SHOCK BRIGADE |
TO SAVE DAILY
Raise N. Y. Quota to
$4,000 by April l

NEW YORK.-The New York Dis
trict in the Daily Worker drive for
$35 900, received a $4,000 quota. The
class conscious workers of New York,
as always in the past when the
Daily Worker was in danger, arose to
the situation despite the depression
despite the wage-cuts, despite the
starvation conditions under which
they are living and contributed out
of their flesh and blood, to make
the quota Of the New York District
to save the Daily Worker.
Unfortunately, the very thing which
the Daily Worker exposes and fights,
the terrible restitution OF the
workers-prevented the workers CT
the rest of the districts from con-
tributing their quotas, thus making
for the continued existence of the
danger Of suspension facing the
Daily Worker. Especially now, when
the Daily Worker is needed more and
more to lead the struggles Of the
working class against starvation and
misery and at the present moment.
when the Communist International
has issued a call for united action
with the Socialist Party, the Con-
ference for Progressive Labor Action
and the American Federation Of
Labor, the Daily Worker, the means
Of publicising the United Front, is
all the more desperately needed.
Therefore. the City Committee Of
the Daily Worker, realizing the needs
as enumerated, volunteers to become
Shock Brigade for the rest Of the
country and voluntarily increase its
quota from $4,000 to $4,000 and
pledge to mobilize the workers Of
New York City to reach this amount
by April !.

By JAMES ALLEN

THE Roosevelt farm bill which has
just been presented to Congress
and which, its sponsors. hope, will
Stifle the farm revolt and overcome"
the crisis, cannot be considered apart
from the steps that have already
, been taken by the Wall Street brain
! trust in Washington for widespread
4 indirect wage-cuts through initiation.
J Roosevelt proposes to meet the in
creasing storm of agrarian revolt by
raising the prices of nearly all the
basic farm products to the pre-war
level. This is to be obtained by re-
ducing acreage and by a tax on the
professors, that is, the first and di-
rect wholesale purchaser of farm
commodities before they are placed
in the hands Of the various middle
men and marketing agencies, al
though today these groups are more
or less merged.
Farmer Does Not Get Tax
The tax levied on the professor,
according to the bill, is to be equal to
the difference between the price paid
the farmer for the product and the
pre-War price of that product. This
tax, contrary to the general impress
sion that has been so skillfully
created, is not to be paid back direct
to the farmer On the contrary, it is
to be used to force reduction in
farm acreage-to pay a rental to the
farmer for the land he takes out of
production. In the case of cotton
the government will utilize the OPP
portunity to get rid of the 5000 900
bales it bought as a relief measure, y
by giving an option on it to all
Mariners who will have reduced their
acreage during the coming season by
$50 per cent.

NEW YORK. The New York
Times in a dispatch from its special
staff correspondent in Alabama admits
that the success of the defense in
obtaining a change Of venue from
Jackson County seems a little like
pyrrhic victory "a victory bringing
with it new dangers in view Of the
comments made here today by Of
ficials and average citizens"
The LID. has charged that the
moving of the trial to Decatur was
the result of a careful plot between
Attorney-G General Thomas E. Knight,
Jr., of Alabama, and Judge A. E.
Hawkins of Scottsboro, who conduct
ed the original lynch-trial and to
whom the case was sent back by the
U. S. Supreme Court. The purpose
Of this plot was to create an illusion
of fairness by moving the trial from
Scottsboro. while actually increasing
the authorities chances Of lynching
the boys, legally or extra legally.

Because Mrs Tincher had asked
previously to adopt a child, she was
permitted to take Betty.
Tuesday word was received in In

continue to give the girl home

today, asking that she be allowed
to have Betty.

the hospital had named her Vir-

her; she was so pretty and so little
trouble.

The second group, including Sen
ator Wagner, John Dickinson, as
sistant secretary Of commerce
Meyer Jacobstein, former member
of congress; Harold Moulton of the
Brookings institution, and a num-
Der of business men, favored
permanent legislation, with control
vested in a board similar to that
favored by the house labor COM
mittee.
The bill in its final draft is re-
ported to follow this second line
Of thought.
1t provides that trade associations
shall agree on production quotas
and prices in each industry, and
that the board shall enforce such
agreements.
1t declares the right of labor to
organize and bargain collectively.

1t will not limit total production in
any plant, as Labor Secretary Per-
kins suggested, permitting plants to
work four six-hour shifts a day

Plants in which workers are not

According to present indications
a fight on the foreign embargo

the joint product of two different
