BUSINESS NOTES
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 16.-Mail orders
reaching this market were fairly nu-
merous the past week, but fell below
expectations on volume orders CEN
tered largely on films on millinery,
underwear, hosiery, linen ready-to-
wear, white coats and sheer and print
dresses.
Reports to the Millinery Code Au-
thority from retailers regarding the
results of the Summer hat opening
last week indicated gains ranging
from 20 to 10 per cent in sales.
Efforts of hardware manufacturers
to establish a 10 per cent price in
crease on lawn mowers are said to
have proved unsuccessful due to the
heavy stocks purchased by jobbers
earlier in the year.
Trading in the gray goods market
has again turned quiet. There have
been few calls for limited quantities
of 39-inch 80-squares at 834 cents and
for 3815 Inch 6-48s at 55s cents, but
they were mainly for immediate re-
placement needs.

PEOPLES FORUM
APPRECIATION FROM
HENRY L. DOHERTY

L. p. Artman, Editor,
The Citizen,
Key West, Fla.
Dear Mr.. Artman:
Now that the Birthday Ball for
the President has come to sue
cessful conclusion, / feel that
would be remiss in closing this ac-
tivity unless took opportunity TO
express to you the appreciation of
the National Committee for al
that you and your associates have
done in making this success pos
sible.
OF course, no social event is a
real success without the coopera-
ton of the press, but in this par
ticular case the newspapers of the
country played a much greater
role than the invaluable one Of
acquainting all of their readers
with the event.
Over 5000 local committees
throughout the country were or
ganized in practically five weeks.
Mr.. Carl Ryoir, the general direc-
tor of the National Committee,
tells me that this record of organ
izatiOn would have been absolute
ly impossible except for the fact
that the local chairmen, almost
without exception, were nominat-
ed by the local newspaper publish
ers. Thus We were able to en-
list, almost instantly, chairmen
who had the support and conf
dence of their community.
| think the most heartening fact
developed by this campaign was
that. without a single exception,
the newspapers of this country,
both daily and weekly, Joined in
organizing and supporting this
great humane work. This is prob
ably the first time in the history
OF our country that a nationwide
organization has been effected
through the medium of the press
although, of course. the newspa-
pers of the country have frequent
" given unstintingly of their space
to many charitable causes,
As soen as returns from local
committees are complete and have
been audited by a firm of nation
ally known certified public &C,
countants. full detailed informa.
ton will be furnished the public
through the press so that all may
know the extent of the success o.
the Birthday Bah.
Il has been real inspiration &c
me TO have been associated with
you in this work and | just vans
You to know that I feel very deep.
" that You can always have a just
pride in having played so import
ant part in the fight against
infantile paralysis.
Sincerely yours.
HENRY L. D0HERTY.

Fascism and Civil
Liberties
By ROGER N. BALDWIN

Director of the American Civil Liberties Union
Resistance to the onslaughts on rights OF
workers to organize, strike and picket is not
yet nearly adequate. During the last year and
a half of the New Deal, employers have Organiz-
ed an unprecedented attack on workers rights
through company unions vigilantes the use of
troops prosecutions and private gunner. While
the labor movement and the radical political
parties always had to face violence and inter
ference, they are confronted today with vastly
more than in any recent period This is due to
the implied encouragement of the New Deal to
the organization of labor with its immediate
cOunterresistance by employers
This movement has become in many locali-
ties so pronounced as to merit the term fas-
esm. 1t is still local fascism-that it, the rule
of property interests by lawless violence direct
ed against the working class This is the heart
of fascsm as expressed in European movements.
Around its fringes are the various shirt Or
CARNATIONS committed to a fascist dictatorship
but still confined chiefly to foreign speaking
groups and isolated sections of the country.

United Front Imperitive
y MARGARET Delay

Among the most effective speakers at the
U. S. Congress Against War and Fascism was a
Mrs. Barr of Milwaukee who was among the
American delegation to the International WO-
mems Congress in Paris. Mrs. Barr had gone to
Germany and brought direct word from German
women who know Fascism in its worst form.
She quoted German woman who mOurned at
the grave of son killed by Fascist torture:
7 sit here in shame and sorrow and bitter
self condemnation We refused to listen to
those who told of the danger of Fascism. We
who would not unite then are responsible for
the torture and death of our loved ones. Take
this message to the women of America: Choose
your time for a United Trout. II you do not
unite now while there is yet time you will have
the kind of a United Front we have now. oh
yes, we have United Front-a United Front
of the prison and concentration camp, of tor
ture and pain, of bullet and bayonet." 5000 .-..

The standard of living for
workers and farmers is easily
1000 per cent higher than it it
was under the Tsarist terror,
and in some cases, the longshOre-

working and living conditions
are better than those of their

The Labor" News

The State Labor News in it's editorial COM
ment of September % viciousy attacks the
Voice of Action on the Library Police-Budget
Reduction story in the September 81 issue.
First it calls the Voice of Action the local
organ of the Communist Party" This is not
true and the Labor News knows it is not true
The Voice of Action is trade union paper and
unemployed paper, the organ Of the Unemploy-
ed Citizens League, the Washington State Com
mittee Of Action, the National Lumber Workers
Union and the Fishermen and Cannery Workers
Industrial Union.
Second, an attack on the Voice of Action,
charging "wilful distortion OF the truth" and
implied "hypocracy" in it's presentation of labor
news smells pretty badly coming from the
Labor News. "Of by and for organized labor"
which did its best ali during the longshore
strike to ignore the longshoremen's struggle
and sabotaged on every possible occasion the
rank and files efforts toward united front
And this type of yellow journalism is typ
zeal of the State Labor News-is the major
plank of its program "for" labor at all times
The capitalists could wish for nothing more to
their interest than thousand such labor pub
lications In the United States-provided they
had any rank and file following, which the
State Labor News hasn't.
As for the library-police budget-reduction
story the Voice of Action interviewed Mr. Jen-
nings, city librarian and got the facts from
him. At that time he, and the entire library
staff from his secretary to the part-time pages,
believed the budget was going to be cut as Mr..
Jennings had officially stated. The library bud
get cut was revised later, after the Voice of
Action had published what was then the situa-
ton.

The Farmers and the
New Deal
BY CASEY BoSKALJoN
Secretary Washington State
United Farmers League

The New DEAL promises have not helped the
farmers, but have only forced us to a still lower
standard of living The AAA destruction pro-
gram of killing millions of cattle, hogs, sheep, and
the blowing under of one third of the cotton
and grain crops while millions of unemployed
in cities slowly starve, while the milk and cream
checks the famer gets do not improve, only feed
and grain we have to buy goes up-ths does
not help anyone.
The adoption of the Farmers Emergency Re
lief Bill 1867" now in Congress will bring relief
of the debt burdened American farmer. To get
this bill passed We must increase our fight a
thousandfold. Copies of this bill may be gotten
from Farmers National Weekly, 1917 South Loo
mis- St., Chicago, Ill.
The State Convention of the UFL taking place
Oct 10 and IA in Riverside Commercial Club hall,
Everett, will take up the drive for 1000 dues
paying members and the 100 per cent fulfillment
of the quota set by the Farmers National Weekly
drive for 5000 new subscribers. Every farmer,
member of the UFL or not, should assist to
make this drive successful.

Seattle's Slurns

In Seattle something interesting and unusual
happened in September. The U. S. Bureau of
foreign and Domestic Commerce made survey
of the citys housing accommOdatiOns-the first OF
series of such surveys that will cover the larger
cities of the country Even more interesting is
the fact that the survey was published. But
most interesting of all is the fact that the survey
frankly discoses to the public eye conditions of
poverty and degradation such as few comfortable
members of the middle class would ever suspect
existed.
The SNUG illusion Of prosperity that lasted
until fateful 80 is scoOped into the proverbial
cooked hat by figures that show building con-
struction expenditures for the five years ending
in 1929 to have been One-half the figure for the
first half of that decade.
But let us have facts and figures. 10 per cent
of the citys population is admitted to be living
in inadequate housing space" probably the
proportion is much more. We doubt if the in
vestigatOrs had more than nodding acquaint-
ance with HOoverville). 2ll0 homes (of' the total
of 135,6O9l were rated as unfit for human use.
6471 families have gone home to mama, or
are in other ways sharing living quarters. This
causes house vacancy figure of 1870 units for
the city.
OF the houses that are inhabited" more than
10000 are rated as crowded" q to 2 persons
per room, "over-crowded" e. to per room)
greatly overcrowded" g or more people per
by means small.
With an early winter in the offing, is it any
consolation to know that 231 families in the city
are ENTIRELY without heating facilities OF any
kind. In this land of high mountains and blue
waters 5l13 families have no running water in
their "houses." Worse still, in this modern" city
13,947 "homes" have NO indoor toilet accomod-
atoms While 1884 have indoor lavatories, $780, 3,
341, A. and 17S have or MORE.
To the SNUG and respectable" cleanliness may
be next to Goodness; but two families in 1883
(often 2 families to housed are not encouraged
to know it. That many families are without bath
tubs or showers of any kind is not surprising. But
1855 houses are blessed with 2 tubs or showers,
while 755 have or MORE.
With relief at $1.30 a week per person land
funds still being cut), the houses of the masses
of the people are rapidly slipping back into the
jungle. Hooverville is fast claiming its own.
A fight for adequate housing is prime ne
cessity.

Herndon. s cents. Both at the
Workers Book Shop.

"Mr. President: Free the
Scottsboro Boys" should be a
powerful weapon in forcing the
freedom of the ScOttsbOrO boys
from the clutches of the ruling
class-if the masses support it's
sale in the proper way. With an
excellent preface by Theodore
Dresser, the Pamphlet recounts
the visit of the ScottsbOrO moth
ers to President Roosevelt and
his refusal to see them, their
written plea that was sent to
him, the court and other dOcu-
mentary evidence that has been
sent to the president which
shows beyond all doubt the in
justice of keeping them in prison
longer, the precedent President
Wilson set in getting Moneys
sentence committed to imprisOn-
ment, and letters of protest sign
ed by leading men and women
OF many nations.
But the best written pamph-
let of them all is the life story of
Herndon written by himself. In
clear and simple and inspiring
language Angelo Herndon tells
his heroic story. 1t should appeal
alike to workers and intellect
uals, with it's straight forward
and clear cut manner of writing.
The whole thing is well done.
Very well done. But the last four
pages is especially well done. If
Angelo can speak with the power
and eIoquence that he displays in
those last pages, he is indeed
rare speaker. And only 81
years old. I can hardly conceive
of better propaganda among
both workers and intellectuals
than this booklet, you cannot
kill the working class"
