SOOu JOBS, nice houses etc. NO Dno
knows what kind Of an agreement
they have, but one thing is certain,
they are all dissatisfied with the con-
ditiens they have found. They were
given the most dangerous jobs, jobs
that all other workers have refused
to do. The bosses are forcing them to
work more than twelve hours a day.
II anyone of them objects the CON-
pany uses its sluggers, to terrorize
him.
Most of these workers are living in
one house, as for an example hun
dreds of them live together in ono
house and the rest of them are In small
barracks, near the plant. In the big
building, the beds are not equipped
with bed clothing and during the win.
ter months they freeze like animals in
the woods. In the barracks there is
no water whatsoever. They have
some stoves, but no coal. In the be-
ginning they were not made to pay
rent but now, when the company
knows there are many unemployed,
the Mexican workers are forced to
pay as much rent as the rest of the
workers. Some of them began Sleep
ing in the factories, but the company
told them to go out and that unless
they were willing to pay rent there
was no place for them in the factory.
They Are Sad Spectacle.
1t is sad sight to look at these
workers when they go to and from the
factories. Sickly looking, pale and
undernourished Their appearance is
q horrible sight, they do not only look
like wage slaves but like the slaves
of the Roman or Greek empire. They
do not change their clothing for
months. They have to sleep in the
same clothes that they work in. To
maintain this savagery the company
has organized all its forces, in tho
form of sluggers, gunner, spies and
slave drivers including the churches.
The company organized the workers
into one church organization. 1t made
the workers build the church at their
own expense. The company brot IN q
priest, black representative of god

by the workers themselves.

organized since our party convention.

Multiple Loom System
Would Render so Pct.
of Weavers Jobless
BY FRED E. BEAL.
worker correspondentl

BIDDLEFORD, Me-, Jan. 25 - The
Weavers' Union of the American F.sg
GRAFTON of Textile Operatives "a. r.
Of T. o. called a strike against the
Pepperell Manufacturing company on
Dec. 1. The Loomfixers' Union, afili.
ated with the A. F. of T. o. went out
in sympathy. The cause of the walk
out is the company's determination to
enforce the multiple loom system.
Six weavers had been experiment.
ing for ten months, prior to the clos.
ing Of the plant, on IS broad looms.
Agent Whitehead then put two weav-
ers to work in a room with "a of these
broad demonstrating that each
weaver start with 22 looms each and
decide the number they could run eff
fciently without injuring their
health" If this plan is permitted to
go into effect it would mean that ap-
proximately so per cent of the 700
weavers Of the plant would be thrown
out of work.
The three thousand other workers in
tne plant such as the carders, spin
ners ETC., are unorganized but the A.
F. of T. o. is making an effort to or
ganize them and is already aiding the
needy.
The writer explained the united
front movement and urged them to
send delegates to the coming national
textile conference to be held in Feb.
ruary.
George Gendron is chairman Of the
Joint strike committee of the Weav.
ers' and Loomfixers' Union and has
been very active since the strike
started.
Money is needed to carry on the
strike and should be sent to George
Gendron, chairman of joint strike

manner as if they were reciting some
thing they had learned by heart.
In the mad rush to send the stu
dents out into the slave market, home
work increases from the beginning Of
high school from one hour to four and
five hours Of work every night. Con-
scientious students struggle to com
plete all the homework allotted to
them Among these are found a good
ly number who have poorly lighted
and badly heated homes and usually
not enuf space at home for privacy
and concentration. The result is a
terrific struggle to keep going, many
dropping out before the end of the
course, discouraged.
Teachers have been known to say
that the amount Of homework the stu
dents get at the end of each day is
short of criminal but they too are
victims Of this vicious system and are
forced to carry out orders
| have no doubt that this plan Is
carried into effect in all the public
schools Of the country. I would like
to see more articles in our DAILY
WORKER from students correspon.
dents on this problem and others con.
fronting students.

Schenectady Labor Sees
Need for Labor Party;
Boycotts Republicans
az a Worker correanondent

BY Worker Correspondent.
SCHENECTADY, N. Y, Jan. 25--
The labor union leaders of Science
tady are considerably stirred at the
rough treatment, openly administered,
given labor by the republican bosses.
These bosses held a secret caucus
with the republican members of the
board of supervisors while representa-
tives of the city trades assembly
waited outside the room.
When they had reached an agree
ment they came out from three hour.
Of republican caucus and passed one
resolution in 80 minutes giving a slap
to labor by removing two employees
who are members of a union and APP
pointing Atty. w. S. McNab, who has
an antilabor record, over the protests
of the unionists, as county attorney.
The trades assembly held a special
meeting and put not only the county
buildings, but the supervisors person
ally on the unfair list. The Citizen
labor union organ, says in summing
up the episode:
What is the use of electing friends
of labor on the republican ticket,
when all real friendship is forgotten
after election? This episode is just
another reason why there should be
labor party in this country, and most
especially in Schenectady county. II
should be'a lesson to Schenectady
trade unionists.

anu tney only get board, usually four
in a tiny room and very poor food.
After three months they receive eight
dollars month, board, laundry
(amount limited) and uniform. The
hours are long and the work heavy
and during this period a nurse often
takes sick for which she has got to
make good. The training course lasts
three years and three months.
Next to the nurses, in degree. come
the attendants, orderlies, ward-maids,
floor scrubbers and kitchen help. The
attendants and orderlies are worse
off than the nurses. They work from
1912 hours a week, seven days a
week, for wage of not more than
$50 a month, board, laundry and a
room fit for pig to live in.
The ward maids do cleaning and
tray serving for a wage of $45
month, board and laundry. There is
no limit to their working hours Negro
maids, employed only in some hospi-
tails, get S25 month. They are sup
posed to get their meals but they
never take them because the food is
SO rotten. No room and laundry for
them.
The floor scrubbers work about 65
hours a week for $50 a month and
leftover food for meals.
Elevator men get S45 month for
a 52-hour week and the same rotten
leftover meals,

Typhoid Gets Workers
While Bosses Drink
Bottled Spring Water
(Ry Workers Correspondent

BUFFALO, Jan. 25-The workers of
Buffalo are drinking water infested
with bacteria from city sewage. The
failure Of the corrupt government Of
this openshop town to provide a filtra,
ton plant has resulted in an epidemic
of typhoid.
Physicians say that these epidemics
cannot be abolished by the use OF
chlorine, as the disinfectant is not eff
fective unless the water is filtered.
The city fathers" promise filtration
plant sometime in the spring"
Meanwhile the welI-to-do bosses and
exploiters buy special spring water,
while workers, who cannot afford this
luxury, are left to the mercy of the
typhoid bugs"
The yellow socialist organization Of
Erie county supported Mayor Schawb
in the last election campaign. 1t is
snder this capitalist tool that the
workers must dring the execreuons
of their own bodies.
