They de- mand a wage raise and shorter hours work. The strikers are led by the Agricultural Workers Industrial League of the Trade Union Unity League. The strike is spreading fast and enthusaism runs high. Farm committees are being elected | to form the basis of organization into a real union, and rank and file com- mittees have control of the strike. ‘The strikers appeal for food and clothing to enable them to stay out until victory is won NEW YORK.—Bakersfield is an old oi} region in California. It is iocated in the south central part of the state, about 300 miles south of San Fran- ciseo, on land that used to be desert but is now partially irrigated. Wheat farming has recently been giving way to fruit, truck and cotton farming. Presumably it is in these latter indu- stries that the strike takes place. Early this year, in the Imperial Valley, still farther south, the A. W. L. L. led a big strike and was as- sembling a convention to form an agricultural workers industrial union when the gathering was broken UP | by wholesale arrests.

The International La- bor Defense points out these récor are direct proot of the malicious- ness, crookedness and Mand in glove policy with fascist ambassadors that | | percolates the Department of Labor. | When the attorney for the I. L. D. asked a “voluntary departure” for! Serio in order to avoid a firing squad in Italy where he is wanted for his} anti-fascist activities, it seemed to have worried the immigration authorities if Serio had enough money to pay his passage. Serio was | to go to Russia where his welcome as | a political refugee no one disputed The Board of Review said: A Trick To Kill Serto, “Irrespective of the merits of the case, since it is quite obvious that the | alien could not avail himself of the| privilege if it were granted, to grant | it would be a mere idle gesture and | would result in delay without ac- | complishing any good. For this rea- son it should be denied. It is recom- | mended that application for permis- | sion to depart voluntarily be denied.” | The Department of Labor knows very well, the I. L. D. statement points out, that the steamship ticket was produced as evidence, and that the Soviet Union has its doors wide open to workers escaping persecution | at the hands of capitalist govern- ments. The statement by the I. L. D. points out that much of the ques- tioning of Serio was in relation to his anti-fascist activities in Italy and America, but since he could not be “legally” deported for that, the Department of Labor proceeded to THE ADVENTURES OF BILL WORKER Don'T YOU KATOW THAT bes 1 Tad VER.
