My Own Shop
Reznor Gas Stoves and their trade mark" :"
By One Who Wears 1t.


The plant Of the Reznor Mfg. Co. is located in
a little out-of- -the-way place called Mercer, Pa.
But there is nothing slow about the way they
play the game of getting lots of work out of
small number of people for little money. They
have modern, we-equipped plant and turn out
an enormous product for the number of workers
employed. Only about $50, all told, work here;
many of them are girls. Yet they produce yearly
nearly 00,0OO Of the famous Reznor Gas Stoves;
the kind you see in the magazine advertisements
heating up cheerful ROOM
You might think the Reznor Company is
proud of this record of exploitation, and no doubt
they are; but that does not mean that they are
satisfied Like all labor skinners they want still
more work out of the exploited slaves without
apying increased wages and they are using an up
to-date "soft soap" method to get the workers in
to the right frame of mind
Some Company Propaganda.
With our last pay checks they handed Ms each
neatly printed booklet entitled "Your Share Of
The Money. 1t is clear attempt to convince the
workers who produce the 100000 stoves per year
that hand-to-mouth existence is all they are en-
titled to, and that they really are lucky to get that
The booklet depicts dialogue between work.
men, one of whom is a "Red". He is quoted as
saving that money in the country ought to be
divided up. A Company stool-reterred to in
the pamphlet as "having level head"-eomes
back with the statement that if the money was
all divided up there would be only about $100
apiece. This is supposed tc settle the argument
and to convince the workers that they should be
satisfied to slave their lives away for the benefit
of a few parasites who own the land, factories,
railroads and natural resources Of the country to
say nothing of money which is only a symbol of
value and is the smallest part of their wealth.
They wind up twelve pages of this sort of
stuff with the argument that increased wages will
not solve the problem Of the high cost of living.
The solution, they say, lies in increased produc-

ton This, remember, to $50 workers who produce
nearly 100000 stoves per year and get in return
barely enough to enable them to keep alive. Such
is their estimate of the intelligence of the great
majority of their slaves
Open Shop Conditions.
The entire plant of the Reznor Company IS
run on the "open shop" basis with the exception
of our department -Polishers and Buffers. Here
we have maintained union wages and the eight
hour day. As for the rest-well, it is the open
shop, and you know what that means, piece-work
speeding up, long and uncertain hours and small
wages The workers are at the mercy Of the boss
es they have no representation and no redress for
any grievance no matter how pressing it may be.
The press department is called the Butcher
Shop" This is because of the many fingers of the
workers that are chopped off on account of the
speeding up to meet the bosses piece rate. It is
easy to tell an old-tner in this department; near
ly every one Of them has the Reznor Trade Mark
upon him-a mangled hand.
But, after all, it is good sign when, in such
small backwoods place, the bosses, are forced to
talk economics an j. . adopt welfare measures to
counteract the effect of radical propaganda They
used to play prohibition and Sunday School stuff,
but now they are compelled to 60 into the in
dustrial argument, and that's their finish.
The union is not strong enough to protect me-
so please do not use my name Some of these days
l hope to be able to report that the Reznor plant
is organized from top to bottom, all the workers,
in one union also hope to see the day when the
workers will take over the plant-not to divide
up, but to run it comparatively for the benefit
of the workers only.

Manual Training and Domestic
Science Glasses Had Fine Dis
play.

The latter part of last week the
two big display windows at the
Rexall drug store attracted a great
deal of attention, the north window
being filled with articles manufact--
ured by members Of the manual
training class and the south window
with dresses made by the girls OF the
domestic science class.
The articles of furniture were
made by Miss Gertrude Pearson of
the 18th grade, Edgar Hansell OF the
9th grade, and Edgar Bell of the 7th
grade, and it was hard to believe
that school children could do such
fine work. Most of the members Of
the manual training class reside in
the country and had taken their work
home before the display was made:
The exhibit by the girls of the
domestic science class filled the
south window, and showed excellent
skill in dressmaking, those exhibiting
work being AIDA Caster, Florence
