AWAKENING OF
SOLDIERS BEGINS
Servicemen Write to
Daily Worker
By J. III. STEELE

(Formerly in 9th Infantry, and a
member of Hawaiian Commu-
mist League.)
Letters the Daily Worker from
service men in the colonies of United
States imperialism prove that life
in the United States army is as in
tolerable and inhuman as is the life
Of the workers kept in subsection
by the army.
These letters describe the life OF
the soldier in anything but the glow
irg terms used by the recruiting
sergeant endeavoring to lure the
hungry youth thrown out of employ
ment by the damnable speed-up of
American industry into a life of
nercenary soldier in the United
States colonies of Panama, Hawaii,
Philippines and elsewhere.
Small pay, rotten food, tropical
heat. deadly to one raised in the
north temperate zone, together with
tropical diseases, leave these men
permanent physical wrecks at the
end of their three years service.
Many of them endeavor to desert,
only to be picked up upon entering
the United States again. Some of
them, disguised with American i'm
perialism, and realizing that moth
ing exists for them in this country
where they will have to dodge every
sheriff for years as q result of hav-
ing "gone over the HILL" go to Au-
stralia or to Latin-American coun-
tries.
The rate of desertion from the
colonies would be much greater if
it were not for the isolated condi-
lions of these colonies; Panama be-
ing the only one where any appre-
ciable number of vessels touch on
which service men have any chance
to escape from their three years
term. A few escape from Hawaii
IN spite of precautions of the gov
crnment.
The imperialists keep these men
in hand by playing upon racial pre-
judice and by telling them: "Oh,
well, you should worry, you only
have couple of years to do-and
then you can go back home and be
hero"
These soldiers are waking up, as
the increasing number of letters
prove, and it is only question of
time until they recognize their class
interests and take a definite stand
against being used for the further
exploitation of the colonial peoples.

". {. GMardsmen Refuse to
Be Used as Strike Breakers

Max Gardner, mill owning and
slave driving Governor of North
Carolina, has called the N. C. Ma
tional Guard out to guard the prop
erty of the criminal mill-owners
who have driven their workers to
such extremes Of exhaustion that
they have at last turned and are on
strike for their just demands.
Even the chauvinistic New York
Times can find no evidences of vio-
ence in this strike. Picketing is
orderly.
Gov. Gardner is Mill Owner.
But slave driver Gardner wants
this strike broken. His own mill
workers to the south of Gastonia
are liable to assert their rights and
then Gardner would not get his
usual fat dividends. And too. he
must protect the other mill owners
who selected him for governor Of
North Carolina. He has called in his
subservient tool Capt. Arthur Fuller
with the National Guard and per-
haps to shoot down the strikers, as
was done a year and half ago in
Colorado where the National Guard
and State Troopers cold-bloodedly
murdered eight miners marching in
a peaceful parade on the state road.
Looks for Promotion.
Max Gardner will doubtless en-
deavor to prove to the capitalists to
whom he looks for promotion that
he is as good a labor smasher as is
bloody Adams of Colorado.
May Shoot Fellow Workers.
The North Carolina National
Guardsmen may be called upon at
any moment to shoot down their
fellow workers in cold blood in an
effort to break the strike. They are
beginning to see the strike breaking
role of the National Guard. They
know that they are being used for
a dirty job they do not like. 1t is
their duty to defend the cause of the
strikers and not the mill owners.
Practically all of the enlisted men
in the Guardsmen are workers.
Guardsmen Must Aid Strikers.
The North Carolina National
Guardsmen must refuse to be tools
of the mill owners. If they refuse
to be used against the workers, the
strike will not only be won, but the
mill-owner, Gardner, will think
twice in the future before he calls
out the National Guardsmen for use
as strike breakers.
The workers in the North Carolina
National Guard and the textile
strikers must unite and fight to-
gether against the bosses-their
common enemy.

SERvICEMEN TRY
TO ESCAPE FROM
ARMY IN PANAMA
Deserters Taken from
Ship at San Diego

sMarch 20, 1929.
Editor, Daily Worker:
I have just read an article by
George Pershing in the Daily
Worker, and I wish to back up his
statements.
Although | was stationed in
Hawaii for some time, an incident
happened before I reached Hawaii
that showed me that there is some
thing wrong with the army.
Three Dozen Deserters.
After we left Panama to go to
Frisco, on our way to Hawaii, | got
to talking with a number of SOL
diers and it turned out that they
were deserters from the army in
Panama who were trying to get
away from the service. There were
about three dozen of them on the
boat. But when we reached San
Pedro a squad of IN. P" military
Police) came on board. Everybody
was lined up. They called the rolls
and caught all trying to desert,
showing that the army knows that
these men will desert and that they
are trying to get away on all boats.
Hard Labor for Soldiers.
Then Pershing writes about SOL
Giers working. In Hawaii the sol
oiers unload transports alongside
the civilians. Then, about the pay,
it is extremely hard for a private
to rise, because the average pay in
the army Excluding officers) is
about S25 month. Now out of
this lin HawaiD we were compelled
to send our laundry to the govern
nIent laundry for s1.25 a'month.
Then we bought anything in the
post exchange, where we were
charged sky-high prices. The prof
its are going to buy pool tables,
record piano rolls $50 the &c. o.
told u.s.. Then to top it, all we
we're told that all the money we
saved on our clothing allowance
would be to our credit. BrA they
invented something new. We were
made to draw more clothing out on
the pretext that our clothing was
worn out. Then, to everybody's sur
Prise, there appeared on the bull
letin board, about month later,
Just before payday, list of men
(about 514 of the company who
owed the government money, in
some cases as high as $50 for a
SCI a month soldier.
| will write some more about the
conditions in Hawaii and about the
beautiful" city of Honolulu Il Wis
tied it every night, being in Fort
Armstrong;.
Please put this in the Daily

POOR LIGHT FOR WORKERS.

Employers are so anxious to save
money on lighting that only half
the industrial workers in the coun-
try can see clearly what they are
doing, Lewis H. Carris, managing
director of the National Society for
the Prevention of Blindness intim-
ated in an address in jersey City
last night. Lack of proper lighting
not only Injuries the workers eyes
directly, but causes many accidents

Poem by Soldier Tells
of Conditions
Panama. March u, 1929.

Panama, March 81, 1920.
Editor, Daily Worker:
I am sending you a poem which
I would like to have published in
the Daily Worker. think it will
Give a little idea to the workers of
the true conditions we are forced to
endure down here.
Because of the persecution of the
soldiers who expose the brutal sys-
ten here in any way, you cannot
publish my real name.
A SUFFERING SOLDIER
(By a Soldier In Panama)
Down where the beautiful blue
Caribbean
Reflects the tropical moon,
Are seven thousand soldiers
brought here as Morgan's tools.
Where groves of bananas and man
goes
Give forth their prolific yield
Are found outcasts of civilization
The pride of imperialist rule.
Down here in hellish sunshine
These slaves that men forgot,
In hospital ward with terrible fever
Tie itch and the tropical rot:
Nobody knows that they are living,
No one would give a damn;
Back home they are forgotten
These soldiers of "Uncle Sam"
The soldiers in foreign service
Receive their meager pay,
They guard the Wall Street billions
For seventy cents day.
Down with the oppressed natives,
Down in the torrid zone,
On the banks of the Chigress river
Two thousand miles from home;
They climb the hills and valleys
With pack and heavy gun;
They try to sing a song
And drown their woes with rum.
Down to Colon on payday
To squander their meager wad,
They raise a merry time for an eve
ming
These forgotten "sons of god"
Back to the camp for another
month;
Oh, my, how time does drag along
When one can't find enough pennies
To furnish a man with Tags.
, Sand fleas at night keep us jump
ing
It's all that mortal can endure;
Oh, hell, are we convicts-
We soldiers on a foreign tour?

Jim Wong, Chinese valet and
chauffeur for Albert Duffill,
assemblyman from Clark
county, was arrested this week

Wong's activities became
known to the police when some
of the checks were returned to
Reno and it was alleged they
were forged. According to the
police, he had obtained nearly
$1,000 by this method, most OF
which he had sent to a woman

officers said, left for Los An
