Especial to The Daily Worker)
SEATTLE, Wash, Jan. 11.-De-
spite every attempt on the part OF
officials Of the labor movement here
to prevent Albert Weisbord, Passaie
strike leader, speaking In Seattle,
a huge meeting was held at Central
Labor Union hall.
Officials Of the, Central Labor un-
ion and the American Federation Of
Labor attempted to block the meet
ing by denying the use Of the hall
to Weisbord, but the pressure Of the
masses was so great, the officials
were forced to permit the meeting.
The action of the rank and file
here who demanded the right to
hear Weisbord Is seen as direct
slap at tactics Of federation officers.
A similar attempt was made In
South Bend, Ind, when Welsbord
spoke there, and the masses rebuk-
ed the labor officials.

Postal Employees Hit
Night Work, Fight
for a Curtailment
BY L. p. RlNDAL,
Worker Correspondent),

LOS ANGELES. Jan. 11.-Postof
flee clerks and carriers are out for
the curtailment of night work. A
bill providing a penalty against it
is pending in congress. Under this
measure, As minutes work between c
p. m. and a. m. would be equal to
an hours work in the day time, with
the same pay.
According to William Emery, secre-
tary of Los Angeles Local No. Ga,
National Federation of Postoffice
Clerks, between $50 and 400 local
clerks and rs and 100 collectors in
the carriers service are affected by
the bill; the national total affected is
around 10000.
Government employees, backing the
bill, are not after an increase intheir
wage, they want only unnecessary
night work eliminated, Emery says.
In a majority OF cases, six hours Of
work would be equal to that now per
formed in eight hours. The proposed
shortening of hours of the night work
ers rs estimated to cost the govern
ment s5,000,000 annually.

British Workers Demand
Freedom for Class War
Victims of Big Strike

LONDON-Large sections of the
British workers are strongly aroused
in the nationwide campaign for the
release of the class-war victims of
the Emergency Powers Act during the
general strike and the miners strike
that followed.
The International Glass War Pris-
oners Aid, thru dts secretary of the
British Section, H. B. Lowell, points
out the large numbers of workers still
imprisoned and calls for ever greater
agitation and activity in the struggle
to release them, especially in prepare
ton for the monster demonstration
to be held on Trafalgar Square on
January 16.
Resolutions and protests from local
trade unions, Labor Party branches,
co-operatives and other workers on
ganfzations are pouring in in ever
increased numbers but the Home
.Secretary's office is still silent and is
likely to remain so until pressure
from the rank and file force the
Labor Party and trade union official
dom to act in more decided and
vigorous manner or else acts over
their heads.

How Offices Are Crowded.

"a recent statement from Edward
T. Meyers, in charge Of the Bronx
Naturalization Bureau, admitted that
their Office is Is months behind with
it's applications for citizenship papers;
Director Merton A. Sturges of the
Manhattan Office says they are 8
months behind; and certain appli-
cants in Brooklyn have been waiting
more than 15 months. Conditions are
much the same all over the country,
and those who come for citizenship
papers are crowded into small rooms
not nearly large enough to accommo-
date them.
No Remedy.
CAN of this calls for larger approp-
riations for Increased office STATS and
new buildings, but the secretary of
labor makes such recommendation
for only one plaoe-Seattle, Washing
ton. The rest Of the service goes
along as it is, the idea seeming to be
that it ought to be made as difficult
as possible for the alien TO become a
citizen. Make him suffer for what he

Council Fights Attitude.
This is the attitude being fought by
the National Council for Protection OF
Foreign-born Workers which in addi-
ton to watching the anti-alien legisla-

help in obtaining his citizenship pa

troit, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Bos-

SEAMEN'S LAW
CAUSES OWNERS
TO SHED TEARS

WASHINGTON, Jan. IL. -FP)-
When President Dalton of the Emerg-
ency Fleet Corporation came before
the senate committee on commerce to
discuss the issue of government own
ership and operation of the merchant
marine versus private ownership and
operation, Senator Copeland of New
York brought up the old complaint
that the LaFollette Seamen's Act
makes the labor cost of running Amer
lean ships greater than the labor cost
of operation of foreign ships. Dalton
at first agreed that this was burden,
and then said it was law that would
not be changed, and Copeland hastily
remarked that he would not want it
changed.
Wants Private Control.
Copeland asked questions indicating
his desire to sell the government
ships at a sacrifice to private inter-
ests. Senators Johnson of California,
Couzens of Michigan and Fletcher Of
Florida emphasized the necessity for
government ownership and operation
If an American merchant marine is
to be maintained under existing eco
nomic conditions.
Dalton, who hitherto has been
known as favoring government own
ership and operation, appeared anx-
ious to be counted for private owner
ship when he was testifying. Johnson
and Couzens were irritated by his talk
of how American industrial progress
is due to private initiative, and his
coupling up that sentiment with en-
dorsement of ship subsidy.
Johnson told him he must know
that the people and congress will not
grant a subsidy Couzens said Dali
toms was "a strange philosophy, that
the government should initiate and
develop each trade route and maintain
it until it became profitable, and then
be bound to give it up to private
company"

Anthracite Workers to
Lobby State House

SCRANTON, Pa, Jan. IL Up
More safety laws for the miners will
be demanded of the coming Pennsyl-
vanda state Legislature by the anthra-
cite union group. At a joint meeting
Of the executive boards of districts
I, and 9, United Mine Workers OF
America, 1t was decided to demand
the following safety reforms:
Demand Safety Outlets.
Saftey outlets in all mines to per.
init escape of workers in case of ex.
plosions; prevention of the use OF
electricity In gaseous mines; better
ventilation thru stricter regulation OF
the use of ventilating fans; more
protection for jack-hammer men, in.
Guiding elimination of dust.
Asthma Compensate.
Miners asthma shall be declared a
compensate disease, says another de-
mand. General strengthening of the
workers compensation law is called
for, with higher maximum payments
and shortening of the waiting period
before payments are made.
Increase Mothers Fund.
Passage of am old age pension law
is urged. A larger state appropriation
for the mothers assistance fund is
demanded. The present inadequate
allowance of s1,OOO,O0O a year from
the state should be trebeled.

Labor Department Brags of DepOrting
Aliens; Fauors More Hostility Toward
Them to Hamper Citizenship Process

ETHE attitude of suspicion and hos
4 tility toward the alien, which
seems to have prompted various bills
hike the Aswell registration and the
HOLIDAY deportation bills which are
now pending in congress, is evident
also in the annual report of the de-
partment of labor, which has been
consistently fayoring these proposed
anti-alien measures.
Brags of Deportations.
The National Council for Protection
OF F'oreign-born Workers, which is
fighting these registration and depor-
tation measures, calls attention to
the fact that the labor department
brags that it deported more aliens
last year than ever before, and that
this sis one of the most important
functions of the immigration service"
1t talks of deportations in terms of
dollars and cents--how by deporting
in job lots, so much money is saved I;
or, as the report has it, the overhead
on deportations is reduced. 1t all
sounds like a cattle deal; and this is
the department that is trying to have
it's deportation powers extended (thru
the HOLIDAY bill) so that business can
be bigger ana better next year.
Wants Better" Methods.
1.-THE secretary of labor's report
finds room for new deportation pro-
posals," says the National Council for
Protection of Foreign-born Workers.
1T finds room for recommendations
for a system of alien registration, and
Cor the revocation of citizenship pa
pers. But no place does it offer a
remedy for the disgracefully over
crowded condition of our naturaliza-
ton bureaus, which makes it increas-
ingly difficult for aliens to become
citizens when they want to, and when
they have complied with all the re-
quirements.

.SCAB PAPER BOX
FACTORY Makes
SLAVES OF GIRLS
ey a Worker correspondent.

BROOKLYN, N. Y, Jan. 11-This
is about conditions in a scab paper
box plant, A. D. Shoup Co. This fac
tory is one Of the largest around the
eastern states. The girls are paid
from $500 to about $4,000. The girls
are told they are piece workers and
if they make anywhere between $3.50
to $500 on piece work, the forelady
then puts the girl on week work
which is from Csc to soc per hour,
but if the girl puts out small produc-
ton on week work then she is paid
piece work.
Do Three Persons Work.
Some of the girls are doing two and
three girls work. Where men are
needed on heavy work, they are re-
placing them with girls, which means
they are paid only half price.
There are girls here that have been
employed for about fifteen years.
Must Scrub Floors.
When the plant is slack. they are
put on the floor to scrub it up. If
they refuse they are discharged.
The machinist is classified as some
thing like foreman. All day long he
walks around the machines. If he sees
a girl laying down on the job he re-
ports It to the forelady.
When the strike was called out in
the paper box industries there was no
body that went out from this shop.
They have the police going out on
their trucks every day.
