STROLL, S. D.-The system of
capitalism is now preparing to deal
a blow to the small stock man and
farmer who has, since the large
cattle ranges were broken up, en-
joyed the freedom of the plains, and
by enduring hardships and chisel-
ing grass from the land which was
abandoned years before, been able
to exist as well or better than his
brothers farther east.
The submarginal land purchasing
program of the triple A and the
Taylor Grazing Act seeks to estab-
fish large grazing units which will
be owned by the government and
grazed by the stock men, during GER
tain periods of the year, who are
contiguous to the units. The fees,
which would approximate two and
half cents per head for sheep and
ten or twelve cents for cattle, will
be divided as follows: half to the
counties in lieu of tax money which
might have been collected on the
grazing land and one-fourth to ad-
minister the Taylor Act and provide
fences and watering places, and one
fourth to the government.
The small stock man will find
that he is not wanted any more on
the range and will be swept to one
side to make room for the owners
of large herds of cattle and sheep.
In a meeting at Rapid City, S. D.,
where government agents met with
stock men to discuss the Taylor Act,
the question was asked what would
become of the little fellow who was
delinquent in his real estate and
livestock mortgage payments and
had been for several years depen-
dent on relief. The government man
answered that they could sell out
and if they didn't do that they
would walk out later. When asked if
the grazing fees would be sufficient
to cover the purchase costs of the
land as well as the upkeep without
having an initial amount provided
by the government the speaker turn
ed to chart Of one of the proposed
grazing areas. at has cost the gov
eminent five million dollars in the
last several years in this area for
relief and you could buy all this
land for million" A woman in the
back of the room asked what would
become of all the people who had
been on relief but the question was
not answered.
The credit of the small stock man
as well as many of the large ones

Daiymen's League
PAYS Low Prices
By a Farmer Correspondent

SULLIVAN COUNTY, Pa.-MOst
Of the farmers and dairymen in Sui
Ivan County do not make enough
to keep themselves and their fani-
lies on a decent standard Of living
They were not getting enough for
their milk, cream and butter to pay
for their expenses after milking,
icing and delivering milk six to ten
miles to the creamery Of the Dairy
mems League at Wheelensville. Pa.
This was closed down on October l
after a meeting held in Skunk, by
one Of the ex-presidents Of the
League, a real politician. He de-
livered a speech in which he said
nothing that was constructive.
The reason for closing the milk
depot was that it did not pay, al
though they refused to take in any
more members who were willing to
deliver their milk there. The Dairy
mems League pays the lowest prices
for milk.
One tenant farmer, who has a
wife and four children, was arrested
for not paying his taxes, and is
serving his time in the county Jail
at one dollar a day to pay off his
fine. His family joined him in Jail
as they did not have enough to
eat at home. On hired farms,
earning about fifteen dollars a
month, the workers are assessed
500 and the tax is So. The tenant
farmer is taxed more, also the
mechanic, depending upon his earn
ings.
Some farmers work at numbering,
others at coal mining. The miners
get rs cents a ton lin new mine
opened last falD for mining, re-
moving Stag loading on small cars,
and they have to furnish their own
powder and fuse, and do the blast
ing.
The mine was organized month
ago and one of the dairymen, an
old miner, was the only one scab-
bling, going around in his newly
bought car (from his scsbby earn
ings) trying to get scabs.
One worker whom he asked to
scab, told him he would rather
starve than scab That is the spirit
and understanding that we must
get the farmers to learn.

Unexpectedly.

fled in adding an extra worker to
your present payroll.
"Mackay Business Colleges have

THE State Labor Commission has
set the price for such services at
thirty cents per hour for workers

forty cents per hour for workers

around, and cheat him out of what
he makes, and tell him that he has
eaten it all up, when the landlord
will not furnish them any thing but
fatback meat and little bread, and
the most of it is corn bread.
A landlord worked a Negro tenant
on his farm here for about SIT be-
sides what he paid for the Guano.
Part of the time he would not fur
nish him anything at all. When he
gathered his crop he sold it and
told the Negro that he got 500 and
gave him only $12. He came back
the next morning, told him that he
had made mistake and said, you
owe me twelve dollars"

how bitterly they have been duped

Strike Fund Needed
in NabiscO Strike
Ry a Worker Correspondent

BY a Worker Correspondent
NEW YORK-The NB.C. strike
till now has been successful, but
now I think the spirit is weaken
ING because of lack Of funds and
news.
The bosses are using an old
trick Of feigning unconcern, and
some of the strikers are begin

pretty useless and futile.
I am personally acquainted
with a great many strikers here
in New York. I know the condi-

If there would be more daily

UNEM LOYM ENT HAS
BROUGHT IN ITS WAKE PER
SONAL PROBLEMS as desperate,
perhaps, as the hunger for food.
Read this letter It has in it the
passionate bitterness of a girl who
sees her problem, and can see no
way out. What would you do in her
place?
QUITE RECENTLY read an edi-
torisl in the Daily Mirror, entitled
something like Boys and Girls
Get Married." When I had finished
there was murder in my heart.
THE PLIGHT Of the many boys
and girls, who, because of economic
conditions cannot get married, is
very sad indeed, and it Is one Of the
chief reasons why I have turned
towards Communism. Let me cite
nay case.
81 WILL BE NINETEEN in two
months. The boy is past twenty
four. We have been close friends for
about two years, and would like very
much to marry now. Judge for your
self whether we can or not.
1T is two years since I am out Of
school, and for the past year, I have
been unemployed. MY parents who
do not wholly understand what I'm
up against, think I'm lazy. That is
a hard dose to swallow. Ny boy
friend earns s22 a week
MANY PEOPLE SEEM TO
THINK that such a salary during
these "times" is not at all bad. I do
not agree with them. The prospect
of life for two children are out of
the question: on 500 a week is not
very cheerful, contrary to the way
Hollywood pictures it.
WE ARE TWO PEOPLE WHO
ARE YOUNG, strong and willing to
work and learn. In fact, my friend
does work. very, very hard-and vet
1t seems that we are doomed. We
do not have much privacy. I am of
an independent nature, and yet can
not afford to be. Ny pride and self
respect are slowly being killed Our
relationship is becoming strained.
because of unSatisf1ed desires and
limited amusements. It is madden
ing.
"YES, IT IS INDEED A PITY.
for am not the only one Many
friends 7 know face the same prob
lem, and I am sure there are mil
lions more. The future is not very
bright for any Of us. 1t is most dis
heartening. Those who are respon-
sible for this have committed one
Of the most terrible crimes IN the
worlds history! >"
THERE ARE MILLIONS of such
eases. Who, herself. has not seen at
least one in her own family, in her
own ndghborhood, hopeless, wait
ing, hoping only that time itself will
change these conditions. will make
for this particular couple situa-
ton that is better than that Of the
rest of the working class. I will state
my opinion later. What do the read
ers Of the column advise this girl
to do?

YOUR
HEALTH

Medical Advisory BoaFd
CONSTIPATION


Comrade D. H. Of the Bronx,
writes:
MY stomach is periodically upset.
The reason for this condition I trace
to over-eating. It is a matter of a
few months. At first I lost my APP
petite and was constipated. I took
a laxative. but did not regain my
appetite. Then I Systematically
starved myself for week. walked a
lot but it was of no avail. I began
to eat again and gradually my APP
petite came back to me. But. as 7
said, periodically my stomach is put
out Of commission. The trouble is
that I can't trace the source. I go
our for lunch, am perfectly hungry,
eat to safety, eniov it, but do not
over-eat. A few hours later my
mouth feels sour, salty. People adj
vised me to take milk Of magnesis,
and 1t helped. but this condition
repeats itself frequently.

Our Reply


Our Reply
You must realize that we cannot
diagnose your case specifically from
merely reading your symptoms. A
proper diagnosis and consequently
proper and specific treatment can
only be instituted after one has q
history plus proper laboratory and
physical examination. This Is par
ticularlv true when referable to the
stomach and intestines.
A very common cause for a bad
taste in the mouth is infected teeth
or gums. Also in view of a poor
appetite and vague abdominal dis
comfort constipation NAV be the
source Of the difficulty The pains
over your upper abdomen is prob
ably due to gaseous distention Of
the bowel as part of this picture.
However, you would do well to con-
suit a competent physician to rule
out more serious trouble Of the
stomach or gall-bladder.
Briefly. in tabulated form. Is our
treatment for constipation with no
apparent cause:
Learn the bowel habit: always
take the time and effort, even If at
first it is in vain, to try and have
a daily bowel movement at a GER
tain constant time every day. No
one should be too busy to take the
time to educate a sluggish bowel
into natural habit.
Proper exercise is important even
If YOU work all day. Outdoor sports,
swimming. walks. etc, are in order.
During the working hours we sit in
one place usually and use only GER
tain muscles. consequently the
worker frequently says "I get plenty
of exercise at the machine all day."
Diet-For the tonic type of con-
stipation, where a hard. thin, small
frequent stool is seen. remove bulky
foods and roughage from the diet.
Rest, sleep, worry-free existence
helps. This type is rarely seen in
our capitalist friends, but common
in workers.
For the atomic type where a large,
bulky infrequent stool is present.
eat plenty Of bulky. coarse food and
roughage as in cabbage, lettuce.
whole wheat. gustled meats. etc. Abb
dominal massage will help here also.
Correct any underlying infection
of the teeth, intestine, hemorrhoids.
etc.
Use mineral oil when a cathartic
IS necessary, but don't develop the
laxative habit.
CHRONIC BRONCHITIS (Cont'd)
Comrade H. G. K, a knitgoods
worker of New York. writes: st have
been troubled with cough for
eight years. With my coughing I
bring out bronchial spit. At times I
cough blood on such occasions as
when dashing into the water in the
summer running the track about
three times or when doing other
strenuous work.
Our Reply
In answer to your question, 1t Is
impossible to state from your ac-
count what the cause of your trouble
is. You were told you had chronic
bronchitis and you were given cough
medicine. But that will not cure
you. The important thing is to find
out what Is the cause Of the chronic
bronchitis. Besides having an X-ray
taken. there are other tests that
must be performed in order to find
out the cause of the bronchitis and,
therefore, to treat you effectively.
The clinic you have attended and
your private doctor have not done
everything that is necessary. We
would advise you to apply to clinic
that specializes in chest diseases.
such as, Bellevue Hospital or New
York Hospital.
