Jag Agricultural Workers Rallying for Fight Under T. U. U. L. Leadership 4 (By a Worker Correspondent) SEATTLE, Wash.—Attacks on Filipino workers in the Northwest are becoming increasingly violent. The most recent occurred in Kent, Washington, and in the White River Valley where hundreds of young Filipinoes are working on truck farms. Armed bands of hoodlums came down night after night and threatened the Filipinoes. Many were kidnapped, beaten, and stripped and left miles from the town. Finally Highway Patrolman McGill was sent down to “protect” the Filipinos, the same McGill who led the brutal attack on the peaceful workers’ demonstration on May 1. A detachment of soldiers was also sent down, The soldiers, instead of being there to protect the Filip- inos, joined in abusing them, saying, “You goddam Filipinos, you take the white man’s job.” The reason given for the attacks is that the Filipinos, lured to this country by promises of good wages and unable to get work in the coast cities, are forced by starvation to take the low wages. The bosses dis- criminate against them and pay them 25c an hour for packing lettuce, the same work for which they used to pay 60c an hour to white work- ees. The efforts of the bosses to keep the workers separated on race lines by encouraging these attacks is shown by the fact that several business men offered to bail out the only raider that was arrested. The courts and police, however, saved them the trouble by immediately releasing him. Since then there have been other attacks on Vashon Island, where 70 Filipinos work in a box factory. Two houses, one with seven and the other with five Filipino workers, were dynamited and the workers narrowly escaped injury. The A. F. of L. is even more violent in its attacks on the Filipinos, James Taylor, president of the State Federation of Labor, is especially | vicious in calling them untrustworthy, unclean, immoral. He says that it may be all right to send missionaries to the Philippine Islands to give them religion, but he does not believe in organizing Filipino workers, | In Seattle there is a “philanthropic” organization which poses as being the friend of the Filipino. They have a sign on the door saying “Jobs for Men, Women, and Filipinos,” thus making the Filipines an- other species of animal. And besides, the sign is a fake as they haven't any jobs. After the raids at Kent, members of the Trade Union Unity League and of the Young Communist League went down and talked to the Filipinos, the majority of whom are young workers. Ags a result, a delegation came to the John Porter meeting, and six of them joined the T. U. U. L. The Filipino workers are learning that they must join an organization that fights against discrimination and for the interests of the workers of all races. —SEATTLE WORKER, DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK = \ , FRIDAY, JUNE ( — Page Three (COURTS SOFT ON FASCIST KILLERS Al |\Postpone V.

They hired a horse and wagon with banners on which were printed T. U. U. L. slogans. The council formed behind the wagon, 50 in number, and started from their headquarters at 900 S. Paulina for the scene of the demonstration singing “Solidarity Forever" and other worker’s songs. When they arrived at the house from which the worker had been evicted, 836 S. Miller, speakers got up and using the wagon as a plat- form, explained the reason of the demonstration, whom it was held by, ete, A crowd of several hundred sympathetic workers, the majority of whom were Negroes gathered and manifested great enthusiasm when the speakers explained that the council intended to open the flat and remove the furniture and other helongings of the worker who had been locked out. A committee was formed who compelled the landlord to open the flat. After the flat had been emptied, the workers gathered in a small park which was nearby and discussed unemployment and conditions in general. Quite a few of them joined the unemployed council, This demonstration only shows a little of what can be done by an active council and the results that can be gained from such affairs. All the councils in the city are getting busy preparing for the great national conventioin of the unemployed. Monday, June 2, we are starting with a tag day.

Let ‘em Starve PITTSBURGH, Pa, — For the third time in recent weeks the well paid, urbane heads of Pittsburgh legalized panhandlers with bell, book and candle have sought to exer- cise the demon of want. A com- mittee representing 16 social agen- cies has finally and solemnly de- clared “that there is not—and has not been—need for a breadline in Pittsburgh” and that “the city can meet the problem of the homeless man more constructively.” Meanwhile, on June 1, the Ford plant laid off 500 men. The Modern Homes Corporation has announced |that only six of its advertised 22 residences will be built. The sharpness of the facts has led the Pittsburgh Press, the only local paper that printed pictures of breadlines, to declare editorially: |“The House of Representatives, | fearing Communism, has ordered an | investigation of alleged red propa- !ganda, but two measures designed to remedy unemployment _ still slumber in a House committee. The House, instead of stopping the leak which threatens to inundate us in a flood of misery, will try to bail out the rising tide of discontent with a tin cup.” ‘ .

Muste, acting as Chairman of the meeting said the C.P.L.A, was for a republic of workers in India. But then, the principal speakers on India |were J.
