Woman Striker Tells Of the
Brutal Raid on Tent COLONY

They were whistling, one whistle,
another, another, endlessly.
Each family went into its own
tent. We heard the shouts and the
sound of tents being slashed. They
were outside our tent.
"All you men throw up your
hands and come out" The answer
came: "This is my house, come in
and get me-" "Come out" "Come
into my house" Then one of the
strikers voices on the outside asked
the man to come out, and put his
head into the tent.
Gangsters of the Loray mob came
in, flashed eight or ten flashlights
all around, pulled young boy about
eleven out of bed.
We heard them march all the men
away, but not before they had come
back twice to search the tent for
guns and men.
Firing, Slashing.
All night long they kept coming.
Whole crews of them, whistling,
shouting, firing, slashing, flashing
lights into the tents at the most
unexpected moments, smelling of
liquor.
The tent colony was not the only
place searched that night, every
striker and union sympathizer was
visited" searched, insulted, threat
ened.
None of US slept a wink that
night. With the coming of the day
came more arrests, the women and
children ran out of the tents into
the woods without clothes, food,
having no shelter.
One Real Lesson.
A lesson in the class, struggle
never to be forgotten. The first
of this kind for the South, so far
as [ know.
A worker in the aristocratic South
grows up with the knowledge that
there are classes. He is the poor
white trash-the proletariat. He
knows he has no chance of ever be-
ing in any other class. So when
we get organized, We'll stick to the
union, to our class.
The bosses have done their best
to terrorize us, to scare us away
from the union. They're afraid of
what we can do if we have union.
There will be another strike and
it will not be long before we will
force the Manville- Jenckes Co. to
give us higher wages nd shorter
hours, and do away with the
stretch-out system.
Fraternally yours,
A WOMAN STRIKER.

Harrison, Victim of
Frame-up, Writes
CASTOR County Jail

CASTOR County Jail
For years northern manufacture
ers have been moving south. The
inducement has been an abundance
of native American labor free from
any traditions of unionism or mill
tant struggle against their oppres-
sors. Whenever a northern manu-
facturer found that he would be
compelled to recognize the union and
better the conditions he pulled
stakes and moved south. The en-
ployers found the money they in
yeted in southern enterprises
yielded huge profits.
More manufacturers came; those
already established expanded. They
hungered for even greater profits
and introduced the stretch-out sys-
tenn in the mills. The workers whom
the bosses thought docile became
restless. They had been living on
the bare necessities of life.
The northern workers decided to
lend helping hand to his fellow
workers in the south. Organizers
were sent into the south and the
task of organizing and training of
workers began. Strikes broke out
and the bosses began to realize the
southern worker was no different
from others when he was taught
how to struggle against the bosses.
The bosses decided to rid the
south of the organizers and used
every conceivable method to attain
their goal. They failed, however,
and found the workers were them
selves capable organizers. Thus as
last resort the bosses decided to
get all the active union members.
Today fifteen of US are lying in
Jail awaiting trial on a framed
up charge of murder. Eight more
have been held on lesser charges
and many more are in danger of
being framed on similar charges if
the bosses get away with this muir
der frame-up.
Workers everywhere must do
everything possible to defeat the
bosses in this latest attack.

MISLEADERS OF

TO Divide men
United Hebrew Trades
as Strikebreaker
(Bg a Worker Correspondent

wy " OFRSt wv &c PVfe|Ssesf
The strike-breaking tactics of the
right wing clique in the A. F. of
L. and the United Hebrew Trades in
the present strike is in line with the
tactics Of these takers in every class
struggle. They are exposed once
more as traitors of the worst type.
Takers Divide Workers.
In the summer of 1928, the Bakers
Local 500 passed resolution to or
ganize the open-shops in Brooklyn
and the Bronx. The first step taken
was to picket the shops controlled by
the Amalgamated Food Workers Lo-
cal 8 in Brooklyn. They started a
fight between the German workers
of Local 8, A. F. W., and the Jewish
workers in Local 500, A. F. of L.,
stirring up racial prejudice.
Then they also pieketed the shops
controlled by the A. F. W. Local 164
in the Bronx. Both in Brooklyn and
the Bronx, the reactionary bureau
Gratis tried to send out on the picket
line only the left wingers in Local
500 who were opposed to these fake
methods of Organization" Those
progressives who refused to picket
the shops controlled by the A. F. w.
lost their jobs.
Expel Progressives.
Now these corrupt takers are
again starting to expel all progress
sives who are opposed to their
traitorous strikebreaking tactics.
They have threatened to kick out of
the A. F. of L. all who help the cafe
terra workers in their brave fight
against the open-shop. The mislead-
ers do not stop at anything to main
tain their dictatorship. They resort
to gangsterism as well as expulsion.
The only thing that the class con-
scious workers in the A. F. of l..
food workers organizations can do
now is to join the Amalgamated
Food Workers, which is the only
militant industrial union in the in
dustry. 1t is based upon the class
struggle instead Of class collabora-
ton.

Death SHIP;
PAY IS Low
Libe Boat Has Hole;
Unseaworthy
(By a Seaman Correspondent

| Shipowners seem to think that
they are putting something over by
keeping unconditional ships in &C.
tive service, but some day they will
realize that they've done this to their
own detriment.
This is written aboard the S. S.
Agwipond, a Ward Line vessel, I'll
mention some of the interesting
points about cher"
In the first place they only pay
$55 per month for ABS, the lowest
wage imaginable for tanke~, as
the seaman aboard one of them is
always in the shadow of death; he
has the sword of Damocles perpetu-
ally hanging over his head. When
we went through the Panama Canal,
we had to get tug-boat. She had
been so overloaded that the Canal
officials could not possibly let her
get through.
In rough weather we used to have
swimming parties in the foc'sle.
(The foc'sle is the room in which
seamen live aboard ships,-a dark
dingy hole where the light and sun
shine never penetrate, but on the
other hand, where the bed-bugs and
cockroaches are plentiful.) The oil
vents were stopped up to prevent
evaporation, thereby making her a
floating death-trap. The generators
went on the bum, causing the oilers
and firemen to work in the gloomy
darkness and forcing them to use
highly dangerous kerosene running
lights.
Hole in Lifeboat.
One day when we arrived in Phila-
delphia I was told las | was the
hoatswain) to take the life-boat to
the water, together with couple of
seamen. AS we hit the water the
life-boat, instead of floating, kept on
going down. There had been hole
in the bottom that we had never
seen, as we did not have any in
spections during the whole trip.
The captain was very good bust
ness man, too good in fact for US
poor sailors. He should have tried
his ability on the outside world
some place. He used to buy cigar
cites in the canteen in the Panama
Canal for 80 cents carton and re-
sell them to US for $3.50!
Everything else was sold in the
same way.
A few days before the end of the
trip we were practically starved. I
was elected by the rest of the sea-
men to go to the captain to ask for
the ration that the law provides for
a seaman, so that. if there is no
cooking aboard you can always try
to eat. The captain answered that
there was no supply left on board,
that he had taken twenty days sup
ply for a forty-four-day voyage and
that we were fortunate to get what
we were getting! No wonder that
we were practically starving!

|New Amkimo Film Shows
Siberian He'll Under Car

THE American premiere showing of
the latest Amkino release, "In
Old Siberia" at Cameo Theatre will
take place this Saturday. This will
also introduce to this country the
work of J. U. Reiseman, Soviet Rus
sia's prominent young film director.
He has very intelligently and aptly
made use of number of methods
evolved in Soviet cinematography by
the brilliant group of experimenters.
The film testifies to the directors
artistic tact, his sensitiveness to sub
title values and his search of new
means of eloquent screen expression.
SIN Old Siberia" has placed Reise-
man in prominent position among
the young film directors in Soviet
Russia.
There is no basic individual plot
in this film. Amidst the Siberian
billiards, against the dreary winter
landscapes and the gray grim prison
walls, with the mass of criminal
convicts for human background, we
see conflict of two elemental forces.
The prison warden Ostrobeylo
with his hangman-like overseers and
the mire of the servile provincial
"society"-these represent emula-
lively and collectively the camp of
physical force.
Against them stands out the moral
force as personified by the group
of political prisoners.
The parallel between the two is
drawn in a firm, convincing manner.
From the very beginning one senses
the inevitable triumph of the moral
force over the apparently victorious
physical force.
