''DaiIy'' Is One of Our Strongest Weapons,
Says Communist Section Organizer
To the Central Committee of Com.

To the Central Committee Of Com
munist Party U. S. A.,
Dear Comrades:
We, the unit organizers and ac-
tive Party workers in mass organ
izations, have assembled today in
the city of Youngstown for the pur-
pose of examining to what degree
we have carried out the decisions
Of our convention as well as to work
out new Plan Of Action up to
Lenin Memorial Day.
The conference took up the state
ment of the Central Committee on
the 100000 drive for the Daily
Worker for the purpose of estab-
fishing three editions of the paper.
This will indeed be tremendous
step forward for the, entire reyolu-
tionary movement in this country.
This decision is of great importance
to us Communists in the steel cen
ters where we have the practical
responsibility of carrying out the
main decision of the convention: to
strengthen the Party among the
basic section of the American pro-
letariat. The Daily Worker must be-
come one Of our strongest weapons
through which we will accomplish
this most important task.
It is for this reason that we have
decided to raise our quota of $3.50,
which was decided by the District to
$500. In doing this we are fully
aware of the difficulties in raising
such a large sum Of money, because
of the misery that prevails among
the steel workers. However, we are
absolutely confident that the steel
and other workers in our section will
support us. We here are not in a
habit of making empty promises.

Conditions Worse to
Attack Union
Rr a Worker Correspondent

~ . " VI hEA ANA Us krtfAAAIAAh
BESSEMER, Working con-
ditions at the Raimund ore mine
(Republic Steel Coz are worse now
than before the strike a few months
ago. The company is not living up
to the agreement and is doing
everything it can to smash the
union. We are supposed to get paid
for dead work but we don't.
Methods Of Robbery
Drillmen have to buy tools to
keep the leaky air pipes repaired.
In this way the bosses make the
drillmen do dead work and they
don't get paid for it. Besides this
we have to pay for powder (5c a
stick and &c apiece for caps. They
still take off on each car of ore
(for 3ton car we get credit for
2 tons) to pay for timber, rails, etc.
We struck for the 7-hour day but
now the day men work ten hours.
The company is trying to make
show about hiring lot of men and
being real busy but here's what
happens. The drillmen don't get
enough air to run the drills right,
so they barely keep the day shift
busy. At night the compressor has
stopped running and the drill men
can't walk. The muckers stay on
the job eight hours but don't have
any work to do, and the company
won't pay them for their time.
Union Leaders Do Little
The International Union of Mine,
Mill and Smelter Workers leaders
have not done much about it and
as a result the men are becoming
discouraged with the union and a
few of them quit. The Communist
Party unit in the Raimund Mine
has issued leaflets calling upon the
workers to stick with the union
and put up strong fight against
such rotten conditions.
None of the scabs were fired after
the strike. One scab said that all
the union men would be out in so
days. Another scab. Doc Davis, let
it out that Mat Bird, former treas
urer of the union and still a union
member, takes notes on everything
that is said in the union hall and
Sends a copy Of it to the company.
The scabs get first choice on
everything. The company is put
ting electric lights in their houses
while union men never see an cleo
trio light. Besides this the union
men are Disseminated against while
the scabs get off easy.
The 40 Per Cent Being Evieted
After the December strike only
so per cent of the men were put
back on the job and the other 40
per cent were supposed to be re-
hired as the company needed them.
So far none of them have been put
back to work although plenty OF
scabs have been written up since
that time.
Now the company is forcing them
to move in order to make room for
the scabs in the camp.
The Communist Party unit in the
Raimund Mine is issuing leaflets
calling upon the workers to stop
evictions and force the company to
allow the union men to live in the
houses.
Trying To Smash Union
All of these actions by the COM
pany are aimed at smashing the
union. Louis and Marion Tarrent
get $12 day from the company
for going around and telling union
men not to go to the union meet
ings.
This drive against the union is

ny NAiht NoIheI correspondent
BESSEMER, Ala.-At the Mus
coda Mine Tennessee Coal &
Iron Coz the Company is planning
to put more than 80 miners out of
their homes. One miner has al
ready been forced to move. The
company is working out charges
against any of the union men that
they want to get rid of, then they
fire them and force them to leave
their homes.
The miners are charged with
breaking company rules on drinking,
cursing, fighting, etc. Before the
union came the company never
thought of enforcing these rules.
Now these rules come in handy as
a cover for discrimination against
the union men and as means of
getting the militant union men off
the mountain.
These same rules are not used
against the sCabs. They can break
all the rules they want to and they
get protection from the company
thugs. AS soon as a union man
moves out a scab moves into his
house. Where it takes a union
man two or three months to get
a house in the camp, it only takes
a scab one day.
This is another of the ways for
the company to smash the union.
In the meantime the union has not
offered much resistance to these
evictions. The union must not de-

in his honor.
More than $500 was raised for the
Herndon defense at the three camp

This delay the second petition indicates clearly

It indicates that every sort of pressure is being

This pressure is being exerted not by the people who
