Frances.
One of the very excellent habits of
Mrs. Norman Thomas is that of put

merely meant that for one week the

out a cent pay, and for that week I
was terrified lest lose my job the

About June of this year Mrs.
Thomas hired southern slave driver
from Georgia, Miss Leona Mcbride,
to act as manager of her tea room.
Formerly Miss Mcbride worked as
efficiency manager Of the Alice Foote
McDougal Tea Rooms, and she put
the same efficiency into effect at the
Socialist" tea room.
She cut down On the choice of

completely, and the girls began to

when we'd complain about the

greatly concerned, and say, Well,

based on little LnaC was more SOHO
than hearsay, snatches OF books and
articles, occasional lectures, former
discussions of a similar kind. A few
had actually made excursions that
brought them into more direct con-
tact with the revolutionary move
ment, but the impact had been nei-
Their fruitful nor permanent. A
chance poisonous word dropped by
some renegade, or barrage OF facts
from r bourgeois .statistician, could
work havoc with their attitudes.
And yet. these people, so typical
Of other groups throughout the coun-
try, were sincerely concerned with
these problems. The indecisiveness
characteristic Of their class, intellec-
tual confusion, psychological kink,
seemed to paralyze them when con-
fronted with action. When this group
finally reached the conclusion that
knowledge was indispensable, it must
not be forgotten that we we're in the
fourth year of the crisis, with its
fierce pressure upon white collar
workers; this situation, if no other,
explains the urgency felt by the
group to understand the basic prin-
ciples of Communism, Collecting
about a dozen friends, this initial
group appointed a committee to go
to the Workers School. They secured
a teacher and thus created a first
study group, unconsciously laying the
basis for a White-collar organization
which is fast assuming a mass char
acter
The initial group of II began to
study, and with clarity came enthus-
iaSm. This enthusiasm was contagious
and spread rapidly among their
friends, who wished to Join similar
study groups. The members Of the
initial group realized that they had
function to perform right then and
there-forming new study groups, as
| fast as people wanted them. But this
was not enough. AS they studied, they
found themselves urgently wishing to
transform theories into action. En-
| couraged and directed by their teach
er, this desire for action finally took
on concrete shap. An organization
was formed-the United Front Sup
porters-dedicating itself to active
support of the revolutionary move
ment by giving concrete aid to the
Communist Party and its affiliated
organizations.
The most effective aid, it was felt,
could be given by the activization of
the members, individually and in
group form. Through parties, pledges
collections, hundreds of dollars have
| already been raised and contributed
to the Scottsboro fund, the Anti
Imperialist League, the Marine
Workers Industrial Union, the West
Side and East Side Unemployed
Councils.

Biddy Puts Crease
In Wallace's Brow

Washington, Aug. 22.-(F-The
hen, by doing her duty, has
caused another crisis for the
farm adjustment administration.
It Is the old story-large sup
plies and low prices to the farm
ers. The hen is not entirely
responsible but has contributed
her part to both situations. For
instance, cold storage supplies OF
eggs and poultry are 40 to So per
cent greater than a year ago.
Chickens and eggs sell for al
most a billion dollars yearly but
are not considered basic agricul-
tural products in the farm ad-
justment act. Consequently the
control plan applied to cotton
and wheat, by which a tax is
levied to raise money for pay
mentS to farmers who cut pro-
duction, cannot be used to re-
duce the number of chickens and
eggs.
Yet farm officials say any plan
adopted must be national to do
any good. Marketing agreements
may be the solution. Anyhow.
the farm administration Is try
ing to work out a plan.
In making that announcement,
the administration said that the
number Of chickens is estimated
at 37o 900 coo and that 2,0ec co.,
900 eggs are laid yearly.

Government Ready to
Begin Buying of Pigs

Chicago, Aug. 22.-(P)-Uncle Sam
was preparing Tuesday to swap dol
lars for hogs in an effort to reduce a
troublesome surplus and raise farm
prices in the corn belt and other pork
producing regions.
Wednesday he will open his pocket
book to buy up to 100000 pigs and
a million sows at six midwest stock
yards-Chicago, Kansas City, Omaha,
st. Paul, Mimi, Sioux City, and st.
Joseph Mo. BY Monday purchasing
will get underway at other markets.
Secretary of Agriculture Henry A.
Wallace, in announcing the plan here
last week, said it was expected to cost
about SIS .0O00 900 and to be paid for by
processing tax on pork products be-
geinning Oct. !.
The hope is to eliminate part of the
fall crop of pork and farmers willing
to sell sows due to farrow will receive
the market price plus flat premium
Of 81 head. BY not making usual
market deductions on sows the farm
er will benefit another dollar or so,
representatives of the agricultural adj
justment administration said.
The premium for pigs will amount
to 81 to 81 hundred pounds.

jamestown Signs New
Pitcher for Series

jamestown, N. D.. Aug. 22.-Willie
Foster, who with Barney Brown, is
considered one OF the four greatest
colored pitchers in the country will
be In the lineup for jamestown when
the local club meets Bismarck in a
three-game series September 2, and
4 on the Capitol City diamond.
Foster will pitch in the east section
tournament in Chicago September 10.
With Brown. Foster and Freeman,
jamestown will have a pitching staff
second to none In the country.
Foster and Paige, who is pitching
for Bismarck, were originally sched-
uled to oppose each other In the
tournament at Chicago on Sept 10,
and it is probable that the local star
will take time out to keep the en-
gagement. Fans in this section Of the
country will be given an opportunity
Of seeing these two great pitchers face
each other in the series here the first
week in September.
