Camp of the Bosses
ex 4 MOrker cOrrespOndent

DULUTH, Mimi, May 20.--"Work-
ers Invite People of All Glasses to At
tend Green Meeting" is the headline
carried by the labor" paper in Du-
luth, 1.-THE Labor World" edited by
the honorable supporter of the Com
pers gang" w. E. McEwen.
In the article that follows the head
line the compromise" of all classes
in society assures us that Mr.. Green
always was a friend of both rich and
poor and that he, the head of the
American Federation of Labor, will
satisfy all.
"The speaker" it reads, will have
@ message of hope and cheer for all"
To indicate the correctness of his
words the editor brings quotations
from Gompers' successor himself. Mr..
Green says: Both employers and en-
ployes should seek to promote indus
trial peace, to settle differences with
out industrial warfare.
1.-THE workers should be encouraged
to give their best efforts and the en-
ployers should seek to find ways and
means by which that can be done"
Having read this encouraging mes
sage, began to look over the rest of
the news, full of hope that there
would be something on the strikes
in Passaic, in New York, or at least
on the great strike in England.
looked over the paper from beginning
to end, but there wasn't one word
mentioned about the labor struggles
all over the world. Va 5
All this didn't excite me very much
after | considered Mr.. McEwen, the
"poor fish" who is calling himself a
friend of labor, but who makes a
living from the exploiters Of labor. ~
Keep it up, Mr.. McEwen, for we I'M
derstand very we'll your circumstance.
You're making your job well for the
bosses; they'll appreciate it. But the
left wing of the workers has already
left you behind. You're drifting to-
ward the end, opposite to the work
ers, at the same time trying to cover
your dirty work. Your time is short
now, for the militants won't bear your
fancy talks for very long. On the
other side, with the capitalists, there
is your place.

Efficiency Men Devise
Speed Systems to Aid
Bosses Get More Profits
ey ) Worker correspondent.

LAWRENCE, Mass May 2O.-Thef
Passaic mill owners are not satisfied
with the huge profits which they have
made in the last few years. They
have planning board made up of
efficiency men who watch the work
ers, time their moves and are for
ever adding speed-up systems which
throw men out of work and reduce
the pay envelope of those at work.
The efficiency men look on the
workers not as human beings but as
tools for profits for the mill owners.
The efficiency men get from $4,000 to
$4,000 year.
In 1919, they were worth $46, 4S3, sos;
In 1920, s4S, 464,SS2; 1921, s47,45S,S57:
1922, $54,623,961; 1923, s67,4s3, 1888,
and in 1924, sSO,1O7,225. Every year
in the last four years two millions
were paid out in dividends.

Cedar Rapids plant of this corpora

the starvation wages paid.
The conditions of the workers at
this plant are deplorable. They are
entirely at the mercy of their AFRO
CANT and exciting bosses. No union
is permitted. The SPY system has
been in force for a long time. 1t
surely would be a fertile field for or

How the Arlington Mill
Put Over the 12-Loom
System in Lawrence
BY a Worker Correspondent.

LAWRENCE, Mass, May 20 -
About a year ago when work was
very slow thruout Lawrence and the
workers were trying to fight of star
walton, the bosses introduced the r.
loom system in the Arlington mill.
There was one worker, young
weaver, who came every morning and
noon looking for work. This weaver
was down and out. He didn't know
where the next meal was coming
from. One morning the overseer
called that weaver over and gave him
some sweet talk on running IL looms,
promising him the best of work and a
standing weekly wage.
