It employs from 5 to 10 workers in every store, about 100 altogether: The conditions under which we work are terrible. We} are worked 15 hours every week day. On Saturday and before holidays when people prepare for a good time} we get particular hell for 20 hours a day. For this kind of back-breaking work we get $15 to $25 a weck and to get these $25 a week you got to be a firsi-class, cracker-jack experi- enced worker. The managers in every one of these stores are all good, ioyal slaves and ave-drivers of the company and y {eat and drive us workers bru- tally. On Saturdays we often are not given @ chance to go for lunch until 7 o'clock in the evening, after re- porting 7 o'clock in the morning. ome of these workers that get this kind hi atiment are youngsters ‘as for Saturday for one; ar 5D hours work. of Get Tuberculosis Aud we, most of us free and in- endent Americai born citizens, dere not even put up a kick against not even speak to on¢ ‘out it, for fear of being One of u 20, got tubercu! @ young man of; on the job, work-: jing under these inhuman conditions ;Many of us break down and quit.; Then after we look around and find | how impossible it is to find a job dur- |ing these hard times, we go back to |the Mack Fruit Co. hat in hand bef- |ging for our old jobs.

The League protests also against the arrest of hundreds of militant workers, Communists as well as rank and file Apristas, and calls upon the workers of the United States to sup- port the workers and peasants of Peru, ruthlessly exploited and per- secuted by the Sancho Cerro govern- ment, Explains the Recent Movement “The Sancho Cerro Government’ — the Anti-Imperialist League declares, “is branding the recent movement as a Communist uprising, charging the Apristas who seem to have inspired it, with being Communists. . . . De- feated in the recent presidential elec- tions, the Apristas have followed the other capitalist parties in staging an attempt to seize power by a military strike. But these leaders took no part in the uprising. Fearing the revolu- tionary might of the workers and peasants, they confined thei? activ- ities to trying to win the soldiers and the sailors. The Aprists leaders, like Heya de la Torre, their candidate for president, were in hiding while those whom they egged on, were engaging in struggle.” After pointing out how the world economic crisis hit Peru, whose chief products—sugar, copper, oil, wool, rice and rubber—declined in value, and after recalling how wages were drastically reduced—in 1928 men working on the sugar plantations earned 70 cents for a day longer than eight hours—the Anti-Imperialist League further declares that the workers and peasants, under these in- creasingly miserable conditions, are ready “to support any movement which they thing will change the conditions,” The Apristas Support British Im- perialism The Apristas, the statement de- clares, are “in the camp -of the re- actionary elements of Peru.” They “claim for the petty bourgeoisie in- tellectuals the leading role in the ag- rarian anti-imperialist revolution.” They are “lined up with British im- perialism ...., for internationalism received numerous warnings. |Peru which aim to free themselves imperialism but not perialism.” “The Anti-Imperialist League de-| clares its sympathy with the move- ment of the workers and peasants of against all im- (a) from American, which is dom- inant, anr British imperialism; (b) to take over without payment all im- perialist mines, plantations, banks, lands, ete., and to nationalize them; (c) to confiscate without compensa- tion the lands of the rich landown- ers and to divide them among the toiling peasants.” | Protesting against the outlawing| of the Communist Party of Peru, the} Anti-Imperialist League demands the} end of the martial law and holds the Hoover Hunger and War Govern- ment responsible as the “instigator of NORFOLK, va- _ red J.

Bennett's government in Canada, un- der the infamous Section 98 provision of the Canadian criminal code. “These men were arrested secretly at the dead of night,” says the Can- adian Labor Defense League, in a manifesto denouncing this shanghai- ing tyranny, “and without trial or hearing or opportunity of communi- cating with friends, immediately transferred under heavy guard to Halifax, a distance of up to 2,000 miles, “Fathers have been diknapped from | their families, yet the Manitoba and Vancouver courts have just handed down a decision that the Winnipeg and Vancouver men cannot be return- ed to their homes, for the police kid- nappers acted in accordance with ‘the requirements of the law.’ “In Halifax these men are not al- of the Panama Canal, against Yankee lowed to communicate with their Delegation to Doak Issues Statement on Edith Berkman Case The delegation representing 19 workers’ organizations, which fent to Secretary of Labor Doak to demand release of Edith Berkman, has issued the following statement: “Edith Berkman, after being kept in jail for 31 weeks, where sha has contracted tuberculosis, decided to go on a hunger strike, to protect her illegal arrest, Edith Berkman is now on the tenth day of her hunger strike. “On Tuesday, May 10, a delegation representing the National Textile Workers Union, Ex-Servicemen’s Lea- International Labor “Defense, Committee for the Protection of the Foreign Born, and other working class organizations, called on the Secretary of Labor Doak in Washington to de- mand of him the immediate release of Edith Berkman, “Edith Berkman is held without bail on a deportation warrant issued by the Departmeht of Labor.

Edith Berkman is refused bail, though seriously ill of tuberculosis, Secretary Doak point-blank refused the request of our delegation for the release of Edith Berkman. Develop Solidarity “Today it is clearly seen that there is only one power that can effect the release of Edith Berkman; that power is the united action of masses of workers of the United States.

The Editor, Daily Worker: The Daily Worker's policy of printing longwinded, high brow, editorials di- rected against the social-fascists, re- minds us (some of us), of a story— which we hope you will read before this lands in the waste basket. Mrs, Common People, had two little sons; and the two little sons were trying to secure their mother's in- terest in their own financial prob- lems. One of ths little boy’s names was, Socialist; and the other little fellow's name, was Communist. So Mrs. Common People, said, “Boys, let's come to an understanding. Both of you make me all kinds of Promises, but I'm tired of promises. I want some real evidence of your ability to help me, before I join either oneof you, in giving you help. So I'll tell you what I'll do. I've got a front Jawn problem here, that is one of my main worries. We'll divide the lawn in half and whoever cuts the grass best, gets my help.” And so it came to pass, that the two two little half-brothers (1 forgot to tell you they were only half brothers), started to cut the lawn. But one little fellow kept running to his mother all the time, telling her that Socialist was doing a rotteen job; that he was skimming over the lawn, to deceive his mother; that he was covering up the weeds, instead of pulling them out; and, oh, you just should have heard what he was tell- ing his other, Mrs. Common People. And 40 it came to pass, that before little, Communist had even had a fair everything little Communist had told his mother was true, the mother, Mrs. Common People was’nt convinced.
