MAKERS

HEAR OF Y. W. |.
Young Workers Listen
to Communist Youth

The Young Workers League drive
to educate the workers turnout the
country working in the National Bis
cult company to the aims Of the
League is now on in full swing in New
York Pittsburgh, Detroit, Cleveland
and many other cities. over one thou
sand copies of the last issue of the
Young Worker, which exposed the
sweat shop conditions imposed by the
Biscuit company, were sold in front
Of the Chicago plant at 1000 West
Washington Street.
Summarizing the results already
achieved in the National Biscuit Com
pany drive, Barney Mass said, THE
result obtained is an existing poten-
tial nucleus, also the sale of eleven
numbered Young Workers; the fur
thering of the shop economic de
mands popularizing the League thru
these demands; and the general prop.
uganda values"
Street meetings have been held out
side the factory. at which the young
workers Of the company have listened
attentively, in spite of the grumbling
of the special police hired by the com.
pany to protect the workers from con-
tamination by the "red menace"
The investigation of the conditions
in the plant discloses that while the
company is very strong financially,
wages are being lowered, the employ
es being put on part time, and union
ism is not allowed.
"The employees work all day in suf-
locating rooms, standing on their
feet" says Barney Mass, "Toiling for
9 and 10 hours per day and not being
paid overtime. Keeping the boys and
girls divided in issues of nationality
and religion is another means the
bosses use in wringing more profits
from their labor"
