WORKERS in S. W.
ARE VICTIMS OF
LABOR RECRUITING
Report by Research Workers of the
Works Projects Administration Re-
veals Victimization, Exploitation.

Washington, D. C. (ILNS) Vic
limitation and exploitation of migrant
farm workers in the Southwest is re-
vealed in report by research work
ers of the Works Projects Admins
tration.
The report, tracing the movements,
jobs and earnings of more than 500
migratory families and individual
workers, often parallels current fc-
tional accounts of harsh exploitation,
Col. F. c. Harrington, w. P A. COM
missioner, declared.
Examples of lying advertising to
attract workers, meager pay, unsani-
tary living conditions and social bar
riers erected against migrant work
ers are cited in the report as typical
of conditions existing among refugees
from the Dust Bowl.
Regulation Recommended
Regulation of unrestricted re-
cruiting of seasonal labor" is recon-
mended to improve conditions of mi
gratory workers in the Southwest. No
simple solution has been discovered,
the report warns, and "even granting
that some practicable means of at
tacking the problem at it's source can
be found, progress in all probability
will be slow and difficult"
Although Arizona's most valuable
crop cannot be harvested without
them, the report states, the itinerant
cotton pickers are regarded as pari-
abs, and farmers feel their children
are degraded by contact in school
with the poor migrants. "The per-
manent residents regard them with a
feeling closely analogous to racial
prejudice - it continues.
The report, based on field study
conducted by the WP A. Division
of Research, traces for the year of
1887 the pursuits and earnings of SIS
migrant groups, at work in Arizona
during January and February, 1898
The total number of cotton pickers
working in Arizona at the time
ranged from about 10000 to $4,000 OF
less. The investigators visited about
80 cotton camps in three of the most
important producing counties to OBJ
tain their material
Alluring Advertising Used
The migratory cotton pickers came
to Arizona, it was found, because OF
the pressure of hard times in their
home communities. Of the group COW
cred by the survey, 81 per cent came
from Oklahoma, II per cent from
Texas and smaller proportions from
Arkansas and neighboring states.
"a majority of the cotton pickers
reported that Arizona was presented
to them in one way or another, as be.
ing promised land which could solve
for them the problems which they
could not solve at home," the report
states. "The most important reason
for their choice of Arizona as des-
tination was the advertising cam.
paign conducted by the cotton grow
ers."
The recruiting campaign has uti-
lized not only want ads, but also dis

New York City (ILNS).-The New
York City branch of the American
Labor Party adopted a resolution de-
nouncing American Communists as
'betrayers of the labor movement
and protagonists of dictatorship"
"The government of the Soviet
Union, urging and processing the
policy of unified front of the de-
mocracies against Nazi aggression,
suddenly and deceitfully adopted a
policy of close military collaboration
with the Hitler regime" the resolu-
tion said. "This action was indeed

Uncle Sam would be justified in ex-
pecting more from his employees and
undoubtedly he would get it. If he
didn't, he could soon obtain greater
efficiency by raising government pay
so as to attract a larger proportion
of efficient workers to federal service.

WAR BRINGS NO GOOD

WAR" said the Greek sage, 'is the
father of all things" We know bet
ter; we know that modern war is the
father of nothing that is good. The
best that can be said for war nova
days is that it may be accepted as
the lesser of two evils, when there is
no other possible choice.-The Wall

DICTATORSHIPS IN
FEAR OF OWN PEOPLE

(From the Electrical Workers JournaD
People never grow unconscious OF
a loss of liberty. There is plenty of
evidence that there is great restless
ness in Germany and Russia. The
frequent blood purges of Stain and
Hitler are accurate indication that
these despots are fearful of an up
rising of the people.

'If we as labor leaders cannot see
the handwriting on the wall, we are
not the kind of leaders the workers
who depend upon us need" he said.
Mr.. Tobin touched on a situation
which every thoughtful union mem
Der knows is of deep concern to the
labor movement.
The convention drove home the
truth that in organization lies the
salvation of the workers. 1t empha-
sized the message that the hope of
the producing classes, both city and
country, is in economic organization
now as in the past and future.
To this end it urged a union-for,
ward campaign and said:
at is of the utmost Importance tt
labor that the coming year should bt
one of activity in organizing workers
and in educating them in the prin
ciples of trade unionism that they
may be able to protect themselves anC
advance their interests socially, pc
litically and economically"

- Where with our
rec Little Hatchet we
tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pro-
foundly. Sometimes fippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

Fifty-ninth annual convention of
the American Federation of Labor is
now history.
AS usual, a record of constructive
achievement was made
The convention spoke on matters
of the vital Importance.
Every decision was made after full
discussion and consideration.
No dictums were handed down from
on high and ratified by rubber
stamp" delegates.
Questions were brought out in the
open, examined from all angles and
all views given an airing.
Then the convention spoke, exempli-
flying democracy and democratic pro-
cedure in it's best aspects.
Perhaps most important of all sub
jects before the delegates important
to every man, woman and child in the
United States-was the matter of
keeping this nation out of the Eu-
ropean war.
Reiteration of labor's determined
stand against war was of course to
be expected
The convention made it's declara-
ton in the plainest kind of language.
"The only way by which we can
avoid being drawn into the present
European war is to definitely deter
mine that we will not, that under no
circumstances will we enter into any
national policy which would include
the use Of armed force, except should
our shores be attacked" the conven-
ton said.
In that it spoke for the vast body
of citizens of the United States.
The convention, however, did not
shut its eyes to the principles involved
in the European conflict.
1t declared that the A. F. of l.. rec
ognized that continuance and expan-
sion of parliamentary government in
Europe is involved in the present
war"
1t made known it's answering op-
position to all forms of dictatorship
and it's firm championship of de-
mocracy.
But the convention saw clearly that
by keeping out of war and by holding
itself in readiness to aid peace eff
forts, the United States would be
serving the cause of civilization.
"There may come time," it said,
"when the warning countries would
welcome some great neutral nation
taking the lead in mediatorial eff
| forts"
Unpleasant subjects were not
lodged at Cincinnati.
Labor's disappointment with the
working out of certain New Deal leg
islation, it's suspicion of certain ten
denotes in government, however well
meaning, was voiced before the con-
vention.
Seeming public hostility to organ
lied labor, as indicated by recent leg
islative attempts to restrict the rights
of unions, was discussed.
The fortnight Daniel j. Tobin ex-
pressed the fear that the tide of pub
lie opinion had begun to turn against
the labor movement. And he didn't
spare union officials.

Of Charley Freer and David Kay

Kay, a much improved player,
might be holding the junior singles
title if some other opponent than
Harry Brinkerhoff had faced him
yesterday.
But Brinkerhoff, possessor of a
good all-around game lacking only
strict concentration, won The Star
plaque in three sets with Kay, 8-6

nice assortment Of strokes, the first
two sets were as even as the scores
indicate with Kay holding set point
in the 10th game of the first and
staving off three in the 14th game
before succumbing
There was some consolation for
the loser. however, as Brinkerhoff
scholastically is deficient at Central
and Kay thereby becomes WASH
ington's representative in the ma
tional interscholastic tournament at
the Merton Cricket Club in July
Freer and Kay are eligible as this

Cowan and Richardson represent

be from the same one.

Sports Spy Uncovers
Very Lowdown Dope
By JOHN LARDNER.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
NEW YORK, June z (N.ANAD.-
Cropping through the mail bag; or,
when you come to Lardner for in
formation, you are digging your own
grave:
Dear Mr.. Lardner-Your under
handed criticism Of Tony Galento
has raised a great deal of dudgeon
In my town, where the dudgeon have
not been biting for years. Allow nae
to ask you two questions, you un-
fortunate mucker, namely:
/. What have you got against
Galento?
2. How much does Joe Louis pay
you per year?
Answer these queries one at a
time. writing legibly upon one side
Of the paper only.-Nellie G.
Answer-Taking your questions in
order, Nell, here is the dope you
want
/. SIS. at odds of 5 to l.
2. In the fiscal year 1878. Joseph
Louis paid me total of s43516.7O,
discounting as usual for dependents
and non working minors under the
age of 10. Joe had me confused with
the United States Government,
which is understandable, for many
others have made the same mistake
Overland Criticism
Soon to Stort
agree with you that have just
about exhausted the possibilities for
underhanded criticism of Tony
Galento, and will proceed to switch
to overland criticism beginning this
week.
The only man who ever made q
success underhanded was Carl Mays,
the old submarine criticizer. I have
experimental with a sidearm de-
livery, but find that cannot insult
Tony fast enough by this method
and still retain my control.
Give my regards to your grand
mother, Nellie. Has she broken her
self of the opium habit?
Dear Mr. Larkin-What is con-
sidered good time?-Only Child.
Answer-I have heard people speak
very highly of Western Standard
Time, but I personally am a sucker
for Pacific daylight.
You must search your heart for
the true answer to this question,
Only Child.
Duroeher, Roised in Goblin,
Roised Right Back
Dear Mr.. Gardner-A committee
of citizens of Hohosket have pooled
their money for stamp to ask you
for information about Leo Durocher,
shortstop and manager of the
Brooklyn Dodgers. How old is
Durocher? Does he throw right
handed or left-handed? What kind
of home life does he have? Where
does Durocher get off, anyway
Humphrey w. Birdshot, Office of the
Mayor, Hohosket.
Answer-Leo St. Andrew Bona
Eide Durocher was born of poor, but
intrepid parents in Springfield,
Mass, about the time the jonquils
began to open and lift their faces to
the sun. Leo was raised in log
cabin, but he raised right back, and
subsequently won the pot with three
jacks. An expert at pool, he got so
that he could put anything at all
IN the side pocket from any direc-
ton. including his knife, handker-
chief, loose change and union card.
Durocher is shy and easy to en-
barrass. Ask him to explain his
success and he will blush furi-
ously and reply in about $4,000
words, some of more than one
syllable, some of less. You have
to get up very early in the morn
ing to fool Leo. I would not care
to say how early, but most people

SchooIboy Event
BY BILL DISMER, Jr.

Who is this Neil Lindjem? That
was the question District tennis fans
were asking themselves today on the
eve OF Lindjem's quarter final match
with Alphonso Smith in The Star
tournament tomorrow afternoon at
Edgemoor.
For LINDEN, one of three unseed-
ed players to vindicate critics pre-
dictions that not six favorites would
reach the quarters, is as unknown
as his place in the round of eight is
surprising, yet he hasn't reached
the quarter-f final bracket strictly on
the luck of the draw.
In the last three days, LINDEN
has defeated pair of pretty good
racketers in Alan Staubly and Billy
Contreras. Each time he has lost
the first set and then gone on to
take the next two. After his loss,
Staubly said he didn't think Con-
treras would have much trouble with
LINDEN, yet the former playground
champion went down to 3-6, Ga,
6-1 defeat Now LINDEN finds him
self face to face with Alphonso
Smith, still a racketer Of class Is
years after wining the boys national
championship.
Chop Stroke Main Weapon.
LINDEN, who plays on Navy Yards
team in the Departmental League,
relies mostly on a chop stroke, and
Staubly and Contreras say he is as
steady as taxes. He has won a few
tournaments in small towns but
never a major title. He came to
Washington within the last year, but
judging from his performance in his
first local tournament that was too
soon for some players.
LINDEN tackles Smith at $50
o'clock in what now looms as one
of the best of tomorrow four quar-
ter-flnal matches. Starting the four
star program will be two matches
at 4 o'clock between David johnson,
the siXth-seeded entrant, and Ralph
Buddy Adair who has serious de-
signs in the semi-final round, and
second-seeded Jimmy Farrin and
eighth-seeded Frank Shore. Two
better matches couldn't be desired
johnson, Junior champion last year,
has had one close call-Charley
Sturtevant extending him to three
long sets, but the other three have
swept all opposition. Adair's 81.
60 elimination of third-seeded
Ricky Willis yesterday may have
given him much needed confidence
and, as revealed by the scores, the
match was turned into rout after
the winner outlasted Ricky in a
marathon set.
Have Yet to Lose a Set.
Neither Shore nor Farrin has lost
set. Farrin whipped his most i'm
presSlve foe to date, Tommy Moore
head. yesterday by Ga. Ga scores
while Shore surprised even his most
ardent supporters with a 6-1, 60
rout of Billy Turner. And Turner,
one OF the Capitals better Junior
Davis Cup players doesn't take that
kind of a trouncing very often.
Not the least attIactive of the
morrow's four matches will be that
between Defending Champion Hugh
Lynch and fifth-seeded Ray Stock
linski. Stocklinski, conqueror of Dick
Murphy, may give the titleholder all
the competition he wants. Each
has knocked over three opponents
in straight sets, Lynch outclassing
