1t is clear that the sections with
less than so per cent of their quota
achieved will have to work very hard
to make up the remaining percent
age in the remaining weeks of the
drive. But determined effort will
achieve it.
Building Two. Strengthens
Working Glass
The building of our Order is a
necessary effort to solve the work
ers' blems. Membership of
masses of workers in the bourgeois
fraternal movement is a source of
weakness of the American working
class. 1t is high time that the mil
liant workers recognize this and
help in the building of militant
workers fraternal organization. The
bourgeoisie has long recognized it.
A recent article by John Sullivan,
legislative correspondent of the
Modern Woodmen of America, calls
the fraternal movement "a bulwork
against chaos" In the article he de-
clares that politicians may falter.
Business may go bankrupt. Euro
pean governments may change and
change again. But within the thou
sands upon thousands of lodge
rooms of the nation exists
the confidence born of mutual trust,
confidence and a spirit of brother
hood" He points out how the ritual
ism of the bourgeois fraternal
movement contributes to the main
tenance of religion as source of
submission even to the most miser-
able conditions of starvation. OF
course, he doesn't put it into such
blunt words. But he comes to the
conclusion that if among other
t hings the bourgeois fraternal
movement would disappear, there
would be no force left to keep the
masses from efforts to solve their
own problems. He calls it keep
ing the masses back from chaos"
Although Mr.. Sullivan overesti-
mates the continuous ability of the
bourgeoiSie to use the fraternal
movement for keeping the workers
back from fighting against condi-
tions of starvation, yet he is fully
justified in pointing to the achieve
ments of the bourgeois fraternal
movement in this direction. He is
fully justified in pointing out that
20 to Is million people in the fra
ternal movement under the leader
ship of capitalist politicians is a
factor strengthening the existing
system.
Build the International Workers
Order
AS against this service by the
bougreois fraternal movement to
bourgeois society workers frater-
nal movement must be built for
service to the working class and its
interests. The international Work
ers Order has raised the banner of
a working class fraternal movement.
1t has succeeded in rallying around
this banner to this date nearly $4,000
members. 1t needs very little effort
of these $4,000 members and of the
militant section of the working class
in general to double this figure. All
that is needed is the sufficient I'M
derstanding of the value of the Or
ganization for the working class.
Forward to $4,000 members!

Organization Brings
Quick Results in L. A.
BY a Worker Corresnondent

LOS ANGELES.-A worker who
has been wandering around looking
for Roosevelt's prosperity" and al
most starved to death doing so, met
some members of Relief Workers
Protective Union No. 1 and told
them his story.
1t was Sunday and nothing could
be done. This worker and his fam
lily had been to the county and the
Travellers Aid and had been dis
illusioned and turned away.
On Monday, however, the R. w.
P. U. organized small committee
and took the case to the S. E. r. A..
office at about II in the morning.
BY two o'clock they had home
and by four o'clock they had a
grocery order check and rent COM
ing in day or so.

Workers Pay
For POstum
Pension Plan
By a Worker CORRESPONDENT

BATTLE CREEK, Mich. - The
General Food Corporation, of which
the Postum Company is a branch,
has adopted a plan for old age
pension.
This old age pension will be paid
for by the workers through such
a premium that will force the work
ers to an even lower standard of
living than they now have.
The main issue is how it was
submitted to the workers, The en-
ployes did not get to know any
thing about it until Nov. 16, at
which time they we're presented
with pamphlets which described
this plan. An official called the
employees to a sort Of shop meeting
and told them that they will have
to sign, how it was not compulsory
and this plan was on now for three
months. The first check-off was
made on Nov. l, but the company
will pay for September, october,
November and will in the future
match each employees contribution
for the general fund.
The employees were very disguised
and about 80 per cent were against
the plan. Next day foreman
came around and told each worker.
Here is the application for old
age pension, it is not compulsory
but you will have to sign it."
The workers have endorsed the
plan, not because they are willing,
but because they are not organized.
Now the workers are talking of or
ganization, not under the treacher-
Gus leadership of the A. F. of l..
officials, but under the leadership
of militant rank and file workers.
Some of them have said that in
the next election they will vote the
hammer and sickle.

Bv a Worker COrrespOndent

LOUISVILLE, KY - There are
several of us workers employed IN
the Brown and Williamson Tobacco
Co. that get one Of your good papers
from time to time and enjoy read
ing it very much. We would sub
scribe to it but our wages are so
low that after We get through pay
ing for our living and the bosses
deduct our dues to the A. F. OF L.,
we haven't q dime left.
What we want to tell all the
workers that read your paper is
the following: This company'S prod
ucts carry the label Of the A. F. OF
L., Tobacco Workers Union. NO
worker should be fooled by that.
We will try to explain why they
have the label on their products,
After the MIRA. was passed last
year. there were several depart
ments in the plant that had un-
organized strikes against weekly
wage scales of IS per week. The
bosses feared this action and called
the well known labor faker and
strikebreaker, Peter j. Campbell,
Secretary of the State Federation
of Labor, to organize the workers
into a union that would not strike.
The company posted notices on
all their bulletin boards telling the
workers to be at the labor temple
at a certain date and time to line
up into the union. Most Oh them
were herded into the union at that
time. Those that did not join were
forced to later on, under the threat
of being discharged if they did not.
While mentioning Peter Camp
bell, we will remind you that he
was one of the first men in the
state to call for the Tin Soldiers
against the striking miners of Har-
Ian County, KY in 1881. Also, in
1892 as Secretary of the State Fed
Grafton of Labor, he broke the strike
of the Amalgamated Clothing Work
ers at the Sherman plant in this
city by furnishing scabs that were
members of the United Garment
Workers.
We want to compliment you and
your good paper for its correct
analysis of the trend towards fas-
cisn in the United States, and want

"DIRTH Rate Increase Wanted in
DGermany" That is the headline
on news story before me. The
Nazis want more cheap labor for
their factories. They want cannon
fodder for their war plans. So they
have encouraged mass marriage.
They have told the young man and
woman that it is their duty to marry
and have children. Their leading
philosophers have made statements
that are actual provocations to rap
ing of women. But yet, according
to DR.. Burgdoerfer, director of the
Reich Statistical Office, last years
birth rate was SO per cent below
what is needed to maintain the
German population at its present
size. DR.. Bergdoerfer says the birth
rate must rise by at least As per
cent throughout the Reich, and by
no less than 10 per cent in the big
cities.
AND in the Soviet Union, the
"A birth rate is higher than in
any country in the world. In the
Soviet Union birth control infor-
nation is available to anyone who
wants it. And yet there are more
children being born there every
year than in any other country in
the world. The Soviet men and
women know a security and stabi-
lily known nowhere else. They
are developing their industry. The
Soviet Union promises security and
happiness for all of its citizens
These are valid reasons for a
higher birth rate.

The ISLANDER OF THE KEPT
PRESS
Lingshire, Mont.

Dear Cofnrade EdltOr.
1 feel that there is an urgent
need in our paper of a thorough
explanation of every article appear
ing in the capitalist press that
tends TO cast a shadow over the
Soviet government. I probably feel
this stronger than most of COM
rades because I am surrounded by
the supporters of Roosevelt and
sympathizers of Fascisrn.
Very few workers read class lit
eratHe here, but they all listen to
an argument, and we must be sup
piled with the answers to the SLAM
der, through the Daily Worker.
Fascisnl, they say, Furnishes its
subjects for not obeying its DEGREES
and the Soviet government does the
same. 1t is plain enough for me to
see the difference, but the person
who is not class conscious sees no
difference.
Enclosed is two dollars, one to go
to Del's credit, and one TO the In
ternational Labor Defense, to be
used for the Scottsboro defense.

Uses Police to Suppress Rank and File in Brown
and Williamson Tobacco Workers Local

you to publish this as we believe
that this state is blazing the trail
by having uniformed policemen at
tend union meetings.
Some time ago, at the union meet
ing of the Brown and Williamson
Tobacco Workers Local, some mil
liant workers tried several times to
get a motion by the chair, demand
ing an increase in wages. If the
president likes your motion it is in
order, if he doesn't it is out OF
order. This was the case this time.
After several attempts by a worker
to get the motion before the house,
the president of the local had him
arrested on charges Of disorderly
conduct. Since that time there has
been a uniformed policeman at
every meeting Of this local, How is
that for Hitlerism?
Wait, you haven't heard the
secret yet The Honorable Pre5i-
dent of this A. F. Of L. local, Mr..
Scalf. is chief of the company's
police force. The main duty Of the
force is to search the workers as
they go home after the days work
Is done.
They especially do good job Of
shaking down the girls. Sometimes,
they take them back into the plant,
take all their clothes off them, to be
sure they have no cigarettes or
tobacco in their bloomer legs and
stockings. It looks now as if this
same stool pigeon will be the
next president of the Central Labor
body in Louisville. How is this for
fascism in America? We would like
to hear from any one that has this
beat. We would like to contact
some one that can advise us where
we can find a real union that to-
bacco workers can join.

Editors note: There is no other
union in the field. What these

INSURANCE MAN FROM PORTLAND
 ON! CHARLOTTE
F. ]. Swivel Declares Long
 shore Strike Strangled Portland Trade


 T. J. Swivel, of Portland, Ore gon, and Mrs. Alice Swivel and Mrs. Ellen Sherlock of San Diego, Cal, are round-trippers on the Princess Charlotte.
 MT. Swivel IS connected with the Travellers Insurance Company in Portland, with offices opposite the United States National Bank. He said that business had been fairly good in Portland this spring, al- though it went by spurts, but stat ed that the longshore strike has almost killed commercial activity in that city.
 From his office windows, he can look across at the bank, one of the largest in Portland, and he de- clared that where two policemen were kept all the time before the strike started to keep cars from double parking, it was possible now to obtain parking space any time.
 Mrs. Swivel and Mrs. Sherlock drove to Portland from San Diego, going by way of Lake Tahoe, and have experienced most enjoyable trip, especially as this is their first to Alaska. MT Swivel made one previous visit north in 1906, when instead of getting rich, he lost his stake in Fairbanks, and departed poorer but wiser.
 The party plans to make the West Taku Arm side trip from Carcross.
