A brief glance at the latest gov

give a good picture of the in
creasing poverty of the farmer.
Stock feed is growing ever
more scarce since the drought
Even poultry has hit the "skids,"
much less being produced this
year than for the same months
of last year. There has been a
small increase in the volume Of
dairy products, but the boost in
feed prices paid by the farmer
has much more than wiped out
his small gain in increased pro
ductiOn. Milk production in Aug
ust was the lowest in the last 10
years. Meat production with the
exception of animals plowed I'M
der by the insane government
program is 13 per cent lower
than last year.
As result of the combined
forces of the criminal AAA pillow
under program and the drought
that covered 20 states, the total
crop estimates for August were
placed at seven per cent below
those for July.

The ffty-fourth annual convention of the
AT of l. is in session The eyes of the working
class are focused upon it to see what answer
the Greens, Lewis and VOLS will give to the
burning questions that are facing the workers
in the U. S. A., such as struggle against the
NRA, against company unions struggle for
sympathetic strikes, for Unemployment Insur-
ance (HR 1888, and against War and Fascism
However, based on our past experience we
can already come to the conclusion that the big
bureaucrats of the ALL will try to continue to
forward their class collaboration policy in a
much more intensified manner that ever before.
To put over the NRA, the Roosevelt govern
ment had to get the support of betrayers from
the labor ranks, men best fitted for the job.
Thus we see that Mr. McGrady was given the
post as Assistant Secretary of Labor, that
Green, Hillman, Lewis and many others are on
the Labor Board whose duties are to break
strikes.

SEATTLE, Oct. 4-"ISU offic-

ed Front Committee going ahead
for strike Monday. iSU has five
thousand pledges, united front
twenty thousand. Twelve humid
red New York Seamen meet front
ISU hall, denounce sellout, and
pledge support. United Front
developments indicate action
Monday
The above telegram, from Bax-
ter Jones, New York received
today, shows the seamen on the
Atlantic Coast are in revolt
against another sell-out such as
was put over on the Pacific
Coast. Here the men went back
to work pending arbitration,
which has never taken place.
MWIU Backs Fight
The Marine Workers Indust-
rial Union is leading in tine
struggle to build the United
Front of all seamen to fight their
common enemy, the ship-owners.
The longshOremen too, are de-
nouncing Ryan on the Atlantic
Coast. Unorganized longshOre-
men in the port of Philadelphia
have already gone out on strike.
In Local 1895, Ryan has ruled
that any one accepting red lit
erature will be fined one dollar
for every piece of literature he
accepts.
The ruling has been made that
there will be no strikes among
longshOremen pending the deci-
sion of the presidential labor
board.
However, on the Pacific Coast
rank and file strikes are con-
stantly breaking out. Four hun
d red longshOremen recently
went on strike on the American
Hawaiian docks to force removal
of scabs, in San Francisco. Here
