go to work the next morning. That
is how they work us when we are
given a chance to work.
We do not have steady work. The
speeding up system makes it unnec-
essary for us to work every day. A
large part of the time we only work
three days a week. But the mill does
not shut down A certain number of
men are employed each day.
Every man must report to an out
err office every day. The foreman
comes out and looks over the men.
If you look rested up and strong and
husky you are likely to be given a
days work, otherwise you are sent
home to report the next day. Any
man who fails to report each day is
fired. One young man was sent home
for FIVE days in succession and on
Saturday he did not report. On Mon
day morning when he reported for
work he was told that he was fired
Meetings for Workers.
The company does not stop at the
use of posters and leaflets and safety
booklets for propaganda. 1t uses
still another means. Every week we
have safety meetings. These meet
ings open with the singing of the
Star Spangled Banner. Any man who
does not sing, loses his job
They next call on a few men who
have met with accidents in the plant
to speak. These men must declare
that the accident was caused thru
.carelessness on their part and they
go into detailed account of the way
it all came about to prove that it was
no fault Of the company. Men in
jured but not incapacitated enough
not to be able to walk about, must
report every day and sit around the
plant as soon as they are able to do
some kind of work, they are put to
work.
The object in mind is to report as
few accident cases as is possible.
If these men report to the plant they
are not incapacitated If all the men
who receive injuries in the plant were
reported, it would knock up the ac-
cident report of the Carnegie Steel
Co. at least five times the original
amount.
Prosperity For Bosses Only.
The capitalist papers carried Judge
Gary's report that mills are begin
ming to show signs of prosperity
again. But we who work here in the
mills know that they are closing
down more furnaces and laying off
hundreds of men and that ell the men
are working only on part time. Pros
perity for the Garys yes, when he
forces one man to do the work of
two.
Here's to the day when we will
wipe the parasites off the earthl

Mexico have launched a special
manifesto calling upon the

The manifesto goes on to say,
"This is the moment for the formation
of a united front of protest against
Italian reaction, which is only part Of
the reaction of the entire world.
"The Obregon government, which
has repeatedly called itself revolu-

has sent for the Minister of Educa-

at the Edgar thompson WORKS
of the Carnegie Steel Company
which has its plant here in
Turtle Creek, Pa.
y Posters are hung on the walls in
this plant for the workers to read.
They warn the men against attempts
to get them to join union. The big
boss is talked up as the workmen's
benefactor. The posters go into
lengthy accounts Of the bad times
that the workers had when the shop
was unionized and how much better
they are off now when they let the
boss look after their interests. In
addition to the posters, other litera-
ture in this tone is circulated thru
out the plant.
But the conditions that exist in the
plant show up the lies circulated thru
these publicity channels.
Every man is given booklet con-
tanning safety rules of the company.
How he is expected to keep these
rules under the high speed pressure
he is compelled to work soon puz-
zle the new employee. But he must
ask no questions.
The book admonishes all employees
not to talk back to the foremen. 1t
warns them always to be courteous
to the heads of the departments and
foremen. If a worker tries to talk
back to any one of them he learns
from the other workers that it is as
good as asking for his pay. So he
complies with the safety rules as
nearly as it is possible for him with
the result that many accidents hap
pen thruout the day.
Tell Workers What to Eat.
The real joker in the book of rules
is the part that tells the workers
what to eat. Breakfast should con-
sist of fruit and cereals. One meal
of meat and vegetables and one meal
of bread and butter and milk. But
we who work in this mill do not get
enough wages to even afford the lit
tie sample of food which the big
steel owners think we are entitled to.
The wages are terribly low. Those
who work eight hours a day get so
cents an hour. Those who work 10
and IL hours a day, get 46 cents an
hour
The main parts Of the mill work
the ten and twelve hour day. The
eight hour day sections were origin
ally piecework sections. The work
ers developed production to such a
height thru striving to make little
more money that the bosses knocked
off the piecework system and put
them on the eight-hour day.
Workers Driven.
Under the new system they do not
need to give the workers that little
extra pay as an incentive. They just
drive. There are days when / come

have brought a heart attack.
All of the officials of the bank have
been prominent at Fascist meetings
and Fascist demonstrations. During
the past three years they have organ
lied dozens of pro-Fascist meetings in

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE NEW
YORKER VoLKSZElTUNG
CONFERENCE,

YORKER VoLKSZEITUNG
CONFERENCE.
BY the Central Executive Committee
of the Workers Party.
THE Central Executive Committee
/ of the Workers Party is in re-
ceipt of the following communication
from the New Yorker volkszeitung-
Conferenz:
Central Executive Committee,
Workers Party,
Dear Comrades: The above
named organization orders me to ex-
press it's resentment in regard to
your attitude in consuming the editor
Of the New Yorker Volkszeitung
Your position, in our opinion, is detri.
mental to our organization inasmuch
as it is likely to create animosity
against some and to discourage active
support which is so essential to any
working class paper. We mean, under
all conditions, to maintain a newspa-
per built up with tremendous sacri-
fees.
I'VE feel that your position in the
matter has not been entirely fair. We
take the position that anybody, before
pronouncing censure upon him, should
have the privilege of a hearing and
defense a right expressly granted by
capitalist court procedure. We do not
know if you regard your method as
comradely. Permit me to say we do
mott!
81 wish to say in re merits of the
case that it was the Advertising De-
partment which accepted, without
knowledge of the editor, the adver-
tisement of the Hungarian loan bonds.
The 'volkszeitung' has a yearly con-
tract with the banking house for a
certain amount of space. 1t could
have been sued for breach of contract
at the option Of the banking house.
The result might have meant finan-
cial ruin. The paper has consistently
denounced Horthy and his regime.
On the next day the advertisement
was discontinued. On the same day
an editorial appeared stating the edi-
torial position in the matter. Not
withstanding, you seem to feel justi-
fed in your actionl
Il wish to discuss the question of
principle involved because this is the
most essential point. Does it help and
assist Horthy if the public buys the
bonds? Not one scintilla or one con-
tinental The banking syndicate which
buys the bonds buys them at a GER
tain rate and pays a stipulated price.
It does not matter in the least if tne
syndicate can foist them on the pub
lie or not, Horthy win get his amount.
Small bankers buy same and act as
retailers as in this case. A small
bank inserted the advertisement in
the 'Volkszeitung.'
ITO boycott the bonds does not
mean that Horthy will lose cent.

potential. If you are aware of these
facts why did you act so tempestu-
ously? Or is your knowledge of f.
nancial matters as deficient as
your method of procedure in imposing
censure?
"The only effective method Of a
bovcoft against Horthv might he not

Hoping that the facts set forth
above will convince you Of your hasty
action, and in the future you will be
guided by the old Roman proverb:

The Central Executive Committee
is glad to be able to say, in opening
its comment upon the above letter,
that the writer, Louis Braun, is not a
Communist and not a member of the
Workers. Party. 1t would indeed have
caused uneasiness in the minds Of
the members of the Central Executive
Committee if member of the Work
ers Party could have been guilty of
writing such a non-Communist coun-
ter-revolutionary letter as the above.
We hope also that the sentiment ex-
pressed in this letter did not repre-.
sent the views of the members of the

altho the letter is written in the name
Of this organization.
