ultimatum, the workers declared the
shop on strike under the leadership
of the Knitgoods Department of the

of the Soviet Union and the

lion workers demonstrated
throughout the United States on
May Day. In many cities they de-
fed brutal police terrorism which
sought to deny them the rights Of
free speech and assemblage. In New
York City, fully 10000 poured into
the streets in spite of a torrentiail
downpour. In Detroit over 100000
were in the demonstration. Through
out the world, millions more marched
in iron international solidarity be-
tween the red banners of the world
Communist Party.
Negro and young workers and wo-
men workers played an important
part in the demonstrations in the
United States. An important role
was also played by the ex-service-
men, workers who had been thrown
rialist war and who have now been
into the bloody welter of the impe-
sentenced TO starvation BY grateful
capitalism which even denies them
their back Wages-the cash bonus. In
most of the May Day demonstrations
these disillusioned workers were prop
erly in the front ranks of the probe
tartan front.
In all Of the demonstrations in this
and other countries, the workers mill
family raised the fight against I'M
periaIst war and for the demands for
the unconditional release of the nine
Scottsboro Negro boys, of Tom
Mooney, Edith Berknan and all class
war prisoners held in the dungeons OF
dying capitalism. In the United
States, this May Day saw May First
demonstrations for the first time in
many cities, including a number of
Southern cities where, as in the
North, Negro and white workers
marched side by side in splendid SOL
idarity and militant defiance Of the
laws and dictuns by which the white
ruling class seeks to split the ranks
Of the working class and weaken its

ings effected by the proposed modi-
fication of the Tucson Nogales con-
tract be passed on in the form of
lower rates to the people of Nogales
and Santa Cruz County. This order
of the Corporation Commission, as
we all know, is now being held up in
the courts.
eff a favorable decision is rend-
cred to your company, you will, nat
urally, Immediately effect further
decreases in rates as provided for
in this order which will aggregate
some $10,33178 annually. Since the
rendering of this decision we know
that you have likewise impounded
the difference IN rates, which will
eventually become a credit to al of
the consumers affected.
Under the new rate schedule an
nounced you have effected the
Residential Combination" rates as
set up with reference to this March
7th decision of the Arizona Corpora
ton Commission. In the matter OF
the Commercial Lighting" rates we
note that you have set up rate
which will result in approximately
half of the saving as proposed Or
iginally, and it is our belief that you
are. naturally, impounding the diff
ference between this rate and the
rates called for in the decision of
March 7th.
1--WE note that there has been no
reduction whatever made in the mat
ter of Commercial Power. 1t is,
therefore, our assumption that you
are also in this case impounding the
difference between the rates now

charged and the rates called for in
the decision of March 7th.
Further, we note that the alloca-
ton of $500 to the Baca Float in
irrigation power is likewise being
held in allegiance.
ITO make ourselves clear in this
matter it is our opinion that, in
spite of the voluntary reduction
which you have made, that there is
now impounded large amount OF
money to the Residential Combin-
alton consumers from March 7th
to September GOTH Also that there
is this same condition existing with
regard to Commercial Lighting
consumers, and that a further i'm
pounding of the difference between
the rates voluntarily given by you
and the proposed rates will be made.
In the case of Commercial Power"
in which no reduction whatever has
been voluntarily made. we likewise
assume that you are impounding
the difference in these rates as you
will also be doing with regard to
the Baca Float irrigation power.
