Wedding AT Stockton
A Brilliant Affair
Continued from Page y

Sue Bromley, Frances Rogers and
James Hudson and Mr.. Bayis.
The reception committee consisted
Of Mrs. Claude Hudson, Mrs. James
Hudson, Mrs. John Bundick and Mrs.
Clay Burbage. About 8 O'Clock the
bride donned her going away gown of
raspberr sytain and gold lace with hat
to match, and travelling coat, and Mr..
and Mrs. Bromley left for. their hon
eymoon by auto amid showers of con-
fettti, rice, old shoes, and cornstalks.
Judging by the music made by cars,
basins, etc, on back of the machine
the town heard the farewell.
They will visit Baltimore, Philadel-
phia and New York while away and
next week will be at home to their
friends in town.
Many beautiful and useful gifts
were showered upon the popular cou-
pie. The invited guests were the inn
mediate families, and intimate friends
of the bride and groom and their class
mates in the Stockton High School
The out-of-town guests were Mr.
and Mrs. Clay Burbage, Mr.. and Mrs
Clayton Richardson. of Snow Hill;
Frank Brimer, New York; Mrs. Rog-
ers and daughter, Frances, Mt. Claire
N. j.; Rev. and Mrs. Marine and
daughter, Elizabeth, Princess Anne;
Rev. James Robinson, Ocean City; W.
Raylis, Parksley; and DIR. and Mrs.
Robert l. Owens, Pocomoke City.
Only two of the articles in the
brides cake were found-the ring, by
W. Baylis; and heart, by Miss Sue
Bromley. The huge slices cut by the
girls when searching for the wedding
ring will probably later reveal the
other articles. Miss May Taylor was
the fortunate one in catching the
Briday bouquet.

STRIKE CALLED
AGAINST FIRING
ACTIVE UNIONIST
Boss 'Rewards' IL
Years of Hard Work
BIZ A Worker correspondent

UTICA, N. ", Dec. 3.--Whether
Bertha DeGeorge, employed at the
Utica Steam and Valley Cotton Mills
for the past II years, was discharged
because she is one of the most active
members Of the Spinners' Union or
because, as the boss says, she knocked
over a small clock used for testing
machines, makes no difference TO her
fellow unlonists, who have voted to
call a general strike Of mill workers
as protest.
The vote was taken at separate
meetings of each of the four unions
involved, the carders, weavers, loom
fixers and spinners. Strike negotia-
tions are in charge of Joseph r..
White, organizer of the United Textile
Workers Of America.
Organizer Waits on Public.
No time has yet been set, as White
is calling a mass meeting Of citizens
in an effort to prevent actual calling
Of the strike thru bringing public opin-
ion to bear upon the mill owners.
Another reason for the strike is that
many of the weavers have been forced
to run extra looms, according to the
report.
Sister DeGeorge has worked for the
company since she was 10 years of age
and is one of the most active fighters
for the rights of the workers.
Whether she approves of the organ
izer's method of setting no date for
the strike, tho letting the bosses
know about it and get prepared, is
not known. But it is doubtful if she
cares about public opinion" so long
as she has the support of the workers.
"Both" Sides to be Heard.
Organizer White, however, is so anx-
ious about "public opinion" that he
is urging the stockholders in the mill
and business men to be present at
the mass meeting so that the public
may hear both" sides of the case.

Without warning, ten workers with
a long record of services were recent
ly laid off in one day at the iron
works where am employed, and
younger men put in their places at
less pay.
When some of the discharged men
begged the boss to give them another
chance, because they had families to
support, and pleaded that they would
slave harder than ever, he told them
bluntly that g young fellow can turn
out twice as much work for less
money"

all the men could be brought into q

Long Hours Forced
on Toledo Workers
ey A Worker correspondent

TOLEDO, o. Dec. 3.-Longer work
ing hours are being forced on the
slaves in this scabby town and it has
struck our shop, the Toledo iTire
works. The boss came around today
and told US that hereafter we would
work all day Saturday instead of the
usual half-time, and get overtime of
time and a quarter.
l asked for over time of time and
half, but the boss said no. He said
that we work only nine hours straight
time on weekdays, while the Toledo
Bridge and Crane and the American
Steel Bridge work ten, and I'VE don't
know when we are well-off"
The shop foreman asked the rivet-
ing boss to work ten hours for
straight time but he said that he
wouldn't dare ask the men to do this,
as he knew they would refuse. So
that killed one argument.
AS there are about 25 men in our
department, If we were to work one
hour over time for straight time, it
would mean putting more of our good
money in the bosses pockets.

foremen to those workers who are
injured on the job. The result is
that men come to work on crutches,
even, and sit around during the en-
tire elght-hour shift. when they
should be at home resting.
Accidents at the mills are never
reported if report can be pre-
vented. Yet the offices of the COM
pany doctors are filled up Sunday
mornings with those who have lost
the sight of an eye or received other
injuries which, in many cases, mean
months of lost time.
And yet these accidents are never
heard Of and the newspapers, to-
gether with the company doctors,
suppress all news Of this, except for
the accidents that create sensations.
Then, such stories are told in such
way that the resentment of the
worker is not aroused against their
brutal treatment.
When the mill is short-handed,
every possible pressure is brot to
bear to force injured workers to
pitch in" with the promise that
they will be relieved soon. Such re-
lief is seldom forthcoming, however.

Time-Clock Works
Overtime for Boss
By A Worker Correspondent

LOS ANGELES. Cal, Dec. IA
workers time always means money
for the boss; but seldom for the
worker.
When a man comes seven minutes
late in the shop where l work, he
gets locked for a quarter of an hour.
And he never has a chance to make
it up. No matter how early he might
come the next day, no worker can
punch the time clock until the whistle
blows.
We have to work nine hours day
and are often forced to work overtime
at straight rates, with an almost sure
chance of being fired il we refuse.
The few holidays that we get off
are taken out of our pay, and SO is
the meagre half-hour that we get for
rush lunch.
