the conscience of the voters of the
state and cause them to take a new
interest in politics and strive for a
cleanup from the state capitol down

San Diego, Cal,
BY a Worker Correspondent


SAN DIEGO, Cal, July 21.-The
slave market here is similar in many
ways to livestock market. The UNI
employed stand around in front of the
market place waiting for a master to
buy their labor-power. The masters
drive up in their big automobiles, care
fully examine the workers and if they
fail to find the one they are seeking
they go elsewhere. S'-5
One day as | was standing in the
slave mart I saw master examining
the hands of one of the workers. The
worker jerked his hands away and
told this purchaser of labor power to
get away. Another master looking
around like sly wolf for his prey,
was approached by a young lad and
asked: "Are you looking for a mani"
'Yes," answered the boss, "but l don't
want you. You smoke cigarettes"
This boss then walked over to big
husky and patting him on the back
asked him if he wanted to go to work.
The big husky, who had seen the atti-
tude of the boss towards the young
worker, refused to take the job.
There are many workers drifting
into the city here. Most OF them come
here because Of the advertisements of
a boom here. When they get here
they find out that they have been fooled
and that it was nothing more than a
chamber Of commerce publicity stunt.
