Sailors Fed Putrid
Meat on SIS. Haiti

NEW YORK--A story of putrid
meat served to the men aboard the
SIS. Haiti was related by the crew
of the ship, which just docked in
New York. The steamer left New
York on Thursday, July 27.
About seven or eight days out of
New York we began to notice that
the food was getting rotten one
seaman said. 1--WE could notice the
taste was getting worse all the time.
1t was not until eight or nine days
ago that we made any complaint
In Norfolk fresh meat and ice were
brought aboard, but the crew was
given none of this meat. 1t was
saved for the officers and the crew
was given the same rotten meat.
The bread was also bad part Of the
time"
When the ship docked, delegate
Of the Marine Workers Industrial
Union was notified. With COM
mittee from the ship, he took a can
of the putrid meat TO the Barge Of
f1ce, to complain to the Public Health
Service. They were referred to Hud-
son and Jay st. From this point
they were referred back to the barge
office, to the Shipping Commissioner
who passed the buck to the Deputy
Commissioner.
This worthy official shifted the
meat and ordered it removed. The
next visit was to the City Health
Department, which disclaimed res
possibility, but recommended the
Public Health Service. In no in
stance were the workers able to
register complaint Government
agencies are not interested in such
matters.
An attempt by the M.WI.U. dele
gate to organize the workers in an
effective protest was unsuccessful.
The crew was so terrorized by COM
pany dicks" that they simply walk
ed out in disgust. I.W.W. members
aboard refused to join in any action.

NEW YORK CITY.
Comrade Editor:
Mrs. Mory Sergassi, of 219 East
18th Street, New York City, read in
newspapers of the charitable work
that the Salvation Army was doing
and so, being In need of charity, she
went to the Salvation Army to help
her. After giving her life history
and telling them why she was born,
she was told to get out. She told
them she was starving and asked for
bread, and that she was willing to
work for it, but they only called her
a beggar and informed her she had
a bad record for asking for work.
1t is about time real expose of
the Salvation Army was started, and
I think the Daily Worker can do It,.
That is the reason for this letter.
Editors Note.-We ask all work
ers who have had any experience with
the Salvation Army to write US
about it. An article exposing this
racketeering outfit will be compiled
on the basis of the information we
receive)

Why have no stories been printed
on the strikes of the Mona Electric
Corp, of 524 Broadway; the Plym-
outh Card Co., of $40 Broadway, and
the ]. g. S. Milberg Co., of 512
Broadway?
Hundreds of workers from these
three firms have been out on strike
with mass picketing and the greatest
militancy. But where were the
stories in the Daily on these strug-
giles? There we're none. Where were
the Daily newsboys spreading the
paper of the working class amongst
these fighting proletarians? In
Union Square, no doubt,
These workers may be seen stand
ing and walking about the front and
rear of these buildings each morning,
hundreds of them. And what do they
read, these proletarians? They read
the Daily Mirror, the Daily News and
the song sheets! S it their fault?
No.
The Daily must print the entire
story Of each of these struggles. II
should print the names of all the
workers so as to encourage them
and show them that they are not
alone in their attempt to storm the

Editors Note.-The members In
the local union must organize them

demand the reinstatement of all ex-
PEELED and suspended members, who
were thrown out of the organization
for non-payment of dues or for

Dear Comrade Editor: nov.
In the Daily of Aug. 8 there was
good expose about printing the Blue
Eagle" with what the Daily called
"scab" labor. The article was good,
especially showing that abe A. F. of
L. leadership supports the +, MIRA
drive even though the BLUE Eagle"
Is printed by non-union labor.
think that it was a grave polit-
ical error on the part of the editor
to call a non-union shop scab
shop. Scab is bad word and by
calling any worker a scab you insult
him. Then how can we go and or
sanize the unorganized workers? BY
calling them scabs? No. We must go
to these workers and explain that
they should organize into a union
and that they have a right TO do
this under the MIRA. a..
The word scab must not, be usd
that way in the future, IN my opin-
ion, but must only be applied to
those who work while there is o
strike going on.
Comradely yours,

Editors Note. - The comrade Is
right In his criticism about the use
Of the phrase "scab shop" where it
gives the slightest implication that
it is the workers who are called
names just because they are unor-
ganized. He has correctly. outlined
the way to use the name "scab."

sheriff sales are stopped.
Evidently the lesson was well
learned. for within a month the
United Farmers Protective Assoc
citation members had stopped their
first sheriff sale-the famous $1.1S
sale.
Stoppage of the sale drew the
class line sharper. Bankers, store
keepers, rich farmers, church, police,
sheriff, judge, newspapers-all took
their places openly against the mi
litants who dared use mass action.
On the other hand, the small and
middle farmers who had not par
ticipated began to size up the sit
uation also. In few months, the
membership tripled until now it is
close to 1000 dues-paying men,
bers, with over Is locals. This is
in addition to 200 members of the
youth organization.
Unite with City Workers
With the opposition appearing,
the Slogan of "Unity with the City
Workers" now became more inn
portant. The slogan was put into
life by workers of the Unemployed
Councils of Allentown and Emaus
coming out in trucks to help stop
sheriff sales. The farmers replied
by sending milk for the children,
ard speakers to city demonstra-
tons. So in the struggle for i'm
mediate demands the alliance of
toilers of factory and farm came
into being, building the future re-
volutionary alliance.
At the first convention of the
United Farmers Protective Associa-
ton, held in Dublin the outstanding
achievements were the adoption of
a more advanced platform and the
passing of a resolution calling for
recognition of the Soviet Union, ,

a milk strike in the Philadelphia.

Another suggestion I have is for
the Daily to give a party for these
workers. Serving only coffee and
cookies, it should not be expensive,
and then the workers can hear their
true friends speak; they can be led

Editors Note.-We did publish in
formation on the Plymouth Card
strike, but the worker who promised
to come to report regularly did not
show up after the first story.
On the Nome Electric Corp we
can only say that it is impossible for
the Daily to cover directly every
strike that is occurring in New York
at present, and we must rely on
workers involved In the strike, or
those knowing about it, to keep us
constantly informed Of the situation
as it develops.
The suggestions on getting the
Daily Worker before these workers
are good.)

CHOPPERS UNION
BLOCKS PLAN TO
MURDER LEADERS

DADEVILLE, Ala. - The Share
Choppers Union has uncovered a plot
Of the landlords to murder Thomas
E. Gray, brother of Ralph Gray,
Negro farmer who was shot down
and killed on July II, 1881, while on
guard at a meeting of the union.
Thomas Gray is himself an active
leader in the struggles of the poor
farmers and share choppers. The
plot also involved the murder of all
leaders of the union m
Charles Harris, Negro stool pigeon
who was sent into the Share Crop
pers Union as a spy for the land
lords, went to the creek on August
5 where Gray and another man were
fishing Harris tried to start a fight
with Gray by claiming that Gray
had been around Harris house both
ering his wife. Harris then walked
a few steps away from Gray and
fired Gray was saved by jumping
behind a tree. ,r
The Share Choppers Union i'm
mediately set up committee to in
vestigate the matter. 1t was found
that for several weeks prior to the
attempt on Gray's life, Harris had
been going to town to have long
private conversations with members
of the Ku Klux Khan in Camp Hill,
1t was found that Harris is in the
pay of Mat Wilson, former police
man of Camp Hill, of Lynn Min
ners, rich landlord and Klansmarl,
and of Policeman Gabbett of Camp
Hill. According to the arrangements
made with these persons, Harris was
to receive $50 as soon as he had killed
Gray, and then go to Camp Hill,
Next, he was to kill the organizer of
the Union and then two other i'm
portant union leaders. A price OF
5000 has been placed on the heads
of the four leading members.

not make the collar in such way
that the light turnover effect can
be taken off and cleaned sepa-

dress. The Zone Who Knows" says
that pure dye silks are the most
satisfactory. We believe that
well-dyed- wool would look good,

it is advisable to shop around for
