than the stone floor. When the COM
rades commenced a three day
hunger strike as protest, number
of them were again beaten. Finally
they were all taken to the lazarette.
The beatings had been so brutal that
many of the comrades were i'll for
a long time and some of them were
even in danger of death. The women
political prisoners were also not
treated with kid gloves. For four
days we had no strawsack, no cover
ing and no clothing of our own. Our
life developed in this period between
the lazarette and the cells. AS soon
as one comrade left the lazarette
another was sent in from the cells.
1t is difficult to write about things
which are still so fresh in the
memory. 1t is sad to think of all
our comrades, fighters for a bet
ter future for humanity, who are
suffering in the prisons. The strug-
gle is difficult, but those who have
once entered upon the path of the
irreconcilable struggle may never
look back.

solidarity.
3.-Governor Campbell asked for
federal troops-but an army officer
after looking over the situation, said
that all was peaceful and no federal
troops were necessary.
4.-Early July IL, the sheriff and
a large armed force of about 1000
men, rounded up / ,186 men, put them
in cars and carried them to Col
umbus, New Mexico. But the au-
thorities at Columbus refused to let
them dump the men there and the
train carried them to the desert
town of Hermandad, New Mexico.
The deported were without ade-
quate supply of food and water and
shelter for two days. Here the men
were abandoned. On July ID the war
department escorted these men to
Columbus, New Mexico, where they
were maintained by the government
until the middle of September.
According to the army census the
composition of the deported were as
follows: 1919 native born Americans;
4S6 citizens; 472 registered under
draft; 433 married; 141 British; 80
Serbians; 179 Slavs.
6.-The sheriff carried out the de-
portation. This was decided on July
IL by managers and other officials
of the Copper Queen Consolidated
Mining Co. phelps Dodge Corpora
tion) and the Calumet and Arizona
Mining Co.
Those carrying out the depor-
tation prevented any news of it
reaching the outside world.
8.-The deportation was wholly il
legal.
And after all this the commission
makes the following recommends
tons: l. All illegal practices must
cease. 2. Asks the president to
pass law making such deportation in
the future criminal offense under
the federal law. And that's all--not
a single recommendation to redress
the crimes committed against these
1000 workers.
No Action Taken.

was merely a brazen white-wash of

The federal government has never
passed law against such deporta-
tions. The 1900 workers who suf-
fered indescribable hardships and
many families who were deprived
of their husbands through death
from hardship and exposure result
ing from the atrocity were in no
way taken care of. Today the terror

Texas, and other states of that re-
gion, as is to be seen from the con-
spiracies against the campaign tour
of Ben Gitlow, vice-presidential can
didate on the Workers (Communist)
Party ticket.
The workers of the southwest and
of other parts of the country who
are victims of this organized fright
fulness must realize that only re-

Workers (Communist) Party can
fight effectively against this sort of
thing.

ONE October evening was arrest
ed after a search had BEEN made
in my room. Despite the fact that
nothing suspicious" was found, l
was arrested. When l threw in my
lot with the Party I knew very well
that one day the time would come
when l would have to say farewell
to my freedom. When l was ar
rested l did not lose courage but
remained cheerful. Only when /
met the other comrades in the police
station and saw all who had been
arrested, did my heart begin to sink.
The idea that our ranks had been
broken up depressed me.
We were locked in cellar usu-
ally reserved for DRINKS and in
capables. There 1 met seven of our
young comrades. They were all lean
ing against the wall, for there was
nowhere to sit down.
The Examination"
Finally the examination COM
menced. For three days in success
sion we were dragged into the build
ing of the Defensive" Polish Sec
ret police) for examination. On the
fourth day we were taken to prison
under a strong escort. From there
we were then taken to Petrokoff.
Solitary Confinement.
We arrived in Petrokoff in the
evening. At the prison doors we
were received by large numbers of
warders. After a very detailed
search we were placed in solitary
cells. These cells are small, three
metres long and two metres wide.
The window is high up in the cell
with heavy iron grating in front
of it. All that was in the cell was a
bed and table fixed to the wall.
In the Cell.
The prison bell sounded and soon
after we could hear the sound of
keys and the heavy steps of the
warders. The lock creaked and the
iron-bound door opened. A warder
handed me basin.
In the basin was a black and
sinking mass of something or the
other. Supper! I had not eaten for
a long time and was thoroughly
hungry, but l could not touch the
mess in the basin. l would have
liked to have slept, but the bed
frame was still locked against the
wall. Prison life is severe, but those
who fight for their class, must learn
to suffer.
The Warder's Tramp.
Later the prison bell sounded
again. The signal to go to bed. The
beds were unlocked and let down
from the wall. The prison sunk into
silence. / lay down on the bed and

The plot of the Arizona open-shop
hoodlums in the American Legion,
Ku Klux Khan, the city police and
newspapers to stop the campaign
of the Workers (Communist) Party
is in keeping with the tradition of
that state. Arizona's principal in
dustry is copper mining. These
mines are among the greatest in the
world, the largest of which is the
United Verde.
In the town of Bisbee, Arizona,
occurred one of the most fragrant
acts of terrorism in the whole his
tory of American labor struggles.
In reviewing this case the American
Labor Year Book for 1917-1S says
in part:
On July IL, 1917, 1,200 men con-
nected with the strike of the copper
mines in the Globe Miami district in
Arizona, were rounded up by a
vigilance Committee" organized by
the business men of Bisbee and de-
ported from the town into the des-
ert.
At the same time a concerted
movement against the /. w. w. de-
veloped throughout the southwest.
Famed War Hysteria.
Eastern newspapers, notably the
New York Times and the Herald
Tribune made it appear that the
1000 deported strikers were all 1
w. w. adherents and that they were
all engaged in conspiracy to de-
feat the war aims of the United
States. For this reason they con-
demned these men without hear
ing extolling the patriotic action
of the 'law and order" committee.
Barred A. F. of l..
A careful investigation of the
situation carried on by committee
of the Arizona A. F. of L., consisting
of six men, disclosed the fact that

Anti-Union League.
On July %, at a secret meeting,
the delegates of the Business Mems
Protective Assn. met at Bisbee and
organized the so-called State Loyalty
League. The object of the league
was the crushing of all labor unions
in Arizona. All working men and
working women were to be enrolled
in the organization under penalty
of discharge and expulsion from the
state. This aim of the league was
to be covered by patriotism"
When the State Federation of La
Dor of Arizona saw that the state
government was too weak to en-
force its own laws, it sent a com
mittee to Washington and had the
A. F. of L. lay the matter before

a special commission to investigate

principles Of JefTersonian Democracy

ings
Democracy and honesty in public

Democracy believes in property rights,

Democracy will not compromise with

moral question.
Democracy believes in law observ-
ance and demands the enforcement by
the Chief Executive OF every provision
of the Constitution and the laws made
in pursuance thereof.
Democracy will not compromise
