Para decirte que tie quiero tanto,
ii Sc incendiara la Creacion entera,
TODD 10 creado en- llama fulgurante
de amor, ante tus ojos nazarenos:

para dar un nuevo astro al firmamento,
ell temblor de SUI luz, honda pupila

cuando sedienta ell alma, bebe luna,

arpa inmensa con notas nunca oidas,
por invisibles Sedos arrancadas,
ell arpa gigantesca y luminosa
no igualaria en- su canto a los latidos
saturados de lagrimas calladas

Como cantarte, pues, ell amor MIC,
81 TODD es tan pequeiio y tan vacio

y una mlsica tenue como espuma

La pluma esta en- tus alas musicales;

ID. to Fight
For New Trial
For r. johnson

NORFOLK, Va, Feb. 14.-The
fight for a new trial for Robert Lee
Johnson, Negro worker railroaded
to a life sentence on a trumped-up
charge of murder, will be carried to
the Court of Appeals, he Inter
national Labor Defense has an
nounced.
johnson, told by a committee
which visited him in prison that a
new trial might even result in his
being railroaded to the electric
chair, militantly replied that he
would rather die fighting than to
spend his life behind bars for some
thing he did not do.
johnson was arrested and charged
with murder when one of two po-
licemen who jumped on two I'M
identified Negroes was killed in a
gun battle. He was rushed to trial
before an all-white jury, with de
Tense" attorney appointed by the
court. The frame-up was so brazen
that the court contented itself with
a life sentence for the innocent
worker.
Negro and white workers here are
highly incensed over the frame-up
and are rallying behind the I. L. D.
in a rapidly developing mass fight
for Johnson. Many mass meetings
are being held here.
On Feb. the lower court denied
an appeal for a new trial, making
necessary the fight to the higher
court.

each scab is sandwiched in between

streets Of Hanover today.

strongly, while company hands are

to round up starved farmers to scab,
Called Open Shop Measure
Some of the ofncials of the United
Anthracite Miners of Pennsylvania,
which called the strike are now also
beginning to talk more militantly
against the injunction calling it an
open shop measure, and urge mass
picketing to make it worthless.
Spurred by the activity of the
Women's Auxiliary of the U. A. M.
of P. women and children are taxi
ing an increasing part in strike ac~
tivity. Many women have been ar
rested for picketing, reports from
strike regions show,
More Troopers are being brought
into the region, and from all indi-
cations this is a sign for q still more
intense reign of terror.
Representatives of the Unemploy-
ment Councils have addressed many
strike meetings and urged more
militant action and mass picketing,
especially at the collieries which are
making attempts to operate. Flying
squads are urged which would go to
the farming regions to appeal to the
farmers not to scab. Students are
also being hired as scabs and a wide
publicity campaign to make known
the issues in the strike is sorely
needed.

Big Victory

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Feb. IA
West Coast seamen won a signal
victory in the award announced by
the arbitration board which was ap-
pointed after the marine strike last
summer, when seamen, longshore-
men and teamsters united in one of
the greatest strikes in the history
Of the American working class.
The award, which affects seamen
Of eleven major lines, conceded
wage increases of as high as so per
cent for many workers. le-bodied
seamen will get $40 a month, and
70 cents an hour for overtime; stew
ards and cooks will get sos a month
and so cents an hour overtime; fire.
men, oilers and watertenders, $40
and 70 cents an hour overtime;
combination men, replacing firemen
and oilers, SITS a month and 10 cents
an hour overtime.
The workers are to work eight
hours day in port, and maximum
of fifty-six hours a week at sea. All
work performed" is to be paid for,
including steering time. Heretofore
such time was not paid for.
This compares with $57 month
for able bodied seamen for East
Coast workers, as provided in the
agreement recently entered into by
the I. S. U. with thirty-eight steam
ship companies. The workers asked
for SIS when the strike was called
by the Marine Workers Industrial
Union on the West Coast. 1t was
more than a week following the
calling of the seamens strike that
the I. S. U. also issued a strike call.
The officials of the / S. U. on the
coast maintained a splitting policy
and took part in the reign of fas-
cist terror against the militant
members of the union, especially
during the poll that was taken to
determine which union the workers
preferred. Now they are fighting all
proposals for a merger Of the two
unions into a powerful organization
such as will be able to enforce the
arbitration award.
