WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. o.
The reorganization of the MIRA
to conform more closely to plans of
fascist-minded top industrialists of
American capitalism began today
with the installation of two new
Roosevelt appointed boards, and
with Donald r. Richbe-g, key man
in the new set-up, again declaring
publicly, Eyes, this is a counter
revolutionary program, absolutely"
Richaerg, former railway labor
lawyer and recently chief counsel
of NR,A. and the alter-ego of the
late administrator, Generl Hugh S.
johnson, is one of five officials
named as the new industrial policy
committee. This group will be the
Legislative" branch of the new deal
under the reorganization. 1t will
formulate policies concerning both
the MIRA. and other new deal
agencies. 1t will work pretty much
by star-chamber procedure, as Rich
berg clearly indicated today when
he declared that he would not hold
regular press conferences, and the
actions of the policy committee
would become public largely when
they are executed by other agen-
cies"
Other members of the Richbefg
Committee are Harold L. Ickes, Sec
cretary of Interior; Frances Perkins,

Action Urged
In Chicago
Daily Drive
BY Bill Gebert
Organizer, District 8, Chicago

An indispensable weapon in the
struggles of all workers, impover-
iShed farmers, Negro people and
the unemployed, organized and I'M
organized, throughout The country.
This aptly describes the Daily
Worker, particularly in the states of
Illinois and Indiana.
In these states the Daily Worker
has been the only guide to isolated
groups of workers and to individual
workers, helping to develop their
struggles correctly.
That is why, in the drive for the
100000 sustenance fund for the
Daily Worker, we have full con-
f1dence that the quota of $500
for District 8, can be more easily
reached than ever before.
But if we are to secure it
quickly, we must Immediately
begin to work more vigorously
than at present! Thus far, with
month of the drive gone, we
have contributed less than 1000.
Chicago must set itself to go over
the top ahead of all other dis
tricts. This can be done only if
we work ceaselessly and properly.
The real problem in securing the
quota here is not only to appeal to
the closest organizations and SYM
pathizers of our movement and the
Daily Worker. but, more, to organ
ize our forces to reach thousands
of workers for contributions.
In short, the drive for funds fol

learned yesterday at the offices of
The New York Shipping Associa-
ton. The present contract with
The I. L. A. expires tomorrow.
After an all day conference at the
Maritime Association Building, 80
Bread Street, the shippers decided
that the lockers were to remain
at work until Presidents Roosevelt's
arbitration board on The West Coast
submits its report. After the re-
port is submitted, negotiations on
the Atlantic Coast will be resumed
with the understanding that what
ever the results of such negotiations
will be, it shall be retroactive to
October 1st, the shippers state.
Officers of the New York Shipping
Association claimed the leaders OF
the International Longshoremen'S
Association have accepted the pro-
posal Of the shippers. Joseph Ryan,
president of the I. L. A. could not
be reached for confirmation or
denial of the shippers assertion.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. %
Assurance that any negotiations
on the scheduled marine strike
will be held only with representa-
tives of the Marine Workers In
dustrial Union present was given
today by high N. r. A officials to
an M w. I. U. delegation headed
by Roy Hudson, national secretary
Six officials of the N. R. A
Shipping Section, topped by Deputy
Administrator Leighton PEBBLES, re-
aeived the union delegation and
heard their declaration that they
viii not permit any back-door
negotiations between Government
and shipowner representatives and
labor takers to Interfere with strike
preparations,
I'VE were assured that we will be
notified of and invited to any con-
ferences, negotiations, etc, in con-
nection with the strike" Hudson
said after the conference. But we
will continue to watch out for
private confabs.
1--WE told the N. R. A. officials
that the only question is, Will the
shipowners meet the demands of
the Marine Workers before October
80 If they do not, the strike will
take place; and we are intensifying
strike preparations because we put
no confidence in negotiations, con-
ferences, etc"
With considerable glad-handling,
fhe N. r. A. officials greeted the
M.W.IU. delegates warmly and
made conciliatory inquiries con-
corning the strike demands, then
asked about the 4 7tive STRENGTH

that there is fight between

both unions have voted to strike
and the demands of both groups
are basically the same

 The work of the women behind both lines, replacing the men at their labors in factories and on farms, has been of incalculable as- sistance to both nations. But their attitude towards war is fundamen- tally the same as that of their sis- ters in other lands and climes. They weep stoically, bravely, rath- proudly when their sons, husbands and sweethearts march away. And joyfully when they return.
 If they don't return, well-"Pa- ciencia" (have patience) the Para guayan and Bolivian women say. And some S0,0O0, it is estimated unofficially, will never return.
 If the Bolivians are expelled from the Chaco, the girls of Con- cepcion, Paraguay, who vowed to use no rouge or lipstick until the land is freed of the enemy, can once again begin to beautify themselves as they did before the war. When the war ends, they can go back to their dances and parading around the town plaza. after Pedro and Rancho come marching home again.
 Their attitude meanwhile is typ ical of the entire population of both lands-the war must be won at any cost.

Buenos Aires. Argentina, Dec 19. are suffering and dy- ing by thousands in the Chaco as Bolivians and Paraguayans ham, mer at each other in conflict as terrible, in miniature, as the World war.
 The lessons of modern means of slaughter learned in Europe are being followed, and even the tac- tics of the French and German armies are copied, Bolivia using the German method and Paraguay the French.
 At the start of the war, it. was not organized on such a scale and the fighting was comparatively simple--bu1lets and knives. Now, with the Paraguayans pressing hard towards Bolivian soil, artil- lery and machine guns and air. plane bombs work terrible havoc in the major engagements.
 The fighting has been fierce through the war. Although suffer- ing reverses lately, the Bolivians achieved many brilliant victories in past engagements as the tide of battle flowed back and forth among the forts dotting the forests, plains and swamps of the 00,000-square mile area. Their defense of Fort Ballivian recalled France at Yer dun.
 The hardy, Bolivian soldiers of Indian type who comprise large part of the Bolivian army have had to overcome a decided disad- vantage in the climate. They arc from the high Bolivian mountain country, unusued to the low alti- tude and the steaming, enervating heat of the lowlands in the sum- mer.
 The Paraguayans are from the lowlands and used to the climate. They are mostly of Indian, Span are lighter m color than the Bo- lands having been more attractive to European immigrants than the Bolivian mountain towns.

 The drill-clad Paraguayans and the khaki-uniformed Bolivians have faced each other from oppo- site trenches at times as near as six paces together. Both sides be- came exhausted. Sleep was im- possible because of the terrible heat and the droves of mosquitoes and other insects, poisonous rep tiles and creeping things. Netting seldom proved effective.
 In addition, because of the closeness of the enemy, neither side dared to rest for fear of being
