for the dance and furry of leafy
shadows on the sward; for Silly
wayside pools whose waters, deep
and dark in the shade of overhang-

To the eyes of Barnabas, the
beauty of the world about him
served only to remind him of the
beauty of her who was compounded
of all things beautiful-the one and
only woman. whose hair was yellow
like the ripening corn, whose eyes
we're deep and blue as the infinite
heaven, whose lips were red as the
peoples that bloomed beside the

youth, and soft and white as the
billOwy clouds above.

The customary way Of handling
explosives had been to load a small
number Of cases on one of the fat
cars and then have a gang Of men
push the cars slowly down to the
warehouse where it was to wait for
distribution 10 points in the interior.
When the first load got slowed away
another little fat car got pushed
up with with another load
It was cautious method and re-
quired too many men and too much
time for man ike Towning, so
the factor issued new orders-au
the dynamite was to go in one load
on one fiat car and then the little
switch-engine was to be coupled on.
He was tired Of humoring timid
men. He was very emphatic. His
figures showed conolusively that the
old way OF bringing up the dyna-
mite cargo would waste SIS Of com
pany money. And on that he put
his foot down.
The men protested, they baked,
they stood around with Sullen faces.
But they were unorganized. They
asked at last for slight safeguard.
They knew that the little switch en-
CINE spluttered like a chestnut on
every trip. If they loaded the card
full-up they wanted to push it them
selves. Finally the engine driver
pleaded to be allowed to put at least
an empty car between the engine
and the dynamite. Towning was
not the kind of man to argue with
his men-when the load left the pier
few minutes later it was pushed
by the locomotive and there was no
empty car between the load and
engine. The engine crew, a brake
man and one of the soldiers from
the eustomhouse went with the
train.
According to some of the clerks
and stevedores on the pier the cases
of detonaters were also put on the
loaded car in the interests of speed,
but according to others they were
kept separate on the pier. At any
rate when the locomotive stopped
in front of the warehouse there was
a slight jerk as the car took up the
slack in the drawbar-a few of the
upper cases toppled off. With a
roar that was heard in San SAL
vador, two hundred and fifty cases
of dynamite went off in shatter-
ing blast, Eighty people were blown
instantly to bits.

GOOD Ship Santa Catalina"


THE N. S, Santa Catalina south
bound from San Francisco ar
rived at the port Of Ia Libertad.

the open rosdstead beyond the
lighters to discharge her cargo. She
carried dynamite. After she had
discharged thTe or four hundred
cases Of explosives into one of the
empty lighters she took up her an
Choir and left. The two other Grace
liners that were there also sailed
that night.
La Libertad is a small port on
the open sea, single pier Just
out over heavy surf. A small rail-
road with one locomotive and a few
fat cars runs along the pier and
up the shoreline short distance
to the large warehouse near the
center Of the towns commercial life.
The 5000 or so people that live
here are mostly workers, depending
on the activity of the port, steve
dores, workers in the warehouse
clerks, some railroad men.
Tourists do not linger here. A
good paved road connects the port
with the capital city, San Salvador
about % miles away. This is the
highways the tourists take to see
the large coffee f1neas, the silk fac
tories and to hear the Marimba
band at the Hotel 'Nuevo Mundo.
In La Libertad. the Grace Line
factor, ToVning, is in charge. His
control over those who work for him
in the port is absolute. His terrible
power Of blacklist dominates the
entire town.
Exploitation, of course, Is not new
in San Salvador The Spaniards
with erucif1x and sword early laid
out the bloody roads to Heaven
throughout the sunny land Cof-
fee barons, mahogany manufactu-
rers, banana kings keep the heritage
of exploitation intact. The hulls OF
bright new ships Quilt with U. S.
government money! appear regularly
between the volcanic hills of every
tiny roadstead and the sound of
their rumbling anchor chains is the
alarm clock to impoverished thou
sands. And among the steamship
lines that carry freight and tourists
here, the Grace Line is one of the
most assidious in administering
culture 10 a backward people" with
the fiery spoon Of Yankee imperial
ism.
Towing, the Grace Lines repre-
sentative in La Libertad, has the
arbitrary manner of dealing with
workers common to all white rulers
in subjugated lands, the scoWling
face under the English sun helmet,
the spiteful contempt for the ma
tives, the craze for efficiency, for
speed-up. And to these traits which
Towing shares with his imperialist
brothers throughout the world, he
brings the arrogance of a small
mean nature in small mean ply
sique.
EARLY on the morning following
II March 10, the lighter loaded with
dynamite was moved alongside the
pier and emptied. There were no
ships in port of the time and no
particular need for hurry but the
factor liked to do things as quickly
as possible.

The Nature Friends Photo Group
is showing an unusually attractive
exhibition Of photographs at IL E.
18th st.
Here are pictures which denounce
the tragic waste of scarcity in the
midst of plenty, here are pictures
of want, Of unemployed workers
adrift. One noteworthy picture
shows a dereliet, q product of capt.
tsliSm, in tsttered shoes, gazing
longingly at a store window full
of shiny new shoes. Another ex-
cellent picture shows a group of
workers carrying a huge wooden
beam. Across the street and inn
mediately above this beam Is
large sign, National City Bank, :"
which excellently symbolizes the
heavy burden that the workers
carry on their backs because of the
banks. Another shows a pair of
feet YEARLY and ainilessly climb
ing the steps of Union Square

The exhibit also includes several
smaller groups of pictures showing
the Nature Friends groups on hikes,
scenes in various parts of the
United States, and some landscapes
and city shots which reveal on the
part of the photographers artistic
response to life about them.
The work of this group, as well
as that of the Photo Section of
the Film and Photo League, al
though excellent in execution
nevertheless shows clearly the
political and revolutionary limita-
tons of the straight photograph.
The job of the revolutionary photo
grapher lies in two fields, report

ton to the problem of complete
politicalization of the photograph
lies in the "montage," which is
combination of two, three or more
photographs so arranged that they
seem to be one. These photos may

NEW YORK. Zone of the features

ing Of the winning May Day song

was yet unable to withstand the ter
rifle force Of a man-msde explosion.
Twisting and groaning as its sup
porting columns collapsed, it fell
down upon the people within. com
pleting the scene Of death and
chaos.
The light adobe houses of the
town with their tiled roofs and
fiimsy construction we're shaken to
dust in many places. Hardly q single
house within a 1000 yards of the
explosion had more than a wall
intact. All the roofs had fallen
down. Only the Grace Line Office
of concrete remained OF the build
ings near the warehouse, but it's
roof had collapsed. too. The factor.
however, was not in the office. He
was nowhere near the explosion.
THIS was a disaster that struck
out swiftly the lives of men who
knew nothing but toll, workers who
were forced to dangerous work
against their will, men who died in
inarticulate protest It got its day
of obscure notice in the newspapers
as another natural accident, one of
those unaccountable acts Of an i'm
partial" God. Nobody said anything
about Towningis crying to save SIS
of Grace Lines money.
But to the awakening workers
in all countries who have first hand
knowledge of the brutalities and in
difference of the ruling classes, who
themselves know the utter disregard
for human bodies and lives that is
displayed by every boss from the
obscure men of Towning's type to
the lordliest capitalist of finance
these workers know that there is
more behind a seeming accident of
this sort than what appears on the
surface. And it is these workers
who through their knowledge of suf-
fering will create the force that will
remove this suffering. Men like
those who died at La Libertad what
irony in that nameD, steyedores,
poems, workers from the coffee fin
cas-, all coloTs, all races, bent miners
digging green copper ore on the
Andes slopes, the shipyard workers
constructing the latest war monsters
on the banks of the Clyde, the tex
tile factory hands of Osaka, the
ironTorkers of the Saar-the future
is with these men,
The responsibility for the explo-
sion was tentatively placed on
Towing and he was taken to San
Salvador under arrest. but the I'LL
innate outcome is hard to predict,
officials in La Libertad had the
opinion that he would only be de-
ported, that the Grace Line would
in cases like this for large COM
panies to disown their own minions
have full blame. 1t is customary
and Towning will probably be left
to shift for himself-if so, things
may go hard for him indeed. He
was almost lynched before he left
La Libertad by the excited crowd.
Whatever happens to him now is of
no interest. No one cares. He
played his faithful part in the adj
vance of American imperialism and
is ready to quit the scene. Only
the workers left in La Libertsd
know how well he played that part
