Second, the poor farmers, whose
income has been reduced about the
same as that of the workers, and
are losing their farms to the bankers
and other mortgage holders, thus be-
ing turned into tenants or wage
workers.
Third, the veterans Of the world
war, who. are not only denied pay
ment of the bonus ca debt acknewl-
edged by the government by formal
certificatesl but who further had
taken away from them by Mr.. Roose-
welt and the new DEAL" half-bil-
lion dollars per year from their pen
sions and disability allowances which
they received under Hoover.
Fourth, the Negro people, most Of
whom suffer as workers, poor farm
ers and veterans, and suffer further
as an oppressed nationality, whose
wage-rates are omitted from even the
MIRA codes; or deliberately set at fig
ures from Is to so per cent lower
than the general starvation level,
who are more than ever being jim
crowed and lynched in this time Of

Fifth, the small bank depositors
(some workers and many middle
class people, whose savings have been
confiScated by the so-called "bank
failures" (Which is only another name
for the process of big banks eating
up the little banks. Many billions
of dollars have been sacrificed" in
this way-to go into the vaults OF
j. P. Morgan, John D. Rockefeller,
Andrew Mellon, and the rest of the
little group of rulers of America"
Sixth, the small business men are
also making sacrifices. The abolition
of the antitrust laws have removed
the last small restraints upon chain
stores, monopolies, and big trusts,
They are free to use their mass re-
sources to the full to crush and alb
serb the little fellow. At the same
time these monopolies are writing the
industrial codes" under the MIRA, in
such way as to guarantee monopoly
profits while squeezing out entirely
the little fellow.
On top Of all these sacrifices, which
all go to swell the treasures of mono-
poly capital, of Wall Street, further
billions of dollars are being taken by
the government through taxation of
the masses, and through the opera
lions of the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation are being passed on to
the banks, insurance companies, rail-
roads and great industrial corpora

These sacrifices made by the broad
masses of the people for the benefit

the expense of the masses and OF

This increased classification does
not and cannot overcome the crisis.
1t was the previous classification that
made the crisis so deep-going and
protracted. It does not organize
economy to overcome those features
which bring about crises and cata-
strophes. Tt only deepens the crisis
and drives the world even faster to
the further disaster of q new world

Reply to Criticism
Al NJ, Bronx. - We note in your
statement that you consider our COL
umn zone of the most stupid features
added to the Daily Worker" also your
apparently contradictory remark
about the writer's witty and clever
criticisms and diagnosis" We accept
your suggestion about sending our
contributions to the Daily NeWs-only
we'll wait for that until we reach our
second childhood and then we'll send
them in to the Department of Bright
Sayings of Children.
AS to the question of the fee for
an operation for piles, we wish to
advise you that our correspondent
was laborer who evidently has no
money, but apparently was willing to
borrow the sum asked. We still be-
lieve that 500 was an exorbitant price
to ask from working man in New
York, particularly when he can have
it done free of charge in hospital.
We intend to continue to advise our
readers along these lines, and we may
even publish price list for various
operations which the Bronx Medical
Society adopted some years ago. We
realize that this would be hateful to
you, but we consider the welfare of
the masses and not that of the iso-
lated individual. Most workers have
no physicians to be referred to; thus
differing from bourgeois correspon-
dents.
AS to the case of pregnancy in spite
of abortion, we are willing to grant
that you are greater authority on
human passions, lusts, weaknesses
and desires" than the writer. We
have no right to doubt it, for the
simple reason that we don't know
you. But it so happens that the letter
of our correspondent contained a def
mite statement which precludes any
doubt about new pregnancy. OF
course, no physician would ever
dream of considering such POSSIBLE
ity; they are such trusting bunch
those medicos, and they must learn
their guile and their psychology from
laymen.

group system in the units needs fur
ther study and consideration. We are
printing this article for discussion,
certain that other comrades will be
stimulated and will give their opinion
on this vital problem of inner Party
life. 1t is on the basis of the con-

to this question.
Organization Department
By SAUL
An important problem facing the
street unit is to combine agitation
with action. To organize an action
and actually lead the workers in the
neighborhood it is necessary to know
the territory, the concrete issues
facing the workers in the block. In
one place some families have been
cut off the relief list; in another,
landlord shut off the water to force
the Negro tenants to move out; in
a third, the children went on strike
. because of the conditions in school,
etc. Each neighborhood has its con-
crete grievances.
A unit in Section began to issue
a neighborhood bulletin. The re-
spouse to the bulletin is good one,
four to five hundred being sold of
each issue. This is good.
But the Bulletin is written prac-
tically by one comrade. In can
wasting, the comrades do not discuss
sufficiently with the workers their
conditions. They rather seem to
make the point the amount of bull
letins sold While we would like to
sell many bulletins, it is much more
important to spend time with the
workers, become friendly with them
and get them to tell us their griev-
ances. General propaganda without
action will not build organization.
The same is true Of the comrades
canvassing with the Daily Worker
One comrade of Unit ?, Section Is
has eight janitors taking the Daily
every Saturday. These janitors were
not called together, their conditions
were not discussed, they were not
drawn in to organization around their
concrete problems. This unit had q
meeting with Is workers and elected
a Block Committee. But no strug-
gle was developed by the Block Com
e nittee.
Too Many Inner Meetings
Our active comrades. our best forces
: have SO many inner meetings that
they have no time left for the work

have TO meet every week?
The present unit meetings are
poorly organized and are of little

general. If we would be able TO de-
vote every other Tuesday for the

Where the Workers
and Farmers Rule
cBy a Worker Correspondent

At a recent meeting in the Soviet
Union attended by delegates of old
women on the collective farms, many
got up to tell of their experiences.
The following is the speech of one of
them:
Kumush Nazinova, "a years old,
from Low Kurkigan told about her
life. 1 was forced to marry my hus-
band I was simply stolen. Two years
after my marriage I spent in Saklie
and scarcely ever left it. All day long
I spun. We we're poor. Then came
the revolution. The collectivisation
began. was afraid of the kolkhozes.
I did not want to enter one. Neither
would I let my children do it,
THE priests told us that it was bad
to work collectively. They told me
that l will be hungry and that my
children will leave me. Only after
a while I understood that the new
life was a good life. 1 am quite sure
that the kolkhoz is not only for the
youth but for the old as we'll. 1t is
for me too. Let our collective farm
grow"

you in that right"
Yeah? You don't say But take
a look at what the government and
the employers with the help of the
A. F. of L., try to do to those who
would exercise these rights"
The tobacco workers of Tampa
were organized in the Tobacco
Workers Industrial Union, affiliated
with the TUUL. The government of
Florida came in, destroyed its head
quarters, sent its leaders to prison
on frame-up charges SO fragrant that
even the U. S. Supreme Court was
forced to reverse the verdict, and
turned hundreds of it's members over
to the Washington authorities, who
deported them out of the country as
undesirable citizens" for daring to
take their rights of organizing a
union.
Later, when NRA became law, the
Tampa workers faith in their legal
rights revived-enough to organize
an entirely independent union of
their own on a local basis. They
sent a delegation to Washington to
talk with the NRA administration.
General Johnson and his aides refused
to talk with them. When the dele
cation returned to Tampa, they were
arrested, turned over to the Ku Klux
Khan, who beat them up severely
and ran them out of town. The
union headquarters were again
wrecked, and the members dispersed
by police terror.
That is the reality of the freedom
to join any union" as the Tampa
tobacco workers found it.
Or consider the case of the miners
of Utah and New Mexicol In these
two fields, the miners, by overwhel-
ming majority and secret ballot, de-
cided not to join the United Mine
Workers of the A. F. of L. They
didn't trust it, because it's officers
came into the field as the personal
friends of the coal operators and gov
eminent officials. Instead they joined
the National Miners Union. They went
on strike and won wage increases and
union recognition. Then came word
from Washington, from the NRA adj
ministration, that the local employers
made a mistake to settle with the
union The employers broke their
agreement. The union went on strike
again. The governors of Utah and
New Mexico, with the open help of
the U. S. Army, Of which Mr.. Roose-
welt is Commander in Chief, declared
military rule, martial law, arrested
all leaders of the NMU and hundreds
of its active members, holds them
incommunicado without trial, while
the A. F. of l.. officials openly issue
calls for scabs to come in and break
! the strike.
These are typical examples of what
is going on, in one form or another
all over the country, in all industries
Unions of their own choice!" What
a mockery!
For Whom Is the PLANNED Economy
But Zven if everything you say
is true" argues the blind follower
of Mr.. Roosevelt, that only means
that we must all make some sac
rifice for the common good that
will come from an organized
planned economy under the MIRA"

Comrade Editor:
Being a reader of the Daily Worker
whenever I can get one, usually at
the meetings here In South st. Paul,
I see you are making big effort to
increase the circulation of this paper
that to me and many of my friends
is the real and only workers paper.
But I want to tell you from what
lots Of men from the Packing House
here told me, that they never buy the
paper any more because they say
what is the use when there is never
anything in it about South st. Paul
or what is going on here, and that
when one member mentioned it to
Comrade Horwitz he just passed it
up. But I think that is right, and if
there was something about the things
that are done in South S. Paul, every
body would be more interesed to buy
