were out in the Ell Centre area. L
a valley-wide lettuce strike.
The packers were hard hit, and
the boss press had to admit it. They
were up against the real thing,
workers solidarity. Many of the
employers had to meet the workers
demands cents crate for piece
work, 81 an hour for hour week,
where the shippers ultimatum was
4 cents crate for piece work, 70
cents an hour for hour work.
Most Sheds Closed
Practically all Brawley sheds
were closed, except the Gerard and
Handy sheds and one or two small
ones. Every shed in Calexico was
closed.
While the workers were meeting
in the workers section, the bosses
held their meeting at the court
house, in order to be near the mas
ter class judges, police, sheriffs,
American Legion thugs, stool pig
cons and labor batting illegal lights"
from the office of the district.
At that meeting, the shippers
voted to pay &c crate for piece
work, zoe an hour for day work.
This was small increase from 3 "a
to 4c a crate for piece work, and
as low as 62 1-2c an hour for day
work.
Great Strikers Solidarity
! Some scabbing has been going on
sorry to say, but even the capitalist
press does not deny the fact that
the solidarity among the strikers is
good this time. They have undoubt-
eddy learned lesson or two from
the last strike, when the workers
were betrayed by the Mexican Mu-
tual Aid Association, a reformist
organization of class collaborators.
At some plants trimmers and
other workers were put on packing
work-and "efforts were being made
to get out complete shipments"
But they did not succeed. On the
other hand trimmers, also, are de-
handing wage advances. So prob
ably no more scabs from that d.
\ rection.
Extra rigid inspection standards
] by the lettuce growers clearing
house, resulting in throwing out
many cases, for repacking, are
causing loss of wages to the work
ers. This was one cause in forcing
the workers to kick back for a five
cent a crate rate or a wage of 81
an hour.
The so-called unskilled field work
ers are getting only 26 cents an
hour. But they will GUST their fake
leaders and make a united front
with the skilled workers in the agri-
cultural industry.
AS was the case during the last
strike Of field workers in Imperial
Valley, local papers almost ignore
the fact that strike is on. Fear
ing that the unrest may not only
spread to this paradise of the open
shoppers, but also to other soup
joint sections in prosperous" Cali
! fornia, the exploiting forces back of
the press have decided to "kilf' the
militancy of the workers by silence.
They will not succeed!
Agricultural workers, join the
Trade Union Unity League and the
Communist Party. Be sure to at
tend the mass meeting Of the unem-
ployed and the employed workers
alike at the Plaza on March 6.
