Live Stock Front
ORIENT, Wash.
Dear Comrades

Dear Comrades:
Just a little news from the live
stock front.
The herders and camp tenders
are receiving $50 per month and
board, which looks quite good
until you know the hours we
lput in. A sheep herder's day
starts at daylight in the morning
and ends at dark, which is from
3 a. m. until 8 p. m. this time OF
year.
This seems about the same as
in 1916 as far as money is con-
cerned, but those days we bought
overalls for Is cents and logger
shoes for $40. Now we pay $1.39 for
overalls that are inferior to what
we got in 1916, lOggers are four
and five dollars more and other
commodities in comparison.
And here is to the skeptical
workers who don't think milit-
ant organizations and actions
don't make any difference in the
form of groceries. Here the work
ers and impoverished farmers
have no organization except the
Grange. They haven't heard of a
grocery voucher since the OWA
shut down.
eAnd this is what they eat:
Flour, beans and a hand-out OF
small staples. No fresh meat mol
any of the limited amount OF
trimmings the workers get who
are on vouchers.
