NeU Hampshire Textile Workers Strike Against
HUNGER Wages; Answer to "Pt0sberlty" Talk

In spite of ali the ballyhoo about
wage increases being in effect in vari-
Gus parts of the country the facts,
even as put forth by the capitalist
press, show that this claim is un-
founded. 1t is clear that this talk
about wage increases is only to try to
stop the struggle now beginning for
increased pay to keep pace with the
rapidly rising cost of living.
In Dover, New Hampshire, more
than 1000 textile workers in the Pa
cific Mills are on strike.
Reject Plea to Wait Govt. Action
The workers scorned the plea OF
the management to postpone action
pending action at Washington on
Roosevelts industrial bill" to regu-
late hours, wages and conditions OF
labor. The workers demanded an i'm
mediate increase of IS per cent in
wages. The mill is completely closed
by the strike.

Though the Roosevelt government
demagogically tries to appear as be-
ing very liberal with the veterans
through granting them Ft. Hunt, ETC.,
actually through his orders to the
War Dept. to hold all troops within
the area of Baltimore and Washing
ton in readiness to brutally attack
the veterans, he shows that he will
positively refuse to pay the veterans
the bonus long due them, and will
handle them even worse then Hoover,
il necessary.
The training at Fort Myer is ty-
pical of what is going on in all posts
in this area. The troops of the Bird
Cavalry, who were very active in the
attacks of last July have all been is
sued emergency instructions for the
next slaughter. These instructions call
for complete readiness of equipment
and men. Steel helmets, gas masks,
tear gas, loaded pistols, ammunition
for machine guns and drawn sabers

which they will be formed to go down
town for action against the vets.
The men of the 10th Field Artillery
who ordinarily are not prepared for
riot duty, as the cavalry are, are be-
ing given intensive mounted drills and
riot formation instruction, SO as to
make them fit. All men available are
being given this training. The use Of
pick handles, made into clubs, as well
rs loaded pistols are to be the weapons
Of the artillerymen. Gas masks have
been issued to all Batteries. The men
of this post as well as throughout the
area are already being restricted.
This is done so that they may not be
able TO speak to veterans and thus

5000 DEMONSTRATE AGAINST BOSSES
THUG TERROR IN MILITANT UNIONS

NEW YORK.-About 5000 needle
trades workers and workers of other
trades demonstrated Saturday in
Union Square against the murderous
reign of gangster terror unleashed
against the Needle Trades Workers
Industrial Union and other unions by
the bosses in an effort to stop by vio-
lence and guns the workers fight for
better conditions in their trade.
The meeting was called by the
Needle Trades Workers Industrial
Union, whose headquarters at 1873

ers severely injured in battle in
which the thugs were routed.
Great Determination
Enthusiasm and applause greeted
the many speakers, who called for the
organization of defense corps 60

eteers out of the trade" Since the
attacks are general in every trade, the
speakers pointed out, all workers
should rally behind the campaign and

Threat to Use Militia.
Adjt.- Gen. Immell has stated that
the state is prepared to use the mi
litia in case of emergency and they
are prepared for "a hours day
service. In Milwaukee county, Hoans
police force has been preparing sew
eral days for the strike. All leaves
Of absence have been cancelled BY
Sheriff Joseph SINNERS, and 80 men
have been put on 24-hour emergency
duty. Eleven radio squad cars will
constantly patrol the county's roads,
equipped with machine guns, gas
bombs, brass knuckles and all the
other implements of warfare that the
bosses use against the working class.
Hoan's Strikebreaker on Job.
When the strike began the strik-
ers had complete control of 20 coun-
ties with 80 counties considered still
open. Harry Bragarnick, farm
holiday mediator appointed by the
socialist mayor Hoan of Milwaukee
and known as a notorious strike
breaker from his past activities, was
asked by United States Secretary OF
Agriculture Henry A. Wallace, the
day before the strike began, to be
prepared to come to Washington, d.
G. on a moments call. Secretary
Wallace wired he will also ask Milo
Reno, national president of the holi-
day movement, to attend This is
in line with the strike breaking tao
tics of the Socialist Party in Mil
waukee as we'll as elsewhere.
Illinois Farmers Join Strike.
Three thousand Illinois farmers
have also joined the milk strike. A
mass meeting was held on May II
at Woodstock, Illinois, at which
Singler spoke, urging them to join
the strike. The vote was unanimous
to join them. When E. L. Bost OF
Harvard, Ill, asked for a rising vote
Of those who did not wish to strike,
not single farmer stood up.
Since the last milk strike in Wis
consin, there has been a state united
front conference of workers and
farmers, held in Madison on March
5 and 6 with 2OS delegates represent
ing $4,000 workers and farmers. A
state action committee of SO were
elected and they have been active
since then in organizing workers and
farmers throughout the state on the
basis of common demands. The work
done by this conference and the ac-
ton committee will be reflected in
the present strike and due to such
groups, greater vigilance will be kept
upon the leaders and their tactics.

lowing a dispute with his landlord as
a result Of which his brother and the

Order Firing of Naval
Supply Depot Workers

NEW YORK.-About 500 of the
600 employees at the Naval Supply
Depot, Third Avenue and Twenty
ninth Street, Brooklyn, will be dis
charged July / on the orders of Sec
rotary Swanson of the Roosevelt
government. Most of these are civ
ilianS.
Thirty per cent in operating ex-
penses will be saved by this move it
was announced
The saving does not mean curtail-
ment in war preparations as the
government would have it appear
The work of the Naval Supply Depot
will be taken over by the Brooklyn
Navy yard to be done by the enlisted
men at navy wages. The saving will
be used not for the unemployed but
to build up the navy for war.

to continue their dis
ruptive work.
Defeat Disunity Attempts
Harold Foulkrod, who tried to be-
come the pet of the police and the
government, and some of his asso-
ciates tried to disrupt the ranks of
the marchers by a campaign of SIAN
ders against Communists. When some
of the 200 men who followed him de-
manded to go to the main camp, he
did not dare refuse outright, but said
that he would go if Emanuel Levin
and Harold Hickerson we're out of the
Liaison Committee.
On the recommendation of Levin,
himself, that this maneuver be met
with the resignation of himself and
Hickerson from the committee, such
action was taken. Levin and Hick-
erson resigned in order that this
excuse to promote disunity in the
ranks should be removed.
Opposition to designations
When this proposal was made,
there was considerable opposition to
their resignation, and they received a
big ovation for their activities in con-
nection with the organization Of the
march and the convention.
The veterans are learning through
their experiences that the Commu-
nists were the first ones to fight for
the bonus and against the disability
cuts.
VIII Defeat Descriptive Elements
Mike Thomas, who also came in
was camp commander at Anacostia
last year and has among his followers
many disruptive elements, such as
Beer, who last December pretended
to be a supporter of the Communist
Party and now openly fights the
Party. However, these elements will
not be able to carry out their de-
signs, because they are known, and
every disruptive move will be I'M
masked and defeated.
Convention Postponed Few Days
Because of delegates coming in late,
the convention will be postponed a
few days, but will start this week,
probably Tuesday and Wednesday,
Every day there are new attempts
on the part of the government and
politicians to defeat the demand of
the marchers for the bonus and the
fight against the cuts in disability
allowances and pensions. Yesterday
Congresswoman Jenkes of Indiana
Fades of Pennsylvania and former
Congressman, Albright Of Oklahoma,
have been advising the men not to
go too strong on the bonus right
now" Many of those who were in
the previous march are aware of the
way these people maneuver and are
warning the others against their ac-
tivities.

OF the Farm Holiday ASSocl-
alton in calling off the National
Farm Strike eight hours be-
fore it was scheduled to start.
Setting Up Rank and File Control.
Walter Singler, head of the Wis
consin Cooperative Milk Pool, who
has been working with Reno, is in
the leadership of the Wisconsin milk
strike. However, here as well as in
Iowa and Minnesota, there are being
set up committees of action, elected
by rank and file farmers.
1t is also certain that the Unem-
ployed Councils in Racine, Milwaukee
and other counties will again picket
the roads with the farmers as they
did last year, as there have been
careful preparations for this unity
of action of workers and farmers.
Government Trying to Stop Strike.
The state government and the local
governments are moving to try to
stop the strike. On Thursday after
noon, May II, in Madison, the state
capitol, district attorneys and sheriffs
from every county except Iron, and
police from Milwaukee and other
cities gathered in the assembly
chamber to lay their plans for break
ing the strike. Leo T, Crowley, chair
man of the governors executive coun-
Gil. Adjt. Gen. Ralph Immell and
Att. Gen. j. E. Finnegan gave the
plans worked out by the bosses. They
were first told to see that the strike
was peaceful strike. Then they
we're told that the roads should be
kept open" where farmers wanted to
deliver milk. Then, because in the
last strike many deputies were SYM
pathetic toward the farmers (being
farmers themselves and relying upon
their votes) they were told, I'VE do
not want your personal sentiments
to interfere with carrying out orders.
If any of you feel that your personal
sentiments will interfere, now is the
time to make it known.
See Immediate Conflict.
Anything beyond the carrying OF
sign to indicate the existence of a
strike, according to state authori-
ties, would not be peaceable picket
ing y. In other words the block
ing of roads so as to prohibit the
transportation of persons and merch-
andise would be a violation Of
peaceful picketing'.'
This means immediate conflict be-
tween the farmers and police because
following the line of the last strike
they will use trees, rocks, logs, rails
etc, to bar the highways in the event
any cars or trucks do not heed the

creases" reported affect only trifling
numbers of workers. For instance,
from Brockton, Massachusetts, comes
the report that a shoe concern in
creased the wages of So workers 10
per cent. From Portland, oregon, we
are told in the capitalist press that
35 workers in the hop yard Of brew
ing concern received a wage increase
Of 10 per cent. From Rochester, New
York it is reported that an extra shift
may be put on in glass tank con-
Germ to fulfill orders for New York
brewery.
Nothing About Jobless Insurance
Such trivial items as these are
printed to deceive the workers and
to make believe that conditions are
improving. The press is silent on the
fact that the Roosevelt railroad le-
gislation will scrap lines, cut down
passenger and freight runs and throw
from 10000 to 100000 workers out of
jobs, thereby still further increasing
the unemployed army, now well over

shows that its main provision is that
of raising money to help meet the
federal budget.
1t is certain that there is general
agreement on the sales tax of at
least 1-2 per cent to raise revenus
of approximately $4,000, 900 toward
the 220000,000 considered necessary
to cover the indebtedness.
Roosevelt was advised by Wagner
that there was too much opposition
from the rich to an income tax in
crease and that the poor should be
made to pay most of the needed rev.
enue through the general sales tax.
Roosevelt Breaks Another Promiss
This is the same kind of a sales
tax proposal brought forth last win
ter by the Roosevelt administration,
which Roosevelt termed horrible"
and which the democrats in the Sem
ate and House defeated. Now Roose-
welt and his supporters bring it for
ward as their own bill.

officials, who also opposed the Hoo
yer sales tax proposals now favor
the same bill as put forward by
Roosevelt because the demagog in
the White House calls it "re-em-
ployment bill" AS a matter of fact

cause it forces consumers to pay thu

Waters, the agent of Police Com

WHEN TO PLANT

The time to make the first out-of.
door paintings of vegetables depends
upon the soil and weather conditions:
the kind of crop; and the time the
produce is desired. In this region, the
first planting usually should be made
as early in the spring as the danger OF
cold injury is past.
The vegetable crops may be grouped
into several classes in respect to cold
resistance:
/. Winter-hardy crops, not injured by
severe mid-winter freezing. Can be
planted as early in the spring as the
ground can be prepared. Asparagus,
horseradish, rhubarb and winter onions
belong in this group.
2. Hardy crops, which will Withstand
hard frosts, but not severe freezing.
Kale, kohlrabi, spinach, trrnip, ruta-
baga, mustard, onion, radish, satisfy and
peas. These, as well as well hardened
cabbage and cauliflower plants, may be
planted as soon as the soil can be pre-
pared.
8. Haf-hardy crops, which will with
stand hard froStS and whose seeds will
terminate at low temperatures. Beets,
chard, carrots, lettuce, endive, chiccry,
and parsnips as well as well hardened
celery plants. Seeds and plants may be
planted 2 or weeks before frost danger
is over.
4. Tender crops, which are unable to
xrysf acfo Nd rr,H1 q
will not terminate in cold SOIL Snap
beans, sweet corn, cucumbers, squash,
pumpkins and tomatoes. Plans so that
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1933-02-24
the plants do not appear above ground

the plants do not appear above ground
until frost danger is over.
S. Very tender crops, injured by con-
tinued cold weather, even though there
is no frost. Lima beans, eggplant,
muskmelons, peppers, and okra. Should
not be planted until the soil has become
warm, usually about May 20 to June /,
in the latitude of st. Paul.
A planting table on how much seed to
plant, planting distances and depths,
planting and tranSplanting dates, num-
Der of days to mature from seed, longe-
witty of seed, crops which are trans
planted, and crops which may be used
in succession paintings, may be obtained
without charge from the Mailing Room,
University Farm, st. Paul.
When you write for this planting table
you will receive several additional leaf
lets related to the forthcoming articles.
These include plans for long-roW vege-
table gardens, small vegetable gardens,
combination flower and vegetable gar
dens, plans and directions for making
and using hotbeds, vegetable varieties
recommended for Minnesota, etc.
