GREELEY, Colo, June 90 P).-
John A. Dalton and James Dickey OF
the sugar section of the A. A. A. meet
ing here yesterday with sugar beet
growers from Colorado, Nebraska and
wyoming, indicated the Federal Gov

SUPPORT the Farmers
National Weekly

THE Farmers National Weekly, launched
L last March as paper expressing the
conditions, needs, program and movement
of the oppressed farmers of the country,
is the only national farmers paper pub
lished in the interests of the small and middle
the rank and file farmers All other national papers
without exception voice the programs of the capital
ist farmer and other exploiting interests. They are
really concerned about how to get more out of the
smaller farmers rather than with how to solve their
problems.
The maintenance of this paper is of vital con-
Germ to not only the ruined and hard pressed farm
ers, but all workers and workers organizations as
we'll We are all fighting against the same enemies
Today we need than ever this champion
of the struggle for relief to the needy farmers We
need its exposure of the New DeaI-AAA. plans to
eliminate millions of rank and file farmers from
commercial production and to push them off the
farm altogether or into subsistence farming Hitler
has also been degrading German farmers and work
to subsistence farming, since he came to power
Today the cotton farmers suffer under COM
pulsory reduction program. And result of the
vote on the Bankhead Bill which forces through
the reduction vote carried through by high sound
ing phrases and promises, pressure from the land
lords, denial Of free voting, and discrimination
against the Negroes, Secretary Wallace halls this
victory for fascist methods, and specuates on how
soon compulsory reduction can be extended also to
the northern farmers. Forty cotton farmers out of
every hundred who eligible to vote did not
do SO. This reduction program means greater ruin
for the smaller farmers and greater control of the
market for the capitalist farmers and marketing
trusts.
The Farmers Weekly is needed to expose all the
schemes cooked up by the reformist farm leaders
to benefit the rich at the expense of the poor
The paper must have 5000 more subscribers in
order to become self-supporting. Every organiza-
ton interested in the struggles of the impoverished
farmers can help get these subscriptions 1t is
small number but it means the continued existence
Of the paper.
But in order to keep going until it gets these
subscriptions, it needs 500 per week to cover its
deficit AL sympathetic organizations of individuals
can help by sending in paid greetings to its Ami
versary Campaign, which begins Jan. to March /
by suying shares in the Farmers National Educa-
tional Association, which publishes the paper and
by donations. Address 1877 South LOOMS St., Chi
cago, Ill.
Surely these tasks are not great, and should
easily be carried through. The Daily Worker sup
ports this campaign and requests all interested
papers to reprint this appeal and to give publicity
to this campaign for subscription, funds and sup
port to guarantee the continued existence of the
Farmers Weekly.

Those Executed in
the Il. S. r.

ENEMIES of the Soviet Union are busy
IA trying in every way to spread every
conceivable lie about the executions of the
assassins and white guard terrorists in the
Soviet Union
One of the usual tricks employed to
prejudice opinion against the Soviet Union is to de-
clare that the criminals executed were hastily gath
cred up and shot without examination
This is deliberate, conscious distortion. These
lies and ISLANDERS ignore the established facts that
those executed were of known terrorist groups.
They had been sent into the Soviet Union by capt.
talist powers intent on speeding against the
Soviet Union. These facts are openly Dragged
about in the Fascist" Russian paper in the U. S,
and in the Hearst press by Levine They we're sent
into the Soviet Union for the specific purpose of
assassinating Soviet leaders
They had been gathered up over a period of
months after their connections and their plots had
been carefully traced. Their guilt was established
by Soviet tribunal, that is tribunal OF the prole
tartan dictatorship The only thing that remained
was what sentence was to be carried out.
Their fate was sealed by the fact that one of
their terrorist groups, to which Nicolaev belonged
had accomplished its object of assassination by
numbering Comrade Sergei Kirov.

Finnish Fascism Arms for War:
Exchanges Food for Armaments
BY LimbGch

Military papers write that on
December 6, 1880, the soldiers in
Viborg decorated the entire road
from the drilling grounds to the
barracks with red flags The off,
GERS could do nothing but curse, for
the overwhelming majority of the
soldiers were behind the affair.
The red flag has been raised and
slogans have been painted in many
places. Most Of the slogans say:
Down with imperialist war" Long
live the Soviet Union" Long live
Soviet Finland etc.
Soldiers Sing Red Songs.
T h singing of revolutionary
songs is common among the SOL
diers. 1t is related that while re-
turning from drills an officer COM
manded his men to sing patriotic
song. But the command was not
needed even when renewed. The
officer said, well, then, go ahead
and sing whatever you know" The
soldiers came out with THE March
of Free Russia" Pretending not to
understand what it was all about,
the officer said, That's much bet
ter, I knew that you are good at
singing"
When the governor attempted to
speak in Kuopio the soldiers made
such racket that the speech had
to be stopped. After that the SOL
diers sang revolutionary songs. The
soldiers have organized other dem
onstratiye mass actions in drills,
during dinner, in entertainment,
etc.
In 1881, the soldiers in Abo pro-
tected workers demonstration
against police attack.
The soldiers have no political
rights in the army Military SER
vice does not give the toilers any
advantages or improvements. No
attention has been paid to demands
for the improvement of the soldiers
conditions. Such demands have in
Guided the increasing of the daily
allowance, the removal of certain
officers, the abolition of inhuman
punishments, furloughs, formation
of soldiers committees, promotion
on the basis of ability, etc. The de-
mand for the dispersment of the

regular plague on the country,
has not been carried out. This is

Soviet Union Decree
Gives 1905, $40 Tons
OF Seed to Farmers

MOSCOW, Dec. % (By Wirelessl.
In the United States more than
100000 farmers and farm work
ers must accept drought, famine,
and the rop-destruction and cattle
slaughter program of Roosevelts
Department of Agriculture as "acts
Of God" working in the interest of
the grain monopolists and bankers.
But in the Soviet Union, as ex-
ampled by today's decree of the
workers and peasants government
to set aside 1,293,549 tons of seed
and fodder for any collective farms
which have suffered from drought,
the well-being of the Soviet collec-
tive farmer is the first considera-
ton.
The collective farmers and telling
individual peasant in regions and
republics which have completed
their annual plan of grain delivery
and have completely provided the
seed reserves for 1885 sowing are
being encouraged to sell their sur
plus grain both to the government
and to cooperative organizations,
as well as in town and village mar
kets and at railway stations.

SATURDAY. DECEMBER %, 1884
DeStitutiOn Increases

president GREEN of the American
L Federation of Labor yesterday re-
ported that 100000 workers lost their
jobs last month, drastic increase in I'M
employment. He gave the total number
of unemployed at 11459,OO0, the highest figure re-
ported by the A. F. of L. since July, 1888 He fur
ther says that 100000 farm lsborers who had JOBS
last year" are now unemployed
Yet in cold figures Green underestimate the
actual number of unemployed-a figure that is
closer to 900 than the figure he gives Green
is forced to admit 100000 additional jobless in one
month To soften this startling drop in jobs he
cloaks the actual figures by distortng those which
he had previously given.
Thus the December, 1884, issue of the American
Federationist official organ of the Executive Com
mittee of the A. F. of L., gives Green's previous
estimates For November, 1888, the figure is given
in the Federationist at 1851 900. Yesterday, TO
cloak the devastating losses in employment during
the past year Green suddenly changes this to
II 100000 for November. Actually, on the basis of
his previous estimates. s0S00O workers lost their
Jobs in one year of the N. r. A.
Green issues figures; he complains piously that
the employers are not doing their share" But
at the same time he follows out the plans of the
Roosevelt administration and the employers. He
supports the Roosevelt schemes on relief cuts and
denial of unemployment insurance He supports
the policies OF Roosevelt TO deny all Unemployment
insurance benefits to the present army of the I'M
employed.
THE Roosevelt administration will not loosen up
without persistent struggle. The relief to the
unemployed and the granting of real unemploy-
ment insurance is dependent upon the fight which
is waged by the employed and unemployed workers.
United front actions involving the membership
of the American Federation of Labor and the So
cialist Party, unity of all workers and farmers in
local relief struggles and in support of the Workers
Unemployment Insurance Bill and the National
Congress for Unemployment Insurance, will deter
mine the effectiveness of the fight waged.
The vast millions Of workers who are supporting
the Workers Bill ana the National Congress for
Unemployment Insurance can be the determining
factor if swung into immediate action.
