F SCIST Meet
WON'T ATTACK
u. S. ACTIONS
Criticism Is to Be Kept
On the 20. T."
Especial to The Daily Worker,


ST. PAUL, Mimi, Sept. 49,
There will be no criticism of the
shameful treatment accorded
veterans of the World War by
the United States at the con-
vention of the American Legion,
just opened here.
Mussolini There.
That is the tenor of the
speech made at the beginning
of the first session by General
Frank T. Hines, director of the
Veterans Bureau of the United
States government.
Hines Lays Down Law
"You and / know very we'll that
there was at one time something
amiss in the Veterans Bureau" Gen
eral Hines said, that until lately
there was always something consid-
erably wrong with the administration
of soldier relief. The roots of the
trouble lay far back in the beginning
when these government agencies were
hastily organized under stress of ac-
tual warfare.
There are rumors," continued the
general, that attacks will shortly be
made upon the Veterans Bureau. pub
licity and propaganda campaigns
which are under way to drag out the
mistakes of the past and so to visit,
as it were, the sins of the fathers
upon the children of the third and
fourth generation.
mo one set of men, it seems to ME,
can righteously lay upon the should
ers of any other set the whole respon-
sibility for the conditions which pre-
vailed"
This forestalling of all criticism of
the governments amazing record of
treachery to the young men who laid
down life and limb and health to fight
for a non-existing democracy is the
keynote of the entire convention.
A VaIueIess Convention.
Nothing of any value to the workers
who were conscripted into the late
war will result from this convention.
Undoubtedly some kicks will be made
about the fake bonus, so-called, which
was slipped over on the veterans, and
which they later found to be nothing
but an insurance plan. But the Amer
lean Legion has outlived any reason
that it may have had for existence for
the soldiers or for the capitalists. The
only form in which it may continue,
or be resurrected is as an aid to any
fascist actions that the masters of the
Legion, who are in control of it at
the top, may see fit to take against
the workers in the event of the lat
ter making any move towards wiping
out of the system that brings misery
to them.
They Have Good Time.
The annual conventions are used
by the delegates who come to the city,
as the time when they have a cork
ing good time at the expense of the
volstead Act, anti-gambling laws, the
modesty of girls and women on the
streets and general law and order.
At the last convention in Kansas City,
the delegates INDUCED in veritable
orgy of Flaw breaking" Girls we're
insulted on the streets, the town was
shot up, cops were beaten up for in
terfering with crap games in the hotel
Hobbies and alleys were Uttered with
the drunken bodies of ex-second
lieutenants.
II is said that precautions are be-
ing taken against recurrence of the
same thing at the present convention.

HAWAII SUGAR
SLAVES CLAIM
BETTER WAGES
Dept. of Labor Knows
Nothing About 1t
BY LAURENCE TODD
Federated Press staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Sept. 49,
Scores of Filipino strikers on
the sugar plantations of Hawaii
have been shot down by COM
pany gunner and police, and
hundreds more are crowded in
to jaiIs, because these workers
were not satisfied with wages
ranging around dollar per
day.
The U. S. Department of
Labor, Cancellation division,
knows nothing about the affair,
and its spokesman direct all in
quirers to write to the Cover
nor of the Territory" for in
formation.
Gompers investigates as Usual.
After brief study of the list of cas-
ualties in this latest skirmish between
the strikers, armed with bare fists
and hunger, and the gunner and pol.
ice, equipped with riot guns and rifles,
the American Federation of Labor of
flee here has decided to start an in
yestigation in Hawaii Cabled re-,
quests for immediate action are being
sent to affiliated unions in Honolulu.
Some two years ago the labor de
partment sent John Donlin, president
of the building trades department Of
the A. F. of L., and four other men as
special commission, paid by the
Hawaiian territorial legislature, to IN
vestigate and report upon the question
is the existing supply of plantation
labor in Hawaii sficient? The com.
mission found that the Filipinos
who numbered $4,000 or more, and
the Koreans. who had mustered some
1000 laborers to help break the strike
of the Japanese workers, were sufTi-
cient, with the Japanese, to operate
the plantations.
Filipnos Organize.
When the Japanese realized that
they had been beaten. despite their
strong unions, in the fight for living
wage in the sugar industry, many
thousands of them turned to the build
! ing industry and to truck farming, and
discovered that they were better OF
than when serving the sugar kings.
The Filipinos. at the bottom of the
economic scale, began TO organize, and
about month ago many thousands of
them went on strike for wages equal
to those already paid the Koreans.
The plantation owners, assisted by To-
cal and territorial officials, inaugural
ed a reign of terror. according to re-
ports sent here. Strike leaders were
virtually beseiged in their homes:
strikers were forbidden to approach
them; all meetings were forbidden;
guards were given orders to shoot at
sight any strikers who might approach
them.
The first result Of this outlawry by
the sugar kings has been the murder
of 20 strikers, and wounding OF a great
number, and the falling of hundreds,
while widows and children are dis
tracted with grief and fear. Scenes
recalling the Ludlow massacre in
Rockefeller's suppression of the Colo.

ed. Racial antagonisms, cultivated by
the plantation owners between the
Japanese, Koreans and Filipinos,
have kept the strike from becoming
general.

If he had, she was prepared to

he shook his head with a grin.

glanced in the direction Of Sally, who
was already clearing a place on the
stove.

Sally had whirled about, her
cheeks suddenly pink. She shot an
amazed glance at Henry Williams

Although prices for the entire year
period dropped per cent in Indian
apolis, prices for July Is were pei

Out of the nineteen cities in which
comparisons were made, sixteer
showed decreases for the year and
three showed increases.
The largest price drops took place
at Fall River and Manchester, where
citizens were paying per cent less
this July than last for important
food stuffs.
Other large decreases for the year
took place in Bridgeport, Cincinnati

The three cities which showed in

The private road was a long one

knew something about the size OF
ranches. 1t was nearly a quarter OF
an hour before they came within
sight OF anything but hills and hol
lows.
Then the ranch buildings flashed
abruptly into view as the road
emerged from patch OF young
spruce. Sally studied the picture
with professional eye. The ranch
house, the stables, the outbuildings
the corrals, all classified themselves
swiftly under her survey.
That's a pretty big house." she
commented. Looks sort of new, too

He reached over, threw the switch,
and the engine was off with a night
splitting clatter. The big man stag
gered YEARLY toward the side of the
road. His gait was accelerated
when a mud guard nudged him
roughly as the f1ivver sprang into
life. They heard him shout some
thing; it sounded like a threat, al
though they could not catch the
words. Then the Wreck took a solid
grip on the wheel and began to
drive.
Once Sally looked behind her. The
headlights Of the motionless car had
faded to small points. She glanced
at the Week. 1t was not possible to
see his face clearly, but she could
be gritting his teeth and staring

she spoke, and then she cut loose.
