State Council
BOdyIs SetUp
InNeWMexicO

SANTA FE, N. NJ, Nov. Ii
Giant strides we're recorded in the
work of the New Mexico Unemploy-
ment Councils at its state conven-
ton held here last week.
The delegates represented sixteen
organizations. Upon their arrival
for the two-day session, they pre-
scented demands for food, shelter
and gasoline from the State Bureau
Of Child Welfare Estate Relief Ad-
ministration0. Jail were offered the
women delegates for sleeping quar-
tiers, and no food or gasoline. The
committee refused to yield, and
finally wrung all demands from the
relief office.
Carl Howe was elected chairman
Of the newly-formed State Unem-
ployment Councils. Other function
aries are: Jose de Baca, vice-chair-
man; Harry Mavrogenis, organizer;
William Gonzales, Spanish-spsaEilg
organizer; R. M. Gose, secretary;
Hazel Richards, treasurer. Three
delegates were elected to the Ma
tional Congress on Unemployment
Insurance to be held in Washing
ton on Jan. 5, 6 and 7.
The discussion and the declara-
ton Of demands formulated at the
convention as the basis of a pro-
gram of action list fifteen points.
Declaring solidarity and unity of
interest between the employed and
unemployed, the Council delegates
demand repeal of the State sales
tax. A petition will be circulated
for such repeal, with taxation on
incomes in the higher brackets for
financing relief. The convention
endorsed the Workers Unemploy-
r1ent Insurance Bill and planned
campaign for obtaining wide sup
port among the working population.
Payment Of the bonus in full is also
demanded
A continued fight against evic-
tions, foreclosures and tax sales was
planned, and a fight for recognition
of all committees of unemployed
and relief workers will be projected.
Free hot lunches, clothing, text
books and transportation for school
children, live stock feed to impov-
erished farmers, and free and ade-
quate medical and dental aid to
all unemployed is demanded.
Pending enactment Of the Work
ers' Unemployment Insurance Bill
the Councils demand weekly cash
relief of $40, plus SO for each de-
pendent, to be paid all unemployed
workers and poor farmers and to
employed workers earning less than
that amount.

Daily Worker DriUe
Letters Reveal Vide
Hatred for New Deal
Correspondence of Impoverished Farmers and
JObless Workers Tells of Suffering

What workers throughout the
country really think of the New
Deal policies Of the Roosevelt wall
Street government is sharply re-
vealed in the steady stream of let
ters accompanying donations to the
Daily Worker 100000 fund.
The eegsrness of workers and
farmers to support the Daily
Worker, which far exceeds their
ability to do so in most cases, causes
the contributors to take stock of
their financial conditions and to
write unsolicited but moving ex-
plantations of why they are unable
to give mere. The vast majority of
such letters place the blame for the
straitened financial circumstances
of their authors squarely on the
New Deal.
Whether they are farmers under
the yoke of the Agricultural Ad-
justment Administration or jobless
workers on forced labor projects of
the Federal Emergency Relief Adj
ministration, they all agree in their
hatred of the New Deal
Enclosed find fifty cents in a
money order as a donation to the
Daily Worker" writes Saul Fried
man, of Holly Hill, South Caro-
lima.
Things look mighty gray
around here. The A. A. A. has
made walking shadows out of the
farming population. 1t exprOpri-
ates, through the cotton tax, the
average farmer, especially the
poorer one, down to his overalls
and his work shirt. Long live the
Daily W0rker!"
From the Sloan family, of Oliver,
Illinois, comes another expression of
what is really happening under the
New Deal.
Enclosed is one dollar. Accept
this as our bit to keep the Daily
Worker in the hands of the work
ers. Conditions are hellish bad
among the farmers in this local
ity. Long live the Daily Worker
and the Soviet Union"
Emily T. Sanford, living on a
ranch near Smartville, Cal, sends
five dollars and another bit of
damning testimony against the
policies of Franklin D. Roosevelt

back dues, besides the forty dollar
assessment that was paid by the
entire membership. The sum the
officials of the local accumulated
was so enormous that after settling
huge debts, contracted by paying
the Orloffsky- Beckerman gang and
using up tens of thousands of dol
lars for banquets and parties, etc.,
they still retained fifty thousand
dollars clear cash in the treasury.
The New Deal certainly benefited
the officials.
Elections Abolished
However, there was still the DOS
sibility that in the coming elections
some other faction might win Offices.
And so these officials abolished the
elections. This is how they did it:
One of the sharpest grievances of
the workers now is the temporary
card system, whereby unemployed
union members are assigned to jobs
which may last day or a season,
depending upon how they please
the boss or how well the union Of
ficials like them. These temporary
workers, therefore, work like mad in
a desperate effort to please every
body, and in that way act as pace
settlers for the most intensive
speed-up throughout the shops.
Not only are these temporary men
opposed to this system because of
their uncertain position, but the
other workers, too, would like to see
it abolished in favor of the earlier
practice of setting a man to work
in shop, and, if the boss is salts
fled with his work, making him a
full-fledged permanent worker.
The union officials called a
special meeting, just before election
time, thickly sprinkled with their
reliable supporters, and declared
that, inasmuch as the workers were
satisfied with the present admins
tration, it would only be q waste of

cutting jobs offered at coolie rates
of pay.
During the harvest seasons in
cotton, sugar, rice. and other agri-
cultural products, relief is not given
to rural workers whether expert
enced in these pursuits or not.
While it is true that the F.E.R.A.
has been paying 30 cents an hour
to rural workers, the unemployed
were not given enough work to al
low them to make more than IL
cents a day in some cases. In one
instance the Unemployment Coun-
Gil noted a condition prevalent
throughout the rural areas. An I'M
employed worker received $2.40 for
ten-day period-24 cents for a
man and wife a day He is per-
mitted to work four days a month
at $1.8o a day. NO clothing or other
aid is furnished. In many cases
work is so far away that IS cents
must be spent for car-fare.
Primitive agricultural subsistence
farming is the aim Of the FER.A.,
Director Early announced last week.
THE future policy in this respect
is that rural residents with agricul-
tural experience, whether farmer,
farmland or casual laborer, if in
need of relief, shall, in order to have
his application seriously considered,
arrange for a piece Of land Of ade-
quate size to sustain his family, if
any" The individual must cultivate
the land for all his family needs,
EARLY explained. All loans for seed,
and other needs must eventually be
repaid to the F.E.R.A.

Relief Men
Win Right
To Organize

TUJUNGA, Cal, Nov. Ii. -
Fighting every step of the way
toward an organizational goal,
sERA workers on the Little Tliun-
ga job, No. 212, have finally estab-
hshed the right to write and dis
tribute leaflets urging the fo-ma-
ton Of job committee.
The first leahet resulted in the
dismissal of five men suspected Of
being Communists. Of these men,
only one had anything actually to
Go with the leaflets, and for want
ing a better excuse, three were dis
missed for smoking. OF these, two
10 not smoked
The second Ieafet brought out
these injustices and continued the
fight to organize. L. H. Purdy Of
Tujunga volunteered to distribute
the leaflets. He did this in the
morning and had distributed them
to tne men, when the ever present
stool-pigeon warned the ranger in
charge. At noon the matter came
to a head when Purdy challenger
the rangers authority to prevent
the distribution on the workers own
time Arriving at no conclusion ez-
cept. "there1l be none of these
damned leaflets distributed" Purdy
handed the ranger a leaflet and pro-
ceeded to distribute still further.
The ranger then leaped from the
car, grabbed Purdy by the shoulder
and told him that this would be
the last SERA job he would ever
have"
However, to avoid a frame-up,
Purdy insisted before witnesses
that the dismissal slip should read
dismissed for distributing leaflets
on his own time" The ranger
then ordered him to walk three
miles to the highway and there wait
for his usual transportation at
p. m.
Purdy refused believing that as
an American citizen, he had a right
in the National Forest. Later,
when the water truck was ready to
make another trip, the ranger again
told him to leave. He refused.
Losing his temper, the ranger
then attempted to remove him by
force. Purdy put passive resis-
lance which became more or less
energetic as the struggle proceeded.
Unable to handle him alone, the
ranger called for assistance. TWO
hangers-on started to help, when
the men who were watching from
the job, took a hand. Here they
came, pick and shovel in hand! Need
less to say, all efforts to physically
coerce PuTdy ceased at once.
AS last resort, the ranger
threatened jail, which was jumped
at enthusiastically daring the ran
ger to do so. In the last analysis,
the ranger did not have the quits to
carry out his threat. Purdy then
stayed on without molestation until
4 pm. when he went home by his
usual transportation.
The following day he went to the
San Fernando DPO, was reinstated
and filed charges against the ranger.
Among other things, accusing him
of being a direct threat of melting
to riot while he remains on the job.
AS result, the leaf1et went out
without nolestation or trouble. In
addition, many of the grievances are
being considered and the ranger
appears on the job for only a short
time each day.

Breach of Agreement
Charged by Workers

WASHINGTON, (F. P0--Charges
by striking employees of Glabman
Brothers, Inc, Chicago, that the

While declaring that there was
not evidence of bad faith" in the
Glabman case, despite breaches of
