ARTIST
ASSISTS DAILY
WORKER PARTY
"Six Live Pages" to Be
Presented Wednesday

Dancers in striking costumes OF or
iginal design, strapping workers in
well worn overalls, little boys and
girls in gay colored dress and Henry
Dubb" paper hats, all drilling in rapid
succession on a stage that was riot
of color to the tune of music that set
ones feet moving7this was the pict-
ure of yesterdays dress rehearsal Of
the labor pantomime six Live Pages"
to be presented at The DAILY WORK
Err Birthday Party on Wednesday
night at Imperial Hall, 24O9 N. Hal.
sted st.
Such a pretentious affair has never
been attempted before in Chicago. The
cast under the skillful direction of
Emma Blechschmidt numbers fully
forty to fifty people, with five leading
dancers, sixteen children, about
workers, strikers and police-and full
ly dozen stage hands and directors.
One thing was in full evidence: here
was truly something different-some-
thing new" to which both thought
and time and a great deal of labor had
been given-and for which the adver-
Using was really too modest.
The stage settings and costumes
are nothing short of beautiful and
strikingly original The Communist
artist Lydia Gibson has done splend-
id job Of her end Of the production.
The dancing is finished production
thanks not only to the ability of the
five main dancers,but also the capable
direction of Emma Blechschmidt.
A song breaking the pantomime
with the whole cast participating will
thrill you to the s1oe-tops-- and the
sixteen youngsters marching on the
stage is worth gong many miles to
see.
No mention of tbs pantomime can
be complete without a word for the
splendid musical arrangement by
Evelyn Mack. Thl, lively tunes Just
naturally move oni's feet-and who
ever goes to tbs, affair tomorrow
night goes to somahing that will long
be talked about and a credit to the
group who have pIoduced it.
Many novel things that are part of
the program CAM It be told in adj
vance. All that IN be said is that
dancing precedes Ed follows the pro-
gram; that home BOXED food can be
had all during thu e'usrarn; that sur
prisies await all 1lho come-and that
if anyone misses this affair at 24O9
N. Halsted st. Wednesday night
will miss the mos novel affair that
has ever been presented in Chicago.
Arrangements 1fe already being
made to present 5he performance in

ference decided to consolidate its
forces and organize a Verband of Pro-
gressive Branches, which is going to
fight the reactionary machine as a
united progressive bloc.
The conference was called to pro-
test the outrageous action of the ma
tional executive which expelled six
members of Branch "a, dissolved the
branch and made more than one hun.

The conference met at time when

committee of eighteen, representative
of all states where branches are or
ganized, to request the board to take
up grievances against the nationa
executive.
The entire delegation at the con
ference, numbering 324, marched Il

sink with a trickle of cold water.
Two years ago Morris and Armour
amalgamated and we began to pack
some of the oleo in Morris" boxes
manufactured and packed in Armour's
plant! All Morris workers who had
been forced to take part in the Nor
ris fund, which was to support them
on retirement, lost their rights. The
loyal few" who had scabbed thru
every strike for nigh thirty years
found how we'll rewarded they were.
There are some skilled workers
in the maintenance department-car-
penters, boilermakers, plumbers,
painters, etc. They are unorganized
and are paid As to So cents an hour.
Lousy With Finks.
The plant is lousy with company
finks, some of them wearing police
uniforms. No one is allowed to en-
ter the plant save workers wearing
Armour's slave tag" Each tag has
a number and section on it (meat,
oleo, etc.,. If a fink, who is able
to read, meets meat man in another
part of the plant, he will take him to
his foreman and demand an explain
alton. Luckily that few of them can
read and if man can slip his fore
man, he can tend to his business any
where in the plant.
Workers Dissatisfied.
There is a company union. Armour
publishes and gives away dope
sheet-the Armour oval which
gives a lot of space to the trained
seal' union. Neither the union nor
the dope sheet interests the men
much. They are so speeded up and
undergrad that they are ripe to strike
again as they did four years ago.

drawal of the maintenance men, that
Cappellini got the police court of Scran-
ton to sentence Alex Reid and Pat
Toohey to six months in jail, officials
of the miners union appearing in
court to testify against the two pro-
gressives. The speeches of Reid and
Toohey at the meeting where they
were arrested were practically con-
fined to the demand for calling out the
maintenance men.
A Slap at Lewis-cappeIllni Machine,
In the resolution passed by the gen.
eral grievance committee, there is,
therefore, direct slap at the treach-
erous policy of Cappellini and the
Lewis machine, and further approval
of the long neglected policies Of the
progresives is given in the pledge for

mands and fiat rejection of abritra-
ton however disguised.
That the danger Of arbitration is
great, in spite of the growing pressure
being put upon Lewis not to betray
the strike demands, is seen by the dis
patches from New York where behind
closed doors the shady trading is 60
ing on. Reports state that Lewis Of
fered to the operators a five-year con.
tract, the provisions of which might
be changed by board of five," two
miners, two operators and three to be
named by Charles E. Hughes, ex-secre-
tary of state and a reactionary leader
of the reactionary capitalist republi-
can party.
Pressure of Rank and File.
The operators are said to have re-
fused to accept the proposal, evidently
feeling they can get better one or
smash the union entirely. They voted,
however, to accept Chairman Markle's
proposal that the miners proposition,
the operators and Markle's own pol
icy, be submitted to ex-Secretary
Hughes and he to formulate a plan
that would be the basis for a contract.
The miners opposed this on the ground
that it was arbitration.
Apparently the Lewis machine is
finding it difficult to betray the miners

ranks is growing stronger against any

the girls $3.50.
Anyone who eats Armour's oleo
gets his "peck Of dirt" without doubt.
If a piece of cleo falls on the floor it
is thrown on the cart again. The pace
is so fast, the girls have to grab the
bricks in their hands to wrap them
(tho the rules say they must not be
touched by hand).
Stand In Water.
All the cleo workers have to stand
in at least half an inch of water the
whole working day and nearly all
have constant colds.
It would be a simple matter to
slope the floor and put in runways
to drain off the water-but the COM
pany will not do 1t as that would cut
into its profits.
Beef Men Have Bad Job.
Another bad job is Juggling the beef
into the refrigerator cars. The tenn
perature is ten degrees below freez-
ing. This work is especially bad in
summer. The man goes into this cold
place in the early morning. Then at
noon he comes out to eat his lunch
and warm up. Thirty minutes later

es make colds even more common
than among the wet foot cleo men

The six big meat packing-houses in.
the National, Stock Yards here are
Armour and company, Morris and
company, which is owned by Armour,
the East Side Packing company, and
the Standard Packing company.
Boards Aid Bosses.
Armour. Swift and the Morris plant,
which is part of Armour's, have con-
ference boards thru which the bosses
discuss ways and means of putting
over new schemes to better exploit
the workers. The conference board
spends most of its time discussing
waste in one department or another
or else repairs for leaky steam pipes
and how to cut down costs. Thru
this board they try to find ways and
means of cutting down the working
forces, speeding-up the men at work
and how to keep the workers from
joining any union organization.
The Amalgamated Meat Cutters and
Butcher Workmen's Union has small
local here and have been talking about
organizing workers in the yards" but
that's as far as it has gone. The
packing-house teamsters and chauff-
eurs are organized in union. The
great mass of workers are morgan
lied and the company certainly takes
advantage of this condition.
PenltentIary Rules.
A strict police system is maintained
in the yards" here. A worker cannot
pass from one department to another.
He must remain in his department
from the moment he enters in the
morning until he leaves at night. Only
the messenger boys, whom the com.
pany claims will be the future execu-
tives and heads" are allowed to go
from one department to another. The
uniformed police are stationed at
every entrance and will not let any.
one pass. These police have keys to
all OF the lockers and can open the
lockers at any time they may cast
their suspicion" on anyone that
works in the yards" A number Of
stoolpigeons are employed in the
plant to find out who belongs to the
union and 10 get them fired. The pur
pose Of these stools is to keep the
workers from organizing into unions
Of their own.
Bosses Get Pensions.
A pension system is in operation il
the plant, but no one knows how 4
works. Most Of the workers that were
in the yards" went on strike in 1925
and lost their standing as far as the
pension Is concerned. The pension
system is used as a club over those
that have been employed in the shoI
for any length Of time and scabbet
for the company and IS used as bal
for those who are In the yards" nov
to stay there. As far as the workers
themselves are concerned, hardly an!
of them will ever get the pension. Thu
company fires those who are not able
to stand the fast pace that is set. AL
that will ever get the pension is 1
small clique Of foremen, superintend
ents, Office help and stoolpigeons.
Eat Lunch In Locker Rooms.
All the workers get for their lunch
time is half an hour. They must ea'
their lunches in the lockerrooms
