half century of incessant activity,
to look into the face of Mother
Bloor is to see the radiance of an
unquenchable vitality which is the
symbol of the vitality of the
symbol of whom she is flesh and
blood.
Stain has spoken of Bolsheviks
as made of special mold sons
of the working class, sons of pow
erty and struggle, sons of incredi-
Bile deprivation AMI heroic effort. "
Mother Bloor is like that. There
is not corner of this vast Amer
lea that she does not know, where
she has not lived and fought.
The degenerate writer's of the
bourgeoisie like to depict revolu-
tionaries as twisted, thwarted,
peculiar people with some fixed
maniacal ideas.
But Mother" is as wholesome,
as earthy-rich, as vital as the in
exhaustable life of the masses
from whom she draws her
children, of whom six are alive.
She is intensely proud of them, for
they too are part of the revolution.
But, really, she has thousands
of children, for to her the young
fighters Of the proletariat all over
the country are to her "my boys"
That is how she always talks Of
them. And it is impossible to de-
scribe how warm around the heart
it makes you feel when you hear
her.
Born on Staten Island in 1862,
she was II when she took her place
in the fight for liberation. Since
then she has been in the front
ranks of the working class. She
was a member of the Socialist
Labor Party in the days when
Daniel De Leon was leading it. She
knew De Leon well.
When the split came and the
Socialist Party was formed, she
became a leading member of the
Socialist Party, where she met
Debs who was to become a close
friend. One Of her sons tells of
how Debs used to visit the house
hold often, and of the picture upon
which Debs inscribed: ITO a true
champion of the working class"
IT WAS inevitable when the war
l revealed the rottenness of the
Socialist Party that Mother Blool
should seize the banner of Lenir
and raise it aloft. She became one

stating, according to the York
Dispatch" that they will close
down rather than discriminate
against any workman by adopting
the closed shop principle Of oper-
alton"
A total of 1900 workers were
formerly employed in the cigar
shops of York County. This num-
Der was cut by 5000 by the de-
preston, with complete lockout now
threatening all others. Wages are
now as low as IS a week. The
manufacturers, despite the hypo-
critical statement of the york
Dispatch that "the majority are
of the opinion that they would like
to see the plants close down be-
cause of the hardships imposed
upon the homes" have been paying
the workers starvation wages.
The cigar workers are organized
extensively, with the largest union
in the country, No. 242, in York
County. Union leaders, denied a
conference with the York County
Cigar Manufacturers Association it
self, are now demanding a meeting
of representatives of the union
and the bosses, to discuss a pro-
posed schedule of prices.

ant farmers and sharecroppers in
the south, is an attempt to further
enslave the farming masses, partic-
ularly the Negroes.
How the AAA Works Out.
In big counties where the Ne
groes constitute the overwhelming
majority of the population, the
most persistent efforts are made to
establish the subsistence farm pro-
gram. This is supposed to give the
cvicted tenants land on which to
work and to raise foodstuffs. These
tenants are supposed to be given
live stock, some food and some
seed. But the head OF the share
choppers family is forced to sign
contract for whatever the landlord
demands or wants, and for the
amount of wages that the landlord
sees fit to pay. He must agree in
this contract to sell all foodstuffS,
all of his surplus crop, at q pre-
determined price to the landlord.
Then the landlord fixes the lowest
possible price, even before the CROP
per begins working on the land
yes, even before he knows what
land, or how much OF it, he is to
work on. AS a result the cropper
must raise an enormous crop, sell
it to the landlord at miserably
low price, and the landlord re-sells
1t at the prevailing high prices to
city workers.
Steers Instead of Mules.
When the tenant farmer is given
a parcel of land to work on, he gets
a steer instead of a mule to work
with in blowing and other farm
work. The reason for this is obvi-
ouS A landlord must spend $40
month to maintain mule, whereas
only s1.30 a month is needed to
maintain a steer, which is hun
dred times more difficult, more
back breaking, to work with.
In past years farmers used to pay
81 a bale for ginning cotton, which
included bagging and ties. Now
they are forced to pay S525 per
bale, plus bagging and ties-which
generally adds up to IS per bale.
5000 Now in Sharecroppers Union
! ALL these struggles have done
N much to increase and strengthen
the Sharecroppers Union, which to-
day has membership OF somewhat
wore than 5000 OF this total,
app oximataly $500 to 5000 were
recruited IRON July 10, 1888 up to
Arril, 1854. Since then there has
been continuous increase of mem
bars, particularly under the repeated
attacks of the New Deal and the
A.A.A. The sharecroppers are rally
ing under the leadership of the
union to prepare for coming con-
flicts. And the fact that the union
is preparing for these struggles has
not escaped the notice either of the
landlords or the government.
How have these many struggles
affected the white workers Of the
South? This is a question which
Conrade Murphy eacwered in
cpca,ling of the l-bor defense act.,v-
tiles OF the union.
Winning over While Toilers
Recently" he said with the
support of the International Labor
Defense. the Sharecroppers Union
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1934-07-07

carried on a campaign for the re-
lease OF the IL workers jailed in the
Chambers County plantation boy
colt last December. A complete VIC
tory was won, and ten OF the II
were released. The eleventh had
died in jail, as a result of prison
conditions, rotten food, etc. 1t is
extremely significant that they we're
let out without working out $500
more of time. 1t testities to the
vigor and strength of our campaign
and our union and to the fact that
there is a growing sympathy on the
part Of white farmers to the union,
such as has never before been seen
in the south.
THE white farmers are beginning
to see that the Sharecroppers Union
is fighting for their interests, and
not, as the landlords have told them,
against them. In Talapoosa County
recently, when white worker was
arrested on concocted charge of
arson, the Sharecroppers Union
started a campaign Tor his defense
which was powerful enough to force
his release without charges.
Bosses Fear Sympathy of Whites
The fear of the landlords at this
growing sympathy of the white
farmers to the union was mani
tested in a recent killing of white
farmer in Talapoosa Couty. This
farmer was a sympathizer of the
union, man who had on a num-
Der of occasions voiced the senti-
NETS of the Negro choppers for bet
ter working conditions and equal
rights. His murder followed reign
of terror released against the Negro
troopers by the K. K. K. landlords
and the high sheriff, under the di-
rection OF local federal agents, in
the attempt to round up white or
gaaizer of the union. This terro~
developed after their failure to snooA
him from ambush after they ha6
hid in bushes all night awaiting the
chance to kill him. But white
farmer, sympathetic to the Negro
troopers, informed the union, and
the white organizer was warned in
time and saved. This so enraged the
sheriff and the landlords that they
Immediately instituted a campaign
of terror, searching the homes of
Negroes, tearing many down, burst
ing secret lockers, searching for the
white organizer and for working
class literature. The Negroes. led by
the Shareccoppers Union, imred;-
ately protested these actions, send
ing resolution to the sheriff in
which they challenged his and the
landlords right to flagrantly violate
the privacy Of their homes, to search
them without warrant"
In these, as well as in hundred
other small ways, many of them
unnoticed in the daily grind of
strengthening the position of the
sharecroppers in the South, the
union IS surely, ine1orably growing.
