My wife was near me, clinging to our six-months-old baby. Before I could reach her side, the baby was swept from her arms and car ried away. We haven't found him yet. All of us were carried down the canyon before we could escape.
 "Then from higher ground we saw the most terrifying scene in my memory. A wall of water near- 1y 15 feet high roared down the canyon, sweeping everything before it. I can't tell how many people we saw swept past us, clinging to trees and other debris. don't know how we finally got through to safety"

CUSTOMS INSPECTION ON

Laud protests were heard in

bers of the U. S. Customs Ser.
vice inspected the baggage of g
large group of embers of the
California Press Association,
who we're returning a board q
special train from q two weeks
good will trip to Mexico.
Former Governor Friend w.
Richardson Of California led the
chorus of protests, claiming that
members Of the party we're in.
suited" by the inspection aud
that the U. S. Customs Service
should recognize good will,
trade-promoting trip. and not
subject the party to customs in.
spection. The former governor
and group Of coast publishers
called on Frank J. Duffy. U. s.
collector of customs here. and
protested vigorously.
The Herald has investigated
the affair, and from our conclu.
sions we believe that the press
group was wrong in their con.
tentions. The customs rules re.
quire that all persons entering
the United States shall submit
their baggage for inspection.
The Herald finds that local
customs officials. we're courteous
aud made the inspection in the
least time possible. Ia fact the
train was held here only three
hours. during which time the
baggage of 86 mem bers of the
press party was inspected.
Newspaper publishers should
be among the first to consent to
upholding Uncle Sans regula.
tions. T hey cannot expect
specia! privileges over other
citizens.
It was decidedly embarrass.
ing to citizens of this commun.
ity. especially those who went
to the special train to extend q
hand of welcome, to hear the
visitors arguing, protesting and
decrying simple customs rules
which are prevalent on t b g
entire border. While inspection
may cause some delay, aud per.
haps some embarrassment. yet
we cannot condone u. 8. officials
who f1aunt the rules and regula-
tions for the special benefit Of

The Dock Strike Sweeps On

THE great strike of the West Coast long
L shoremen, seamen, firemen, masters,
mates and pilots sweeps on, dashing on the
rocks the bright hopes of the shipowners
that Joseph P. Ryan, head of the Interna-
tional Longshoremens Association, would
be able to lead the men back to work under
terms of an agreement that would give the bosses
control of the union.
Building united front from below, the rank and
file longshoremen have pushed the corrupt A. F.
Of L. leaders aside and have taken the situation
IN their own hands.
ct is becoming plainly evident" said the
leading editorial In Mondays Astoria Budget
published in Astoria, Oregon, that the elected
officials of the longshoremen's unions no
longer their leaders They hold the titles but
the leadership has passed into the hands of rad
icals in the ranks"
The radicals in the ranks" the great ma
jority of longshoremen, who, disguised with the
class collaboration policies of their leaders, roared
down Ryan's proposal to send them back to the
docks with no guarantee against discrimination,
with no provisions for hours of labor with no pro-
visions for the seamen and grain handlers and
with a union dominated by the shpowners and
their agents, the N. r. A. officials.
These striking longshoremen have broken the
hypnotic spell that the new deal magcisns are at
tempting to cast over the entire working class in
the u S. A., while they Systematically slash down
the wage scale. Roosevelts sleight-of-hand is not
fooling the West Coast stevedores.
What stands out as extremely significant in the
recent rejection of the shipowners back-to-work
plan is the strikers almost unanimous disagree
ment with the plan to establish Labor Relations
Committee on which would sit employers. which
would be given the right to strike members from
the union rolls.
The longshoremen in voting against the La
Dor Relations Board were voting against move
toward building fascist unions in America, unions
under the complete domination of the employers
and the capitalist government
Day by day it is becoming clear to the workers
that what the Daily Worker said at the very outset
of the N. R. A. ballyhoo is the absolute truth
that the setting up of government boards to decide
union questions is long step toward fascism and
ruthless suppression of the working class
The longshoremen. through their action, have
dealt heavy blow at the growing fascist tendencies
in America they have set example for workers
in all industries who beset all sides by gentle
men of the N. r. A. and officials Of the A. F. of L.
The lOngshoremen the West Coast must
get more support from their brothers in the east
ern ports. Not a ship coming from the West
Coast must be unloaded in the Atlantic ports.
Seamen and longshOhremen Of all ports! Show
solidarity with the West Coast strikers
Spread the marine strike to the East
