situation, when without warning the
brush parted to reveal a mounted In
dian, clad only in a breech-clout.
Everybody grabbed guns, and the fish
ermen rushed for the boat. Before they
could fire the Indian held up his gun
in sign of friendship. The men recog-
nized him as Curley, Grow scout, who
had gone out with Custer. He was
motioned to ford the stream to the boat.
Unable to speak English, he drew dia-
grams and made signs, accompanied by
a few words which the soldiers could
understand, and at last made them
realize what had happened. Next day
Muggins Taylor, scout with Gibbon,
came in view. holly pursued by Sioux.
He was on his way to Fort Ellis with
dispatches, and had been turned off his
route by the attack, and came upon the
boat by accident and pure good luck.
During the night, after a difficult
journey, the wounded of Reno's COM
mand began to be brought in to be
taken down the river to a hospital.
One of the honored wounded was
Comanche, claybank sorrel horse, the
mount of Captain Keogh, who fell with
Custer. His finding and rescue is a
thrilling story within itself. He was
taken to Of the army posts and
pensioned to a life Of leisure. He was
given every care and was never again
used as a soldiers mount, but he ap-
peared, fully a~ccoutered, for many years
in all parades and ceremonies, with the
bride and saddle always draped in
black.
Taking that group Of wounded SOL
diers down the Big Horn to the Yellow
stone was the biggest moment in Cap
tain Marsh's life. It was the hardest
job he had ever tackled. And he was
scared.
General Terry had come aboard, and
he called Captain Marsh to his cabin.
He said: Captain, you are about to
start on a trip with So wounded men
on your boat. This is a bad river to
navigate, and accidents are liable to
happen. I wish to ask Of you that you
use all the skill you possess, all the
caution you can command, to make
the journey safely. Captain, you have
on board the most precious cargo a boat
eve carried. Every soldier here who
is suffering with wounds is the victim
Of a terrible blunder; a sad and ter
rible blunder!"
Captain Marsh assured General Ter
~ that he would give the best that was
in him.
At the helm of the Far West, it
Ieeusd to Captain Marsh he would
never turn his boat in those turbid
waters A strange weakness had come
over him. He turned to his co-pilots
and said:
Boys, I can't do it: I'll smash her
up"
20, no you won't" they answered.
You're excited. Cool off a minute
and you'll be all right"
The captain waited a few moments,
brought himself under control, and
performed the touchy job of turning
the boat down the current.
Arrived at the Yellowstone, the Far
West waited two days for the arrival OF
Gibbon and his troops and ferried them
across the river. Meantime Muggins
Taylor had left for Fort Ellis.
On July 3 the Far West started down
the Yellowstone, running day and
night. One man died Of his wounds,
and the boat stopped long enough that
he might be buried at the Powder.
Rumblings of catastrophe had ap-
parently preceded the boat, for at every

BREAK THE 1NJUNCTIoNs

Dear Comrade Editor:
Recently a Socialist worker asked
me, "Why do your Communist COM
rades support restaurants and cafe
teriaS on 14th St., which either don't
employ union labor or even have in
functions against the Food Workers
Industrial Union.
I felt quite embarrassed because l
could not answer that point. There
are at least four or five places on
l4th st. which have either signed up
with the Food workers Industrial
Union or advertise in the Daily
Worker. But in spite of that, some
comrades insist on patronizing such
places as the Crusader or Willow
cafeterias. Please enlighten me OH
this point.
EDITORS NOTE: 1t is our opinion
that comrades should not patrOnize
the places named. These restaurants
have injunctionS out against the
Food Workers Industrial Union.
Comrades should not patrOnize such
places.
However, the union should not rely
on this purely passive boycott on
these restaurants. An active CAM
paign should be carried on to win
the workers for struggle to break the
injunction.

Beet Field Workers 1917 Worse Than Before.
NRA, Writes Correspondent from Wyoming
Wages Average Is Per Cent Less, While Cost of
Icing Has Gone Up 25 Per Cent

This company paid about the same
to the farmers, but received at least
so cents more per 100-weight for SUI
gar during the past year.
Now that the factories have shut
down with the end Of the sugar max
ing period, these workers in many
localities are being told that those
who have had employment during
the preceding 90 days will get neither
relief nor C.WA. jobs.
This company alone made profit
of SO 100000 in the past year.
Now in most localities Of the noun
tain and western plains states, the
C.W.A. workers have been given SO
per cent wage cut, and many have
been completely laid of. Many work
ers who boosted during the Roose-
welt ballyhoo campaign about getting
a raise now realize that wages per
hour count very little, because of the
fact that they must live while not
working, proving that wages should
be figured by the year, and, for that
matter, from year to year instead
of by the hour. These workers are
rapidly developing the habit Of COM
pairing average wages with average
living costs.

Some comrades we're assigned TO
various tasks, but never carried them
out. Leaflets were gotten out by the
section organizer who by himself had
to mimeograph them and help dis

There were no previous meetings
held anywhere to let the workers
know anything about it.
The Old Disease
An open forum scheduled to be
held on the waterfront, to begin to
mobilize the marine workers for the
demonstration turned out very poorly
because the speaker failed to show
up. At this time the seamen were
struggling for relief and the senti-
ment was high for struggle. This
situation certainly could have been
used and could have been linked up
with the struggle against fascism.
The marine comrades themselves
did not receive the proper political
guidance from the section, and also
did not carry through the work they
should have for the demonstration,
including the writer of this article.
A special leaf1et gotten out by the
district for the Baltimore waterfront
arrived about 20 minutes before the
demonstration was to take place
(Which was three miles away.
This gives an idea Of the amount
Of preparations that were made in
the entire section for the demonstra-
tion. y
Amongst the workers in the basic
industries - practically nothing was
done and the same goes for the

Several other comrades took q look

The following day an article APP

that the Communists, seeing the po-
lice, had changed their plans, etc.
This shows, that in Baltimore the
Party must begin to become serious
IN its work. must institute strict
Party discipline, must insist that de-
cisions are, carried out, that the low
political level of the membership is
raised. We must have such Party
in Baltimore that will be able to lead
the workers, to insure ourselves that
the line of the Party will be carried
out, that demonstrations will not fail
and our weakness will be overcome.

TORRINGTON, WyO. - Beet held
workers were paid on an average of
Is per cent less than last year, and
since many small farmers could not
hire help they were compelled to
work their wives and children in the
fields. There were fewer workers en-
ployed in relation to the total av-
erage than last year. In the mean
time the cost of living has increased
at least Is per cent, leaving these
workers 40 per cent worse off than
before the NR.A. By the time the
beet work had been finished, CW.A.
coolie labor had begun, but since
most of the beet field laborers are
Mexican aliens they were denied
both work and relief.
In the Holly Sugar Corp. factory
hours have been reduced from IL
to 8, but so great did the speed-up
become that each factory made on
an average $500 per day profit above
last year. The hourly raise mounted
to more than 10 per cent while the
cost of living amounted to Is per
cent and still is climbing.
The Great Western Sugar Co. also
got by with less total labor costs.

SUGGESTIONS FOR SPREADING
THE Sd. W."
To the Editor:
1 have some ideas to help popular
re and spread the Daily Worker,
therefor I wish you would put some Of
these suggestions in print that the
friends and readers Of the Daily
Worker would put these ideas in
practice and thus triple the circula-
ton of the Daily Worker within the
next 3 months.
Here are a list of suggestions:
Wherever I get a Daily Worker
never throw it away, but keep it until
I get into some chance conversation
with some worker and then I ask him
whether he ever heard or read the
Daily Worker and if he says he never
read it, I proceed to explain what it
stands for and offer him copy and
suggest that he visit the Daily
Worker center or join some SYM
pathetic organization of the Com
muniSt movement. That personal
contact makes the young man feel
friendly to our cause, etc.

placing them in pool halls, restaur-
ants or lunch rooms. Barber shops,
tailor stores, trains, etc. Better still
come down to the Daily Worker
center, IS East 18th ST., and get some
old copies and distribute them once
or twice a week at the above men
toned places.
Third, I always ask every news
dealer who I notice doesn't handle
the Daily Worker If he gets call for
the Daily Worker and if he answers
yes, I then suggest that he order or
copies, and we will try to see that
it is delivered to him, also assure him
that the papers are returnable so
that there is no risk involved. I
then turn these names in to the
Daily Worker volunteer Office located
on the 5th floor of the Workers
Center. The Daily Worker volunteers
are an interesting group of young
men and women who meet every
other Friday at their club rooms at
the Workers Center. All are invited
to attend our meeting and join our
club.

Wayne County, No.,
Farmers Denied
Relief System
By a Farmer CORRESPONDENT


PATTERSON, Mo. - In Wayne
County, Missouri, there are hundreds
of small farmers who own their own
small hillside farms on mortgages
That are far more than the farms
are worth. The banks are continue
ally selling farms for the mortgages,
and every circuit court sells bunch
for delinquent taxes. Even the farm
ers who own farms in the river bot
toms are broke, and are losing their
homes.
They raise general crops, corn
mostly in the river bottoms. On
the hill land they have meadows,
and raise corn, wheat, soy beans,
ETC., and few hogs and cattle. The
price of these are so low, that they
can't possibly make any profit, and
everything is done on such small
scale that if they made little profit,
it would not even pay their taxes.
A few farmers try to work the
small saw mills, but the N. R. A..
had stopped all this. The state did
a little highway work and gave the
boys few weeks work at starvation
wages. There is no relief system at
all.
We must organize many meetings
Of as many people as possible to dis
cusS our grievances and conditions,
and to write protests to the county,
state and federal government, also
to organize penny sales at mortgage
and tax sales, etc., and to organize
a country wide demonstration for re-
lief, against foreclosures, evictions
and for unemployment insurance at
the expense of the Federal govern
ment and employers.

LIVES IN OLD RESERVOIR
(By a Worker CORRESPONDENT

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.-One worker
was forced here to move into an old
Water Reservoir to make his home

by sheet iron. The worker uses an
old iron barrel for a stove and pieces
he has picked up from freight cars
to make his bed. His address is in
the rear Of Lawter Furniture Co. in
100 Block on South Harding st. He
is getting his eats any way he can,
for the trustee won't help him be-
cause he is single.

Negroes Given
Hardest Work on
Detroit CWA Job
lBy q Worker CorespOndentl

DETROIT, Mich--In front of my
place there are about 200 workmen
trying to dig up dirt in order to
widen the street. This is absolutely
unnecessary, because the paid con-
tractor only widened the opposite
SIDE this last summer, and the street
is wide enough to carry twice the
traffic it now carries.
The very noticeable thing standing
out in this gang work is the Jim
crow. Negroes are the shock absorb
ers up in the front, tackling the sur
face dirt, which is frozen solid. They
strike the ground with heavy pick,
but hardly break off more than the
size Of a pea. This would tear the
hands Of almost anyone to pieces
inside of an hours time.
A friend Of mine just remarked
that it seemed to him to be just
filling in time, the work is so un-
necessary. The thought that came to
me was, why don't they use some Of
these modern machines. especially no
in front where the ground has to be
broken. But no. that would complete
the job too quickly.
Some Of these men are not wearing
enough clothes to keep them warm.
The foreman stands over them as
though thru habit, on high speed
production, and the gang seem to
respond accordingly.
I would like to advise them to
protest against the uselessness Of the
work, and if the City could not give
them more constructive inside work
TO do, to agitaUe and to organize for
unemployment insurance since it is
not their fault that they are not able
to get work, when they are willing
to work at a sensible constructive
kind of work.

Ranch Worker Ready

Bv a Farm Worker Corresuo

By Farm Worker Correspondent
GREAT FALLS, Mont. - To
date I have not seen any letters
from your readers that slave in
thf ranch industry. But if the
RESI- of them can be compared to
this ranch, it will not be long
before they will begin to question
the honesty and rights Of the
master class.
When a man is hired here he
is impressed by the bosses nice
picture of what life is like on his
ranch, as well as the generous
offer that he is to receive in re-
turn for his labor. In reality,
the majority are forced to dig
into their reserve in order to pur-
chase tobacco and clothes, and
about all they get from the boss
is lies and worthless checks.
I do not belong to the Com
munist Party, but I am ready to
become member as soon as I
am in touch with the local or
CARNATIONS.
EDITORS NOTE:-The Daily
Worker has already gotten in
touch with the National Organi-
cation Department to take steps
TO communicate with this worker.
Meanwhile it behO0ves the Mon
tana district TO make 1t easier
for such workers to contact the
local organization.
