self, but also Fred Beal and the
Gastonia strikers from the clutches
Of capitalist class justice. Beal's
crime was that he organized the
workers into the National Textile
Workers Union, that he led a strug-
gle for better conditions and higher
pay which threatened the profits of
the mill owners. His life is in grave
danger and the workers and sympa-
thizers must aid in every possible
way the campaign of the I. L. D. to
free all class war prisoners, includ-
ing myself and the Southern textile
workers.
Denied Visitors.
Canter is allowed to receive only
one visitor every two weeks, and
this must be a visitor from his i'm
mediate family, either brother, sis
ter, parents or children. All other
visitors must secure special permits
sion from the penal commissioner at
Boston. took the police boat at
two o'clock, and after a brief stop
at Long Island, the poor house To-
Gated one half hours journey out in
Boston Harbor, we landed at Deer
Island, made famous by the deporta-
ton raids of 1920. Here at least
one prisoner committed suicide at
that time in protest against brutal
treatment. Canter's lot is not made
easy for him. He was put on the
kitchen shift which means that he
must work seven days a week for
1914 hours every day.
I filed into the prison visiting
room, near the warf, which is located
just in front of the main prison
building surmounted by menacing
sharp pointed turrets. The visitors
sit on one side of a long table and
the prisoners opposite, with a parti-
ton foot high separating them in
the center of the table. A guard
watches at the end of each table so
that nothing can be passed to the
prisoner by the visitor. The place
reminded me of the visitors room at
Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.
Allowed No Rest.
Canter first told of his daily rou-
tine. He gets up every morning at
five o'clock, works from $50 until
$50 peeling vegetables and waiting
on the prisoners at breakfast table
and then eats his own breakfast.
Then begins the daily grind Of peel
ing potatoes, turnips, carrots and
onions, of washing floors and clean
ing kettles. One of his jobs is I'M
loading from trucks sacks of pota-
toes and barrels of sailed meat. An
other is to keep a 100 gallon brass
kettle polished on the outside and
clean it on the inside several times a
day whenever it gets dirty.
In the polishing of the kettle only
ordinary soap is used which makes
the task doubly hard. The kettle is
steaming hot while being cleaned. A
job was recently open in the print
shop but was not given to Canter,
who knows the printing trade
thoroughly, as the r-5on authorities
make it as unpleasant for him as
possible. Most of the prisoners are
given an hours rest after lunch, be-
ing locked in their cells for this
period, but Canter is forced to work
during this time.
Canter's health has not yet begun
to be seriously effected, but he de-
clares that the change of diet has
affected him. The food, of poor
quality, is badly cooked, being
steamed, and is the usual almost
UNBEATABLE American prison fare. In

And Here's TOday's
Worst Auto Yarn
By a Dam Site

This is the story of a California
youth who learned a thing or two
by sad experience, about autOmo-
bile regulations In Las Vegas.
He's Jack Peck of the Platt
studio of San Berlnardino, and
his first lesson came when State
Traffic Officer Roy Gillian in
formed him he'd have to get his
certificate of ownership wrapped
around the steering post of his
car.
No sooner had he gone TO the
court house and attended to this
than his car was found Overpark-
cd on Fremont street.
After a friend had helped him
Straighten this out with the mu-
nicipal judge and chief of police.
he may have thought his troubles
were over.
But he then proceeded to make
the mistake of driving with ono
headlight and no tail light after
dark. And so he ran afOul of
Officer Bob Ziemer and with the
traffic officer paid another visit
to Chief Nash.
That was the climax. But to
cap the climax Peck left his 'buS'
parked OH Fremont after l am.
He toted his tag to police head
quarters and is now graduated
"cum laudc."

STATE BREAKS OFF
ALL NEGOTIATIONS FOR
TRI-STATE AGREEMENT
Supporters of Boulder Dam Bill Feel No Con-
Germ Regarding Outcome if Suit is Filed,
Says Sen. Johnson; He and Mead Express
Hope That Action Will Now Be fastened

PHOENIX, Arizona, Oct 30. Up)
All negotiations looking towards a
tri-State compact between Arizona,
California and Nevada for division
of water and power from the Colo
RADIO River under the Boulder Dam
project we're broken off here today
by the Arizona Colorado River COM
mission.
The announcement of the rupture
was made following a two-day secret
meeting of the Arizona commission
here and Attorney General K. =.
Peterson was instructed to take the
necessary steps TO protect Arizona's
interests in the matter.
The decision on the part of the
Arizona commission to withdraw
from negotiations followed receipt
of formal notice from Secretary of
the Interior Wilbur that this state
had been allotted only l8 per cent
of the hydro-electric power to be
generated at the dam.
This percentage, it was held,
would deprive Arizona of a large
revenue held to be rightly hers.
Oi0 Issue
The disagreement centerS around
the old issue of conflicting rights OF
California and Arizona.
Arizona's percentage of the power
to be generated is purely fiction, a
, lengthy statement issued by the
Arizona commission declares, and
will not accrue to Arizona uilIseT IN IN Z
program outlined by Secretary VIII
bur.
Couched in direct language, the
statement actually is bill of
grievances, concluding with the dec
laration that Arizona has reached
the end of the road" SO far as
further conferences are concerned
and her only recourse is the courts.
The numerous parleys with Cali
fornia are recounted. Further con-
ferenceS with the sister state would
be futile, the statement says. 1t
charges discrimination in the loca-
ton of the dam, in the allotment OF
water, and hydro-electric energy,
and charges that the Boulder Dam
project is a Southern California
combine in transparent disguise.
"masquerading in Arizona as a fed
cral project, appropriating to itself
powers, privileges and immunitie5
which as California enterprise It
could neither demand or enjoy
Grievances Listed
The chief grievances listed by the
commission follow:
|. For Arizona to concede water to
the Imperial and Coachella valley
projects as provided in the program
of the Secretary of the Interior
would mean that whatever new lrr1-
CATION projects are made possible
would take place III California and
not in Arizona.
2. Arizona must pay for Sucn
water as she uses from the dam,
while California is TO receive water
at twenty-five cents an acre foot.
3. Arizona's profitable use of
power from the dam has been wiped
out by tho Intentional placement of
tho dam at the nearest point to the
California power market,
4. That the 18 per cent excess
revenues awarded Arizona by the
Swing johnson bill will not mater
ialize because there will be no cX-
cess revenues.
