A new post office was recently
established in a hill town which had
never boosted an office before. 1t

a novelty, and neatly in town
wrote a number of letters. to
friends in other places.
1t was not long before COM
plants began to be sent in to the
postal authorities saying that the
mail service was a failure. Finally
the Post Office Department sen an
Inspector around to make inquiries.
He asked the postmaster: what
become of all the mail that was
posted here? People say it has

postmaster as he pointed to a big
mail sack in the corner. ri amt

Florence Crosse, 1884 Broadway,

that she was being paid on a piece
work basis of Is cents for jacket
Innings and Is and a half cents for

This is a direct violation of the

is prohibited, not only by the Code
itself, but by the agreement be-
tween the Fur Workers Industrial
Union and the manufacturers.

dictatorship, and to release the
enemies of the workers state.
The final decision provided that
it was not advisable or "appro-
pirate" to continue negotiations be-
tween the Internationals.
A Step Forward
The same letter, however, made
step forward. 1t declared on be-
half of the Executive Committee of
the S. L. l., that the decision of
March, 1888, forbidding unity of
action with the Communist Parties,
without approval of the Interna-
tional, had automatically expired
with the new uprisings. and from
now on every section may carry on
its negotiations in complete indie
pendence."
This opens up new vista in the
struggle for the united front against
world fascIsm.
Glass lines throughout the world
are growing tighter, sharper, more
bitter. The Spanish workers en-
tered the battle against fascism
bravely. Everywhere the fight must
and will be taken up-encouraged,
inspired and emboldened by the
self-sacrificing daring OF the Span
ish proletariat They showed us the
way to unity of action in its highest
phases.
In the United States fascism is
no longer an article of import. 1t
is developing rapidly, even to the
extent of the actual creation of the
armed fascist hordes. The Roose-
welt regime is building the foun-
dations of fascism and is acting to
create the forces to occupy the new
state structure.
Our reply must be to throw our
selves more energetically than ever
into the realization OF the united
front. We cannot let the European
lessons go unheeded. We must act
and act quickly.

North Dakota is one of the dis
tricts which is far below so per
cent of its quota. 1t is in nineteenth

a serious criticism.

nicious indifference. The Daily
Worker ought to give District IL
an electric touch"
Need Electric Touch
An electric touch" is what North
Dakota, South Dakota, st. Louis,
Houston, w Virginia and such
larger districts as Minneapolis and
Milwaukee direly need at this
moment. None of these districts
seem to be taking the drive seri-
ously, If the results prove anything.
st. Louis, for instance, with quota
of $500, has not raised $3.50.
Though these districts may be
small, as far as Party member
ship is concerned, their difficult
ties were taken into consideration
when the quotas were assigned.
These districts can do good work
when they try. Houston, for in
stance, ran away with the field
in the circulation drive last sum-

quota!

these districts to finish their

In New Terror

BIRMINGHAM, Nov. %. - Late
Saturday night the homes of three
Negro workers in North Birmingham
were invaded by hooded Klansmen
and police who have openly joined
forces in a new reign of terror upon
the workers.
The fresh terrorizing in this sec

brutal beating of Steve Simmons,
Negro worker by members of the
cowardly Khan. who kicked down
his door and attacked him.

police and Khan Friday night we're
Dolphus Frazier, John Simmons, a
60-year-old worker, and the Byers
family, At TAO pm, three police
thugs in uniform burst in upon j.
Henderson, a worker living in this
section. They searched his place,
found nothing and left after threat
ening Henderson.
These police thugs then met with
13 other terrorists including the
three policemen, donned hoods and
proceeded to the house of John
Simmons, whom they beat merci-
lessly. They then moved on to the
house of Sam Byers, three blocks
away.
They divided forces and APP
preached the house, eight at the
front door, and eight at the back.
Breaking down the door, they
threatened the men present and
stripped the two grown daughters
to the waist and dashed them.
This united front of police thugs
and K K. K. degenerates has the
generous support of the landlords
and bosses of Alabama and par
ticularly Of the local red baiters led
by Bulldog Moser of the Red Squad.
Two white men recognized
among the terror mob were Earl
Walker and Dunk Shields.
