The Drought Crisis

Roosevelt is investigating" the drought area.
But 25OOO,OOO people, the impoverished farmers and
their families being crushed by the joint blows Of the
Roosevelt AAA farm and the furies of the heat
wave.
And the Roosevelt government does nothing for them
It subsidies the greatest slaughter of cattle in history
that the big meat packers the mortgage holders the wealthy
landlords can be protected.
But the human welfare of the poor farmers and their
families is being crminay, wantonly tramped upon by
government whose sole is to act in the interests of
the big capitalist property-owners.
The farmers need cash relief fodder for their herds
water and food for their families the distribution of all
available fodder food supplies in the drought area These
needs embodied in the Farmers Emergency Relief Bill
proposed by the Communist Party the program of the i'm
povershed, mortgage-ridden, drought stricken farmers
On one hand is the program of Roosevelt This is a
capitalist program 1t is program of misery, inadequate
handouts that give the farmers relief 1t program of
driving the SMALL drOughtStricken farmers into pauperism
into migration that the rich landlords pro-
coed to monopoze the farm lands and farm production
is program of protection of mortgage holders and food
monopoies 1t is, in Short program that spells ruin for
the vast majority of the farm population.
On the other hand is the program of the Communist
Party embodied in the Farmers Emergency Relief Bill 1t
is program that calls for immediate payment of $2O00
100000 in cash relief to all stricken farm families The
Roosevelt government spends $4,000 100000 for and de-
sucon-why not for the welfare of the stricken farmers
The Communist Farm program calls for the immediate
the big landlords for immediate distribution the stricken
small farmers 1t calls for the cancellation of all mortgage
debts at once

interests OF the vast majority of the small and middle farm

VETERANS ON THE MARCH

VETERANS ON THE MARCH
By Jack Douglas, with fore
word by John Dos Passos-384
pages, % illustrations, SIPS.
Here is a book that has long
waited to be written. For two
years the country has been flooded
with articles, motion pictures and
books against the veterans. The
vets were pictured as treasury
raiders" pan-handlers looking for
Especial privileges" For the first
time we, now have a book to coun-
teract this barrage of anti-veteran
propaganda.
Veterans on the March" is a
detailed story of the Bonus March
Of 1882 and 1888. From the first
beginnings of the veterans long
trek to Washington in 1882, thru
the tremendous obstacles they over
came on the way and the betrayal
they suffered in Washington, right
up to Bloody Thursday, the events
are carefully recounted. Many
hitherto undisclosed stories are re-
vealed of murder, hi-jacking and
secret maneuvering in high places
ali these being part of the at
tacks on the veterans. Although
written in a narrative style, the
story is entirely factual.
AS background for the story OF
the Bonus Marches, there is a
chapter on the little-known Pay
March of the soldiers at the end
Of the American Revolution in
1888, and the pension fights of the
ex-scldiers following the Civil
War. Together with the recent
Bonus Marches, these battles are
revealed as a fight between those
who profit from wars and those
who figh' them.
In describing the later Bonus
Marches of 1888 and 1884, tine
veterans are shown arriving at q
clearer understanding of the direc-
ton which their struggles should
take We see them electing their
leaders from among their own
ranks. They formulate their Three
Point Program which not only de-
r1ands immediate cash ay.uent OF
the Bonus and no cuts IN disa-
bility allowances; this Three
Point Program joins their strug
giles with those of the toiling
masses of The country by demand
ing unemployment relief and So
cial insurance for the workers and
the farmers.
Excitingly interesting, pre-emi-
nently readable, this book is g
penetrating analysis Of the role
played by the veterans in the his.
toric Struggles of the American
workers and farmers.

Relief Workers Learn rha,.
Are Here to Serve Us
Dear Editor:

Dear Editor:
l read your story about farmers
waiting at the relief office in last
weeks issue of the Producers News
and I'd like to give you my YER
sion of what happened last week
Monday when we got tired of
waiting
A rather large group of women
and men, and not only from Ray
mond, had been waiting there for
hours. A few of US had been
there a second time and 1 under
stand that has happened quite
often. People coming 80 and 40
miles waited for hours to get their
relief orders and then had to go
home to come back the next day.
On this Monday there was quite
some dissatisfaction after hours of
waiting and when one woman be-
gan crying because it was shortly
before closing time and she had
thought she would have to go home
again without her order, we all
just pushed into the doors.
Miss Amsbaugh, one of the case
workers, did not like it much. "You
folks have to come in here one at
a time," she said.
eve are moi going to come in
here one at time, we are in here
together" one really big woman
answered.
81 am leaving here in 20
minutes, the girl said. 1t was
then 20 minutes to A.
The women obviously didn't like
this rebuke. "You are not going
70 leave here in 20 minutes, you
are staying here until everybody is
served" the girl was told.
! "You were kicked out of White
fish and you think you can come
down here to tell us something.
You are not telling us nothing"
one woman said anprilv. eve got
your number"
After that, Burleigh, the man
ager was called in and when he
started out his line was not much
different from that of the girl.
"Our hours are from 10 to II
and from to d; that's all we are
going to do" Burleigh said. eve
are doing the best we cam.
1--WE come too far, we are not
going back if we have to stay here
all night" was the answer re-
ceived.
"Do you realize that we can pull
out of this county within five min
utes," gently Mr.. Burleigh threat
ened.
"Go ahead and pull out if you
can't do any better than this" one
woman told him.
Mr.. Burleigh changed his mind
and his mood and became nice anG
friendly. We all were waited on
and they were still working at
o'clock, when we left. Everybody
was served.
The next day, understand, num-
bers were given out so that things
NAV go more smoothly and more
efficiently. ! am glad to learn that
more people will be employed SC

KOhler the Killer
BY PAUL ROMAINE

that the MIRA. has been effec-
lively using to break strikes.
On Thursday, because OF the eff
fective picketing that prevented
coal from enEering yards to supply
the plant that furnished the water
supply to the town, a water IA
mine was threatened and all ne
gotiations were directed to solve
this problem. Friday, the strikers
permitted one carload of coal to
enter on the promise that it would
be used for the towns water sup
ply. The heat of the day was in
tense and picketing was cut down
in numbers. Food entered the be-
sieged plant under the protection
of the United States mails.
Early Monday morning found
the picket lines larger than ever
before and the Kohler plant turn
ing out billies which were supplied
to ihree hundred petty bourgeois
citizens and misguided workers
who had been deputized. In the
ensuing days picketing continued
militantly; all mediation had thus
failed. The officials became des-
perate in the face of the effec-
tive picketing. Kohler was raging
he'd smash the strike with armed
force and show the world who
owned Kohler, that he was still
Maste.. Master.
On the second Friday of tn,
strike the deputies launched a sur
prise attack on the picket line.
Sticks which many of the picketi
had been carrying were taken ava!
from them in brief skirmashes an,
the ropes they had used since tn,
beginning of the strike wer
yanked out of their hands. At frs
they were amazed by this action
Most of the workers had never
been in strike before, had neve
felt the consciousness of their elias
had never been face to face witt
armed agencies of the ruling class
As in so many recent American
strikes, the strikers, indignant a
such trea' ment, felt that they ha,
been wronged, that they possesse,
certain constitutional rights whicl
had been swept aside. They didn'
quite know what to do for a mo
inert O. her than to accept what
action had taken place and reflec
on its implications. Then three
workers were evicted from tn
American Club across the street
from the picket lines, their belong
ings brown into the street. The
had been accused of union activi
ties and aiding the action of tn
picket lines by messages and sig
nails from the club. At first tn
pickets and sympathizers wer
amazed-they had never seen a
eviction in the little village. Thei
anger against the company now
reached new heights. They reorga
nized their picket lines into soli
fronts. Evening fell. Womer
filled their lifted skirts with rocks
men and boys crammed their peck
cts; giant slingshots made their
appearance; and thus armed, tn
ranks of the thousands of picket
and sympathizers advanced dow
High Street, now nick-named tn
"Western Front"

At the general offices the anger of
the workers against their exploiter
grew even fiercer-every window
was smashed and the tinkling of
the glass was lost amid the cheers
of the workers. 1t was an emo
tional replica of the street car
strike I saw in Milwaukee.
Suddenly, at the height of the
attack upon the general offices, the
we'll planned strategy of the dep
uties went into action. They had
not attempted to stop the demon
stration of the pickets up to this
point; they had drawn them into
trap-within range of the gas
guns. Suddenly the darkened
street was studded with the flares
of gas bombs flying into the crowd.
Billows enveloped the demonstra-
tors. Women and children became
panic stricken. They bumped into
each other blinded by the gas and
darkness. He'll broke loose in a
block on High Street. The street
was cleared by the deputies who,
now numbered 500 steel helmeted
protectors of capitalism in Kohler.
The pickets recovered from the
gas effect in a short time and re-
organized their ranks. From all
streets they took the offensive and
general street fighting began.
Fifty black shirted husky men, who
now made their first appearance in
the strike, rushed from the factory
gates in support of the deputies.
Although armed to the teeth, they
and the deputies were driven, by
the attack of the workers, behind
. the barricades of the black ar
mored cars that had patrolled the
streets during the day. Suddenly
from all sides in the darkness, gur
fire met the workers, their wives
and children. 1t came from ma
chineguns, rifles, shotguns. Dozens
, fell. The gunfire continued. The
gunfire continued. The workers
fell back. Gradually the firing
ceased and from behind the barri-
! cades emerged deputies and com
pany thugs with butts of guns,
, clubs and billies. Mercilessly they
fell upon retreating workers with.
out discrimination as to sex or age
Clubbing them, cursing them, they
drove them out on the highways Of
the once peaceful village and Koh
e Ter of Kohler came into his own
once again-for the time being.
As dawn broke over the beauti
= full countryside of Kohler, death
stalked in it's wake. Within q
: hours three workers died of theil
= wounds-Lee Wakefield, 25, Henry
2 Engelman, 81, and Alex Weinert
