers without
any regard to their present plight.
"No on can tell where the $685.

aid h~ard-pressed farmers has gone,"
he declared.

stitute the most dastardly crime that

people today"
Hancock stated that he has con-

Committe and that he promised his
active cooperation in investigating
the land banks and joint stock land
banks when Congress meet next
December. In the meantime the North
