RELIEF FIGHT IMPORTANT FOR PETERSON OVERS
Mrs. DOdsOn Hides
Her DGnUiLIe Local
BY a Textile Worker Correspondent

BY Textile Worker Correspondent
DANVILLE, Va. = Mrs. ROxie
Dodson must have something
very vital to protect (such as a
pay check from the bosses or
sOmething) to have such a deadly
fear of militant workers.
Since reading the appeal for
workers to join the United Tex
tile Workers and vote her out in
November, in the Daily Worker
two weeks ago. she has conceived
another plan to prevent 1t.
Instead Of holding her meet
ings openly, she is now holding
them at the homes of a few
selected members Of her clique,
and only notifies the ones she
wants to attend that meeting is
being held, and where. In this
way she avoids having to meet
with new applicants. She figures
that by doing this she can be
attacked for keeping out militant
workers.
Bat we can see through this,
Mrs. DOdson, as easily as we
could reaFize the truth in her
statement two weeks ago, that "if
they fool with me, they are
fOoHng with the police"

MRS. KLEIN writes all women that
lM the time to December 7th, the
date set for the execution of Hay
wood Patterson and Clarence Nor
ris is short. I'VE have the strength
of millions" she writes. The execu-
ton will be stopped only through
the most determined mass action
Of those millions. We must use that
strength to mass ever increasing
numbers around the campaign to
force the freedom of the Scottsboro
boys, our youth, our lifeblood."
'ScottSboro boys,
You are tasting capitalist justice
The justice
OF parasites straining TO protect
Their profits,
Their millions
At the cost of our youth, our
strength
Our very likelihood!
We must stand solid together!
We have the strength of mil
lions!
We must join hands,
To free the Scottsboro boys!"
UERE is letter sent to the Work
II ing Woman Contest. 1t does not
answer exactly the question asked
in the contest. C'What can woman
do whose husband won't let her
attend working class meetings?")
But it is interesting enough to make
us want to print it here.
The woman writes: Wanting to
learn more about history and eco
nomics, I entered evening high
school. I told my husband that I
hoped to prepare for a job as dieti-
clan, and even if failed, would
certainly be better house keeper
for the training. He didn't consent,
but he couldn't refuse, so / went.
Finding the evenings lonely
when I was away, he went down
and stopped to listen to the speak
ers in the street. He learned more
through this means than did in
school. Through increasing class
consciousness, better conditions
we're obtained in his shop where
the men all joined the union.
I'm my home, all the little things
I found so unbearable before, now
fade into insignificance. From be-
ing backward, my husband has gone
way ahead of me. He demands that
my first allegiance be paid to the
working class struggle. He must be
right, because our domestic 1ela-
tions are so much more peaceful
and happy now, that it would take
a book to describe the difference. "

Br A DC Worker Corresponden,

By A Dye Worker Correspondent
PATERSON, N. J.-This is my
plea to my fellow dye workers to
think about events during our pres
ent strike, which prove that our SOL
idarity will result in a victory Of
thirty dollars a week, thirty hour
week, and union shop.
Why are different corporations
giving us several concessions2 Not
because they suddenly took liking
to us! All these years they made life
miserable for the workers. The POI
lice beat us when we struck for bet
ter conditions remember East
Paterson last year,. The newspapers
always printed false statements and
knocked the workers. They keep us
in the dark where politics is con-
cerned, and they never relate tragic
stories about the workers condi-
lions.
The Public Service has always
charged the workers high rates for
gas and electric. The Public Service
is now letting us go two months
before they shut of our gas and
electric because they saw our picket
lines pass their building. They fear
what would happen if they shut off
the gas and electric Of all our men.
The police are not breaking our
heads, because they see the strength
Of Our solidarity. They know what
will happen when we are aroused.
The scab newspapers, the News and
the Call, are letting us write articles
in their papers (although these
articles are put where they are least
effective) because they saw and
heard our picket lines. The thugs
and gunner hed from our shops
when they saw the strength Of our
united mass. They feared to clash
with us. Several bosses in Paterson
and vicinity as we'll as in Pennsyl-
vania are ready to sign favorable
contracts.
All these events prove one thing
that we will win the strike, and the
important factor toward our success
Is solidarity.
There many of us who are in dire
need of relief. Some Of us are neg
lecting our duty to ourselves, our
families, and our union when we
do not ask for relief. We are only
asking for what is rightfully ours
Our hard work has put the wealth
into this country, not the bosses
who exploit our hard work and reap
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1934-11-14

will take care Of them. God would
not forget his little flock OF about
two hundred, he said. He didn't
preach about the millions of OPP
pressed and starving all over the
world. But he did say that If the
strike went on for four weeks some
of "his people" would take their
shot guns and shoot their way
through the picket lines.
Now why should this preacher
say such things? I will tell you
why. First, his church gets check
for $125 every quarter from the
company. He gets personal
check of $50 from the president an
nually In other words, he takes
orders from the bosses for this mis-
cradle little mess of pottage. But
he knows it means more than that.
The writer, who, as mentioned, is
one of this preachers deacons,
knows that he receives $50 a week
from the hard earned wages of his
little flock" some of who receive
only 5000 a week. But If this
preacher can get the workers
worked up so they will shout and
dance on Sunday, 1t helps them to
forget their real misery, and the
struggles of the masses can go to
hell Cor to another mill in South
Cardinal.
The relief department is also
playing its role. When we go to
ask for relief they jump on US with
e long lecture on what fools we
were for striking, telling us to see
what it got us-blacklisted. They
try to make us feel like the scum
of Hsdes, and if we get anything
we must swing a IA ID. hammer
on rock pile at 80 cents an hour
all day. But with all these forces
against us, we must struggle on for
unity. We need to make our union
a rank and file controlled union.
with officers who have CUTS and are
not afraid to face the bosses With
our demands.

Il it., has been draped on the wall

the local union hall. Also, hints
have been broadcast that in the
near future meetings would be start
ed with the singing of the Star
pangled Banner"
Shoe workers, who are ex-service
men. were heard to express their
feelings on this subject. One said
that he had enough flag saluting
and guard mount" in the army,
and he proposed to keep our union
a labor union and not patriotic
drill hall.
AS the Joint Council Of Lowell re-
fuesd to rent the union ball TO the
Communist Party because, as they
said, we want to keep politics out
of our union" therefore it follows
that they must go on record as OPP
posed to the saluting Of the flag,
which is the emblem of the state
and so nothing else but politics.
