DESCRIBES FORD
SPEED-UP PLAN
AS IT OPERATES
Work Faster and Get
Less Pay
ey Worker correspondent.

JERSEY CITY, N. j., Nov. 49,
Henry Ford, in an interview, considers
i've days a week as a cold business
proposition. Studied in cold cash, it
works out splendidly for frugal Henry.
In the final assembly of the Kearney
plant, where a moving conveyor whips
Abe men into increasing action. eff
Oient production was made this week
In three days and seven and one-half
hours work. They were sent home
Friday at o'clock, which explains
the missing half hour. At the present
scale of wages, which includes the
mueh-advertised raises of III to
cents an hour, the men will draw from
S25 to $27 pay. Before going home
Friday, Nov. IL, they were told not to
report for work until the following
Tuesday morning.
Speeded Up.
Recently superintendent Gartha
went around the plant looking for
more action. AS he passed thru the
final assembly he demanded that the
men working alongside the line should
work directly on the moving conveyor,
thereby adding to operations already
loaded to capacity. In this way men
are constantly tested by having their
operations added to or doubled.
Statistics and records are also
brought into play. the operations, num-
Der of men employed and costs being
matched with other plants.
Workers Welded Out.
A definite weedlng-out process is
under way One man, John Morris,
was removed by the superintendent to
the salvage department after 10 years
of faithful service as a small boss.
He had under his control the wiring
of all outgoing cars, but was unfortu-
nate to get beyond the years favored
by Ford's speed and efficiency and was
replaced by a younger man of rs.
John Morris is now working in the
open Kearney meadows with about 40
bother men. There is no shelter while
salvaging old wood from rain or snow
and they are open to stiff breezes from
IAhe Passaic River In this way old
employes are eliminated thru addi-
1ional pressure and disagreeable jobs.

Long Hours.

Long 7ourS.
The average working day Is from
eight o'clock in the morning until
twelve at night. This day is divided
into three shifts: from s. to IL, IL to
6, and s to IL. The worker Is sup
posed to work two shifts per day. One
day he wArks from eight to six; the
next day, from IL to IL. One Sunday
he works from to IL; the following
Sunday, from IL to IL. This averages
seventy-four hours per week! And
what do you think the wages are:
from SIS to $25 per week! In the
chain stores like Mays and Nc
Cullocks, the wages are about rs per
cent better, but the work and disci-
pline is about rs per cent worse.
Students Compete.
During the summer months, the reg
ular workers are sometimes dropped
in favor of the students who are
having no school, and who will work
for less money. During the school
term, some students work after school
from six to twelve almost every night.
Their wages average about $1.25 an
evening.
A remedy is needed for this pitiful
condition. There are hundreds of such
"soda-jerkers" in Pittsburgh, but the
spirit of organization, which is the
only remedy, is lacking.

MEXICANS IN U. S.
ARE NOW AWAKE
/. TO ORGANIZATION
Union Already Formed
In San Diego
ey Worker correspondent.

SAN DIEGO, Cal, Nov. 1S.-The or
ganization Of the Mexican worker has
been thought impossible by many or
ganizers, for two reasons. First, be-
cause of the race prejudice that barred
the Mexican from the A. F. of L.
unions, and, second, that the major
ity of the Mexican workers were ig-
norant of the fact that they are being
organized for their own good and
against their enemies.
New awakening.
Now that the workers in Mexico are
being organized, they are awakening
to the fact in the United States that
they need organization.
The Confederation Regional Obrera
Mexicana (CRoM) is already taking
steps in combination with the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor toward the
organization Of the vast masses of un-
organized Mexican workers.
But the workers want mass organi-
zation, instead of being hog-tied into
trade unions. They want their own
va SohAAotlOhs AASy dhSdug nave LutlI
own organization here, La Union de
Trabajadores Mexicanos (Mexican
Workers Union), but it is only local
OF the Hold Carriers and Laborers'
Union. Therefore, they can only
bring In laborers while there are Mexi-
cans in every kind Of work here. And
that is the reason they want an or
ganization where they can take in any
Mexican worker, regardless of class of
craft.
Help Passalo.
To prove their willingness and their
spirit OF solidarity, we have only to
take into account what they are doing.
A motion was passed at the last
meeting of this union to send IS to the
Passaic strikers relief fund. They
are just starting to organize now and
hope to have a good organization soon.

COMP ENSATION
Testifies Falsely Before
Commission
BY JOE PLoTKIN,
lWorker cofresnondantN

HAMMOND, Ind, Nov. 1S.-Seven
months ago w. C. Crawford while
working as pipehtter helper, was
injured in an accident. Because of a
weak cable, a crane pulley block
weighing over 800 pounds fell on the
mans shoulder and injured him per-
manently.
The case was tried before the indus
trial board of Hammond.
Couldn't Work.
Crawford said he is 45 years Of age
and is a car builder. At the time of
the accident he was hit by the pulley
block on the left shoulder and on the
right foot. He lost much sleep be-
cause of pain. Altho he still suffered,
he went back to work, but had to quit
in few days because he could not
stand the PAIN Crawford went to
work many times after that. He had
many different kinds of work. But he
always had to quit after a few days
because of the pain in the shoulder.
Crawford received only 5000 since the
accident. He has a wife and four
children to support
DR.. Hack showed the commission
that Crawford could not move the arm
effectively. Crawford cried with pain
during the demonstration.
Company Doctor Lies.
The company doctor as a witness
was like man lost at sea. At first
he said that in order for Crawford
to get his arm in good shape he should
go back to work. After some hot
questioning by Mr.. Dorsey, Crawford's
attorney, the doctor admitted that the
arm was in a very bad condition and
disabled and should be treated by a
doctor. The company doctor tried to
keep himself in the good graces of his
bosses which paved him by testifyine
that Crawford is able to work.
The decision on the case will be
rendered at the next meeting of the
industrial commission of Indiana.

Paddy Mullins certainly is looking
after the interests of his best meal
ticket, the giant colored man. Harry
Wills. The latest action that Paddy
has taken is through the courts.
Mullins wants the governor of Penn
sylvania to stop the Dempsey-Tun-
ney fight and thereby deprive two
hard working, sincere gentlemen
from collecting a few hundred thou
sand dollars which innocent cash
customers will pay for the privilege
of seeing Jack Dempsey give Gene
Tunney the worst roughing he has
ever experienced.
First Paddy tried to stop the Fir
po-Dempsey bout but his attempt
was a terrible fizzle. The South
American met Dempsey, took his
licking and his money and departed
on a European tour. One is forced
to admire Mullins aggressiveness
but the chances of him stopping the
Tunney- Dempsey bout are about as
good as they were of stopping the
bout with Ffrpo. Mullins, who has
tried to stop few dozen battles
within the past few years and in
the same period has found time to
earn over 100000 with Wills, is to
be considered as one of the financial
wizards in the game.
The squad which came out for
Cony football yesterday was as large
as that on the opening day. The
team got its first taste of grass drills
and calisthenics. In addition to
this. Coach Pierce gave the backfeld
mon some extra work in handling
the ball and in shifting the ball in
their arms. The workouts for this
week are largely for the purpose of
getting the men in first class condi-
ton for one of the hardest cam
paigns in years.
Eight letter men and two others
who just missed getting letters will
be back at Hallowell High school for
football this year. The club has a
fairly easy schedule mapped out and
should win the majority Of its games
unless something unforeseen hap
pens.
