CHANCES FOR GARY JOBS-lO6 to 2

fired about 1900 from the steel mills"
John Gross, foreman of the. tin
plate shop gets $4,000 year salary
and Glissen, head of the steel mills,
gets over twice as much" another
worker, good union man, told me.
mo wonder the heads of the com
pany are against the formation of a
union in the mills"
This process of being told Nothing
doing" and going home to a hungry
family is indulged in twice day by
the Gary unemployed. The afternoon
went out for a job there were 106,
and | was told that many more than
that generally apply in the morning.
At the new tube works the same story
was told. Nothing doing today, you
might stop around tomorrow, but we
can't promise you anything"
Medieval Fortress.
The Gary plants of the United
States Steel Corporation, covering an
immense area, are as inaccessible as
a medieval fortress. Surrounded by
a high wire fence, spiked on top, they
are further guarded from public gaze
by squad of several dozen special
uniformed police. Every approach to
the plant, every door and gate, is well
guarded by these special police. The
roads leading into the tube works and
the other plants are privately owned
by the steel coropration, and even the
street cars to the plant go along these
private roads.
While I was standing there Michi-
gan automobile drove up and asked
one of the "cops" for permission to
drive over the private roads to see
the plant This was refused. The
guards are used to psychologist the
workers. Every worker who enters
the plant is gazed on suspiciously by
the guards. 1t is more like prison
than an industrial plant
"You fellows browbeat the work
ers," | remarked to one special po-
liceman. "The company uses you to
break up unionism talk, to spy on the
workers, and keep them in the prop
er cowed frame of mind. I'll bet a
hat there is another layer of spies who
are used to keep their eyes on you
and see that you properly behave
yourself"
The guard refused to discuss the
subject, but he grinned sheepishly.

CICERO WORKER
CONTRIBUTES TO
MINERS RELIEF
Opens Fund for Jobless
Illinois Coal Diggers
BY KARL REEVE.

Readers Of the DAILY WORKER
who have been following the stories
Of the sufferings Of the miners Of
Southern Illinois because Of the wide
spread unemployment and the reduc-
tion drive Of the coal operators, have
sent letters asking the DAILY WORK
Err how then can best send relief tc
these suffering miners.
The following letter, contains the
first actual donation toward relief
fund to help the starving miners OF
Southern Illinois, sent by A. Lavac'
from Cicero, III.
The letter says Enclosed you
will find "a check for the amount OF
i've dollars, which money ! want you
10 distribute among the needy coal
miners and their widows like Mrs.
Louis Conner, etc. This is only the
beginning of the coming struggle. !
hope you win receive more donations
like mine
AT this time the miners of Sesser.
Illinois, seem to be more destitute
than in any other town, and for that
reason have indorsed the check
and handed it to the business Of
fee of the DAILY WORKER, asking
that it be sent to Ross White, Ses-
ser, Illinois, who is chairman of com
mittee of miners to distribute relief
in Sesser
Sesser is the town where the South
ern Gem Coal company last Decem-
Der closed up their mine, and went
bankrupt failing to pay the miners
their December wages. Most of the
miners in this town have been un-
able to secure work since that time.
ThesDAILY WORKER will be glad
to handle all such funds which come
in relative to needy miners. and will
endeavor to place such unemployment
funds where they will do the most
good. 1t is gratifying that, if the re-
dictionary mine officials headed by
Frank Harrington, do not life finger
10 aid the miners they are supposed
to represent, at all events the rank
and file workers in other trades, are
having the class consciousness -te aid
their fellow workers.
Other letters from the miners de-
scribing the conditions in their min
ing camps, and letters offering relief
to the miners will be printed in early
issues of the DAILY WORKER.

KUzBAS COLONY
INDICATES BIG
ECONOMIC CAIN
Proves Possibilities of
Trade with Russia
az ROSIE News AGENCY

MOSCOW, (by maiD The annual
report of the Kuzbas. (Autonomous
Industrial Corporation), which has
been largely reprinted in the Moscow
press, would speedily convince for.
eign business men, whether they hold
bonds of the former Tsarist govern.
ment or not, of the growing economic
strength and ability Of the Soviet
Union to set its house in order
This report is also a good illustra
tion of the possibility of working and
carrying on business under the So
Wet regime, providing those who un.
dertake such work or business are
honestly prepared, while working for
their own benefit, to act also for the
good of, or at least not to the detri
ment Of, the Soviet Union.
Begun by Americans.
This concern. organized from be
ginning to end by a number of Amer
ican working men in sympathy with
Soviet Russia, was granted a number
of important mines, metal works
chemical factories, potteries, etc. al
kemerovo in the Kuznetz basin in
Western Siberia at the beginning OF
1928. The colony, which numbers
300 American and about $500 Russian
workers, is enturely autonomous, be
ing governed like region, by its
elected council, and by the Board OF
Engineers responsible = directly to the
Council Of labor and Defense. They
have just succeeded in dispatchine
their first million tons of coke to the
Ural metallurgical districts, after a
long period of reorganization, re
equipment and rebuilding. The
monthly output of coke in 1929
when the district was administered
by the former State Trust, was 424,
600 pools; in fourteen months the
Kuzbas has succeeded in raising it to
100000 poods. At the same time the
output per man has increased from
2O5S pools to 1895 pools. They an
ticipate that next year they will be
able to raise their rate of output to
12,000,000 pools Of coke per annum
thanks to the new machinery that is
constantly being installed, and the
new shafts that are being sunk. In
addition, they are beginning to pro
duce and dispose Of large quantities
of by-products 10000 tons of benzol
napthaline, etc. They have built new
houses, accommodating over 1000
workers, communal dining rooms, ano
lecture halls, and are beginning tc
erect schools, hospitals, and creches
All this was carried out without any
large influx of capital, each man only
bringing with him his implements and
sufficient money ($1O0) to maintain
him for one year. Apart from the in
trinsic merit of the enterprise, it is
an object lesson of what a little good
will from outside can create when ap
piled to the boundless natural re
sources Of the Soviet Union.

OF the department of labor, one
of whom explained that his SUI
periors in Washington had been
riding him hard to get these
cases disposed of. But when
attorney William Guinea argued be
fore Judge Cliffe that immediate de-
portation would work severe hard
ship on all four defendants, the court
ordered that the date Of surrender
be set back so days.
Hope For Cancellation.
Hope for cancellation of these de-
portation warrants has not yet been
abandoned by the four industrial un-
ionists facing exile. They know that
many protests have been sent lately
to President Coolidge and Secretary
of Labor Davis, by labor bodies and
individuals of prominence in various
cities, appealing against the obvious
injustice of banishment grounded on
IA law passed long after their convic-
tion. In all the great number of pro-
tests which have gone to Washington
about these cases, the point most fire.
quently stressed is that the four war
rants of deportation, being based on
an amendment to the immigration
law enacted in 1920, and thus are a
clear violation of Article of the Unit
ed States Constitution which specifies
that mo ex post facto (after the fact)
law shall be passed"
Five years in prison was the price
paid by these four unionists for ex-
ercising their constitutional right of
holding independent opinions concern
ing the war in Europe. Secretary
Davis ordered their deportation on the
ground that they were undesirable"
residents; repeated efforts have been
made to obtain for them an opportun-
ity to prove that since their release
on bail two years ago they have been
law-abiding and have done legal and
legitimate work, but such an oppor-
tunity has been denied them.
Exile Means Death.
II the federal government carries
out its plan to deport these four work
ers it may be the means of sending
one of them to death Pietro Nigra
has been ordered deported to Italy.
And inasmuch as that country is DOM
mated by the Fascist regime and as
all the ships now plying between the
United States and Italy are manned
by Fascist crews, Nigras return to
the land of Mussolini would be
fraught with great danger.
Dependable reports from Italy say
that many outspoken critics of social
conditions there have been put to
death, or imprisoned and tortured.
Jacob Tori, another Italian ex-political
who was deported a few months ago,
has never been heard of since his
eixle. Nigra is seeking permission
to sail to some other country where
his life would be safe. Commenting
on this phase of the situation, the
General Defense Committee of Chi
cago points out that: "In his sentence
by the trial court, there was no pro-
vision that Nigra should be sent to
death as well as to serve five years in
prison"
Eight Others Endangered.
Eight other /. w. w. members who
served five years in prison for ex-
pressing independent war-opinions
also are facing deportation. Their
cases are to be argued before the ap-
peals court in October.

An Army of Jobless.
The army of the unemployed was
we'll represented here. Some of them
told me they had not eaten yet that
day. One fellow about 1S-years-old
asked me for two bits. After the
lucky ones get job, they work in
the blistering heat of the steel mills,
or work around the plant as laborers
in the open weather for small nom
union wage. Laborers, was told,
receive S4.4O for full days pay, or
S24.OO per week for a full week. But
MANY of them are working on part
time. A ten-hour day prevails.

"I don't know what the workers will

borer said. "It takes pull, now to

some foreman or superintendent
These fellows don't care much for the
workers. They like to keep a large
surplus of unemployed so there is no
chance of forming union"
"Nothing Doing Today"
Finally a beady-eyed individual
stalked out of the employment office
and the iob-hunters flocked around
him. He sauntered slowly around the
yard, chewing tobacco, and splitting
it out in a stream that did not inter-
rupt his grin. He walked in again
with the laconic remark that there
was Nothing doing today" and the
crowd stood around discussing the
situation bitterly for few minutes
and then dispersed. Later | learned
that two men were hired.
just as the employment man emerg-

bune has been trying to cook up for

HURT BY RULE ON

Especial to The DaiIy worker)

GARY, Ind, Sept. 24.-Work is be-
ing rushed on the new plant of the
National Tube Company, subsidiary
of the United States Steel Corpora
tion, in order to take advantage of
the rule of the federal trade commits
sion abolishing Pittsburgh Plus"
steel rates. The Gary plant of the
United States Steel corporation will
be by far the largest tube plant in the
west, and will enable the U. S. Steel
Corporation to supply most Of the
western demand for pipe and thus
freeze out the independent steel COM
panies.
The effect of the abolishment Of the
Pittsburgh plus system Of charging
for steel at the Pittsburgh price plus
the freight rates, is expected to be
a stiffening Of competition, with the
U. S. Steel Corporation soon forcing
the independent concerns to the wall
by manufacturing the pipe near the
western market
Plan Readjustmenta
Jones and Lauglin, the large Pitts
burgh independent steel concern, is
already planning a readjustment,
forced by the manufacture planned in
the new Gary mill of the steel trust,
and the abandonment Of Pittsburgh
plus"
Following the announcement of the
U. S. Steel Corporation that Pitts
burgh plus will be abolished, Eugene
Grace, announced in New York that
the Bethlehem steel corporation, of
which he is president, will also abol'
lsh the practice of quoting steel
prices with Pittsburgh as basing
point.
However, the, United States Steel
Corporation, in announcing its inten-
ion Of complying with the federal
rade commission order, declared it
will conform 'in so far as it is prac-
.icable to do so" thus making a res
ervation of change in policy when it is
more convenient for such change to
