Communist Election
Dance Fills temple
to Utmost Capacity

The dance at the Farmer-Labor
Temple, sponsored by the Com
munist party and held election
night, was a great success. The
large hall was packed to capacity.
In fact it was one of the largest
crowds that has ever attended a
dance at the Temple.
The chief attraction for the
dance was the One Minute electric
washing machine which was to be
given to the holder of the lucky
number. The winning number, 757
was held by Miss Roma Wilson of
north of Raymond and who is at
present attending high school in
Plentywood. Everyone was well
satisfied to see her win, as she is
a girl who can make good use Of
the machine.

A committee Of the Dagmar

county relief administration re-
garding five different relief cases

committee, composed of Jergen

Magnus Danielson, met with Re-

complaints. Within three days &C.

the families involved report that
they are well satisfied.
The committee was selected al

This was done and already the

report from the five families that
they were satisfied. They had re-

results Immediately.

RELIEF OFFICE
ANNOUNCES FOUR
WORK PROJECTS
Work to Begin as Soon as
Temperature Falls
Below Zero

There were practically no relief
projects all summer long. Now
when cold weather is about to be-
gin in earnest, the relief admin
istration of Sheridan county an
nounces that four work projects
have been approved on which $50
men will be employed.
The improvement and extension
of water mains in Plentywood will
! cover three different projects, it
is announced. On the west side
of town 900 feet of mains and two
fire hydrants are to be installed.
This project is supposed to give
employment to so men. Twenty
four persons are to be put to work
extending the waterworks system
on the east side of town. And
finally, an extension of the sewer
system of $50 feet will open jobs
for SO men.
! Wages Not Stated
! The relief office did not state
the amount of wages paid the men
on these projects, nor the time al
lowed per man per week. How
ever, the attitude shown so far by
the relief administration and the
county commissioners makes room
for the expectation that wages
paid on these jobs will be consid-
erably lower than CWA wages last
winter. But farmers and workers
are prepared to fight for a mini

The farsightedness of the relief
administration in postponing work

because the administrators believ'
that people can easily get through

shows that there is an actual
shortage in the country as a whole
q 100000 tons of feed grain and
100000 tons of hay and other
rOughage; and these figures only
allow for a bare subsistence ra-
ton in the drought states and an
amount below normal for sections

what near normal rations were
fed in all states, the total re-
ouirements would approximate a.
bout 100000 tons more than the
available supply of feed grain
alone.
State Three Principles
"With the bulk of the popula-
ton dependent upon relief for the
basic necessities of life, we know
that the amount of relief now be-
ing given is entirely inadequate
and when cold weather sets in will
be a starvation level. We agree
that the following three principles
are vital in the handling of relief
this winter and spring:
1. That the relief given
shall be adequate for a health
full and decent standard Of
living, to be determined by
demands of the local farmers
themselves. We hold that
funds for greatly increased re-
lief are available by trans
forming the criminal expendi-
lures now being made for war
preparations into relief funds.
One battleship alone costs Ger
fifty million dollars. There is
no valid excuse for inadequate
relief.
2. That there shall be no
discrimination in the granting
Of relief because of political
or organizational activities or
other causes.
8. That the distribution Of
relief should be controlled by
majority vote, or by COM
mittees elected by mass meet
ings of rank and file farmers
and wage workers; these COM
mittees to be responsible to
the mass meeting. By rank
and file farmers is meant all
working farmers except those
who operate farm primarily
by hired labor. By wage work.
erS is meant ali workers or
unemployed workers except
those employed in a supervis-
ory capacity.

On the eve of what promises to
be the worst winter which Ameri-
can farmers have faced, the Farm
ers Educational and Cooperative
Union of America is holding its
various state conventions. At the
South Dakota convention held in
Rapid City Oct. Gil, a program
and proposals for action were laid
out before the delegates. Two
main proposals were made: first,
legislative, consisting of the Fra
zier bill and cost of production,
and second, the proposal to build
bigger cooperatives. 1t remained
for Farmers Union local from
Dawson county to bring in the
only proposal concerning relief
the burning issue of the winter.
The proposal, known as the Davi-
SON County Plan, is of Importance.
The plan provides that all relief
be controlled by democratically
elected committees of farmers and
wage earners. 1t was overwhelm-
ingly endorsed by vote of the con-
vention.
The Farmers Union in South
Dakota has the backing of suffi'
Gent numbers to organize mighty
effective action for winning ade-
quate relief and other necessary
demands. 1t has some 1000 mem
bers who paid dues this year il
South Dakota. Over 300 farmer,
raised the money for gas, hote
and restaurant bills necessary t.
attend. Here were enough active
farmers from all over the stat,
to have made a profound impress
sion if they were all agreed upol
a daring plan of action to NEE
the present emergency.
