OUT TO DEPORT
FOREIGN BORN
Los Angeles Workers
Face Death in Home
Countries
Especial TO Daily Worker

10 ANGELES, Calif-The local
immigration authorities recommend
ed to the Department of Labor that
the "aliens" arrested during a raid in
Long Beach on January 18th be de-
ported to their fascist homelands at
the Governments expenses rather
be permitted to leave at their own
expense for some country of their
chaice not contiguous to the United
States.
Among the workers to be deported
are one Greek. East Indian and nine
Japanese working class fighters.
This steps was taken in definance
of the evidence conclusively showing
that if deported to their home coun-
tries, these foreign born workers face
long imprisonment and possible
death.
1t is clear that as part of its pre-
parations for imperialist war the
United States Government is inten-
styling the fascist campaign to sup
press the activities of militant work
ing class leaders by imprisoning them
and even demanding their death by
deporting them to fascist countries.

San Francisco, Cal.


Editor Of the Daily WORKER
seems to me that The full possibili-
ties of the uses Of Unemployment In
surance have not yet been uncovered.
Aside from its humanitarian aspects,
it would become powerful weapon
in maintaining strikes by preventing
scabbing by men suffering from
want.
And, as such valuable weapon
against strike breaking, 1t should be
accepted and endorsed by all union
labor men who have been defeated in
strikes by scabs Unemployment in
surance will make the scab market
hit rock-bottom and bust and so
make strikes effective.
The general public is ignorant OF
the philosophical background of the
Communist movement. Print more

from the deputy police commissioner
of Jamaica for a march around the
Miller shop on Monday. The cap
tain of the precinct reported to the
strikers that the permit was granted.
Two hours later, he notified them
that it would be granted only on
condition that they would not march
around the factory. 1T might cause
trouble" he said. "Yes," the strik-
ers replied, "the other workers might
come down on strike and tie up the
shop completely" The police, acting
as tools of the Miller concern, do not
want the workers to strike. They
are Walkers police, the bosses pol
ice, who everywhere operate against
the workers. denying them their
rights. Seeing. however. that the
workers we're determined to march
the captain later reversed his stand
and granted the permit.
"Also, at Endicott, N. Y, the shoe
workers of Endicott and johnson
went out on strike, and immediately
had against them the police and fire
department, The mayor threatened
to bring in the militia.
IF the bosses think they can COW
the workers by show of force, they
are mistaken Neither their dema-
gogy about sacrifices nor display of
force, will keep the workers from
fighting for decent conditions. If
the bosses and the police think they
can take away the rights of the
workers by denying them permits,
they are mistaken. The workers will
march, permit or not permit, and
this right they will get by organiza-
ton and struggle.
This act Of the police will con-
vince the workers more and mere of
the correctness of the program Of
the Communist Party. of the fight
against wage cuts, the fight for
workers rights. The workers will an
swer by more struggle and by piling
up big vote in the elections for the

Jimmy Walker, Beer and Prosperity

he is a good one.
Jimmy, however, cannot deceive the
Communist and the class conscious
workers, for we know that beer will
not bring back prosperity. If beer
would bring back property then Ger

re drinking millions of barrels Of
legal beer would be the most pros
porous countries in the world.

he belongs. His little hour of glory
is brief. Soon his despicable act will

dung heap where it belongs then
there will be peace and plent for all

To Reinstate Negro Worker
Last week the cleaners and dyers,
in a mass meeting of the union,
agreed that if any member were fried
for union membership, the plant in
which he was enjoyed would be
struck. The following day, a Negro
worker, Jess, was fired by the Paul
son and Dutch Cleaners and Dyers.
A one-day strike, in which Negro
workers living across the street par
ticipated in the picketing, resulted in
Paulsons calling for settlement. The
management agreed to all the de-
mands, reinStated Jess and paid full
wages for the days work lost. When
time came to sign the agreement
Monday, he backed out. Therefore
the strike was resumed today.

Last night the bosses invited
committee of the Union to come to
their conference. John Harvey, Trade
Union Unity League district secretary
accompanied the full executive COM
mittee of the Union, and was their
spokesman. Harvey stated that what
he said was not his opinion only but
the position Of the entire union,
when the bosses attempted to split
the union committee. Instead, the
unity of the bosses conference was
split when Harvey told them cate
gorically that the union had definitely
decided that no changes would be
made in the agreement and failure
to signit would mean strike on the
morrow. Three plants, the Sanitary,
the Century Cleaning and Dyeingn
and the West Penn broke away and
signed the agreement.
