SiSSeItOn Farmers
Smash Injunction
lpally worker Midwest Bnreaul

SISSETON, S. D.. June a.
South Dakota farmers and workers
Wednesday smashed the vicious in
junction against their organizations
and newspapers. Mass actions in
defiance of this injunction which
outlawed the Unite d Farmers
League and the Unemployed Coun-
ellis, and forbade the circulation of
the Daily Worker, Farmers Ma
tional Weekly and other militant
papers, forced Judge Fleeger to de-
clare the injunction void
Attorney General Mitner made a
savage attack against the United
Farmers League and the Councils,
and stated that unusual means
should be taken to crush such move
ments.
This victory, brought about di-
rectly by the open violation of the
injunction, followed closely on the
successful mass defense of the
seventeen workers and farmers
charged with rioting.

Sailors Low Pay Was
Cut; But Must Buy
Their Own Uniforms
By Sailor Correspondent,
U.S.S. Pennsylvania

NEW YORK.-The life Of the
seamen is not as rosy as 1t appears
on the surface. I will tell you that
all seamen, no matter on what ship,
are dissatisfied with the pay.
A first class seaman averages
about $54 month less 10 per cent.
A second class seaman gets $50
month less 10 per cent. Now figure
out the expenses that we have: Uni
form $40, pants IS, shoes SO. Tear
your pants, you have to replace
them and pay for them. You go
ashore in your dress uniform and if
this is made by a tailor it costs
generally $25.
Last year, in 1888, when F. D. r.,
the COMMUNICATIVE chief put that
Is per cent cut through, we felt
very bad, and we we're thinking of
the Invergordon "mutiny" of the
British fleet, but we could not get
together, we didn't know how! Five
per cent was returned in February
and they say that they will give US
another five per cent on July l.
Not Enough!
Imagine a married seaman who
has to support a wife and kid on
S4860 month, away from home.
It's tough. 1t can't be done. We
get ashore and We have to spend
money. The admirals and the Of
ficers are invited all over. The city,
clubs and society ladies entertain
them freely; they save money. We,
the gobs, spend our few dollars on
bad gin and little good time.
I am in the Navy because I could
not get job, but when my time
will be up, I will get the hell out
of it, and it will be soon; hope
before war breaks out. I dread to
be on board the flagship and enemy
planes above. 1t will just be too

Powhatan Miners

POWHATAN PIT, OIL will write
few lines on how a special meet
ing was transacted at Local union
5497 at Powhatan mine.
The officials, who are playing into
the hands of the coal operators,
called a special meeting without any
reason. They just wanted to pretty
themselves up for the election day
which is to take place June 80 at
our Local. I hope the opposition
will win.
The old machine started their
special meeting by telling the rank
and file that something should be
done about the layof which the coal
inspectors are the cause of. The

The Agitprop Commission of the
Communist Party, District Ohio
has just issued very interesting
and highly instructive little booklet
which helps to fill a great need in
our movement. 1t is called the
Workers Leaflet Manual" and
deals with purely technical matters.
1t is a readable, simply gotten-up
and easily understood booklet filed
with very practical advice and in
struction in its IS mimeographed
pages, accompanied by nine pages
of sample forms of lettering and
leaflets to illustrate how leaflets
are to be made up.
The Manual" discusses in a
helpful way, the general purpose
and approach to the planning Of
the leaflet from the standpoint of
appearance, layout, and effective
ness. In dealing with the contents
of leaflets, the manual fails to
touch upon a very important factor
in getting up an agitation leaflet.
This factor is that of understand
able demands Of, and organizational
directiveS to the workers. This is
very important if our agitation is
to take root in the masses and if
they are to know what to do about
the lessons they have learned from
the leaflet.
1t is therefore important that this
should be stressed in a later i'm
proved edition of the manual The

AGREEMENT ENDS
LONG STRIKE

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)- Settle
ment of a protracted strike in the
needle trades in Los Angeles, Calf,
has been reported to the National Re-
covery Board by the Los Angeles Re-
gional Labor Board. The strike, which

agreement signed by Al manufacture
ers and the International Ladies
Garment Workers Union.
The settlement provides that both
parties agree to abide by the decision
of board of arbitration which shall
pass upon the present causes of dis
pute as well as drawing up a plan for
the adjustment of future disputes.
The agreement is to last until August

PUBLIC PRINTER
Asks Five-Day Week For
Government Printing
Office

Washing ngton.-Public Printer George
Carter renewed his recommendation
for five-day week at the govern
ment printing office in his annual re-
port to congress.
Mr.. Carter explained that under the
first economy act he was able to effect
a five-day week at the G. P. O. from
July 1, 1882, to last September 8.
After that date, the second economy
act with its Is per cent pay cut re-
established the Saturday half-holiday
"The Saturday half-holiday," Car
ter said, "is difficult of administration
and disturbing to the work routine by
requiring compensatory time off on
another day if employees work more
than four hours on Saturday.
Therefore the public printers rec
ommendation of five-day work week
is renewed in the interest of more
efficient operation of the G. P. o. and
in justice to it's employees, who are
entitled to a shorter work week in
accord with the NRA."

chinist, passed away at his home, 221
Progress avenue, last Saturday morn
ing at $3.50 o'clock. The large number
who viewed the remains at the Webb

was employed as a foreman at the
Ford plant. Previous to that as a
machinist he worked at his trade in

COAL MEN FIGHT
Natural Gas Code; Charge
1t Menaces Jobs of
Miners

Washington, d. C. (ILNS)-Repre-
sentatives of the coal industry ap-
peared before Leighton PEBBLES,
NRA deputy administrator, to oppose
the proposed code for the natural gas
industry, which was declared an un-
fair competitor of coal. The coal men
charged that the natural gas code will
increase unemployment in the coal
industry.
John D. Battle, traffic manager of
the National Coal Association, said
that natural gas now was displacing
nearly $4,000 900 tons of coal year,
thus displacing $4,000 miners.
"For every ton of coal displaced one
man loses a days work." he said.
j. B. Scott, Of the Anthracite Insti-
tute of New York, supported Battle,
and w. Y. Wildman, of the Illinois
Coal Operators Association, said that
the displacement of soft coal by ma
tural gas took 5000 men out of en-
ployment in Illinois alone.
The proposed code contains no
trade practice sections. Producers
and dealers in other fuels insist that
competition between natural gas and
other industries cannot be fair unless
the gas industry abides by those
rules which are recognized as the
basis for fair competition.
