CHAPTER vi

AS Jen made the rounds of the
rooms to make the beds and tidy
up a bit, she thought it would be
good if she were to show her STEP
sister Doris that she sympathized
with her and let her know that
she was sorry she couldn't go to the
city sooner because of the accident
which necessitated Marks giving
COW to George.
So when she came to Doris room,
she came with a heartful of real
sympathy.
You do see how it is, don't
you, Doris?" she asked.
There, don't take it so hard,
dear" Jen said consolingly. Its

THE COMMISSION REPORTS

u The report of its investigations in I'M
perial Valley, submitted by the commits
sion appointed by the state chamber OF
commerce and the California Farm Bu-
reau, appears to be highly satisfactory
to this community. principally because 1t
very rightly puts the blame for what
trouble we have had in the agricultural
industry at the door of radicals and
those openly committed to the cause of
Communism.
On the whole the report is a fair one.
1t doesn't neglect to point out some of
the wrongs which directly and indirectly
had bearing on the trouble, and rec
ommends that such wrongs be righted.
Among its recommendations most val
ley residents will be pleased with the
suggestion that the rest of the state
should be educated as to the real cause
Of the disturbances here-the activity of
radical organizations and impressed
with the fact that these disturbances
are definitely associated with a great
and far-reaching world revolutionary
movement"
1t recommends that agriculture clean
its house so that those desirous of using
the diScontented laborer for their revolu-
tionary activities will not find fertile
field; urges that the state division of
housing and immigration be supported in
its efforts to improve living conditions in
the agricultural areas; advocates an
abundant supply of satisfactory drink
ing water and recommends assistance
from the attorney general in trying cases
arising from activities of Communists
and radicals and from the federal health
service in promoting sanitation.
One of the outstanding recommends

attorneys engaged almost entirely in de-
Tending the acts of those who advocate
overthrow of the government. If the bar
association does act in this manner it
will give much assistance to the halting

fornia for it has been demonstrated that
those engaged in such work are inspired
in great measure by the knowledge that
adequate and competent legal aid will be
furnished for them. Every man is en-
titled to legal counsel but there is
grave inconsistency created when those
who would abolish the law and the courts
turn to the same law and the same courts
for protection-and very often get it.
Recommendation that the state high
way patrol and the work of the criminal
Identification bureau be increased, if
adopted would also aid in the battle
against Communism and more effective
than anything else would be adoption of
the commissions recommendation that
the federal government wake up and
take a lively interest in the deportation
of aliens who foment labor troubles.
The report shows that the men who
made it conscientiously and painstak-
ingly tried to carry out the commission
given them, and indicates that they have
succeeded in grasping an excellent pic
ture of the situation here.

GOOD LUCK TO THE LEAGUE

Fl Centro's most popular outdoor
sport-night baseball-really gets un-
der way for the season Monday night
when the first regular game of the Ell
Centro Night Ball league is called on
Wilson field
For the next 20 weeks many FL Gen.
trans will enjoy the contests and it is a
pleasure once again 10 wish the league a
successful season
In the past the players and all con-
eerned with the sport. have kept it on an
exceptionally high plane. The games
have been played in the midst of keen
rivalry between players and supporters
of the various teams. but there has been
little or no rowdyism as so often is the
case when excitement inspired by compe-
tition grows keen. What little there has
been has been smothered Immediately by
the attitude of the fans and players who
frown on anything that might injure the
sport even slightly. That this same atti-
tude will prevail this year can be taken
for granted
The league is to be highly commend
ed for the action taken last night in vot-
ing to give financial aid TO the work of
supplying food for school children. The
Wilson school grounds are used by the
league for its games and relation be-
tween the league ana the ScnOolS Is
close. The businessmen at the head of
the league and the players who partici-
pate in the games, have no desire to make
money out of their activities. They are
in the thing for the sport there is in it
and to provide wholesome entertainment
for the people of this city.
Their action in turning over the league
surplus to aid children who need it is a
bit of unselfishness and devotion to the
best interests of this community that is
bound to draw the praise of all Ell Gen.
tro.
1t has been stated here before that The
Press was instrumental in playing the
first soft-ball night games in Ell Cen
tro. Since then the sport has developed
into an institution far beyond the dreams
we had very near 10 years ago. 1t has
prospered and developed much better
than those who first became interested
in it ever hoped.
We know there will be a large crowd
out for Monday nights opener and we
hope the same condition prevails through
out the season. Again we say, Good
luck, and may the best team win after a
season in which it has had to battle ev-
cry step of the way to beat out the
others"

The Negro and the
Task of Our Order

tional Workers Order is based on
the principles Of class struggle. It
realizes that these aims can be
achieved only through the unity of
all sections of the working class,
Negro and white, native and for
eign born.
The ruling class uses the method
Of splitting the white against the
Negroes, the native against foreign
born, in order to drag down the
standard Of all of them. Daily glar-
ing examples in strikes, where one
section of the workers is made to
act against the others, as on the
jobs where the bosses pay the
Negroes lower wages. They use
them as a club for keeping the
standard of the other workers
down! Here is a living proof of this.
Hence the International Workers
Order is particularly anxious to Or
ganize within its ranks the Negro
workers. 1t considers it as one of
its main tasks to participate in the
struggle for Negro rights, which will
achieve the unity of Negro and
white. Particularly is it the task
Of the white members Of our or
ganization to intensity their activ-
tiles against every form Of race
discrimination on the jobs, in their
fraternal organizations and wher-
ever it is found. In our present
campaign to build the English Sec
ton we must concentrate most of
our efforts to reach the Negro
masses, choosing in our concentra-
ton plans special Negro territories
and shops employing large numbers
of Negroes.
In our campaign for social in
surance, very special work must be
carried on to get Negro fraternal
organizations to participate with us
in our united front conferences. In
our meetings and in our agitational
material we must raise sharply the
slogan Of no discrimination against
Negroes.
Some success along these lines
has already been achieved by us.
Our special concentration in the
south through sending down a field
organizer has already brought into
our ranks two adult branches, two
children and one youth branch of
Negro membership in New Orleans.
Our concentration in Harlem, So.
Chicago, Crown Heights in Brook
Ign, the good work of our comrades
in Norfolk, Portsmouth and Rich
mond, all these are beginning in
this important work. Our present
campaign to build the English Sec
ton is the most important organiza-
tional campaign of our Order. 1t
is a campaign to root ourselves
among the basic section OF the
American working CLASS, the native
born. We cannot strike healthy
roots among the native born sec
ton Of the American workers I'M
less a large proportion of those we
recruit are our black brothers, the
Negro workers of this country. To
the extent that We will succeeded
in building large proportion Of
Negro membership in our proleta-
rian Order, to that extent we will
be able to serve the workers best
as a mass proletarian fraternal or
ganization, taking it's proper place
in the class struggle for better liv-
ing and working conditions, for the
establishment of system of social
and unemployment insurance.
Make our Order real challenge
to the leadership of the bourgeois
led fraternal organizations? For
ward to the building of powerful

The fraternal movement In the
United States is now going thru
a devastating crisis. Ninety five
per cent of the reports of the
fraternal organizations that are
printed in the late issues of the
"Fraternal Monitor" show terrible
losses in their membership.
At the same time we must keep
in mind the fact that all those
reports are from organizations that
have submitted their annual state
ments. There are hundreds Of
fraternsl organizations which do
not publish their reports in the
"Fraternal Monitor" but that have
dropped many members from their
rolls during the past few years.
However incomplete the reports
are, we can still have fair pic
ture of the havoc the present
economic crisis played with the
fraternal movement.
The "Fraternal Monitor is rec
ognized in the fraternal movement
as its off1cial organ The reports
submitted to the various insurance
departments are partly published
in the "Fraternal Monitor"
In its April 1884 issue, the Frat
ernal Monitor" publishes some re-
ports. From these we will cite
several, which are considered work.
ers' fraternal organizations.
The Greek Union of Russian
Brotherhoods, January /, 1898, had
59,232 members; January l, 1884
it reports q membership of 48,107
members; a net loss of 11,125
members.
The Modern Woodmen of Amer
lea, one of the largest fraternal
organizations in the country, re-
ported membership for 1888 of
565,760 and 512,537 for 1884, a loss
of 1929 members.
The Workmen's Circle, which
reported a membership of 70,327
for January l, 1888, not counting
the $500 members which it gained
in the amalgamation with the
Independent Workmen's Circle, re-
sports 66,240 members for Janu-
airy 1, 1884, a net loss Of 1887
members.
The Workingmen's Sick and
Death Benefit Fund which had a
membership of 55,O06 members in
1888, reports 50,829 members for
January l, 1884; a loss of Att
members. And so on down the
line.
These four organizations them
selves lost 1922 members during
the past year.
We must bear in mind that 1888
is not the first year which wit
nesSes large losses in the Ameri-
can fraternal movement. This
process is now going on for the
past three years. The N.R.A. has
not alleviated conditions in this
field, On the contrary. the losses
in 1888 were greater than in any
other year.
The Growth of the I.W.O.

first year of the crisis, can record
continuous gains for the past four
years. In January 1881, when the

|CKES CONTRACTS

Agreement Signed for Erec'
ton at Alta Vista, Va,
for Rayon Workers.

To provide comfortable homes for
employees Of rayon factory at Alta
Vista, Va, near Lynchburg, Public
Works Administrator Ickes yesterday
signed a contract with limited divi-
dend corporation of that town for
erection of so one-story frame resi-
dences. The housing division of the
p. w. A. had approved the project.
Under the terms Of the contract, 40
homes will be built at cost of 1892
each and 10 houses to cost $3.50
each. The purchase price of the land
Is $4,000. Grading, curbing and
sewers entail an additional $4,000
and landscaping $4,000.
Each of the homes will have four
rooms and bath with hot-water heat
ing with a cost per room to the ten
ant of 81 a month, a price consider
ably less than is usual for like ac-
commodations anywhere else in the
community.
Alta Vista is in the Otter River dis
trict of Campbell County, 20 miles
south of Lynchburg. During the de-
preston an industrial establishment
which furnished most of the bust
ness Of the community was compelled
to close. Recently a rayon factory
took the place of the old industry, but
its promoters found no adequate quar-
ters for employees, who were compelled
to go long distances to obtain their
housing facilities. For this reason
they appealed to the Government for
aid in providing suitable lOW-cOSt
frame houses.
The Government will lend not to
exceed $4,000 with interest at 4 pei
cent to the corporation, taking as Sc
curity first mortgage registered bonds
to mature in 1858 unless prepaid or
redeemed.
The project will provide $4,000 man
hours of labor, and the actual cost
OF the buildings will be $45 200.
