(P).-Voluntary assistance to the needy
of the Nation by the more fortunate,
as distinguished from general govern

the civic auditorium where other thou
sands chered him, the former Presi-
dent left by train for his home at Palo
Alto. He spent part of his youth in
this district, and remarked today:
That was before we were told that
the Government owed us living"
The major tribute for the relief work
that has lessened the distress of this

averaged 200 per month.
Since the Frandsen protest"
says Henry Price, militant leader
of the defendants, ."evictiOns
have dropped to one or two in
six months"

loyalty and support during our
Imprisonment, and fighting for
our release" said Price on his re-

behalf of our release"
Three hundred Thousand state
ments of fact were printed during
the trial. two years ago, and the
organized protest of the Frand-
sen eviction fighters ushered in
the Home Loan Act in this state.
"The struggle for working class
rights is not yet wOn," Price con
cluded. I'VE must continue our
militant defense even more
strongly, as the master class in
tensifies its attempts at our dis
organization"

and had been promised "a pleas

chairman of the Fishermen and
Cannery Workers Industrial I'm
ion, urged immediate organiza-
ton, and Ponce Torres, Filipino,
was made secretary, the men vOt-

The following grievances were
formulated: That they should
know exactly what wages they
were getting; and that the long
and short shifts should not be di-
vided between the white and Fill
ipinO, but should be shared
equally.
Demands Presented
A committee of McFerrOn, Grit

ent, Williams, reported that he
would pay 50 cents to experience
ed hands and 40 cents to ineXperi-

who was and who was not expert
enced.
Due to lack of complete organ

back to work.

however, is taking place rapidly,

may be expected later in the sea-
