In the 1880 GubernatoriaI cleo
ton campaign the Communist
Party failed to go on the ballot in
Ohio. This year $4,000 signatures
are required by August l but so far
less than 1000 have been turned
into the election campaign commits
sion. This reflects the lack Of seri-
BUSINESS with which our Party mem
bers regard the election campaign.
CThis applies not only to our dis
trict but extends to the Daily Work
er itself, which has so far ignored
all releases, except one, which we
have sent cut on the campaign)
Unless there is a sharp change
in methods of work in our district
we will find that we do not have
anywhere near the actual number
of signatures we need to go on the
ballot and conduct a real campaign.
A correct method Of work to en-
able us to make this sharp change
was suggested by our District Or
ganizer ~Comrade Williamson and
was accepted by the campaign COM
mission. The method is to estab-
lish Party headquarters in every

Veterans Denied
Rest Periods at
Colorado Camp
By a Worker Corresponasnt

by WOFheF Correspondent
CEDAR EDGE. Col.-We have in
charge Of Veterans F. 16 G. Camp
two men, Ardan H. Mitchell as cap
tain and one Homer Graham Of the
Forestry Service. Mitchell is a Den
yer reserve captain; Graham is a
National Guardsman from Delta.
Both have adopted the tactics of a
slave driver.
According to Veterans c. G. G.
regulations as of March 6, 1884, we
men are entitled to suitable rest
periods during working hours. These
periods have been denied. Not only
that-regulations fix Our working
hours at eight hours per day, five
days per week, or 4e hours per week,
excluding Saturday and Sunday.
Figure this out: We start at 7:45
am, work out of camp five miles,
quit at pm, over rough roads to
get back into camp.
Regulations include in our eight
hour day time taken for transpor-
tation and meal hours. Disregard
ing this ruling, as you can see from
the hours, we are putting in actu-
ally eight hours and as minutes
daily, or an average of 43 hours
and IS minutes each week. Gra-
ham is the man responsible for this.
AS for Captain Mitchell, he is
incompetent and overbearing Our
food is terrible, there are no gecrea-
ton facilities here, he refuses us

Lies By Copper
Trust Press Break
Relief Job Strike
By a Worker Correspondent

DEMMON, Mieh.-Just a few
lines about the relief strike in
Houghton County, of which I'm
sure there has been nothing print
ed in the capitalist newspapers.
The relief workers of Houghton
County decided to go on strike for
more relief, because what we get
at present is not enough to live, not
even half-deeently, not even enough
to buy clothes.
Pickets were formed to keep seabs
away. But this picketing was weak
in some parts of the county, as for
instance, in Calumet, where the
workers are so terrorized by the
Calumet and Hecla copper trust that
some went to work on the Calumet
airport project. Strikers from other
parts Of the county went to give
help to the Calumet pickets. When
the pickets went to the Calumet
airport that morning, the Houghton
County sheriff and his deputies,
armed with guns and tear gas
bombs, drove the picketers away
and eight strikers were arrested,
of which two were picked from the
street later whom the stools had
spotted as being with the pickets
After the arrests were made the
strikers in the Calumet end Of the
county and Lake Linden and Hub
bell went pouring to work, because
the local radio and press kept CIV
ing wrong reports, such as that
the men are working in the other
parts of the county, which we're di-
rect lies. But the strikers should
have listened to their local strike
committees report of the strike and
not believe the local newspapers and
the radio, which are controlled and
owned by the local copper trust
and their bosses.
Well, with false reports they got
men to work and the strike started
to fail. And at a mass strike con-
ference held at Hancock, it was
decided to postpone the strike, which
had only lasted couple of weeks.
The workers should not have gone
to work even when they were fooled
by the press and radio before the
state men arrived from Lansing,
who were sent here to investigate
the strike situation. When they ar
rived the strike was practically over,
and Of course they said there was
no need for an investigation, al
though there would have been plenty
of reason.
The hearing for the arrested
strikers, at Calumet, has been held
and some of them we're acquitted
and some got small fine, but some
have appealed to the September
term of Circuit Court. The strike
shows that the workers of Hough-
ton County are ready for struggle.
