in his diary, "the boiling water makes

Pushing on to find a place to camp,

it was necessary to walk more than half

drag for the cayuses. They are good

The u was hot, very hot, we could
find no drinking water; the road kept
ascending, hill upon hill; the horses
were groaning and getting tagged out,

Their hearts were gladdened when
about half past six o'clock they came

Mr.. Wiley records a "mishap," stating
the sight at the muzzle of his rifle "got

strapped acros the CASHIER. "This was
bad, but I made one of wood from the

SISSETON, South Dakota, June
VA great mobilization of farm
youths and women bore down
upon State Attorney Babcock
here yesterday at the hearings on
the injunction handed down against
the activities of the United Farmers
League, bearing resolution de-
manding the dismissal of the case
against the U. F. L.
Walking down the center aisle of
the court, under the leadership of
Olga Sjorgen, they presented to the
dumfounded Babcock their demand
for the end of the case.
Judge Fleeger stated that he
would accept a motion for dis
rlissal.
The case grows out of the activi-
ties of the U. F. l.. against fore
closures in this state. A severe in
junction was handed down pro-
hibiting the U F. L. from taking
the slightest action against fore
closures. The militancy of the
farmers violated the injunction and

these are the CHASTITY figures re-

ministration, issued on June ii,
and covering the period of Janu-
airy and February, 1884.
Mass hunger and starvation

so Per Cent Increase
The report covers January and
February, the latest complete Zig
ures available. On May Is, a pre-
liminary report compiled by the F.
E. r. A. for the month of April,
and embracing "a per cent of the
total urban population of the coun-
try, shows that the families on re-
lief increased by SO per cent for the

While cases on relief soar, giving
the lie to the inflated ballyhoo of
the Roosevelt administration that
prosperity is again with us, strin-

those who can establish absolute
need" In every case, any income
whatsoever, any resources" such
as insurance policies or saleable
goods, suffice as reason" for deny
ing relief. To the figures supplied

Adjustment Means

DAILY Worker Midwest Bureau
NORTH CHICAGO, Ill, June II.
Bosses in the Oaks Products Co.
here, in an effort to keep the work
ers from taking action, are promis-
ing them an adjustment" of wages
and working conditions on August l..
The workers, of course, are led to
believe that adjustment" means a
raise and improved conditions.
The Daily Worker has reliable in
formation that the bosses have dis
cussed among themselves the kind
of adjustment" they will give the
workers. 1t will be wage cut, a
worsening of conditions in the
shop.
The whole maneuver Of the COM
pany officials is designed to delay a
struggle of workers for higher wages
until the busy season is over, and
layoffs will have weakened the
fighting strength of the men.

Peak Not Reached
Before going into the figures pre-
sented by the F. E. r. A. for jan
uary and February, a quotation
from the report will illuminate
trends since the figures were col
lected. THE peak of this winters
relief" the report states, will not
be reached until April"
During February, reports from As
states and the District Of Columbia
show that $4,000 new cases were
added to the relief rolls. During
this same time, 100000 cases were
dropped.
For the country as whole, the
average monthly relief payments
dropped from 1925 in January to
S11.84 in February. In the cities,
however, where strong organiza-
tons of the unemployed exist, the
average monthly relief payments to
families increased during the same
period from S21.46 to $24.22.
Greater Relief to Organized
An indication of this difference
in spread of relief is best illustrated
in Illinois. In the cities of Chicago,
Peoria and Springfield, the monthly
average relief to families totaled
s30.91 but outside these cities the
average payments were less than
half this amount and the average
for the entire state was $22.05.
For the figures given, it must al
ways be borne in mind that c. w.
A. was still in effect and had only
just passed the peak of employment
on G. w. A. From the figures also
must be deducted increased allow
ances for fuel and clothing allow
ances which are higher during these
months, driving still lower the
amounts for food. Thus, while
during July, 1888, food expenditures
totaled 81.8 per cent of the total
relief expenditures, in February,
1884, food expenditures comprised
only 68.4 per cent of the total relief
money spent, fuel, clothing and
light accounting for the difference.
Into the figures must also be reck-
oned increases in the cost of food,
which, according to a survey by the
Research and Planning division of
the N. R. A., increased Is per cent
between April, 1888 and April, 1884.
Mass Layoffs Continue
A new collapse in employment,
driving new millions into destitu-
ton, is already under way In the
auto industry, mass lay-offs have
followed the decline in production
while the workers retained on the
production line are being subjected
to greater speed-up. Ford has just
laid off another 5000. Workers in
every plant in Detroit are reporting
layoffs and speed-up. The A. F.

Families on welfare are not eat

Of health" J. F. Ballenger, Detroit
superintendent of welfare, stated
recently in commenting upon food
price increases. THE cost of food
has increased 81 per cent in Detroit
since June /, 1888" he added.
Due to heavy speculative buying
in anticipation Of price rises, and
due to auto production and NUM-
ton sales, steel production reached
81 per cent of capacity in the middle
OF May. A drastic cut is predicted.
After week shut down, the silk
industrialists, with 100000 of
yards on hand, are calling for fur

FOOu SAFES Down
Food sales, according to A. and P.
reports, which tabulate total ton
mage sold, were 10 per cent lower
in April, 1884, than in the CORE
spending period of 1888.
In all, while forced labor has been
or is being introduced on all relief,
while food prices rise, families on
relief reach new levels, and relief
expenditures are being slashed, as
federal, state and municipal relief
expenditures are being curtailed,
the summer looms as the blacklist
period for the unemployed since
the beginning of the crisis.
The answer of the jobless has
been strikes on the forced labor
projects, raising to new levels the
struggles of the unemployed, mass
demonstrations and marches, with
the central slogan of jobs at trade
union wages or cash relief in like
amounts, and the immediate pass

EWHAT was the role, activities and
" strategy of the Party? Was the Party
a force in starting these events? To
evaluate soberly, we must answer, yes, the
Party was force, but not an organized
force inside the strikers or the Toledo la
Dor movement
The Party and the Unemployed Council
initiated the call for mass pcketng and violation
Of the injunction The Party carried through at
tempts at mass picketing It's members and leader
ship were on the picket line The Party was in
strumental in carrying through the first big mobili
zation and actively participated with the workers
in all the big battles. Leaflets issued daily by
the Party evaluating each event. The Young Com
munist League issued leaflets to the National Guard
Leaflets were also issued by the Unemployed Coun-
Gil and Auto Workers Union. In fact, leaflets we're
the main instrument of the Party in reaching thou
sands of workers during the first part of the strike
Prior to the sell-out over 100000 copies of leaf
lets issued under the direction of the Commu-
mist Party Because of our complete isolation from
organized contact with the strikers prior to the
strike and the generally sectarian work of the Party
in under estimating trade union and shop work.
the Party used its influence inside the Unemploy-
ment Council to make it an active instrument not
only in modifying unemployed workers on the picket
line, but in penetrating the strikers and unions.
Influence of Agitation
What actually happened was that our ideas pene-
trated the masses and they transferred them into
action. We not an organized force inside the
ranks of the strikers that could influence every
move in order to out-maneuver the class enemy as
well as the agents inside the strikers ranks At
that moment could only issue leaflets, speak to
individual strikers and trust that our agitational
material was clear that the strikers would under
stand it and put it into practice correctly
The failure of our local comrades in the pre-
limnary days to appreciate the Importance of or
ganized contact is by the fact that although
group of "a strikers had been brought together
we allowed this valuable asset to slip out of our
hands, not even having their addresses This was
major weakness which it was necessary to over
come after the big events had already broken out.
Party Strategy
In the first days of the mass battles, the Party
section and District leadership worked out the fol-
lowing main strategy:
Cd Stimulate and organize the broadest united
front movement in support of the strike Organize
an immediate united front protest demonstration
demanding withdrawal of the National Guard Or
ganize mass funeral of the workers shot Call
broad United Front Conference in support of the
Auto-Lte strikers, to force withdrawal of the va
tional Guard and stimulate calling of immediate
