LUMBER BOSSES
FEAR power OF
WORKERS UNITY
Go to Big Expense to
Keep Them Apart
BY VIM. scHNEIDERMAN.
y Worker Correspondent


Fort Bragg, California, Is little
lumber town completely domlnted by
the Union Lumber company which lit
orally owns the town and everything
in It. Even access to the bay Is OBJ
structed by the yards Of the company.
The two newspapers that are pub
lished weekly are subsidized and be-
sides the life-and-death notices print
long eulogies of loyalty and co-opera-
ton" with the boss. Two more reac-
tionary sheets could not be found any
where in America. ESQ
Teachers Gagged.
The public school teachers are care
fully picked by servants of the COM
pany for their reactionary views. One
of the more intelligent teachers of
Fort Brabb said to the writer, "The
smallest expression of liberal senti-
ments or anything that is not COM
pletely 100 per cent American would
be enuf not only to take our Job
away, but to drive us from the county,"
In this way even the teachers are
driven into the ranks of the class con-
scious workers.
The business interests have attempt
ed to boycott and drive out the Finn
ish Cooperative, by refusing to sell
them goods, or allowing them to print
advertisements, and with similar
threats. 4o
Injuries are numerous in the lumber
camps. Only last week, man had
his finger cut off, and the bosses, of
course, blamed it on carelessness.p
Import scabs. 'Hla@~
Many times the lumber companies
of Humboldt and Mendocino counties
have imported lumber jacks all the
way from Maine to head off a strike
or sporadic walk-out, most of whom
were ignorant Of the purpose for which
they were brot. 1t would have cost
less for the companies to grant
wage increase than to import scabs.
but they are willing to go to any ex-
IRENE to prevent the encouragement
of a union organization, which they
fear.
The intense exploitation Of the men
in the woods and mills makes them
extremely susceptible to propaganda
for the union, despite their backward
ness because Of language and nation
atty divisions, and the effective black
list system of the companies. Altho
the lumber workers know from expert
ence they will have to face thugs and
clubs, the more advanced of them
realize that they are helpless to fight
the bosses unless they can organize
union of organized resistance to the
open shop conditions prevailing. With
the initiative of few militant lead
ers to start the ball a-rolling, it can
be done.

course this, law, like all the laws of
this capitalist government, was chan
ged to serve the capitalists better,
and the provision of fixed amount
for certain limbs was made.
This state compensation law can be
blamed for the recent increase in such
injuries. An employer pays insurance
and that is, all the responsibility he
has. When workers in a factory are
injured the law protects the employ
er. The worker cannot sue him. Why?
Because laws under capitalism are not
made for the benefit of the workers.
The number of such accidents are
appalling. 1t is up to the workers to
carefully look into this matter and
work for a farmers and workers
government which will support the in
terest of the workers.

which protects the employers.
When this mans fingers were lost
to him the company promised him a
permanent job so as to pacify him.
But it was only a short time after
that he was laid off. AS to the COM
pensation it does not amount to a
drop in the ocean. 1t provides him
with ten dollars week for two years,
a provision which is an invitation to
commit suicide.
To sum up what the compensation
law did for him-he can neither live
on $40 a week nor can he get employ

are gone for the rest of his life.

In the opinion Of many It may prove
to be good thing for the miners,

the case If their own grievances had
been settled in advance.
have put the bald facts, that it
may be understood what the nature
of our industrial machinery is. In
numbers we are perhaps better organ
lied than some other countries, but
we are far from being properly or
ganized. 1t is true to say. however,
that the mental outlook OF the trade
unionists is distinctly better than in
the past. There is a clearer concep-
ton Of what should be the objective
of the unions and a stronger deter
mination to have the unions used not
only for the purpose of immediate bet
terment Of conditions but always max.
ing for the complete control Of in
dustry by the workers The capitalist
press is bitterly hostile to all such
efforts and is Systematically engaged
in providing obstacles to the workers
progress.
