Only 100000 Negroes
In Labor Unions
(Continued from page d

to Negroes but discouraging their
membership are: Electrical workers
altho there are 1,343 Negro electri
clans; sheet metal workers; plaster
ers, with less than 100 from 5000
Negro plasterers; plumbers and steam
filters, altho $500 Negroes are in this
trade, Chicago Negro plumbers have
tried for six years to enter the union.
Flint glass workers object to Negro
members on the grounds that the
glass-blowing pipe is passed from
mouth to mouth and no one would
use 1t after a Negro. Journeymer
tailors have less than 100 Negro mem
bers, claiming few Negro tailors are
sufficiently skilled.
Unions admitting but not encourag-
ing Negro members are listed as. Car
penters, 500 of 34,217 Negro carpen
tiers in the union; painters. 279 OF
10000 Negroes organized. Negro work
ers in these skilled crafts complain
that when they join unions white
workers are continually given prefer
ence in job assignments.
Unions admitting Negroes freely
but in separate locals only: Must
clans with 5000 Negroes; hotel and
restaurant workers with 1000 Ne
groes; journeymen BARRIERS, laundry
workers, tobacco workers, United Tex
tile Workers, cooks and walters, and
American Federation Of Teachers. Di-
vision in the latter is partly due to
separate schools; in the BARRIERS be-
cause of clientele; in the textile union
because Negroes are in southern mills
where mixed unions are difficult.
Most Negro unionists are in unions
admitting Negroes freely to mixed
or separate unions: Longshoremen,
hod carriers and building laborers
tunnel workers. Geographical loca-
ton largely determines whether locals
are separate or mixed. Boot and shoe
workers, federal employees, mail car

United Mine Workers and the gar

PRISON RULES
FOR WORKERS AT
MILLER SHOE GO.
1000 Workers Must
Join Union
(ey q Worker correspOndentl


NEW YORK, Feb. 9-Miller's Shoe
factory, in one Of the largest open
shop establishments in New York, en-
ploying over 1000 workers. The aver
age wage that is paid these workers
is $12 week regardless of whether
is a boy or girl, man or woman or
whether they have worked three
months or three days, the wage is al
ways the same.
The rules that are enforced in the
factory remind one more of prison
than a shop in which shoes are made.
We work in dark rooms all day long
on black shoes. After working a mum.
Der OF hours in such bad light, the
eyes weaken and many of the work
ers here are always complaining
about their eyes.
No Pay for Overtime.
Every worker must be at his work
at o'clock in the morning. II he
comes in five or six minutes late that
is taken from his pay. During the day
every effort is made to have the work
ers work few extra minutes before
they quit for lunch and before they
leave for the day. They are not paid
for this time. They do not pay for
overtime.
One worker who had worked in the
shops for nearly year and had never
missed day, came in fifteen minutes
late one morning, not thru any fault
of his, but because the trains had
been delayed. He was fined for
coming in late.
The company does not supply drink
ing glasses or paper cups to the work
ers. The worker must furnish his own
glass.
No Towels in Mushrooms.
There are no towels or soap in the
washrooms. The facilities for washing
oneself are so poor that the workers
are forced to eat their lunch without
washing off their hands after handling
leather and other materials all day
long.
There are no lockers in the dress
ing rooms. If you miss anything and
tell the boss about it he just says:
well If found who took 1t he or she
will be fired" One worker lost his
sweather in the dressing-room and
when he threatened to make the COM
pany pay for the lost sweater, the
boss answered why don't you watch
your sweater"
Conditions in this shop are so bad
that it would be impossible to find
worse conditions in any other shop.
The workers in this shop must or
ganize and show the bosses that we
will not work all week and overtime
when he wants it for just $12 but that
e want more and if we organize we
can get it.
