How They Put "caIp over.

TO the DAILY WORKER: We,
workers of the steel mills. are already
beginning to feel the effect Of the
election of silent Cal Coolidge" but
not as the press Of big business says.
We, are not getting more work or more
money, but we are getting laid OF in
hundreds or being put on slack time
more than before the election. About
two weeks before the balloting took
place, there came great rush Of
work in the mills, here, and they start
ed hiring to beat the band. In one
section alone they hired from two to
three hundred men between the three
shifts which they work in that sec
ton.
Told Must Vote for "cal."
A few days after these men had
started, meeting was called. 1t was
supposed to be safety first meeting,
but in reality it was political one.
One speaker got up and gave the
usual line of bull about Silent Calf
and attacked the "reds". OF course
Foster came in for q good bit of it,
but the climax came when when the
general manager got up and stated
quite plainly that If the men wanted
to work in that mill they had better
vote for seal" He stated that the mill
would shut down if any of the other
candidates got in but that there would
be work for all and some to spare if
Coolidge got in.
Well, Coolidge got in, but did we
have the promised work? No. A great
change came over that place. Every
thing went slow, furnaces were shut
down and the second day after the
election the foreman called all the
men together and told them that he
would have to lay off all the new men,
the reason given was that they had
not produced good work and that the
company had lost a bunch of orders
thrue bad work None of these new
men were on jobs where they could
have done bad work. That part of
the work left to the older men, some
with twenty-five and thirty years ex-
perience. The new men were loading
cars and doing all kinds of laboring
work, so that shows how foolish their
excuse was.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 49,
Receiving complaints that
school children were being
urged to join the Communist
International" thru the spread
Ing of literature in the public
schools, the police swooped
down on the |. w. w. hall here
and arrested II |. w. w.

They were charged with
"vagrancy" and their bail was
fixed at $1,000.
LeafIet Denounces Profit System.
Newspapers have been carrying
eight-column front page headlines de-
claring that REDS Invade San Fran
cisco schools" 1.-THE extent of the
Soviet plot against which authorities
are lighting is indicated by the fact
that an organization called the Young
Workers League has been formed
among school children" says the San
Francisco Chronicle. This news has
showed President Coolidge off the
front page.
The police here were angered that
the Communists would dare to distri-
butte literature denouncing the profit
system and praising government run
by workers and farmers. They smash
ed in the doors of the Marine Trans
port Workers hall in spite of the fact
that the /. w. w. had nothing to do
with the distribution of the Commu-
mist anti Coolidge education week"
program, and arrested 81 men who did
not know what it was all about
1.-THE l. w. w. is trying to make the

school officials here. The police OBJ
jected particularly to the fact that
telegraph poles around the schools, ac-
cording to their version, were plaster
ed with posters advertising that
Mother Bloor" was going to speak
on How boys and girls of Russia
live" The police were also incensed
that Miss E. Bassi, was going to
speak. Miss Bassi, it is admitted by
the Mission High school dean, Miss
Ada Goldsmith, is the star debater of
the high school debating team.
The police, in a statement widely
quoted turnout the Pacific coast, de-
clare, "A plot for the spreading of

Cut in Wages Certain Jan. 1.
There is lot of talk here that the
company is going to cut down the
wages at the beginning of the new
year which to me seems very probable,
owing to statement made by the
superintendent at another safety meet
ing that they had orders, but were
waiting developments which were to
take place at the beginning of the new
year. He also told the new men to
come around at that time as he may
need them. These two statements
make it look very probable that there
will be a reduction in wages. The
fact that he will have bunch Of men
outside the gates ready in case some
Of the slaves will kick over the traces
will help them to do as they please.
After making the above statements
a great appeal was made to us to be
willing and obedient workers. While
we are in the mills we should put out
every ounce Of energy for the sake of
the company. That they were our
great benefactors. Some benefactors-
workers have been taking home $1,000
a week for last three months, previous
to the gigantic bluff which they pulled
off just before.
Slave for Bare Existence
There are about twenty young men
working here who fought in the "War
to End War" and now they have to
fight for food and clothes for their
wives for children as l don't believe
they can live on what they get here.
These men are doing the work of
three. In one section (The Mine Lie
Section) there used to be Is men
working. Now there are only six and
these men are forced to do the same
amount of work as the full crew used
to do. OF course If you don't do it
they tell you to get out, as they could
get somebody who could do it, and
they keep the men scared with this
threat of throwing them out of work
Worker Manned and Thrown Out
Another thing that goes to prove
that their idea of safety is all bunk.
One of the workers had cut his fingers
very badly. He had to attend the
company hospital for treatment. He
was allowed to go from his place of
work. The rule is that no worker

'zINOvIEV NOTE
FORGERY, SAYS
UNION CHIEFS
Express Satisfaction with
Soviet Progress
Especial to The Daily wOrker)


LONDON, December 15.-The Trade
Union Congress delegation to Russia
in telegram to the Daily Herald
brands the "Zinoviev letter" forgery.
The message declares that the delega-
ton was allowed to look over the con-
fidential files of the Communist In
ternational. It reads as follows:
1.-THE British delegation has had
striking evidence of the bad impress
sion produced by the arrogant tone of
the British notes on official and pub
lie opinion in Russia.
ut is looked on here as an attempt
to prevent any further impartial in
quiry into the evidence of the anthem
ticity ofG the Zinoviev letter, such as
is justifiably desired by Russia.
'The delegation has gone into the
matter with zinoviev. He maintained
strongly that the letter was forgery,
and actually placed at its disposal the
confidential records of the Communist
International
1.-THE delegation is bringing home
the full results of its detailed investi-
cations.
A PaIpabIe Forgery.
CAS- a result, the delegation is abb
solutely satisfied that the document is
a forgery, that no evidence of the con
trary can be produced, and that the
refusal Of the Russian offer Of arbi-
tration can only be explained on that
ground.
"The delegation is convinced from
conversations with prominent mem
bers Of the Russian government, that
unless an impartial inquiry is accept
ed the conservative government will
stand condemned In the eyes of all
Russia as having used forged docu-
ment for party purposes.
Wants Good Relations.
These conversations have also
satisfied the delegation that the
earnest desire of the Russian govern
ment for good relations with Great
Britain would of itself preclude the
possibility OF any such aggressive ac-
ton In the circumstances by the Com
munist International.

been set up, is received with rejoicing
In labor circles thruout England. The
