It is just that to the capitalists here. They find conditions just to suit them, Very low wages, long working hours, unions of no sort, not even the A. F. of L.; the laws exactly suitable to the capitalists, none of the annoying child labor laws, workers’ benefit laws or such of the East. Unemployment is very severe here. It is estimated at about 91-2 to 10 per cent, or about 150,000 workers. The large factories such as Ford, Goodyear Rubber, Firestone Rubber, etc., are constantly laying off! Every day sees thousands of workers lined up outside the gates of these mills. Vain hopes. The cost of living is very high. While it is true that rent is less, is is also true that foodstuffs, with the exception of only citrus fruits, are very high. The vagrancy laws of Los Angeles are extremely vicious. There are no dismissals when a worker is brought into court. Once in a while he eives a suspended sentence. Which only means double sentence if ever is arrested again. In Pasadena they hold regular roundups of “un- sirable” citizens. Workers caught in these raids are either thrown out town or sentenced to jail from 30 to 120 days. Those workers who have the “fortune” to get work are victims of the speed-up beyond reason. The boss is constantly standing over them, cursing and threatening. ounce of their energy, they do not produce enough to satisfy the cravings of their employers, out they go. They are then forced to wait until pay- day for their money, But a new light has begun to shine in Southern California. The Com- munist Party and the Young Communist League, together with the T. U. U. L,, is now beginning real active work, due to their effective propa- ganda. —R.
