SEATTLE, Nov. THE Pacific
Northwest, as does every other
part of the country, witnesses
frantic preparations for war. The
U. S. Navy Yard in Bremerton
is busily engaged in the building
of battleships and destroyers,
and has received its allotment OF
the $1,O00,000 Vinson Bill ship
appropriations.
The DUPONT Powder Company,
ten miles south of Tacoma, is
employing double-shifts of work
ers to take care of its flood of
contracts, and the Boeing Air
plane factory, where govern
ment bombing planes are manu-
featured, is seldom idle.
Equally as clear as the pre-
parations for war is the unmis-
taxable trend toward fascism
here. During the recent marine
strike the Smith city hall admin
istration openly collaborated
with the waterfront employers
and big business in an attempt
to smash the strike with brutal
violence.
vigilantes Subsided
The American Vigilantes, oper-
ating on funds donated by civic
leaders, work to rally thugs and
hoodlums behind their vile anti
working-class program. Secretly,
their leaders cooperate with the
Silver Shirts in the dissemination
of anti-Semitic propaganda.
This same lawless organization
is allowed to flourish without in
reference from the police, even
when criminal deeds as the de-
molishing of the Ballard UCL
hall can be definitely laid to
their door. And the capitalist
press, particularly Hearst's Pr,
brazenly praises their aims and
activities.

Fight War, Fascism In Northwest

In the face of such significant
facts it is needless to point out
that the working class and its
allies must organize Immediately
to protest and struggle against
these manifestations of war pre-
parations and fascist terror.
The American League Against
War and Fascism, with its well
formulated, fighting program.
provides a rallying point for all
anti-war, anti-fascist forces.
Under the banner of the
League, every individual and ev-
cry organization concerned with
the preservation of humanity can
dismiss political or religious diff
ferences and join hands in the
fight against war and fascism.

Dear Editor:
The Washington Dehydrated
Food Products Co. here is one OF
the worst slave pens in the North
west. Every worker who is hired
is forced to such an intense speed
up that it is almost beyond hui
man endurance to keep the pace.
The women who feed the peel
ing machins must register 10000
apples each, if they intend to
keep their jobs. Sometimes when
there are such a large number of
rotten apples, it is impossible for
women to get their minimum and
they are locked accOrdingly-at
times receiving only eight hours
pay for ten hours work.
To get by the eight-hour day
law for women the company
works them for eight hours, then
they stop for ten-minute recess
and work two more hours. Dur
ing the lunch hour the women are
forced to go into the fire room
to keep warm and eat their lunch
in the filth, because there Is no
place where they can rest and
keep warm.
The wages are Is cents per
hour for women and most of the
men.
In the kilns, in spite of the in
tense heat, the workers are fore
ed to work at a speed-up pace
comparable only to the chain
gangs in the South. The kiln
crews work IL hours a day with
out lunch hour lunch is eaten
whenever time is found and sew
en- days a week.
In spite of the pure food
laws" the apples are dried in a
very unsanitary manner.
There is a sign on the bulletin
board stating that ANY worker
who gives information regarding
the policies of the company to
any newspaper will be 'drastical-
ly' dealt with"
With methods like this, slave
driving company keeps the work
ers in constant fear of losing their
jobs, and tries to keep them from
organizing and forcing better con-
ditions. OF late the workers are
beginning to talk over their
grievances and before the season
ends, a strike may grow out of
the wave of dissatisfaction.

CRIMINAL SYNDICALLSM,
WHAT 1T MEANS

An understanding of the ma :
ture and use Of these laws Is
a necessary prerequisite. But
it is not enough. With eleven
Washington and Oregon work.
ers now facing over one hun
dred years imprisonment and
over $4,000 in fines for Grim
inal syndicalism, IL is necessary
to determine how these work
ers shall be freed. Then too, IL
is necessary to determine how
criminal syndicalism laws
themselves shall be obliterat-
ed from the statute books.
Lawyers and legal TECHNICAL
ties alone will not free these
workers. Lawyers and legal tech
alone will not free Tom
Mooney. Lawyers and technicali-
ties alone will not free the vic
tins of criminal syndicalism laws.
This is true regardless of the
lawyers ability and sincerity.
Nor will legal technicalities alone
free the victims of criminal syn
dicalism laws because these laws,
as shown in previous articles OF
this series, have generally been
upheld by the courts as eonsti-
tutional.
The eleven Washington and
Oregon workers facing GRIMM
al syndicalism must be freed.
The laws themselves must be
obliterated from the statute
books. When the workers real
ize members Of their class are
the victims and when the work.
ers determine these victims
must be freed, criminal syndi.
calism will then cause US little
future concern.
