Ell Heraldo De Mexico, Los Angeles
daily, which had much to say CON
corning the strike in the cantaloupe
fields.
Avalos DepOrted and Not Deported.
The u. S. immigration service
stated, May Is, that Jesus G. Avalos
would be deported. Officials at the
border were sure they had discovered
"a clear violation of the immigration
law" He was reported deported in
the papers. The next day, however,
those same U. S. officials said that
Avalos had the best right in the
world to say in the "land of the free"
and attend to his newsstand and bull
letin board, etc. The arrest and "de.
portation" of Avalos may be the basis
for an interesting court procedure.
The local A. F. of l.. organ, the
L. A. Citizen, has had nothing to say
about the struggle of the cantaloupe
pickers. AS far as I know, The
DAILY WORKER is the only labor
paper reporting on it.
Hostile to Union.
According to the last report to El
Heraldo De Mexico, May %, R. Rio,
secretary of the new Mexican Union
was arrested after all the rest of the
prisoners had been released Although
Rio has been turned lose, the workers
have decided not to hold any public
meetings at present. All underground,
if any, for the time being because
the sheriff still is very hostile to the
union, Jesus G. Avalos says.
1t is now up to the labor movement
in the southwest to get in closer touch
with the Mexican workers than has
been the case in the past. Mexicans
are far more progressive than many
of the Americans. The latter expect
to become millionaires some day. The
former have no such false illusions
Study Spanish and take the leader
ship, Comrades! Lack of able organ
izers is the greatest handicap at pres
ent. Efforts must be made to draw
the Mexican organizations into the
American labor movement. In order
to do that-you must go to the Mexi-
cans, the Mexicans will be slow to
come to you. Our brothers from the
land below the Rio Grande have moth
ing against the so-called whites, but
they have reason to nourish a dislike
for the insult of being regarded as
interiors" The Mexican class-con-
seriousness is strong.

joy reading The DAILY WORKER
very much. While I was visiting in
the eastern part of the state, per-
son told me about The DAILY
WORKER. l believe The DAILY
WORKER should be read by every
working man.
Now few words as to conditions
in this part of the coal fields The
Cambridge Galleries Co. started one
mine open shop about three weeks
ago. Despite Oral Daugherty's ex-
tensive scab herding campaign, the
operators are having no success.
Only one black sheep was found in
Local ga at Caldwell
The operators are getting very un-
easy in this section. They expected
a large turnout wnen they started
open shop. But the few men they've
got cleaning up the mines don't know
the first principles of mining.
The operators in their frantic eff
fort to break the strike are trying to
bait some Of their old men. They are
offering as high as $240 a month if
the men will return to work. Their
offers have been rejected.
Judge c. o. Dye has issued two in
functions to the operators in Cald-
well. I learned that $50 business men
in Caldwell signed petition for
these injunctions.
In Guernsey County the miners are
not permitted to hold meetings, ac-
cording to an injunction issued by the
notorious common pleas judge, Turn
baugh, to the Morris Coal Co. and
the Akron Coal Co.
I am sending you $3.50 for a six
month subscription to The DAILY

much if l asked you to send the paper

like to read the DAILY, but have no
money right now?

Jones BILL AIMED
At ALL SEAMEN

by Worker Correspondent
The Jones' White Bill recently pas
sed by congress and signed by Presi-
dent Coolidge, should be of interest to
every worker engaged in the marine
industry. 1t is a militarization of the
merchant marine for time of war.
The merchant marine naval reserve
measure will prove very detrimental
to organizations engaged in the ma
rine industry.
Under the cloak of national de-
fense," the ship owners will sponsor
this bill for the express purpose Of
destroying any organization which
may be inclined to fight for better
wages and higher standards Of living.
The ship-owners claim that the men
viii not be forced to join the naval
reserve. But preference will be given
to those who are members of it in
securing berths aboard ship and this
will practically force men into join
ing it.
A certain percentage of the crews
being members Of the naval reserve
allows the ship to fly the naval re-
serve flag and mail contracts will be
given to naval reserve ships. Wa can
easily see that any sign of militancy
will be blocked by the seamen I'M
willingly forced to scab under guise
of this bill
1t also enables the shipowners to.
discriminate against the progressive
seamen by having them blacklisted if
they should agitate for better stand
ards Of livelihood and wages, and this
will tie their hands and force them
to become unwilling slaves of capital-
ism. -"BLACKTE."

Paul Green's New Play May
Be Seen Here Next Season

Paul Green, who will be remembered
for his Negro play 'In Abrahams
Bosom" which was produced by the
Provincetown Playhouse last season,
has completed two new full length
plays. One of these, titled "The House
Of Connolly" is about an old Southern
white family. The other, called
"Tima," is a poetical fantasy that
rides roughshod over all stage conven-
tions and rules. "The House of Con-
nelly" may be seen on Broadway
early next season.

Parents Protest School
Overcrowding
by q WorkeY Correspondent

by Yorker Correspondent
The Allerton section of the Bronx
where the Workers Cooperative is
located, is growing by leaps and
bounds. Within the last year many
new and large apartments have been
built and occupied. The only public
school in the neighborhood is located
blocks away from the populated sec
ton and mothers have to spend their
entire day running to and from school
in order to conduct their children
through the dangerous crossings
Overcrowded.
The school was built for 1000 chill
dren and is occupied by 1000 which
makes it extremely overcrowded. They
are forced to eat lunch on the floor
of dirty basement and swallow the
dirt with their food. This condition
forced the parents to organize. A
mass meeting was held and commit
tee elected to visit the principal.
A second mass meeting was held
on Monday, May IA, and the commit
tee rendered a report which reveals
the autocratic attitude of the prin-
cipal Mr.. RADIO
Mrs. Gritz, the chairlady of the
meeting, reported that, after telling
them to wait he said he would allow
them fifteen minutes and then re-
peatedly asked the clerk whether or
not the time was up. The assistant
principal had already informed them
that she herself would not even look
at them.
His first comment on receiving
them was that he did not believe they
represented anybody and then took
their names and addresses.
When the spokesman of the COM
mittee wanted to explain their griev-
ances, he refused to recognize him
because he was not a parent, only a
brother of some of the children.
The committee then left in disgust.

the situation. He organized a parents

to whose children he hands out favors,
and proceeded to divide the children
by lecturing to them on them on the
viciousness of the Co-operators and

against the children of the Co-opera-
