FORT SMITH, Ark. - On the
fifth day of November, two young
workers were engaged in a CONVEX
sstion pertaining to the unem-
ployed council
The two men were standing in
front Of a store. The store keeper
overheard the conversation and
called over cop. The cop searched
them and found q New Masses, a
Daily Worker and several unem-
ployment council leaflets on one of
the fellows.
The copper asked, What kind
of God Damn propaganda is this?"
The man did not reply, so the cop
says, Get the hell away from here
and get back down to the camp
with the rest of the God Damn
rats"
The cop told the other fellow,
who Is only 10 years of age, that
he would pistol whip his God Damn
hide if he caught him with any
more of this God Damn prop
uganda.
He took the youth to the Chief
of Policies office, where the youth
received a very patriotic lecture,
was released without bail and or
dered to appear in court the next
day at 10 a. m.

drive against the living standards
of the unemployed workers of Ala

The State Administration, under
the direction OF Thad Holt, State
Welfare Administrator. is cutting
entire families off the relief rolls in
the cities as we'll as in the country
side. The Birmingham News carried
the statement of Thad Holt that
$4,000 people out of the 100000 on
relief would be cut off by Jan. 1.
At the present time there are
thousands Of unemployed that re-
ceive no relief whatsoever. This
exists mainly among the youth who
receive no direct or work relief.
Throughout the state there are
thousands Of young Negro and white
workers facing starvation.
Those that are on the welfare get
only l sack Of flour, lard, ID. Of
coffee, 6 lbs. of, meal, 2 cakes of

The boss class of Alabama has

Throughout the Birmingham dis

setting up their unemployed organ

built to fight for relief for the I'M

Man Ousted
In Yukon

YUKON, Pal am going to tell
you about the local pit committee,
The workers elected a pit committee
when the U. M. w. Of A, came into
the coal fields.
One of the members Of the COM
mittee, Tony BronSter, was always
doing something opposite the other
two men on the committee.
The miners never had any use for
him. The bosses like him very we'll,
All the time he would get a nice
place to work in, while the other
members of the pit committee would
get the places with water pouring
down their backs. The miners we're
also getting a rotten deal.
So, the local decided to take Bron-
ster off at the last U. M. w. A.
meeting. The young miners were
against him. The only friends he
had were the bosses. He resigned
himself for he knew what was COM
ing to him.
Not only that, but he Scabbed on
the farm hands last summer. A
farmer was offering one bushel of
corn for every ten that somebody
would husk for him. The whole
Bronster family went to this farmer
and husked corn for him. The other
farm hands whom this farmer
called wouldn't 60 to work for that
pay So these farm hands say that
the miners scab on them. You can
see now what man he is for
pit committee.
The local will sAect new pit
committee. who will fight against
the bosses. The other two men on
the pit committee are staunch fight
ers. The local has been supporting
the Rank and File Movement of
the U. M. W. of A.

Rank and File Initiates Social Insurance Fight
After Officials Flee Meeting

of the union The officials, greatly
in favor of this move, backed him
up strongly and he was made reg
ular member. This is viewed by
many members of the rank and file
as a move on the part of the Of
ficials to have at their meetings a
clever lawyer who will challenge the
moves Of the rank and file on
grounds of involved legality, and
thus check the rising militancy.
The next night at the special
meeting the Washington Congress
for Unemployment and Social In
surance was unanimously endorsed.
A rank and file committee of five
was elected to call upon all organi-
cations in and about Barre to
broaden this committee by electing
members to serve thereon.
The committee is at once to call
a mass meeting and symposium to
which speakers for various social
and unemployment insurance bills
will be invited. From this mass
meeting delegates will be elected to
go to Washington to the Congress
on January 5, and funds will be
raised to cover the transportation
Of the delegates.
The Barre and Concord branches
of the Granite Cutters International
Assn are the largest and therefore
the key locals in the whole indus
try. 1t is said that the G. G. / A.
always goes the way Barre and Con-
cord go. Therefore, the fact that
the rank and file have taken their
union into their own hands In these
locals, and are in direct opposition
to the old time officials. points to
a complete change in the leader
ship of the entire union.

ZEIGLER, I'LL am writing you
to inform you and others of the
way the Progressive Miners of
America is being run by few lead
ers here in Franklin County.
These same leaders sent us back
to work in August, 1882. We were
to receive help to win this strike
from our northern brothers who
were also on strike.
I. o. Dudley, now an appointed
Board Member of the P. M. A., made
a long speech In which he said, Il
would rather lose my right arm than
to send you fellows back to work. "
Dudley did not tell us to stay out
and meet our incoming brothers as
we miners were wanting to do but
he asked us miners to vote on it.
Some we're afraid and others were
so disguised that it was voted to
go back to work.
The day after we returned to
work, the northern miners were met
at the county line by company thugs
accompanied by the sheriff, and
were driven back. Whereas, if I. o.
Dudley would have said for us to
go and meet our oncoming brothers,
we striking miners of Franklin
County would be better off today.
That strike would have been won,
had it not been for the cowardice
of our leaders. At the picket lines
they were lacking. Men would ask
where were Jack Allen and I. o.
Dudley? Well, We will soon find out.

dent of our P. M. A. local, was at

Fact and Fancy
BY ANN RIO N

THE Women's Bureau, U. S. De-
partment of Labor, has pub
lished from time to time some
very revealing statistics on con-
ditionS of women. A week or so
ago we repeated figures from the
Women's Bureau, dealing with the
fact that out of 533 N.R.A. codes,
1875 provided lower wage rates
for women than those provided
for men.
Then there was the WOmen's
Bureau report of month or so
ago that devoted much space 30
the conditions of domestic work.
ers, admitting that the dearth of
work, forced many girls to work
at any wages or conditions pro-
vided by their employers. There
has also been much material on
homework, revealing widespread
sweat shop conditions in the
homes, where women and chill
dren work twelve and fourteen
hours day for few cents an
hour.
All this is to serve as little in
PRODUCTION to the Bulletin released
by the U. S. Department of Labor
Women's Bureau on Nov. 21st. This
bulletin shows very clearly that
research" bureaus of the govern
ment, are by no means merely i'm
partial gatherers of facts, but serve
as propaganda for government
policies.
In spite of these descriptions Of
the lowered standard Of living of
women resulting directly from the
N.R.A. recovery codes, the Novem-
Der 21st Bulletin states, THE Re-
covery program, nationwide in scope
has brought real benefits to women,
through improving standards for
their employment, and stressing
their needs" Miss Mary Anderson,
Director Of the Women's Bureau,
U. S. Department of Labor is cred
tied with this statement.
In the clash of contradictions be-
tween fact and fancy in the Wo-
mems Bureau, it seems fancy wins
once again! (But I wouldn't say by
q head)

So why should they worry2
