Jens Hyldahl is the owner of a new
Chevrolet truck which he purchased
through Sorensen's Garage this week,
trading in his old one on the deal.
The new truck is painted red and
meets the requirements of Standard

call attention to a notice in the an
nouncement column this week, which
states that the regular d. B. S. meet
ings during this month, October, will
be held on the second and fourth Sat
urdays instead of on the first and
third.
Sorensen's Garage has this week in
stalled a Smith Automatic grease gun
which is one of the latest in modern
greasing instruments. The gun varies
from the older type, which "shot" the
grease with quick force into the part
to be creased, in that it slowly forces
the lubricant and thereby is easier to
control and get the needed quantity
into the right place.

Shoe Strike
When NRA Fails, Fas-

5000 Are Out
BY A. ZIEBEL and
FRED BIEDENKAPP

HAVERHILL Mass.-Over 5000
shoe workers were on strike for six
weeks in Haverhill under the lead
ership of the United Shoe and
Leather Workers Union, demand
ing improved conditions, living
wage and the abolition of compul-
sorry arbitration, because the manu-
facturers we're able through arbit-
ration to slash the wages Of the
workers.
To beat down the workers and
subject them to slavery, the manu-
facturers had to resort to more
open terrorist and fascist methods.
The city administration, the bust
ness men and professionals organ
lied Vigilance Committee
To cover up their real intentions
and activities as strike breakers,
these self-appointed saviors of the
poor and down-trodden throw a
smoke screen around themselves by
stating that they are going to fight
not only against the Reds, but also
against the chiseling manufacturers.
The fascists in Haverhill organ
lied in the Vigilance Committee
began an agitation to split the
union and to create an isolated
Haverhill organization where the
capitalist politicians will have the
control just as Mr.. Goodwin, a capt.
talist lawyer in Brockton, controls
the Brotherhood of Brockton.
To achieve their aim to beat
down the workers, the Vigilantes,
with the aid of the police and
manufacturers, will attempt to
frame up militant workers, to in
stitute blacklist, to try to run
out of town militant organizers of
shoe workers.
The shoe workers in Haverhill
will not be misled by these fascists.
They will close their ranks in the
United Shoe and Leather Workers
Union and will defend their organ
ization and their militant fighters
against any fascist attempt to drive
the workers into slavery and sub
lection to the shoe bosses.

United Farm League Prepares for Further
Struggle Against Ruination of Small
Farmers Under ''New Deal''

CHICAGO, Ill, May A call
for the first national conference
Of the United Farmers League,
militant farmers organization. has
been issued by the Executive Com
mittee. The UF.L. with branches
in the leading farm states of the
country has been in the forefront
of the small and middle farmers
struggles against the yoke of mort
gage Wall Street oppression.
The Convention will be held at
Minneapolis, MINI, June 22-25,
1884.
The call in part reads as follows
D spite Roosevelt's numerous
promises to the forgotten man. -
his New Deal" is a continuation
and more ruthless carrying out of
the capitalist policies initiated by
the Republican regime before him.
BY his first act, the bank mora :
forum, he reduced the buying
power Of the consumers by helping
the Wall Street bankers rob the life
savings of small depositors.
Roosevelt quickly followed this UP
with the N.R.A., A.A.A., the re-
financing swindle, imitation, process
ing and other taxes levelled on the
common people, and has thus most
effectively helped the big bankers
and trusts to further rob the toll
ing population and to drive 100000
farmers out of production. The in
sane destruction of life giving
necessities carried on while mil
lions go hungry, reveals with start
ling clarity the criminal character
of the New Deal' and the sys-
tenn which it represents. And on
top of all this. the billions handed
out through the RIG. and the
Farm Credit Administration to the
bankers and industrislists. as well
as to the landlords and rich farm
ers has helped them to shift the
burdens of the crisis ever more
heavily on the backs Of the work
ing masses.
The New Deal has deal heavy

years for relief and against sheriff
sales and evictions. Particularly
significant have been the great
farmers strikes against price rob-
berry of the food monopolies. In
these struggles workers have fought
side by side with farmers like COM
rades in arms, establishing the be-
glnnings of a powerful class alli-
ance against their common exploit
ers and their government.
The U.F.L., Leader Of Struggles
The first initiator and the most
militant leader of these mass strug-
giles of the toiling farmers has been
the United Farmers League. 1t has
conducted numerous victorious
struggles, it has drawn large num-
bers of unorganized, impoverished
farmers into these struggles. 1t has
also played an influential part in
making the great Washington and
Chicago Conferences successful, and
1t has carried the united front pro-
grams of these conferences into &C
ton
The Need for Strong Militant
Organization
In the farmers struggles against
robbery and oppression, q broad and
effective united front movement can
be formed only under the leadership
OF strong militant organization.
The United Farmers League Is
such an organization. 1t has clear
class struggle program, based upon
the interests of the poor, small and
ruined middle farmers, and directed
against the interests of the land
lords and rich farmers. 1t has al
ready established state organiza-
tions in ten states. There are affili-
ated with it two other state organi-
cations, the Michigan Farmers
League and the Ohio Farmers
League. In addition, the United
Farmers League has members and
locals in many other states.
Several independent organiza-
tons such as the United Farmers
Protective Association of Pennsyl-
vania, the Share Choppers Union,
the Holiday Associa ion OF Nebraska
madison County Plsn), the New
England Farmers Protective Asso-
citation. and other local groups, have
a program and carry out actions

One group Of the miners in oppo-
sition to Lewis, influenced by the
PIMA. leaders, advocates the build
ing of the PIMA. and refuses to
ioin the UM.W.A. In some places
on the direct initiative Of the
Percy Keck agents, they have built
a small, sectarian organization, con-
sisting in each instance of a hand
full of militant miners. who are di-
vorced from the main mass Of
miners.
Other groups remaining outside OF
the U.M.W.A. advocates the build
ing of the N.M.U. Even some Of the
Party members share this opinion
and refuse to Join the UMW.A.
This despite the fact that the Party
formulated its policy very clearly
way back in December of last year
to the effect that our chief task
at the present is not to build the
N.M.U. in the fields where the min
ers are organized into the UMWA.,
but that our task is to organize a
mass Rank and File Opposition
within the U.M.W.A. and lead the
fight for the interests of the miners.
The sectarian policy Of remain
ing outside of the U.M.WA. when
the overwhelming ma jority of the
miners are in 1t in given field
does not help the miners. 1t
helps the coal operators and the
Lewis machine to carry out their
strike breaking policy. This was
50 clearly proven in this strike.
The most militant miners. who
saw the sellout. who understand
the militant strike policy. but who
were separated from the main
body Of the miners organized in
the U.M.WA., and excluded from
the meetings because they were
not members of the U.M.W.A..
found themselves absolutely help
less in the effort to fight the sell
out. Had the few thousands of
militant miners, who divorced
themselves from the masses of
miners by refusing to join the
U.M.W.A. and by attemDting to
build the NM.U. or PIMA, had
they been active members of the
U.M.W.A., the outcome of the
strike would have been different
and the sell out could have been
prevented.
It is undisputed truth that Lewis
and his paid henchmen are agents
of the coal opera tors; they are open
Strikebreakers Probably most of
them are on the payroll of the coal
operators. But it is also undisputed
fact that at least IS per cent of the
miners belong to the U.M.W.A.. that
Lewis continually betrays them and
together with them those that are
not members of the U.M.WA. In
the West Virginia strike Lewis sold
out not only the members of the
UM.W.A. but he sold out also those
outside Of the UMW.A.
One of the immediate Party tasks
in West Virginia is to strengthen
the Party organization by recruit
ing new members and building new
Mine Units, making every Commu-
mist an active fighter in the U. M.
w, A, through the formation of
functioning Party fractions and the
building of a mass Rank and File
Opposition on the basis of immedi-
ate needs of the miners. fighting
systematically against the Lewis
machine.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1934-05-05

The following letter received from
a worker makes an analysis of the
recent victory" achieved by the
railroad workers under the leader
ship of the Brotherhood Chiefs in
their parleying with the railroad
arrangements.
The letter reveals that the graded
return of the 10 per cent cut, aside
from the fact that this cut has al
ready been the cause of a sharp up
turn in railroad profits and diW-
dends, actually gives the workers in
dollars and cents pretty close to
what the exploiters wanted in the
first place. In addition, by the sim
pie expedient of returning about
$15,000,00 out of wage slash that
robbed the railroad workers of over
$300000,000, the railroad owners are
insured against strikes for another
year--a pretty cheap form OF strike
insurance, that is, If the workers
will stand for it.
The Daily Worker urges all work
ers to send in letters on shop condi-
tons and all matters of interest to
other workers regarding conditions,
etc. etc. Particularly does it urge
railroad workers to write us regard
ing the working out of the new
agreement, conditions of speed-up,
spread work, etc.

All these false prophets and fake

Fascist Features in the New Deal
With the masses of workers and
farmers putting up growing resis-
lance to the robbery of the New
Deal, the government resorts to
force to carry through the so-called
voluntary" codes and allotments.
Machine gun and tear gas are used
against workers on strike Militant
fighting farmers leaders like Alfred
Tiala, Harry Lux, and the Walstads
are thrown into jail. Injunctions
are issued against militant farm
organizations to make them illegal.

ers League in South Dakota.

reduce their acreage. Dairy farmers
who refuse to sign A.A.A. milk codes

the aid Of the leaders of the milk

Secretary Wallace declares that at
least 40 million acres Of farm land
must go back to grass even

And the increasing number of evic-
tions and sheriff sales are being put
through more and more with the use
of force
All these New Deal measures to
break the resistance of the workers
and toiling farmers are steps toward
fascist rule such as exists today in
Hitler-ridden Germany.

Faced with the necessity for uni
flying our ranks, improving our pro-
gram, and taking up more ener-

capitalist attack contained in the
New Deal, the Executive Council Of
the United Farmers League calls
the first National Convention of the
United Farmers League to be held
in Minneapolis, MINI, June 22-25,

Convention.
