Only Communists Really
Put Up Fight for
TOiling Farmers
BY H. PURO

BY II. PURO
THIS drought is one Of the worst
l in the history of the country and
affects seriously something like
thirty states. The worst effect Of
the drought centers around the Ds-
kotas and Minnesota and eastern
Montana. This area constitutes the
so-cslled Grain Belt.
When one enters western Mime
sofa and South Dakota, which is
one of the richest grain lands Of the
country, it appears like a burned
desert. The livestock is starving.
From many farmers I gathered that
not only are cattle dying, but also
large numbers of children because
of the effect of the dust storms.
Many families had left everything
and moved away to save their chill
dren.
The rain that came the first week
Of June provided pastures and for
age to livestock, but it came too
late to save wheat and small grain
crops. 1t is estimated that wheat
crop will be from $4,000, 900 to 15O,-
100000 bus. under the normal do
nestle consumption. Only carry
over of 250,000,000 bus. would pre-
vent the famine, provided that the
people are able to buy this wheat
from the spectators who are asking
a dear price for it.
Roosevelt's propaganda has filled
the newspapers of the country with
demagogic propaganda about his
relief plans. What does he pro-
pose? Roosevelts relief" plan con-
tains the appropriation of $525, 000.-
900 by Congress. A part of this
money is to be used for buying cat
tie from the farmers, but their first
concern is the mortgage holders. A
large portion of the farmers cattle
is mortgaged, except in the case of
few rich farmers. The government
proposes to pay from SO to $40 for
the best cattle per head, but the
farmer whose cattle is mortgaged
receives only $6 per head over 2
years of age, IS for those from l to
years, and SO per head for those
under year of age. The rest Of the
money goes to the money lenders
So once more the New Deal
relief" program aids primarily
the bankers, insurance companies
and the money lenders, while the
rich farmers will get some benefit
On their own initiative the farm
ers were calling meetings, express
ing themselves definitely against
the prices offered by the govern
ment on cattle. They demand in
stead of $40, S45 on the best cattle
per head and that the money should
go to the farmers and not to the
mortgage holders. A delegation Of

Communist, So calls t
Workers Unite To
Fight Nazis

MILWAUKEE. Wise. June "a
Over 1000 Milwaukee Socialist and
= Communist workers gathered on
Friday evening before the Bsnn
Fret Hall to besiege q Nazi meeting
held there. With q determined and
militant spirit the workers dis
persed the meeting and for several
hours. after bsttled the police, who
wanted to clear the streets.
Over a hundred policemen we're
modified and fought side by side
with the Nazis to protect the meet
ing, but inside and outside the hall
angry workers made known their
demands with cries Of Free Thael-
mann" Down with Hitler and Fas-
cisn," etc.
The meeting was a scheduled talk
by a Chicago Nazi who was to speak
on the topic THE Idiocy of Com
munism." The meeting was opened
with the Hitler salute and the sing
ing of MY Country 'Tis of Thee"
but discordant note was struck by
large section of the audience rails
ing their clenched fists and singing
the International. The speech was
continually interrupted by demands
for the freedom of Thaelmann I'M
til general melee started when
Nazis and police tried to break up
the picketing outside the hall.
The workers outside Stormed the
hall, sweeping the police, doors,
windows, and badly frightened Nazis
before them until they reached the
inside. Inside the hall, eggs and
tomatoes were flying amidst the
shouts of Free Thaelmann," and
Down with Hitler" The speaker
and NaH banners hung thru the
hall were spattered by odoriferous
eggs, and over-ripe tomatoes.
Several riot calls had been put in
and police cars and patrol wagons
were rushed from every part Of the
city. These police about whom
Mayor Hoan at the recent Socialist
Party Convention boosted that they
are never used against workers in
Milwaukee, showed the truth OF
these statements, by sailing into the
workers clubs drawn, but the work
erS sailed right back, putting up a
stubborn fight and forcing the po-
lice to accede to the demands to
close the meeting.
The workers refused to leave the
hall until every Nazi had been
marched out in single file between
a protective gauntlet Of police
amidst the hearty boos and cat
calls of the thousands of workers.
During the fighting the police
tried to arrest many workers, but
the enraged workers pulled most OF
these out of the hands of the po-
lice. 1t was only with the greatest
difficulty that the police were able
to arrest three workers and send
them to the police station in the
patrol wagon.
Storm Police Station
The captain Of this police station
is an old time Socialist Party mem
Der, and the fight took place in his
precinct with the police under his
supervision. Not a single NaZi was
arrested by the police.

NRA, UMWA Officials
Encourage Terrorism to
Smash the Unions
BY ALBERT MALTZ

BROWNSVILLE, Pa June 25.-~
Seven hundred miners Of the United
Mine Workers Of America are on
strike at the Isabella Nine about
five miles from Brownsville. They
have been on strike for three weeks
and have completely shut down the
mine. They are striking for a solid
union mine and for the complete
exclusion Of all miners belonging
to the Independent Brotherhood Of
Miners, which is the company
union.
There is the possibility that if the
strike is not settled by next week
it will bring the entire district out
on strike. The issue Of the .. NJ.
w A. versus the Brotherhood is a
burning one in this district, with
the Brotherhood getting hold
everywhere due to company coer.
cion and terror. For several weeks
now in the mine district around
Uniontown there have been bomb
ings every two or three days Of the
homes Of U.M.W.A. miners and
clashes between members Of both
unions
The miners everywhere are aware
Of the menace Of the Brotherhood
and prepared to fight it by striks
if they can get the leadership. The
UM.W.A. International Officers ars
ignoring the situation completely.
Hynes, District President, appeared
at the Isabella mine on the second
day Of the strike, advised the men
to stick together and has not been
seen since. Miners visiting his Of
fee are told that he is too busy to
see them. The International on
GERS are doing nothing to stop the
advance Of the company unions.
This is the fourth strike in one
year on the part Of the Isabella
miners. In all previous strikes their
demands were won. The company,
controlled by the Prick interests,
tried to import deputies to smash
the 24-hour picket line and to eviet
the workers from the company
houses, since most Of the miners
live in the patch, but when the
deputies learned that they we're to
be sent to the Isabella mine they
refused to 60. Thirteen Of them
handed their badges back to the
sheriff because they remembered a.
clash with the Isabella miners three
months before in which deputies
and Brotherhood yellow dogs had
been completely routed

will deal but briefly with the
trea cherous role of the Lovestonites
and their open alliance with the I.
L. G. w. U. officials.
The Lovestonites came to the
convention with delegation of IS.
An opposition delegation OF IS could
be q tremendous factor at a con-
yention. This we have seen on a
number of other occasions. AT the
last convention the left wing had a
delegation of 7, who were the CEN
ter of the convention, bringing for
ward the class struggle program. At
the last A. F. of l.. convention the
one lone left wing delegate, Suny,
forced the machine to discuss some
of the most basic problems of the
American working class. At this
convention Schweitzer, lone del
eeate of the left wing, though not
an outstanding speaker, forced many
issues of the workers on the floor.
Renegades Cheer Green
At the opening of the convention
they marched in with song of Soil

ATTACKED GIRL
PARALYZED

WAYNEsBORO, Va, Aug. o..
Pauline Parry, 18-year-old girl
who was beaten over the head
and criminally assaulted near her
home here Sunday night, was
paralyzed in the hospital today,
doctors announced, as police ad-
mitted they were without a single
clue to the identity of the man
who attacked her.
The girl regained consciousness
last night for the first time since
she was found early Sunday
morning, but was unable to give
authorities any clues to the per.
petrator of the attack.
She was on her way home
from a carnival, she said, when
she was struck over the head
and remembers nothing more.
Police brought three men,
friends of the girl, in for ques-
tioning last night, but they could
throw no light on the case.

WIFE DECLARES
HE'SST|NCY

Theodore S. Grape, president of
the Bearings Sales Corporation,
was sued for limited divorce today
in District Supreme Court by Mrs.
Ella B. Grape on charges of fail
ure to provide adequate support
and cruelty.
Through Attorney Edmund D
Campbell, the wife charged her
husband provided her with only
$40 a week to operate their r.
room home in the 1900 block of
Forty-fourth st. N. w., and to
purchase clothing and other ne
cessities for herself and their
8-year-old son. The suit alleged
the husband has yearly income
of $4,000.
In an attempt to compel her to
leave their home, the wife averred,
her husband declined to speak to
her and sent messages to her by
a servant. She also alleged that
on one occasion her husband
struck her. He furnished her with
$40 last winter, she charged, to
purchase clothes and then at
tempted to deduct it SO at a time
from her $20-a-Week allowance.
