Bantam Lake People Protest
 Unbridled Dance Halls

Hartford March 6. -- "Highballs rolling and on the ground" may be all right in song, but gin and whiskey bottles rolling on the front lawn in the early morning breezes otf Batam Lake in Morris in the vicinity of the dance halls there are un infringement on the rights of the people of the town, the judiciary committee of the legislature was

 Strcssing the fact that the pro Iprirtors of the dance halls were fine men, Judge Hubbard declared that
 on summer nights, there were more high spirited young mon and maid ems" in the town for dancing than there were year-rOund residents Of Ithe town. He claimed that the dances did not end until or o'clock in the morning; that auto mobiles bringing dancers block the roads so that other traffic cannot get through; that summer residents can mo longer invite friends to theil

Workers Write About The WOrkers's'Lite
WORKER FIGHTS RAID
ON UNION FUNDS FOR
EXPENSIVE AUTOMOBILES
BY A Worker Correspondent

At meeting Of Local 76 of the
international Hold Carriers, Building
and Common Laborers Of America a
stormy debate took place on mo-
ton to buy car for the secretary.
A petty official, one of the "good
boys" made motion that the union
purchase an. automobile for the sec
rotary and another henchman spoke
on the motion and tried to have it
include that all the business agents
be given a car. Then the president
took the floor and talked In favor Of
the amendment, His argument went
like this: "If we give car to one,
we should give car to all, and lets
make them good Ones" Tie was
given $4,000 Marmon few month
ag.)
It was at this point that the left
wing stepped in. A left wing MEM
Der was given the floor and after
cross fire from the labor faklrs, he
exposed this steal and raid on the
local treasury. He exposed the lin
up for the squanderlng Of union
funds to buy fancy cars for Of
ficiaIs. He pointed out that they
each spoke for each other and had
come to the meeting prepared to put
it over on the membership. He ar
gued that the membership who have
to be at their jobs at o'clock in
the morning manage to get there
without cars but the business agents
who can get down to their jobs
ven as much as two hours later,
and are already provided with mo-
torcycles and cars to get around
from job to job now want luxurious
and fancy cars. He pointed out that
that was an entirely unnecessary ex-
penditure and in view of the i'm
pending strike or lockout when
money will be needed to conduct the
fight against the Lands award
committee and the bosses It would
be criminal to deplete the treasury
Of its funds. for such purpose. It
was this exposure that compelled
the maker Of the motion to with.
draw it,, but of course it will be brot
up on. the floor by these same Off
ais IN the near future.
1t is the duty of the rank and
file to 'linesup behind the progress
sive elements to force the officials
to spent the, unions money in the
interest of the union and not for
their personal luxuries.

Freight House Nucleus
May Be Small, But 1t
Does Good Party Work
BY A Worker Correspondents

We are, one of Chicago's shop nuclei
in a freight house, with only hand
full of members, but we have now had
our third meeting and are distributing
the Coolidge. leaflets to our fellow
workers. The men come and go, and
most all Of them talk about baseball,
etc, but the leaflets will carry our
message.
We work dong hours and the men
want time and a half for Sunday
work, but are not organized to get it
not yet. When the boss says, work
Sunday-straight time-they accept
it. Some of the workers compete to
see who can handle the biggest ton
mage so as to win favor with the boss.
We have regular officers and meet
ing time and will do all we can as a
unit of the Workers (Communist)
Party. We are going to boost for The
DAILY WORKER and the Lenin
memorial meeting among other things.

Green GIVES
ANOTHER TALK
FOR The BOSS
Class Collaboration or
Anarchy, Warning

NEWARK, O.-(FP)--"We live in a
country where class distinction and
class hatred can have no place in the
industrial and social life," Pres. VIM.
Green, American Federation of Labor,
told the Newark chamber Of commerce
Dec. II. representatives of the New
ark Central Labor union were also
invited by the employer association.
Newark has one of the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad shops where the B. & o.
plan of workers intensively helping
the management in return for stabil-
lied employment is in force.
THE organizations of labor in Am
erica have never been committed to
policy of making war on capitalism, -
Green told his hosts in pleading for
mutual tolerance and cooperation be.
tween aggregations of capital and or
CARNATIONS of labor. "They have ac-
cepted the existing social order"
Labor will always fight for the right
to organize and bargain collectively,
Green asserted, but it freely comedies
to capital the right to own and manage
industry and to the receipt of fair
return upon its investment" EN-
ployers, however, who fight the unions
instead of cooperating with them are
promoting the influence of anarchistic
organizations which are seeking to
gain a foothold in America, he added.
Green quoted with approval the
statement of Alton B. Parker, an
attorney, made at an industrial round
table conference in New York, who
said, THE British Labor party is a
socialist party, and so many of its
important leaders are bolshevists that
it is difficult to classify them. But the
American labor movement is neither
socialist nor bolshevik, thank God"

RUSSIAN COAL
MINERS HAVE
SIx-HOUR DAY
Economic Conditions
Steadily Improve
ey a Worker correspondenl

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-Powers Hap
good, member of the United Mine
Workers Union, who figured actively
in the daring organization drive that
swept successfully past the gunner Of
Somerset county, Pa, in the big 1922
strike, writes an interesting letter
from the coal fields of Kemerovo,
(Kuzbas colony, Siberia. He comes
to Siberia after coal digging tour of
Europe that took him into the pits of
Wales, England, Germany, France, Po-
land and old Russia as worker.
Shortest Workday in World.
All is not roses in the Siberian
mines, what with dampness, lack Of
cars, and so forth, but the shortest
workday in the miners world pleases
him nightly. Miners have a six
hour day from bank to bank daylight
to daylight" he writes, (which seems
wonderful to me after the nine or ten
hours at the face and and hour or two
spent in travelling two, three and even
four miles from the shaft bottom to
the working place. Office workers also
have six-hour day, as their work,
like mining, is done in unhealthy sur
roundings, but outside workers have
eight hours. Underground workers
have one months vacation year with
full pay, while all workers get at
least two weeks. If a worker is sick
or injured, he or she gets 40 per cent
Of wages and full doctor and hospital
expenses If single, and IS per cent if
married. Miners have wash houses at
the mines and are furnished with
working clothes, soap and tools.
These and many other good conditions
prevail here"
Hapgood complains he can't get
enuf cars for all the coal he wants to
load. He wants to get the work out
to help build up socialist country:
Wages are going up but still low be
cause of the country's poverty. Fuel
and housing are free.
Conditions Steadily Improve.
Even now l think conditions here
standards Of living, etc.-compare fav.

the other countries where I've worked.
Moreover things are steadily improv-
ing here, each year seeing conditions
better than the preceding one In the
coal fields of other countries where
I've worked, however,-America, Great
Britain, Germany, France-things are
getting from bad to worse with sink
ing standard of living, unemployment,
general depression, and gloom being
the order of the day. Here, however,
there is hope for the future as things
are on the upward trend. Under the
new agreement, for instance, which
has just been made by the govern
ment and the miners union, we are
getting a rs per cent increase in
wages"
AS for eats, they are better than
the average workers boarding house
fare In America: good cereal in the
morning, pancakes and strip. At
other meals meat, potatoes, soup,
many varieties of vegetables, stewed
fruit, whole wheat bread.
Hapgood will return to America by
way OF China and he will probably be
possessed with a more intimate
knowledge of international mining
conditions-at the coal face-than
anyone one is likely to meet.
