Agricultural Workers Forge Ahead With New
Battles

A hot sun continuously burns

usual thing in the Imperial Valley.
In this hot desert sun, 9,444 Mexi-

agricultural workers slave for $3.50
to $500 a day-in season; picking
lettuce and cantaloupes (back and
knee) in fields without drinking
water or toilets and in packing

Ranching in the Imperial is
carried on on a large scale by such
huge corporations as the Ell Monte
Packing Corp, etc. The ranchers
control the Valley officials in a
manner similar to that in industrial

Mitten Stock Scheme

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April %.
Shameless looting of workers
through the much-touted employee

renowned anti-union Philadelphia

again.

phia Record declares editorially,
"the mems total holdings were

on that date their trustees, acting,

ces amounting to undue persuasion,
compulsion, and duress, and by un-
true inducements, exchanged the
whole lot for stock in Mitten Bank

In this manner, as soon as the
employees accumulation of P. r. T.
stock was large enough to carry
control of the company, the Mitten
group deity took it over, and in the
manipulation realized profit of
several million dollars at the ex-
pense of the P. R. T. men.
The Mitten plan is endorsed by
the officials of the Amalgamated
Association of Street and Electri-
cal Railway Employees, and these
bureaucrats have an actual written
agreement with the Mittens not to

SAILOR COMPARES
U.S.-SOVIET CREWS
Americans Get Scum Not Food

(By A Workers Correspondent
SEATTLE, WASH, April 90
About one week ago, ship arrived
here from Boston. Mass. S. S. Lake
Fandon, which has been bought by
the Soviet Government and is
manned by Soviet crew.
Compared the conditions of these
Soviet seamen, with the conditions
of the american seamen. The dill
ference is like between day and
night-for example: Russian seamen
work on deck 8 hours. American
seamen work II hous. The food OF
the Russian seamen is of the best
and is the same as the officers food.
On an American ship the officers
get the best food, and the sailors
get the scum.
All the working clothes of the
Soviet sailors are supplied by the
ship, their laundry is all done free,
if the sailors are out at sea and
they have to wash their clothes the
ship pays them for it. On an Ameri-
can ship you not only don't get
your clothes, but you have to buy
from The Slop Chest which soaks
you about twice the amount you
would pay ashore, and when you
want to wash them by yourself, you
not only don't get paid, but it's
pretty hard to get a piece of soap,
from the ship.
The wages of the Soviet seamer
are $3.50 a month, and fireman
$3.50, and double time for over time.
On an American ship the average
is $55 a month and $3.50 to $cj
and no money for over time (and
you get plenty of it too,). If you
dare to ask for the over time they
owe you, you're pretty sure to get
fired.
The Soviet Nremen work four
watches in fireroom, the watch
is four hours on--twelve off. The
American firemen have to worl,
four hours on eight off, and on top
of that they have to work all kinds
of over time.
And when The Soviet seamen get
sick. they get the same wages rs
when they arc working, and their
