Sex from MARKHAM Point of View
THE best treatment of the subject
of sex from MARKHAM point Of
view is contained in books in
Russian that have not yet been
translated. Probably the best single
work in English is Red Virtue" by
Ella Winter (Harcourt Brace 1889
Three other valuable contributions
are Marriage and Morals in Soviet
Russia" by Anna Louise Strong
(Hadelman Julius 1920. Jessica
Smiths Women in Soviet Russia"

Viking 1889. In the Moscow
Daily News of July 18th. 1892 there
Is an interesting extract from a
speech delivered BY Alex Kazsron to
the Seventh All Union Comsomol
Congress.
AS in all phases of revolutionary
work the most important contribu-
tons have been made by Lenin.
There is available in English only
little pamphlet by Lenin "On the
Woman Question" t5c.) which is
taken from larger pamphlet of
Clara Zetkin's "reminiscences Of
Lenin." A recent pamphlet by In
ternational Publishers is F. Nurina's
Women in the Soviet Union"
Many Of these works are avail
able at the Workers Bookshops
throughout the country at greatly
reduced prices. One of the first
books on the subject, work that is
a little antedated and has some
Social-Democrstic distortions but
that nevertheless is very important
historically, is August Bebels
Women and Socialism This is on
sale at the Workers Bookshop for
soc.
If you can read Russian there is
o great wealth of material available.
the most important Of which is the
speech delivered by L,enin in 1920 at
the Third Comsomol Congress.
Some members of the Board are
at present engaged in translating
this work. If you are interested we
will forward you copy when it is
available. Another very valuable
work. which does not treat the sub
iect from this point Of view. vet
which should be read by every Com
munist physician, Is Frankwood

We workers thoroughly under

legs and that its comeback is war

Conservation
Policy Hits
Fishermen

BY Fisherman Correspondent
: RAY, Minn.-The Minnesota De-
partment of Conservation has
finally closed lakes Rainey and
Namekan to all commercial fishing.
They Just refused to issue the 1885
license to us. This decision leaves
about fifty families that depended
upon the fishing in these lakes for
a livelihood faced with starvation.
These lakes are international
waters. The State Of Minnesota
closed them on the grounds of con-
serving the fish in them. Still,
they are open to commercial fishing
on the Canadian side, so how do
they expect to protect the fish?
Anyway it's the sportsmen that
destroy great amount of fish such
as Yellow Pike. Hundreds OF sports
men are fishing all day long pull
ing pike out Of the lake and then
throwing them back. Trese fish die,
once they have been on the rook.
Now, the gentlemen in the State
Conservation Office have nothing
against this kind of waste. They
point their guns at handful of
commercial fishermen who have
raised fish themselves, and have
not received any help from the
state for many years when they
placed fish fry into these lakes.
The State and the sportsmen have
done nothing but destroy fish and
wild life. The state allows the M.
and o. Paper Company to drain
and float these lakes to the ex-
treme which cause great deal Of
damage to settlers, and which has
never been paid for.
Commercial fishing has been
going on for over fifty years in these
lakes and the number of fish has
not decreased because we make sure
to restock the lakes.
The boys here have passed a pc
tition around, but that hasn't done
much good Now they are thinking
of sending a lawyer to st. Paul to
fight our case. But, that takes a
great deal of money and we haven't
any. Looks like the next move will
be to throw us out of our homes
here, and then where will we be?

should have redistribution of our
wealth. How does he intend to do
this? Does he want us to take the
means of production and the wealth
out OF the hands of these bankers
and capitalists? No, he says, this
would never do. l believe in pri-
vste property. The majority of us
workers have no private property.
If we do manage to save some
money by denying ourselves many
things and pay down on a home,
many times it Is taken away from
us by the mortgage holders.
He knocks DUPONT because he
makes a profit out of wars. Yet he
openly supports wars in one point
of his program where he says, I
believe in the CONSUMPTION of cap
ital and men in case of a war to
protect our country. This is very
good for the capitalist, as he is only
putting up the capital and in re-
turn his foreign interests are pro-
tected, or new markets are taken
over for his exploitation. Whereas
in the case of us workers, we do the
fighting and many of us are killed
or wounded Maybe we gain horo's
medal which later gets to the
for the price of meal,
All of these things should open
our eyes to the program of the
Communist Party, the only Party
with the real program for the
working class. Coughlin knows this
better than anybody else. He knows
that every day the workers arc
waking up to the truth. That is
why he keeps increasing his red
batting cries over the rodic.

I have been reader of the Daily

a time like this, when there is so
much confusion about what is
wrong with our present system, the
Daily with its clear MARKHAM

confused by such demagogues as
Coughlin and his National Union

day. And the more l listen to him,
the more I am convinced that the
Communist Party is justified in its
stand against organized religion.
Coughlin is doing all in his power
to lead the confused workers into

Mass Action
Wins Prompt
Pay of Relief
BY a Farmer Correspondent

SISSETON, S. D.-When 1t was
announced here on Dec. % that the
weeks relief checks had not arrived,
workers on relief walked off their
job. Joined by some farmers they
marched to the relief office. The
nervous officials managed to shut
some of them out, but most of them
crowded into the directors office
demanding either their checks or
grocery orders.
At first the officials said the
checks were not there because the
government had run short of funds
and that they could not say when
or If the checks would arrive. Asked
if they and their office force got
theirs, they had to admit they did.
This increased the militancy of the
workers. They refused to leave
without some definite promises of
immediate action.
The frightened director then
phoned the state relief administra-
ton. This resulted in a promise
that the checks would be there that
evening or the next morning. The
next morning the checks were there.
1t seems to me that the demon
stration was carried on correctly.
leadership was definitely and
openly taken by known Comnu-
nists. The demonstration was or
oerly. A committee had been elected
to present the demands. Final de-
cisions we're made by the assembled
workers and farmers. The only
weakness l could see was that the
marchers did not go into the relief
building in solid enough body so
that it was possible for the door to
be shut before all of them got in.
There seems to be a definite plan
under way by the government after
the election TO see how much of a
cut in relief the workers and farm
ers will stand without resorting to
mass action. This is the second re-
lief check they have tried to hold
hack. While out here in the wide
open spaces communication is
rather slow, information indicates
that where the farmers and workers
demonstrated against the holding
up OF these relief checks either the
checks were delivered or groceries
we're given. Where nothing was done
they have not gotten these checks
or anything else. We must get
these facts to the workers and
farmers.

Chapman tried to get in with the
the boss crowd last year. but they
we're afraid of him. Now, he has
convinced them that they can use
him to fight the workers, and they
pay him for it. Now, he is the head
of the Silver Shirts. getting a fat
salary which is supposedly supplied
by the Polk Company, but in reality
is Clipped in by all the bosses in
the county.
Chapman said that anyone that
wanted Old Age Pensions was a
Communist. He declared that
anyone that had anything to
do with the Washington Congress
for Social Insurance was red
despite the fact that there are all
kinds OF people supporting the
Congress. He also said that he
would have Charlie Franklin, the
Negro chairman Of the Citrus
Workers Union at Haines City,
killed or anyone else that went to
the Unemployment Congress, be-
cause they showed willingness to go
Delegates Elected
Despite this, two or three men
went to Washington from Haines
Jity, Florida. At a meeting OF
workers and farmers called at sgd
ney, Florida, on Christmas Day. to
organize a Workers and Farmers
Union, they endorsed the Workers
Unemployment and Social Insur-
ance Bill and elected Jack Walker
as delegate to the Congress.
In the face of one OF the worst
cold snaps Of the year, the workers
have shown their willingness to go
ahead with their program. knowing
that the work will not last more
than five or six weeks.
In the meantime the bosses are
getting everybody that they can to
go to the C. c. c. camps. Some OF
the farmers received as much as 40
cents relief the week Of Christmas
and have cut many off relief alto
gether In the State OF Florida.
In Plant City they have openly
displayed machine guns and arms
to frighten the people from organ
iZing.
w. H. Wilson, the leader of the
F. E. R. A. Brotherhood of Florida,
was at the farmers and workers
meeting. He was cut off relief the
week Of Christmas because the
American Legion said that he was
slandering them in the strike of the
relief workers. Also. the relief Of
ficisls in Plant City have Negroes
as doormen to tell people where to
go and whom they can talk to.
This is to keep the white farmers
and workers hating the Negroes and
thus keeping them from coming to-
gether and fighting for their rights.
This is being shown up for what it
is, and they are not getting the
whites as angry as they think. The
whites are waking up to the fact
that the ruling class has used this
method for years to keep them
down Now they are seeing through
things right and they have said as
much.
The farmers have invited the city
workers to a picnic in January.
They want a better understanding
with their city brothers.

The government paid me twenty

fifteen cents a pound.
Taxes on land and personal prop

Leffler resented this affront with
a punch to Westmeyer's eye, break
ing his glasses. Then they hooked
up for a five-minute battle, which
came to a halt at the arrival of a
squadron of police. Both men left
the scene with scars on their faces.
The whole of Ohio's relief set
up is dominated by the States Ma
tional Guard officers. This will
come to an end as soon as the new
Governor takes office, for better or
for worse.
To be frank, the workers need
not look for any lasting improve

system prevails, and that will be
until the workers awake to the
necessity of setting up govern

wor5e than a good many others in
this district.
Klement, one of the owners. got
his start IS a bartender. robbing
workingmen while they were drunk.
He and his wife are still doing it,
only in different way. The condi-
tions are so rotten that he can not
keep a decent crew, therefore he
thrives on stool pigeons. scsos,
canned heat addictS, suckers, ETC.,
both married and single.
The foreman, L. L. Blundell a
large bulldozer, is mentally def
Gent and half drunk most of the
time. He is supplied with moon
shine by rotten sucker named Bill
Williams.
The tallyman, named Hart, who
was once a petty officer in the
Navy. is the worlds champion stool
pigeon.
I would also like to mention the
bull-cook, who is an enemy to all
workers, and the night Waterman
is plenty phoney, too.
Most Of them who had been there
a long time inter-marry III the
camp and the surrounding district.

Everything was done to break
the strike. The bosses told the
workers that it was the fault Of the
Reds that they were on strike, and
told them to get back to work. But,
it was no use, the workers for once
listened to no one but their own
leaders.
The Fascist Chapman was trying
to fool the workers all the time with
his Gentlemen" stuff, but it was
no use; this time the workers had
learned that they can win their
demands only by fighting for them.
Another Victory
The workers at the Hill Brothers
Canning Plant, Barlow, Fla. work
ing on the canning of grape fruit,
won higher wages without strike
They had voted to strike, but their
boss, c. R. MAY, the MANAGE of the
plant, gave them their wage in
crease from 1715 to 2212. and from
27c to SOC per hour Peslers won
from S1.15 per hundred treys to
s145 per hundred. Sectionizers. all
women and Girls. won from four
cents to four and a half cents a
trey.
These were all members of the
Citrus Workers Union who had quit
the union because of Chapman and

These workers were led by w. NJ.
Beasly, forme- chairman of the
Citrus Workers Union here in Bar
tow, Mr.. Beasly is the one that won
the fight here last year and he has
shown that he is the workers friend
every time, and he has organized
these workers to tight for a better
living standard. He has declared
that he is through with the Chap
man bunch and the A. F. Of L. This
all goes to show what can be done

Chapman. the Polk County red
batter. and his gang which includes
Bill Mock and Chief of Police Pat
Murphy, have declared open war on
anyone thev think is a red. They
have said this at an open meeting
of the union. They have openly
threatened to kill Homer Smith for
his racial ideas and have accused
him of distributing the leaflets in
Haines City. They said that they
will kill all that they catch dis
tributing these leaflets. They have
also said that they will shoot Jack
Walker on sight, not even taking
the trouble to arrest him

Despite this, Jack Walker has
been in Haines City several times
since then. They have man

FERGUS FALLS, MINNESOTA
Dec. 10, 1884
Dear Sir:
We have been forced to take
your name off the list Of those
to receive Livestock Relief. This
Is due to a shortage of money and
supplies. We hare instructions
from Washington, that a farmer
having borrowing power or suffi-
cent roughage to carry him
through the winter, must not
look TO us for aid. There are other
agencies. such as the Production
Credit Associs ton and the Farm
Credit Administration, where aid
NAV be secured.
The reason for refusing you
livestock relief is checked below:
No real estate mortgage.
No chatteI mortgage.
Sufficient feed on hand for
present.
Have been receiving Direct Re-
lief.
Belong on Direct Relief.
Have boy in C.C.C. camp.
Income sufficient to feed live
stock.
These having sufficient feed on
hand for the present please notify
MS when such feed is gone.
o. r. KINGSTEDT
Livestock Relief Manager
1 want you to note particularly
reason number on the list of
reasons, Belong on direct relief. .
This means that if the feed and
hay investigator thinks that YOU
should get direct relief, you can not
have any feed or hay. This. in spite
OF the fact that direct relief has
its own investigators who may think
you do not need any direct relief.
OF course, If you are getting a
few hours on the gravel pile each
month, you can not get any feed OF
hay.
