Tor the p0nGiclanS at Albany to pass
the price-fixing Pitcher Bill.
AS soon as he had done that, the
state politicians hid the bill in some
dusty corner. The farmers went out
on strike again. Farmers have been
arrested and beaten up. But the
farmers have given good account
of themselves. A number Of state
troopers are in the hospital.
Both assembly and state senate
haye finally passed the Pitcher Bill,
which sets up a control board in the
Agricultural Department to fix the
minimum price of milk 10 the con-
srner.
The bill is worded in such an in
definite fashion that it can read to
mean almost anything. 1t may" fix
the maximum price of milk to the
consumer and may" AK the price to
the producer. Milk dealers will be
licensed,
The control board will consist of
tlle Commissioner of Agriculture, the
Commissioner of Health, and another
member appointed by the Governor.
This board will try to insist" on fair
practices by dealers and will try to
see that the farmers get fair price
for milk.

THAT amt true. Those boys didn't
do anything" A greyheaded Negro
worker puts his arm around her
shoulder-"That's true, sister"
"Tl Go to Washington"
A petition is put up outside the
office of the News. Hundreds crowd
around, fighting to sign it. A woman
gets tired of waiting and goes into
the office. "Give me as many OF
those as I can carry. I'll get them
signed" She goes out into the
street, calling out for signers, A man
signs and says: ''Ill go to Washing
ton or Scottsboro when they say the
word, right now" Some of her
friends and neighbors come along.
She sends them after petitions. Soon
the avenue is dark with people.
Women and men are soliciting sigma
lures on every street corner.
A chair is brought out into the
street. A greyhaired man mounts it.
He opens the meeting where all who
wish can have their say against the
murder Of our boys" He speaks and
tells the story OF Scottsboro as he
knows it. He admits it is incom-
plete.
Brothers and sisters, saw hun

say to myself, why wasn't there?
Why weren't you there?

Farm Relief Act
Has "Teeth In IL

LOS ANGELES, June 9.-Atten-
ton of the entire livestock and
meat industry is now centered in
the administration of the recently
enacted Federal Farm Relief Act.
just how the Farm Act is to be
administered and to what extent
the normal channels Of trade will
be affected is not certain yet it
must be thoroughly understood that
the entire purpose of the Act is to
raise farm prices. The law has
teeth in it, and those in charge
of carrying out the will of the Ad-
miniStration are sincere in their
desire to see that the act does all
that it is expected to do in bring
ing about higher commodity prices.
1t is no secret that the livestock
and meat industry is pleased with
the character and ability Of the
men who have been appointed 10
az nil lister the Act. There has baen
apparent desire on the part of
Secretary OF Agriculture Wallace 10
work with the industry with as lit.
tie interference with normal bus:-
ness practices as possible. There Al

part Of the packers and meat dis

INTERPRETED

Thad NJ. Moore, member of Arl-
zCna state tax commission, has an
nounced that the tax commission
has ruled that ex-Service men are
entitled to the full $4,000 tax eX-
emption allowed under the laws Of
Arizona regardless of whether or
not the property sought to be ex-
empt from taxation lies wholly in
the name of the veteran or is COM
munity property belonging jointly
to the veteran and wife.
The ruling was made by the COM
mission in response to question
submitted by O. j. Lovett, assessor
of Yuma county, at the request of
Commissioner Moore and Commis-
sioner Frank Luke, father of Ari-
zona's famous war ace.
In circular letter to all county
assessors in Arizona the commits
sion recommended that the same
policy be followed throughout the
state provided that the total as
sessed valuation of property of vet
Grams seeking the $4,000 exemption
did not exceed $4,000.

Illegal Communist Paper Calls Socialist
Workers, Deserted By Their Leaders,
To Join the Communist PARTY

The Illegal fOur-page Hamburg
er VOakSzeitung," Hamburg news
paper of the Communist Party of
Germany, part OF which we repro
dace above, is headed by an ear
nest appeal to the Socialist workers
of Germany, reading as follows:
IAN earnest word to all members
of the Social Democratic Party.
A new August of the German So
ciaI Democracy. Otto Wells, chair
man of the Social Democracy, re-
signs from the Bureau of the So
cialist and Labor International.
Socialist Party breaks with the Sec
Ond International. Retreating be-
fore Fascism. Socialist workers,
now join the anti-fascist United
Front! Join the Communist Party,
Prepare for May l together with
the Communists.
eject Delegates to the European
Congress for struggle against the
fascist dictatorship.
"The deserti0n, open treason and
oapitulation Of your leaders to
Fascism have caused despair and
panic among you. Our Party is in
the throes sof a crisis, is para
lyzed, while the policy Of your
leaders has failed miserably. The
new decision to break with the Sec
Ond international has led to more
confusion in your ranks.
THE times are bitterly serious.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1933-05-01

In 1882, the factory produced one
million bearings, and saved two mil
lion gold rubles for the Soviet Union
that would otherwise have been spent
on foreign markets. In 1888, it will
produce eleven million bearings, saw
ing % million gold rubles. BY the
end of the second Five Year Plan,
the factory will produce "a million
bearings, entirely freeing the Soviet
Union from the need of any such
imports. The factory now employs
5000 workers, and will employ about
10000.
The Problem of Mastering Technique
Since this is new and young en-
terprise, the working force is also
new and young. Hence, the problem
of mastering technique, of raising
the productivity of labor, etc, are
central issues for this factory, as they
were set forth in the January PIE
mum resolution. A glance at the COM
position of the working force in the
plant will clearly illustrate this prob
lem.
Fifty-seven per cent of all workers
are of peasant origin, in industry for
the first time. Fifty per cent are
youth from 20 to % years, also with
no previous industrial experience.
Twenty-Five per cent are women.
Only 80 per cent are workers with
previous industrial experience.
At a meeting Of shock workers,
leading functionaries of the plant,
and managers of various sections in
the departments, questions of produc-
ton were discussed. Sohck-workers
spoke, explaining the obstacles in the
way Of fulfillment of the production
plan. One of these workers stated
Notwithstanding all my desires
and efforts to fulfill the plan, I
cannot do it. can only work three
and half hours productivity in a
days work"
And why was this so? From more
discussion in the meeting, and from
further talks with workers, we found
the answer. When the factory was
built the comrades had too little ex-
perience, and as result, the organ
ization Of the factory was very poor.
The machines were NOT placed In

newspapers and the effort to smash
proietarian organizations, the sci
zure of union headquarters and
the confiscation Of proletarian
property.
"Times such as this demand of
the pr0letarian party, iron deter
rninatiOn, a clear Marxist policy,
international struggle and the for
nation of the proletarian fighting
united front for the overthrow of
the Fascist dictatorship. This is the
position of the Communist Party.
Where does the Social Democracy
stand?
"The break OF the leaders of the
Social Democracy with the Sec
end International is break with
the workers who are members of
that party. 1t is a disgracefuI de-
CisiOn of profound national and
international significance. There
fore the answer of the Socialist
workers to the unheard-of treason
of their leaders must be their

Party"

Item for Forwards:
Czech Socialist Paper
AdmitsWels Treachery

The Jewish Daily Forward has re-
peatedly stated editorially that "the
Communists lie when they say that
Otto Wells, chairman Of the German
Social Democracy, has betrayed the
heroic, fighting German working
class" To refresh forwards" mem
CRY, we are reprinting comment from
a Czech Socialist newspaper, the
Ouch casu." The editorial says:
"There is no use in denying that
the resignation Of the Chairman of
the German Social Democracy from
the Executive of the Labor and So
cialist International because of the
latter's decisions is a deliberate de-
sertion from the battlefield OF the
proletariat's class struggle, weak
ening Of the fighting strength Of the
working class, and an objective sup
port of the Hitler dictatorship" The
workers will ask the forward:
Who's lying now?"

fBy an American Worker,


How do the workers Of the Soviet
Union connect their daily life and
tasks with the whole Of immense So
cialist construction, of which they are
a part? How is the life of one fac
tory directed by the decisions of the
Communist Party Of the Soviet
Union?
Wishing to find a concrete answer
10 these questions, the writer spent
some days in a great new factory in
Moscow, to study how its workers are
realizing in life the decisions Of the
January Plenum of the Central
Committee of the CP.SU.
The central task Of the first Five
Year Plan, in the words of Conrade
Stain, was ITO transform our coun-
try, with its backward, and in part,
medieval technique, to the path Of
new modern technique" After sum-
ming up the accomplishments of the
First Five Year Plan, successfully
completed in four years, the January
Plenum Of the Central Committee
has set forth the new tasks of the
second Five Year Plan.
SO characteristic of the entire work
Of the Bolshevik Party, the Plenum
took hold Of the main link in the
chain of problems confronting the
country and stressed the most out
standing points of attack in the Sec
ond Five Year Plan. The most out
standing ones are: mastering OF
technique and raising the quality OF
production; greater productivity OF
labor; decreasing the costs OF pro-
duction; raising the material and
