vania and many other states that
the big insurance companies were
forced to admit that it was impos-
sible to enforce collection of farm
mortgages.
But the Roosevelt administration
is trying to come to the rescue of
the mortgage holders by using the
power of the federal government to
try to bludgeon out OF the farmers
enough to satisfy the bankers and
the mortgage sharks.
Many of these farm strikes have
been highly successful and there is
every indication that they, are ris-
ing to higher levels.
Upsurge Of Veterans Struggles
The dramatic struggle of the war
veterans was q powerful factor in
unmasking the hunger and war gov
eminent at Washington. These war
veterans, who had been told there
would be nothing too good for them
when they were needed to defend
the investments in Europe of the
House of Morgan during the world
war, were being cheated out of their
back pay-the so-called bonus-by
the hunger government.
One. of the most infamous chap
tiers in the record Of government
tyranny was written when a part of
the armed forces of the country, on
express orders of the president of
the United States, drove out with
fire and sword the veterans encamp-
ed on Anacostia field last July 49,
The heroes Of yesterday had, In the
eyes of the government they fought

try against wage cuts, involving 49,
600 workers. There were number
of small strikes in various indus
tries-printing, building, etc, dur
ing that same period. On July Is
came the strike of mill workers at
High point, North Carolina. In the
middle of August 10000 miners in
Southern Illinois went out on strike.
All of these struggles, while they in
Dictated determination on the part
of the rank and file to fight against
hunger, met with little success. The
leadership in some cases did not
know how to conduct an effective
struggle and in some instances there
were conscious agents of the bosses
who betrayed the workers
Victorious Strike Struggles
One of the most significant ac-
tiops was the strike of workers in
the Republic Steel works plant at

was won.

was set aside by the nationwide
protests that flooded Washington
and by the splendid discipline and
defiant heroism of the marchers
themselves.
1t can be definitely recorded that
there are tens of thousands of men,
women and children alive today in
the United States who would have

this nationwide struggle against

carried out by the Unemployed
