Beating Down the Value of
Labor Power in Passaic

Of all industries in this capitalist ma
ton. But 1t is parasitic also in the
sense that It uses up more labor-power
that it is possible to replace. In plain
words, because Of the long hours, the
miserable conditions of labor, the low
wages and the consequent inability
of the workers to obtain habitable
quarters in which to spend the time
they are not in the mill, the workers
and their children die on much earlier
than in other industries, thereby de-
plotting the supply Of labor-power, the
replacing of which requires a con-
slant stream into the mill towns OF
workers from other parts of the coun-
try. Not only is it an ordinary capt.
talist parasite, but it is even para
site upon the capitalist system itself.
However, the capitalist bondholders
Of other industries will never bother
about the parasitism of a part of the
capitalist system. They will rather
envy an industry that can beat down
its workers to such a low level and
at the same time achieve the feat Of
securing additional protection from
the government in the way Of high
tariff walls that enables it to sell the
product Of it's slave pens much above
the normal market price, as is the
case of the wooden industry.

DeprecIatlng Labor Power.

7 Under the economic laws of CAPT
~ talist production the value Of a
mans labor-power is determined by
the food. clothing and shelter required
to enable him to live from day to day
and to raise a family so that when he
is worn out there will be new labor
power to take his place. As Marx
says:
''The value Of Iabor-power is the
value Of the means of subsistence
necessary for the maintenance of
the laborer. The Iabor-power with
drawn from the market by wear and
tear and death must be continually
replaced by, at the very least, an
equal amount of fresh labor-power.
Hence the sum of the means Of SUBJ
sistence necessary for the produc-
ton of Iabor-power must include
the means necessary for the labor
er's substitutes, that is to say his
children, in order that this race of

ers Of Iabor-power) may perpetuate
its appearance in the market
Capital, Chapter VI
In Passaic and other textile centers
in the United States this is not done
It is not possible for the husband, the
head Of the family, to make sufficient
to enable his dependents to exist. His
wife must enter the slave pens in or
Ter to supplement the family income
Then, if there are children, she has
an additional burden of taking care OF
them after working hours. AS soon
as the children are old enuf they also
are sacrificed on the altar of greed
And in many instances the combined
wage of family of four or five is not
sufficient to cover the value of the la
BORROWER of one man working in q
normal industry in this country.
:, The, effect of the low wages prevail
ent in the Passaic mills is to beat
down the value Of Iabor-power BY
spreading the value of the mans la
BORROWER over his whole family. This
is depreciation of labor-power in its
most fragrant form.
Furthermore, the wool textile indus
try is, in more ways than one para
site industry. 1t is parasitic the
same as any other industry under cap
itaIism based upon the exploitation Of
labor, in that its owners take from
society without rendering any equiva
lent in return. Simply thru the own
ership Of the means of production
the idle stockholders are enabled Il
live in idleness off the wealth pro
Iduced by the workers. This is tru'
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-04-03

DASSAIC and other such towns are,
until strikes occur, veritable para
discs for the exploiters Of labor. It
is of no concern to the blood-suckers
who live on Park Avenue and other
streets of the nabobs whether their
slaves live 80 years or 80 months. II
they can squeeze every ounce OF vi
tally out of the bodies of their work
ers in a few short years they will do
so, knowing always that they can find
other slaves, even tho they may have
to scour the earth to do SO.
Only the working class Of the nar
ton can wipe out such plague spots
as Passaic and that can only be done
by aggressively encouraging organiza-
ton and melting the workers in these
pest holes to struggle against their
oppressors.
Either the working class Of Amer
lea will conquer Passaic or Passaic
conditions win spread to the rest Of
the country. Labor conditions in the
wooden industry constitute fostering
ulcer upon the economic life of the
country that must be eliminated by
the determined application of the
class struggle.

ton.
A frightful death rate among the
workers in the textile wooden mills
tells only part Of the story. The
United States labor bulletin, which
certainly cannot be accused Of pre-
senting favorable or even unbiased re-
ports regarding the condition of the
working class in this country is forced
to admit that the death rate from tu-

than onefourth greater than the aver
age for the whole population. Deaths
from pneumonia, Brights disease and
heart disease show a higher percent
age in this industry than in any
other.
This appalling mortality rate is due
not alone to the long hours in unsani
tary mills, but to the miserably low
wages that prohibit the workers from
obtaining sanitary dwellings in which
to eat and sleep after they are thru
with their drudgery in the CHASTITY

Wages Far Below Standard.
MANY Of the families Of strikers
ASA are people who strive in every
way to keep in a cleanly condition the
novels they inhabit and their efforts
toward this end are pitiful because
their meager wages prohibit them
from achieving desirable results.
The spinners and weavers who make
up the great bulk of wooden mill op-
sratiVes obtain weekly wages varying
from S12 to $22, while the third group
of workers, the spoilers, frequently re-
ceive wages as low as 50 per week.
OF course there are a few skilled
workers in every mill doing special
work who receive higher wages than
this, but they are the exception. Even
these miserably low wages which
have always prevailed d. not satisfy
the inordinate lust for profits Of the
bosses. A whole series of wage cuts
have ensued in the mills and when
complaints are made by the workers
to the individual bosses they are
bluntly told that if their family can
not live on what they receive to bring
some of the other members of their
family to the mills and put them to
work. And that is what is usually
done, in an effort to try to solve the
problem of endless slavery and stark
poverty.
The average wage of the mill work
ers in Passaic is less than half the
amount the budgets of the United
States department of labor declare is
essential for family to live accord
ing to American standards. The EN-
ployers' conception of a living wage
is one just sufficient to enable the
worker, his wife and the whole fam
lily, to drag around to the milf and
work thru the shift without dropping
dead in front of the machines. On the
faces Of the children Of the mill towns
is indelibly imprinted the mark Of
slavery; all of them are old before
their time. The amazing thing about
the Passaic strike is that these work
ers still have vitality enuf to fight OF
the picket line after spending the bet
ter part of their lives in the mills
where their very life blood is distilled
into profits for the parasitic StoehrE
and other mill owners who do mo-
even live in Passaic or in the state
of New Jersey but who live in this
