ward the Steel and Metal Workers
Industrial Union as the organizer
OF, and fighter for the steel work
ers, and ties it up with the June
3rd conference at Indiana Harbor
organized by this union to build
united front action. The article
correctly brings forward the Com
munist Party, who endorses Call
on all workers to elect delegates and
join the S. NJ. w. 1. u" The
enumeration of the list of demands
as basis for this action is good.
There is a weakness in this 9TH
erWise good feature article in that
there is an omission of simple and
| clear directives to the workers on
how to go about organizing the
preparations for the June 3rd con-
ference. The method and the pob-
lens to be raised in agitation, how
to organize in the departments, the
basis of representation, ETC., are i'm
portant, if we don't want to let
things hang in the air. We cannot
expect to issue a call and wait for
the results without seeing each &C
ton through to the end in an Or
ganizational way.

tect ourselves. We work good and
shoot we'll.
The good relations with the or
ganizers of our farms help us very
much. We have in our farm COM
rade Sulzer, the chief of the politi-
cal department. He is a good man
"a professor. The centre sent him
to help and lead us. We love him
very much and are in very close
friendly relation with him. We
know everything about him and he
knows all our lives. He is very often
in our Kolchoz. He teaches us and
learns from us.
Some time ago we organized a
festival. We invited comrade Sui
ger and the secretary of the party
district committee Comrade Merku-
low. At this festival Comrade Sui
zer-the professor, danced nth the
best snock-worker of our farm
Pelageia Noyikova.
That is in short our life. We hope
that the readers of the Daily
Worker" will read with interest how
we live and struggle for our new
life. We in our turn wait your
letters about the life and revolu-
tionary struggle of American farm
ers. We read with great interest
in the newspapers about the life of
foreign workers. We are glad to
read about your successes - and
sorry to read about failures.

perts serving on the faculty of the
Summer School are Professor Az
bert Pinkevitch, President of the
Second State University of Moscow;
Professor I. Svadkovski, Director Of
the Central Pedagogical Laboratory
in Moscow, and Professor j. Meskin,
Director of the Children's Museum
of the Peoples Commissariat Of
Education. These courses comprise
lectures on art, education, sociology,
economics, psychology, Russian and
aeronautics.
The Accommodations are of two
kinds: the dormitory plan and
the regular hotel service OF first,
second or third class. Under
either plan, three full meals daily,
guide and interpreter, and rail
and motor travel are provided.
Opportunity for athletic, cultural
and social activities, after school
hours, are abundant. There are
separate dormitorieS for men and
women and the fees are arranged
so that they are within reach of
the humblest purse. The total
registration fee is $3.50 and the
tuition fee is $40 per course. The
minimum cost for travel and
maintenance for the six weeks in
the Soviet Union is $184.50 The
approximate round trip steamship
fare from New York is about $3.50.
Yes, you can arrange with the
World Tourists for your trip, as
well as for everything else con-
nected with it.
Regarding the credits for the
courses, the Anglo-American In

may offer the certificates issued
by the University Of Moscow to
meet the requirements for actual
salary increment, or what is COM
monty known as alertness credit.

agree with the privilege granted our
District in helping the Pittsburgh
District to establish a book store.
In the past, we have informally
discussed how we can give help to
the Pittsburgh District since we
realize its Importance as the CEN
ter Of basic industries in the U. S.
All the comrades of our District
Secretariat enthusiastically agreed
to contribute 500 worth of books
to the book store you are estab-
fishing. This means 500 worth at
the wholesale price you would have
to pay for same.
1--WE would like to hear from you
as to the kind of books as well as
the number OF each that you would
like. We will then try to supply
the books according to your list. I
believe that you should have in
mind, when selecting the titles that
you want, that there are many So
called old books which are basic
and also many of which would be
new for the Pittsburgh District.
Nevertheless, we leave it to you to"
send us the l!s3 and we will NIL
it as near as our stock will permit.
With the mood and determina-
ton Of the steel workers sharply
developing towards struggle, we feel
that our Pittsburgh District will
soon be in the forefront of mass
struggles involving workers Of other
basic industries also and thereby
becoming our strongest and most
important Party District"

and unemployed is overlooked. This
is OF particular Importance since the
steel workers suffer a great deal
from partial and complete unem-
ployment. Here also is an oppor-
tunity to build wide forms of or
carnations that will help the en-
ployed and unemployed, as was the
case several years ago in the strike
Of the steel workers in Warren,
Ohio.
Must Be Strengthened
Both papers must be strengthened
ideologically so that they will be
able to approach problems politi-
cally and in an organizational sense.
Comrades will then be able to seize
upon every incident, to analyze and
explain to the workers the mean
ing and significance of it, and con-
sciously to direct the workers in the
most skillful manner to carry out
organized actions. These papers
must teach and show by example
just how certain action is to be
carried out from the preparatory
stages, through the various actions
to its conclusion. The workers
should also be taught what organ
national consolidation and Gains
should result of such work.
The workers should be taught
how to build committees in the
mills, how to build the Steel and
Metal Workers Industrial Unicn and
opposition work, how to involve the
women, ycUth, Negro workers in
practical actions in defense of their
interests based upon their special
problems and demands. 1t would
be well also for the Gary Steel
Worker to print at the top of the
paper the city in which the mil
is located, since many large corpora.

Lumber Workers Win Struggle

places in mill, key back Of glass
for emergencies; 81 that a safety
committee be elected from the Mill
Committee and approved by the
workers; 4 recognition of Mil
Committee elected by all the work
ers. No monthly men to participate
in the election; 81 that no intimids-
ton be used against workers or
ganizing.
The NL.W.U. started organizing
in the mill about nine weeks ago
June first we checked up on cur
position and found we had over a
majority of the workers in the mill
organized. We formulated a set OF
demands based on our needs and
the conditions in the plant. and
called a mass meeting of all the
workers in the mill. The demands
were adopted by a standing vote.
A committee was elected to pre-
sent the demands. The committee
reported Monday morning at a mass
meeting in front Of the mill. The
company's answer was mo-. We
voted unanimously for a strike.
A registration of the strikers be-
gan Immediately after the election
of a broad strike committee. During
the strike the company was only
able to recruit seven scabs ard they
were hauled into the mill in Royal
Blue taxicabs, driven by A. F. of L.
drivers. This presented sorry
spectacle, supposedly union drivers
hauling scabs through a picket line
under police protection. The driv-
ers told the pickets that they had
orders from "scabby" Brewster,
their secretary, to do it.
On the other hand, the rank and
file of the striking longshoremen
helped us on our picket line. We in
turn voted tonight to go down to
the LILA. en- masse tomorrow and
help the longshoremen on their
picket line. The organized unem-
ploved also assisted us.
This is the first victory won in
the Seattle saw mills in number
Of years. Our plans now are to
prepare for more struggles by get
ting all of the mills to participate
the next time. Our most immediate
task is the building of the National
Lumber Workers Union, Our Union.

Higher Pay Won.
By Lumbermen in.
LempSter Strike.
By a Worker Correspondent

LEBfPSTER. N. H.-Twenty lum-
bermen went out on strike here for
higher wages. They have been work
ing for $3.50 a day, but now, be-
cause of the strike, they have won
an increase of Is cents a day.
They work for Charles Emerson,
who has the reputation of paying
his men the least of any mill oper-
ator in this section. He makes his
mill help start ahead of time and
makes them work after quitting
time, thereby getting around the
code limit.
In the winter of 1928, Emerson
worked his men so cheap that at
the end of the week, in order to
keep his men living, he gave them
a bag of Red Cross -four with their
weeks wages.

Letters from
OUrReUderS
GOLD IN BANKS-NONE To
FEED CHILDREN OF
UNEMPLOYED

Dear Editor.

Dear Editor:
I read your paper, the Daily
Worker, several times each week
and admire your frank way of tell
ing the truth about our economic
ills. I am retail marchant, very
small, of course, and have just be-
gun to realize which side of the
fence I belong on.
On April % and May I several of
the public schools paraded the
school children from the fifth
grade on down to the second grade,
to the Federal Reserve Bank to
show them the tons of silver and
gold that there are in the bank,
and gave the kids a lecture, with
the help Of the bankers, to tell the
kids how much gold there was in
this country. While they gave the
talk with the vaults of the bank
open, so they could see the gold in
pile, two guards stood on guard
with machine guns.
The following week the kids that
had to have lunch checks given
them were refused, for the reason
that money was short.
My kid is in the third grade and
I had her ask the teacher, what had
become of the gold in the bank
that she had seen May /? And
why is it that all the local chain
stores of Wall Street in this town
remained open all day Memorial
Day, while us boobs closed up to
decorate the dead soldiers graves?
Also gave her Brisbane's article
about so much gold dust being dis
covered in Russia, and had my kid
ask her teacher to read i and OK
plain it to her class. The result,
I have received instructions to see

some of the English-reading farm
ers, and some I send to Ohio. You
see the Daily goes a far way.
The farm youth was here very
enthusiastic about going to war, but
I spoke with the young boys, and
they changed their minds"
Second part of letter will be
given tomorrow.

PARIS COMMUNE COLLECTIVE
FARM, U. S. S. RIVE peasants of
the collective farm Paris Com
mune" want to tell you through our
own "Krestianskaia Gazetta" (peaS-
ants paper about our life here.
We had a very hard life in the
pre-War time. We had over $50
grown-up people in the village and
only 800 acres of land. The land
owners took the best land and gave
the peasants the poorest-sand and
clay. Our village was known as the
poorest in the region. Out of ITO
men, ia drudged for landowners
and rich peasants.
We had no school. In the whole
village only one peasant, Michael
Konytchev, went to school in the
neighbor village at a distance of
five miles. Thirty-one houses had
no horses. Only "a houses had
COWS.
Only two men in the village lived
good life-the landowner and the
rich peasant "kulak," Kalinov. We
lived that way till 1917.
The Soviet government changed
our life. In 1880 we organized the
collective farm, and 65 families
entered into it. We named our vii
lage the Paris Commune.
Since that time our life became
happy. All our children are study
ing. We built school; IA children
are in the high school. The illit-
eracy among the grown-up peasants
is liquidated. Even the 70-year-ol
peasant Ivan Polojenko learned to
read and write. He was taught by
his nephew Vania. Now the grand
father is writing articles in our
wallpaper. He tells us how to pillow,
SOW, etc.
All the members of the collective
farm are on good terms. We work
in the best way. There is no place
for lazy idlers. We have plenty OF
bread for ourselves, and give to our
government a part.
We have 48 horses in common
belonging to the whole farm. We
grow our collective farm herd. We
have 13 COWS. Every worker of the

Chicago, Nov. 3.-{R-dood rains
beneficial to crops in various parts Of
domestic winter wheat territory led
to lower wheat prices Saturday after
moderate early advances.
The effect Of domestic moisture was
more than q counterbalance to heavy
rains In sections Of Argentina unfa-
vorable to crop prospects there. Low

were current at the close.
Wheat closed unsteady, ~ under

and provisions showing I to 81 cents
gain.
Reactions from advances in wheat
took place when the price Of Chicago
December delivery mounted to with
in u cent Of the dollar 4 bushel
mark. Resting orders to sell were
encountered at that stage. Part of
the selling was apparently due to
closing Of spreads with other mar
kets. There was also evidence of con-
siderable p-ofit-taxing on the part Of
recent buyers here.
On the dips, the market went more
than . cent under early top levels
and to fractionally below Fridays fin
ish. Commission house support for
the market. however, developed on
the way down, with demand based
more or less on uncertainty OF crops
In Argentina and Australia. Another
steadying influence was ! sharp up
turn Of corn prices at Buenos Aires.
Chicago prices Of corn and oats,
though. mainly paralleled the fluc-
tuations Of wheat.
Provisions held about steady.

market finished q week Of slow, hesi-
tant advances Saturday with little
further uplift, concentrated chiefly in
few specialties. The final tone was
firm, with gains Of fractions to q
point or more predominating. Trans
fers for the two-hour session approx

News at the end of the week Of q

A few tobacco stocks were higher.
American Sumatra and Universal

Oils and alcohols were a little high

In commodities, cotton was slightly
firm, closing 20 to 40 cents a bale
higher. Rubber futures. however, de-
