TWO TONS WOOL
 IS SHIPPED SOUTH

On the last steamer south II sacks of wool, approximately two tons, was shipped south The wool was clipped last spring on the Sitkaiidak L5land sheep ranch
 The sheep from which the wool was taken are part of the flock of the McCord Alaska Com pany. now undergoing reorgani- zation, and are now reported in fine condition, numbering with the spring lambs about 500 head
 There are also about 50 head of cattle there that are rolling fat on the excellent summer herbage. Although it has not been confirmed, it is rumored that the reorganization of the McCord Alaska Company affairs will result in the placing of a larger number of stock on Sit- kalidak next season as it has been demonstrated that they will thrive profitably if proper care is taken.

NINE organizers of the Agricultural Workers
~ Industrial League, Trade Union Unity Lea
que and Communist Party have been convicted
in the Imperial Valley case Eight were SEN
fenced to Jail from to az years and one for
20 years.
What does this sentence mean and how did
it come about?
In the first place one must know and under
stand the past struggles in Imperial Valley
and know what led up to these arrests, the
trial and sentence, on the other hand we must
consider the general situation in this country,
which is the basis for this attack.
Slave Conditions.
Many times we have referred to the slave
conditions under which the workers in Imperial
Valley live and work They work long hours
IL, ID and even 16 hours day; they get miser-
able wages ranging from three to four dollars
day, except for handful of skilled workers;
the unbearable working conditions-under
burning sun of 112 and even 100 degrees of
heat, the rotten housing conditions, drinking
water from the ditch; living in little rooms
that are hardly enough for one, families of
seven, eight and nine.
Bosses Fight Militancy of Workers.
All these rotten, miserable conditions have
caused the workers to revolt more than once
before. The workers struck spontaneously in
other spontaneous strikes. All these strikes
were misled and betrayed by the leaders of
the treacherous, reformist Mexican Mutual
Aid Association and the 'pinkeys" of the A.
F. of L. In the last strikes of January and
February, 1880, the Agricultural Workers In
dustria League and the T.U.U.L. came in,
and after this strike was lost, due to the be-
trayal of the reformists, the ANVIL. started
real organization among the Imperial Valley
workers. This frightened the growers, they
saw the ANVIL. was gaining more and more
influence. they saw that portions of the work
ers were responding very favorably to the call
of the ANVIL. and TU.U.L. They knew that
this union would be in position to and would
lead the workers in a militant battle against
the growers.
This was enough for the growers to organize
and mobilize their whole machinery: sheriffs,
state, police and stool pigeons and break up
the organization of the workers.
The raid and arrests of April ID were in
direct result of this.
A Challenge of the Boss Class.
After the arrests of April Id this case be-
came case not only of Imperial Valley but
of the country as whole.
Stool pigeon Hynes, who is the chief of the
Red Squad of Los Angeles, came to this trial

YEARS--WHAT NEXT?

not only as a representative of Los Angel
but as a representative of Wall Street,
Washington, of the Department of Justice.
The sharpening economic crisis in the U.
as part of the whole capitalist world, t
rehabilitation of the masses and their reat
ness to fight capitalist exploitation made ca
italism think hard over the sentence that tn
were to hand down to the defendants in
Imperial Valley case.
The sentence in the Imperial Valley ca
proves conclusively that capitalism had decid
to sharpen its axe against the working ella.
Criminal Syndicalism is now being revived al
is being used in order to outlaw all workil
class organizations, starting from the Cor
munst Party, the only leader of the workil
class, down to the revolutionary unions Of II
T.U.UL.
All through the trial proceedings there we
no individual defendants tried, but the Az
IL. the T.U.U.L. and the Communist Part
For the first time in the history of Grimm
Syndicaist cases, the defendants were convic
ed and sentenced not only for the charge ,
"force and violence" and other such Grimm
syndicalist points, but also for belonging
the Communist Party-14 years extra for tn
charge!
This shows clearly that capitalism has d.
cided to outlaw the Communist Party and
the revolutionary working class organization
to stifle the revolutionary march of the awaken
ing proletariat in this country. This sentent
will surely be the fore-runner of the "congrei
sional investigation" on Communist activities
now being conducted by the Wall Street go,
eminent in Washington.
What Now?
What will happen in Imperial Valley? Wi
the workers there accept this sentence witt
out comeback? Will they be so intimidate
by the boss class and give up their struggle
No, this will not happen. Too acute are tn
sufferings of the workers that they should Civ
up their struggle. The workers will have t
fight and will fight against the fruit an
vegetable growers, against the slave condition
of work.
The ANVIL. and T.U.U.L. must immediatel
start a campaign of organizing--a systemati
campaign of organizing shed and farm CON
mittees, to prepare the workers for struggle
to overcome the mistakes committed in tn
past in this regard.
But this case is way out of the boundarie
of locality, of Imperial Valley, or even Cal
fornia. This sentence is an attack against til
whole working class; and the whole workin
class must answer with counter attack o
the bosses, against the Criminal Syndicalis,
and Sedtion laws and against capitalist e,
ploitation.

every shop, locality and industry, with con-
solidation of responsible collective leadership
from top to bottom. The best forces must
everywhere be thrown into this work, the i'm
mediate tasks of which must be concretely
formulated.
ny Election of the Party leadership in
the Convention provided the final demonstra-
tion of the complete and fundamental unifica-
ton of the Party and the seriousness of its
approach to its immediate tasks. After the
closest scrutiny of all nominees by all delega-
tons to the Convention, for their political and
their personal fitness for leadership, the Con-
vention elected the list proposed by the Presi-
dunn by vote entirely unanimous for the
largest part, with only a few negative votes
on some individual nominees The Central Com
mittee and the Central Control Commission
elected represent the active, functioning lead
ership of the Party. in which the Party as
whole has expressed it's full confidence.
(12) The results of the Seventh Conven-
ton must be made the property Of the entire
Party by publication of the most important
sections of reports and speeches, by series of
articles by leading comrades, by special en-
lightenment on the Negro program with spe-
cial attention to the slogan of self-determina-
program, and by series Of popular pamphlets

with special attention to the economic crisis
and its perspectives.
The Party must now theoretically apply the
line of the Seventh Convention in its every

Spending A Vacation"
BY WILLIAM SIMONS.

THE practice of some comrades of going fro
the East to California for vacation fro
Party work has become such menace, esp
cially in Los Angeles, that energetic steE
must be taken by the Party to root it on
This is especially true of trade union wor
particularly in the needle trades.
In the Needle Trades Workers Industris
Union in Los Angeles there is a fraction
about fifty comrades, most of whom com
from the East to stay six months yeai
Too many of them feel that they have been
active in the East, have suffered in struggles,
and, having come to haven, peacefully lie
down to rest their weary bones. Whether they
feel it or not, they act that way
Tentative plans for strike in the fall sea-
son were laid for the needle trades yet not
thing was done for six weeks to make or
ganizational preparations, with the result
that the strike perspective had to be postponed
until the spring season.
Cloakmakers who were in leading positions
in the revolutionary union in Chicago and New
York are completely dead in Los Angeles. On
this basis, it is difficult to build the Trade
Union Unity League in California or to carry
on any work for the Party.
Already the Central Committee has decided
that comrades going to other districts must
bring their transfers with them, or they cam
not be considered Party members. This re-
quires campaign among the membership in
the Fast and rigid observance of this rule by
the districts
But more is required. Our membership
must be made to unders. and that leaving for
the coast does not permit of vacation from
Party work. The moment comrades come to
the coast they must throw themselves into &C.
tive Party work. This is made all the more
necessary by the weakening of our forces
through attacks by the state government.
California Incorporated" special agency
of the capitalist class in California, invites
tourists to California. But the California Dis
trict cannot follow their example. We cannot
permit any comrades TO be on vacation from
Party work while in California.

geticay fight to establish our Party as the
recognized leader of the working class in the
fight against capitalism.
Mass activity is our weapon, the winning of
decisive majority of the working class is our
goal.
We greet our brother Party of the Soviet
Union in it's tremendous success of building
of Socialism, unprecedented tempo of Socialist
industrialization, decisive success in Socialist
transformation of agriculture, its coectiviza-
ton, the victory over counter Revolutionary
Trotskyism. the successful fight against the
right wing tendencies and energetic correction
of eftist errors.
We watch with the greatest interest the
growth of new Socialist forms of production
in the Soviet Union, 'ocialist competition, shock
brigades, etc., by which the Russian workers
are enrching the treasure of international
proletarian experience which will be used by
workers of all countries.
One of our major tasks here is to alarm the
American working class to the grow'ngly &C.
tive participation and leadership of American
imperialism in attacks against the Soviet
Union. and to mobilize the workers to trans
form the war being prepared against the So
Wet Union into civil war for the overthrow

Useful Kn0fty Lumber

HERE Is one industry which not only has no
antipathy for knOtty lumber but actually
welcomes it.
Tests which have been carried out demon-
strated beyond doubt that knotty shocks actu-
ally add strength to the boxes up TO as much
as so per cent. providing, of course that the
knot Is not too extensive.
In thin material knots should not exceed
more than one-fourth of the total width Of the
shook, but in thicker material the knot may be
as much half the width before it becomes
too large.
The market for inferior lumber presented by
the wooden box industry is expected to so q
long way toward keeping the cost of other
lumber at lower levels than if the knotty um-
Der were discarded.
