GETTING CONVICTIONS

CINCE the first of the year, five murder
y cases have been tried in Imperial
county, resulting in one plea of guilty
with a sentence of life Imprisonment be-
ing imposed; one conviction of first de-
gree murder; one of second degree and
two of manslaughter.
Citizens generally will be satisfied with
the results obtained, although some may
feel disgruntled that all five men were
not given the death penalty.
Five cases with five convictions is
rather unusual in Imperial county where
juries are VIGOROUSLY lenient in allow
ing their personal sympathies and preiu-
dices TO be confused with their sense of
duty.
Credit for this showing must be ac-
corded to District Attorney Heald and
his deputies. When it is considered that
these five cases had to be prepared and
tried with a limited staff and in addition
to all the other less serious cases handled
by the office, the record made is highly
satisfactory
So far as the county is concerned, it
has done its duty in furnishing those who
take the law into their own hands. From
now on the punishment is up to the state,
though county officials can recommend
length of punishment and advise of cir
cumstances which should govern it.
Of course the district attorney has only
done his duty, but a newspaper should
be as quick to commend a public official
for work we'll done as it is to criticize
when the contrary is true.
Mr. Heald and his assistants are en-
titled to know that the general public ap-
preciates their conscientious and earnest
efforts to support the cause of law and
order in Imperial county.
Well, we're off the gold standard, and
somehow life doesn't seem to have
changed much. Most of us have been off
it for years.

was exposed was proven fully justi-
fled by the reports,
Much of the discussion dealt with
the questions of the right Of the
workers to organize, the forcing of
the workers into company unions by
the employers, and the activity of
the A, +. of l.. unions. Numerous
examples Of workers being forced
to join company unions were given
as we'll as the ability Of the workers
to defeat the bosses attempts to
elect their agents as the workers re-
representatives.. In many cases, as in
the Atlas cement, in mining towns
the workers elected their own lists
in opposition to the company. Fur
thermore in some cases the workers
defeated completely the attempt of
the bosses to drive them into COM
pany unions. How far this resist
ance to company unions is develop
ing among the workers is seen from
the recent developments in the steel
industry where the workers in Mi
chigan and Gary plants defeated the
company union.

that these workers are not yet a

NEW YORK.-One of the most
important meetings of the National
Executive Board of the Trade Union
Unity League took place here on
July II. Active workers from the
steel, marine, mining, railroad, tex
tile, auto, needle, food, shoe, and
practically all other important in
dustries were present. The main
point on the agenda was a discus
sion of the Recovery Act, its menace
to the masses, and especially how to
fight against this attack. Comrade
Jack Stachel, acting secretary of the
Trade Union Unity League, opened
the discussion on this question which
was followed by reports by Frank
Borich, National Secretary of the
National Miners Union, Nat Kaplan,
National Organizer of the National
Textile Workers Union, John Mel
don, National Secretary of the Steel
and Metal Workers Industrial I'm
ion, Sam Nessin, for the Building
Trades Workers, representative of
the Railroad Brotherhood Unity
Movement and Irving Potash for the
Needle Trades Workers Industrial
Union. June Croll made special

Recovery Act Exposed
From the reports and discussion
in which many Of the delegates par
ticipated the vicious anti-working-
class character of the National IN
dustrial Recovery Law became clear
from the attacks already being made
by the employers. 1t was clearly
brought out that the minimum wage
proposals are not only being used
to depress wages down to a COM
mon low level but also that the EN-
ployers are finding plenty of loop
holes to evade even this minimum
wage. At the Endicott johnson shoe
shops the bosses are firing all work
ers who can not make S12 per week
on the present piece work rates.
Thus the minimum wage is used to
speed up and to discourage workers.
The textile bosses are introducing
and extenang the stretch-out sys-
TEN which represents a further
heavy slash on the earnings of the
workers and driving out many from
the industry. The code presented
by the National Textile Workers
Union in which the Recovery Act

men, reminding them, The Sales tax
amounts to q cut in the wages of

The cases brought to City Hall yes

the appalling conditions in the city.

Single men and women especially
suffer because relief is denied them.
A Negro worker, Jack Feiner, 234 FL

He is SICK and paralyzed, but forced
to live on food from the garbage can.
The Unemployed Councils, in a
statement issued yesterd ny, repeat
"the promises of Mayor O'Brien and
all city officials are cheap gestures.
Their actions in starving the unem-
ployed is convincing proof that they
will not act unless forced by the
pressure of the workers" Go to

leave until relief is given" it con-
tinues. I'VE must and can force the
