DON'T QUOTE

By United Press

WASHINGTON. July 26.-Andrew
w. Mellon is going to hold the whip
hand over tine treasury If the plan
for the new one-mill coins goes
through.
Mellon should get silent satisfac-
ton out of that because the treas
ury's relations with him since in
ception of the new deal" have not
been cordial.
Aluminium is the metal out Of
which the proposed coins would be
minted. Now the treasury has
more gold than any one else in
the world and probably more silver
too. But it hl5nt any aluminm
reserves. That's where Mellon
comes in. The Aluminium Corpora
ton of America, corner stone of the
Mellon fortune, has just about all
I that's worth talking about in this
country.
So i the treasury decides to put
out the aluminium mill pieces, 1t
viii have to go to Aluminium Cor
poration. Mellon or no Mellon. II
/ looks like Mellon is in a fair way
to become the nations mill king.
( What with the hot weather, the

The incident occurred during the
running debate when Barkley ex-
pressed ignorance Of manganese

Appealing to Roosevelt

NORMAN THOMAS, Socialist Party
~ leader, has just wired to Roosevelt urg-
ing him to step in and protect the Arkan-
sas tenant farmers from the starvation of
the landlords and the local officials
Thomas points out that the local of
ficials are subservient to the landlords,
that the Arkansas workers face mob VIC
lence evictions, and starvation.
Thomas is right when he declares the
conditions of these tenant farmers as
tragic He is right when he shows that
the landlords control the local govern
ments.
But does Thomas appeal to Roosevelt
aid the Arkansas farmers? Does it aid
the militant Ward Rodgers and r. L. Nit
chell, Socialist leaders of the Arkansas
tenants in their fight against the yoke of
the landlords?
How can Thomas's appeal to Roosevelt
help these militant fighters when it is
Roosevelt's own A.A.A. program which is
responsible for these evictions and mob
violence? Do not these Arkansas land
lords support Roosevelt; are they not the
backbone of his Party?
Is not Roosevelt himself directly re-
sponsibe for the pauperizing of the tenant
farmers?
To help Rodgers and Mitchell and the
Arkansas farmers. it is not only the local
officials but Roosevelt who must be exposed
as responsible for the farmers tragedy"

The Red Flag Rises!

THE Red Flag rose over one of the bar
racks of Vienna on Sunday.
No fascist terrorism or police vigilance
could stop the Austrian proletariat from
doing honor to those who died last Febru-
airy fighting the advance of Austrian fas-
cism.
No fascist murder could stop the Aus
trian proIetariat, Socialist and Commu-
mist, united in class unity, from meeting
throughout the country to pledge and
mobilize fight to the death against Fas-
cism.
In France, a hundred thousand Partisan
workers, Socialist and Communist in united
action, marched for hours past dismayed
and silent gendarmes, paying tribute to
their dead, warning fascism that the
French proletariat will know how to
meet it.

A ReactiOnary Menace

IN FRIDAY, it is expected that the Con-
" gressional Discrimination Com
mittee will present its recommendation to
the House that measures be taken to out
law all revolutionary activity of workers
and the revolutionary press
This proposal, made by committee
allegedly investigating fascist activities in
this country is aimed directly at the Daily
Worker, the Western Worker, and the
Communist Party, and the foreign
language press.
This Committee has protected the &C
tiyities of Wall Street fascist plotters, as
the Daily Worker has proved.
It's main purpose has been to carry out
the orders of the big Wall Street bankers
and industrialists for the throttling of the
whole working class movement 1t is aid
ing Hearst and the pro-fascist war-makers.
It's attacks against the Communist
Party can only be prelude to wholesale
reactionary assaults against all workers
and their trade union organizations.
Every Socialist Party worker, every
A. F. of L. trade unionist, every progress
sive person in the country is menaced by
this Committees proposals!
It's proposals must be blocked by Joint
action!

prevailing Wages

president ROOSEVELT has-to use a
phrase made popular by the movies
turned the heat" on number of Sena-
tors. He has succeeded in getting recon-
sideration of the prevailing wage"
amendment to the administration relief
bill
Roosevelt's policy is crystal clear: he
wishes to establish work relief wages at
an average of $50 month. In the build
ing trades, for instance, this will simply
wreck union scales, even in private con-
struction and, finally, destroy the unions.
1t will tend, sooner or later, to depress
wage levels throughout the country.
In the fight on Roosevelt's wage-slash-
ing scheme, it must be made clear in every
instance that labor demands union wages.
If the prevailing rate" is not the union
rate then union labor must insist on
UNION WAGES for organized and unor-
ganized workers.
Every worker knows that with the
wage-cutting drives that have gone on,
with the N.R.A: codes, prevailing rates"
in some instances are even less than $50
month now.
President Roosevelt's proposal is that
building trades worker on relief Job
work 100 hours a month for $50, or SO
cents an hour. The fight for the 'pre-
vailing wage" must demand the union
scale for these workers, which is 81 % an
hour at the present time

For Action in Steel

AN IMMEDIATE drive to organize the
n steel industry was demanded of the
A. F. of L. Executive Council by the Or
ganizational Committee elected by the
lodges of the Amalgamated Association of
Iron, Steel and Tin Workers, at the Feb, 8
conference.
The Organizational Committee de-
clares, THE AMALGAMATED ASSOCI-
ALTON MUST BE BUILT INTO A
POWERFUL UNION"
The Executive Council of the A. F. of
L. is called upon to carry out the decisions
of the last convention of the A, F. of L.
and launch an immediate organizational
campaign in the steel industry.
William Green replied to the represen-
tatives of the steel industry, according to
press reports, ''An organization drive in
steel is on the immediate order of business
in the Executive Council of the AT. Of L."
The proposal of the representatives of
the A. F. of L. steel locals is very concrete,
that the Executive Council give immediate
financial support and organizers to build
the A. A.
Every A, +. of l., local and member is
called upon to help the organization drive
in Steel The Executive Council is called
upon to send its members personally into
the steel field to organize the steel work
ers, and to mobilize the State Federations
and City Central Labor bodies for the con-
crete support and action in the campaign
An immediate end of Tighe's descriptive
explosions is demanded.
What will the A. F. of L. Executive
Council do concretely to organize the steel
workers and prepare strike against star
walton conditions now existing in the in
dustry as a result of the N.R.A.?
The Communist Party and the Daily
Worker urge every member of the A. f.
of L.. every worker to Immediately act
in support of the organizational drive, to
get behind the Organizational Committee
of the steel workers, and to build the A.A.
into powerful union.

Proposes Supplement On
Fascist Exposures
PHILADELPHIA. Pa.

Comrade Editor:
I am suggesting that at least the
salient points of Margaret Young's
series of fascist exposes should be
reprinted.
l. In a Saturday issue of the
Daily" run four page supplement
containing the whole series. The
makeup of this supplement should
be bold, with front page cartoon
or cartoons taking up large part
of the page. The articles should be
edited to read simply in every day
language. There should be editorial
comments explaining to workers that
the Daily Worker is their" paper
and contrasting it with the bosses "
papers; showing how the fascist
plot means an attack on each and
every one of them.
2. This same supplement should
be printed in the tens of thousands
for general distribution campaign,
free of charge, from door to door,
at subway entrances, street corners
and at all strategic points.
I want only to add that the dis
tribution should be organized.

After carefully reading Molotov's
speech on the changes in the Soviet
Constitution, have to express my
irrepressible JOY What can be
more inspiring than the fact that
the Soviet Union is moving nearer
to a classics Socialist society?
What worker can read that Com
rade Stain initiated the proposals
of these changes into the Central
Committee, and not see in him a
new Leninl What worker can
read how every word of the scien-
tific analysis of Marx and Lenin is
CARRIED INTO ACTION, and not
see in this same analysis the way
out of capitalist oppression.
I believe that the profound
changes in the constitution, Gre
placing many-stage elections by di-
rect elections; equal vote for peas
ant as well as workers. is true
picture of Bolshevism.
We, who are in the camp of
(Soviet) friends" should greet this
historic triumph of Socialism, as
our Russian comrades expect that
we will. by "a new surge of energy
and faith in the cause of Com
munism." B. w.

telegram of greetings and some
money to Kyle Pugh, still in jail,
pending raising of bail on the APP
peal of his five year sentence for
criminal syndicalism in Medford,
Oregon. Following is a copy of the
lctter received in answer:
Jackson County Jail
Medford, Oregon
Dear Comrades:
l received your welcome letter
and the So. I am not in immediate
need of money for my own personal
self while I'm here and 1 am sure
there are hundreds of our prisoners
who need it more, so please send it
where it is needed.
I appreciate what you folks are
doing for me. I know you would do
a great deal more if it was in your
power, and I am proud to feel that
the working class are my friends.
I don't know just what you mean
about the donkey, but I'll bet mine
had that old burro that j. Slim
rode through Bethlehem skinned a
country block.
Yes, get the DAILY" occasionally.
The farmers from Grants Pass do
all they can to make my vacation

KYLE PUGH.
The reference to the donkey was
because the state confiscated the
burro that Pugh used when he sold
literature. The feed bill is about
500 and the state does not want to
pay it and wants the defense to take
the buTro hack and pay the bill.
This letter is evidence Of the type
of Comrade Kyle Pugh is. 1t should
be printed so that readers may re-
member that our political prisoners
are some of the best fighters of the
working class and that they can be
helped through the Prisoners Relief

cessant antiSovet hysteria for an Intervention war
against the U.SS.R.
Let the members of the liberal committee look
about them as they protest. They will find with some
misgivings hope, that all around them the
mongers, the fascsts the White Guard potters, who
are now sounding, in key another, the cry
against the Soviet Union.
Presumably, the members of the committee are
interested in defeating these forces of fascist reaction
and imperialist war
But the implacable logic of the class struggle, of
the present situation is placing them unwngly in the
camp of pro-fascist reaction and imperiast war in
the camp of counter-revolution.

Workers Look to Coming
Writers Congress

D4OOhlyly M :.
Comrade Editor:
The announcement of q Writers
Congress, cut of which l hope good
results will come, is very interesting
and timely. 1 believe that persons
of literary ideas and ability will find
plenty of material, if they will try
to understand and feel us, the
working class. Consequently re-
wards must come to them.
Professional writer's and actors at
present mostly give service to those
who criminally destroy everything
worth living for. But the working
class wants to read how to get out
of it's misery. Quite often l buy
a magazine or pamphlet instead of
meal because 1 know that it's con-
tents speak for the welfare of the
majority Of the world.
Yours for enlightenment.
