OPERATORS PUT
ON:'PART Time
Rurnp Union Soft-Soaps
Exploited Workers
BY a Worker Correspondent.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2O.-One hundred
and fifty Morse operators, employed
at the Western Union Telegraph Co.
were put on part time basis this
month, as result Of the speed-up
system introduced by the company.
Machines Replace Men.
The Western Union has developed
and installed telegraph machines
whereby any young boy or girl, trained
for period Of two to three months.
can produce more than any skilled
telegraph Morse operator. The aver
age Morse operator can send or re-
ceive 80 to 40 kilograms an hour,
while the machine operator can do
about 100 in the same time.
A good operator gets $35 to $40 a
week, machine operator only be-
tween SIS and $23. Very few get
above that rate,
Blast Workers Hopes.
The Western Union, which has been
paying the Morse men very low wages
for years, feeding them with hopes
Of steady jobs, seniority rights and
aigher wages-is rewarding them now
With four-hour shifts.
The company union, instead of at
sions whereby they could transfer
their men toaother departments. They
simply left them in the cold, with no
prospects oflany kind.
Preach fumanitsrianism
The company union, instead of at
empting to remedy the situation. is

julletin boards on every floor are

into effect on July /, 1927, for three
years. Details on other working con-
ditions and wages were left to be set
tied by a committee of the union and
the manufacturer New standards of
pay are being negotiated for, he re-
ported.
Fur Workers Agreement.
Goldstein of the fur workers re-
ported that his union has obtained a
40-hour week, but that 1t was granted
only for the slack season. In the busy
season they must work "A hours a
week, he said. This was only partial
victory. The reason the Chicago
union made the demand, however, he
reported, was because of the fur work
ers' strike in New York for the same
demand.
Take Up School Situation.
Action by the federation to gain
tor the school teachers of Chicago bet
ter salaries and to abolish the evil OF
large classes in the schools, was urged
by the Chicago Federation of Teach
ers, represented by Delegate Mead.
Mead pointed out that the teachers
were fighting three evils in the school
system, the introduction of the speed
up" ideas OF modern industry into the
schools, low wages for teachers, and
over-large classes.
Rap lnequltabIe Taxes.
The excuse the administration gives
for the condition is that the school
system has not sufficient money to
remedy the situation, Mead declared.
For that reason the teachers are con-
Quoting a campaign to have large cor
porations who are now evading taxes
to paying only small amount of what
they should pay, be made to pay just
amounts.
In this connection President Fitz-
patrick pointed out that $32,000,000,-
900 worth Of property in Cook county
is escaping taxation. Out Of $36,000,-
100000 in property in the county only
1900, O00, 900 is assessed, he said. at
Is high time that the Chicago Fedora
ton Of Labor raises its voice in pro-
test against this" he said. Evasion
of taxation by the corporations means
that the cost of government is taken
from the backs and stomachs of the
workers"
He suggested that a campaign OF
education over the radio station be
conducted to inform the people of
Chicago of this inequitable situation.

REVEALS POWER
Beardsley Has Hard
Time to ''Rule" Union
ny ] Worker Commencement.

NEW YORK, Dec. 20. = The cleo
tions held in Local 1, International
Jewelry Workers Union last August
was won by the right wingers, due to
their control of the Offices of the un-
ion, but the progressiyes have not lost
control over the membership meet
ings; on the contrary their power is
growing steadily. Beardsley, the or
ganizer and his gang, being aware Of
this and fearing the coming elections
is January, have decided to "act."
Pass blush" Laws.
A special meeting was called by
the local for the purpose of adopting
Resolutions The letter did not state
what kind of resolutions. A the meet
ing the bomb exploded: ~ you must
not discuss union activity anywhere
outside of the local; (2) must not dis
tribute any literature or leaflets with
out sanction of Office; (9) election to
be held once a year instead of every
six months as was the custom.
Poor right wingers-they had to
work hard, postpone and drag out the
meeting to carry these resolutions by
a vote of 81 to so. This vote revealed
the strength of the left wingers, and
we can assure the right wingers that
the devil will get his due" No hush
laws will cover up their record of
failures.
Envied slgman.
Beardsley was really jealous OF his
comrades" who were ruling with an
iron hand In some needle trades To-
calls, but alas he had no local worth
while to "rule" so he had to stand
for the criticism Of the lefts. Now,
thanks to the efforts of the lefts, a
campaign was made and quite a few
members were taken in. Instead of

OF the attack made on the meeting,
which was regularly called by the ex-
ecutive board of the union, by right
wingers of outside unions and organi-
cations, and informed them that the
union officially protests against such
interference in the affairs of the union
by outsiders.
No comment on Goldsteins report
was made by the officers of the fed

issue up.
Three Unions Get 4o-Hour Week.
Three organizations reported to the
federation that they had obtained the
4O-hour week in their industry in Chi
cago. They are the cloakmakers, cap
makers and fur workers.
]. Levine, manager of the joint
board of the International Ladies' Gar
ment Workers Union, reported that
the unions new agreement goes into
effect Monday, Dec. 20. The agree
ment, which Levine pointed to the
delegates, was won largely because OF
the New York cloakmakers' strike
provides for the 42-hour week for one
year and a half, and for the 40-hour
week during the completion of the
three-year agreement.
Result of New York Strike.
Levine told the federation that had
it not been for the heroic struggle of
the New York workers the Chicago
union would have been unable to force
the manufacturers to agree.
Levine informed the federation that
1t must consider means of combating
the injunction menace to the labor
movement. He again reminded them
of the injunction against the union
secured by small dress manufac-
turer employing dozen workers, pre-
venting the union from picketing the
shop, or talking to the scabs. IF
such a small manufacturer can secure
an injunction to tie the hands of the
union, what can't a large manufac-
turer do" asked Levine.
Dress Workers Agreement Expires.
He reported that the dress workers
agreement expires on Dec. 81 here.
The workers in this industry are not

fancy and determination they should
be able to force a favorable settle

GARY, Ind, Dec. 20.-The meeting
Saturday night at Turner hall, under

men OF the department of justice and
fifteen dicks and uniformed policemen
Of the Gary force. They held frequent
conferences among themselves in
whispers. The police captain and a
sergeant came In and looked around.
At times 1t seemed that the meeting
would be broken up.
References to Russia and the sig
