6-Cent Average Wage

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. IA
Wages Of from two and-one- to
6 cents an hour are being paid to
American workers, despite President
Roosevelt's glowing speeches about
improved conditions and N. r. A.
minimums.
These rates were cited as the
average wage for home workers in
the knitted outwear industry, at a
recent code hearing here.
Under the code, home work is per-
mitted until the end of the year,
with committee appointed mean
while to study" the subject and
report on piece rates and control.
This generous" committee has
proposed wages ranging from 10
cents to Is cents an hour, as fol-
lows: Infants wear, 10 cents an
hour; hand crocheted headwear, 10
cents an hour; hand joining, finish
ing and trimming of garments, Is
cents; hand knitted underwear,
161a cents; hand crocheting of adult
garments, Is cents; and hand join

Following the example of Toledo,

Each section also promises to re-
port the progress of the drive at
the end of each month, sending
these to the Daily Worker.
ION this point, the Daily Worker
urges that reports be sent to it for
publication; even every day. This
applies to activities of every group
and every individual in the drive
Districts, Sections, Units, mass or
CARNATIONS, workers clubs, etc.
1t is such activity as in the Cleve-

Socialist competitions are vital
among the districts, sections and

They are evidence of fervor and
responsibility in the drive. Com
peting groups usually finish their
quotas more quickly-and send in
more money-than others.

Registration

Com munist p arty
Issues Appeal
To Voters

DETROIT, Mich, Oct. 14.-The
Communist Party Election Cam
paign Committee has issued last
minute appeal to all its supporters
to register in order to be able to
vote in the November elections. To-
day is the final date for registra-
ton.
All those who are voting for the
first time, or voters who have
changed their residence since they
last voted, must register.
The campaign committee is issu-
ing thousands of copies of special
leaflet addressed to trade union
members, calling on them to vote
Communist in the approaching.
elections.
The leaflet analyses the actions
of the various political parties and
exposes the anti-labor policies Of
the Democratic, Republican and So
cialist Parties. 1t also deals with
the role of the A. F. of l.. leaders
and their treacherous mon parti-
san" policy.
There are those in the ranks of
labor" the leaflet says, who have
advised trade unionists to vote for
the winner. For many years work
ers have followed this policy and as
result have LOST with the winner,
workers were told to reward
our friends and punish our enc
mics, to vote for the best among
those who could win to choose the
lesser evil This policy resulted
in rewarding the workers enemy,
in placing the enemy in office and
in Furnishing only labor.
There are no good men who will
serve the interests OF labor inside
the old parties. There are no lesser
evils. What must become increas-
ingly clear to every honest trade
unionist in this fifth year of crisis
and mass unemployment is that the
workers mus have their own party,
workers party, which will boldly
defend the interests of labor against
the attacks of capital"

Outlines Actions To Stop Lynch
Murder
Nothing must stand in the way
of stopping this murder, which in
wolves every right Of the oppressed
Negro people, and is being planned
as a direct, bloody attack upon
them. the signal for wholesale
lynchings, terror, and increase Of
the. already unbearable oppression
of the Negro. people.
What is necessary now Is the
broadest united front action, in
which every sincere friend Of the
Scottsboro boys will participate.
With this in mind, we propose
the holding Of conferences on the
broadest united front basis, irvolv--
ing churches, unions and mass or
ganizations, lodges, fraternal or
CARNATIONS, of every political, re-
ligious, or national af1liation. We
feel that on this issue, every friend
of the Scottsboro boys, every organ
ization and individual who is inter-
ested in the Scottsboro defense, can
and must be united.
Must Rouse Entire Toiling
Population
Such conferences must be held in
every city in the United States, to
formulate plans and direct actions
which will rouse the millions of Ne
gro and white workers throughout
this country and throughout the
world to such action as will force
the Supreme Court Of the United
States to grant the application for
review, to reverse the lynch deci-
sion of the Alabama State Supreme
Court, and to set the Scottsboro
boys Internationally free. This is
in the power of that court.
We propose demonstrations, pa
rades, meetings, in every city and in
every neighborhood, to expose the
lynch plans of the southern rulers,
their maneuvers and the maneuvers
Of their agents.
Protest Actions on a National Scale
We propose that such conferences
formulate plans for action on ma
tional scale, involving every organ
ization of the Negro people and the
white toilers, including national
delegation to President Roosevelt,
in whose power it is to free the
Scottsboro boys unconditionally.
We propose actions on a local
and city scale everywhere, including
psrades and demonstrations which
will demand from city and state Of
ficials their endorsement of the de-
mand for the unconditional free
dom of the Scottsboro boys, to be
communicated by them to the
Supreme Court of the United States
to President Roosevelt, and to Gov
ernor B. M. Miller of Alabama.

Union Strikes

MONTGOMERY, Ala.-The chief
demand of the cotton pickers' strike,
81 for picking hundred pounds,
has been won on the large planta-
ton belonging to Howard Graves,
on the border of Lee and Tallapoosa
Counties. Choppers monthly credit
allowances have also been increased,
from $40 to SIS. The strike is I'M
Ger the leadership of the Share
Choppers Union.
On General Pearson's plantation
in Tallapoosa County 1000 cotton
pickers refused to gin their cotton
at the landlords gin and carried it
to an independent mill in Dade-
vile. In this way. they prevented
the landlord from selling their cot
ton and keeping it for debts"
Practically every landlord in
Tallapoosa County has offered to
increase wages for cotton picking to
rs cents a hundred. The cotton
pickers, however, are holding out for
81 a hundred. Even beyond the
borders Of the strike area, landlords
are raising wages from the usual
IS or 40 cents, in fear that their
pickers will join the strike.
White cotton pickers and share
troopers are joining the union in
considerable numbers, sitting in the
same locals with the Negroes.
The relief authorities have come
to the aid of the landlords and are
doing their best to break the strike,
without success. Thad Holt, state
relief administrator, sent orders
throughout the state that all cotton
pickers who are offered employment
in the fields in their local commu-
mites, and who refuse, are to be cut
off the relief rolls.

AS q result Of the recent expert

Already there is greater organiza-
ton and unity in their ranks.
I.S.U. Leaders Spread DemoraIiza-
ton
Thousands of seamen know that
the I. S. U. leaders were the main
agencies used by the shipowners to
confuse, divide and demoralize their
ranks. Also, these scabby officials,
openly and brazenly, recruited scabs
to replace the crews that came out
on strike.
The vast majority of the seamen
realize that Axtell, Olander and
company did everything possible to
prevent the workers from winning
their demands. These seamen know
that the United Front Strike Com
mittee did everything possible to
help the seanlen march forward to
victory.
In spite of the official" blessing
given by the shipowners and NR.A.
to these strikebreakers, thousands
of seamen, during the struggle, have
become convinced that it is the Ma

they must look toward for leader

know that the Marine Workers In

gram, the ability and willingness to
organize the struggle, and a lead

the rank and file. The increased
strength and influence of the M. w.

seamen will carry out their plans

In ITO cities reporting, the num-
Der of families in relief increased
from 1,602,507 to 1,610,220 between
August and September, while relief
expenditures were slashed from $49,-
300, 900 to $4S,267 900, Hopkins report
stated. In New York City alone
there was 10 per cent less money
spent for relief in September than
in August, where, although appro-
priations for each month were the
same, the city refused to spend its
entire relief allotment in the face
of increased restitution.
August was the latest month for
which Hopkins gave totals. These
figures showed sharp rise in the
number of families on the relief
lists which rose from 100000 to
100000 during the one month
period.
