Stories of Bumper
Crops Are the Bunk,
Worker Points Out

BENTONvILLE, Arkansas, April 20
Ia great deal of misleading propa-
ganda is being put out concerning the
strawberry crop in the Ozark plateau,
of which Bentonville is the center. It
is being claimed that the berry crop
will be larger this year than ever be-
fore. Three cents quart is the pro-
posed price to be paid for picking, and
from one hundred to two hundred
quarts is claimed to be an ordinary
days work.
Under these conditions the pickers
could make from So to Sc day.
AS a matter of fact, it is problem
atical whether there will be any crop
at all. That the crop will be of bumper
proportions is impossible following the
very backward growing weather pre-
vailing this spring. In exceptionally
good berries, an expert can pick from
sixty to eighty quarts a day. In the
most favorable fields he may occasion
ally get as much as hundred quartes.
More than that is impossible at any
time. Picking strawberries is awfully
hard work that must be done while
crawling along the ground on hand
and knees.

Let everyone come to Carnegie Hail.

us further conduct our fight for better
living conditions. Let's conduct it

OF sacrifice that has hitherto marked

We must demonstrate at Carnegie

internal and external enemies. Let
the employers know that no maneu-
vers and no tricks in whatever form
can injure our brave fight. The Car

must blow up as have blown up all

At Carnegie Hall the fur workers

Khan Seeks to Get on Jury.
Up to late yesterday afternoon but
six members of the jury were ex-
amined. The ku klux khan is making
the most desperate efforts to get onto
the jury and return verdict of guilty
against Henry Sweet. The case of
Henry Sweet is considered the most
important. The fate of Henry Sweet
trial will determine the outcome Of the
trials of the other 10.
Question Jurors on Race Prejudlces
Every prospective juror is closely
questioned on his racial prejudices by
the two lawyers for the defense, Clar
ence Darrow and Tom Chawke. It Is
expected that the jury may be com
pleted late this afternoon or early to-
morrow.
If the trial Of Henry Sweet results
in jury disagreement or an acquit.
tai it is declared that the case OF the
other ten will be nolle pressed. Due
0 this fact every effort Of the ku klux
an is being made TO convict Henry
Sweet and either send him to the
gallows or to a life sentence in prison.
The khan forces are determined to win
this case.
The first trial Of the eleven Negroes
ended in jury disagreement after the
jury had deliberated over AS hours,
The trial itself lasted over four weeks.
The trial was bitterly fought battle
This trial is expected to be much more
severe.
This trial will determine whether
the Negro has the time-honored right
to defend himself against an assault
by a mob bent on lynching him.

PULLMAN PLAN
FOR PORTERS is
COMP ANY FRAUD
Grievances" Die of In
attention

ST. PAUL, Mimi, April 20-In spite
of the official statements of the Pull
man Company that "all employees are
permitted to become members of any
organization that they DESIRE" Frank
Boyd, porter in good standing for 10
years, has been notified to stay off his
run.
On January Is and IA at meet
ings of the newly organized Pullman
Porters' Union, he spoke in favor of
the union. On the 18th he was mott
fed not to take his regular run. He
has not been employed now for three
months, altho technically he is still
an employee of the Pullman Company
Discharge Trick.
This is the method used by the
Pullman Company to dischage union
men. When Boyd attempted to bring
his case before the grievance commit
tee as provided in the fake Employees
Representation Plan" the company Of
flcials refused to issue form No. 9,151
upon which grievances are made out
to the zone committee. According to
the agreement which went into effect
February Is, 1926, every employee has
the right of flair and impartial hear
ing at the earliest possible date as
to the cause and justification of sus-
pension or dismissal, provided hearing
is requested" Registered letters
have been sent to Healey, the district
superintendent, and to c. Ross, the
chairman of the district porters' rep
resentatives. Still no answer has been
gotten from them.
Provisions.
A few provisions of the plan will
serve to illustrate how impossible It is
for porters to get justice thru it.
Rule 8, Section 3 provides: SHOULD
an employee subject to this agreement
believe he has been unjustly treated
he may appeal to his district of.
fetal (Healy)." He may appeal. This
appeal may or may not be recognized,
as the superintendent pleases. In this
case no notice has been taken of the
appeal. Further: Cd HE may refer
the matter to the local committee &c.
Ross, chairman), such committee to
grant a prompt hearing" This was
done. Again no provision for enforc-
ing the appeal. Failing satisfactory
adjustment, the claimant may re-
fer the matter to the zone central
committee, and finally to the bureau
Of Industrial realitons"-all of which
has been done in the regular manner
i in the present case.
Conference must be granted with.
in ten days" Now Boyd has been
thrown out of work for three months
without explanation, waiting action on
his case. This shows the bankruptcy
of the plan as far as the porters are
concerned.

Canton Exposes Lies
of British Imperialism
Especial to The Daily Worker

MOSCOW, U. S. s. r. (By Mail y
The reactionary British press at Hong
kong and in London have spread SEN
sational stories of disruption within
the nationalist government here in an
effort to further their imperialfst
propaganda.
These reports have no real basis.
They are nothing but provocative
maneuvers of British imperialism.
There has been no instruction in
Canton.
The basis Of the reports seems to
be certain differences Of opinion be-
tween a general of the Canton army,
Chang Kai Shi, and the Canton gov
eminent. These differences were not
concerned with matters OF principle
and had no connection with an armed
struggle for power. The differences
have since been abolished, and Can
ton remains the stronghold Of the
movement for the emancipation of the
Chinese people.
The attempt Of British Imperialism
TO utilize the unlmpOrtant ulHerences
in Canton in its own interests has
failed, just as all its previous attempts
with other means to crush Canton
have failed The working class OF
Canton rejected energeticalIy all eff
forts to alter its revolutionary policy,
Reveals English Intrlgues.
The Moscow press regards this
provocative maneuvers OF the British
reactionay press as an exposure of
the real plans of British Imperialism
with regard to Canton. The Isvestia
writes: 1.-THE wish was the father OF
the thought, and the British imperial
lists presented their real intentions as
a fat accompli"
