GUNNER CAN'T
BREAK RANKS
At HEGEW|sCH
Production Stops When
Wages Are Cut
BY JACK MCCARTHY!

Mr.. Mike Buckley, general
efficiency manager of the West
ern Steel Car Foundry Co., is
having considerable difficulty in
getting the striking five hundred
poorly paid and overworked car
builders to see things his way
these days.
The Western Steel Car Foun-
dry Co. at Hegewisch, ILL.,, on
the extreme south side of Chi
cago, is a branch of the Pressed
Steel Car Company of McKees-
Rocks, Pa, a subsidiary of
Judge Gary's steel trust.
The workers in this steel car shop,
like the steel workers in all of Garys
industries, are paid the lowest pos
sible wage and worked to the very
limit of endurance.
The Western Steel Car Company
contracts to build cars for the various
railroads. At present this company
has contract to build several thou

Central railroad
Workers Vietimized.
Due to the lack of trade union or
ganization the workers are victimized
by the efficiency expert, the pace
makers and piece work system of the
company.
The present strike is revolt against
the conditions on the part Olive hun
dred riyeters, heaters, buckers, ream-
ers and filters, who refuse to accept
wage cut ranging from forty-fve to
fifty-five per cent. Last year a riveter
received sixty cents for the work he
did on one car. This year, under the
present cut, his rate for each car is
thirty-fve centsN. The other mechan-
les rates have been reduced proper
tionately and in some cases to larger
extent.
Cut in Wages.
"The company in addition to cut
ting our wages has piled on more
work by reducing the number of men
working on each car at least twenty
five per cent" said one of the strikers.
"The working hours are nine and a
half day, from seven to five with
half hour for lunch"
I'VE really work quarter of an

FOSTER-GITLOW
FIGHT Led BY
JOSEPH MANLEY
Organize Nationwide,
Red Hot Campaign

The Foster-Gitlow presiden-
tial campaign swings into full
action today with the an
nouncement of the appoint
ment of Joseph ManIey as this
years campaign manager of
the Workers Party. ManIey
moved this morning into the
National Office of the Workers
Party and issued a vigorous
statement, declaring that the
campaign will be a "red-hot"
one.
The campaign slogan of the
Communists will be ITO the
Masses" Special campaign
leaflets are being prepared
which will be distributed in the
shops, factories, mills and
mines. Separate leaflets will
be distributed to the stockyards
workers, to the steel workers,
and railroad workers, telling
them of Fosters long record in
their behalf.
coast-to-coast Tours
AS the money comes in for the cam
paign fund speakers will Immediately
be en- route for coast-to-coast tours.
Street meetings by the hundred are
already being held in the large cities
of the country, educating the workers
to understand the "LaFollette illu-
sion," and exposing the Morgan con-
trolled democratic and republican par
ties.
Manley is well qualified to conduct
a well-rounded campaign on a broad
scope. AS a member of the Struc-
tural Iron Workers union, a rank and
fller whose hands are hard from work
ing at his trade, Manley knows the
importance of getting the Communist
message across in the trades unions
and the industries.
Knows the Farmers
AS a member of the national execu-
tive committee of the Farmer-Labor
party formed at st. Paul, and secre-
tary of the Federated Farmer-Labor
party, Comrade Manley has worked
intensively among the farmers for
many months and knows the psychol-
ogy and problems of the farmers of
the country.
Altho the LaFollette illusion has
swept over many of the farmers of
the Northwest, thousands of them rea-
lie that LaFollette represents not the
bankrupt farmers but the independent
manufacturers. Northwestern farm
ers declare that altho LaFollette's
platform points out the appalling
plight of the farmers, no real con-
structive measures are advocated that
will permanently solve Americas
farm problems. Many Northwestern
farmers will flock to the Communist
banner because they are tired of futile
halfway measures.
Former Campaign Committees
The work of securing names to petit
lions, speaking at street meetings and
selling and distributing literature will
largely devolve upon the Workers
Party campaign committees which
are now being formed.
Marley declared that the campaign
will be red" in it's scathing indict-
ment Of the LaFollette mot yet"
political party with its progressive
planks, and hot" in its ruthless ex-
posture Of the Coolidge Dawes Davis
Bryan foursome. Manley's statement

bargaining shrewdly for French
capitalism. He is being checked
up at every point of the nego-
tiations by a large group of
French bankers, who are driv-
ing the conference to a break
ing point, and pressing French
claims insistently.
U. s. Intervenes for Morgan
Mr.. Hughes trip to Europe, coin
Gliding with that of Andrew Mellon,
secretary of the treasury, and with
the London conference, constitutes
the most decided intervention of the
United States government in Euro
pean affairs since the days of Wood
row |. 1t shows that Morgan finally
has figured out just what he wants,
and that he is determined to get it.
The pressure upon the French is,
therefore, expected to be applied mer-
cilessly
The next full meeting of the con-
ference is scheduled for Monday, but
the real business is being settled over
the weekend in the unofficial" meet
ings, the tea party" affairs, and con-
versations between the representa-
tives of the various conflicting finan-
cial groups, thru their" governmental
agents.
Bankers Loans Come First
A compromise agreement is report
ed on the question of sanctions, which
provides that the loans negotiated
under the Dawes plan shall be a first
mortgage upon Germany, and that, in
event of default, sanctions shall be
according to the Dawes plan and de-
voted to the service Of the loan. The
French demand that all rights at
present enjoyed by the signatories be
reserved, which is reported to have
been accepted, throws the validity OF
the agreement" as a real step toward
success of the conference into doubt.
Morgan Urging Common Policy
The committee dealing with evacua-
ton of the Ruhr is tied up with seem
ingly impossible contradictions. All
observers are agreed that only the
presence Of high officials Of the United
States offers any hope that an agree
ment will be reached. Morgan and
his agents are the dominating figures
in the conference, struggling for the
establishment Of common policy
among the entente governments thru
common submission to the greatest
financial interests In the world.

it is How big is the town your jobs
