A. F. Of [. Aids lJnSkilIed

Pittsburg, Pa, July 80. "A. F.
of L. Organizer Tafeiski was ar
rested by Glassport authorities
charged with distributing printed
matter advertising a mass meeting
of strikers employed by the Ameri-
can Axe and Tool cemps ny. The
superintendent appeared to prose
cute the unioAist, who insisted that
he be released as the arrest was
made without a warrant. This
was agreed to.
Low wages and sanitary condi-
tions forced these workers to strike
In the department where axes are
ground on emery wheels, the piece
work plan makes Ii impossible te
earn more than 81 day. The
same is true In other departments.
The absence of sanitary arrange
ments in the grinding shops make
tuberculosis prevalent because OF
constant breathing of the emery
dust. In order to induce new men
to work under these conditions,
they are paid a premium of '50
cents per day for the first week,
40 cents the second week., 81
cents the third week and 70 cents
the fourth week. The premium is
then removed and the piece work
system prevails. About 100 young
women are employed in the packing
plant. They receive from so to
90 cents per day of ten hours Ma
ny of the workers who have fam
lilies are earning about So per week
while there are individual instances
of men having earned but 40 and
80 cents a day. Intense poverty
among these workers is the rule.
A. F. of L. Organizer John L.
Lewis states that after injury with
employees of the company no gem
eral increase of wages has been
granted in period covering forty
years.
The trade union representatives
are doing everything possible to
assist these workers in securing
living wage.
