1 Cotton Pickers Win) Wage Increase, Now’ Want Recognition 800 Armed _ Deputies | Are Repulsed by Strikers SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 31—Eight- een thousand cotton pickers in a vic- torious fight forced the growers of San Joaquin Valley into paying 5c per hundred pounds for picking cot- ton. This is an increase of 35¢ over last year and 15c over the 60c offered this year and totals to an increase of over $500,000. The finance companies flatly re- fused, to settle on any basis with “Comfnunists” until Gov. Rolph an- nounced that “Sixty cents is a fair price, but give 75c to stop the spread of Communism.” With this victory the workers voted 100 per cent to stay out until they had won union recognition and a signed agreement from the growers in order to assure this increase. | When State Commissioner of Labor | MacDonald spoke to the workers at Cocoran Camp and advised the work- ers that they “were obliged to return to work,” he was jeered from the stand. The workers in Corcoran Camp also wired protests to President Cal- les protesting the lying and provok- ing activities of the Mexican Coun- cil, Bravo. In a desperate attempt to break the ranks of the workers before a final settlement had been reached, 800 armed deputies marched on Camp Cocoran to evict the strikers, but when they were met with the or- ganized resistance of 5,000 workers, they changed their minds and beat a hurried retreat. Seven of the nine growers who were arrested in the Pixley massacre have been released, and in their stead seven workers have been charged with murder. Pat Chambers is held on Criminal Syndicalism, and 60 work- ers are held on charges of “rioting.” Many workers are going back to work as scores of small growers are signing union agreements with the O.A.W.LU. Not a worker in the val- ley has returned without these agree- ments. State Police Sent to Aid Scab Trucks Strikers Burn Truck in Massachusetts BOSTON, Oct. 31—To protect seab-driven trucks, 125 state troop- ers and 35 radio-equipped cars armed with machine guns, rifles and tear- gas bombs, were sent into central and western Massachusetts today. The truck drivers are striking for higher wages and union recognition. In an effort to break the strike, the bosses have been hiring scabs, send~ ing them out in large convoys. A group of pickets stopped a convoy of 20 scab-driven trucks today on Charlton Hill, Springfield-Boston highway. They poured gasoline on one of the trucks and bfrned it. Five others were damaged, and the rest stoned, The scabs were driven into town and complained to the police. US. Afraid to Count Closed Textile Mills NEW YORK.—So widespread has been the closing down of cotton mills in the South because of lack of any business, that the capitalist press and government agencies are deliberately refraining from taking any account of the number of closed factories. This was indicated today by the following excerpt from the New York Journal of Commerce, leading fin- ancial and commercial paper of Wall Street, which states: “An actual census of closed mills and idle machinery since the re- sistance to price advances devel- oped in the markets and began to shut off orders has not yet been taken. For many reasons such a census is not welcome at this time.” Negro Longshoremen Smash Jim Crowism on Furness Dock PHILADELPHIA, Pq., Oct. 31.—Ne- gro longshoremen on the Furness Line here delivered a smashing blow at the Jim-Crowism practiced by the company on the job. Unloading the aft of a ship, the draft or load to each sling was 15 bags for the Ne- groes, while up forward the white workers were unloading nine. The men then talked it over and went, into action. Nine bags came up. Attempts to intimidate the men failed and finally the boss agreed to call eleyen bags a full draft, to which the men agreed. Progress Under the NRA for ‘First Class’ Carpenters in Chicago NEW YORK.—Bearing a _ post mark cancellation stamp reading “Century of Progress” an envelope was received in the Daily Worker office with a clipping from the ad- vertising section of the Chicago Daily Tribune, Oct. 27. With the penciled notation, “Un- der the Blue Eagle,” the following advertisement is encircled: “Carpenter First class; $10 weekly; apply 3942 Indiana Ave., 1st Apartment.” STRIKERS HALT SCABS SOUTHBRIDGE, Mass., Oct. 31— One hundred striking truckmen way- Jaid several trucks near Charlton to- day and drove scab drivers from the cabs, One truck was burned com- pletely by fitc, another truck was Red Squad Ordered Out to Smash Dress Strike in California LOS ANGELES, Oct. 31—In an effort to break the garment strike, city officials and police have ordered Hynes of the Red Squad to make wholesale arrests of picketing strikers. “Bring them in by the wagon load and we'll issue charges against them and see if this disorder can’t be stopped.” ‘The “disorder” is the attempt of the scabs to break through the picket lines with the armed aid of the po- lice, which is being repulsed by the militant picketers. Simultaneously with the above an- nouncement of wholesale arrests, came the discovery of a manufac- turers’ plot to bribe police officials and policemen to beat up and arrest garment strikers in an effort to break the strike. Acgording to the state- ment of Police Sergeant Malburg, he was paid $150 in cash and promised $650 more by Jack Morrison, “manu- facturers’ agent.” Morrison is being held.” Red Candidates on Phila.

SINGLE JOBLESS IN CHICAGO GET NO WINTER COAL; WORK FOR 25¢ A DAY Police on Hand to “Keep Order” in Fire-eTrap Where Hundreds Are Forced to W (By a Worker Correspondent) CHICAGO, IIL, Oct. 31—The single men getting relief through the Clear- ing House for Men, on asking for coal, now are told that no coal will be dssued this winter. This is a direct attempt to force all the single men into the flop houses rather than give them a five dollar a month grocery order, This will bring a ter- rible hardship on those compelled to live in those so-called shelférs, In asking for clothes the new rule now is that in order for the men to get a single article they must first take off the old shirt or other item before a new one is given. This prevents a person the luxury of possessing more than ene pilose of clothing at a time. partly burned, No one was reported The case workers, who still act DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, WEDN. Tiger Sweats N. Y. Relief Workers in Pre-Election Rush Spy System of City Now in Full Force, Worker Charges (By a Relief Worker) NEW YORK.—"“Relief Workers Protest Hours,” says the World-Tele- gram of Oct. 30. What makes the Telegram to solicitous of the workers’ welfare at the present time? The following quotation from the same column will tell: “In a statement circulated by a group which is endeayoring to or- ganize the relief workers, it is held that the last minute jam (on relief rolls) is due to the desire of Tam- many to register as many as pos- sible in jobs before election. Those circulating the statement complain also of the slowness of pay and the ‘spy system.” What the Telegram is careful to omit is the real wording of the state- ment circulated by the Relief Work- ers Committee, which reads: “Where is the well-advertised pro- tection of the Blue Eagle—the N.R.A. —for the City Work Bureau and Home Relfef workers of New York City. “In order that Tammany may register 40,000 work relief cases be- fore election, we are forced to work all hours. We must get in at 8:30 and in many instances work as late a8 7 p.m. with only a half hour for lunch. Our two chief slave-drivers, Messrs. Hutchinson and Behrent, both Tammany henchmen, are un- tiring in their efforts to register as many as possible, with the result that we are being driven to death. Why cannot some of the millions of un- employed be hired for this work? “The spy system in the City Work- ers Bureau, as well as the Home Re- lief is most efficient. There is plenty of money for the hiring of stool- pigeons who do little all day but watch the workers. Not a word of complaint is spoken but that some stool carries the tale to a higher- up. The method of transferring work- ers from one place to another is used for the purpose of stopping them from becoming friendly with each other, because they might be able to discuss their grievances and organ- ization.” ‘The Telegram’s solicitousness is not for the workers in the City Work Bureau. It is interested only in at- tacking Tammany, in order to get support for the Fusion candidate, LaGuardia, whose agents are already busy in the City Work Bureau as well as the Home Relief, making promises to relief workers of better jobs if they support Fusion. La Guardia, candidate of a group of bankers, opposes any raise in rélief appropriations. It is no accident that the most important part of the “statement,” which reads in par: “To better your conditions, write to—‘Relief Workers Committee, Office Workers Union, Room 303, 80 E. 11th St.,” is left out.

Wil- liam L. Patterson, national secre- tary of the LL.D., at once wired a vigorous protest to the Virginia authorities denouncing the failure to properly guard Crawford as a deliberate provocation to the lynch gangs seeking his life. Trial Soon RICHMOND, Va., Oct. 31.—George Crawford, Negro worker framed for the murder of two white women, will go on trial early next month in the London County Circuit Court, it was indicated here today. Because of the wide interest in the case and the admission of Federal Judge James A. Lowell of Boston that | a Negro can not secure a fair trial in the courts of Virginia, extraor- dinary precautions are being taken by the white ruling class to carry through the proposed legal lynching with the greatest care. It is even Possible that the original indictment returned by an all-white jury may be quashed, and Crawford brought before another grand jury, with one or two “dependable” Negroes included on the jury, to give an air of an “im- partial trial” and to meet the issue, first raised by the International La- bor Defense in the Euel Lee and Scottsboro cases, of the violation of the constitutional rights of Negro de- fendants and the Negro people by the exclusion of Negroes from petit and grand juries. Extradiction of Craw- ford from Boston was originally de- nied by Judge Lowell on the ground that no Negroes were on the jury that indicted him. Lowell was over- ruled by the Second Circuit Court of Boston, which in turn was upheld by the U. S. Supreme Court, which re- jected an appeal to review the case. The local lynch press is greatly cited over the possibility of Crawford choosing the International Labor De- fense to defend him, but is reassured over the prospect that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People may continue to handle the case, in which event the local press confidently assumes that the N.A.A.C.P. would refuse to accept the profered aid of the IL.D. The press expresses the warmest praise for the N-A.A.C.P. for “withdrawing from the Scottsboro case because of the tactics of the I.L.D.” As a result of the militant tactics of the I.L.D. in the Scottsboro case, courts in various Southern States have been forced to accord Negroes representation on juries, although taking care to select only reformist elements and to bar militant Negro workers, ARMOR MILLS AT WORK | LONDON, Oct. 31.—It is reliably reported that the big armament firms at Sheffield have started making armor plate and big guns for the new warships provided for in Great Britain's new naval building program. story beginning Negro Lynched in Georgia Is 35th Victim for the Year LUMPKIN, Ga., Oct. 31.—Sevis Davis, 45-year old Negro, died in the county jail here on Oct. 23, of wounds inflicted by a small gang of lynchers. Davis was accused of attacking a ten-year-old Negro girl. The real charge against him was teo great friendliness with a Negro girl on whom a leading white man in town had his eye. He was taken from the Richland City jail, dragged into the nearby woods, shot and severely beaten. He was left in the woods in a dying condition. He died a few hours later. This is the thirty-fifth lynching reported this year, the lynching of George Armwood in Princess Anne, Maryland, being the 34th according to records kept in the National Of- fice of the International Labor De- fense in New York. Deportation Stay Gained for r Antonoff | NEW YORK.—A two weeks’ stay of deportation for Todor Antonoff, Detroit auto worker ordered shipped to fascist Bulgaria Nov. 1, has been won by the International Labor De- fense and the Committee for the Protection of Foreign Born.

The I. L. D.-will fight to the end, rousing masses of workers all over the country, to prevent the deporta- tion of Antonoff to Bulgaria, it was announced. A demand is being raised for a public investigation of the ille- gal railroading’ of deportation orders against Antonoff.
