FARM NEWS
Edited by
Nate Bovee, County Agent

Leaders who attended the meat
training centers held at Wabasso and
Redwood Falls, February % and "a
have been giving demonstrations in
their own townships during the last
two weeks. They also explain the
methods of pre-cooking meat before
canning so as to make it more at
tractive for serving. The discussion
on "How to Serve Canned Meat" also
brings out many new and interesting
ways in which to serve canned meat
in the home.
According to plans made by the
county home and community commit
tee which met February Is at Wabas-
so four months home demonstration
project in clothing will be conducted
by Miss M. Lois Reid, extension spe-
cialist in clothing, University Farm.
Women enrolling will receive infor-
nation and training on time savers
in home sewing. There will also be
ideas for making over garments so
as to make use of the clothing on
children's garments which are simple
to make and with "self-help" feat
ures which will allow the child to
dress himself with the greatest
amount of ease. Modern underwear
that fits we'll, yet provides the neces-
sary ease for comfort.
At the home and community COM
mittee meeting, Miss Reid outlined
the clothing project and explained
the methods for organizing women in
to local study groups. Each month, be-
ginning in April, Miss Reid will
spend three days in the county train
ing local leaders from each communi-
ty who in turn will present the lesson
to their respective groups.
Four lessons make up the project.
The subjects of these lessons are as
follows:
1. Time savers in construction-of
bias tape, neck finishes, fitted fac
ings, attractive, tailored, set in
pockets using cotton silk and woolen
materials.
2. Making use of clothing on hand
giving ideas for dressing up old
garments to make them look like the
spring styles of 1884.
3. Children's clothes = featuring
"self help" ideas.
4. Modern underwear-women in
the group are provided with patterns
for these garments.
The county agent announces that
any woman desiring to enroll should
do so at once as only limited num-
Der can be accommodated. The en-
tire project will be free, being spon-
sored by the county agricultural ex-
tension service cooperating with
the home demonstration office of the
Minnesota Agricultural Extension
Division, University Farm. Any wo-
man wishing to enroll for this course,
or to find out more about it, should
see the home chairman in her town.

COTTON WEAR
WAGES Gu 7
TEN Per CENT
Industrial C. o m m lite e
Makes Decision for
1000 Factories

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 10
Wages of cotton garment workers
in about 1000 factories throughout
the United States were cut 10 per
cent, effective today, in line with
the reduction of weekly hours from
40 to 36, it was decided by the In
dustrial Committee OF the cotton
garment industry, acting under
direct authority from President
Roosevelt. A representative of the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers of
America and Of the United Gar
ment Workers, both A. F. L. unions,
are on the committee.
That the wages would be reduced,
both weekly rates and piece rates,
was predicted by the Daily Worker
several months ago when President
Roosevelt issued his Executive
Order that hours were to be re-
duced from 40 to SO in the cotton
garment industry. However, the
Presidents order at that time stated
that wages were to remain the
same as before. Now the part of
the Presidents order about the
hours reduction is allowed to re-
main, but the part about there be-
ing no reduction in wages is elirni-
mated.
This wage cutting trick was re-
sorted to with the help of the Fed
eral courts, which last week granted
80 manufacturers stay as to the
wages part of the order. The In
dustrial Committee yesterday ap-
piled the courts action to the rest
of the industry.
Sidney Hillman, president of the
A. G. W., and David Dubinsky,
president of the International
Ladies Garment Workers Union,
few months ago threatened a
strike in the cotton garment in
dustry if the wages were not in
creased 10 per cent when the hours
were reduced. This strike was
called off when President Roosevelt
promised that wages would be in
creased to make up for the hours
cut. Now, with the aid of union
officials, the wage cut has been put
through, effective today.

TEMPORARY
ACCORD SEEN
IN BALKANS
JugOslavia and Hungary
Announce Agreement
''In Principle"

GENEVA, Dec. 10.-After bitter
discussions, and the oft~lepeated
threats of war, Jugoslavia and Hun
gary reached an accord "in prin-
ciple" on their difference arising
from the assassination of King
Alexander, it was announced today
in the League of Nations.
The ar louncement of the accord
came as a surprise as the previous
debates had been sharply personal
and acrid. The greatest pressure
to prevent war was exerted by the
Soviet Union in conjunction with
France, whose agreement to still
further strengthen their security
past and the Eastern Locarno past,
had a tremendous effect on the
course of events at Geneva.
France introduced draft of a
treaty providing for the creation
of an International Criminal Court
for the repression of terrorist groups
This was aimed particularly at the
terrorist gangs sponsored by the
Hitler regime in Germany, Hungary
and other countries.
Nicholas Titulescu, foreign min
lister of Rumania, made a speech
on the appeal of Jugoslavia to the
League of Nations, blaming Hun
gary for assisting in the plot against
the life of King Alexander.
The international Criminal Court
proposed by France, it was explained
here, Would be competent to act in
the following cases: When an ac-
cused terrorist takes refuge in a
country other than that which
wishes to prosecute him, and when
the country which the crime was
committed renounces the prosecu-
ton.
Though the accord" temporarily
DEGREES the severity of the situation
at the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS border,
it does not in the least wipe out the
basic cause for the near outbreak.
The Fascists in Germany, and the
Hungarian ruling class still continue
their agitation for the forcible re-
visions of the postwar treaties, with
the Nazis in Germany arming to
carry out their wishes at that they
consider the most favorable moment.

Backs state wide strike

TRENTON, N. j., Dec. 1O-More
than 140 delegates, representing
$1,000 workers, participated in
State Conference for Unemploy-
ment and Social Insurance on Sat-
urday, and decided to call a state
wide strike of relief workers on Jan.
2. The delegates consisting of rep
resentatives from unemployed or
CARNATIONS, trade unions, and fra
ternal organizations also endorsed
the Workers Unemployment and
Social Insurance Bill, and came out
in full support of the National
Congress for Unemployment and
Social Insurance which is to be held
in Washington on Jan. 5th to It'll.
The statewide strike of the re-
lief workers will demand a mini
mum CT S18 a week for unskilled
workers and union Iages for skilled
workers. A special conference of
the unemployed organizations laid
plans for the strike. and decided to
affiliate with the National Unem-
plOyIneDJ COunCllS.
The Conference constituted itself
the state federation Of the National
Congress, and the trade union and
fraternal delegates decided to con-
stitute themselves local committees
to push organizational plans for the
National Congress.
Resolutions were passed demand
ing the release of Mooney and Bill

telegram was sent to Relief Adj

MAYOR SCABS

TRUCK STRIKE
Daily worker pittsburgh Bureau)

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Dec. TO-
Federal conciliators were brought in
today in an attempt to settle the
strike of 300 truck drivers, members
of the A. F. of L. Local 249, who
walked out Saturday morning when
the Red Star, ]. Kenny, and M. j.
Harmon Transfer Companies re-
fused their demands for new con-
tract and increase from 65 cents
to one dollar an hour.
Scab deliveries are being made for
the A. and P. Tea Co., with which
the three companies hold hauling
contracts, under the protection of
Mayor McNair, city police, deputies
and State troopers.
McNair personally escorted scab
trucks on Saturday and Sunday,
and had several strikers arrested
for booing him as scab.
This morning strikers, scabs, and
police clashed in Collins Ave, with
three sent to hospital following a
battle. Two others were taken to
hospital yesterday.
Deliveries have been curtailed to
great extent, but no picket lines
have been established, strikers cruis-
ing about in machines, and trucks
are being steadily loaded.
John Frankel, attorney for the
strikers, has announced that the
men will go back at rs cents an
hour, and there is danger that if
A. F. Of l.. policies are followed in
the present strike as in that of the
Swift Co. drivers. it will conclude
in some kind of lockout. No at
tempts are being made to pull out
other drivers or to spread the strike
in any way.
Seventeen strikers have been ar
rested. Ten were released this morn
ing in police court; the other seven
were held under $1,000 bail each
for further hearing.

2 Misleaders
Resign From
Toledo Union

TOLEDO, Ohio, Dec. 10.-Thomas
Ramsey and Floyd Bossler. who mis-
led the Auto-Lite workers in the
historic strike last summer, resigned
from the United Automobile Work.
ers Federal Union, of which they
were officials, after a motion at
local meeting to suspend them came
within five votes of the two-thirds
necessary to carry. The union has
5000 members and is the largest in
Toledo.
Although the local capitalist press
announces that the resignation was
due to differences in the manage
ment of the union" it is due to the
revolt of the rank and file which
has been developing ever since the
betrayal Of the Auto Lite strike by
these officials. Ramsey and Bossler
were forced to resign, despite eff
forts of President Green, of the
A. F. of L.. to assist them through
organizers especially sent to Toledo.
The climax in the struggle within
the local was reached when the
question of negotiations for a new
wage scale came before the mem
bership.
During the crucial moment prior
to the outbreak Of a general strike
in Toledo, Ramsey was hailed by
the Muste-led Workers Party here
as great leader He was most
responsible in averting the General
Strike. The Com munist Party
warned the workers against these
misleaders, and the latest develop
ments are result of the growing
rank and file control in the union.

UNITED LABOR
vO TIE URGED
IN AUTO POLL
Auto W Ork ers Union
Asks for Unity
in Elections
By A. b. Magil
DAILY Worker Detroit Bureau)

DETROIT, Mich, Dec. 10-The
Auto Workers Union today decided
to propose to all legitimate trade
unions in the automobile industry
the holding Of a Joint mass meeting
to organize a united labor front in
the elections that are being launched
in the auto plants by the Automo-
bile Labor Board. The union an
nounces that in order not to split
the labor vote, it further proposes
to call on all its members and on
production workers as a whole TO
vote for the A. F. of L. United Auto
mobile Workers, and on all tool and
die makers to vote for the Mechan-
les Educational Society of Amer
lea.
The Auto Workers Union decided
on these steps as a result of the
announcement just made by the
Automobile Labor Board that it is
preparing to hold elections for COL
lective bargaining representatives at
the Cadillac Motor Co. The union
charges that the elections are being
organized in a way to assure vic
tory to the company unions unless
the legitimate trade unions act to
present a common front.
Demands Outlawing of Co. Unions
In announcing its proposals. the
A. w. U. also declares its opposition
to this whole system of elections,
and demands the outlawing of COM
pany unions and the right of the
workers to elect department and
shop committees to conduct direct
negotiations with the companies.
The Auto Workers Union also
announces that it is requesting that
its representatives be allotted time at
the hearings on conditions in the
automobile industry, to be held Sat-
urday and Sunday in Detroit, in
connection with President Roose-
vents so-called survey of the in
dustry.
The elections at the Cadillac Com
pany have been designed as another
link in the chains of company
unionism that the open shop auto
magnates are trying to forge on the
limbs Of the tens of thousands of
men and women in the industry. It
is direct result of the strike
breaking Washington settlement of
March %, negotiated by the COM
panies. the Government and the A..
F. of L. leaders.
The announcement of the Auto
mobile Labor Board provides for the
holding of elections inside the
plants, with the workers designat-

The Daily Worker is today forced
to hoist warning signal!
There is danger that the money

With the exception of New York,
every large district turned in dis

New York contributed $404.
Milwaukee sent in $33.
The highest after that was $11

Only five days remain to raise

Chicago must raise 1888; Cleve-

he will be surely encountered in a

Coughin Radio Priest Maintains Secret Ties With Wall Street

This is the first of series of
articles analyzing the program of
Father Coughlin, the radio

many workers to believe that
Coughlin is to be trusted as a
leader of the fight against the
capitalists and for the needs of
the masses.
The main emphasis of the ar
ticles will be an examination of
Coughlin's ideas as they affect
the needs of the working class
now.
Who really benefits from
Coughlin's activity? Does his
program really offer a solution to
the crisis for the workers? Should
workers who hate the big Wall

the widest publicity?
Why does Coughlin attack the
Communist Party and the Soviet
Union? Why does he support
Roosevelt?
These are some Of the questions
that the series will discuss.
Flick the dial of a radio any Sun
