Original American
Receives Sample of
White Civilization
BY Worker correspondent.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Oct. 21.-Chief
Ca-poo-ey, head of Yuma Indian
tribe, was attacked with shotgun in
the hands of Yuma rancher. Aft
er plea of guilty, federal judge of
Los Angeles handed over to the white
faced christian" rancher an "In God
We Trust suspended sentence.
Christianity, civilization, the race SUI
periority lie as well as the white
mans burden" bunk work out wonder
fully in dealings with real Americans
in this country.
Chief Ca-poo-ey doesn't think much
of paleface justice. Nor do the Ne
groes, Chinese, Japanese, Haitians,
Mexicans and other exploited peo-
pies of color suffering under the ty-
rannical rule of the American plumber
bund.

position to tell the Eastman Kodak
Co. to go to warmer regions.
Some Yellow.
On the other hand there is another
considerable portion of the subsidized
slaves who would regard it honorable
to stool pigeon on the disconnected
workers.
While at the present time the eco
nomic pressure not being very strong,
the possibilities of organization among
these workers are more or less remote,
it is my candid opinion that when the
bosses start slashing wages still more,
as they undoubtedly will, the kodak
workers will welcome union organic
ers with warmer reception than they
are at present preparing for their
king"

BED MAKERS ON
STRIKE AGAINST
OPEN SHOP FIRM
Negro Workers Line Up
for Union 1000

Ninety members of Local ia Of the
Mattress, Box Spring and Spring Bed
Makers Union, are. on strike at the
factory Of the Superior Felt and Bed
ding company at 2447 Roosevelt Road.
Abominable Conditions.
About 95 per cent of these workers
are Negroes, and the pay and hours
are sufficient reason for strike, as
may be seen by the fact that of the
two shifts, the night shift works 70
hours and the day shift 10 hours. For
this hard and often unhealthy work
the average pay is only 80 cents an
hour. The most that may be made
after two or three years is from 35
to 40 cents an hour.
Yellow Dog Contract.
For several weeks union agitation
has been going on in the factory. The
company, knowing this, tried about
two weeks ago to force all workers to
sign a yellow dog" contract, not to
join any union. 1t sent those home
who would not sign. AT that time
nine finishers struck, and the boss
was forced to call them back on the
old terms without their signing the
yellow dog" slip.
100 Per Cent Strike.
Tuesday, however, another attempt
was made to force this anti-union
open shop contract on the workers.
But the union sentiment was so strong
that all refused to sign and, instead,
all without exception signed up for
union membership and struck 100 per
cent for recognition Of the union.
Yesterday morning, when the work
ers went on the picket line, they
found the city government had oblig-
ingly furnished the boss with about
a dozen police to guard several scabs
brought in to take the struck jobs.
The firm is advertising for scabs in
many OF the foreign language capital
list papers and in the English capitalist
dailies also. The strikers ask the
foreign language. workers to guard
against being led into scabbing.
Meeting Sunday.
The office of the union is at Room
500, 1876 West Washington street. and
Sunday at 2 D. m. the strikers are to
hold a mass meeting at 30 North
Wells street.

Assess Selves Hour
Pay For Coal Miners
BY DAVE RAPo.
(Worker Correspondentl

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 21-At a con
ference called by the British Miners
Relief committee of the Central La
Dor Conference, delegates from 40 To-
Gals voted that all affiliated unions
should assess each member one hours'
pay to aid the British strikers.
That this resolution wouldn't re-
main on paper was shown by the re-
Spouse with which the unions met this
decision. which was also approved by
the c. L. c., few days after the con-
ference, the Hold Carriers, No. 800
with a membership of $50, voted an
hours pay which brot in 1925.
A check was made out from the To-
calls treasury and turned over to the
secretary Of the conference. The
president of the Hold Carriers l.. u.
300 announcing the results of their
last meeting stated: II am an ex
British miner myself and l know very
well the conditions under which they
live, and that is why we didn't wait
till everyone will pay his assessment,
but made out check from the treas
ury to be sent as immediate help to
our fighting brothers"
Jewelry Workers Local union sent
in check for $40, Machinists' L. U
No. 311 voted so cent assessment
upon their membership. All of the
machinists here are getting small pay
but they have a large membership
which will bring in large sum Of
money.
Everyone who will donate an hours
pay will be given a striking button

ing the final raise under the new
agreement to SIS.
New York newspaper scales are now
$50 for day men, $66 for night men,
with $50 for the second night or LOB
ster" shift.
Didn't Get What They Wanted.
"Big Six" members wanted the
shorter workday more than the wage
increases. LastIspring the local union
made general demands for a six and
one-half hour day in place of the
present seven and one-half hour sched-
ule, and for wage gains of Sc week.
Realizing there might be difficulty in
getting both demands a referendum
vote was taken as to which should be
pressed in the negotiations. The mem
bership voted overwhelmingly for re-
duction in worktime, in preference to
mere wage increases.
Seek to Undermine Rules.
The publishers then made an offer
which was rejected by a 1,290-to-7
vote. The offered IS increase, with no
cut in hours, provided the union would
scrap its rule requiring the resetting
of the bogus" or advertising matrices.
The existing rule requires every bit
of advertising copy to be set up in
every newspaper plant where it is
used. Thus a department store ad
appearing in the various morning
newspapers must be set up separately
in every composition room.
This rule means more work for the

cago Typographical Union 10, In which
protest was made against the strike
breaking Russian language daily,
Russky Observation-Disclosures, published
in Chicago. When the protest was
not read from, the platform 1t was
circulated among the delegates by
friends of the striking printers.
Tho paying less than half the union
scale, this paper claims to be the or
gan of the Russian trade unions of
the United States. That there are no
Russian trade unions in the United
States does not bother the editors.
Congress Splits.
The congress in Philadelphia split,
delegates relate, by the combination
of anarchists and monarchists running
away from the congress after being
defeated on two major questions. They
met in a separate hall and formed a
united front against the labor delega-
ton. Returning to the congress, the
chairman, Kolesnikov, declared the
congress dissolved. Kolesnikoy is a
former member of the counter-revolu-
tionary Merkulov government of the
Far East. He was leading the mon
archist delegation. The editor of the
scabby Russky Observation-Disclosures, Ivan
okuntzov, was the spokesman for the
anarchists. He is now a member of
the new joint committee formed by
the anarcho-monarchist combine.
The monarchist group centers around
the scattered Russian churches in
America, while the Communists and
are intrenched in the Rus
sian children's schools, the mutual aid
societies, co-operatives and similar or
CARNATIONS.
Unity To Be Achieved.
Ten Chicago delegates from this
group and two monarchists went to
the Philadelphia congress. AS a re-
suit of the split new national con-
gress will be organized on the basis
of existing district declarations.

room force. But the publishers. seek
ing reduction in costs, have long
sought the abolition Of this rule so
that the copy might be set up only
once and matrixes distributed to the
several plants, thus eliminating extra
composition work. eG
Lynch Aided Bosses Against Union.
The final alternative offer of the
publishers dropped the clauses about
the bogus" but refused the shorter
workday demand, tho granting the
SO and two 81 raises International
President Lynch and the international
executive council supported the pub
fishers offer and told big Six" that
it had the alternatives of accepting
the proposition or. submitting to ar
bitration.
Arbitration involved the danger that
the question of the bogus" might again
come up and the loss of this reset
ting rule would throw so many men
out of work that it was feared the life
of the local union might be threat
ened. The local scale conference COM
mittee then recommended acceptance
to the membership and the pact was
adopted by vote of S86 to 404.
Refused to Sanction Strike.
Strike action, the international Of
ficers had informed the local union,
would not be sanctioned. Lynch loses
office November 1.

Los Angeles Workers
Are Not Excited at
Talk About Leagues
BY L. p. RINDAL.
worker Correspondent.l

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Oct. 21.-The
following report, headlined British
Labor Hits Treaties" was found hid
den in corner of a morning paper
yesterday: "MARGATE, England, Oct.
1.-THE Labor Party conference, in
session here today, adopted resolu-
ton demanding the annulment of the
Versailles treaty and the Dawes plan
and reputation of the Locarno pacts,
which were described as a threat d.
rected at Russia. The resolution also
urged the adoption of policy Of world
disarmament"
With the above mentioned treaties
and paets wiped out, the imperialists'
league of nations-now resting on a
volcano-will be gone forever. But
what do the workers Of Los Angeles
think about this question:?
Well-Arthur Brisbane lin his "Bris-
bunk" column "Today') is advocating
a league of American nations-nprth,
center and south, with plenty Of air
ships and submarines for the central
power, the United States, in order to
control the combine. ~~
Moscow, Not jefferson.
Generally speaking the workers
are not interested either Sin Euro
pean or an American league of this
character This was fully demonstrat,
ed last Sunday evening, Oct 10, when
Lew Head, Pasadena newspaperman,
lectured at the Open Forum on the
subject of "rhe World Court" "a
branch of the imperialistic Wilsonian
league of war against weak nations.
The speaker himself opposed the
present league. He was not able, how
ever, to create much sentiment for
the move back to the Jeffersonian
period-1776, the Forum crowd looking
forward, not backward.
Another speaker captured the audi
ence by recommending, "a League Of
Nations with Headquarters in Mos
cow.

uer1ul as lney are portrayed 10 De by
seems to the writer considerable
rejoicing among the workers of the
kingdom over the return of their king
Being one Of the kodak workers, l
fail to see anything of the kind On
the contrary, hear remarks made
about uncle" George, which would
indeed be very exasperating were they
to reach his ears.
How Can You Be7
1t may be surprising to many of us
that the kodak workers should be SO
ungrateful to their king, who, by the
way, contributes millions of dollars to
charitable and educational institutions
and for which he is lauded to the skies
by his servant newspapers, and to the
company over which he reigns, which
distributes several millions of bucks
per annum among the workers in the
shape OF stock and wage dividends.
There are, however, reasons, in the
light of which this attitude on the part
Of the workers is justified.
"5edaux System"
One of these reasons is the speed
up process, which has taken strong
grip III the kodak plants. The partic-
ular system which is put into opera
ton here is known as the "Bedaux
point system" SO notorious is this
system that the largest of the plants
in this city, Kodak Park" has been
nicknamed by the workers Kodak
Point" Aside from increasing the
production per capita, in some in
stances to as high as three to four
times the former output, this system
has also brought about an enormous
increase in the number of accidents.
Numerous Accidents.
Sometimes one has to pinch himself
to determine whether he is awake or
is dreaming of the scenes of the battle
front so many manned and crippled
does one come across. Uncle" George
being so we'll thought of in this city,
he or his must not be mentioned in
connection with anything unpleasant,
so there are very seldom any reports
in the local papers of the accidents
at the kodak plants.
Stock Bonus Scheme.
Another reason for this ingratitude
on the part of the workers toward
their king and his company is the
perhaps slowly, but nevertheless
surely, dawning realization that the
wage-dividends and stock which they
receive annually are merely bait by
means of which they can be induced
TO work for low wages under slave
driving conditions. Interesting in this
connection is the fact that within the
past year the distribution of stock to
new employees has been discontinued,
the officials of the company probably
feeling that they have subsidized a
sufficient number of workers to pro-
vide them with an efficient 'scab"
nucleus in event of future labor trou-
bles
A considerable portion of those who
have been subsidized are, however,
awaiting the day when they will be
given complete control over their
stock in order that they may be in a

STATE CHECKING UP
ON HEADLIGHT EVIL
i,457 Cars With Binding Beams
g Found in Two Nights

The state motor vehicle depart
ment has received from Superintend-
ent Robert T. Hurley of the state
police a report showing that two
state policemen stopped 1,457 auto
mobiles with glazing headlights in
two nights during the past month
The officers were assigned to certain
highways with instructions to stop
each car which in their opinion, had
dangerously sharp headlights. No
arrests were made. The policemen
merely informed each operator they
stopped that his headlights needed
attention.
The check-up was made at the re-
quest of the motor vehicle depart
ment, which is attempting, through
the medium of the eastern confer
ence of motor vehicle administrators
to relieve the headlight situation,
not only so far as Connecticut cars
are concerned, but cars registered
throughout the east. The purpose is
to get all the states in the eastern
conference. which includes all on the
Atlantic seaboard from Maine to
Virginia, inclusive, and several 9TH
ers, to,-arriye at solution from a
technical as well as administrative
standpoint. The matter has been
the subject of communications with
the bureau of standards OF the
United States department of COM
merce, and lighting engineers of
different states in the eastern con-
ference are working together to
agree on improved methods of road
Illumination.
Fifty-six different makes of cars
were found by the Connecticut state
police, in the two-nights checkup,
to have glazing headlights. The
makes OF cars listed in the report
TO the motor vehicle department
ranged from the most common to
the most exclusive cars on the high
ways.

Captain NJ. W. Rasmussen, super
intendent of the fifth coast guard
district has announced that ten
guardsmen have been placed under
arrest and more than that number

many more have been dropped pend

In one instance, Is men, the en-
tire personnel OF station, when fac
ed with the confession of their COM
handing officer, asserted that the
question OF cooperation with rum
runners had been put to vote and
that they unanimously decided OF

One member OF this station was
youth OF 90, who formed a close
friendship with Rasmussen Hile
guiding him nhunting trips.
One station commander admitted
that his wife had acted as go-be-
tween. telephoning agents of the
rum runners and informing them at
what time and where they could
bring in liquor.
