Board Is Only Pay
for Lumber Workers
BY a Worker Correspondent

PORTLAND, Mel would like to
have told in the Daily Worker the
horrible conditions which the pulp
wood workers have to endure in
the woods of Maine. First they
ship them from Boston and Port
land, from the employment shops,
when they break the camp there,
and are about SIS in debt to the
employment agency. They go 70
work for the landlord. but they
only earn enough to pay the en-
ployment agency. These are dirty
conditions under which they are
working, two men in a filthy YER
mined bed, q dirty smell about the
bunkhouse, dirty clothes hung in
the clubhouse, men with diseases
sleeping with healthy men. and the
healthy men get the disease. A
Camp that is terrible is Dumas
camp.
The first jobber works the new
hired men so hard that he gets
tired of it, and he wants to change
his place of work Then the time
keeper sends him to another job,
and the timekeeper sends for his
check, and they forge his name and
get the money themselves. These
iobbsrs work to get pulp wood for
the Continental Paper and Bag &C..
go East And St. New York City.
The jcbbers get the work done by
only boarding the men.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - We
small farmers in this part of Mis-
souri, have sent a delegation to
Governor Parks Office, presenting
our demands for relief, production
loans, and the adoption of the
Farmers Emergency Relief Bill and
Workers Unemployment Insurance
Bill. The list Of our demands fol-
lows:
Governor Guy B, Park
State Capitol,
jefferson City, Mo,
Dear Sir:
We, delegation of farmers, urge
immediate relief for the drought
stricken and poor farmers of Mis-
souri,, from the state authorities.
Numerous examples of existing
deplorable conditions on our farms
can be given. We've got practically
no crops to sell this year and very
little feed for our cattle
LAS a result, our stock is starv-
ing and taken away from us, and
our families have little to eat and
wear. Mortgage, tax and interest
payments constitute a big burden.
In many farm homes there is no
money at all for the smallest neces-
sites.
I'VE are in this condition through
no fault of our own.
THE A.A.A. does not relieve the
situation for us. 1t is our convic-
ton that the A.A.A. aids mainly
the big farmers and the mortgage
holders.

HECLA, S. D-This is a small
grain community, and yet on &C
count of the drought not one
threshing machine operated near
this town as far as I know. So you
see the crops were a total failure.
Cornfields produced more or less
stalks, but extremely few any ears
of corn. The only other fodder here
this year is Russian thistle, which
grows quite luxuriantly during
drought. 1t is poor feed. Baled
wheat straw, also a very poor feed,
is being donated by farmers in the
Red River Valley, where there was
a good crop. But the recipients
must pay for baling and shipping,
which brings it up to five or six
dollars per ton, an outrageous
price.
The other great problem here
this winter will be fuel. AS this is
a practically treeless region all fuel
must be shipped in from distant
East or West. Decent coal costs ten

Sale Of Cotton

By a Sharecropper Correspondent
CAMP HILL, Ala want to tell
you how the big bosses treat the
poor people, the farmers here in
Camp Hill, Ala. There was a poor
farmer who carried a bale of cotton
to Camp Hill gin, to Mr.. Pears
Smiths warehouse, and he asked
Mr.. Smith for fertilizer. Mr..
Smith didn't want the farmer to sell
his bale of cotton to anyone else,
and told him he would beat hell out
of him because he didn't sell it to
him The farmer owes for one ton
Of fertilizer to Mr.. Smith, and when
the farmer sold his cotton, he Of
fered Mr. Smith his pay. and he
wanted it all. I mean that all the
poor man got for his cotton was
nothing. That is the way these
bosses are acting here, and when
some of the Negroes sell their cot
ton, the bosses take it from the
dealer.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1934-10-11

groes don't know what it means
to haul up bail of his cotton.
After the Negro picks the cotton in
the fields he never sees it again,
he doesn't know where it is going
or when it is sold, doesn't know
anything about it after the white
bosses wagons take it away every
evening, in his field. He doesn't
get any of the money. When the
bosses get ready they call them to
town and give them all from five
to six and ten dollars each.
When the corn is gathered he
takes all of the farmers corn haul
to his barn. If Negro farmer
wants some corn to make some
bread he tells them just how much
to take and no more, of his own
corn.
There are workers who are work
ing for Mr.. Luther Johnson. he
pays them SO a month out Of which
they must feed their family. But
instead of paying them the So he
only pays them So or 81 a month
and promises to pay them the rest
later. When they ask him for the
rest Of the money that he owes
them for six or seven months, he
raises big fuss, runs them off,
and never pays them anything.
Another boss, Mr.. Allen Cacks,
hires hundreds on his farm and
never pays them anything at all.
He makes them haul two loads of
wood to Opelika, each week. He
does his hiring in Auburn. Ala, and
meets these workers with the wood
there. He collects $3.50 for the two
loads Of wood and takes half of it
| TO give it to them for their work.
Now that is done every week. When
the crops are gathered it all goes
to the boss and the workers don't
get dime for an ear of corn for
their work. They have to hire
themselves out during the winter
to haul wood and the poor Negroes
are not allowed to say anything to
him about the crop which he made.
Now Communist Party Club is
asking for Negro rights in our
county.
We are building the Party Club.
We are the laboring Negro farm
ers, asking for our rights and our
farming products.
We have contract to rent the
government so much land. for s445
per acre and they only paid us S31l
per acre and we have to pay the
landlord from five to six hundred
pounds of cotton for the rent of
a one horse farm.
