What shall the workers DO under
these cenditions2 Are we going to
accept the bosses attack without
any resistance? Not by any means.
We must put up a strong fight
against the arrests and deporta-
tons. We must unite in the strug-
gle in order to defend the rights
OF the workers. We must demand
that not a single foreign born
worker be deported, and all of
these who are waiting their deport-
alton must be released Immediately
and unconditionally.
The International Labor Defense
is fighting splendidly against the
deportations and has succeeded in
many cases to stop the deporta-
tons. However, it is important
that our struggle for the defense
must receive much more support
from the large masses of the for
eign born workers. We must bear
in mind that unless we are able
to put up a s6rong resistance, the
bosses are going to increase their
persecution to an unlimited extent.
1t is up to us to defend our rights,
and organize ourselves for the
struggles.
We must Iacuivizs cur language
branches Of the International Labor
Defense. More new members must
be recruited among the foreign
born workers, new branches, house
and block committees established.
With the good efforts we will be
able to bring thousands Of new
workers to help our work and hit
back the attack of the bosses, which
has been concentrated on the rad
!cal elements Of the foreign born.

BY G. ACKERAEAN

Over six years ago the workers
in the United States found it ne
cessary to organize a working class
defense organization, based on the
class struggle, uniting the masses
of workers on q partisan basis
Of international solidarity for pris-
oners aid and defense. Thus the
International Labor Defense was
organized June 1925.
The weakest point OF the LID.
is our organizationa1 work. The po-
litical and educational life of the
LID. membership is not what it
should be. The LII has great
influence amongst the toiling mas
ses, but this influence we have thus
far failed to crystalize organiza-
tionally. The number of members
in our organization does by far not
correspond to our influence among
the masses. Besides this, it hap
pens that as a consequence OF agit-
ational and educational shortcom-
ings along with organizational mis-
takes, great fluctuation in member
ship takes place. Therefore, it is
absolutely necessary to pay much
greater attention to the organiza-
tional and educational questions. A

While, we must utilize all possible

the class struggle issue involved in

sake of the best capitalist lawyer

advisable in many cases that the

officials. In these organizations the
members of the LID. are to act as
a group within the organization
and bring forth there to the mem

The millions Of foreign born in
the U.S.A. are the ones who are
facing today the most brutal ter
ror, mass arrests, deportations, etc.
The bosses are using very cleverly
their method of dividing the diff
ferents sections of the working class.
Language and nationality plays a
very important role in persecution
of the foreign born. The bosses are
still using the slogan that there is
no work for the Aerican workers
because of too many foreigners.
And at the same time the most
backward workers does not under
stand as yet that they must unite
in the class struggle regardless Of
the nationality, race or color.
The bosses are concentrating
their attack on the most advanced
ard class conscious section Of the
foreign born workers, who have
been active in the class struggles.
Persecution of too foreign born is
taking ever more b. utal forms De-
portations are increasing very rap
idly. The oppressive laws against
foreign born workers have been
adopted in many states and the

How Are We To Build The LID.
Into A Broad Mass Organization
We know that many workers join
the LID, vast to be members of
the organization, but do not find
the meetings interesting or find
time to come to meetings regularly;
busy in other organizations, work
ing late, too tired to come to meet
ings, etc. In order not to lose but
rather to activize these members we
propose the branches be organiZa
tons on group system with Mem
bership Captains on the following
basis.
al Each Branch should have no
more than so members.
b. Each Branch should be divided
into groups, each group composed
of no more than 10 members, with
Membership Captain.
G. The Membership Captain is to
visit each member assigned to him
or her at least once month for
the purpose OF collecting dues, per-
suading members to take part in
campaigns, etc. At the same time.
the Membership Captain should
have the Labor Defender and all
other LID. literature and leaflets
to sell to the member and give to
him to sell among his fellow work
erS, thus faniharizing the members
with defense issues and LID. cam
paigns.
ID The Membership Captain visit
these members In the shops, at the
Workers Center, where the mem
bers OF the LID gather, or at their
homes.
e Each Branch Is to meet once
a month where the executive COM
nnittee Is to report on its proposals
and follow with an educational dis
cuSsion. The Executive Committee
Is to see to it that each branch
meetings has political and some So
cial life, thereby making it inter
esting for the members to come.

To this we must add that while

 CUSTOM MS POST
Station at Taku Discon- tinued on Decline of
 Activities

Leo Osterman, who was deputy collector of customs at the Taku Inlet station last summer and who has been attached to the head quarters office of the Customs Service in Juneau throughout the Winter has been assigned as dep- uty collector to Ketchikan, where he will report for duty April 16, ac- cording to orders issued today by Collector John c. Mcbride.
 MT. Osterman entered the Gus toms service in May, 1880. During seasons of navigation, he was sta- toned at Taku Inlet and at other times was on temporary duty in the main offices at Juneau Owing to the decline of activities in the Taku district, the customs office there has been discontinued.
 MT Osterman and Miss Ann Negoescu, teacher, were recently married Mrs. Osterman will not move to Ketchikan until the end of the school year.
