MAIL FLYERS KEEP COOL
WEARING BATHING SUITS
No Trouble During Heat Wave Re-

tilating Cockpits.

Airmail pilots on the coastal run of
Eastern Air Transport, passing through
this city, who earlier in the season took
TO flying in bathing suits to keep cool,
have reported no trouble during the
present heat wave.
Flying at $500 to 5000 feet they find
the temperatures very comfortable. All
planes on the line now have been fitted
with air scoops for ventilation of the
cockpits and. as long as the pilots stay
in the air, they find some relief from
the heat wave which posters the

During the present hot weather the
pilots have maintained normal alti-
tudeS. The highest altitude any of the
mail planes has flown during the period
was $500 feet, according to records at
Boiling Field, and that was to take adj
vantage of better tail wind.

PORTUGUESE EMIGRATION
TURNS TOWARD FRANCE
Exodus of 1000 a Week for Second
Six Weeks of Year Beats
all Records.

LISBON CPl.-While the gates of
Brazil are only ajar to Portuguese emf
grants, those of France are flung wide
open.
Since the big coffee slump and the
crisis of unemployment in South Amer
lea, Portuguese emigrants have turned
their gaze across the Pyrenees. Exodus
to France in the second six weeks of
the year beat all records, an average
OF 900 Portuguese week being signed
by French employers.
These emigrants. it is declared, are
settled upon the land to take the place
of Frenchmen who, lured by prospects
of more money in the cities, have
deserted the rural districts.
There is much uneasiness here over
reports circulated by emigrants return
ing from Brazil concerning the misery
of Portuguese settlers in that country.
Emigration to 1t has fallen off almost
to zero.

was quelled
There was much damage to property

streets. In one thoroughfare hardly a
window remained unbroken in the
showers of stones and other objects
hurled by the rioters.
Streets Barricaded.
This troops were obliged to use their
rifles freely So severe was the en-
counter that after the police had
obtained the upper hand emergency
relief squads lined some of the streets
treating the injured. More than score
we're taken to hospitals. Losses on the
side of the police and troops were not

The Wafdists insisted on an immediate
session. and warned Ismail Sidky Pasha
that unless a meeting was convened to-
day they would hold a session forcibly.

Further study of the structural de-

light new secrets of fight resulting in

the belief of Prof. d. M. Watson Of
the University of London. In recent
lecture before the Royal Society Prof.
Watson said that these creatures were
vhe largest flying animals that ever
lived, some of them attaining wing
spreads of more than 20 feet. He also
said that researches on the skeletal re-
mains of a number of varieties seemed
to indicate they we're much better
adapted for flying than are the modern
birds
The wings of the pterodactyls con-
sisted of sheets of leathery skin Of a
very tough texture quite similar TO the
material Of the wings of a bat. The
bones of these creatures were hollow
and spongy, with internal ribs added

A STRIKE of nationwide significance is now
in preparation in Imperial Valley, Cal. The
workers Of the United States will get acquainted
with still more blazing facts of slavery and
exploitation in our land of prosperity" and
another red page in the history of the class
struggle in this country will be written.
Imperial Valley is an agricultural center.
More than $4,000 workers live and work unde'
the vilest conditions imaginable. Twelve and
fourteen hours day work under 100 to 105,
and even as high as l12 degrees Of heat, get
ting from So to 81 per day. Living in company
and private shacks, in rooms that are hardly
large enough for one person, are families of
seven and eight drinking water from the ditch.
In 1926 they struck for better living and
working conditions. In 1929 another strike
took place. In 1880, January and February,
they carried on two strike struggles against
the Fruit and Vegetable Growers. All these
strikes were lost; they were mslead and be-
trayed by the reformist leaders Of the Mexican
Mutual Aid Association and the treacherous
A. F. of l..
Strikebreaking.
The Mexican Mutual Aid Association raised
the slogan Back to Mexico!" in order to divert
the minds Of the masses of workers from the
struggle against capitalist exploitation in the
place where they live and slave; in order to
weaken this struggle The AFL. came out
openly and "bawled out" the foreigners" for
their "unpatriotc" attitude, and spread the
general scare of deportatons on account of
activity.
The workers lost their strikes, but not SOM
pletely.
Right after the strikes of January and Feb
ruary the Agricultural Workers Industrial
League, a section of the Trade Union Unity
League, came out to the workers with the
slogan: Organize! Prepare for a strike in the
coming cantaloupe season." And since that time
the workers have been organizing themselves
into the ANVIL under the leadership of the

worse from day to day. The dissatisfaction
and their readiness to fight grew. The A.W.lL.
grew daily. And when the growers realized
the danger facing. them, they made the now
well-known attack on the workers and their
militant leaders, on April IA, a week prior to
the conference that was to declare the strike
in May, in the cantaloupe season.
Fifteen of the 104 arrested on April IA, and
placed under $4,000 each, are now held in Jail
under reduced" bail of $4,000 each.
These fifteen workers and leaders of the
ANVIL. and TU.U.L. are charged with crimin-
al syndicalism, providing the possibility of
sending them to the penitentiary from one to
fourteen years.
Latin Workers.
Aside from the issue Of criminal syndicalism
there is still a greater issue involved in the
case OF Imperial Valley. There is the problem
Of the first serious attempt to organize the
agricultural workers and the Latin American
workers.
Imperial Valley is so far the first place
where organization of the agricultural workers,
that slave under the worst sort of exploitation,
and are totally unorganized, in the form of
militant fights take place. We can say that
the success or failure in the Imperial Valley
situation is the keynote to the problem of
organization of the agricultural workers, and
Latin American workers (for most of the work
ers in Imperial Valley are Mexican, Filipino,
etc. in America.
Bosses Worried.
The growers though backed by the largest
financial interests in the country realize this.
They are afraid of the possibility of the
ganization of the agricultural slaves which
would reduce their fat profits, and they are
therefore determined not to allow the workers
to organize. This is the reason for the attack
of April IA, this is the reason for the white
terrorism prevailing now in Imperial Valley.
The workers of the whole country must
mobilize and support this struggle. The work
ers of Imperial Valley must get full support,
both financially and morally from the entire
working class of this country.
