s4,7fe New York.

Dear Comrades
have been getting relief from
the city relief bureau since about o
year. I noticed that they won't pay
rent, electricity or gas, since three
months ago. Besides that, they would
skip once in a while with my food
ticket, making me go to the bureau
several times.
Imagine my surprise 10 see the
investigator coming to me all smiles
with 50 extra. for food, plus nice
rent check and g promise Of jobi
All that without me asking for any
increase for my ticket or any rent
because I knew that 1t was useless.
Well, accepted it alright, but I
knew there was going to be some
string attached to it. And so 1t was,
because after chatting very amicabiy
with me, she reminded me to vote
for O'Brien.
I have voted today, alright, not
for the Party that insults me by
trying to buy my vote for 50 and a
rent check, but the revolutionary
Party that will destroy the parasites
and make new world. voted for
the Communist Party and made the
resolution to send to the Daily
Worker at least 81 every week!

A NECESSARY CORRECTION

A NECESSARY CORRECTION
In the Party Life Column Of Con
day. Nov. 9th, the following state
ment appears, under the sub-heading
"Platonic Sympathy Not Needed"
s'Eyery Party sympathizer, who
supports the Communist movement
politically, must realize the neceS-
sity OF securing for the Party de-
pendable and steady channels of
income. RIatonic sympathy in the
class struggle on the part of those
who CE3h themselves lefts, who are
guided by our Party, and take in
terest in its struggles is not needed"
This statement is not only incor-
rect and misleading, but it will lead
to distortions of the line Of the Party
IN regard to the masses Of workers
and farmers who support its program.
Is the worker who is guided by
our Party" vino takes an interest
IN its struggles who, following our
guidance participates in struggles, on
the picket line, in demonstrations,
etc, only g "@platonic sympathizer?"
Does the Party need only those who
can give it money? Are the poor
farmer, the unemployed worker, the
Negro are-cropper-all those who
call themselves let's, and who are
guided by our Party" but who have
no money to give-are these SYM
pathizers not needed by our Party?
It is only necessary to ask this ques-
fion to see how incorrect It l.,
II is true the Party needs lLV..Dy
TO carry on its mass struggles. This
will only come when it has large
masses supporting its program not
only in the carrying on of struggles,
but with financial support. But the
ability to give money is not the test
which the Communist Party applies.
Loyalty to the working class in its
fight against its class enemies, loyalty

ST. LOUIS, Mo.-A brand new
bunch of rookie cops were hired in
the city today at the sum of $40 a
month. The older cops, being q
dumb bunch, the Chief and Mayor
raised their hours from 8 and to II,
and the cops were donating 10 per
cent, by force, to the city charity
rackets. The cops are now seeing
that they are getting 1t on the chin
the same as the workers that were
striking against starvation.
These cops did not think that the
city racketeers would cut their wages
when they were beating and arrest
ing the needle workers and food
workers.
Now, If the cops strike against this
deal, they get the gate and lose their
pensions.

OGDEN, Utah.-While in many in

that the growers are heavy exploiters,
this is not generally true in the fruit

DAILIES FOR HOMELESS YOUTH

ST. LOUIS, Mott is seldom you
see q worker over 40 years old on the
road. Thousands of young workers are
carrying blankets and other clothes
done I'D i'll gunnys acks. 1t looks like
the young workers take charge of the
jungles. Most OF the look beaten, with
gaunt faces, starved and anemic. Some
are sick. There is no shelter here in
st. Louis for these children.
I leave a few Dailies in the Jeffer-
son st. "Jungles," and most Of the
unemployed are starved for revolu-
tionary literature.

Workers School Doubles
Quota in Daily" Drive


in the Daily Worker $4,000 Drive,
the Workers School here has already
more than doubled its quota.
Originally asked. to raise $3.50, the
students voluntarily boosted this
amount by $50. Within q month
after starting the drive officially, the
Workers School collected and turned
in $615. The students. also secured
10 new yearly subscriptions to the
DAILY" The school, expects to raise
still more before the. drive is con-
Guided.
Plan of Work
Each class elected. a Daily Worker
delegate, who reported after each
meeting of the class on the progress
of collections. These delegates, in
turn, made up small central Daily
Worker committee of the school.
. Six prizes of plaques of Djerzhin-
sky, made by Adolph Wolff, John
Reed Club sculptor, are offered to the
six students doing the best work in
the drive. These plaques are fac
SMILES of the original plaque carried
to the Soviet UnioLbx delegation
of workers to the Djerzhinsky plant.
Winners of these pfaques will be an
nounced shortly. So far, the class in
Principles of Communism, SIS, taught
by Steve Kingston, leads the other
classes with a total Of $50.
The entire student. body, realizing
the need of the Daily Worker and its
Importance to the workers, united to
put the school over the top in the
drive. Se.g1.
This shows, comrades, what can be
done if the drive is properly organ-
lied. What the workers School of
New York did every working-class
organization can also achieve.

Editors Reply: The colossal rob-
berry Of the landlords and bankers
which the above letter shows is
undoubtedly true. And it gives only
a slight idea of what the working
class could accomplish If 1t over
threw the power Of the capitalist
class. However, the writer of the
above letter is wrong when he
thinks that the mere doing away
with rent and bank payments will
solve the fundamental economic
problem of the worker. The funda-
mental economic problem for the
worker is the abolition of wage slay-
cry and exploitation. 1t is out of
wage slavery and exploitation that
all other capitalist robbery comes.
This capitalist exploitation can only
be destroyed by the revolutionary
overthrow of capitalism and the
establishment of the Proletarian
Dictatorship. 1t is the Communist
Party which leads the working class
and all the oppressed sections of the
population in this fight against
capitalist exploitation.

assigned to sleep at comrades house
where a unit meeting was being held
with quite a large attendance. From
the various reports of activities of the
different comrades present, could
gather that, according to the Open
Letter, this particular Unit 7 func-
toned well.
Having he2-L hat I cane $ a
delegate from the Conference, they
asked me to give them little report
on it. I told them of the most i'm
portant achievement of this Confer
ence, in my opinion, the spirit OF
unity between the farmers and the
city workers. I also emphasized how
vital it was to do organizational work
among the farmers in their vicinity.
''As the best method of first ap-
proach I advised the distribution Of
the National Farmers Weekly, In
mejiate-y the comrades decided to
take so copies which we happened to
have with lis. In witty of many COM

volunteered to pay for all Of the

There was mobilization Of several

thought they were to work in film

Miss McCormic said
II didn't think anything of the army
business until 1 received a letter from

drillnaster. He told me our army was
going to be reviewed. 1t indicated that

that the troops were in shape, should
review them.
"Sergt. Allen said I was going to be

Too Fantastic to Believe.
A similar plea was received at the
home of Miss Murray. Said Miss Muir
ray:
Yes, they wanted to male me
colonel, too, if l would just come up and
inspect the troops. What troops?"
Well, in Miss McCormic's own words,
it was all just too fantastic to believe.
and evidently the army was organized
