there are approximately 10000
Mexican men, women and children
in the fields who are paid $18 an
acre for caring for beets a whole
season"
The starvation conditions OF these
workers are duplicated In many sec
tons Of so-called prosperous
America. The Negro workers in the
South suffer from the same terrific
exploitation, with tens of thousands
of them starving even on the jobs
with, in addition, other tens of thou
sands unemployed and forming part
of the vast army of 100000 unem-
ployed workers in this country.
In the South when the Negro
workers revolt they are met with the
lynch terror of tn chooses. In the
Southwest when the Mexican work
ers try to organize they are met with
police terror and thrown into Jail, as
in the Imperial Valley cases, or they
are deported. Thousands Of Mexi-
can workers have been deported in
the present deportation drive with
which the U. S. Government is try
ing to terrorize the foreign born
workers into acceptance of wage
cuts and driving them to act as
strikebreakerS.

FRAME WORKER
FOR DEPORTATION
Falsely Claim Illegal
Entry

NEW YORK.-Because he obeyed
the patriotic injunction to "see
America first" a young New York
worker of Polish birth may be de-
ported to Poland. He is now in the
county jail at st. Albaps, VT, on a
charge Of having entered the coun-
try illegally.
AS matter of fact, the yound
pedestrian, whose name is Richard
Newman, never left the country for
minute since he first came here,
legally, seven years ago.
Newman, on a walking trip in New
England, decided that he wanted n
visit Canada and tried to get across
teh border in Vermont. The Cana
dian immigration authorities refused
to let him in because he didn't have
at least $25 with him.
When he turned from the Cana
dian immigration station to the
American one, he was stopped again
and questioned. The immigration
officials, whom he had passed only
an hour before, decided that he was
trying to get into the United States
illegally. He was sent to the Jail at
st. Adams and held in $500 BAIL
In letter to a friend in, New
York, which was forwarded yester-
day to the New York Committee for
the Protection of the Foreign Born,
80 Union Square, Newman tells of
his plight as follows:
I'm in Jail, being held for depor-
tation to Poland. The hole I'm in
is terrible one. No soap, no towel,
no water. I haven't washed my face
since last Sunday morning.
1.-THE grub, too, is most terrible.
Three slices of white bread, a small
chunk of butter and a cup of liquid,
called tea, three times a day. Day
after day, the same thing. No light
in the cell-in short, horrible"
In answer to this attack on a for
eign-born worker, which Secretary of
Labor Doak wants to multiply $4,000
times this year, the Committee for
the Protection Of the Foreign Born
is intensifying its activity on every
score.

In this hypocritical task of talk

the socialist" leader of the opposi-

cialiSts" supporting the capitalist
regimes in these countries are pre-
pairing for a new imperialist war.
These facts became clearer as the
League of Nations Assembly opens
with the question Of arming for a

Despite the action of the socialist

This strike, which succeeded in
soaring the boss in a period of two
days, achieved the following:
1. The boss agreed to treat the

8. Raising the wages by per

4. Recognition of price and

This shows what can be done by
the mass solidarity of all the work
