The rumor is that in the United

Capitalists know this better than we
do and they bring their plants to US in
Canada. New saw mills, under Ame-
rican management, spring up like
mushrooms. but their pay is even less
than at native mills. This has influ-
enced Canadian manufacturers to cut
wages 10 and rs per cent.
The time is ripe for the workers in
our industry to organize. II we would
get together and consider these condi-
tions the bosses would not be able
to keep us so enslaved. Most of the
workers grumble, but go no further.
They should read The DAILY WORK

Should We Tolerate Such
Union Leadership?
Slug Worker.

Now for the mass meeting at Mari
anna, which was called to protest
against the Bethlehem Steel corpora
ton for breaking their agreement
with the United Mine Workers of
America and for opening their mines
under the 1917 scale. Before the meet
ing started some progressive miners
handed out leaflets, calling on the
miners to fight against the 1917 scale
and against the rotten officials that
are holding them back from a real
militant fight. AS soon as Pagan read
it he became as mad as a bull when
he sees red. He gathered his gang
of sluggers and went out hunting for
the person distributing these leaflets
They found a man distributing leaf
lets and viciously attacked him. and
accused the man of being paid by the
company If it wasn't for the crowd
of men that gathered around they
would have killed him.
When they Investigated the leaflets
stolen from this man they had beaten.
they found that 1t wasn't what they
were after, because the leaflets were:
Hands off China, Stand by Soviet
Russia" In their mad fury they open
ed the meeting and forgot they went
there to speak against Chas. Schwab.
When the district president took the
floor he wanted to show the miners
that Foster, Ruthenberg and the pro-
gressives were paid by the company
to break the union. The miners knew
better. They called him a liar and
made him change the subject of his
speech, which was mighty hard for
the great" labor leader"
Miners, the sooner you find out
what your present leaders are the
better for you and your union.

If worker takes sick he is paid

Speed Up Workers with
Bonus System
ey a Worker correspOndent


After standing in line for number
pany, 18th and Peoria Sts., manufac-
turers Of paints and lead, the boss
came out and hired a number of work
ers among which were myself and my
partner. When the boss came out and
eyed us over, one would think that
he was buying a horse or COW.
The company doctor gave us a
medical" examination. He asked us
if we had good appetites, tapped our
stomachs, looked at our teeth and de-
clared we were ready to do anything
in the plant.
We were then placed to work lug
ging around barrels of lead weighing
from $50 to 200 lbs. For doing this
for ten hours a day the company paid
us 471a cents an hour.
One Of the workers, who was work
ing on the vat where the lead is
melted, dropped at his work and was
brought up to the doctor by two men.
Another worker who had been in
the place three years complains that
his health is bad and that he intends
to leave as soon as things get better
somewhere else. The workers do not
stay long at this plant Workers are
hired in the morning and many quit
before the day is over
When / had worked there for six
hours or so I went to the boss and
told him that the work was too heavy
for a ten hour day and that the pay
was too small. The boss declared
s. that if did not want to work for that
pay or those hours to get out and
stay out.
The next day my partner was fired.
The reason the boss gave was that his
partner had objected to working ten
hours day at 471Sc an hour and
we don't want any damned agitators
around"
A bonus system is maintained in the
plant. Thru this system the workers
are forever speeded-up and the mo-
ment that one of them who does not
care for the bonus system refuses to
lug a double load around on a truck
or to rush around as tho he was mad
one of the company lickspittles shout
hurry UP shake leg"
The timekeeper in the plant acts as
the company spy. He goes from one
department to another checking up to
see who is at work, who he is and
does all he can to find out if the new
worker belonged or belongs to a
union or not.

keep the workers from remaining
there any longer than is absolutely
necessary. The toilets which are also
in this hut are all dirty with water
constantly dripping from tanks over
head a-
But the exploitation of the white
worker is mild compared to the per-
secution Of the Negro worker. The
boss compels him to do all the heav-
lest work. When the weather is bad
the Negro must work out in the rain
and snow while the other workers are
in the shed. Negro workers are sub
jected to mistreatment by the plant
police whose job seems to be to find
out which among them are class con-
scious.
The straw boss, Patrick Duffy, be-
ing a willing tool of the owners, never
misses an opportunity to spread as
much national hatred as possible. Not
only that, but the company has stool
pigeons to spread hatred between the
workers of the same racial group,
upon religious, social and cultural
lines.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-02-26
There are also halls for meetings.
How Workers Play over There.

In the city there are large club
rooms where workers find recreation
and companionship. There is always
a good program going on in those
larger clubs. They contain a gym
nasium and there is dancing regularly.
A nursery is attached to each one Of
those club rooms where workers leave
their babies until they are ready to
go home. The nursery is provided with
small beds for the babies and a train
ed nurse takes care of them.
The ruling class of Soviet Russia
is the workers. The factories belong
to them. They live in the best houses.
When they build new homes they are
for workers. They can take in a NOV
ing picture show or a good play alb
soiutely without charge. At the opera
worker pays half price. His fare
on street cars is three kopeks while
all others pay ten kopeks. And the
rule that everyone must work that he
may eat is strictly adhered to.

Despite widespread publicity for
The supposedly great success" that
has met this years exchange Of min
'sters for one day between white and
Negro churches on race relations, day
arranged by the Interracial church
federation to promote the sham of

Of christianity, the Jim-crow attitude
Of the white churches and the com
mittee has been severely criticized by
the Negro press.

to such bumkum as the fact that they

problem must come thru christians

gates the Interracial church fedora
ton for their statements that this
years exchange of ministers proved
the greatest progress in the history
Of Chicago in the development Of ami
cable race relationships between the
white and Negro races" and branded
this and other statements as just
plain "hokum.'
Local ministers of the largest Negro
churches who allowed their pulpits to
white preachers for this day, were
sent to small white churches on the
outskirts of the city-one as far as
GAINESVILLE, Wis.-ninety miles from
Chicago. A reporter sent to cover the
sermon of a Negro preacher in white
church, told of it being so far away
that he rode street car as far as it
went, then he rode bus as far as it
went, and finally walked as far as he
could go-and was then almost to the
church"
Send Negro Preachers to Sticks.
Negro ministers having friends
among white ministers and arrang-
ing for the exchange Of their pulpits
between themselves were not allowed
to act on their agreements but had to
take pulpits assigned to them out "in
the bushes" where God was evidently
less particular. Another minister was
sent to a German Lutheran church
where he refused to go.
The Jim-Crow attitude Of the white
churches proves the Negro worker
can expect no social nor economic i'm
provement from the white church in
this or in any other world, nor can he
expect it from the Negro church that
co-operates with the church of the
whites. Quite obviously he will have
to depend on his own power and
strength, together with white work
ers thru political and economic or
ganization.

ENGLISH MINERS

Laborites Tell of Dur
ham Workers Distress

LONDON, Feb. 24.-Labor members
OF parliament have brot before that
body the terrible plight of 10000 coal
miners locked out in the Durham area
by their bosses, nine months ago.
Three government officials were
charged with the responsibility for
conditions there. These were the
minister Of labor for Withholding un-
employment benefit, the minister of
health for refusing poor law relief,
and the minister of mines for making
no effort to settle the dispute. The
authorities were hiding behind an il.
legal decision of the umpire ruling
against the payment of out-of-work
benefits, the labor representatives
commended.
The debate brot out the fact that of
the two coal companies concerned the
Consett company had the richest coal
seams in England, while the Harton
company had repaid the investments
OF their shareholders four times over
in the last twenty years. The cor.
porations preferred to starve their en-
ployes into submission rather than
make the slightest improvements, de-
clared labor members. The charity
institutions of that section are filled
with poverty-stricken miners and yet
there are thousands who cannot get
in, they stated.
