A Fill pinO Worker in the L. S. Tells
Why He Joined the Communist Party
Conditions Plantations
Native Workers in al Of ec Slavery

BY Filipino Worker Of the Filipino
Anti-Imperialist League, Brooklyn
I AM a Filipino worker. I was born
in a small town of Tanjay in
the province of Oriental Negroes,
P. I. Oriental Negroes is an agri-
cultural province, and the majority
of its population consists of workers
of big sugar plantations owned by
spanish landlords. In Bats, for in
stance, small town with a popula-
ton of fifteen thousand, about 80
per cent work in the sugar cane
plantation owned by three big
Spanish landlords.
These workers get rs centavos a
day (121a cents with lodging and
food, and work from s am. to
s p. m. They are watched by a
foreman, who sees to it that they
work continuously. In the afternoon,
I have seen these workers going
home tired and sleepy after the
hardest work imaginable.
The workers with their slavery
wages become so indebted that they
cannot get away from their land
lord. The workers on this plantation
are terrorized and robbed of their
rights to organize and protest for
higher wages. I know these facts,
because I once lived with my uncle
in Bats, who was practical sugar
chemist on that plantation. Jesus
Dias sugar plantation).
7 WILL give another example, sim
liar to the one I have Just de-
scribed. In the Barrio of Polo, in
the town of Tanjay where I was
born, there is a big "cocoanut plan
tation" owned by an American Cor
poration. During the very first year
of its ablishment, the company
forced every small Filipino peasant
whose land Is situated close to this
plantation, to sell, and If the Fill
Pine peasants would not sell them,
they took them by force.
Most of the peasants lost their
cases during the trial because the
plantation owner handed large sums
of money to the judge and other
officials in that town.
The peasants and workers in that
small town have learned from their
own experience of the alliance be-

THE majority of the Filipinos who
4 come to America are ambitious
to study in schools. But only 10
per cent out of hundred are sue
cessful in their studies. There are
several reasons for this. First, most
of the Filipino students who come
here are self-supporting. Second, we
Filipinos in America are discrimin-
ated against, so that we are unable
to get decent work where we could
earn and study at the same time
Third, some of the Filipino students
are Influenced and poisoned by their
surrounding and go in for women
and gambling.
There are many Filipino organiza-
tons in America The main func-
tons of these organizations are to
improve the social relationship be-
tween American and Filipino people.
These organizations have purely
bourgeois programs. There is a
Philippinean in Sands Street, Brook
lyn, This organization denounced
the Filipino Anti-Imperialist League
as being led by the Communist
Party, claiming that their policies
are similar and that such policies
are not proper for the P. I. The
Filipino masses in America, how
ever, have entirely lost faith in this
organization because they learned
that it is not interested in lettering
the condition of Filipino workers in
America nor in fighting for the
real freedom of the Filipino masses
in P. l., but instead is interested in
strengthening the power Of the cap
italist government in the P. I.
For more than year 1 have been
a member of the Filipino Anti-Im-
perialist League. The League since
its establishment has been rallying
Filipino workers in Brooklyn, N. Y,
and Philadelphia to support the
fight of the Filipino masses in the
P. I. in their fight for land, rice and
real independence, has been rallying
Filipinos as well as white and Ne
gro workers in America to protest
for the freedom of comrade Evan
gelista, the national secretary of the
G. P. in P. l., and other prisoners
who lead the Filipino workers and
peasants in their struggles for free
dom.

tween the politicians and the owner
of that plantation. The peasants
have learned that the capitalist
class and their agents are not in
terested at all in alleviating the
condition of the laboring classes but
instead they are only interested in
exploiting for their own interest.
Their small pieces of land were
grabbed up because the plantation
owner wanted them to become land
less and forced to work for him.
This company was established in
1915. I was then a small boy. But
I never forgot these facts.
THE workers we're paid according
i to their age and the sort of work
they were doing. A Is to 10 year old
boy, working at hoeing received
from Is to Is centavos a day Q21a
cents, with lousy food. The laborers
who till the fields received from %
to 80 centavos day Q5 cents
They became so involved in debt
that they were unable to run away
to look for better wages.
In general the majority of the
provinces in the P. I. are populated
by small peasants, who owned small
parcels of land where they could
cultivate and produce crops for their
existence. Money is very scarce
throughout the island.
In Manila, Ceba, Iloilo and Fam
boanga are more or less industrial
lied cities where the majority of
the Filipino masses are workers in
the factories and other concerns.
The p I. since 1907 has been the
source of labor for Hawaiian plan
tations. In the year 1929, 1923
Filipino workers went to Hawaii IN
der contract to work on the plan
tations. Up to 1915 the sugar grow
ers hired Filipinos from the P. I.
and paid their transportation. Since
then the Hawaiian sugar planters
have forced the Filipino workers to
pay their own way. With capitalist
advertisements and propaganda to
the effect that Hawaii is an island
OF paradise and prosperity, the
small peasants, specially in the
island of Luzon, would sell their
belongings so that they could de-
part for Hawaii.

TAKE the national question. Marks
letter Of March %, 1870, gives a
picture of Marxism in action as
champion of the nationally
oppressed, not out of vague human

ject people, but as a means to social
revolution on wider front. The
English workers, Marx quotes from
a resolution of the General Coun-
Gil of the International, must be
active fighters for the freedom OF
Ireland if they are to free them
selves from capitalism in England.

1917 Conscientious
Director Describes
Toriures in Prison

Uncle Sans Devils Island is the
title Of g privately printed booklet
by the late Philip Grosser. He
describes how he was tortured by
American army officers and their
subordinates because he would not
fight in Wilson'S imperialist war
of 1917-15. Grosser was the first
man to be placed in the famous
Iron Maiden at Alcatraz when that
was a militery prison. He endured
the cramped upright coffin-box for
two months and yielded to prison
work regulations only when he felt
his reason giving way. Copies may

The F. A. L. has taken up the
fight in connection with the Me-
nierva Cigar workers in Manila
where during the cigar workers
strikes the Murphy government
turned loose their fascist gangs to
murder the Filipino cigar strikers.
The majority of the Filipino work
ers in Brooklyn and New York I'M
derstand that the fight which is be-
ing led by the r. A. L. is the fight
for real freedom Of the Filipino
workers and peasants as well as the
fight for the white and Negro work
ers in America. The League has
exposed the betrayers Of the Filipino
masses, such as Quezon, Osmena,
Rozas and Co.
IN South Brooklyn, the majority Of
the FiIipinos are seamen. They
are housed by three Filipino land
lords who own a boarding house.
They are charged a dollar day,

these seamen is bad, some times
they are forced to sleep three in
one bed. They stay in this board
ing house because they think it is
their only way to secure a lob

the seeds of a revolutionary

on the other hand, the signs OF

In such circumstances, the role
cast for revolutionary journalism
is an essential one. 1t must stand
as the implacsble defense of a

GONE Of these men. important
y officials Of firms which have been
giving money to an anti-Semitic Or
ganization, are prominent in the
field Of JEWS philanth-opies. For
instance:
Max Epstein, the chairman Of
the organization. has made dona-
tons to various universities and
Jewish philanthropies. Lewis L.
Strauss, who started poor and
amas5ed wealth is very active in
Jewish charities. He is treasurer,
for instance, of the Jewish Theo-
logical Seminary and is on the
executive committee of the Amer
lean Jewish Committee which has
done a good deal of work in fight
ing the spread Of anti-Semitism.
With money collected from Jews,
Jung is able to order vast quantities
Of anti-Semitic propaganda which
he sells to other anti-Semitic or
CARNATIONS. Jung likes a profit
even in spreading the "hate the
Jew" creed. Let me give an illus
tration. On Dec. /, 1893, shortly
before he got sizeable sum from
the King Of Chewing Gum manu-
facturers, William Wrigley. Jr..
Jung wrote to Harry F. Sieber,
treasurer Of the Silver Legion Of
America:
In response to yours addressed
to r. /. Peterson on November %,
we can give You price of sixty
cents per copy in quantity lots of
the Protocols"
As for Halt Gentle. and

Besides distributing the protocols,
Jung secured from Iitler's anti
Semitic agents both in Chicago and
in New York throwaways struggled
in off German ships as we'll as ma
terial imported or printed in this
country, particularly those urging a
boycott against Jewish stores in
retaliation for the boycott of Ger

making a financial appeal for
backing from German-Amercan
business men. One Of those circu-
lars he broadcast in Chicago reads:

Recruits Join
Office Workers

NEW YORK. -The Literary
Trades Section Of the Office Work
ers Union announces that the over
whelming majority Of the member;
of the Office staff of the Modern
Library and the entire staff Of story
Magazine have joined the Union
In joining the union they made the
following statement to the union
members which was read and ap-
plauded at the membership meet
ing of October 18th:
I'VE in STORY stand solid and
have joined the Office Workers
Union because we are convinced
that only through such action can
we make secure whatever work
ing advantages we now hold, and
only through such action and sim
liar action Of all workers in the
industry, organized on an indus
trial basis, can We go ahead to
winning better conditions for all.
''The employees of Modern Ii
brary and of Story have elected a
joint shop committee which shall
represent us all.
1--WE urge all employees in the
literary trades industries to Join
with u.s."
TN joining the Office Workers
Union, the workers of the MOD
ERN LIBRARY take this oppor-
tunity TO affirm their belief in the
principle of uniOnism and to make
clear their unanimous position. In
view of the fact that conditions
prevailing in the Modern Library
more than meet the maximum de-
mands Of the union, we feel ours
is a gesture of solidarity that
should stimulate other workers in
the literary trades to similar &C
ton. We approve, particularly, of
the principle of autonomy 10
which the Office Workers Union
is committed. We reserve the right
of withdrawal from the Union
when this principle is abandoned.
"Our shop committee is en-
powered to act for us on all ques-
tons pertaining to united action,
dues and all other organizational
matters.
I'VE cannot emphasize too
strongly our hope that the step
taken by workers in the Modern
Library will set a precendent for
all unOrganized workers in the
