John Donlan, a sixty-five year old unemployed comrade, sentenced to the chain gang for dis- tributing leaflets in Kansas City, was brutually murdered on January 6th by the lackies of cap- italist justice. Jim Allen, editor of the “Southern: Worker,” writes on some other victim gang: “Recently there crept into a secluded spot of some Southern. newspapers, two chain gang incidents. On a chain gang in North Carolina a Negro pris- oner was shot to death by a camp guard because he threw stones at him. At Cordele, Georgia, a twenty-three year old Negro chain gang prisoner was killed by a guard because he was “boisterous.” Another prisoner, Willie Bellanmy, died in a North Carolina chain gang camp from “sweat box” treatment, and being hit over the head with a blackjack while confined to the box. In most cases deaths on chain gangs go by “unnoticed. except for the official evasion, “died of natural causes.” A few years ago a murder in the Schloss-Scho- field Company, where a prisoner was leased to the Steel Co.. and where the prisoner for ‘the non-performance of the task assigned to him was dipped br the warden into a vat of boiling water. At the trial a few years later. exposes showed that the warden had injected poison into the cooked bodv of the convict, in order to make it apnear as though he had committed suicide. These are some of the horrors of the chain gang. the weapon of the southern ruling class to scare away organizers and to keep the south- ern workers in subjection. These states are not part of the Soviet Union but of the bosses, U. S. A. It is another hangover like lynch law from the fuedal eves. At the present time in Bir- mineham. Alebams. four of our organizers are threatened with this enslavement. The chain gang is ysed for work on the roads, in the quarries. on the prison farms, in the cyp- press swamps of Mississippi and Alabama, or in the tyrpentine swamps of Georgia: The shackles are welded on the prisoner's ankles 2s soon as he is confined to the Convict Camp. There is just about enough room for the pris- oner to walk, and work. In many of the states the prisoner is permitted to buy the release of the ball and chain. amounting to about $25 a month. Often the guard allows the prisoner to attempt a runaway. then, the bond which he nvt eown for this “freedom” automatically goes into the hands of the warden. or it is divided up, be- tween the guard and the warden. A prisoner can be senterced to slave on the chain ganz from one day to ten years. After ten years he is giver the privilege of toiling on the state factories. ‘Workers heve been seni to the chaip gant even befor ssritence is handed Yown, and work fo s hata’ they know just how much tim? ‘The Negro w of the south, is ¢ chain ganr.

Tawrence Hogan. of the Federated Press. tells ef conditions on the Chain Gang in the Jan. 10 insue of “labor News” “When.° prisoner first comes to the chain gang, all his possessions, in- cluding clothes are taken away from him.” “Fr js riven a bed or bunk with sheets of blue denim o> overall cloth which lohg-titne prisoners told me had not been laundered for years.” When one man gets throuch with the bed clothes they are simply set aside for the next man. The beds are covered with the largest bedbugs I ever Saw, one neyer knows what disease the last oc- cupant of the bed may have had.” “The first bed they gave me was between a man with tuberculosis and a syphilitic. We all used the seme wash basin and toilet, regardless of diseases.” “The men are working from daylight to dark. winter and summer, regardless of cold or heat. ‘The only thing they stop for is rain. Last sum- Mer while it was so hot the men were worked until they fell. completely exhausted; then they were carried to the shade for a few minutes. If-they are sick, they are -allowed to stay in until a doctor comes; then, if he orders them to work. they have to go out or get whipped.” All forms of brutality are forced upon the pris- Reine sed on the oners. Ninety per cent of the penalties are im- posed upon them, for “non-performance of tasks.” Whipping posts, stocks, sweat boxes, punishment cells, starvation diets, and other ferms of torture are inflicted upon the helpless convicts. The National Society of Penal Information in its annual report on American prisons and re- a rart asyloited worker | formatories, says: “The objection in most of these casgs to the use of punishment cells ap- pears to be based on the fact that time is lost from work and the fear that, especially on the farms when work is heaviest, there would be a tendency on the part of men to consider work | more ofa punishment than confinement in the | punishment cells, even on a restricted diet.” This not only exposes the viciousness of work in the prisons, but also shows just how much the National Society of Penal Information cares about the welfare of the prisoners placed in “institutions for correction” rather in institu- tions for exploitation of the prisoners for private profit. Jesse F. Steiner in his book “The North Car- olina Chain Gang,” brings out that the yearly committement of prisoners to county swamps outnumber those sent to the state prison by more than ten to one. “Without doubt,” he says, “the motive underlying the establishment and the | continuance of the county chain gang is pri- marily economic.” This can be easily proved by the fact that nothing is cared about the pris- oner himself, but, about the amount of labor that he turns out. The county arranges with a private contractor for the sale of the labor power of the prisoners, or else the state orders all pris- oners to be used for road work. Max Gardner, Governor of North Carolina, ordered convicts to work on the roads only a little while ago. It is much cheaper than to hire free labor, even at the miserable low rate laborers are paid in North Carolina. A county in Alabama boasted the fact that {t was far cheaper to feed their prisoners than to care for their mules. It cost them 55 cents a day to feed a mule, and only 141-2 cents to feed a convict. The diet given to the chain gang victims. 4s certainly not fit for a dog. “They are fed. flour gravy. salt pork and grits for breakfast. and soup, beans, and potatoes for dinner, and supover. The food is cooked in so much grease that the water boys have to carry soda to give the men for stomach burn.” (Fed. Press). Sleeping quarters are of the worst. In many eases the prisoner even sleeps in his chains. Often in the camps small tents are pitched, and from 18 to 20 cots are thrown into them. The | beds are often so close together that the pris- oners have to climb over one another in order to reach their flop. Roy Brown of North Car- olina describes jone of the common movable “One of the most common types of ms still in use in many of the coun- is the wooden or ste] structure mounted on heels whieh i§ ponnlarlv snoFen of as the cage, c2mns, mayekte nr beesuse of its resemblonee to the cages in which | nels are confined.” These “cages” are ‘ally ebovt 18 feet lone. from 7 to 8 feet h and wide, They are arsiened to previde ping room for 13 m=, (m2 men to a foot.) ™ do not 1 ote, debt foread to wor" oa dent thew 4 silent ehout the horrible trestment of the southern eonvicts. re * heard of the mrmdors of the suner- eoniatted Neoro prisoners.

They must fight tooth and nail to defend the Soviet Union Hawes-Cooper Bill. A word here about the Hawes-Cooper Bill passed in Congreks, and which will take effect in 1934. This is a bill which divests prison made goods of interstate commerce privileges and thus allows the individual states to bicker and fight over the problem of marketing their products. The struggle is in reality simply the eo~netition of one state prison factory, farm, or | mill against the other. It in no way solves the misery of. the prisoners their hours, or increase their wage. It does not relieve them of the contract systems. It is merely concerned with the marketing of the prison products which suffer greatly from com- petition with other prisons.

Accidents On Construction Work and Workmen’s Compensation By A. PETERSON. , Article IT. ‘The United States of America, the richest cap- italist country in the world is way behind even other capitalist countries in social legislation. ‘Workingmen’s compensation is part of it. Now let us see some facts: The first uniform laws of compensation for industrial accidents were established in Ger- many in 1884, in Austria in 1887, in Norway 1894. It means that in the countries where the work- ing-class was organized to the realization that their economical struggle against the bosses’ government. In countries like Germany, Austria and Norway the working-class pressure forced on the government adequate compensation and __ other social legislaiton. In ths U.S, A., however, it was not until 1902 the state of Maryland enacted an insur- for industeial accidents which was declared unconstitutional. Same happened in Montana in 1909, same happened with the first com- pensation law in ‘New York state which was enacted in 1910, same happened with 9 more state compensation laws which were declared unconstitutional, Now, let us go away from the past to the pres- ent industrial compensation laws for workers in U.S.A. Four states, South Carolina, Arkansas, Missis- sippi and Florida have no compensation laws at all. Only 12 states amended their laws to cover occupational diseases and in all but five states | only certain ennumerated diseases are included, those disqualifying a majority of injured. Generally, these different qualifications, dis- qualifications, determinations and terminations makes the workingmen’s state compensation Jaws in the U. S. A. far from being simple and in practice, the injured worker has the sad ex- It does hot shorten | perience of dealing with lawyers who surely know their value. Now let us see what compensation the injured is getting at best: For temporary disabilities: In fourteen states 66 2-3 per cent of the wages; sevem states, 65 per cent; three states, 55 per cent; Hawaii and the: rest 50 per cent. Thirty-four states have a maximum number of weeks during) which temporary compensation may be paid, or maximum number of dollars that may be paid: This maximum limit ranges from 1,500 to 8,500. All these laws except thos~ in Orgeon and South Dakota provide for + waiting period after the -accident during which no compensation is paid. In five states it is less than a week; in 29 states it is seven days, in three states it is 10 and in four, it is 14 days. We have also the docking of the waiting period if the disability is less than a fixed number of woeks. > Yor permanent total disabled and permanent vartial disabled workers dg not fare better than ‘emnorary disabled. In these cases the lawyers henefit most. ° The general results are: that the 50 per cent er even the 66 2-3 per cent is not enough to maintain the existence and in the thirty four states where the maximum limit is set it simply means that where the injured worker is disabled for a longer period he or she is not getting any- thing and is left to starvation plus doctor and medicine expenses. Not to speak about. those who remain with a crippled hand, foot ete. The determination when a disabled is fit to vo back to his occupation puts many of the category of workers in quite a miserable hole. Compensation in Case of Death. Nine states and Alaska pay to the dependent: in case of death of the worker, a lump sum rang- ing from the total of 2,000 to 5,130 (exception is Alaska where maximum is 17,800). How a helpless widow can be secured with such a sum for a lifetime, remains a question, unless she is ina position to go to work in a factory. Twenty-four states are paying the dependent weekly payments which range from 6.75 to 14.75 a week setting a maximum amount which it shall not exceed. This maximum amount ranges from ~ total of 3,000 to a total of 7,200. Only six states are paying for life or until remarriage of dependent widow or widower. This pay ranges on an average of $10.44 weekly. And on top of all this is the business with law- yers, courts and the state compensation boards hyocritically claiming to represent the workers but in reality serving the employers. | A striking example of a court procedure was a case in the state of New York where a gang | leader (foreman) employed in construction work | by. McCarthy V. Walsh Construction Company | was killed November 21, 1926 and the case was dragged and dragged because the company claimed that the foreman was crossing the track looking for a drink although all the evidence proyed ‘time and again that he was searching for the material to prepare for the gang work | for the next day. ‘That these compensation laws are inadequate, obscure and in operation eyen rotten, is known not only to the’ workers, but even the A. F. of L. union officials are forced to admit that our state compensation laws are inadequate. The excuse that these labors fakers give, is that legislation is often passed in ignorance or oversight of the inevitable consequences. It is the class character of our laws. Only by organizing into militant industrial unions and into the political party of their own class strug- gle, into the Communist’ Party of the U. S. A. Only by these methods will the workers be in a Position to bring mass pressure and to force «these capitalist politicians to enact more ade- quate compensation laws, better safety codes in the interest of the workers.” Workers!

DRIVE for the Chinese markets which will put all previous efforts of the imperialists in the shade, is rapidly maturing. Very, soon the Pittman Senate sub-committee will render its report on what steps the United States should take to win a greater share of the Chinese mar- kets. Preliminary statements on what this re- port will be have already sent Britain, Canada, and Japan scurrying. Canada has entered the field as a new con- tender for Chinese markets. It now develops that H. H. Stevens, Canadian Minister of Trade and Commerce during the sessions of the last Im- perial Conference in London, proposed to Mac- Donald and the British bankers that a huge loan be granted to the Nanking government to stimulate trade with Canada and Britain. What fate this proposal met has not been made clear, But the fact remains@hat Stevens came to New York and took the matter up with Owen D. Young. Evidently, MacDonald and the British bankers did_not look with favor ugon the inde- pendent attitude of the rising imperialists of Canada, At the same time the Pittman. sub-committee has been holding éxtended hearings on China. The conclusions of this committee have been made public, Pittman is the deading silver mag- nate of Nevada. The price of silver has been | dropping sharply, and silver is the leading mon- | ey commodity of China, Pittman proposes that the United States government grant a loan of $250,000,000 in silver to China (that is, to Chiang Kai Shek) to aid it in exterminating the reds, and to bolster up its weakened government. The plan will be ‘perfected under the leadership of the House of Morgan. Senator Pittman has called before shim Owen D. Young, T. W. La- mont and B. M. Baruch. Undoubtedly Owen D. Young is called at his own request. because H. H. Stevens, of Canada, after his conversation with Young, announced that this Wall Street banker looked very favorably on a plan for a substantial loan to China to stabilize that market for American and Canadian goods. The $250,000,- 000 silver loan to the Nationalist government would, of course, be highly profitable to Senator Pittman; it would rebound to the profit of Mor- gan, Lamont, Baruch and Owen D. Young, and it would be a tremendous wedge for further American penetration into China at the ex- pense of the British and Japanese. Testimony before the Pittman committee shows that the United States imperialists are not con- tent alone with strengthening the hand of their puppet Chiang Kai Shek. They are reaching into British territory in the South, especially through Wang Chin Wei, and into Japanese territory in the North. How the silver loan will work is already fore- cast by an article written by ex-Senator Frank J, Cannon, a close friend of Senator Pittman. Cannon proposes “such borrowed bullion (sil- “ ver) to be minted and put into circulation by the borrowing countries (China) under condftions fixed by the United States.” This will undoubtedly be the plan adopted by the Pittman committee. Under it, the new life which it is intended to inject into the col- lapsing Nanking, government will be completely in the hands of Wall Street. The British look at the proposal suspiciously, They have taken steps of their own to get a greater share of the Chinese market—at the expense of their chief rivals, the United States and Japan. The Jap- anese openly express their bitterness over the menacing threat of a concerted drive of Wall Street for a bigger slice of the Chinese markets. A Tokyo dispatch in the New York “Times (Jan 11) says that the Japanese press gives these Plans a great deal of prominence ‘but “shows skepticism regarding their practicalness.” The dispatch goes on to ‘say: ‘ “Japanese bankers will not entrust their clients’ money to China without stringent. safe- guards regarding the supervision of expenditures and the maintenance of assets, which the Nank- ing Government is unwilling to accept.” ‘The proposed loan, though Pittman is attempt ing to put it through under the guise of a con- sortium between Britain, France, Japan and the United States, would, as ex-Senator Cannon says, be “under conditions fixed by the United States.” Because they know what is behind the entire move, the wary-Japanese bankers insist on. conditions fixed by Japanese imperialism. Though the British attitude has not been ex- ‘Pressed in the American capitalist, press. 4), ~ precisely that of the Japanese bankers. There is a sharp cleavage between the three powers, each battling for the greatest share of the Chin- ese markets, and the latest move by the United States is a menace to their interests. The Canadian bourgeoisie, who have not yet established a definite position in China, waver between Great Britain and the United States. “Meanwhile, Premier Bennett has also taken in- dependent steps. He sent H. H. Marler, Cana- an independent loan proposal with Nanking. dian Ambassador to Japan, to China to discuss This is intended to force the hand of the United States to work more closely with Canada. The Canadians have already sold this year 15,000,- 000 bushels of wheat to China. They propose unloading 100,000,000 more bushels in order to lessen the pressure of the huge surplus at home. The British markets are declining for Canadian wheat. The increased exports of the Soviet Union to Europe, as well as the bottled-up sur- plus in the United States, are driving the Cana- dians to drastic measures. In proposing the plan to Owen D. Young, Ste- | vens of Canada placed first to necessity of ushing the revolutionary workers’ and peas- ants’. movement in China, as a preliminary to intensified penetration by the imperialist powers. “Order can only be restored by assistance from other countries,” said Stevens, “and in that as- sistance there would come an alternative to the saturated markets of Europe for the assisting of other, countries.” As the world economic crisis grows worse from day to day, with the-ledsening prospeet of the necessary markets in either Europe or the United States, the eyes of the imperialist powers turn more longingly to China and to the vast Orien- tal market.; “At this time our power of mass production has made a surplus over and above our ability to consume,” bewails ex-Senator Cannon. “We must find consumers. China has more than three times our own population.” China, he concludes, is the logical big market for the United States, He goes on to urge the silver loan by the United States government be adopted immediately. If the government doesn't do it, says Cannon, let private bankers and in- dustrialists do it. As the final spur Cannon warns them: “If neither the government nor the commerce of the. United States cares to act, the whole plan can be executed by Great Britain, which is seeking to provide markets for the pro- duet of 3,000,000 artisans now idle.” This, for ‘annon, is the straw with which to break the camel's back. If you don't do it immediately, he threatens, your leading competitor who is dying for want of markets must do it, and you lose the chance, . Some time before the definite proposals of the Pittman committee were made public, a leading article appeared in “For Industrialization,” the Soviet economic newspaper entitled, “The Strug- gle for the Chinese Market.” This article points out the sharpening rivalry in the Chinese mar- kets. It tells of the British textile mission to China seeking to win back markets lost to Japan. It points out that while the British obtained 17 per cent of the Chinese trade in 1913, it had fallen to 91-2 per cent in 1928, whereas the United States, during the. same period, had pushed up its share from 6 to 17 per cent. “Not long ago,” writes “For Industrialization,” “one journalist very successfully expressed the object of American capital in China as an attempt to reduce China into its monopolized colony. ‘China,’ he declared, ‘must be renamed the Near ‘East of America, because it is the nearest and potentially the richest market for the United States.’” This struggle for the Chinese markets has. been going on at a feverish pace for a long time. Even before the crisis it had reached such a stage that the American-controlled China Weekly Review (Shanghai) said that only the “most skillful statesmanship” could prevent war. Now that the crisis has magnified the need for markets a thousand-fold this struggle will re- double, The danger of war is rapidly increas- ing in the Far East.

One of New York's exemplary specimen, a certain Bruce Blivens, was orating Saturday at the Town Hall Club, on the subject of Latin America. So just to show either how ignorant or—more likely —how crooked he can be when the occasion | arises, he got off the following: “There are signs of....a new policy toward Latin America, as was seen in the recent ravo- lution in Panama and there will also be a change in the policy toward Nicaragua.” ‘The point he makes is that there was “a revo- lution” in Panama, yet the U. S. did not send the Marines in. This ass or hypocrite—he can have, the choice of being one or the other— appears absolutely innocent of the fact that the United States organized that “revolution” and consequently had no reason to do more than give it its blessing—which was done. Another fine example of “liberalism” is that of the Scripp-Howard newspapers, all supposedly beral.” From the Buffalo Times of January 19, in an editorial on the Fish Committee re- port, in speaking of Fish, this Scripp’s paper says: “He wants to deport alien Communists. We see no reason why that si6uldn’t be done.” een w Beg Your Pardon! Those of our readers who, when trying to de- cipher the blurred spots of the Daily, are in- clined to swear none too gently, should be ad- vised that their cuss-words are as the babblings of innocent babes besides our own over the same typographical defects. One reader of Cleveland, after receiving the special Lenin edition, with the picture of Lenin appearing as if he was being covered with a, thick haze of fog or blinding snow, wrote to ask us if this was a telephoto picture of Lenin. More, he complained that the whole page was printed with such little ink that the reading was completely illegible, but still enough ink to oe it as possible material for scratch paper. le didn’t write in his cuss words, but undoubtedly used ’em vocally. And so did we. In the getting out of the Daily there is mote than one way of these defects showing up in spite of all editorial care. Briefly, it is because our Jack of funds to install the best mechanical equipment makes it necessary to try to get along with that which we have—and that which we have is both inadequate and faulty. We are just as frantic as any reader can be when defects result, but though we go without most of our wages and do everything possible and impossible to turn out the best paper we’ can, still these mechanical atrocities continue. We are doing all we can here to improve the equipment, but if there’s any moral to this story at all, it is that every reader in all parts of the country take a lively personal interest in rais- ing two things: 1, The thirty thousand dollar “Emergeney Fund.” 2.

Mayor Walker, reported “organically sound’— just like the economic structure of this country according to Hoover—is nevertheless sick in bed. John Curry is taking a few cronies and going for a long cruise in the Caribbean sea, with th> house afire at home. He is also in the best of health but “needs a rest” and a season at play- ing checke-s with others of the tribe. The Wigwam is filled with the sound of blows as investigation after investigation shrieks shrilly ‘round the doors. It is rumored that some of the gang have a band of headhunters out to get the Al Smith crowd that was looting the bank of U. S, and that the Smith crowd has a counter attack going full blast to uncover the swamp of police crookedness and judicial grafs of the city administration headed by Messrs. Walker and Mulrooney. In all this mess, the person of one Grover Whalen stands yet a bit in the sade. What has happened? Has Glorious Grover Whalen lost hist taste for publicity? Or have the backers of the Seabury inquiry forgotten that Mr. Whalen ought to be made to talk a bit on what he did with the evidence furnished in Acuna’s little black book against cops who grafted on prostitution and framed up women? Can it be that Glorious Grover himself was interested in concesling this for personal reasons? Or is it that the “investigators” are interested in con- cealing it? g . Also, there were a few matters of duplicated payrolls of Wanamaker store and police depart- ment jemployees. We do not expect, of course, that the “investigation” will ever touch upon the strange connection -between Whalen and the Czarist anti-Soviet espionage and forgery or- ganization of Rj ff, who is also a gamb- ¢ ling house proprietor. Capitalist “investigations” of capitalism have their limitations, ‘They are never designed to help the workers. Nevertheless, it is distressing for a mayor who is “organically sound” and a police commissioner who is ruggedly honest,” right in the middle of a Police Inspector “investigation” of the police department, for two dicks attached to the Chief Inspector's office to be asked to explain how they happen to have $55,000 in their peans, unless they are “collectors” of police graft for som mighty prominent people.
