THIEF RIVER FALLS, MINI
On May 26, 1884, the vacant lot
where they are going to build the
new Post Once here at Thief
River Falls, Minnesota, was crowded
With workers. farmers and business
people listening to Ed c. Bau-
mann, who is running for the
State Legislature from this district
On the Communist ticket. He
pointed out that the only solution
of these hard conditions under
which we live would be the revo-
lutionary way out, in line with our
Declaration of Independence, writ
ten by our farsightsd revolutionary
forefathers.
After Mr.. Baumann had talked
for about 80 minutes, A. c. Town
ley, a Farmer-Labor speaker sched-
uled to talk at the same time,
came driving past the crowd with
an amplifler on the top of his car
announcing that he would talk
from the corner of the Post Office,
and urged the crowd to come and
listen to him. The crowd was evil
IDENTIFY satisfied with Mr.. Bau-
mann's speech and remained where
they we're, until ToWnley came
back the second time and at
tempted to scatter the crowd.
When Mr.. Townley understood that
people did not care so much about
his Farmer-Labor talk, he came
back the third time and listened
to Mr.. Baumann until he had fin
ished his speech.
Communist Baumann challenged
Farmer-Labor Townley to debate
the issues with him. but Townley
did not feel just that way. While
Mr.. Townley was listening, Mr..
Baumann pointed out that the
Farmer-Labor party of Minnesota
was Just third capitalistic polit-
ical party run by Wall Street. He
also pointed out that the clubs
used by our Farmer-Labor Cover
nor Of Minnesota to club down the
striking drivers of Minneap-
oils we're made from the same
stuff and perhaps in the same
factory as the CLUBS Herbert
Hoover used to club down those
hungry people during the hunger
march to Washington, D. C.
Baumann ended his attack on
Governor Olson by saying, Il heart
lily endorse the spirit of the strik-
ers and wish them the best of
luck" When Mr.. Baumann was
through with his speech, he pointed
out what Mr.. Townley was going
to say when he got the floor, that
he would tell all our troubles with

BROOKLYN N. Y.-When a new
worker at H. Kirsch g. Co. Inc,
manufacturers of "Kirschs Bever-
ages" at 925 Flushing Ave, Brook
Ign, N. Y, discovered that men work
6 and a half days week, and from
II to IA hours day, he conflded to
another worker that he would ask
Jimmie Dudgeon to take action.
Jimmie Dudgeon is Secretary of
Local 345 of the A. F. of L.; the
Union to which soda water workers
belong. Nov what is the use of
telling Jimmie Dudgeon," replied
the older worker, don't you know
he won't do anything?" why won't
he, he's Secretary isn't he?" you'll
learn" grinned the older worker, as
he continued loading cases on a
truck.
The new worker did learn. He
learned that Jimmie Dudgeon was
once a soda water truck driver, who
became active in the A. F. of L. and
pulled down soft berth as Secre-
tary of the Local, at a salary of $50
week. He learned, too, that
Lyman Kirsch, the boss, lives in a
large and gaudy private house, with
two garages. His employees cannot
afford anything better than old
fashioned, cold water, n. r. flats.
Kirsch is especially facile in han
ding employees big promises and
small pay envelopes.
The Kirsch trucks are manned
with a driver and helper. Helpers
get soc. day, and when a helper
asks for more he is promptly fired
When this issue is raised at a union
meeting, or if worker raises the
question of the long grinding work

He nips these discussions in the bud
by reminding the workers that such
matters should be taken up at an
executive meeting; but at the ex-
ecutive meeting he closes the argu-
ment with promise to "investi-

known. They consist of meeting
between Kirscn and Dudgeon, III

AFL,SP Heads Join
Police Attacks On
Harp. Bros. Strike
By a Worker Correspondent

BROOKLYN, N. Y. - After a
militant struggle by workers of
Ksrp Bros, frat market at 65th st.
and Bay Parkway, Bklyn., Mr.. Karp
made a fake sale of the market to
Dicker Co. Inc. in an attempt to
stop these workers from picketing.
These men had been working for
Karp Bros. for quite some time IN
der most miserable conditions. They
had worked as many as 90 hours per
week, at a starvation wage. They
we're not class conscious but had
spontaneously revolted against Karp
Bros. and presented demands to
their bosses, especially stressing the
long hours, demanding g. instead of
90 hours per week. The bosses
listened attentively, but brazenly
rejected all demands.
The Karp Bros. workers were, i'm
mediately informed by some of our
comrades about Union conditions,
and were convinced to join the
Food Workers Industrial Union,
which would lead them in the
struggle against the brutal bosses.
They joined the union and declared
a strike.
When the workers commenced to
picket, Karp Bros. Immediately
signed up with the notorious local
338 A. F. L. Gangsters began to
terrorize the peaceful strikers on
the picket line, who were arrested
many times, one after the other,
under the charge of violating an in
junction. This injunction had been
acquired in 1892, when workers
struck in one of the former places
of Karp Bros. Apparently, the in
junction was powerless to stop the
determined strikers from picketing,
therefore the judge had to outlaw it.
The workers were again allowed
to picket, but we're terrorized by the
A. F. L. gangsters and gorillas with
the support of the police. In spite
of the brutality, the militant work
ers continued to picket, supported
by the G. P, as we'll as, by the
neighborhood workers. The G. P.
buttressed the strikers by means of
open-air meetings, and various af-
fairs, arranged through the work
ing class organizations, at which
funds were raised.
But we had to deal with the So
cialist leaders of Bensonhurst, When
we held an open-air meeting on one
corner, the Socialists held one on
the opposite corner. They have viii
fled the workers as Communist
trouble makers"

PARTY LIFE
By BEATRICE SHIELDS, Dist. 8


The National Convention of the
Party made various decisions on
the question of development of
cadres. The Importance of this
task cannot be stressed too strong
~. With the developing struggles,
the party is growing, and the
training of Party members to
assume leadership is burning
issue. In view of the situation, we
cannot be satisfied with the regu-
lar routine classes and District
and National Training Schools.
Our schools must be more concrete
and must answer and prepare
comrades for the immediate tasks
confronting them in their locality
in connection with trade union,
shop, unemployed work, etc., while
at the same time giving them firm
theoretic base for their work.
Since the National Convention,
the Chicago District has thorough
ly considered new methods for a
mass training of our cadres. At a
meeting with the Section agitprop
directors the proposal for system
Of training schools was accepted.
The method suggested was as fol-
lows: To conduct in each section
of concentration training schools
of about from Is to 80 comrades.
These schools to be conducted four
nights q, week to give the comrades
employed in the shops an oppor-
tunity to attend. The subjects
should consist of Principles of Com
munisn, Trade Unions. and Party
Organization. A program of prac-
tical work in addition is proposed.
The practical work will involve not
only the students in the school but
the entire party section. Comrades
attending the school will be sent
to various meetings with definite
instructions from the class as to
what to accomplish at these meet
ings. The results of the meetings
will be discussed by the students.
On Unit nights the students will
be sent to the units to lead dis
cussionS. The discussion will be
prepared beforehand by the school.
In this way the entire party will
be stimulated to political discus
sion, literature will be introduced
to the units, etc.
The cost of such schools will be
a minimum, since there is no ques-
ton of feeding or fare. The COM
rades all live in one locality, and
each section has one or two halls

comes too insistent, at union
meeting, Dudgeon brings him up on
charges.
The workers at Kirsch's have be-
gun to realize that Jimmie Dud-
geon's principal endeavor is to
safeguard his steady salary of $50
per week, and to continue his
pleasant job of comforting with
bosses behind closed doors. They
have begun to realize that the A.
F. of L., through Jimmie Dudgeon,
has really protected Kirsch from
the workers and not the workers
from Kirsch. and one by one they
have dropped from the Union, until
to-day there are only three union
members in his employ.
The A. F. of L. has treated Kirsch
very we'll indeed. In the 80 years
of his business he has had no
strike; he has cut wages and in
creased hours, without any serious
protest. In the season he takes on

But it will not remain so forever
The men are learning fast that the
bcss's house. and cars and trips tc
Europe are brought with the sweat
and blood of their labor. They
have learned, too that their faith in
the A. F. of L. has been misplaced
and sadly misused.
Some of them are thinking OF
Joining the Food Workers Industrial
Union. When they do, they will
have real rank and file leadership;
there will be no room for sleek, well
paid Jimmie Dudgeons, whose mair

THE BLESSINGS OF SCIENCE

THE BLESSINGS OF SCIENCE
A column presenting a rosy pic
ture Of the way the destitute are
dining these days appeared in the
New York Times of June 4. It gave
rations and menus for a family of
five as figured out by the Associa-
ton for the Improvement of the
Condition of the Poor. It was
shown how much better the desti-
tute are fed today than in 1847, in
which year, the article Solen1nly
points out, it was mot considered
wise to pamper and coddle the I'M
fortunate"
Now the diets of the destitute
are scientific, containing cabbage
and tomatoes. A century ago the
diet Of the destitute was scientific
ally unbalanced; today the num-
bers of the destitute have multi
piled many times, but their diet is
scientifically figured out Ito the last
fraction of calorie and the last
wisp of vitamin-content). That's
progress!
The first dinner menu given in
their weekly list: scalloped pota-
toes with onions and cheese, and
ginger bread. (Serve bread and
butter with all meals, says the re-
lease). Quantity of butter allowed
weekly: one pound. Spaghetti and
cheese, and creamed potatoes with
clleese-5auCe, are two more cheese
dishes on the weeks menus for the

there's the question of absorption of
metal from eating canned goods too
consistently: that's just another of
the hazards Of living in this glorious
pre-revolutionary era.
The continuous ding-donging
about minimum diets leads one to
wonder what the bosses, whose

days.

through your house and every cor
ner of it, to see what she can
find. AS she was to one woman's
house and saw that she had some
cans of spoiled food, this investi-
gator asked her if she could not
boil it up and put some more
sugar into it. This is what they
expect workers to do, to eat the
food that accidentally spoiled,
while the government permits the
ruling class to destroy tons of good
food.
And while the workers are not
getting sufficient relief here in this
town, different religious sects are
distributing tracts, all the time, in
order to bring into peoples minds
that it is God who is Furnishing
them for not being faithful to
their saviour, in order to keep
them from looking into the real
issue to find out that their proper
standard of living is being stolen
by such gods as Morgan and
Mellon.
