own, the Progressive Miners of
America. But how badly they we're
fooled is seen by the miners more
plainly every day, when they can't
express their thoughts here any
more freely than they would in the
United Mine Workers of America.
In the P M. A. Orient No. 2
local recently, a few Of the blind
Pearcy followers tried very hard to
have two Of their local members
removed from the local relief COM
mittee, The charges were so fool
ish that their scheme failed. Not
satisfied. these same people are
passing a petition around for the
same purpose again, and forcing
the miners of the local to sign
against these two members. by
threatening to stop relief for those
refusing to sign. calling them SYM
pathizers of the left-wingers. and
have even gone so far as to threaten
some of the members with knives;
all because these two miners have
voiced their resentment against the
present P. M. A. officials policy of
doing nothing for the miners.
Instead of militant strike action
and class struggle program, the
P. M A. officials are outbidding
Lewis in knavery.
The only course left for the
miners is unity of both the U. NJ
w. A. and P. w. A. rank and file,
and to go no further with the pro-
gram of action which was drawn up
at the Illinois Rank File Confer
ence in Springfield, March 18th.

Relief Officials in
Alabama Fight Union
By Starving Miners

By a Mine Worker Correspondent
FAIRFIELD, Ala.-The bosses are
starving the workers to get them to
tear up, their check-off cards. All
the Tennessee Coal and Iron Co.
mines are all closing down Satur-
day, and this is facing the workers
to tear up their check-off cards,
Why? Because the boss won't give
them relief until they tear up their
cards at all T. G. I. mines.

Relief Bureau Leaves
Employe Without Teeth
By a Worker Correspondent


NEW YORK.-Julius Tanner, age
so, an employe of the Emergency
Home Relief Bureau, Precinct No
IS, Bronx, located at 18Th Street
and Webster Avenue, had been re-
ferred to the Temporary Emer-
gency Relief Administrator Dental
Clinic for treatment of his teeth.
They proceeded to extract all of
his teeth, promising to provide him
with false set of teeth after his
gums we're healed. Six months
later Mr.. Tanner, after suffering
untold tortures Of starvation and
inability to disgest his food properly
due to lack of teeth to chew with,
returned for his promised teeth He
was told that they had failed to
appropriate enough money for such
an expenditure, so therefore Mr..
Tanner will be obliged to trust to
the Lord that he be able to grow
new set of teeth at the age of sixty

Back to the Capitalist Country

I have been in the Soviet Union
for about a year and I saw the
difference between a workers coun-
try and capitalist country. I have
gone to school there (Anglo-Amer-
lean SCHOOL,. They teach you there
different than here. Over there
they teach us working class history
and workers fight to free the world
from capitalist slavery. They also
teach us about the October Revo-
luton and about our beloved Red
Army. The defender of the work
ers' fatherland and so forth. 1t is
so interesting, you feel t h t
this is the truth. You surely feel
different in the American School
not fairy tale. You know that
where they teach you lot of bunk
and where they try to poison the
workers children's mind with all
kinds of fairy tales. Like everybody
has a chance in this country to be-
come q President and so forth.
Some children fall for that bunk.
1t is the duty of us Pioneers to con-
vince the children of the workers
that they are being fooled and mis-
led; that the only chance they will
have is to join the Y. P. A. and
fight together with their parents
for Soviet America.

DOG FANCIER PROTESTS

Editor Daily Worker.
Dear comrade:
AS a steady reader of the Daily
Worker, I hereby protest today's
cartoon by Burck picturing the So
cialist Severing as a dog getting a
bone from the fascist table.
Conlrade, this is a great injustice
to the dogs, and entirely too flatter-
ing to Severing. Dogs are the most
faithful Of all animals and mans
best friends. I feel that a snake
bearing the name of Socialist Sever
ing on its fangs would have been
more to the point-Justitia Omni-

THE Fight AGAINST THE HIGH
COSTS OF LIVING IN
BROWNSVILLE

~ These are stirring times in
Brownsville as well as in the Bronx,
as far as the struggle against the
high cost of living is concerned. An
effort to force the Borden and
Sheffield Companies to reduce the
price of milk and dairy products
is in progress there as we'll as in
the Bronx. The Brownsville house
wives, under the leadership of that
section of the Women's Councils,
have stopped buying the milk Of
these two companies.
Open air meetings have been held
to familiarize workers Of the neigh
borhood with the struggle. Agents
Of the companies came to the
women and asked them why they
were making so much fuss!-and if
the price Of milk would come down
a cent, would they please stop all
tbs agitation? !
Sour cream was actually dropped
from 10 cents per measure to 8
cents. That helps, but the battle
is not won yet, so a big demonstra-
ton is being planned to demand
support of all the Brownsville
women. This is scheduled for Bris-
tel and Suffer Avenues, Wednesday,
April Is at p. m. All mass or

SOME GOOD PAMPHLETS ON
THE SOVIET UNION
New York CITY

INV I u y NIUVs
am very much interested in
getting a real knowledge of the gen.
eral government and economic ma
chinery of the Soviet Union. But on
account of the large number of
books on the subject that confuse
and SANDER Rnd misrepresent, I
have trouble in finding one that is
really honest and accurate. I should
be therefore very grateful to you if
you would recommend to me the
best and latest writings on the
matter.
I shall be looking every day into
your paper for an answer to my
request.

IF YOU DRINK, YOU'D
BETTER NOT DRIVE
AUTO UNTIL SOBER

Drunkenness has been the down.
fall of many but the fall will be
all the harder to take if you are
caught driving a motor vehicle on
the highways while intoxicated for
the result will be the loss of your
privilege to drive the car for a
period as will be prescribed, ac-
cording to the particular case.
During the month of April, says
a highway bulletin, 141 automo-
bile drivers lost their right to OPP
crate motor vehicles on Minnesota
highways. Loss of license was
due in most cases to- conviction on
charges of drunken driving, while
some suspensions were made for
hit-and-run offenses and reckless
driving. The licenses were re-
called FOR periods ranging from a
few weeks to year or more, de-
pending on the offense.
All justices of the peace and
other courts are required by law
to report to the highway commits
SiOner all convictions under mo-
tor vehicle laws.

ENTHUSIASM SHOWN
AT FL. MEETINGS

Many meetings are being conducted
over the county by the various Farm
er-LabOr clubs, and on those Chair
man E. J. Prochaska of Pine City re-
ports in the following words:
Meetings of local FarmerLabor
clubs in the last few days have been
attended by large crowds. Women
are showing great deal of interest
and large numbers are present at
the various gatherings. The Pokeg-
ANA club met Saturday evening in
Henriette. Among the speakers were
Guy Mower, east of Pine City, and
Chas. j. Swanson, candidate for rep
resentative. This club will have
meetings every week from now until
after the primary election.
The Rock Creek club met at the
John Johnson home Monday evening.
A large number of speakers were
present and took part in the program
Violin selections were rendered by
Mr.. Martinson. The next meeting OF
this club will be held at the Arthur
Peterson home east of Rock Creek.
"The Sandstone club will meet Fri
day evening of this week at the 1. O.
G. T. hall in that village.
"The county central committee will
meet Saturday evening in the I. o. G.
T. hall, Sandstone. Many clubs have
elected two members to this commit
tee and they are urged to be present
at the meeting. Clubs that have not
selected members are requested to
send their club chairman and secre-
taries. An invitation is being eX-
tended to c. Elmer Johnson of Chi
sage county, and if he can be pres
ent at this meeting it will afford
Farmer-Labor supporters an oppor-
tunity to meet their candidate fol
state senator. 1t is Mr.. JohnsOn's in
tentiOn to speak in various parts OF
the county during the primary cam
paign."

of Yemen and is now marching toward
Sana, the capital of that country,
whose ruler-there called imam in
stead of kings reported to nave
either committed suicide or been muir
dered by his own men.
Ibn Saud's ambition is to become
ruler of all Arabia; to consolidate the
various countries now existing on the
Arabian peninsula. But Great Britain,
France, and Italy have already signi
fled their intention of ,thwarting that
purpose, and to enforce warnings,
cOuched i'm diplomatic terms, have
sent war vessels and airplanes to Red
Sea ports, Ostensibly to protect our
nationals and their Interests"
Which is merely another way of re-
affirming great-power imperialistic
principles and demands.
Rigorous Methods.
Blessings of dictatorship are illu-
strated i'm couple of interesting re-
ports; one comes from Berlin and is
to the effect that persons who are
audacious enough to criticize the
Hitler government may he found
guilty of high treason and executed;
the Other-frOm ROme-says that
business men who charge their GUS
toners higher prices than those fixed
by the Italian government scale will
have their doors padlOcked by the
police and thus will find it impossible
to carry on their trade, unless they
declare themselves willing to obey the
MuSSOlini mandates.
Kings Death.
Early this week the British Lieu
tenant-COlOnel G. S. Hutchinson. ere
ated quite a sensation when he pub
licly said that the death of King AL
bert of Belgium was due to murder,
not, as it has been stated, to an &C
cident while he was mountaineering
near Brussels. The Belgian as well
as the British government character
ize the story as absolutely untrue and
the Belgian officials base their char
acteriZatiOn of it on the fact that the
manner of the kings death has been
so very thoroughly investigated as TO
leave no room for doubt.

and gained a wide knowledge of eX

Taxation is our biggest problem
today. Our tax laws do not fit thu

changed so that the farmer and rea
estate owner can save and maintain
his property. We must enact law!

ponds largely on the success of the
farmer and until we elect such rep
resentatives from agricultural dis
tricts to represent our interest in oul
