Attacks on Strikers
in Imperial Valley
Relief Urgent AS Strike
Lines Hold Intact
Despite Arrests

BRAWLEY, Cal.-Sheriff Campbell
wired Governor Rolph today de-
manding that troops be called out to
crush the strike of the Imperial VAL
ley agricultural workers. The local
press is bowling for lynch terror
against the strike leaders, and the
American Legion has modified to
guard the fields. But the strikers
are militant and fearless.
Police shot and wounded a woman
striker and jailed two children aged
8 and 10 years respectively. One
hundred and eighty strikers are now
under arrest with 80 being held in
jail. One thousand workers went to
the rescue of the wounded woman
striker.
All cars entering the strike area
are being stopped and police are ar
resting the drivers. Five hundred
picketers were stopped two miles
south of Brawley and police attempt
ed to arrest all of them.
The first truck load of relief ar
rived here today from San Diego

WagnerP uShes Plan

Anti-Strike Powers
Would Set Up Industrial
Courts to Make All
Decisions

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. H.
A move to strengthen the strike
breaking powers of the government
was launched by Senator Wagner of
the National Labor Board when Wag-
ner announced that he is laying plans
for the transformation of the Labor
Board into permanent nationwide
system Of courts.
The courts, according to Wagners
plan, would have power to render de-
cisionS with full authority Of law,
thus robbing the workers Of their
right to strike and organize.
The courts would also be given
power to subpoena and swear wit
nesses and make investigation. Wag-
ner is comforting with officials of the
A. F. OF L. regarding this plan.

Delegates Help

WORKERS STARVING
Hearst Preparing Fascist
Union Attack
BY HARRY CANNES

NEW York.-After reading
the first racketeering expose in
the Daily Worker, dozens of
workers came to the office with
tales of huge grating in building
construction, in the painters local,
in the garment industry Qnvolving
IL.G.W.U. yellow oficialS), and the
particularly vicious racket of the
beauticians and hairdreSsers schools,
unions" and employment agencies
I'VE read the story on graft at
Rockefeller center" said bricklay-
er's helper, "and we got more to tell
you on other construction jobs"
At Rockefeller center, the Daily
Worker uncovered the fact that not
only were millions of dollars being
vrung out of the workers through
The so-called "kick-bac racket, but
that John d. Rockefeller, Jr., was
fully apprised Of the conditions that
existed.
The "kick-back" racket is method
of forcing the worker to pay back
from 20 to so per cent Of his daily
wage to the foreman or the build
ing contractor. The union leaders
knew Of this situation.
On government Jobs, on municipal
construction, In the smallest private
building ventures, workers were
gouged and nulcted by the 'skick-
back" racket.
Yesterday, the Daily Worker print
ed facts proving that the oil king,
John D. Rockefeller, Jr. knew that
this form OF racketeering was in fun
swing at Rockefeller Center.
Here in this huge pile of buildings,
employing tens Of thousands Of work
ers in every branch OF the building
trade, tens Of thousands Of dollars
were wrung daily from the wages of
these workers. Rockefeller, like the
union leaders, kept silent on this
method Of bleeding the workers be-
cause they gained from it. Rockefel-
Ter got lower construction costs. It
WAS a particularly vicious form Of
wage cut. The A. F. Of l.. leaders got
their share in many instances; they
kept the workers from struggling.
Turning from the Rockefeller Cen
ter to smaller construction jobs, we
md this vicious system in practice.
Paid Graft, Starving Now

dark cellar. He is destitute and
hungry" Herbert Bergstrom told the

Men Betrayed Back to
Work and Now Matter

DAILY Worker Washington Bureau

DAILY Worker Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. Unof1-
cial reports that the Roosevelt Gov
eminent has about decided to stop
all pretense of attempting to force
the Weirton Steel Company to allow
its workers to elect their own repre-
Sentatives for collective bargaining
were given additional significance to-
day when the White House let it be
known that Presiden Roosevelt had
talked over the matter with Chair
man Wagner OF the National Labor
Board and had nothing to say.
General Hugh S. Johnson, N. r. A.
Administrator, earlier said that the
case OF Weirton's open refusal to
permit an election would be turned
over to the compliance division of the
N. R. A. for action.
Just a Football
Thus it became the more obvious
that the Government Is merely toss
ing the case like a football from one
Of the maze of N. r. A. agencies to
another.
Az Aioo bCCii odiu 1lClc tildJ blle Dt-
partment of Justice has practically
concluded that lack of evidence"
would doom to failure any effort to
pany interference with an election. 1t
was the election promise that was
used to drive the striking Weirton
secure an injunction to prevent COM
workers back to work last October. 1t
was an injunction, Wagner promised
weeks ago, that would finally make
good the promise. The Justice De-
partment is understood TO have sent
out agents to sound out Federal
Judges n the Weirton Company's
territory.
They returned, 1t Is said, reporting
that the Judges unanimously indi-
Gated they would not grant such an
Injunction.
