Hardly any one of our coopera- I
bors will have the boldness to say |
that at the present moment, so
for our agriculture, CO.
operation in its present form has
proved itself capable Of real help
to the collective farm members.
Nobody can say this. And if at
the same time the situation is such
that in a number of districts IT.
the grain-consuming zone where
the collective farms, as is well
known, constitute only a small
percentage, there remains only the
collective farm cooperatives with
total absence Of any other CO.
operative organization serving the
needs of the individual peasants,
this in itself testifies sufficiently
to the great need for creating a
special organization to serve the
collective farm members and an
other organization to serve the in
dividual farmers, by way of guild
ing their production activities.
This is the only way to overcome
the multiplicity ana overlapping
we have at present. If there are

health more important than the
cows? Why do we have a doctor
for the cows babies while the hu-
man babies may suffer or die
without a doctor? The answer is
simple, the banker has a mortgage
on the cows, his investment must
be protected, but who cares for
the farmers kids anyway? Let
them suffer, let them die, the
brats!l!
Come on you sons and daught-

farms? The Central Committee /
considers that this is not neces-
sary. We know that in some
places there were such attempts.
They took the form of instructions
with hundreds of diagrams, with
the aid of which our comrades
wanted to foresee from the re-
gional headquarters how the har-
vest should be divided among the
members of each separate collec-
tive. But that was only bureau
cratic dream and nothing came of
it. We must limit ourselves to
that which is important political
ly, and this is fully indicated in
the decisions of the Central Com
mittee.
Some comrades say: "But we
wish to consider the size of the
family in the distribution of the
harvest" Do you really need in
structions for that? Could any
one possibly have any objections
lif the collective farm members in
any place should decide to set
aside a certain portion of the pro-
ceeds of production to help the
members with large families? Fol-
this is it necessary to write in
structions with hundreds of dia.

COYOTES ARE NOW
COMING OUT AGAIN

Belden, North Dakota, Feb. Is.
The name of our squad is "Coy-
ote." We have not had any meet
mgs for some weeks because the
weather has been SO cold, but we
will try and have meetings every
week from now on.
There are six members in our
squad and we hope to get some
more soon. Our captain is Mar
win Husa. We will start reading
from the Pioneer magazine and
other papers at our meetings and
we have also been planning to
start soap carving which I think
will be lots of fun. We challenge
some other squad to write to this
corner.

CLEVE. CROWD
STANDS GROUND
Fight Cops Who Have
Just Murdered Negro

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Nov.
22.-Militancy of hundreds of
jObless workers demonstrating
at the city hall yesterday, mil
itancy which went to the ex-
tent of Selling mounted police
charging the crowd and pull
ling them from their saddles,
broke up the charge and saved the
demonstration from dispersal.
Demanding Housing for Marchers.
In a bitter cold day, the thinly-
clad unemployed workers massed
here to demand that the city ad-
ministration provide housing, food,
clothing, garage and gasoline for
trucks for the National Hunger
Marchers OF Column who arrive
here Nov. 90.
The demonstrators had also elected
a committee of II to present to
Mayor Roy T. Miller Democratic
Party demands for 81 weekly re-
lief, So extra for dependents, and the
end of the police terror which has
just resulted in the murder of d Me-
gro worker, Edward Fullenley.
Score Murder of Negro Worker.
Fullenley was trying to collect
wages owed him by a storekeeper
who refused to pay them. The store
keeper set up a yell Of robbery" and
a policeman on duty came up and
shot Fullenley down in cold blood.
The demonstration yesterday carried
signs calling Cleveland workers to the
mass funeral Of Fullenley Wednes-
day at 3 p. m. at 36th and ScoviIl.
Police Hold Spokesman.
When the first committee Of II
went in, the mayor not only refused
to see them, but had police take
them in charge and hold them. The
evident scheme was to wear out ana
freeze out the crowd outside waiting
for the report of the committee.
But the jobleSs outside elected an
other committee, which found out
what had happened to the first, and
reported to the indignant hundreds
gathered before the city hall steps.
While they were reporting, the
mounted police charged the crowd,
and the struggle followed. The crowd
stood its ground, and after hearing
the report, and electing committee
of SO to present the same demands
to the city council meeting last night,
dispersed. A dozen men were tramp
led and several women ridden down
by the police charge. Two we're ar
rested.
Won't Be Discouraged
The demonstrators elected ten dele
gates to go on the National Hunger
March.
Cleveland workers have proved
that attempts to discourage them"
as ordered by District of Columbia

carried out.

No sooner had this occurred than
the manipulators for the imperialist
powers began scheming behind the
