Fighting Farm
7Ollens' League
Active IN Cal.

BRAWLEY, Imperial Valley, Cal.
(By MaiD The Agricultural Work
ers Industrial League has opened
headquarters at 904 ] Street, in
Brawley, Cal. the largest shipping
point in the Imperial Valley. The
League is out in the open with its
militant program of organization,
despite the police terror which has
reigned here since the first of the
year when the masses of morgan
lied workers revolted.
The thousands of field workers,
who are forced to toll long hours
under conditions far worse than
slavery, are organizing under the
leadership of the Trade Union Unity
League and the Agricultural Work
ers Industrial League with the de-
finite purpose of striking for better
conditions in the spring months.
Extensive plans are being made
for broad organizational campaign
throughout the entire Valley. Sched-
ules of weekly mass meetings in the
STREETS of every town in the Valley
are being drawn up. Meetings are
being held daily with the workers
on the fields, Field committees are
being set up in every district, and
numbers of active delegates are be-
ing sent into the fields for organ
national work.
Buy Communist Paper.
"Vida Obrera," the official organ
of the Communist Party in the
Spanish language, is being sold in
the streets at the rate of fifty copies
daily. The Mexican workers, who
are in the majority in the Valley,
numbering approximately 5000,
show by their enthusiastic response
that they are ready to fight against
the intolerable working conditions.
/ Wages for field labor run from
80 to As cents per hour for exhaust
ing physical labor in heat that
reaches 100 degrees. The working
day often reaches 16 hours in the
height of the season, never less
than -. Contract work is prevail
ent. The only shelter provided for
the workers in most cases is a roof
of leaves and grass on four poles !;
no walls. The workers must fur
nish their own cots and blankets or
sleep on the ground. No lights, no
running water. The workers are
forced to drink the water from the
irrigation bitches. No sanitary nor
bathing facilities whatever are pro-
vided. The workers themselves must
do their own cooking over an open
fire, no stoves being provided.
Stimulate Race Issue.
The employers constantly strive
to keep the workers of the Valley
divided on racial issues and attempt
to pit the Mexican workers against
the Filipinos, etc. In this they are
failing; the workers are organizing
( on a class bFsis in the Agricultural
Workers Industrial League. Mexi-
can, Filipino, Negro and American
workers attend the meetings to-
gether and declare their adherence
to the fundamental working class
/ principle of solidarity.
The date for an Imperial Valley
conference of all agricultural work
ers has been set for April 20 at
Ell Centre, to be preceded by a mass
meeting Saturday night, April 10.
Ten thousand conference calls will
be distributed throughout the VAL
ley. The conference will not only
work out detailed plans for imme-
date action, but will lay the basis

SPORTSMEN PREPARING FOR
OPENING WILD DUCK SEASON
PROSPECT FOR GAME ALONG
RIVER MARSHES is GOOD
Season Opens Thursday of Next
Week October Is, and Gunners
One Getting Their Boats Ready

Local gunners and sportsmen
are looking forward to the open
season for wild duck shooting
which will open October 10 and
continue until February l. The
present outlook is regarded as
excellent due to the dry summer
which has caused an abundance of
feed to grow on the marshes and
as there has been very few big
tides during the past few months
but few of the young ducks, it is
thought, have been drowned dur
ing the periods they are confined
to the nests. Since fne duck
shooting hobby has been carried
on for the past few years exten-
sively, many large marsh owners
look forward to the open season
from the standpoint of an indus
try and many have from five to
ten privately owned duck ponds
leased or rented out to clubs and
sportsmen from the distant cities.
These ponds are visited daily dur
ing the summer and the young
ducks are fed by throwing an av-
erage of one bushel of corn or
wheat per pound each day. Due to
most all pond owners feeding in
this manner the ducks fly from
pond to pond and feed. The ducks
retain their wild flavor when cook
ed and also are much larger and
fatter than the wild duck of sew
eral years ago before the feeding
process was started Thousands
of ducks will be killed in this sec
tion during the open season by
gunners stationed in blinds near
the ponds. Often live decoy ducks
are used that have been raised by
farmers who get the wild duck
eggs from the marshes in he
early spring, keep their wings
slipped so they cannot fly away.
Well trained water dogs are also
utilized for the purpose of going
in the water and reeds and bring
ing in the ducks that are shot
Gown. TIE Chesapeake Bay water
spaniel is the favorite dog for
this purpose, and when well train
ed will lay in the blind with his
master until the ducks are shot.
He will go after the ducks that
are crippled, first, to make sure
none will escape, leaving the dead
ducks to be brought in later. The
black mallard duck seems to be
the most plentiful this season,
while the blue teel duck is the
most sought for by gunners due
to it being more tender and most
" free from the fishy flavor that
characterizes most wild ducks.
Most gunners use extra heavy
loaded gun shells and as rule
number six steel shot so as to
penetrate the heavy feathers of
the duck.

ma Century Club, l desire to ex-

or conferred and to assure those
who have been so kind to thus
honor me, that / shall spare no
effort to serve the best interests
of our club, its members, our
charming little town, our State
aid our Country. inexperienced
as am, doubtless shall make err
rors, but you may rest assured
that they will be errors of the
head and not of the heart, and
that my desire will be to cause
none of you to regret that you
elected me to this Office. For a
club or any other organization to
succeed, it must do things which
serve to justify its existence. Dur
ing the club year, we should keep
that thought in mind and also re-
member deeds and not mere talk
will be the measure of the success
OF the clubs work. With team
work intelligently directed, we
should do much to commend our
selves to our own self respect and
to the respect of the community.
Without such team work, our club
will be in a broad sense a failure
Therefore knowing that there is
no member who cannot do some
thing for club and public benefits,
l appeal to you to adhere at all
times to policy of cooperation
and good will" A memorial to
the late Mrs Ethel Cooper Lloyd
