anything to better the economic sta
tus of the Latin-American workers
in this country, are following the
policy of their imperialist masters
by serving the interests of the en-
ployers insofar as the Latin-Amer-
lean worker is concerned.
Agricultural Laborers.
In the West and Southwest, where
the greatest majority of Mexican
workers are to be found, we find
them working for the fruit growers.
The fruit growers are opposed to
the immigration law, as the Mexi-
cans are the cheapest labor. The
chamber of commerce of the I'M
perial Valley of California says,
without the Mexicans in I'M
limited numbers, our section, where
cantaloupes are grown, will go
back to the deserts. Take away
the Mexicans and you destroy the
sugar industries"
Railroads and other great indus
tries may suffer serious blow if
unlimited Mexican labor is cut off.
In Texas the Mexican workers are
the only raisers of the Bermuda
onions by thousands of bushels an
nually. In Mississippi and Texas,
they pick cotton. In some commune
ties of Arkansas and Tennessee the
Mexican worker has replaced the
Negro worker. On the Salt River
and ella River Valleys of Arizona,
the Mexicans are predominant. The
growers of the Great Western Sugar
Co., employ over two thousand to
grow $4,000 acres of beets. In
Southern California they are indis-
pensable for the fruit growing. Also
for horticultural work.
In Nebraska, 5000 Mexican work
ers are employed in the beet fields.
They are even found in Alaska
where they can salmon.
Miserable Working Conditions.
Los Angeles is the greatest Mex
lean centre in the country. With a
population of about 100000, Mex
leans children labor is widespread.
During the fruit seasons, the Mex
lean workers toll in the fields with
their wives and children. The aver
age wage is $500 per week. When
the season is over, they are COM
PEELED to travel from state to state
with their families. This accounts
for the widespread diseases among
Their.
The Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe Railroad employ over 10000 Mex
lean workers. The Denver and Rio
Grande Western Railroad employ
about 5000. The Great Northern
Railroad, 1000, the Soutern Pacific,
over 1000 in Texas and Louisiana
alone. We also find them employed

and lead-the chaser could detect
cigarette smoke as he detected poison
gas in the army. But he coughed
as he reached the game.
Piles of coin jingled on the con-
crete floor, and every player rushed
to the nearest machine. The right
full machine driver felt saved and
virtous. The players were prompt
after that, and watchful.
One of the young fellows in the
shop was never greeted by the
chaser. Unmarried, he was fiercely
resentful at having to work as a
drivers mate at nights when others
walked in the park with the girls
or listened in on the radio. He had
been prisoner Of war, and although
he brought the best lunches in the
shop, the hollow cheeks of the prison
camp had never filled out.
"Who the hell can eat in this
placer" he would ask.
Hell lose them skirt-chasing
ideas when he gets my age, the
oldest man in the shop said:
Hell be all right if he don't get
married." lead-press man, father
of six, said wistfully.
The ex-prisoner had an easy job
done by boy of sixteen on the day
shift. He watched the cable curl on
the wooden drum, and was supposed
to look for defects in the paper. The
drum revolved on the axle lazily.
"Like bloody slow motion picture"
the mate said. One length of cable
often took four hours to run off.
The mate liked to read the sports
column of the newspaper while he
mechanically guided the cable into
position on the drum. He was in
terested in the result of the big
fight the night the chaser saw him.
"Put your coat on" the charge
hand told him later. "The chaser.
said we want men who take an in
terest in their work."

The chaser has been out of the
army for six years. But when he
walks through the shop on his first
tour Of inspection, it is easy to de-
tect the military bearing of the ex-
lieutenant. He swings his head
easily from side to side, like an Off
Ger watching for salutes. The square
cut of his sober, efficient grey suit
sets off his carriage. And the
chaser knows that the derby hat
suits his sharp eyes and crisp-cut
mustache better than soft felt.
He saunters out of the office at
$3.50, half an hour before the gangs
quit work for the first break. He
remembers the neatly-written slips
left on the desk by the day clerk.
He knows what jobs must be rushed,
and what jobs can be left over. He
knows the drivers of the machines.
Directly Harry Rivers, the am
bilious -winder in the repair
shop, was transferred from the day
to the night shift, the chaser won
his confidence and showed he liked
to see ambition in young fellows by
discussing production with Harry
occasionally; and sometimes he gave
him a cigarette.
The paper-lapping machines stand
40 to so yards apart. At $3.50 the
machine drivers and their mates
look toward the office. They see
the derby hat Lobbing above the
cable drums.
Hold 'em up--comingw
They look hard at the machines.
AS the cable drags slowly through
the mandrils they inspect it in
terestedly. Their regulations as
good workers" are at stake.
The chaser reaches the first
machine. His suave face looks like
an advertisement, for dental cream
after his walk across the park from

present an important factor in this
industry. We also find them toiling
in railroads, packing houses, tobacco
factories restaurant and hotels, dye
factories. textile, mining (Colorado).
The Latin-American workers are
being Disseminated against as an
inferior race" AS in the case with
the Negroes, they are being segre-
gated in unhealthy headquarters
clos Angeles, Imperial Valley.
This discrimination makes it more
difficult for them in their daily
search for jobs. They are called
"greasers" and are looked down
upon. The Latin-American is legal
ly known as white" and yet few
communities insist that Latin-Amer-
lean children shall be enrolled in the
Jim Crow schools. The Latin-Amer-
lean worker is exploited by ruthless
agents through whom the employers
hire the workers. Their children
have special schools erected for them
so as to segregate them from
white" children.
In time of unemployment, these
workers are prosecuted by the local
authorities while they are welcomed
at season" time. They are arrested
and jailed for vagrancy. The follow
ing is an excerpt from a letter re-
ceived from a correspondent of "Vida
Obrera," the official organ of the
Spanish Language Bureau:
"The Mexican population is
working under conditions of ex-
ploitation too terrible to be des-
cribed. Just yesterday 40 of them
were thrown into the local bastile
on vagrancy, fined what they had
in their pockets and turned loose.
Those who had nothing, were held
for ten days or rather, are being
held. They will be taken to the
edge of town and told to travel"
Mexicans Most Numerous.
Compared with other Latin-Amer-
lean immigrants in the United States
the Mexican is the greatest in num-
her. The yearly immigration is about
$4,000, the second in number of the
national immigration in this coun-
try, the Canadians being the first on
the list. This is why the Mexican
immigration presents serious prob
lem for the capitalist class. A bill
is at present under consideration be-
fore the House of Representatives,
restricting the immigration, not only
of the Mexican workers but of all
Latin-American workers. The reac-
tionary leadership of the A. F. of L.
demanded, in resolution at its last
convention in New Orleans, the re-
stricting of the Mexican quota. These
officials, who never did

By ALBERT MOREAU.

| At the VI World Congress of the
Communist International our Party
was criticized for failure of work
among the Latin-American workers
of this country. The American dele
cation to this congress brought a
/ recommendation to cooperate with
the Mexican Party in order to or
ganize the million and half of Mex
lean workers all along the Mexican
border.
Organization of Millions.
With the constant influx of Latin
American workers our Party is con-
fronted with a series of problems
that the organization of a millions
of Latin-American workers presents.
The CT criticism was well justified.
Only recently some of our D. O.s be-
gan to realize the Importance of agi-
tation, propaganda and organiza-
tional work among these workers.
In spite of the repeated requests
made by the Spanish Language Bur-
eau, there has been neglect on the
part of some of our District Organ
izers to turn to this phase of our
work inasmuch as the population in
their districts comprise from so to
70 per cent of Latin-Americans. 1t
is hoped, however, that right after
the close of the National Convention,
the districts will pay more attention
to the mobilization of Latin-Amer-
lean workers for trade union work,
and anti-imperialist work with the
object of bringing them closer to
the Party and ultimately in it.
The immigration of Latin-Amer-
leans in the U. S. is due principally
to the growing U. S. imperialist
penetration into Latin America,
which expresses itself in mass ex-
preparation of the peasants from
their land and the industrialization
Of the countries involved. Porto
Rico is a classical example. Porto
Rico is owned by few American
corporations and the peasants, being
appropriated, find themselves either
slaves to the sugar, coffee and to-
bacco plantation owners, or COM
PEELED to immigrate to the United
States in order to avoid actual star
walton.
Some of these workers are po-
litical refugees who are forced to
run away from the criminal hands
of the relationships set up by Amer
lean imperialism in Latin America.
Mostly Unskilled Worker.
Ninety to 95 per cent of these
Latin-Americans are workers. They
constitute to a very large extent, a
mass of unskilled workers and they
are the most exploited, after the Ne
gro. In some instances the Latin
American works for lower wages
than the Negro. Negro railroad
worker, for instance, is being re-
placed by the Mexican at a lower
wage than the Negro had formerly
received.
They are engaged in fruit grow

by the hundreds by the Pennsylvania
Railroad.
No single group of workers in the
United States is suffering more seri-
ously from the evils Of seasonal en-
ployment than does the Mexican
worker.
The packing houses in Chicago
have great number of Latin-Amer-
lean workers. Tampa, Fla, alone
has over 100000 Latin-Americans,
the majority of whom are Cubans,
employed in the tobacco industry. In
New York, and the border line of
New Jersey, there are more than
100000 Latin-American workers;
they toll in restaurants, hotels, pack
ing houses, tobacco factories, dye
works, textiles, etc. Their average
wage is from $1,000 to $500 per
week.
T.U.E.L. Should Organize Them.
THE brief outline Of the conditions
of the Latin-American workers in
this country should make US realize
the importance of the work that con-
fronts us. The Trade Union Educa-
tional League is the first organiza-
ton which should initiate a CAM
paign to organize the Latin-Amer-
lean workers in their respective
unions, taking a leading part in the
struggle against the A. F. Of L. Of
ficialdom which keep them out of
the unions, in the organization of
the unorganized and the building up
of new unions.
Our anti-imperialist propaganda
can be successfully carried on among
the Latin-American masses, for
every Latin-American worker is an
anti-imperialist and the question is
to activize him.
The publication of Communist lit
erature in Spanish is imperative.
The Spanish Language Bureau of
the Party constantly receives re-
quests for Party literature in Span
ish. The Party should undertake the
publication of pamphlets, leaflets,
etc, in Spanish with the help of the
Bureau.
New Fractions Built.
Since the publication of "Vida
Obrera," the Party was able to
organize Spanish Language Frac-
tions in few districts, such as De-
troit, Chicago, San Antonio, Texas.
The New York Fractions, which
started with a membership of ten,
has now over so members. For the
past year this fraction initiated anti
imperialist work, the formation of
Workers Club, an /. L. D. branch
and general educational activities
among the Latin-American workers.
The Spanish Language Bureau of
the Party constitutes at present the
basis for organizational work among
the Latin-American masses but the
districts are the ones who should
undertake the work and change the
Bureau into an instrument of propa-
ganda to help the districts carry on
the work among the Latin-Americar
workers.
