African Pass
Laws AssaiIed
In Big Rally

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa,
(By MaiD Shouting ITO He'll With
Pass Laws!" over 1000 Negro and
white workers massed before the
pass office here on Oct. 2 in a spir-
tied demonstration against the
humiliating system of pass-laws, i'm
posed on the native population by
the Anglo-Boer imperialists.
The demonstrators carried ban
ners with the following inscriptions ::
ITO He'll With Pass Laws! Smash
Those Dog Licenses! Workers of
the World Unite!" The meeting
closed with decision to intensity
the anti-pass campaign throughout
South Africa.
The pass laws require the natives
to carry permits whenever they are
out late on the streets; when they
wish to visit another town-in short,
whenever they move more than a
few yards from their masters eye.
Any native found on the streets late,
or picked up away from home,
without a special permit from his
employer, is liable to arrest.
The natives of South Africa are
required to carry with them the
following IL badges of slavery: %
identification pass; 90 travelling
pass; 90 six-day special pass; "a
monthly pass; 60 daily laborer's
pass; co day special pass; CD night
special pass; go trek pass; 90 loca-
ton visitors pass permit pass; 10)
dodgers permit; (1D poll tax receipt
pass; and CD exemption pass.
Recently the government granted
special exemptions to a few hangers
on of British imperialism. These
men are known among the native
population as "goody-goody boys" a
term which has the same signi-
ficance of Uncle Tom" in America.
In $780, thousands of ativ S
throughout South Africa publicly
burned their passes as demonstra-
ton against the pass-law system.
The anti-pass campaign is organ
lied and led by the South African
Communist Party

Every Party Organization Must Be Aroused to
Task of Putting Drive Over the Top

Responding to the decision Of the
Central Committee that all quotas
in the 100000 drive be finished by
Dec. l, the following call was issued
yesterday by c. H. Sharp, Commu-
mist Party District Organizer OF
South Dakota;
Thus far the response Of the
South Dakota District to the urgent
appeal for funds to save the Daily
Worker, has been practically nil.
"Is this because we do not feel
the need of the Daily? Is this
because the Daily Worker finds
no response among the masses of
workers and farmers in this
state?
ITO both of these questions
am sure that every comrade will
answer, No!
Greater impoyerishment thar
ever faces the workers and farmers
The masses of farmers and workers
realize the danger of fascism ano
war as never before. Their fighting
determination is rising to higher
levels than ever.
To-day, as never before, they ap-
preciate the Daily Worker as the
leader of the struggle for drought
relief, for the Farmers Emergency
Relief Bill against approaching fas-
cism and war.
To-day, as never before, we car
all see the need of the Daily as the
organizer and guide in our struggle
to weld the unity of the toilers.
"Our failure can only lie in our
underestimstion Of the serious
danger to the very existence of
our fighting Daily
South Dakota comrades, South
Dakota farmers and workers vii
not sit idly by and see their Daily
sink.
Every Section, every unit, ev-
cry Party member must become
aroused. Get out those coupon
boOks-solicit funds wherever you
are, wherever you can. Organize
house parties, dances, lunches.
Let the workers in the towns, the
farmers, know that the Daily
Worker needs their help at once,
if it is to survive and be enabled
to boldly carry on their struggle.
South Dakota's workers and
farmers will answer their op-
pressOrs with dollars and dimes to
save the Daily Worker"
Can Do Better
South Dakota is one of the dis
tricts-Omaha North Dakota, LOU
isiana, Kentucky, Houston = which
are the smallest as far as Party
membership and sympathetic or
CARNATIONS are concerned. Yet, the
quotas of these districts were as
signed with all difficulties in consid-

Cannes Talks
ToCollegeMen
On Unity Fight

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Nov. a.
Harry Cannes, associate editor of
the Daily Worker; Powers Hapgood,
member of the executive committee
of the Socialist Party, and Roger
Baldwin of the American Civil Lib
critics Union and the League Against
War and Fascism, all spoke from
the same platform at meeting Of
more than 200 students at Harvard,
sponsored by the Boston Region
Student Committee Against War, on
Saturday night.
All three speakers stressed the
importance of the working class in
the anti-war struggle, and the
necessity for students to unite with
the workers in this struggle.
When Cannes advocated the de-
STABILITY of a united front of So
cialists and Communists, Hapgood
stated that he was in favor Of this
united front but that conservative
Socialist leaders opposed such &C
ton. Baldwin, also fayoring a
united front of the two parties
against war and fascism, admitted
that never to his knowledge had
the Communists ever violated any
pledge they had made.
Hapgood then criticized the Com
munists for their opposition to the
Socialist leaders, but Cannes imme-
diately showed the insincerity Of
the latter. The meeting was i'm
portant in showing that the need
for united action and the willing
ness of the Communist Party TO
take part in it, and represented a
definite step toward reaching
basis for such an agreement.

2Frankfeld and Jim Egan, sentenced
to prison for workingclass activities.
Frankfeld is head Of the Pittsburgh
Unemployment Councils and Egan,
secretary Of the Steel and Metal
Workers Industrial Union.
At the mass meeting a wire was
dispatched to the Governor, which
was delivered to him in the Penn
Mckee Hotel, requesting that he
grant an audience to a committee
representing 10000 workers Of Ale
gheny County, and stating that the
delegation would meet him in the
lobby at the conclusion of the rally.
Instead of acknowledging the tele-
gram in any way, however, the Gov
ernor made a quick exit from the
hall under a heavy escort Of State
Constabularies, city policemen, and
deputy sheriffs.
Evasion Condemned
The protest letter of the Liberia
ton Committee condemned his eva
sion Of the committee and demanded
that ne take action to free both
prisoners
The Governors answer states:
Il received your telegram saying
that committee was waiting in
the hotel lobby to present a request,
and went very slowly through the
lobby in order to give the Commit
tee an opportunity to speak to me.
That the committee did not do so
was its own fault, and not mine.
Your letter says that left with
'precipitate haste at the close Of
the meeting. That is not true. I
left very slowly, shaking hands with
several hundred people on the way
out Of the hotel"
When the Governor declares that
he went very slowly through the
lobby he is telling deliberate
falsehood, as any Of the workers
who were in the delegation can tes-
tify. It may be true that he shook
hands with several hundred peo-
pie" but these were all in the
meeting hall, which he perhaps did
leave very slowly" Once the Gov
ernor reached the lobby, however,
he looked neither to the right nor
left, and whisked out the door be-
fore anyone could even approach
him.
Dodges Responsibility
The rest of the Governors reply
is to the effect that he has no
power with relation to peoples, ex-
cept to approve or disapprove the
/ recommendations Of the Parole
Board" of the State, and that hence
1t is impossible to take action of
any sort in regard to paroles for
Egan, Frankfeld, Mrs. Brletic and
Dan Benning."
A parade petition has been filed
for Frankfeld, who is already serv-
ing his sentence, which will be heard
next Tuesday morning in the court
house at Pittsburgh.
Workers from all organizations
interested in freeing the U. c. leader
are urged to pack the room in which
the hearing is held. The room num-
Der, not yet divulged, can be OBJ
tanned at the district attorneys Of
flee, together with the name Of the
hearing judge. Sufficient mass
pressure will secure the release of
the framed-up leader Of the unem-
ployed, who became a father last
Saturday.
Meanwhile, all working class or
CARNATIONS are appealed to to
hasten the circulation Of petitions
demanding his release and that Of
Egan, who led the Ambridge strike,
SO that the petitions can be pre-
sented to the Pardon Board at its
next meeting late this month.
Headquarters of the Liberation
Committee is at 522 Court Place,
Pittsburgh, Pa, where petitions and
other materials on the liberation
drive can be obtained.

Food Costs % Per Cent
Higher Since Roosevelt
Launched NRA Policies

NEW YORK. - Food prices are
now % per cent higher than they
were in April, 1888, just when
Roosevelt took Office, an official sur
vey by the U. S. Bureau of Labor
Statistics reveals.
Food prices are rising, though
some slight tagging has recently
occurred, due to the feet that the
swift price rise has reduced the
demand SO much that prices have
had to come down somewhat. The
trend, however, as declared openly
by Roosevelt and his assistants, is to
continue to raise food prices.

so far reached-all of them being
under Is per cent.
Their Party membership must
avoid the mistake of underestima-
toni Underestimation Of the dan
ger facing the Daily Worker and
underestimation Of the methods
they can utilize. House parties,
proper canvassing, discussions of
the Daily Worker with shopmates
and then making collections-ex-
perience has shown that these
methods are successful.
These Are Doing 1t
From Washington D. c., right
under the nose of Papa Roosevelt,
comes a contribution of s42-the
result of a house party given by
Communist Party Units l and 3.
The Barre section, in Vermont, also
is utilizing house parties to reach
its $35 quota. Certainly, what these
units and sections can do is not be-
yond the powers of sections ana
units in the districts enumerated
above.
The Poorest Workers Contribute
The excuse is frequently heard
that workers are too poor to con-
tribute. But the letters published in
the Daily Worker prove that no
matter how poor workers are they
will Notwithstanding to the
last penny. From the Salt Lake
City section comes another proof
of this. Sending a contribution of
IS, this section declares:
This is just a beginning. We
will try our hardest to go over
our quota. The comrades are de-
priving themselves of necessities
to contribute to the Daily Worker
for they know its significance"
They Keep ON Working
From Rock Springs, Wyo., comes
contribution of Sc. This territory
also comprises workers who have
not been blessed by the New Deal.
But: I'VE are working to raise
our quota" writes George Margo-
lis, 81 hope it will be raised in a
short time"
Quotas Can Be Raised
The quotas can be raisedl Fur
thermore, they can be raised in
tirnel But all excuses must be dis
carded, and serious work under
taken. Such a district as st. Louis,
for instance, which has a quota of
$500, has raised hardly Is per cent.
1t must not hesitate.
The Daily Worker calls upon
every one of these tagging dis
tricts to push themselves to the
utmost to finish their quotas by
Dec. /!

RESETTING SHADE TREES
AT THE SCHOOL GROUNDS

A crew OF men have been
busy this week re-setting the
Chinese Elm shade trees on the
south side OF the school grounds
When planted they were set
on. Of line, by some mistake,
the east end being about 4 feet
off. IL was quite a job moving
them over without disturbing
the roots as little as possible.
Ii Is regretable that these
trees bad to be disturbed,
they made a wonderful growth
last year and it viii take the
greatest part Of the coming
year TO survive the transfer.
The Chinese Elm seem TO be
one OF the best shade trees that
can be planted here and make
a rapid growth. When proper
ly trimmed this is a beautiful
shade tree.

MORE HARD MONEY

A. p. Ramsted, President OF
the Wallace Qdaho) Board OF
Trade, recently drafted a reso-
luton on silver which said in
part: The only practical and
safe monetary policy is more
hard money under our crumb-
ling credit structure, and silver
is the only suitable metal avail
able. Government purchase of
domestic silver at 64 l-2 cents
will not suffice. We must have
free silver coinage at definite
ratio to gold to provide stable
currency and improve CONNER
cial relations with foreign silver
using people" "
The price of silver, or any
other secondary money metal,
means nothing except when re-
lated to the price of gold.
That's why 64 l-2 cent silver is
actually cheaper, with gold at
S33 90 an ounce, than so cent
silver was when gold was stabi-
lized at s22.00. A great many
economists fear that silver sta
bilization will do little to solve
the problems it Is intended tc
solve unless its relationship
with gold is firmly fixed.
As q money, silver has unique
advantages. 1t is second only
to gold in esteem---and it ha:
been used as a token of value
for centuries. 1t has a phycho,
logical appeal that comes from
custom. And it is the sole
money metal of half the world
population. Those who pro
pose to fix a gold-silver ratio
deserve a very attentive hear
ing.
