Slaves to the
Bosses Soil

TIL beet workers are paid weekly
wage. They get pay after the
season is over and the work is done.
During the current season of work
the grower gives them food on
credit" When the season is over"
all the debts are deducted, and the
remainder, if there is any, is turned
over to the workers.
This is when "alrs we'll" But
when the Great Western Sugar Co.
decides to cut the prices for the
farmers, then the farmer cuts the
earnings of the beet workers, and
there are no remains after the
debts of the grocer are paid. Often
the beet worker continues owing
money to the grocer after the sea-
son is over. From one season into
the other. Thus the beet worker
is virtual slave to the soil that
belongs to the growers and the
Great western, and is forced TO
starve, always in debt, in return
for sunrise to sunset slavery of the
entire family.
The beet workers kid hardly
knows what schooling is. From the
earliest age he is taken out into
the fields to slave his years away.
The young kids, born and raised. in
this country, hardly undetStantl And
speak English. Spanish, the Ian
guage spoken by their parents, is
the only language they speak. Very
few of these kids know hllT to read
and write.
Between 1880 and now lie two
years of economic crisis. The $23
per acre that the workers got at
that time were reduced by the
growers to SIS, So and as low as IS
per acre. And if in former years
some best workers may have been
lucky to get jobs in the winter
months in some other industry, now
it is out of the question. The steel
mill in Pueblo, Colo, is shut down.
The packing houses in Denver con-
stantly lay off workers.
The meager earnings OF $3.50 a
year per family (the best paid fam
ily) of 1880 has been reduced to
$3.50 or 5000.
The beet workers feel that work
or no work under these conditions
means starving to them. They
must win this struggle if they are
to continue living at all.

RefOrmists Stem
Workers Progress

The beet workers of Colorado,
Utah, Wyoming, ETC., we're organ
lied in the Beet Workers Associa-
ton. This was a reformist organ
ization. 1t was led by reformists
with nationalistic tinge, one of
whom, Mr.. Carpio, a sleek "intel-
lectual" politician, said: "Organiza-
ton? yes. But first of all we are
Mexicans. Then we want to or
ganize in the bounds of the law.
We are friends of the American
people (meaning the growers and
the Great Western Sugar Coz
And they were true to their dec
laration. They were indeed friends
of" the growers, hobnobbing with
them and selling out the workers
from season to season.
When in February, 1880, the ma
tional convention of the Beet Work
ers' Association took place the T.
U. U. L. was officially invited to
send fraternal delegates. The T.
U. U. L. representatives made re-
port and askd the convention to
affiliate with the revolutionary
trade union center. The leaders
did all in their power to prevent
this action. They brought down a
priest to make an attack upon the
reds" They brought down the
traitors of the A. F. of L., who made
open contracts with the coal opera
tors in Colorado against employing
Mexican workers.
But soon after the convention,
when the workers delegates re-
turned to their respective locals
with the statements issued by the
T. U. U. L. at the close of the
convention, the beet workers
learned of the program and de-
mands of the T. U. U. L. and were
in agreement with them. They re-
pudiated the Beet Workers ASso-

A NEW wave of bankruptcies has
"A begun, which is the forerunner
of another and deeper financial
crisis than that of 1881. Within
two weeks, % banks closed their
doors in Chicago, and some of the
biggest banks we're only saved from
collapse by throwing the small ones
to the dogs, and by huge mobili-
zation of funds the Reconstruct
ton Finance Corporation, whose
president, General Dawes, resigned
to take over directly the leadership
of the big Chicago banks. A brief
survey of the main items in the
credit structure will serve to indi-
cate the severity of the financial
crisis now impending.
Total liabilities of credit instiu-
lions to the public" which sdes-
ignated as accumulated savings"
of the nation, amount to 50,850 mil
lions of dollars. This includes
$4,000 millions in savings deposits
in banks; $4,000 millions in equities
of insurance policy holders, and
5000 millions in equities of share
holders in building and loan asso-
Citations.
These huge sums are invested
in the main in four types of secur-
tiles: government bonds, stocks Qn-
dustrial, railroad, etc., private
bonds; and real estate bonds and
mortgages. BY far the largest part
is represented by the last three
mentioned. During the three years
of crisis, the liabilities of these
credit institutions have grown, but
the market of their assets to
offset these liabilities has been
dropping catastrophically.

I HAVE now been in the Soviet
Union for seven months, and
during that time, I have had the
opportunity not only to witness but
also to participate in the building
up of socialism in the Workers
Father1and.
For Is years, the revolutionary
workers of the U.S.S.R. under the
correct guidance of the Communist
Party have successfully defeated
attempts of the capitalist world to
destroy the only country which is
building socialism.
In 1917 the workers here over
threw completely the capitalist gov
eminent; they defended themselves
successfully against the following
years of intervention; they restored
their industry, and now at the
completion of the Five-Year Plan
in years (1932), they have Iaid
the foundation for a socialist So
ciety.
Plan Classics Society.
Now, on the Threshold of the
second Five-Year Plan, the work.
ers have undertaken: the final IL
quotation of capitalist elements and
of classes generally; fully to de-
stroy the causes which given rise
to class distinction and exploita-
ton; to overcome the survivals of
capitalism in the enemonomy and
consciousness of people; to trans
form the whole working population
of the country into conscious, ac-
tive builders of a classics society;
also to complete the reconstruction
of the whole of national economy,
to lay down a new technical base
for all branches of national eco
nomy.
All this means that the workers
of the U.S.S.R. are going to elimi-
nate classes, no bosses, no slaves,
no exploiters, no exploited; that
the workers will become reborn
new man will come into exist
ence; industry will be developed
with never before witnessed tenn
POI; the increase of three times of
all main articles of consumption
as compared to 1882. This and
many other achievements will be-
come a reality at the end Of the
next Five-Year Plan.
Soviet Russia Today.
Today, over 81 percent of the
peasantry are organized in collect
i've farms (Kolkhoz) and another
20 percent in the state farms (sov-
khoz). Not later than 1885,, farm
ing will be organized 100 percent
in collective or state farms.
The industrial workers are me-
chanizing the farm through the
organization of over TOO machine
and tractor stations (M.T.S.) which
serve the neighboring farms with

of their condition by the simple

rdllleu DenlnQ IL.
In 1890 the beet workers received
$23 an acre for digging the beetG
out of the soil. They worked from
sunrise to sunset. Whole families
worked-kids of 7, and 8; mother
and father. A family of five, when
all worked full force, was able to
make, 20 acres season. This meant
$3.50 a season. On this sum of
money the family had to live the
whole year around. Families of 8,
9 and 10 people lived in little huts,
made virtually of cardboard, in
holes of by 9. This made for
much sickness and disease among
the workers.

Men Adopt Resolution for
Use at Public Hearing.

Fairfax County business men las.
night went on record as being unal-
terably opposed to any commercializa-
ton of the Mount Vernon Memorial
Boulevard by allowing regularly sched-
uled bus lines to operate along the
highway.
The directors of the Fairfax County
Chamber of Commerce adopted a reso-
luton offered by Herbert Williams OF
Fairfax, opposing the proposal that bus
lines be allowed to operate along the
Memorial Highway.
The resolution will be forwarded to
the Office of Lieut.. Col. u. S. Grant Sd,
before whom a public hearing on the
proposal that the Memorial Highway
be opened to bus traffic will be held
Thursday at 10 am in the Office OF
Public Buildings and Public Parks
The Fairfax County Chamber held
that the present bus service along Route
l, the RichmondW Washington highway,
is adequate for the Fairfax residents,
who live near that section of the Me-
morial Highway, which traverses Fair
lax County, and declared, in their reso-
luton that the Memorial Highway,
built with National funds for memorial
purposes, and as a gateway to Wash
ington's Tomb at Mount Vernon, should
be held sacred to the purposes for which
it was intended

From the $50 Edition Of Yesterdays star)
The House District Committee today
completed its program of legislation for
the present session Of Congress with the
passage by the House Of the so-called
automobile liability bill sponsored by

publican, of Michigan.

tion to enter the field Of general insur-
ance, this measure was tabled.

gram.
