Filipinos in California
Appreciate Aid Received
in Fight for Liberation
BY J. LOUIS ENoDAHL.

TWENTY-THREE FiIipinos living
l. in or near Santa Monica, Cali.
fornia, signed their names to dec
laration just received reading as
follows:
eve, the undersigned natives Of
the Philippine Islands wish to ex-
press our sincere thanks and ap-
probation for your mastery edi-
torials, published in The DAILY
WORKER, in defense of liberty and
a demand for justice for the Philip
pines and its peoples.
ut gives us great courage to
know that in this great Land of the
Free and Home of the Brave there
are some who put justice and equal
ity above the dollar sign. Yours for
the Day of United Humanity"
In every large American city there
are Filipino colonies that hold them
selves somewhat aloof from other
races and nationalities. The Pacific
Coast, especially California, has
considerable Filipino population.
1t is safe to say that the great
percentage Of these Filipinos are
workers. There are few profess
SIGNALS among them, but not many.
Most of these Filipinos are also
young, the youth that has come to
this county of great Opportunities.
Many of them have been or are stu
dents.
All of these characteristics
youth, education, workers,-are the
best beginnings these Filipinos could
possibly have to aid them to get
in touch with the only element in
this country that can be aroused to
take a stand for the independence
of the Philippines. That element is
the American working class that
suffers under the same tyranny that
is crushing the Filipino masses.
Manuel Quezon, president of the
Filipino senate, declares that the
islanders feel, with General Leon
ard Wood as governor general of
the islands. that they are living I'M
der a military dictatorship. This
is the same dictatorship Of the ex-
ploiters that rules over American
labor, that stepped out into the
open in the 1919 steel strike, when
this same General Wood led the
army in the Gary, Indiana, steel
zone against the steel strikers.
General Wood is just one of many
links, continually growing more nu-
merous, that shows to the workers,
both in the United States and in
the Philippine Islands that their in
terests are identical.
The American Federation of La
Dor has declared that:
I'VE respectfully petition and
urge the congress of the United
States to forthwith grant the ear
nest prayer and petitions of the
Filipinos-the right to exercise in
full, liberty, freedom and seh-gov-
eminent"
That is the labor ohiciaidom
speaking. The rank and file work
ers must be spurred to greater re-
sentiment against the enslavement
of their brothers of the Far Pacific.
1t is the duty of the Filipinos liv-
ing in this country to act as that
spur. They can do it by spreading
propaganda telling the truth about
the Coolidge-Wood tyranny in the
islands.

ton Of Labor. On the other hand, if
there is no such affiliation there is the
certainty Of a continued struggle for
some time to come, and while l feel
no doubt about the final outcome and
that the workers, even if fighting in
dependently, will win this struggle,
nevertheless 1 certainly feel that it is
in the best interests Of the workers
and that it is my duty to tell them
so. to advise them to join the United
Textile Workers and thus bring the
strike to a speedy and just end.
ut should be remembered that from
the very beginning 1 have repeatedly
stated that we should join the main
stream of the American labor move
ment as represented by the American
Federation of Labor. The very name
that we chose, the United Front Com
mittee, proves that this was our pur-
pose. We did not wish to form another
and dual union, separate and apart
from the textile union of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor. Rather has
it been always our aim to form one
united front of the workers against
the united front of the bosses, to or
ganize the unorganized workers on
the basis of a struggle against the
present system of exploitation and to
amalgamate all unions in the textile
industry into one powerful union, TAX
ing in all of the textile workers in
America.
This resolution, therefore, not only
carries out in the best practical way
the immediate interests of the work
ers, but it also carries out our policy
OF unity and harmony in the workers
ranks in their struggle against the en-
ployers."
Resolution.
The resolution follows:
IN order 10 remove obstacles real
or fancied that stand in the way of
speedy and honorable settlement. be
it resolved:
First, that the settlement of the
existing strike and negotiations with
employers are hereby placed in the
hands Of a disinterested committee Of
citizens Of w. Jet Lauck Of Washing
ton, D. c., Henry T. Hunt of New York
and Helen Todd of New York with
F. p. Walsh as member in absentio.
Second, that they are hereby given
plenary powers to represent us in the
settlement of the strike thru Senator
Borah at Washington, or thru any
other mediation or adjustment agency.
Third, that the said committee is
further empowered TO conduct a spe-
cial election. by secret ballot, for the
striking textile workers Of Passaic and
vicinity, for the purpose of establish
ing a union with officers and commit
tees TO deal with representatives of
the mills, and
Fourth, the said committee In fur

SHOALS BID TO CUT
COST OF FERTILIZER
PROPOSAL OF SOUTHERN POW
Err COMPANIES LOOKS MOST
FAVORABLE.

Atlanta, Ga.-Farme of Georgia
and other Southern states will have
the advantage of buying fertilizer
material at a price lower than ever
before-almost at cost-provided the
bid of the power companies of the
south for Muscle Shoals is accepted
by the United States government.
In addition, instead of the surplus
power being used merely in the
vicinity of Muscle Shoals, Georgia
will share equally with other states
in it's advantages.
Also if the bid of the southern
power companies is accepted, it will
yield the United States government
more money in rentals than would
the bid of anyone else, including
Henry Ford.
These statements were made. here
in an interview given out by P. S.
Arkwright, president of the Georgia
Railway and Power company, who
has just returned from a meeting in
Washington of the board of directors
of the Muscle Shoals Fertilizer COM
pany and the Muscle Shoals Power
Distributing company, which two
companies were organized by the 10
interconnecting electric power public
utility companies in the states of
Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louis
lana, Tennessee, Kentucky and
Arkansas, making this bid.
Directors of the Muscle Shoals Fer
tilizer company and the Muscle
Shoals Power Distributing company
consist of Representatives of these
electric power companies with other
prominent men in the Southeast not
connected in any way with public
utility companies.
"The proposal provides primarily
for the production of nitrogen and
other fertilizer ingredients to the ex-
tent of 10000 tons of nitrogen per
annum and an additional amount, if
market demands justify it," said Mr..
Arkwright. at also provides for the
distribution and sale of this fertilizer
at price not to exceed cost plus 8
per cent.
at will mean very great reduc-
ton in the price of fertilizer to farm
ers. So much of the power generated
at Muscle Shoals as is required for
the production of fertilizer is to be
devoted to this purpose, even if it
takes the entire output"

The BULLS EYE is a publica-
ton that goes to print. When does
it 90 to print? 1t goes to print when
ever there is something to print. A
lot of papers, in fact to be exact, all
of them, have a certain time TO be
issued, regardless of the news. If
nothing has happened that day or
that week they have to come out
just the same. They want you to
pay for them whether they are any
good to you or not. Why should
paper be printed if there is moth
ing new to print?
Sing Sing don't electrocutc a
man at a certain hour every day.
They wait until they get good
man and then electrocute him They
don't have a set time or custom,
and that is the way the BULLS
EYE is operated. We don't go to
press at ten O'Clock tonight just be-
cause we went to press at ten last
night. No, sir! We wait until we
have something that is worth while
to our myriads of readers. We get
them accustomed to the fact that
when they see the BULLS EYE,
they say to themselves, "The
BULL has seen something worth
WHILE" and that is why the Paper
is out today. Because it has new;
for you.

TWo Killed, Ten Others
Injured In Auto Crash

Willard Shockley, of Salisbury, and
William Green, of Cambridge, were
killed instantly and ten other negroes,
including members of a jazz band
from Cambridge, are injured as the
result of a collision of three automo-
biles on the Salisbury Ocean City pike
early Tuesday morning. Six of the
injured were reported in serious con-
dition at the Salisbury hospital.
Shockley, who was en- route to Ocean
City, tried to pass two other autos
bearing the band members, who were
returning after playing for dance at
the resort. Shockley's auto side
swiped the first and crashed head-on
into the second, killing Green. The
latter's auto burst into flames. Shock
ley's car then swirled about and piled
into road sign.
State police investigated the crash
and said that Shockley was intoxicat-
G dand was travelling at terrific rate

SOFT SHELL CRABS
SHIPPED TO EUROPE
Wallace M. Quinn, Crisfield Man,
Makes First Shipment To London.
Arrive In Perfect Condition

The C,isfield Times has the follow
ing Interesting item concerning an
innovation in the Sea Food industry:
"For the first time in the history Of
the sea food industry, soft shell crabs
have been shipped to Europe and Wal
lace M Quinn, of this city, made the
shipment from his plant at Morehead
City, N. c., as shown by the attached
clipping from the Carteret County
News, published at Morehead City:
Delicious" sung the radio across
the Atlantic from London to Wallace
M. Quinn of this city, who is one of
the largest distributors Of seafoods
on the Atlantic coast.
Mr.. Quinn thinks nothing of send
ing hundreds of dozens of prime soft
shelters to California and New Eng
land each season with no other idea
but that they will arrive in perfect
condition." but sending crabs across
the ocean was something of an inno-
walton.
It all came about when a correspon-
dent of the Baltimore Sun, who had
tasted end decided that there was
nothing quite so delectable as genuine
Morehead City soft she'll crabs, de-
cided to carry over consignment with
him on a trip to England, just by way
of proving to the Britons that there
was a delicacy in America that could
outshine their steak and kidney pie.
So he procured five dozen of More
heads best had them packed with care
and started on the ten-day journey.
The following radiogram attests the
success of the venture.

With the coming of air transporta-
tion there's no telling how soon the
British epicurean will be dining off
crabs that 4S hourse before were sid

Bogue sound, and thinking it not one
bit odd.
AS it is Morehead City is ready to
supply the world-it is only awaiting
the miracle of transportation that will
enable it to do So"

moke bridge is certainly Of great
benefit to Pocomoke, and the POGO
moke- Stockton road, understand, was
considered essential to the growth Of
the town.
Finally, think it hardly correct to
say, as your editorial suggests, that
the determination by the State of the
location of roads in counties is the
same thing as the assumption by the
Federal government of the rights Of
the States.
The rights of the States are guar
anteed them by the United States Con-
stitution, and any infringement of
those rights is contrary to the law Of
the. land. But the rights of the coun-
ties are what the State Legislature
says they are to be, and the Maryland
Legislature, instead Of giving the
counties the right to select the roads
which are to be built from the lateral
road fund, has done just the reverse,
and vested the final decision in the
State Roads Commission.
This is for two reasons, first, be-
cause it is important to have the final
determination made by a central body,
in order to have all roads fit in or
conform to a Statewide plan, and
secondly, because the State pays half
of the lateral road money.
My real purpose in writing you,
however, is not so much to discuss the
latter question. It is to try to put the
facts clearly before you with the hope
that the people Of Pocomoke City
might not feel that they have been
unfairly treated in recent years or
that the State Roads Commission il
disregarding and overruling the rec
concentrations Of the County Commits
.sioners now; and also with the hope
that your own paper, which is always
so generous in its support Of me and
always so willing to make allowances
for differences of opinion, ,,~rnight, not
feel so either. 80
