Conditions in Natl
Smelling Co.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Nov. 9.-The
workers OF the National Copper and
Smelling Company won recognition
of the Steel and Metal Workers IN
dustrial Union and improved condi-
tons as a result of a conference with
the management Saturday. The
workers threatened to strike unless
the company granted their demands.
The workers demanded that the
company install a Yentilating sys-
tenn to take the smoke and fumes
out of the shop; heat in the shop
during the winter months; recogni-
ton of the S. M. w. I. o.; and an
increase in pay. All demands were
granted except pay increase, which
was left for final decision at an
other conference.
The president Of the company was
surprised when the union officials
produced written document of
recognition which he was forced to
sign Frank Rogers, organizer Of the
S. M. w. I u. represented the
Union with five elected delegates
from the shop.

United Front
A ciear-cut policy will be worked
out as to how to unite the metal
workers in a given plant or industry
on the basis of a concrete program
regardless of their union affiliations,
for struggle to improve their condi-
tons. Our experiences in the dry

among the light metal workers, espe-
cially among the silver workers, will
be very helpful in hammering out

followed by our union. Special at
tention will be paid to number of
independent unions that sprang up
during the past few weeks among the
riggers, ship joiners, sheet metal
workers and other trades. Our aim
will be not only to bring about joint
struggles with the workers organized
in the Independent unions, but also
to try to convince these unions TO
affiliate to the s. NJ. w. I. U.
Strike Experiences
Our union led about 5000 workers
in strikes during the past few months.
A detailed analysis will be given Of
the experiences we had in these
strikes.
Particular attention will be given
to the problem of taking the neces-
sary steps to consolidate the ranks
of our union. This can be done by
being vigilant in maintaining the
conditions which we have gained as
a result of our strike struggles; by
an intensive educational campaign
among the workers on the role OF
the A. F. Of L. leadership, the essence
Of the N. r. A, the policy Of our
union, and other important questions.

elected at this convention, for the

Scab Shipments of
Produce Stopped by
StrikingPickets
Provocateurs Fire the
Bridges; Call Sent
for Troops

DIES MONIES, Nov. s.-The two
latest developments in the farm
strike are the undisputed success of
the strikers in stopping the deliveries
of farm products, and the increasing
use of armed deputy thugs and pro-
vocateurs against the strikers.
Hired bands of thug-deputies from
the larger cities are touring the roads
in cars, armed with clubs, baseball
bats, blackjacks, ETC., looking for
groups Of pickets to attack.
At the same time, obviously provo
cative reports of burning of train
bridges, etc. are being widely circu-
lated to provide the occasion for the
intervention of Federal troops against
the strikers.
The president of the Great North
ern Railway yesterday asked for Ma
tional Guard and Federal troops to
guard the railroads after such reports
were spread by the newspapers.
Sub-zero weather has reduced pick
citing somewhat, though the amount
of produce being shipped remains as
low as ever, only IS head of cattle

centers.
In Minnesota, the strike continues
to spread, most Of the creameries
having closed down.

Meeting

CHICAGO.-Thousands of Iowa
farmers from all over the western
part of the state are planning a big
welcome meeting at DeniSon, Iowa,
Nov. II, at Columbia Hall to greet
farmers from the far west and north
west on their way to the momentous
Farmers Second National Confer
ence, which will be held at Chicago
Nov. 1913.
Delegations from Washington, Ore
gon, Montana, Wyoming, Nebraska
and North and South Dakota will
converge on Denison, which has been
the scene of much militant action on
the part of the exploited farmers,
both in stopping foreclosures and
evictionS of farmers from their
homes and on the picket lines in milk
strikes. A delegation of 20 farmers
from this region is expected at the
conference.

not mentioned in Mrs. Roosevelt's
newly published book, or in the hui
manitarian blurbs of the welfare cru
saders. Nor do they mention the
rapid increase in evictions in every
city in the country.
The majority of the unemployed do
not get any relief at ALL AS for rent,
those who receive rent are excep-
tional. But suppose an unemployed
worker is lucky enough to get on the
relief rolls. How does he fare? The
fact that the allowance for a man
for food in New York City is S1.65 a
week and $1.55 for woman and the
same for q child from 12-l4 years,
tells the story Of the standard set by
the government relief agencies. This
standard, far below the minimum
standard set by capitalist economists
as a minimum starvation diet, serves
to aid in reducing the wages of those
still clinging to jobs.
An example of this diet" from
Buffalo, New York, Is typical. The
department of social welfare OF the
city of Buffalo issues a circular en-
titled Feeding the Family at Low
Cost" which gives weeks sample

relief given out by that city. To take

let him buy Liberty and read the

course, one salad dressing will take

A large proportion of the 1900 900

Relief has been drastically cut in

The whole refrain Of the charity,

and the Russian Cooperative Society
on the north side are being donated
to the Conference.
Collections of produce from the
farmers at the Chicago markets is
being organized by the WIR., as
well as collections of staples from
workers of Chicago. The bulk of the
food will be brought in by the farm
ers themselves, who are collecting it
from the farmers back home who
won't be able to attend the Confer
ence but are watching it with the
greatest interest. Farmers in South
Dakota report that they are bringing
with them a 200-pound dressed hog
and potatoes for the Conference. The
Farmers League will donate
at least one truckload of produce to
the Conference. Farmers who belong
to cooperatives are urged to ask them

whom are expected for the four days

The touching welfare crusade" led
by the two motherly graces who
supply the human kindness" front
for the Roosevelt administration, Mrs.
Roosevelt and Secretary Of Labor Per-
kins, do not cover up the ugly facts
of increased layoffs and growing hun
ger of the unemployed. Tons Of ap-
pealing literature now being issued by
the welfare and charity organizations
do not hide the story Of suicide, evic-
ton and starvation, which becomes
more and more acute as winter APP
proaches, nor are these crusaders a
satisfactory substitute for relief.
Suicides because Of unemployment
have noticeably increased. Here is
letter from Cleveland, which Is
typical Of reports received every day
by the Daily Worker:
Last Sunday, John r. Schoenberg
killed himself and his nine year old
daughter by means Of morpheus tab
let's, deadly drug. An expert phar-
macist with 20 years experience, he
could not find work at any wage. He
offered himself for any kind of job
but was unsuccessful"
Another worker, imbued with pes
simism and hopelessness, Joseph
Howe, only ~ years old, this week
shot himself in the heart on the roof
of his West 47th st. tenement home
in New York. He couldn't find work.

with family OF six, shunted back
and forth by the New York home re-
lief bureau and the charity societies
for more than two days without hav-
Ing food pass his lips and refused re-
lief, went home and hung himself.
These workers, and many others,
took the wrong way out, giving way
to despair, instead Of organizing with
the unemployed councils and putting
up q fight for relief. These are some
