L. A. Unionists Tax

Worker Correspondent


LOS ANGELES, Dec. 5. - AS a re-
suit of an hours work tax on every
Los Angeles trades unionist, decided
upon by the trade union conference
and approved by, the Central Labor
Council, the first 1852 has been for
warded to the A. F. of L. for the Brit.
ish miners.
More money is still coming as many
unions are still collecting the hours
pay from their members. Altho the
hours work for British miners was a
voluntary tax, many unions responded
wonderfully, and those who have be-
fore thru their internationals, gave
again.
The example of labor solidarity is
even more significant with the fact
that in the late American miners
strike the C. L. c. could not raise
more than $500 for our own striking
miners.

Secretary Buzzel said he objects to
giving credentials or to accepting

ject her propaganda.
President tombstone ruled an

money was to go to the A. F. of L.
out of order.
Delegates from the cigarmakers
and painters pointed out that the A.
F. Of L. has supported Communist
leadership in the Passaic strike and
if the council denied credentials to
Mother Bloor they would be acting
contrary to the A. F. of L.
However, the recommendation OF
the executive committee to refuse Gre

however, did not work out just right

tons proving the rule.
The main charge against these Of

State Senator Barr
Predicts Passage of
His Franchise Law

SPRINGFIELD, Ill.,-That the next
general assembly Of the state will
pass legislation authorizing termin-
able franchises is the prediction Of
State Senator Richard ]. Barr, who
has been. holding hearings on the
question in various cities of the state.
A bill of this. nature, sponsored by
Barr, was defeated in the last legis-
Iature.
On the success OF this legislation
depends one of the several possible
solutions of Chicago's traction muddle.
Another angle of the question is the
extension of electricity to the farms
of the state, which, it is claimed, is
now hampered because the control OF
franchises is in the hands OF the
cities where the power plants are To-
Gated. One expert on the subject
estimates that it will require an In
vestment of over 1875 millions to cleo
trify the farms of Illinois, which are
now far behind those Of Wisconsin in
the supply of current.

Paper Box Bosses Try
to Use Race Hatred
in Fight on Workers
BY a Worker Correspondent.

NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-The bosses in
the paper box makers strike are using
every means to keep alive the ancient
hatred between colored and white
workers. Every cab load Of colored
boys and girls which they gather in
Harlem Is told that the bosses would
have hired colored workers long ago,
only the white workers objected. They
tell these young people that the white
workers have refused to work with
them heretofore.
In reply to this wall of the bosses,
one of the strike leaders says that
some time ago the white workers
forced the hiring Of colored girls, and
that these girls went into the union.
Some OF these colored girls are now
strike leaders in the present trouble.
Many strikebreakers are using raz-
ors in arguments with strikers. Some
girls have been hurt and several have
come into headquarters, with their
clothing slashed.

FORD THROWS
WORN WORKERS
into The Street
Those Who Can't Speed
Must Go, He Says
BY A Ford Worker.

DETROIT, Mich, Dec. s. Charles
Lorenson, Ford's right hand man, in
an interview recently for a capital
istic paper, declared that in order to
be successful In running all plants on
5-day basis with a raise in wages,
the management must get rid Of
"drones," that is those who are loaf
ing on the job. No doubt the capital
ist press believes every word of this,
but we workers know better.
Get Rid OF Worn-out.e
We can see every day who is be-
ing laid off. Those workers who have
been sweating on production lines for
several years, prematurely physically
worn out, ready for the industrial
scrap heap must be gotten rid Of,
Ford says.
1t is said that few years ago the
management could put disabled work
ers on some lighter jobs. But those
days are over. Now, even workers
who were crippled in the process of
the speed-up system are also thrown
out on the street. Now, these work
ers, whose sweat and blood made mil
lions for Ford are useless to this in
dustrial moloch. So they must suffer
from cold and hunger. And the work.
ers who are fortunate enough to re.
main on jobs are speeded up faster
than ever.
How They Speed.
For example, In the motor assem-.
bly, building, last year there were
from Z to lines in operation, with a
production of from so to IS motors,
Now there are only lines, and these
produce from 75 to so motors per
hour. So, not many workers have
benefited from the loudly heralded
raise in wages.
There is also much discomfort
among the workers, but that is only
the beginning. Production has beer
curtailed to such an extent that only
2 or 3 days are being worked weekly

ENDICOTT, N. Y, Dec. 5. - An
article has been posted on the bulletin
board at the Endicott Johnson Shoe
factory telling the workers how they
can become rich by saving money by
loaning their money to the company
at 6 per cent interest. Thus, Friend"
George F.. Johnson, as he signs all Of
his letters pretending to be friend
of the workers, is trying to get back
the little money that the workers re-
ceive from the hard work they have
to do.
How Can They Do 1t?
The workers want to know how they
can save any money out of the wages
of from SIS to $40 a week they make
here. The writer had an average pay
of SIS week all this year. And here
nearly every married man has to have
his wife go to work in the shop to
help support the family.
Uses Bonus System.
The bonus system is used in the
Endicott Johnson to speed up the
workers and to keep them from quit
ing their jobs. The workers are work
ing their best now because the bonus
time is near. All are speeded up now
so that they can't go any faster. You
have to put out good work and plenty
of it to make 81 or SIS day. The
bosses are always behind your back

watching you and bawling you out, if
you don't step on it,"
What The Bonus is.
Every worker that works for the
Ell for two or more years is entitled
to the bonus providing he doesn't quit
his job before the last of the year,
and If he or she puts in less than "a
hours week, the workers lose a
weeks bonus. Last year each work
ers received SS7 for 81 weeks, which
does not amount to much when you
figure the time you have to put in.
They have no regular hours of work
in the factories. Some workers work
from o'clock in the morning to 6
o'clock at night, especially girls who
make the upper part of the shoe.
Piece Work.
When they hire an employe they
start him on piece work. Some OF the
new workers don't even make a dollar
day. (And how some Of the suckers
praise the company!) The bosses tell
you that If you speed up you can make
good money. Some of the older work
ers in the shop don't even stop for
lunch, but stick to their machine so
Ghey can make enough to live on.
The workers should not pay any
attention to the articles put out by
the boss. They are urged to subscribe
for The DAILY WORKER, the one
paper that speaks for the working
class.
