MEXICAN EXILES
FACING DEATH
White Terror Victim
Sends Appeal Here

NEW YORK, Dec. 18-Evelio M
Vadillo, victim of white terror in
Mexico, who was recently rescued
from exile on the Las Marias Islands
through mass pressure of the re-
yolutionary toilers and students
writes a letter to the Daily Worker
appealing to the workers in this
country in behalf Of 80 class war
prisoners virtually condemned to
death on the Las Marias Islands.
Attack Red Unions
After describing the brutal white
terror against the toilers Of Mexico
which, however, did not prevent the
present militant revolt Of agrarians
in Vera Cruz, the letter states in
part;
we we're taken into custody
during the raids on and the sup
preston of the Red Trade Union
Center which the Mexican govern
ment carried out on June oath as
part of its attempt to intimidate and
stifle the indignation Of the workers
and poor peasants who demand
bread, work and liberty"
Our number was increased when
on September 5th the warship Ma
zatlan" in a special trip to the Las
Marias Islands brought 81 other
workers and peasants from the State
of Puebla where they participated in
the struggle against the hunger and
misery that afflict the region"
Appeals for Solidarity
Describing the unbearable and
deadly conditions existing on the Las
MariaS Islands which he calls the
siberia OF the new Cars that rule
Mexico" Vadillo appeals for a united
struggle to save his comrades.
"Only the working class of Mexico
united with their exploited class
brothers in the United States can
constitute the real and powerful
united front that will be able to
Illustrate the criminal plans of the
urgeois-landlord regime"
I'm the name of our 80 comrades"
concludes the letter, who remain
imprisoned in the Las MariaS Islands,
I invite the workers and anti-im-
perialists of the United States to par
ticipate actively in the campaign to
save them"

Union and Councils
There was much discussion before
the policy Of the union on the unem-
ployed question was clearly under
stood. Failure to properly organize
the Unemployed Councils as united
front, delegated bodies, but to make
of them instead loose. membership"
organizations without either mem
bership cards or dues) led to the
question: why recruit both into the
Unemployed Councils and the union
won't that confuse the workers."
The false separation between "unem-
ployed work" and union work was
glaringly seen when District Com
mittee member of the union, who has
been assigned to do most of his work
among the unemployed, building up
the united front unemployed coun-
Gil. declared that the union had no
program to interest the unemployed
workers and spoke against calling of
joint meetings by the union and the
Unemployed Council, and also against
recruiting steel workers into the
union at these meetings.
Finally after thorough discussion
the following program was adopted:
Cd joint meetings, 20 speakers from
the Unemployed Council and union,
90 utilizing Of meetings to elect I'M
employed committees or to broaden
existing committees, "a organization
(if possible) of squads to organ
ize meetings in the neighbor-

rectly into the union, 90 organiza-
ton of the unemployed steel workers

FORCED LABOR IN INDIANA

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.-The jobless
on community relief are going to be
let out to contractors to work for
their bread and lodging. If they re-
fuse they will be cut off from the
lists. If that isn't peonage, I don't
know what to call it.
When this city started paying the
workers with basket of grub said
it was the entering wedge for such
action by the bosses. AT this present
rate of progress, it won't be long
until we will be put on the human
auction block.
There is nothing which the present
administration In Washington would
allow to come between it and It's
purpose to keep the common people

son TO hope that the incoming adj
ministration will be any better. Our
only hope hes in the overthrow Of

Cicero Relief Head
Gets Slapped; Is
Forced to Shell Out

cicero, III.
Miss Ginsberg, supervisor of the
Cicero. Emergency Relief, got her
face well slapped last week by a
small italian woman. The gas and
electricity of this family had been
shut off. They we're facing eviction,
and they had used up all they were
allowed by the Cicero budget. The
woman took her several children to
the relief station, and Miss Gins
berg told her to get out, and that
she could do nothing for her.
After the slapping, however, which
was heartily applauded by all the
workers present, the woman and her
seven children were placed in an
automobile and driven home in style.
They received a Sc supplementary
grocery order. Their gas was turned
on. Half their rent was paid, and
workers referred them to the Unem-
ployed Council as the only power
which could obtain electricity for
them. The Unemployed Council sue
ceeded, and lived up to its reputation.

REVOLT AMONG
STONE MAS0NS
President Steals Local
Elections

NEW YORK.-Mazzalo g. Co, Of
ficials Of Local No. 10 Of the Stone
NIasons deliberately stole the election
in the local, Dec. 10th.
This local union is composed of
highly skilled stone nasons who have
in the past suffered terrifically from
the misrule of the officials prevailing
in office.
In spite OF the fact that the off
cial scale Of wages is at present 1890
per day, no worker receives more
than Sc per day. In spite Of the
many complaints lodged with the
union officials by the workers, no
steps are being taken to enforce the
union scale of wages and conditions
on the job.
Threat To Suspend Jobless
Added to that, the major portion
Of the membership is at present IN
employed, and is being threatened
with expulsion from the union be-
cause of inability to pay dues.
All these conditions arouse the
membership TO such an extent that
when a score of rank and file called
a mass meeting to discuss problems
of the union, close to 400 workers ap-
peared at the italian Workers Center,
Second Ave, and 115th st. out Of the
total local union membership Of $50.
At this meeting the workers Solidly
voted for a selected slate Of workers
candidates for union office and sub
mitted it to the local Union to be
placed on the ballot.
Gangster Menace
Mazzola organized gangsterS that
visited the homes of every worker,
threatening that if they do not vote
for Nazzola and Co. their faces would
be slashed.
Notwithstanding these threats over
400 workers appeared at the polls on
Saturday and voted decisively in
favor of the rank and file group,
However, Mazzola, as Union president
voided almost one-third Of the rank
and file vote on small technicalities
In spite of this deliberate steel, the
rank and file group was able, due
to the mass vote in its favor, to OBJ
tain four offices in the Union. The
workers are so aroused by this steal
that they will demand at the next
membership meeting the impeach-
ment of these scandalouS officials.

spondents member who was dele
gate to the Hunger March in Wash.
ington, reported. In a short talk he
gave his impressions during the
march-the terroristic treatment by
the police, and the courage and dis
cipline of the marchers.
The workers listened with deepest
interest. When asked his own re-
action, he answered that the march
brought him much closer to the rev.
dictionary movement and he will de-
vote much more energy to help or
ganize the masses.
His report showed that when the
worker is himself involved in q
struggle, his report is lively and in
teresting. Other groups in the coun-
try should send in reports of theil
activities.

Fish Stories

CERTAIN bright gems of logic,
v plucked from the body of Hamil-
ton Fish's discourse are herewith set
down, in the hope that they will be
as amusing to Daily Worker readers
as they were to the crowd in Mecca
Temple on Friday.
'"This isn't the first depression, and
it won't be the last, Through sound
American principles we will emerge
as we did in the past" Crowd yells,
"How?").
It'll tell you how. I'm not worried
The American people, led on by the
big bankers, gambled and speculated,
and the securities sold led to over
production of factories and overprO-
duction of real estate. (CT en-
phasis D. W..
We've got to shorten the hours;
stand for the five hour day and
five day week" Crowd shouts: "How
about wages"?)
I'm the meantime wages will be
lower" Crowd: "A-a-ah'O.
'"The best way to destroy Com
munism is to let it's principles be
known. Communism stands for
destroying all religion and teaching
hatred Of god. Crowd cheers.
1T stands for sabotage and riots
all over the world" Crowd laughs).
1T stands for dictatorship of the
proletariat." Crowd applauds).
What don't like is these march
es and demonstrations"
Socialism or Communism might
have been all right in Germany sin
1848, where strikes were Illegal, but
not in free America, where we have
the SolmdeSt, fairest, wiseSt, most
honorable government, and the best
ever devised by the mind of man"
THE reason loathe Communism
is becaueS 1 loathe all forms of inter
ference with the rights of the people.
The Soviet Government took away
even the right to worship god from
120,000,000 people.
Waller Duranty is the greatest
Communist propaganda in the
world"
IF my program had been accepted
We could have avoided all the misery
of depression. Under state laws,
every worker would have life, acct
dent, retirement and pension insur-
ance. But I'm opposed to unemploy-
ment insurance, because it becomes
the football of politics"
1.-THE rich man is just like the poor
man, eventually both must die"
Capitalism is better because it is
the system of all the countries of
the world outside Of Soviet Russia. +"
THE Czarist government was over
thrown by the Duma and liberals
and Socialists; the German govern
ment with whom we were at war,
sent Lenin into Russia to overthrow
the first democratic government they
ever had"
Every American has the right OF
revolution, guaranteed in the Dec
laration of Independence, but we
can't have any revolutions made in

trigues in y. C.
sault ste. Marie, Mich

Sault Ste. Marie, Mlch.
Here is more about the Unenploy-
ed Council that we are making into
a fighting organization after the
democratic organizers sold us out.
At a meeting on Nov. 20 about 30
of the 700 jobless in this town at
tended. The president opened up
with talk about selling tickets for
shows, dances, etc. The members
showed their disgust and demanded
that the real issues facing hungry
people be brought up. Several work.
ers on the county relief then took the
floor and told about feeding their
babies canned milk and of other
starvation conditions here.
Now the former Communist can
didates took the floor and pointed
out the necessity of organizing a
strong unemployed council and 60
ing to the county and city officials
and demanding work or more relief.
This idea was taken up and met
with the approval of every jobless
worker at the meeting.
A worker suggested that we put
Comrade Blume on the committee.
Comrade Blume is the Communist
candidate who was previously elect
ed to the committee and then put
off by democratic politicians. This
was put to q vote and 70 of the
workers voted for him.
IT was then voted on to repeal
the bylaw barring Communists from
the organization. Every worker voted
for this repeal. Plans are being made
for demonstration at the city hall
or county court house. G. G.

they didn't know what they were
going to do about the cut they eX-
pect next month.
We have no Union here for all
glove and leather workers. They
have only cutters and that is no good.
The boss cuts them, they call the
members together and talk. The big
shots never help to get more wages.
The workers here are lost; no leaders
to get a good union started. But l
think it would be a good time next
month, when they are out of work,
to organize them into some kind of
union, not one craft only, but all
leather workers together.
EDITORS NOTE-To wait till next
month before organizing these work
ers would be fatal The workers
there must begin organization at
once into united front of employed
and unemployed.
The form of this organization
should be joint committees Of action
of those already laid off, those being
laid Off, and those still on tne Jop,
around each shop with the following
program of struggle:
Against wage-cuts and lay-offs,
2-Winter relief of 5000 for all
laid off and unemployed at the ex-
pense of the city authorities and the
bosses.
3-Demands for those being laid
off, for or weeks full pay in cash
at the expense Of the employers.
If the organization of these conf
mites Of action is begun Immediately
before the cuts take place, and while
the lay-offs are proceeding and if
these committees are maintained you
will be laying the basis for a strong
Union and a strong Unemployed
Council, fighting for Unemployment
Insurance.
