VET-HUNTING SEASON
OPEN IN WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON, D. CT believe 1
have discovered a new sport here in
the East. Out in California, in the
fall of the year, we have an open
season of game. Those of us who
care to indulge, buy our own hunting
licenses and hunting material.
But when I was here with the rest
of the ex-servicemen to present our
demands for the bonus, I found that
the District of Columbia had de-
clared an open season on the vets.
And not only did the District Of
Columbia furnish the hunters guns
and ammunition, but also clubs, mo-
torcycles, blue uniforms. bright lit
tie star, and fat salary.
Out west the only paid hunters are
in the employ of the state or federal
government, and are paid to hunt
predatory animals. Can it be pos
sible that world war veterans and
ex-servicemen are now classed as
predatory animals, who might prove
menace to the little lambs of Wall
Street? j.

r. r. WORKER WRITES
ON VET HO0VERVILLE

NEW YORK, N. Y.--At West 79th
st. and North River, rs veterans
are encamped in Hooverville. Big
dealers such as Cushman, A. ana r.
and other capitalist trusts supply
them with food, clothing, shoes, and
cigarettes, and those who visit them,
give them few coins. In the morn
ing at sunrise the bugle is blown
and the American flag is raised over
this shanty camp, and at night when
the sun sets, the bugle is blown and
the flag comes down.
I work on the New York Central
Railroad, and pass there on my way
to and from work. AS I was going
home the day after Christmas, to my
surprise l saw Christmas tree all
illuminated in the camp. What price
glory, to keep them quiet by giving
them charity by the capitalists. This
camp is a show-place to show how
well unemployed veterans can share
for themselves. 1t is practically the
only Hooverville that ever gets into
the papers.
Do these men not see that this
charity they are getting is ashes to
blind them not to rebel? Can they
not open their eyes to see that they
are getting fooled? May ask you
editors if you could send a comrade
to talk to them? read the Daily
Worker every day and am more
than glad to read about things that
the Party achieved and accom-
plished. With best wishes for our
glorious paper your comrada--J.R

20 CENTS DAILY FEEDS
SOLDIERS IN PANAMA

CORDIAL, Canal zone.-We have
it pretty tough here, as it rains and
it is hot most of the time. We have
a night check. We can't stay out
after 1870, and if one does, he gets
court martial and may get a month
in the guard house or company pun
iShment.
The clothes they issue is not very
good They have it SO that we buy
all our clothes from the post ex-
change. They issue shirts that cost
us $1.35, and they fade from olive
drab to white; and once they are
white you are not allowed to wear
them. We could get shirts in priv
ate stores at $3.50, $500 and $3.50,
but they don't fade. We are not al
lowed to wear issue shirts for in
Spection or guard mount.
We have no Government laundry
and have to get our washing and our
bed clothes washed outside, which
costs another $500 a month. We have
to buy evening dress, too. We only
get 20 cents a day for our meals,
or 9 1-3 cents per meal and that is
pretty damn little for a soldier. I
see by the papers about the Hunger
March, and I hope something good
comes of it.

GLOVE WAGE CUT
Only Workers Unity
Will Bar Reduction.

GLOVERSVILLE, N. "a wage
reduction for the glove cutters Of
Fulton County has been accepted by
the officials of the A. F. of L. Glove
Workers Union. This cut is from
10 to 20 per cent, and the A. F,
of L. officials are trying to put it
over as a compromise" because the
bosses asked for straight IS per
cent cut.
This wage reduction would follow
the reduction put over in May. The
rank and file glove cutters are to vote
on the present reduction this week
Cutters should not only reject the
reduction, but should organize on an
industrial basis to fight the cut, and
break through the bonds of craft
unionism under which the A. r. OF
L. leaders are strangling their strug-
giles.

PIONEERS DESCRIBE THE
WAR SITUATION

NEW YORK CITY.-A couple of
Pioneers in the Coney Island troop
heard the events of the week at $50,
over WABC station Friday night,
where the speaker said that Russia
and the United States made an al
lance to stop Japan's doings in
China. We have been following this
whole situation in the Daily Worker,
and we analyze this speech as fol-
lows:
That the United States wants Chi
ma, and also is wanting to declare
war on the Soviet Union, the only
workers government, and is giving
Japan an excuse to declare war on
the Soviet Union.
The speaker also said that they
are rushing 100000 unframed troops
during the next months to come.

Workers Groups the Daily Worker
has received today a cablegram
requesting that it make public the
following appeal:
"The Irish Revolutionary Work
erS' Groups urge American work
ers and Irish Republican exiles to
send immediate financial help for
our election fight"
The Daily Worker will accept
and forward contributions for the
election fund of the Irish Revolu-
tionary Workers Groups and for
support of their paper, the "Work-
ers' Voice." whose publication has
been prohibited in Ireland by the
intimidation of the Valera govern
ment and is now forced to publish
in Glasgow. Contributions can be
sent either to the Daily Worker
or direct by International money
order to Sphinx Publications, 206
Pearce St., Dublin. Ireland. All
workers organizations are urged
to take up collections and forward
money for the election struggle.

TRICK MINERS
Jobless Diggers Sign
Slave Petition

TAYLOR, Pa (By MaiD Fifteen
hundred unemployed miners of
Taylor, at a meeting called by a
group of preachers, businessmen, etc,
calling themselves the Citizens
Committee" were tricked into prom
Using to sign a slave contract with
the Glen Alden Coal Company, The
miners many Of whom have been
unemployed for two years, signed a
petition stating: "We unemployed
miners of the Taylor, Pyne and
Archibald collierieS promise to work
at profit to the company"
This means that the miners pro-
vided the o1osed mines actually, open,
will go to work without knowing
what wages they will get. 1t also
means that the wages of those min
ers now working will be pulled down,
thus paving the way for putting
through a 20 to 30 per cent wage cut
throughout the Anthracite.
The role of the United Mine
Workers in this situation is partic-
ularly treacherous. The corrupt Of
f1cials of District /, UMWA, have
been in constant negotiation with the
Glen Alden company, but fear Of the
revolt of their rank and file has
prevented them from concluding a
wage-cut agreement. The UMWA
chiefs, however, stayed away from
the Citizens Committee" meeting in
order not to interfere with their
plans. After the miners had been
tricked into signing the petition, the
UMWA chiefs issued statement de-
claring that they had had nothing to
do with it. The statement, which was
full of high sounding phrases about
"the splendid traditions" of the
UMWA, contained not a word calling
on the miners to fight against the
slave contract
An appeal has been issued by a
rank and file group of unemployed
miners, calling on the miners to re-
fuse to sign the slave agreement and
urging them to organize a united
front struggle of employed and I'M
employed against the coal operators
and the corrupt union officials, and
for relief and unemployment insur-
anCe.

SMASH COSGRAVE
MEET IN IRELAND
30 Injured in Fight
On White Army

DUBLIN, Jan. 9. - The election
campaign in which the Irish Revolu-
tionary Workers Groups will run
candidates on a program of complete
separation from Great Britain and a
Workers and Farmers Republic, has
opened in g. manner that indicates
it will be one of the most bitter
struggles of it's kind in Irish history
Break Up Cosgrave Meeting.
At Cosgrave meeting here, with
the sister of the traitor Michael Col
Inns, and General Mulcahy, former
minister of defense in the Cosgrave
government, among the principal
speakers, the crowd refused to listen
and booed them down.
Fighting broke out when the Cos
grave White Army contingent of TOO
men attacked the crowd in co-opera-
ton with the police. This combina-
ton of force, was not strong enough
to disperse the crowd which repealed
the attacks and held its ground I'M
til the speakers decided it was USE
less to try to continue.
Smash White Army Windows.
80 persons are reported to have
been injured in the fighting.
The windows of the headquarters
of the Cosgrave White Army were
smashed by the crowd in which were
large numbers of Irish Republican
Army members and synpathizers.
Cosgrave is running on an open pro-
British platform.
The Sim Fein organization has
issued statement amounting to a
boycott of the elections saying that
since neither de Valera or Cosgrave
stands for complete independence it
can support neither. 1t is matter
of public knowledge, however, that
most of its members are working
against Cosgrave.
Bishop Aids Britain.
Bishop Fogarty has made the
charge, as a method of supporting
Cosgrave and British imperialism,
that the Withholding of the $15,000,-
900 yearly in land annuity payments
from Britain is a form of highway
robbery. This has aroused great
mass resentment.
