an excellent basis for a four or five

published about four years ago but
little known and still less studied
and used for practical guidance in
issuing shop papers. These two
manuals are well suited for full

and provision should be made for
the special summer courses and for
the opening of the schools in the
fall for courses using these two
manuals as text books.

TerrOrize Workers
On Job In Drive.
To Spread Hunger
By a Worker CORRESPONDENT

ST. LOUIS, Mo.-At 1890 pm,
May 9, Mrs. Moser, Supervisor Of the
Citizens Committee on Relief and
Employment, received a committee
from the League of Struggle for
Negro Rights which presented the
case Of Mrs. Lula johnson, a widow
with three children, 2916 Dickson
st. Mrs. Johnson had been seek
ing relief for about three years, and
had received only one small grocery
order and a few bushels of coal.
and was badly in need of food The
bureau has tried continually to
snatch the children away from
their mother.
When Mrs. Johnson first applied
for relief, the officials of the Re
lief Bureau framed up a fake charge
Of incompetence against Mrs. John
son, and had her summoned into
court. The judges decision was
that "the children should remain in
Mrs. Johnson's care. and the relief
bureau should give them food" The
bureau demagogioally said that they
felt sympathy for her, and gave her
the one order, and haven't given
her any more since.
Mrs. Moser told the L. s. N. R..
Committee that Mrs. Johnson's case
had been closed, and the relief
bureau had no interest in the case
whatever. She said the bureau
records show that Mrs. Johnson's
mother was earning S85 month
working at a school building, and
that the relief bureau demanded
that Mrs. Hardy feed, clothe and
shelter Mrs. johnson and her three
children.
Mrs. MoSer was asked by the COM
mittee, how did the bureau figure
that Mrs. Hsrdy's income is enough
for her to take care of her own
family of five end Mrs. johnson snd
her three children. She stated the
welfare worker went and took over
the workers previous clinic record
to see how much an unemployed
worker should eat.
The Committee found that the
bureau did not compile any records
on Mrs. Hardy's income and ex-
penditure in her presence, or in the
presence of any Of her family. But
the committee did find that Mrs.
Harris and Mrs. Pernen had
visited Mrs. Hardy's home and the
school where she works and abruptly
threatened to make her lose her Job
on several occasions If she did not
take Mrs. Johnson and her three
children and care for them.

FARMS AND THE WOMEN

Just as we are in the midst OF the
discussion about farms and women,
out comes a fine pamphlet hot off

mostly among farm women, but
whether farm or not, their problems
are every woman's problems as far
as the class issue is concerned" Yes,
in a general way, that's true. Many
farm women, however, have a
harder lot than city women. They
have usually special grievances, the
discussion OF which furnishes a
starting point for organization.
Such grievances are mentioned in
the ION the Farms" section Of
Women Who Work" In it is the

How difficult it is for the farm
worker to keep the house and
family clean is shown by the fact
that only 1873 per cent of the farms

There exists among some city
jewellers the pleasant delusion that
farms are practically self-sufhcient,
that one can raise all one needs"
What fallacyl Not only is there
a constant need for farm imple-
ments and machinery and parts for

They then sent us to Sumatra,
Florida. The first day we got there,
the Captain and the Forest Super
intendent told us what they ex-
pected of us, and told us what would
happen if we didn't obey them.
They sent us out to work in the
blistering heat which was always
over 100 degrees and made us work
nine full hours a day. They also
made us work Saturday. When we
tried to take a rest while working,
we were reported by the squad lead
ers of the forestry service.
After the first day, organized a
group trying to get the boys better
conditions. They told us they would
give us a 10 minute smoking period
every hour and that the b1sses
wouldn't slave-drive the fellows any
more. They did it only for one day
and then they refused to give it to
the boys any more.
When I tried to argue with the
captain about the conditions he
laughed at me. I was then threat
ened by a few southerners.

refused to work and I was dishonor-

peddling the Daily Worker around.
Sorry don't know how to help
more from in here; this place is
worse than a Jail or a penitentiary
in many ways as bad as Bedlam in
England. except that we have no
rats but instead have cockroaches,
flsh-moths, chiggers and mice that
crawl into bed with lis.
Most Of the states own employees
are paid only $50 or slightly more
a month, and work u hours a day
8 cents an hour, and N. r. A. did
nothing for them. They all hate
their bosses and most of them are
now favorable to the Communists.
They have now started to transfer
