NEWARK, Ohio.-The social fas-
cist role of the American Workers
Party has been demonstrated fully
in Newark. Ohio. Here there is an
affiliate of the Music Truck Ohio
Unemployed Leagues called the
Farmers and Laborers Organization.
Until five militant workers formed
an opposition group the program
was reformist; the F & L. merely
served as a check on the Leicking
Co. Relief Commission that it full
fill its own miserable program. The
opposition forced and won several
fights. for increase of 20 per cent
in G. w, A, pay, for removal Of
township trustees as foremen be-
cause they were petty politicians
getting double pay and better dis
tribution Of work among farmers
with teams. Then the president, a
former Ku Klux city councilman,
attempted to expel an old glass
worker who had been elected sec
rotary, because he sold Daily
Workers. The rank and file voted
against removing him but the next
week the president had two coppers
present who forced the secretary
and dragged a worker who sup
ported him out of the hall. Presi-
dent Truck of the Ohio Unem-
ployed League and Elmer Cope,
vice president, were at both meetings
and approved of this action.
Since a former Municipal Court
Clerk and Chief Of Police Berry, a
xxx, have spoken at F. & L.
meetings and made lying attacks
on the Communist Party. Two
weeks ago the p. & L. attended in
a body a huge meeting organized
by the Republican Club. Charles M.
Newcome, former professor Of elo-
'ution at Ohio Wesleyan University,
former industrial commissioner of
Cleveland, now financed by the
Foundation of Christian Economics,
and Tom McCaw, commander of
Ohio American Legion, spoke. New
come through his Foundation is
linked up with Silver Shirt Chief
William D. PeIley, who says he Wis
tied God for seven minutes to get
Information for his Christ govern
nent. His speech was a repetition
Of DR.. Wirt's charges against the
Water the Brain Trusters and
such SANDERS and lying charges as
the Communist Party is a gigantic
Jewish scheme to rule the world, -
and that Negro people and foreign
born are inferior Legionnaire
McCaw, ve-wrecked by the war
for the capitalists, for whom he still
does service, gave the chairman
what he called a fascist salute.
Especially agitated because of the
Y, G. LIS program of fighting i'm
perialist war, he unwittingly gave it
publicity which was received by

BUFFALO. N. UT seems to me
that the leadership of this strike
has not done all the things it could
have done TO win.
Every striker does not have some
thing to do all the time, Hundreds
Of men are hanging around getting
restless and losing their spirit be-
cause they are not kept busy every
day to help the strike. We could
have a tag day, or We could hold
dozens Of short street meetings all
over the city every evening to report
on the strike, or We could drive
through all working class districts
with cars with banners on and give
out leaflets about ourselves very
often. Or We could Just go from
door to door in all workers districts
and ask them, How do you like our
striker" The strikers will find out
that every worker is on the side of
the strikers. They hope they will
not lose their strike or go back to
work until they make the company
come across. They will help the
strikers on the picket line or in a
demonstration.
The strikers would not lose their
morale if they would go around and
talk things over with other workers.
I think the leadership has deliber-
ately ignored this sympathy. Think
they were afraid to use it.
Fighting the Red Scare"
They should send strikers and
their wives to every part of the city

us that it is because the newspapers

thing in them is carefully written
to discredit the working class. Well.
If it is a Moscow Red" that fights
to keep the scabs out so we won't
have to 90 back to our old rotten
conditions and low wages, and so
that we can have something to say
about our own lives, then am not
against the Reds. And I don't think
that anyone has to come from
Moscow in order to feel like fight

Editor Daily Worker,

Dear Comrade:
In an editorial published in the
Daily Worker of May 8, "Republi-
can Strategy and the MIRA" it
appears to me there are some in
correct and unclear foundations
which should be clarified, First of
all, it gives the impression that
the N.R.A. is hampering the drive
toward fascism, whereas it is one
of the instruments of bourgeDise
in the development toward fas-
cism. Secondly, while 1t correctly
points out the historic trickery" of
the two-party system in the United
States as means of deceiving the
masses and diverting their discon-
tent into safe channels, this is in
complete without at the same time
mentioning the role that social
reformism plays in this regard,
especially with recent develop
ments toward hird-party move
ment. I hope that the Daily
Worker will clarity this question,
as it has very important task
in dispelling the confusion that is
widespread among the masses
about the role that the Democratic
and Republican parties are play
ing and the role of social-f ascisnl,
in carrying through the capitalist
program of hunger, fascism and
war.

An autopsy disclosed the girl was

ON IMPORTED FEED
President Signs Emergency
Rule to Save Drought
Area Stock.
(Continued From First Page.)

American products was involved was
not made known, although In view
of the drought emergency informed
sources regarded this as unlikely
Any bargaining with the Dominion
for compensation might delay the
movement of feed for cattle and other
stock, which must have it soon or
starve, it was said.
Offcials at the Bureau of Customs
were said to have informed FraZier's
Office that the authorization for the
lowering of duties was given by the
President on August 10.
Chairman c. H. Jansen of the
Grocery Distributors Food Authority,
in a letter to President Roosevelt,
said the combination of the national
code authority for the food and gro
cery distributing trades and the re-
spective trade associations constituted
"ready-made machinery through whose
properly directed functioning the Sec
retary of Agriculture or any other
agency of the Federal Government
may protect the public against un-
warranted, unfair or unreasonable
prices"
To Harvest All Crop.
The code controls the operation of
5000 food wholesalers and jobbers
and $4,000 retailers.
In addition to bringing in foreign
supplies of forage for live stock, the
administration intends to garner all
available feed in this country.
To that end, even corn stalks ordi-
narily left in the fields are to be used.
Cleaners will go over stubble to gather
grain and feed left as food for birds
in normal years.
Relief officials will harvest stunted
corn, which the farmers feel not worth
saving. with labor from relief rolls.
In some instances State relief admin
iStrations may buy crops outright and
gather them with workers on relief
lists.
A pressing need is enough feed to
take care Of the millions of cattle and
sheep which the Government is buy
ing in the parched areas.
The majority of the live stock will
be procesSed for relief distribution,
but many will Starve beforehand, or
be worthless unless fed.
Chester c. Davis, farm admins
traitor, who returned yesterday from
a six-week trip through Midwest and
Far West said:
"I believe we can do more than we
are doing for drought-stricken farmers
in conserving and utilizing all live
stock feed, and we are doing every
thing we can think of otherwise for
them"
Reports to the Department of Agri-
culture are that some farmers are
cutting trees to allow cattle to eat
the leaves and small branches, others
are grazing the islands and stream
banks of small rivers, and still others
are cutting and stacking wild cane,
cat-tails, weeds and any other avail
able small plants.
