Walk Out of
Lebanon MiU
BY Textile Worker Correspondent

BY a Textile Worker Correspondent
LEBANON, N. H.-The two mills
in this town have struck. The
American Wooden Co. mill was or
ganized and came out. The Lebanon
Wooden Co. mill, small indepen-
dent company mill, has always been
non union. The strikers picketed
this miss for several days, passing out
leaflets urging the workers to strike.
The picket line increased in size
each day and finally the powers
that be" saw to it that the forces
of Flaw and order" were set to guard
the picket line against out of town
trouble makers"
But no flying squads Of pickets
from out of town showed up, but
just when all hope of getting these
workers to strike was about to die,
the pickets began an outburst of APP
plause and hand-clapping. The nom
union workers had struck! They
have since been organized.
1t Is also reported that the Hart
ford (Vt) mill (non-union), has
struck. The Quechee & Dewey mill
from White River junction, VT, and
all highways surrounding them are
being heavily patrolled by all sorts
Of heavily armed police and guards
forbidding the public to use certain
public highways. They have sue
ceeded in turning back cars Of
pickets who approached the mills
from other towns and cities. They
don't even trust the "big shots" from
distant places in passing police lines.
There is one big thing wrong with
this strike, however. That is the
strikers as general rule have
strong faith in Roosevelt, Green,
Riviere, German and Winant, and
to a lesser extent even Hugh john
son, although your correspondent
believes Johnson's popularity has
waned considerably.

At our last meeting, We discussed

Therefore, in spirit Of Socialist
competition, we challenge the other

struggles of the miners between the
years 1927 and 1898. OF course, there
is a reason for this silence. To dis
cuss these struggle, Murray would
have to reveal to the miners just
what side of the fence Lewis and
Co. are on. We miners well know
that through the betrayals and
strike breaking tactics, the Lewis
machine completely smashed the
UM.W.A., especially in the Appala-
chan region. The U.M.W.A. was
practically unorganized from 1927
to 1888; and it was precisely in this
period which the miners received
the most wage cuts in the coal in
dustry. Lewis and Murray did not
take an encouraging attitude toward
reviving the U.MWA. They encour-
aged the miners to accept wage cuts,
because the poor coal operators we're
not reaping their customary mil
lions. You can't win strikes in
period of depression" cried Lewis
and his dupes. Consequently, wage
cuts were as frequent as pay-days,
m isery accumulated starvation
reached deeper strata, lay-offs null
tiplied. and unemployment reached
the 100000 figure. The miners
couldn't endure these conditions any
longer. They were becoming radical
lied. Rank and file unions were
formed. A revolutionary way out
was demanded, and huge strikes
took place.
Only the Communists took stand
in the vanguard of the miners
struggles. Then was 1t that wage
cuts were defeated, and wage in
creases were won. After the strike
of 10000 miners In 1881, the Ken
lucky strike in 1882 and hundreds of
other local strikes in 1882, sentiment
for a general coal strike grew rapid
ly. The government was plainly wor-
ried, and worked rapidly to check
the growing conscious actions
OF the miners. The MIRA. was en-
acted (the caitahst way OUT. AS q

Colorado Farmers Build Communist Party
After ''Red Scare Is Raised

In our town the Party was weak
and had no connections in the
U. T. w. when the strike hit us.
We decided that the Daily Worker
was our best bet as a vanguard. We
Immediately increased our order
from 25 to 100 a day. We sent our
best comrade to the picket lines to
sell Daily Workers. The first day
he sold 40 on the picket line in
addition to the regular route sales.
The U. T. w. organizer was hav-
ing trouble getting workers out of
the mills due to lack of prepara-
ton. Our comrades invited him to
speak at an outdoor solidarity
meeting organized by our unem-
ployed organization. He spoke along
with the section organizer of the
Party and the District Organizer of
the Y.C.L., who came into town as
the meeting was going on. We
called for mass turnout to close
the mills. The next morning it
rained and the turnout was not so
good. That afternoon we had
demonstration Of nemploye
workers and strikers in front of the
big mill.
Saturday night we held a meet
ing on a court house steps in the
name of the Party. in support of
the strike. I am writing this on
SUM day. Tomorrow the flying
squadron will come to our aid-we
will close the mill.
Wrong Method of Selling Daily
Worker
Now we have contacts, we are
showing the face of the Party, we
have a united front in action, and
are selling our 100 Daily Workers.
We also send a comrade into a
nearby mill town to make connec-
tions and sell Daily Workers. The
workers in this town carried on the
most militant struggle in our area.
Their strike started as local strike
weeks ago. They were the first to
close up the mills in their own town
and now make up the best of the
flying squadron.
Our comrade went into the main
street in front of the theatre to sell
his papers. The burgess got a gang
of misguided workers and by the
use of the red scare he ran our
comrade out of town.
In analyzing this incident, we all
agreed that our comrade should
have first walked into the working
class struggle talking to workers
and quietly selling the paper. After
he had few contacts and the
workers had chance to read the
paper over, he should have come
forward more boldly. The difference
in time would have been only
day, but we would have had con-
facts, whereas now we have none.
We will try these second tactics in
few days.

BY a Mine worker correspondent
JOENSTOWN, Pa.-Campaigning
and electioneering will be the main
topics confronting the miners be-
tween now and December. On the
one hand, Gear Lewis, demagog
Murray and Co. will be continuously
boosted by their henchmen. On the
other hand, these social-fascist
leaders of the U.M.WA. will be
boosting Roosevelt and his program
of Hunger, Fascism and War.
At the recent Labor Day rally in
Johnstown, Pa, local U.M.W.A. mis-
leaders presented demagog Murray
as a relentless fighter for the min
ers. Here was the man, they said,
that was responsible for the ST.
hour day; man who had battled
with 1900 coal operators for five
solid weeks in Washington, D. G.
and who had emerged from that
battle VIGOROUSLY. Well, the election
for international officers Of the UNI,
WA. is near, so we may well expect
these Lewis henchmen to be on the
job, clarifying their heroes" the
miners worst enemies.
Murray grated at length, and as
is his custom, made some statements
that are absolutely contrary to his
practices. He stated that by cooper
ating with the President we have
achieved IS day in place of the
$3.50 day. Through this same CO.
operation we have hour day in
stead OF the 10 or IA hour day. We
have moved from disorganization to
organization. These Improvements

In Providence.
BY a Worker Correspondent

PROVIDENCE, r. I've had a
meeting called by the Communist
Party Monday night in the Charles
Street Section italian, we have one
there every week.. 1t was the big
gest meeting we ever held there.
Most of the people are unemployed
or textile workers. We had between
1900 and 1000 people. A very en-
thusiastic meeting. The cops have
been trying to stop us from meeting
there in the last few weeks. But
they did not dare do anything that
night.
After the meeting we we're ap-
preached by two textile workers
Cbrothers), who were working in the
Hope Webbing Co., a narrow fabric
plant on Main Street, Pawtucket.
They worked in the dye house with
about 40 workers. The mill is unor-
ganized. 1t has around 400 working.
They all went on strike yesterday,
except the dye house workers The
dye house is in the rear of the plant
and is a separate building. These
two workers said, THE men want to
go on strike, but no pickets came
down and there was nobody to start
the walkout." 1t seems that the
pickets did not know there was
dye house in the rear so no one went
there. He said that even if We could
get half dozen people to picket the
place in the morning that no one
will go in.
The Communist Party promised
them that at least three of us would
be there and we would try to get
pickets from the front of the mill at
$50 am. We did this Tuesday
morning and workers did not go
into work. The place is now almost
all closed down except for few
girls in the main plant.
We had another meeting in the
same place Thursday night.

AS farmers in a dry farming dis
trict, among canyons, sage brush

for us as to how we can demon

the Farmers National Committee
of Action, and were getting along
nicely until all at once the red,
scare started, and to settle it all
Baptist preacher threw bomb
shell into our last meeting by an
attack on the reds. So we gathered
together our scattered forces, and
built the Communist Party. Since
we are aware of the fact that we
have to have something to build
around, we decided to come out
with straight Communist County
ticket for this fall election.
We happen to be on the main
survey for the military highway
from the Gulf of Mexico to Puget
Sound and a contract has been let
for the building of five and one
half miles of this road through here
for the sum of $4,000 Because
this work was coming up, great
smoke screen was laid for the I'M
employed. Since we have no tele-
phones, we sent out cars through
these canyons, and saw to it that
this smoke was raised

demonstration that shook the Off
Gals off their feet, and convinced
the unemployed that the work is to
be Power" job, and that the
main and sub-contractors- a
few business men-are the only
ones that will benefit. While this
demonstration was going on we
had the women and q bunch of
ragged and hungry kids making de-
mands on the relief office. They
got immediate results. Our COM
mittee met with the chief relief

and with the success of the district,
I think we will have success in the

anything they want. Thursday eve

guards around the mills. This shows
the South has the right spirit and
we urge all the workers to quit their
jobs and help us win as this is a

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
Flat Feet

L. K, New York.-The condition
you complain Of is due to a fat
tening of the foot. This is frequent
in people who do lots of walking or
who stand for a long period Of time.
1t is more common in women, be-
cause of high heels which shift the
weight Of their bodies to the front
part Of the foot. The skin under
the forefoot becomes hard and cal
loused and as a result walking is
uncomfortable and painful.
The treatment consists OF re-
moving the hardened or calloused
skin. This is easily dore in
physicians office and is entirely
painless. A corrective orthopedic
shoe with a metatarsal pad inserted
in the shoes very often completely
relieves the discomfort.

to face with the approaching farm
ers. Dumbfounded he stood there,
staring at them.
Sam Rogers wasted no words. A
swift punch from his hard first
knocked the thug to the ground. AS
he staggered up, another farmer
dragged him along.
Sam and Jake Snyder were the
first to enter the open door, their
guns levelled. But besides the two
prisoners only one man was in the
room.
Where are the rest?" asked
Snyder angrily.
They're gone away How did you
get here?"
Joyfully Ted and Davy rushed to
their father, who lay in the corner
with Don Elliot. Blood streamed
from cuts on their faces.
Fowler and Evans had let out
their fury before they left.
1t was easy enough to tie up the
drunken. thugs, who offered no re-
sistance when they saw that they
were outnumbered.
AS they were being trussed up, one
of the thugs muttered, 1.-THE dirty
rats had no right to leave us here

he's lucky he amt tied up here too.

get what's coming to him."
Then they all left the house, leav-
ing the exchange of prisoners. AS
they rode home. there we're many
words of praise for the quick action
the boys had taken.

and Davy finally got to bed-and it
was only then that they remem-
bered-
