OEHLER TALKS AT
MAY DAY MEETING
Colorado Miner Brings
Greetings
by a Worker Correspondent

/ NDD u " OFheF COTTeSpoHCGNF1
DENVER, Colo, (By MALL
May Day was celebrated on Tues
day evening, by the Workers Party
and its many friends in the l. L. D.
hall.
Comrade Dietrich, secretary, acted
as chairman and made a few timely
remarks.
Mildred Gains, a member of the
Young Workers League, played the
piano to the tune of the International
while the audience arose and sang.
A miner of Lafayette, Colo.
brought greetings from his comrades
in the coal camp and told of the cele-
bration which was held in his town
on that afternoon at which time both
a May Day meeting was held as well
as Memorial was held for the six
miners who were killed at the
| Columbine mine last year. He was
cheered by the audience.
The main speaker Of the evening.
Hugo Oehler, district organizer, gave
review of the history of May Day
IN which he told of the many strug-
giles labor has gone thru to establish
same and also of the struggles the
workers of the world are engaged in
at present. He urged the workers of
Colorado to put forth greater efforts
towards organizing the farmers and
workers of the cities into a real la
Dor party He also urged all work
ers to do all in their power towards
helping the workers organize in the
industrial field which at the present
time is conferred abound the Save
the Miners Union" campaign.
At the conclusion he called for
membership with good results. A
farmer present signed an application
for membership and said; "Oehler
surely hit the nail on the head when
ne said the farmers must unite with
city workers along industrial and
political lines"
While an l. w. w. speaker held
forth on a street corner near the
hall which attracted a few workers
yet the crowd present in the hall was
very satisfactory.
Much literature was sold and MANY
copies of The DAILY WORKER were
distributed
NJ m bers of the Progressive
Woman's Council surprised the audi
I ence by serving coffee cake and other
refreshments for which they made the
audience dig up, but, which was en-
joyed by all and they were commended
for their activity.

standard of good morals, good taste
and good manners"
The prize winning play, Strange
Interlude" along with the other The
atre Guild production "Volpone," was
the subject of investigation, by the
District Attorney, after complaints
had been made as to "their decency."
Both plays however were found to be
fit for theatre-goers. The reviewers
reporting that "many of the lines in
the manuscript and the plays which
might offend good taste are not read
by the actors"
O'Neill has won the prize twice
previously, the first time in 1920, for
his play Beyond, the Horizon" and
the second time in 1922 with his can

Shipstead. How long is it necessary
to be fooled before the workers and
farmers of America will realize that
men of Shipstead's calibre with his
past record, cannot be entrusted with
the destinies of their class? The
FarmerLabor Party must not only be
name but a reality and their repre-
sentatives must likewise be men of
the toiling class or having a record
of many years of service to their
class.
In this critical period of American
history with five million unemploy ed;
with danger of another war; with the
imperialistic invasion of Nicaragua
and China and other countries and
with the great upheaval of the work
ers in the basic industries and the
cutting of wages from day to day
which has compelled hundreds of
thousands to strike against this bru-
tally of the master class; the work
ers and farmers of America must or
ganize into national body and nom
mate representatives from their
midst to fight against the onslaught
of the ruling class.
The conditions have never been
more appropriate, the sentiment more
intense, the will for freedom from
the exploiting class so vast. There
is a well-trained constructive leader
ship in the leadership of the left ele-
ment in the trade union; as well as
in the political party of farmer-labor-
ties and the Workers Communist
Party of America.
In the state of Minnesota they must
rally around Brother Watkins and
his runningmates and elect them and
they will be sure to have their will
and sentiments expressed in protest
against the exploiting Class. B.

the United States controls the city

nevertheless, notable for the morgan
lied state Of its workers, low wages

Predicts Farm Trusts

The justification of farms was
predicted by ]. M. Gillette, professor
of North Dakota, in recent lecture.
Farms would be operated by workers
living in towns, who would return to
their homes after the days work.
Crops would be produced in farm
factories, directed by managers and
foremen. 1t may be expected, though
Professor Gillette said nothing about
this, that the speed-up and all the
other evils of capitalist production
will be Incorporated into these huge
farm factories.

SEARS ROEBUCK
SPEEDS WORKERS
AT SAVAGE PACE
Constantly Replace Old
Employees With Boys
by Worker Correspondent

(BB w OTbeT COFTeSpOHL6Ut'/
Sears, Roebuck & Co. personifies
efficiency practiced in the Nth degree.
1t can truthfully boast Of turning
human beings into high-speed auto
nations. If favored with work you
are sent to the doctor who carefully
examines you, and nurse inquiries
as to your parents and grand
parents past and present ailments.
They make sure if you can stand the
weary nerve wracking pace.
A belt conveyor system is used
throughout the plant, ceaselessly
pouring its contents in to wrappers,
packers, markers in an endless chain,
keeping the workers in a frenzy of
rush and hurry.
A schedule time system is in force
which every employee is expected to
follow. A certain amount of work
must be turned out in a specific time /;
predetermined by efficiency experts,
based on the worker producing the
utmost humanity possible.
To give an example: At 800 p. m.
number OF articles marked p. m.
The conveyor takes them to the wrap
Lers who must wrap them by $40,
They are sent to the checker who
must do their work on the $40 ar
ticles by 800 to keep on schedule
time This is an example of the
speedy, intense pace demanded of en-
ployees. This time schedule is prac-
ticed wherever possible. This system
is so regulated that if worker lags
or falls behind the required work, he
retards the driving, fatiguing pace
of the other workers in the section.
The laying-off of old employees and
replacing them with boys is pre-
valent, these boys receive from IL to
Is dollars. The woman and girls re-
ceive from S12 to S14, and the men
from SIS to $28 per week.
A welfare association, sports, and
the usual schemes designed to make
the toilers contented and scrvile, are
used extensively.

HOSPITALS FAIL.
TO ADMIT POOR
No Money for City IN
stitutions
(By Worker Correspondent

The other day l was in Bellvue hos
pital. A woman came in there with
her son for treatment. The lad
needed it badly. He needed a few
weeks of rest in the ward. His mother
told the clerk to put him in the ward
for few weeks.
The clerk replied, "WelI, madam,
l would gladly do that for you. But
at present am unable to do so. We
have about 400 patients waiting to
be admitted to the hospital They
are being kept out because there is
no room for them at the present
time
Then he gave her card to go for
treatment in the dispensary.
Such is the situation in the city
hospitals. New York, the greatest
city in the world, is too poor to pro-
vide hospitals for its citizens.
This, however, does not prevent our
city from spending thousands of dol
lars in welcoming all kinds Of foreign
notables. Our mayor Jimmie Walker,
the jazz kid, does not seem to be
worried about the shortage in hospi-
tails. Why should he anyway? He
has plenty of money and does not
need the city hospitals. This is how
our city provides for the welfare of
its citizens. After all we are civil
lied, we are not like the barbarian
Bolsheyiki."

PEACE ANGEL"
Gets NO HAND

Los ANGELES, Cal, (By MaiD.-
A lecture on world peace was given
by Eethelwyn Mills last Sunday April
27, at the l.. A. Open Forum, Lincoln
Hall, Walker Auditorium Building,
730 South Grand Ave. Miss Mills
is said to be an ardent peace work
er and one of the best informed in
dividuals in this section of the coun-
try on the subject of the outlawry of
war" In spite of such a reputation,
she didn't get much support from the
audience during the discussion period.
The majority seemed to be of the
opinion that world peace, worthy Of
the name, cannot be effected under
capitalist rule.
Thora Daugaard, of Denmark, was
handed two copies of The DAILY
WORKER. She had never seen the
Daily before but seemed pleased and
promised to tell the Danish workers
all about it.

~ have been out of work for sewn
weeks now and maybe I'll be out of

know that all the trouble we workers
have is due to this capitalist system
that makes slaves of US all, think
if the workers would only realize this,
they would do everything to unite and
fight against the bosses. / know the
Workers Center is going to fight for

for your campaign, though I can not
afford it. | wish all other workers
would do the same and better if pos
sible"
This letter, signed by the initials
III. F." was received from a New
York worker by the Workers Center
the other day. 1t is typical of the
sentiment of many class-conscious
workers of New York who have con-
tributed to the campaign for $4,000
to establish the Workers Center. Be-
cause of the unfavorable financial
condition of many workers, it was i'm
possible to raise the entire sum by
May Is, when the drive officially came
to close. The wind-up of the drive
has been extended until June 2 and
all Workers Party units are urged to
take advantage of the time that re-
mains to raise their quotas. Shops,
trade unions and workers organiza-
tons have not yet been thoroly can
vassed as many units have neglected
these important sources of funds. This
neglect should be corrected in the time
that remains, it is urged.
The unit collecting the most money
will receive the red, revolutionary BAN
ner that is now on display at the
Center. The banner will be awarded
at the great concert and dance to be
held at the Center Saturday evening,
June 2, the final day for all contribu-
lions to the drive. Many prominent
leaders of the revolutionary move
ment will speak at this affair, which
will celebrate the actual opening of
the Workers Center. Tickets are rs
cents and are on sale at 1928 Union
Square.

GREAT INTEREST
SHOWN IN DAILY"
Subscription Drive Now
in Full Swing

The new DAILY WORKER SUBJ
scription drive is now in full swing
and the II special agents who are
covering various parts of the country
are beginning to send in reports Of
their activities.
All report unusual enthusiasm for
The DAILY WORKER, especially
among the unorganized and most ex-
plotted groups of workers. Every
where the Daily is hailed as the only
newspaper in the English language
that fights on the side of the work
ers, they declare.
Members of the Workers (Com-
munist) Party in the various cities
being visited by the IL agents are
aiding them greatly in their work.
Special distributions of The DAILY
WORKER are being arranged among
shops and factories in a number of
cities. Workers who never before saw
a copy of the Daily read it eagerly,
those in charge of the distributions
report.
The part The DAILY WORKER is
playing in the heroic struggles of the
miners, the textile workers and in
many other struggles Of the work
ingclass is bringing home to larger
members of workers the realization
