Farmers Lose
Stock Through
Feed Shortage
BY a Farmer Correspondent

GREAT FALLS, Mont. = Saw
5ring Of milk wa gems this morning.
They wers old auto trucks pulled
by mules and horses. This is the
coming style for Montana-the lack
of market for milk and the lack OF
feed for stock. The milk COWS OF
the ranches are being dried up.
One ranch had only one load OF
combined straw for the winter. There
are COWS, pigs, and turkeys, all run
ming the country over, trying to get
enough to eat. The family needed
more groceries, but the Welfare
would not give any as long as they
had cows. This boy needed medicine,
s. worth each week. The tuning in
on the morning church service was
thsir only attempt to solve their
problem.
To-day there is much need of rank
and file farm organizations that
save the farmer from the wolves of
depression, the sheriff, the landlord,
The BANK, the mo- tgage- holder.
The dignity OF the old-line organ
iaatia:3 may be the handicap.

results p?

He did. Our plan is to form .

group and intensity on the Daily
Worker. We are going to do OF
damndest to fulfill the plan Z
Eeiven to us by the section. How
ever, read the work we proposed
to do in our own plan. Did the
Fdistrict leadership give any consid-
enation to the proposed task? None
whatsoever. Do they know more
about the unit than its buro?
Hardly. Gould Carlson even tell
where the unit is heated or who is
in it? Not much. Does he know
THAT the majority of the members
Eare well over 40 years of age?
The YCL is an important task for
any Unit. Most of US do not know
how to get in with the young
folks, bue we will do our best and
our best will establish a branch.
Perhaps Carlson is right. But
what happened to the Unit Buro?
ghe Unit Buro who is trying to
activize the membership. Who
dragged ideas out of its members?
Who at last developed enthusiasm
for plan of work? The Unit Buro
who established confidence in the
membership. The Buro feels a bit
defeated. Was it good for the
membership? Well, our attendance
has fallen off. You see, we had
started to work on our plan. We
were getting interested in a pro-
gram. In other words we were be.
coming conscious of our role in
our territory. We are still con-
fused from the belttling we re-
ceived from Carlson. I ana trying
Enot to overestimate this. I am

Florida Terror
Fights Workers
(By a Farmer Correspondent


OVIEDO, Fla.-I received your
letter and sure would like to send
you a little donation to help out
the DAILY" but there are only three
comrades here and we are practically
isolated on account Of finance.
I have worked hard to get dele
gates to the Farmers Second Ma
tional Conference with little success.
There was a newly formed organ
ization which sprung up in the west
ern part of Orange County, which
had no national affiliation. There
were about TOO workers signed up to
form the organization.
Leader eBaten Up
These workers consist of Gamers,
fruit pickers, packers and farm
workers. The leader was kidnapped,
slugged in the head, hauled to the
wood, and beaten up.
The comrades and decided to
hold a protest meeting in that Sec
ton. The local paper here, The Or
lando Morning Sentinel, completely
whitewashed the mob. kilograms
were sent to the Department of JUS
tice, Washington, D. c., calling for
an investigation. But there has been
no Investigation, only from the
county, sheriff, Harry Hand, who
claims he can handle the situation
without outside help.
l certainly enjoy Comrade Brow
ders articles and wish I could help

Chicago Speeds Up Drive;
Pioneers Enter Into Race

CHICAGO, Ill, Nov. ! (By Air
MaiD .-Springip into action against
the Whalen- EasIey plot to suppress
our Daily Worker, We raised $125 as
part of our quota in the $4,000 Drive
which we are speeding to our fighting
paper.
At a special conference of all Party
Sections in this District, held yester-
day, the following sections pledged to
fulfill their quotas by Nov. 7:
Section l, $40; Section 2, $40; Sec
ton 3, balance Of $40; Section 4, $50;
Section 7. so; Section s, $50; Section
10, $40; Section II, $40; Section IL,
$50; Calumet, $50; Springfield, quota
of $33; Mining Field, $40; st. Louis,
$40; Rock Island, $40; Rockford, $50;
Waukegan, its quota Of $23; Terre
Haute, $40; Indianapolis, IS.
Section 5, Chicago, pledged not only
to fulfill it's quota but raised it to
$500. Section 8 pledged to raise 81
for e9ah member, $3.50 in all, by the
end of November,
Section 6 was not present at the
conference
Action is also planned in Chicago
to increase the circulation of the
Daily Worker. Mass organizations,
trade unions and all workers are
asked to help Chicago raise funds for

course, makes Gray's coolie wage look
like the best bet to the harassed
worker, who is trying to get a win
ter's stake. Twenty-Five cents per
hour is the top wage in the car-lot
packing houses-lettuce and potatoes
and this work is spasmodic and
part time on account of the low price
to growers and other factors. Most
of these workers will be on relief
before the winter is well started.
Over 900 Jobless Expected
The coop organization of Caldwell,
our county seat, put out a dodger in
August stating that there were then
245 families destitute in that town,
and one of the business men there
estimated that as soon as this
seasonal employment was over there
would be 400 more families in the
same condition. There are about $50
families in the town.
No survey has peen made in
Nanpa, but the same conditions pre-
vail here, and the local subscription
committee of the farewell" board,
composed of one member of each of
the civic" clubs, such as Lions, Ro-
tarians, etc, and the churches, are
asking the employed to contribute
2 per cent of their salaries to help
care for their '1ess fortunate" BROTH
ers. And all the authorities here are
warning that there will not be as
much federal money available as last
year. Which doesn't square at all
with all the ballyhoo emanating from
Hopkins and Roosevelt.

which would be low some years, but
the crop is small and worny this
year. and &. pickerS are required to
throw out .WoITny apples, which DO
not count in the quota, and besides
must leave the stem on the apples
retained. In other words, pickers are
also acting as sorters for the one

All other growers are paying ~

SO hard up that they are compelled

Old Woman Of Is
Out on the Road
(By a Farmer Correspondent

ROUNDUP, Mont.-On Oct. Is,
1888, about 1890 Sunday morning,
it was dripping a few drops of snow,
and windy the whole day long. This
conrade that stays here on the same
farm that l do was working outdoors.
At he glanced on the road he saw
an old woman walking and carrying
a suitcase and handbag. He came
in the house and said to me, Rosie,
will you call that woman in and
ask her where she is from and
where she was headed for" She came
from Red Lodge, about t20 miles
away and was headed for Round Up,
which was about II miles to town.
So we took her in and gave her
some warm lunch and coffee
Then we helped her catch ride
to town. She said she was on the
road since Oct 9th
She is not the only one, imagine
There are many more on the path,

They walk from one shop TO an
other looking for jobs and to no avail.
They are beginning to think for them
selves Il they we're readers Of the
Daily Worker they would see the only
way cut, but so many never saw q
Daily Worker. Now, at election time,
when political demagogues fling rev
olutionary phrases, many are again
being fooled. 7
SEEING this happen daily in our
ueighborhood, our unit decided to
make more Daily Worker readers.
we started out with 20 papers and
added 10 each week until now We
are selling 10 copies in our own
neighborhood. The discount we make
on the paper will be mailed in to
the Daily Worker fund.
Three weeks ago We started buy
ing two-cent pamphlets to sell with
our Daily Workers and now VIC sell
about 20 copies weekly OF What Is
the New Deal Your Dollar Under
Roosevelt" who Fights for a Free
Cuba" Germany Today" and others,
We have a branch of The Small
Home and Land Owners Federation
which meets in our neighborhood ard
We have worked streets with the
Daily Worker where there are many
members. Nov, since we have them
acquainted with the paper, they look
forward to the next copy.
We can openly sell the paper in the
Home Owners meetings, together with
literature,
I think if other units would do this,
start out with a few papers and in
crease it each week, they would SC
how quick they will be able to work
up regular route-. This viii not only
help the Daily Worker, but Will IL
crease membership in the Party as
il makes lass conscious workers.

by the unit, but the resolution lays
down the tasks Of providing COM
rade5" for concentration work to
help other units, involving en-
ployed members iii shops OF con-
centration work to help other units,
involving employed members in
shops of concentration i'll union
work, recruiting especially from
workers who are known to be en-
ployed in shops of concen-
tration.. The section on unem-
ployed work tackles the inner sit
uation of the unemployed council
quite correctly, but fails to empha-
size the necessity Of developing
struggles of the unemployed for
relief and unemployed insurance.
These daily activities and mass ac-
tons, planned by the unit, will help
to change the bad inner situation
in the council. The resolution APP
proaches the problem of raising the
political level Of the membership,
recruiting, Daily Worker, litera-
ture distribution, finances and work
in the Small Home Owners Or
ganization, quite correctly and sets
the task for each problem.
We quote below a section of q
letter from the Agitprop Director
of this unit. We feel that the
comrade is to a great extent justi-
fled in his criticism of the atti-
tude of the district representative.
However, before we make any COM
ment on his letter, we would like
to have an explanation from the
District Representative for this
column. In case this explanation
is not sent in within a week, we
will state our opinion, on the ba-
sis of the letter of the Unit Buro.

cussions on the Open letter and

started on plan. However, Com
