Tucson, Ariz., Dec 19.-Re.
cent investigational work by
Robert A. Greene, instructor in
agricultural chemestry and as
sistant agricultural chemist st
the University of Arizona has
added to the store of agricultural
research knowledge in the state.
An examination of the effect
of burrowing rodents on the
desert soils in Arizona has re-
vealed the fact that these ami.
mails are a decidedly greater
benefit than harm in adding to
the fertility of the soil and in
creasing the Quantities of soluble
salts present in the soil. This
study has been printed in

assisted in this study by Charles
Reynard.
The Effect of Temperature
on Nitrogen Fixation BY Azoto

is an investigation to determine
the amount of nitrogen fixed by
these bateria in Arizona soils.
Mr.. Greene isolated seven cul
tares or species of bacteria
(oitrogen fxine) in Arizrna soils.
One of the conclusions was the
fact that the azotobacter are a
very important factor in main
tanning the nitrogen content OF
the soil. A special examination
of the adapta bility of The azoto
bacter method for determining
the fertility of Arizona soils
demonstrated the general con
clusion that it is not a definite
indicator of soil fertility in

REVISE METAL
UNION BOARD
Devote Attention to 3
Main Sections

NEW YORK.-The Metal Workers
Industrial Union, which has led a
number Of sharp, and in many cases
victorious, struggles in the novelty
section Of the industry here. has de-
cided on a new form Of organization
Hitherto there has been one Execu-
tive Board Of Is members for the
whole district. The organization
spreads over three fields: novelty
shops, and two others where the
shops have been so nearly closed
down during the depression that the
union has not made much impress
sion, but which are the most impor-
tant parts Of metal industry, never
theless. These are heavy metal
shops, making big machinery, ships,
etc; and the iron and bronze shops,
manufacturing building material.
Meetings, whether of the board or
membership, have tended TO become
general, or devoted entirely to light
industry. On such soil, bureaucracy
could get a good start.
The union has now decided to have
three executive boards in this dis
trict. each Of is members, drawing
new forces into leadership. and giving
each section OF the industry a chance
for natural growth.

Strikers Flogged

NEW YORK.-The b-Comnittee
of the Latin American Confederation
Of Labor received a letter from Cuba
yesterday, stating some facts on the
further intensification of the terror
unleashed by the Machado regime
supported by American imperialism.
The letter states:
1.-THE seventh of this month, on the
occasion of the 18th Anniversary of
the Russian Revolution, in the eve
ming, a demonstration was held in
the street near the Secretariat of
Sanitation. This demonstration was
attacked by the police, which fired
on the workers. The results were
to 8 wounded workers, some very
seriously, are near death.
Workers are being arrested daily
and deportations are in the order of
the day. The most savage methods
are utilized to terrorize workers by
the assassin Military Supervisor,
Lieutenant Pau, who has prisoners
whipped in his presence, prisoners
which are not only workers active in
the revolutionary movement, but any
worker disliked by his boss or that
has committed the most elemental
act.
Recently there was strike in a
mattress factory, and the Supervisor
made up his mind to end it in "a hours
by whipping any worker that refused
to obey his orders and Immediately
returned to work. In spite of this
many workers defied Paus' orders
and were whipped and sent to the
prison of Pincipe Castle.
1.-THE terror in Cuba Is being inten'
sified daily, nevertheless this does moi

MASS PRESSURE
BAILED BERKMAN
Mrs. Henderson Hits
Reformists' Lies

BOSTON, MASS, Nov, 13.-The
role Of mass pressure on Deportation
Doak and his Department Of Labor
in saving Edith Berkman from slow
death at the hands of the immigra-
ton authorities, was stressed in a
statement issued by Mrs. Jessica
Henderson, of the National Commit
tee for the Protection of Political
Prisoners.
Mrs. Henderson had interviewed
Doak In regard to posting bond for
Comrade Berkman. Her statement
gives a smashing answer to the in
sidious whispering campaign carried
on here by hangers-on of the Amer
lean Civil Liberties Union against
mass protest and mass defense for
political prisoners. Mrs. Henderson's
statement follows:
"Doak's secretary told me-" she
said, THAT more than 500 kilograms
had come IN to him, demanding Ed
this release. 1t seemed as though
everyone, all sorts of people, all over
the country, we're pleading and de-
manding for the life of this GIRL he
said.
From the conversation it is OBJ
vious that only the mass pressure
policy of the International Labor De-
Tense applied to the Secretary of
Labor, won the fight for Berkman's
life"
Berkman is now is the Carroll
Sanitorium, in Rutland, Mass. free

Dressmakers' Unemployed Council, by
militant picketing, yesterday forced
the Gibson Red Cross Committee, 10
Pine Street, to confer today with
representatives of the council on ihe

Gil demands that the work of making

employed Council.
The delegation protested against
the present reported arrangement
whereby this work viii be given out
by the top leadership Of the Anal
gamated Clothing workers and the
International Ladies Garment Work
ers Union. The work, thus allotted,
will not be distributed without dis
elimination among the tobless, be-
cause most Of the unemployed have

PROVE DELUCCA
DID JAIL FORD
Magistrate Tries to Es-
cape Blame Now

NEW YORK-When a strong dele
cation of workers went up to the
house Of Magistrate George De Luca
to protest his railroading John Ford,
Negro worker, to year in the re-
formatory for merely taking a pic
ture of the Jim Grow bathing pool in
the Bronx heavy detachments of po-
lice kept them back.
Immediately afterward, however,
the Communist Party, Section IS, in
the Bronx, got letter from De Luca
in which he says:
After the trial before me. in Which
Ford was found guilty, he was given
a suspended sentence and was not
sentenced to one years imprison-
ment. His subsequent jail SEN
tence in some other proceeding and
by another tribunal, OF which I have
no knowledge except as I have been
informed in prior communication
from one of your group, should not
be confused with the trial had before
me-"
Which all sounds fair enough, ex-
CepC--
The workers charge that De Lucas
knew that Ford was on probation and
that a suspended sentence would
place him back behind the bars just
as surely as an outright Jail sentence,
and Furthermore: Why is it crime
to take photograph of Jim Crow
bathing pool?
There have been many demonstra-
tons before this pool in the attempt
to smash the discrimination against
Negroes, but, as it happens, John
Ford was not arrested at nor tried
for any of these. He was arrested
when there was no demonstration,
and his "crime" was that he was OBJ

PUSH FIGHT FOR
SCOTTSBORO 9
Detroit Workers Hail
Partial Victory

DETROIT, Nov. 14-Four hundred
Negro and white workers and synpa-
thizers met in the Turtle Greek High
School auditorium Friday night to
celebrate the tremendous partial VIC
tory achieved by mass pressure in
the Scottsboro case and to prepare
the struggle for complete victory with
the unconditional release OF the nine
Scottsboro victims Of capitalist JUS
tice.
William L. Patterson, general sec
rotary of the International Labor
Defense, was the main speaker. and
pointed out that the case of the
workers, Orloff-Opeck, is insep-
arably linked with Scottsboro as part
of the program Of terror of the bosses
aimed to crush the rising struggles
of the working class against starva-
ton and imperialist war. Patterson
stressed the Importance of further
building the mass defense campaign,
Of persistent exposure Of the treach-
erous attempts to disrupt the mass
defense by the Negro reformists and
Socialist Party leadership. He de-
clared that only greater unity Of
Negro and white workers guarantees
complete victory.
The meeting unanimously endorsed
the I. L. d. program of mass defense.
CINCINNATI, O., Nov, 13.--Since
the decision Of the U. s. Supreme
Court returning the Scottsboro boys
to the Alabama coutrs for re-trial,
the local capitalist press is fever
ishly trying to cover up the role of
mass pressure in achieving this VIC
tory. These newspapers which in the
past consistently barred from their
columns ell news ofthe Scottsboro
defense campaign are now engaging
in flood of hypocritical praise of
the equity and "impartiality" of
the U. S. Supreme Court.
The local press, however, is silent
on the frame-up Of Louis Clayton,
Negro worker of this city, and on the
refusal of the local courts to punish
the police thug who -bloodedly
murdered John Goryes, another Ne
gro worker.
