ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
Marble Cutters Neuritm

Dear Comrade DR.. Luttinger:
81 am A years old and my trade
is marble cutter. I have worked
at this trade a good many years for
the Northwestern Marble and Tile
Company at the rate of 81 hours a
week, without any Sundays off. The
cutting Is done with q hammer and
a chisel which is operated by COM
pressed air and jerks the life out of
personl Several years ago I
began to suffer with freezing hands,
especially my right hand. In cold
weather I have to put on two pairs
of mittens on each hand, and when
it is very cold this doesn't help.
The longest I can stand Is thirty
minutes and then the blood in my
fingers goes up and they get white
and numb up to the knuckles. The
right hand in which I held that
hammer Is always worse than the
left. Later the pain began to con-

~ a Cannery Worker Correspondent

By Cannery Worker Correspondent
SAN PEDRO, Cal.-The workers
in the French Sardine Cannery went
out on strike on Thursday, Feb. Is,
against the unbearable conditions
prevailing in that plant.
Many times the workers had to
work from 10 to 18 hours at a
Stretch, without extra pay for over
time.
On Feb. Is, at IL noon, the whole
warehouse gang struck. and when
the workers in the canning depart
ment heard about it, they also
struck as one, leaving the fish piled
up on tables and trays. The pleas
of the boss to clean up the tables
were of no avail
About 500 workers are employed
in this cannery normally, but at
present only about $50 are working,
IS per cent young workers, ranging
N age from II to IS, mostly girls.
The Fishermen and Cannery Work
ers Industrial Union, the only union
Al biAC kl4cs4lls N4l4C1l IldO dUOuG 4UO
members, took charge Of the strike,
and with the help of the Young
Communist League and the Com
munist Party, a plan of action was
proposed.
A strike committee Of IS were
elected, and mass picketing agreed
upon. The fishermen were called
upon TO support the strike, and the
entire feet fishing for the French
Sardine Co. were tied up, In all,
40 fishermen, the crews Of II boats,
and $50 cannery workers went out.
On Friday morning the pickets
came down to the plant and found
the fertilizer gang at work (about
six or so workers are in the fertilizer
gang. The strikers called upon
them to quit, as the plant was on
strike. The gang did gait, and the
plant was then tied up 100 per cent.
The Red Squad did its part by
arresting one YCL. member for
"lo.tering." The LID. was notified,
and $50 bail was posted. The press
started the Red Scare" and pub

that farmers are not hit by the

the truth is, that they can't eat

receives in return oryB EIGHTH or
12H % Of the oil, to be delivered to
him, free OF cost of production. The
operator must pay all costs out Of his

have to pay the landowner outright for
his oil land, and the operator win not

the risk by accepting 12h barrels out
Of every 100 barrels Of oil produced.

AS a result, the average landowner
shares his risk with someone else: some
one who has not had to go through the
hardships Of demonstrating and Of living
or starving-on a prairie farm. That
someone else pays the farmer cash
sum for the right Of participating in the
oil, If and when produced. When pro-
duction comes, the landowners share
Of the oil is divided according to deeds
Of royalty OF record. since the land
owner gives a warranty deed to any
part of his mineral rights which ne may
sell. These deeds go of record just as
real estate and the owner OF q dividend
portion Of the mineral rights is a law
unto himself. He can accept the oil, II
he desires TO do so, else he can order
it delivered to whatever purchaser to
whom he wishes to sell II. He becomes

~ IVIDEND checks amounting to ap-
proximstely $4,000 will go out 10
one group Of Montana oil investors
during the coming week.
These checks are NOT dividends Of the
corporate kind, but are payment for
dividend portion Of the oil produced
from oil farms OF Montana.
Fifty thousand dollars a moRth is the
present rate Of pay to owners Of land
owners royalties in Montana, this repre-
senting one-eighth OF the value OF oil
produced.
The total payment of royalties by Non
tana oil fields TO date Is in excess of
thirteen million dollars: averaging more
than q million dollars a year for royalty
owners ever since the first Montana oil
field came into commercial production.
Less than 1000 people are sharing
this monthly dividend; there are less
than 1000 owners Of producing royalties
in Montana.
There are very few oil farms in Mon
at least half of the landowners royalty.
The investor who buys a part of q land
owners share of the oil steps into the
shoes of the landowner. The landowner
gets 12k barrels out Of every 100 bar
rels produced. 1t Is delivered to him
by the producer FREE OF COST OF
PRODUCTION. II an investor buys one
percent royalty, ne receives one barrel
out OF every 100 barrels produced, FREE
OF COST OF PRODUCTION. He shares
every right and privilege of the land
owner.
TNHE landowners share is the lions
share in the oil business, however,
the landowner Is called upon to take
a contingent remuneration, when an OPP
orators secured q lease on the land.
The operator says to the farmer:
'sH this Is oil Land. It Is worth
a lot Of money, and it is worth
q lot Of money to me TO be able to
get this oil out Of the ground. So
IL the oil Is present and recoverable,
/ win pay you wen. II # is NOT
present, you get nothing"
So it is that the landowner GIVES

Start With Big Crew Saturday;
$4,000 Tons to be Put in Cans
To Follow with Beans and
Spinach

Canning tomatoes will start Satur-
day of this week. A crew of more
than a hundred women will begin the
job of putting about $4,000 tons of
tomatoes into cans. Somewhere in the
neighborhood of $4,000 cases will be
processed if the first fall frosts hold
off long enough. 81"
Manager Race is in Portland today
attending a meeting of the tomato
code, and plans to return tomorrow to
arrange for the reopening of the
plant Saturday morning. a -~~
About the tenth of the month, judg-
ing from the present condition of the
crop, it will be necessary to run two
crews in order to handle the daily
tonnage which is anticipated. A con-
tinuous run of fifty to sixty days is
expected, and orders for the product
are of a sufficient quantity to enable
the plant to continue to operate as
long as the picking can be continued.
This week the planting of the fall
bean crop is under way and another
run on this crop is also in line. Pos
sibly spinach will also be processed

Local Men Do Stunts
Before Newsreel Camera

If you go to the Yakima fair the
latter part of this month, be sure To
take in the moving picture program in
the horticultural building. The show
will be free and is being put on as q
special attraction. The program is q
comedy or tragedy-as it happens to
appeal to you. The actors are all
prominent citizens from the various
towns of the valley.
K. R. Northy, representing the Yak.
ina Junior Chamber of Commerce,
which is running the fair this year,
and Joe Yolo, photographer, were in
Kennewick yesterday, taking movies
of the towns citizens. Mayor Alfred
Anon, Prosecutor Charles L. Powell
C. A. Crawford, president of the
chamber of commerce, M. M. Moulton
and the local editor were all "mug
ged" in various actions.
If you go to Yakima, be sure to see
this reel. It'll be funny enough, no
doubt, to repay you for your trouble.
