HOTEL WORKERS,
ORGANIZE YOUR
RANKS TO FIGHT!
N. Y. Am al G am ated
Union Invites You
BY JOSEPH MARES
Progressive Committee, AmaIga-
mated Food Workers.

NEW YORK CITY-The time is
ripe, and the moment has come to
wake up. The bosses see our weak
ness and fear of their weapons and
begin to enslave us more day by day.
The hours Of work increase daily, and
the wages and day off decrease every
where. Our duty is to rally our forces
and, instead of weakening we must
present a strong front and fight back
with more strength ana courage than
ever.
The field is open to every one, and
the army of hotel workers is increas-
ing rapidly; don't remain behind and
wait until the last moment, because
it may be too late, and all the pro-
liabilities which we have today for
sure victory may turn against us,
thanks to your lack of activity.
We have all the aces in the deck,
which means to say that the game
is ours if we stick together and at
tack our oppressors without fear with
the amount of courage required. Do
not forget this, we are going to beat
them with their own weapons because
we feel sure of this method, which by
experience in other parts, brought us
many victories.
Do not complain about your condi-
tons, because they are the ones you
make by your own negligence. Or
ganize, be man and show the bosses
that you still live and think about
having human and decent conditions.
Two years ago, one of our COM
rades fell dead in the dining room of
one of the biggest hotels in this city
from overwork and bad food. But the
management of the hotel, trying to
avoid the trouble which might have
come to them, instead of sending him
home, sent him to the hospital, and
managed to state that he died in the
same of some disease of the lungs.
This was untrue. When the man
fell in the middle of the dining room.
he died instantly of a cardiac attack.
which was caused by the paralysis of
tne heart by excitement or over work.
Unfortunately, most of the people
who frequent the hotel and restau-
rants, take the walters for dumbells.
Tin the instance Of being morgan
lied, they are correct) but people
ignore the fact that among the wait
ers there are lot of boys, who de-
vote the few hours they have off in
studying how they will be able to
emancipate their class.
So don't let the skunks and sup
porters Of the boss, bluff you, and
don't fail to answer to the appeal of
those who fight in the rank Of the
unions for decent human conditions,
and come to the union, the only place
where you can find relief The hotel

WTHILE the highest councils of labor
w union reaction are meeting in the
convention Of the American Fedora
ton Of Labor at Atlantic City, it will
be a good comparison for American
workers to read an account from the
Sunday Worker of London, England,
of the end of the first days session
of the British Trades Union Congress
at Scarborough on September z. The
account is as follows:
THE day ended with a big fight on
4 a most important resolution on
the aims of trade unionism. By many
delegates this was considered as an
open challenge to the policy of Mr..
]. H. Thomas, e. Joseph. (Tailors and
Garment Makers) moved
That this congress declares that
the trade union movement must or
eanize to prepare the trade unions
in conjunction with the party Of the
workers to struggle for the over
throw of capitalism.
At the same time congress warns
the workers against all attempts to
introduce capitalist schemes Of CO.

Butte Labor Unions
Think Single Girls
Should Have the Jobs

BUTTE, Mont, Oct. 5.-The Silver
Bow (Butte) trades and labor coun.
Gil recommends to all local unions
that they follow the example Of the
Butte clerks union and bar married
women from membership.
The recommendation is supposed to
be an answer to the practice of many
Butte firms Of giving job preference
to married women. making II harder
for girls and single women to get EN-.
ployment. In some cases man and
wife are given jobs.by the same house.
The council takes the position that
when there are not enuf decent Jobs
to go around the girls that have no
provider should get the first chance.

The merchants and business men
are planning to enlarge their stocks
and get ready to take care of IN
creased business this fall and they
expect to do all in their power to
head off the mail order business to
catalog houses, (by the way our
post master says that since we be-
gan this page mail order business
had declined fully so per cent? this
is as it should be, when we stop TO
think who is it that pays the taxes
for the upkeep of schools and coun.
ty affairs, it is the farmers. mer-
chants and business men of the
county, therefore it behooves every
one of us to keep our money at
home. No mail order house con-
tributes one penny to taxes or be-
nevolences in this community, and
it is high time we awake to this fact
and do our part to build up a COM
that shall be known far and
wide for its cooperative spirit.

ty will be proud of it.
Speaking of being proud, our crop
conditions in this community is some

good for yields in all planted crops
and especially the tobacco crops.
Experts say that the tobacco crop
here is as good as anywhere in the
81 ate, and down in Lee county they
are Sitting on top of the world as
to fine crops. Prospects (mark
we'll we say prospects) are good for
a yield in that county, better than

THE BUSIEST
| MAN in LESLIE
! He Is a Bank Cashier, Farmer,
u insurance Man and
4 What Not

ID According to w. T. Anderson,
S fashier of the Bank of Leslie, there
will be several barns Aof tobacco
eured at Leslie during the next two
weeks. This will include a barn
from the famous acreage planted
by syndicate of Leslie farmers,
under the supervision of DR.. X.
Wood.
Mr.. Anderson, although d bank
cashier, is everything else that a
busy man in a small town must be.
He farms extensively, has both nit
tens in tobacco planting and sells
insurance and what-not. There isn't
tobacco maA in the Piedmont sec
ton Of North Carolina more en-
Unused over the condition of his
tobacco crop this year than Mr..
Anderson. And | doubt if any of
the cashiers of the National City
Bank of New York perform their
work as faithfully when in the cage.

SATURDAY CLOSING
 AGAIN DISCUSSED
Chamber Of Commerce Hears
 Nothing Officially, as Yet

With the ground hog theory bor- dering on vindication and the first signs ot spring seen in New Britain the old argument about Saturday afternoon closing is coming to the front among Chamber of Commerce members, 1t is stated
 Last year several merchants closed their places of business at noon. while the majority remained open. This year 1t Is expected there will be stronger agitation for gen eral closing on Saturday so as 10 permit the merchants and thelr helpers q week end holiday,
 Nothing has bcem brought 10 the attention of the Chamber cf Com morce or tho Mercantile bureau yet. The directors of the Chamber met at noon today at tho Burritt hotel and discussed few routine mat ters, but nothing on closing.
 The closing of stores is decided by members ol the Mercantile bu- rcau in an open meeting and ac- lion usually is taken on a program submitted by the uniform hours committee. This committee meets about this time of the year. E. J. Porter, chairman of the committee, said today that no recommendations had been made 10 him. He stated that the committee would meet as soon as it was possible for Steve Robb, one of the members, 10 at tend. Mir. lsobb is out today it is understood for the first time after a few weeks illness.
 In case it is impossible for the committee 10 recommend anything definite before Washington's Birth day. Mir, Porter said the hours adopted last year would prevail un- til changed.
 The mercantile bureau win meet at 10 o'clock Friday morning and there is a possibility that the uni form hours committee may arrange to have meeting prior to that time.
 At the meeting of the Chamber directors today it was voted to per init the internal revenue collector to use the Chamber headquarters for the collection of income taxes this year.
 It was also voted to have the local committee join with other committees at a hearing before the state highway department in Hart ford Wednesday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock, when the desired improve ments to Cat Hole road will be dis cussed.
