MISINFORMING STUDENTS

(5y Student Correspondent)
In one Of the classes at Lane
High School a discussion arose
about the coal strike agreement and
the version given it in the newspa-
pers. The instructor, Mr.. Ira Mes
tor, held up copy of The DAILY
WORKER and said: This is a red
paper and therefore do not believe
what it says. The article on the
coal strike agreement is just a
space filler. The larger papers
(meaning the capitalist sheets) Will
give you better account Of the set
Element Of the coal strike.
Mr.. Nestor, a number of the
students before whom you made
this little speech challenge you to
undertake to prove that the capital
ist press, serving its class, would
give the workers a truer version Of
this betrayal of the coal miners
than The DAILY WORKER, serving
its class, the workers.

Unions Retail Store Clerks.

After eleven years of ceaseless fight
ing the union clerks have gained a
nine-hour work day and a six-day work
week for their members. Despite the
fact that the labor laws of the state
of New York, prohibit a seyen-day
work week, they have to strike for a
six-day week and are quite often con-
fronted with injunctions for trying
to enforce the law. The union also OBJ
tanned for its members a minimum
wage of from $35 to $45 a week as
clerks and from $50 to $50 for man.

The spirit of the membership e

for fear that the union may gain hold
on them.
The union is not of the richest and
cannot boast of its treasury but let
any boss try to break the agreement
with the union and the members cover
the cost of the strike even if it mounts
into thousands of dollars. Each mem
Der contributes to the strike fund.
They fight back and today they are
stronger than ever and are still grow

When one realizes that the union
with its comparatively small men,
bership controls hundreds of stores
and that the small business man is
the bitterest enemy of unionism and
fights desperately against it, then one
is amazed at the spirit and the almost
superhuman efforts invested in the
members and leaders of the union to
carry on. No wonder this unions
called, "The fighting union, the union
that conducts strikes 365 days per
year."

During the years preceding the civil

with slavery was so fixed on the en-

and other legislation supporting the
institution Of slavery that they con-
doned murder and other crimes not
only In the enforcement Of these laws
but in opposing the efforts to get rid
of them.
Today, in the days before the great
revolution, the financial interests are
putting great stress on the enforce

Can the Workers Write for Our Press?
The Question of Worker Correspondents and Shop Bulletins

What Should be in the Shop Bulletin?
Now for the shop bulletin. A de-
veloped system of Worker Core
spondents lays a good basis for
live, snappy shop bulletin. OF what
shall the shop bulletin consist? Pri-
marily of the same kind of material
as mentioned hitherto; the material
used in the Worker Correspondents
columns--shop conditions and prob
lens. OF course. the shop bulletin,
as a party organ in the shops, must
be political in its content and out
look. Nevertheless, that does not
mean that comrades shall write long
screeds of alleged Marxism. A short
editorial comment, for example, on
one of the shop stories written by a
comrade; few lines on the Interna-
tional Labor Defense and its relation
to the working class movement, cit
ing some special case, such as the
zeigler case. Some lines explaining
and advertising The DAILY WORK
Err and party publications. Short out
lines OF the party campaigns, such as
the campaign for the formation of
councils for the protection of the for
eign-born, for labor party Mention
the need Of union organization. etc.
Further, all OF this material should
be written by the workers themselves,
not by one or two comrades called
the editorial board. This editorial
board should mainly concern itself
with the technic and makeup OF the
bulletin.
AS for financing the shop bulletin,
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-02-20

there is the method OF the rattle. In
Detroit the comrades recently raised
$4,000 to purchase multigraph for
shop bulletin publications. Collections
from the comrades, to begin with, a
small assessment or sustaining fund,
sale Of papers. which will develop
among the workers after a couple of
issues are out, etc. Efforts should
be made by the party city organiza-
tons collectively to purchase multi.
graph which would ensure publication
OF shop bulletins at an approximate
cost Of s1.00 per thousand copies.
Regarding distribution, that is a
matter Of each local situation. Dis
tribution can be before the factory
gates, by members Of street nuclei,
called upon TO aid the shop nuclei;
thru secret distribution by the shop
nuclei members themselves, in the
lockers, toilets, pasting on walls, and,
IL necessary, by getting the shop bull.
letin TO the workers in their homes
direct. Comrades can be specially Sc
lected for the latter method, that Is,
getting comrades to visit the homes of
workers with whom they are pretty
friendly as a result of close working
contact In the shop.
Experience viii show to the party
members many more ways and means
to become Worker Correspondents
TO publish and distribute the shop bull
letins in the shops and factories, but
the above may prove helpful. Com
rades should write In of their expert
ences and make suggestions.

TN yesterdays article, We took up
l. the question Of why staff OF
Worker Correspondents must be de.
veloped and Of what matters the
Worker Correspondents shall write.
The following are some suggestions of
ways TO get our comrades from the
shops, mills and fields to write, and
to lay basis for the issuance and
distribution of shop bulletins by the
shop nuclei.
1. In those cities where Worker
Correspondents classes have been al
ready established, every shop and
street nucleus shall send at least one,
or more, comrade to attend the class.
New York and Chicago classes are
proving successful.

spondents.
2. II a special class has not been
arranged, capable comrade should
be selected in each nucleus or sub
section, who can select q number OF
subjects on which to write. Divide
these subjects among the nucleus
members with insistence that they
write a story, no matter how short,
and bring II to the next nucleus meet
ing. The articles can then be read,
and corrections, II necessary, made.
The selection and assignment OF sub.
iects to members has often proved a
good method to get hesitating com
rades to write. These articles can
be written in either English or the

document lays the basis for the spread
of a campaign of terror among the
teachers under the charge of inef-
hciency.
A committee was elected to draw up
strong resolution of opposition and
condemnation. The resolution which
has been dubbed the declaration Of
rights" is to point out that the teach
ers have been deprived Of all rights
of self-expression in the school room,
and that the charge Of inefficiency Con
which several teachers have recently
been discharged, and which McAndrew
now holds as a club over the heads
of the rest of the teachers) is being
used to Brighten teachers who rebel
at the abuses of the administration.
Miss Haley reported to the meeting
that the question of putting refer
endum before the people for the pur-
pose of increasing taxes for school
funds, is coming up before the city
council Thursday. A motion was made
and unanimously carried authorizing
Miss Haley to appear before the coun-.
ell and reafiirm the opposition of the
Chicago Teachers Federation to a
raise in taxation for school revenue.
Miss Haley will point out that If the
large corporations will be compelled
to pay taxes which have been, and
which in many cases should have been
assessed against them, then there
would be ample funds to finance the
schools 1t was decided TO hold a large
mass meeting Of all teachers organiza-
tons in the city in order to deal with
the question OF taxation.

FORD WORKERS

Hypocrisy of Flivver
Magnate Made Clear
By a Worker correspondent

DETROIT Mich, Feb. IS - In an
interview printed in Golfers Weekly
Henry Ford pretends to maintain
higher than average wage rate and
that wages increase as the company
prospers.
speed-Up Workers.
In the body paint department pre-
vious to the changing of the model"
1903 men were employed to give each
body three coats of paint at an
average rate of s6.40 a day. After
the change to the spray system, the
number Of men employed is but "a
and they must turn out the same
number of cars that the los did be-
fore A wage increase in this depart
ment would cause SOME sensation as
the tendency has been for the com
pany to cut wages here rather than
boost them.
Five years ago, the oil sanders re-
ceived an average Of $7.2O, now they
receive $6.40. Color varnishers aver
aged 1920 now it is $640. The same
can be said of every operation on
body construction and painting.
No Wage Increases.
Ford tells in this article that he was
able to compel a body manufacturer
to cut the price from $50 to SIS on cars
built for the Ford Motor company by
insisting on rigid business manage
ment" and that the manufacturer was
able to pay bigger wages and made
more profits. AS to the assertion that
the manufacturer made bigger profits
there is no doubt, but the statement
that wages were increased is a false
hood as any worker in the plant re-
ferred to the Brigg Manufacturing
company, otherwise known as the
"hell-hole" of Detroit will readily test
fly. Intensive slave driving and wage
cutting are the methods employed in
the Briggs plant.
At present the Ford company plant
is running five days week. The
daily production in every department
has been SO fixed to make up in five
days the output that formerly took
six days.
In every department it is a com
mon practice for the foremen OF
service stools" to 60 around spying
on the workers. If any worker is
found chewing, splitting, talking,
laughing, failing to report for work on
time or is engaged in something other
than profit making for the iivver
magnate, he is Immediately sent to
the employment Office where he re-
ceives a sentence of "lay-off" if he
is working for the minimum wage and
if he is receiving higher then the
minimum wage he is fired and then
offered reinstatement at the $500
minimum.
FliVVer Magnate Exposed.
This policy of firing workers who
make over the minimum and rehiring
them at the low scale took place at
the rouge plant on a large scale,
where several thousand were fired
and later rehired at the $500 rate.
These facts show the hypocrisy of the
notoriety seeking flivver magnate.
