ers of the Negro masses, carry out
the vancouver of splitting the
working class and continuing the
isolation of the Negro masses under
the guise of struggle for jobs for
the tens of thousands of unem-
ployed Negro workers. They do not
demand that the bosses and their
government provide jobs for the
unemployed. They give no support
to the demands of the unemployed
for unemployment insurance, for

oppose these demands with the US

By ANDREW ovERGAARD

While the Capitalist press bowls
about the "Sanctity" of the home
while hypocrites and liars howl
about the Bolsheviks "breaking up
the home" the number of women
and young girls employed in the
metal industry increases from day
to day.
Young girls are working at
break neck speed in Electrical fac
. tories 8 and 10 hours a day, at
much lower wages than formerly
paid to men. In the R. C. A..
Radio plant in Camden, N. j., girls
are shaving on the conveyor belt
without time to draw their breath.
The wages of these girls are con-
tinuously being cut.
In many steel plants woman
workers are employed sorting tin
for much lower wages than for
merly paid to men. The employers
are using the women workers to
further lower the standard Of liv-
ing of the workers. The story told
by a young worker in a can factory
in Canton well illustrates how the
bosses break up the homes of
workers in this period of rational
ization and speed-up.
This young worker was working
for six years in a can factory for
so cents an hour and on the eve
of the Hoover prosperity" was
laid off. After the using up of all
his savings his wife went out look
ing for work and finally secured a
job in the same factory and on the
same machine. But for Is cents

AS the workers move forward to
the struggle against the hunger
system of capitalism, the bosses
and their tools attempt every trick
to split the ranks of the working
class and divert the struggle against
unemployment and starvation into
fights among different groups of
workers: whites against Negro
workers, Negroes against the for
eign born workers, etc.
Discrimination Against Negroes
In the South, unemployed white
workers who have been thrown on
The streets to starve by the bosses,
are told by boss agents that the
few Negro workers still holding
some miserable underpaid jobs are
responsible for their plight, not
that the bosses who have cynically
thrown them on the streets to die

of starvation and cold. The boss
agents declare that the Negroes are
holding jobs that should be held
by the white unemployed, that the
Negroes have no right to hold jobs
when white men are unemployed.
This is the boss policy of maintain
ing the Negros in the class of mar
ginal laborers-a surplus labor sup
ply to be kept at starvation level
even in good times"
In the South, this vicious manou-
yer is lead by the Ku Klux Khan,
the Caucasian Crusaders and other
fascist organizations supported by
the A. F.. Of L. bureaucrats and the
social-fascists. In the North, we
have another phase of this attempt
to- split the working-class to the
detriment of the struggle against
unemployment and hunger. Here
the attack is conferred on the for
eign-born workers. And among the
most active of the boss tools carry
ing out this maneuver are the Ne
gro refornists.

cities. these misleaders and betray-

in the Union. During the second
year at the colony all bans are
removed.
The colony has its own club,
little theatre, cinema, creches,
schools and other of the cultural
adjuncts so important in Russia
today. Vacations are a fortnight a
year on full pay, and the men go
away without guard or escort.
But don't they stay away" one
asked incredulously. "There are
not more than 8 to 10 per cent of
departures" answered the Ogpu
man, "about as many as the
escapes from an ordinary prison.
We never follow man. He will
either come back to us--most of
them door he will earn his liveli-
hood honestly somewhere, or he
will fall into a life of crime again,
and then he will have to go to

stealing again cannot return to
the colony, though a few who were
caught begged SO hard-and their
relatives begged for them-that
they were accepted a second time.
One man jumped out of the win

in order to run back to the colony.
In charge of the colony are.
seven paid instructors, three SOL
diers who have served in the active
army and know army discipline,
and three prisoners advanced from

ask the authorities advice about

with bothersome relatives, and
what girl to marry. as they might

The solution" of the Negro re-

white fascists in the South. Only

The conditions among the steel
workers are almost indescribabie.
When some of the organizers for
the Metal Workers Industrial
League visited the homes of steel
workers in Youngstown they re-
ported that actually no food was
to be found in most of the homes
visited. Children of steel workers
go to school hungry and in many
cases they can not even be sent to
school for lack of clothes. A steel
worker after being out of work
for over year was called to work
at the Youngstown Sheet and Tube
Co. and after working half a day
dropped dead. The workers in
looking into his lunch box found

result of the economic crisis. The
League is preparing to organize

ters and unite the wives and chill
dren of the workers in the coming
struggles in the steel industry.

would call breaches Of the peace),
drunkenness, stealing and "de-
partures."
The sentences inflicted are very
severe and sometimes the authori-
ties intervene to advise leniency,
but they never command. In seri-
Gus cases the commission asks that
the transgressor be removed from
the colony to prion, perhaps even
to have his sentence heightened.
(The maximum sentence allowed
in Russia for non-political offenses
is eight years-this for the crime
Of murder.) Punishments are
strict confinement to the room for
a period, abolition of all privileges
such as days off, use Of the club,
etc, and exclusion from society.
Social disapproval is a form of
punishment which plays a large
part in all institutions in Russia.

The law allows vodka to be sold;

to re-educate themselves, not
merely to be legislated into good

With 143 passengers aboard, main 1 " roundrtippers, the Canadian Ma tional Lines steamship Prince Rup- ert, Capt. Donald, arrived in port at 6 pm. Thursday and sailed for Skagway at II pm. It is due to return here at midnight Saturday and will remain in port until am.
 The voyagers on the Prince Rupert were largely Californians. In one party were 75 members of the Young Mems Institute of San Francisco headed by John Coult- hurst and Val Malkenbubr. Eight members of the Camera Club of California comprised another group.
 Forty-five of the Prince Rupert's passengers made the Mendenhall Glacier tour under almost ideal conditions. and returned to the ship enthusiastic over the trip. Many spent some time in the Alaska Museum and most of them made purchases at local curio shops.
 The steamer is scheduled to stay in port here about three hours southbound This is a courtesy ex- tended to the Young Mems Insti- tute delegation, to enable the mem bers to attend a special midnight service at the local Catholic Church.

to see the blanketwork oi farms and

from the air, with a Stinson cabin

about the valley throughout tne Gay
A. Mobley of Clover Field, Santa
Monica, manager in charge of the
passenger flights, said today that
his pilot will make flights about
the valley next Sunday and also on
the following Sunday
Possibility that his firm will es-
tablish passenger line between
Imperial Valley and Los Angeles
was expressed by Mobley today.
In speaking of the Sunday air.
plane rides, Mobley pointed out that
residents of the valley can get an
entirely different vision of their
country from the air than that
formed by automobile tours.
More of the valley can be seen
in five minutes in the air than in
an entire day of the highways, he
said.
Hops Sunday will take passengers
over every part of the valley, giving
them a comprehensive idea of what
this country looks like from the air.
