JNRA Amendments

For period Of three months after
Dec. IL, 1888, any employer affected
by Article III Of the code may en-
gage learners to supplant home work.
ers, who shall be paid not less than
70 per cent Oh the minimum wage
provided in the CODE" The amend
ment, therefore, allows the doing
away with the minimum wage in the
code for period of eight weeks by the
institution of learners to replace
home workers. This is 80 per cent
wage cut.
Coupled with this is another
amendment regarding wage provi-
sions in Article 2. The minimum rate
is 40 cents an hour for operators and
$14 a week for other workers. The
amendment reads: Persons whose
earning capacity is limited because of
physical or mental handicap may be
employed at a wage below the mini
mum. " This reduction in the
states, must not be below 10 per cent
Of the minimum established in the
code, and the proportion Of such
persons must be per cent. These
amendments, taken together, are a
virtual 80 per cent reduction in the
minimum wage allowed by the code.
The per cent qualification is then
nulkfied as. follows: THE code au-
thority (employers) may, upon ap-
plication and proof, allow the en-
ployer to employ more than per cent
of excepted persons" That is, the en-
ployerS, when they feel like it, can
exempt" as many as they want from
the minimum wage provisions in the
original code. These amendments,
ironically. wind up: These excep-
tons shall not be used by the en-
ployers as q device to evade the pro-
visions Of this code"
These are only few Of the most
recent examples Of legalizing the
siarpened attack on the workers.
They do not cover direct violations
of codes. which are general, or 'in-
te1pretatlons' Of codes. The Roose-
Welt government stands ready at all
times and without notice, to amend"
its codes when the employers need
the help Of the government In laying
off men, cutting wages and speeding
workers up.

Gary Anti-Fascist
Workers in Court
Arrest Follows Stop
ping of Fascist Meet

GARY, Ind.-Three workers who
were arrested on trumped-up charges
sworn out by members of the fascist
Macedonian Political Organization
will be tried on Dec. %. They will be
defended by the International Labor
Defense.
The workers, Mike Elloff, John La
zeroff and Pando Markoff, were
among the workers who prevented the
meeting at which Peter Aztef, secre-
tary of the fascist organization, was
scheduled TO speak.
Aztef was identified as one OF the
fascists who kidnapped and muir
dered Simeon Kavrahiroff, a worker,
in Bulgaria. He is the same fascist
who swore when he arrived in this
country nine months ago that he
would break up the Macedonian Peo-
pies Progressive League.
The workers at the meeting booed
and Kissed him and demanded to
hear true representative Of the Ma
cedonian people. Aztef picked up a
chair and attempted to hit young
worker who interrupted him with q
question. He was seized and the chair
taken away from him. He then took
out lead pipe. This, too, was taken
away from him.
Police arrested Aztef, charging him
with intent to kill with an instrument.

Of the Reds at first and asked us not
to start raising the question OF Com
muniSm in the strike. We assured
them that the strike was the fight
of all of us, and that we would,
through active participation, prove
the correctness of our position on
these questions; further, that the
question of Communism would be the
first thing raised by the agents of
the Steel Trust to try to discredit
the strike. We were able to prove
that we knew our enemies as well
as anyone and even better, and re-
ceived that trust of the farmers in
turn.
The ending Of the strike with the
smashing of all charges against
Tanttila arising out Of the local
strike, through the demand of the
strike committee, shows the strength
of the feeling in support Of the u.
F. J.. and the Party. Further, in

The final termination of the strike
after the meetings lasting several
hours, shows that the bourgeoisio tried
all their various schemes to break
the resistance of the farmers. When
the negotiations started they tried to
get a minority of the strike commit
tee together in order to break the
committee and through it the strike.
However, our comrades were alive
to the situation and rapidly
rallied the rest of the commit
tee to the meeting and thereby pre-
vented the plans of the milk trust
and Mayor Barker from succeeding.
The trust tried to put over a point
in the agreement of raising the but
terfat content of the milk to 4 per
cent from 3.5 per cent which was
forced back TO 53 per cent even in
this preventing the entire plan Of the
trust from going through.
At the same time the delegates OF

Proper Work of C. P

League Wins
BY KAY HEIKKILA

The milk shippers of the Bridge
man Russell, Virginia Creamery and
the Eveleth Creamery, organized into
the Northland Milk Producers Asso-
citation, have just finished a success
full strike for higher prices, winning
their demands after having been on
strike for several days
The strike was the result OF the
demand among the farmers for a
raise Of approximately one cent per
quart on raw milk sold to creamer-
les at two and one-half cents per
quart leaving six and one-half and
seven and one-hslf cents profit for
the creameries, per quart, for milk
being sold at nine cents and ten cents
per quart.
The demand first presented was
simply raise in the prices of milk,
which, Of course, was refused by the
Milk Trust representatives. There
upon the call for the strike was is
sued by the more militant member
ship OF the Producers Association,
and the whole organization lined up
behind 1t.

ISOLATION was quite evident in the
strike, many farmers having been
approached to join, and many having
been under the impression in the
past Of the H. A. being q militant

by the H. A. sell-out in the Duluth
milk strike some few weeks ago.

At the same time, the sympathizers
of the Communist Party and of the
United Farmers League in the or

Farm Leader, Beaten
by Gang, Returns for
Renewed Struggles

SEATTLE, Wash, Dec. 20,-Despite
all terroristic attacks, the United
Farmers League has called another
State Conference, to be held Jan. s
and 7. This was announced by c. Nj.
Boskaljon, State Secretary Of the
U. F. L.
Boskaljon was severely beaten when
he was kidnapped several months ago
by gang of rich farmers, American
Legionnaires and so-called "vigilantes'
as he tried to open the meeting Of
small farmers and agricultural labor
ers in the Yakima Valley.
Undaunted by this terrorism, Com
rade Boskaljon is going forward with
energetic preparations for the next
Conference. His letter to the Daily
Worker follows:
Dear Comrades:
The United Farmers League again
has called a United Front State
Conference, TO be held at Finnish
Federation Hall, I02 9Th Ave. and
Yeslerway, Seattle, Jan. ard I.
1884. We are determined this farm
ers conference L not going to be
broken up by vigilantes and fascists
as was done at Yakima.
This conference Is going 10 be 50
strong that police will not dare to
interfere. Over 500 calls have been
mailed TO organizations with the re-
quests for electing and sending dele
gates to this conference.
Enclosed find bill Of sale, which
speaks for itself. The western Wash
ington farmers are mostly small
stump ranchers trying to make
living by raising a few hundred
chickens or by milking several COWS,
or both. The prices Of eggs, miIks
and butter are so low, it is iinpos-
sibls to exist much longer. Many
begin to open their eyes, however
not until they are broke. The Ma
tionzl Robbery Act Is losing ground
Even the backward oranges are
coming our way.

Government figures indicate.
During the last two weeks, the
price of what the farmers sell

the manufactured things he buys
rose again, according to the Bureau
Of Agricultural Economics.
Compared with the pre-war av-

means whereby we can prepare our
selves for further struggles In the
future and actually make them more
effective and of greater mass chay-
acter.
For the Communist Party and the
UFL. this struggle was very I'M
portant. We have had many defeats
In the past and this victory must be-
brought home to the farmers and the
workers as proof of the fact that
striking can be successful in the face
of the forces Of the steel trust such
as were brought against us In these
sections.
We have the immediate task OF
penetrating into these territories
through meetings and through per-
sonal contact work. The G. p. and
the UFL. can get several splendid
fighters to add TO our ranks through
this struggle. At the same time 1t is
important to note some of the weak
nesses shown in our work. The units
responded very slowly to the call for
action. The closest units were the
worst, with actually no members In
the strike. Our comrades apparently
assuming the attitude that they were
exempt because they were not milk
shippers.
The only way In which we can carry
into effect the instructions of the

this activity and raising the
alarm among our own members in
responding TO these questions. Nov
we have the task OF coming out of
