First of all. in capitalist America
the coal miners have to work from
eight to twelve hours day. In the
Soviet Union, we work six hours a day
from bank to bank and not from
face to face.
EDITORS NOTE-"From bank to
bank" means from the time the min
er starts from the entrance of the
mine to the time he returns to the
entrance. From face to face" means
from time he actually starts digging
to the time he stops digging.
go to work in the mornig in
mine No. 4, Paris Commune. We
start to go into the mine at six in
the morning and are outside at IL
o'clock, and go to the wash-house
to wash ourselves. In the Soviet
Union there is a wash-house in every
mine, free. F.
To Get 20 Per Cent Raise
I work on cutting machine, cut
ting coal. My wage is 10 rubles for
six hours, and easy work. The coal
leaders get roubles for six hours.
We will soon get 20 per cent in
crease in wages.
American coal miners, what are
you going to get before the year 1882
is over? A 20 per cent wage cut. We
work every day. That means we work
four days, and the fifth day is a
rest day.
In America, where the miner has
luck enough to have job, he has
to clean slate for nothing. Here it
is different. When miner goes into
the mine, he gets his wages, regardless
of what happens.
like to work fast, as we do in
America. The Russian coal miners
tell me to go easy; this is not Amer
lea; this is Soviet Russia. We have
no capitalist here to keep us going, no
boss to speed us up. Everything you
see in Russia is our property, and
yours too-that is, the workers pro-
perty. So we do not have to work
hard. We are enjoing the fruits OF
the October Bolshevik Revolution,
which gave us all.
Good Houses
On the question of the housing
we have good houses, all brick houses
built from new models. Most Of them
are bungalows with four big rooms,
with electricity and water. There is
no gas, so we use coal. We have
big gardens around the houses.
And for all this we pay s roubles
a month, including everything. Six
rubles. In capitalist America you
have to pay $50 for house like
this. Also, we get our working cloth
es free. For myself and my family,
get four rooms in bungalow house.
1t is a new house, not yet finished,
but it will be ready by September
1st When my family comes here
the house will be ready. They are
building many new houses.
Free Medical Care
Now what about you in the rich
capitalist America? What do you
get? No house, band conditions, no
food. In the Soviet Union we have
houses, good conditions, and food.
Also, in the Soviet Uion the miners
have one month year vacation,
with full pay. 1t miner is hurt in
a mine. he gets his full pay. 1t you
get sick, you get paid and get free
doctors.
What do you get in the capitalist
American If you are hurt, you get
a o-called compensation--a few dol

bankruptcy of the reactionary policies
and the corrupt apparatus in the
Brotherhood of Carpenters Union is
now revealed in its full nakedness.
This apparatus is built on a basis of
high salaried officials, paid commit
tees, consequently high dues and as
sessments and high initiation fee.
Now, when rs per cent of the mem
bers are totally unemployed, others
working part time. members are I'M
able to pay their dues and are drop
ping from the union in alarming
numbers, local unions are behind with
their per-capita tax and are on the
eve of bankruptcy. There is no long,
er any semblance of union control
on the job or union conditions. When
the militant Locals 1890 and 1854
showed a willingness to resist that
attack of the bosses in the shops,
they were openly warned by the dis
trict council that the district coun-
Gil will prevent them.
Unorganized Army Grows
And meanwhile the army of I'M
organized in New York City swelled
to close to 10 per cent giving the
bosses more opportunities to further
undermine our working conditions.
The best that remains under such
circumstances is to organize these I'M
organized carpenters into an indie
pendent organization based on strug-
giles.
An theological campaign will also
have to be developed among the
membership in the New York district
of the Brotherhood of carpenters
union, that any strike, any struggle
that the carpenters who are outside
of the Brotherhood conduct against
the bosses is also in the interest of
the membership in the Brotherhood
that taking the place of a strike is
plain scabbery, that only by working
class solidarity can there be united

RIO DE JANEIRO, Aug. 30.-The
federal government of Getulio Var

forces of the San Paul State must
lay down their arms before any

This caused a peace mission sched-

The federal government decided to
postpone the general offensive

Joe PalOOka Has
First Birthday

In the hurry and hustle of the
fair and election last week, the
birthday of one of the most pop
ular members of The Press family
was overlooked.
On February 9, Joe Palooka OBJ
served his first anniversary as a
member of The Press comic page.
Starting out more or less an un-
known to Press readers, Joe has
succeeded in building up quite a
bunch of followers who think he is
a pretty good sort of guy. Nearly
all who feel this way about Joe
believe that his manager, "Knobby'
Walsh, is an egg"
Joe's ups and downs in the box
ing ring and in romance, are closely
followed by Press readers. Just
how closely we are not able to say,
but judging from the way the staff
has fallen for Joe, we believe the
readers feel pretty we'll about him.
If any readers have any sug-
gestions to make about Joe, good
or bad, The Press will be pleased
to hear them. Letters concerning
Joe should be addressed to Joe
Palooka, care of Imperial Valley
Press, El Centro, Calf"
Suggestions will be forwarded to
Ham Fisher, creator OF Joe.

LEGISLATIVE ACT NEEDED TO
CHANGE STATE ROAD ROUTING

El Centrzo will not be eliminat-
ed from the state primary high
way system. according to the Ell
Centro Chamber of Commerce in
a statement issued today. The
chamber has had many inquiries,
it is stated. through the publica-
ton in several Imperial Valley pa
pers of a story to the effect that
the state expected to build a road
from Brawley to Holtyille.
The highway commission in FL
Centro last week listened to the
recommendation proposed by Braw-
ley representatives and made their
usual rference of the matter to
the state engineer for reconnais-
sance, survey and report. This is the
commissions way of handling all
such matters and further action
is based on the engineers report.
The obstacle, however, lies in the
state legislative act which provides
that the construction of the pri-
mary highway system provide a
road from Indio, via Brawley and
Ell Centro. There is no provision
for any diversion of such a road
to eliminate either of these cities.
Such a change and such a new
road would require an act OF the
state legislature and is not likely
to receive enthusiastic statewide
support. So for a long time high
way traffic will probably continue
to be routed through Brawley and
FL Centro, the chamber states.
The chamber has, however, ac-
cording to the staff, made applica-
ton to the state highway commits
sion that the road between Imperial
and Westmorland be shortened by
the construction of short cut near
the Bulls or Timpkin ranch. This
would save between two and three
miles to all through traffic ano

on the highway commission that

highway commission that. if any
changes were made in the align

ment of any of their roads III I'm"
perial county. this change should
be the first considered as it is un-
doubtedly the one of most import
ance and which would mean the
greatest saving of time and delay
to through traffic. A formal order
was entered by the commission in
structing the state highway engi-
neering department to make recon-
naissance and investigation of the
additional road proposed by the Ell
Centro chamber.
The local chamber wishes to al
lay any fears that El Centre is
to be eliminated from its place
on the through state route, and
has assured the many inquirers at
the chamber that no such inten-
ton exists and that the routing of
such a change in mind can only
come through an act of the state
legislature.
The primary road system of the
state was originally planned to
connect county seats and there is,
of course, no warrant of law for
eliminating the county seat from
the system of roads which was de-
signed primarily to connect all
the county seats of the state.
The chamber of commerce of Ell
Centro has adopted policy of fur
thering all roads which promise to
help the development of the COM
munity. 1t has expended particu-
lar effort towards the construction
of the Imperial Highway which
would extend from Coyote Wells to
Corona and thence westwards and
to the Brawley- -Calipatria- -Niland-
Chuckawalla Wells short cut which
would give San Diego and Imper-
ial Valley motorists an opportunity
to make use of the newly paved
Los Angeles s-Brawley- Phoenix road
when travelling eastward.

cussed at the meeting of the agri-
cultural commissioners of the u
southern counties which was held

Quote Me-
UNITED Press


WASHINGTON, FEB. l6. - The
house appropriations committee
subcommittee listened to a half
million words of testimony in
order to prepare the latest of the
annual appropriations of the state,
commerce, justice and labor de-
partments during the next fiscal
year.
The justice department took the
most testimony, 100000 words. The
labor department, as usual, got the
least space, only about 10000 words.
But one learns from what the
labor department told the COM
mittee in pleading for its money,
that the department expects to
deport 10000 aliens during the
next fiscal year. That is just
about the number it deported dur
ing 1881. 1t cost about $l00 apiece
to deport a criminal alien. Figures
on the cost of deporting non
criminal aliens were not given.
The department is making Gal
weston, Tex, sort of clearing
house for deportations because it
can get cheaper water rates to
foreign points out of Galveston.
The department spends a lot of
effort studying the cheapest means
of travel, and aliens who are de-
ported go the cheapest way.
A lot of aliens are leaving VOL
UNFAIRLY. More than 100000 in that
class crossed the Mexican border
last year. The department has no
way of knowing how many went
back voluntarily to their native
lands through other outlets.
The bureau of naturalization, the
testimony reveals, is money
making institution. 1t cost $1,149,-
O2O in the last fiscal year and took
in $3,117, ,183-a handsome profit
on new citizens. The receipts were
in fees.
But citizenship, like so many
other things, has become involved
in racketeering The department
believes there is an organized
scheme among certain groups to
get naturalization papers for aliens
illegally. They pick out names OF
people who have come into the
country legally and would be en-
titled to citizenship and apply for
citizenship under those names.

yesterday afternoon when two
prisoners were released from the

Reject All Bids for
EmmOnS Courthouse

Emmons county commissioners
Wednesday rejected all bids on a
combined courthouse and memorial
building and decided to submit to the
electors on November 8 a proposal to
issue $4,000 worth of bonds to fl
nance the structure.
It had been the original intention
to plan for an $4,000 building now
but to construct only as much as the
funds on hand would pay for, leaving
the rest until later. The county has
approximately $4,000 in cash, of
which $4,000 is in the World War
memorial fund and $4,000 in the
general fund.
Objection by World War veterans
to spending the money for this pur-
pose, however. and q counter proposal
that the entire structure be built now.
led to the bond issue proposal.
Although the lowest bid received
on the proposed complete structure
was SOL 300, it was said by Ira l..
Rush, architect OF Bismarck and Mi
not, that alterations could easily be
made so as to erect the structure for
$4,000.
The county has no outstanding in
debtedness now, he said.

BurIeigh Citizens to Vote OF

Burleigll county voters will ballot
November 8 on the question Of wheth-

-doned or retained.
Decision on this point was made
Thursday by county commissioners
who ordered the measure placed on
the ballot by vote of four to one.
Commissioners Swanson, Solder, Fricke
and MOynier supported the motion
while Chairman George F. Will cast
the lone opposing vote.
Action followed arguments by L. ].
Wehe, representing the petitioners,
and H. F.. O'Hare, who appeared for
County Agent H. o. Putnam, and E. J.
Parizek, assistant county agent leader
from the state agricultural college
at Fargo.
The latter claimed that the petit
ton was insufficient for lack Of legal
signers and presented Q counter petit
ton which asked that the issue be
kept off the ballot. The latter was
signed by 248 names and it was alleged
that those signing the second petition
also signed the first. In addition 148
names were challenged as being i'm
properly signed or having been signed
by non-voterS.
Under the law petitions for a vote
on continuing county agent work must
contain the signatures of 20 per cent
Of the persons who cast votes for gov
ernor at the last preceding election.
Since the total vote for governor In

necessary. The petition as filed con-
tanned 1884 names.

War Debt Revision
Is Key, Says Farmer

New York, Oct. 6.-(P-A new deal
on what he described as the "pesky
war debts" was held by G. G. Isely,
merchant farmer Of Dodge City,
Kan, to be the preferred road of the
wheat farmer to economic improve
ment.
Having presented this view to q
group representing the committee for
the study Of intergovernmental debts,
1sely delayed his return to the wheat
belt long enough Thursday to tell
some Of the details.
He expressed his belief that the q.
s. ought to give Europe credit Of
from $40 to $50 on the debts every
time foreign country buys 500
worth Of wheat, meat or cotton from
America.
While he himself is q member Of
the intergovernmental debts COM
mittee. he said his views are his own
and those Of the wheat farmers who
support the Wheat Belt Intelligence
committee, which he organized.
Debt revision, he said, sis the way
to get back to prosperity and to good
times"
