By MAY HANKIN.

District A of the Workers (Com-
munist) Party meets this First of
May with plans for more vigor-
Gus and intensified activity, to build
in our territory a bigger and strong
or organization
The immediate period thai we
have passed since the last conven-
ton of our party and especially
since the last plenum indicates that
we may look forward to a better I'M
derstanding and more vigorous
carrying out of the campaigns of
the Party in our territory.
Many Activities.
In spite of The numerical small
hess of our membership here, we
have participated in the campaigns
CT our Party effectively. The major
campaign that our district has CEN
tered its energy on was the miners
relief campaign. We have succeed
ed in awaking the consciousness of
our membership to the Importance
of this task and modified them for
activity in this field. In a NUM-
Der of cities we have organized con-
ferences in which numbers of work
ingclass organizations have partic-
ipated. We have also succeeded in
drawing in number of liberals into
this work. We are laying plans at
present to intensity our activity in
this field recognizing that the pres

emit stage of tho miners struggle
demands it.
On this First Of May the work
ers in our district are confronted
with the same critical situation that
the workingclass all over the United
States finds itself in Hundreds of
thousands of workers are looking
for work in vain, are unable to find
means to meet the most elementary
reeds of themselves and their fam
lilies. We are at present making
the first steps to meet this situation
by organizing unemployment coun-
ellis wherever possible in our dis
trict.
The capitalist local and state gov.
ernments are rot doing thing to
relieve this situation and we hope
through the unemployment cam
paign, to awaken the consciousness
Of numbers of workers of the fact
that they cannot expect anything
from the servants Of the capitalist
class. and that in the coming cleo
lions they must support the only
workingclass Party in the United
States-our Workers (Communistl
Party.
Membership Drive Achieved.
Our membership has participated
in the Party membership drive and
taking in consideration the size of
our district, have notable results.
Complete figures are not available
at present but we can say that we
have gained about Is members into
cur ranks.
We have conducted circuit school
under the dictatorship of Comrade
Early which helped US to raise the
theological level of our membership
and brought them to a closer under
standing of the Party line.
We have started shop paper in
the Kodak Plant in Rochester which
is already, in spite of its few issues,
proving its influence among the
workers in this plant.
We are mobilizing our member
ship in this district to meet the i'm
mediate tasks confronting our Party
in this territory. We are determ-
ined to bring in a fresh stream of
workers in our Party, to multiply
our shop papers, to intensity our
miners relief campaign, to win in
the coming election maximum sup
port of the workingclass for our
Party in this territory.

WORKERS TOLL A. HOUR
DAY IN REPUBLIC MILL

The conditions Of the workers en-
ployed in the Republic Iron ano
Steel Company are getting worse
and worse every day. The workers
live in poverty. They do not make
enough money to support their fam
lies. The work is hard. Men work
from 10 to IA hours a shift. Every
day the workers are forced to in
crease production. Many workers
wonder how it can be possible for
them to keep Shaving for low
wages when the bosses are making
millions.
In the last three years the pro-
ductivity per man rose to SOTO FER
cent. The prices on steel have gene
up, yet the wages remain the same
and in many placs have gone d 'Wn.
Workers Mistreated.
Besides low wages the workers
are forced to accept and stand all
kinds of insults from the bosses.
The men are treated like cattle.
Any little mistake and you are
fired. If you happen to be tired out
and you sit down, and the boss sees
YOU, then you kiss good bye to your
job.
Two weeks ago two men from thu
tube mill were sent home for two
weeks because they sat down t. rest
ten minutes before quitting time.
The workers who work as laborcrs
get only A cents an hour. Generally
those who get paid per hour do not
make more than 60 cents an

>the tonnage rate. Because they have
to work the material turned out by
the department that works under
the tonnage rate.
AS far as cleanliness is concerned
every worker can realize that any
farm stable or barn is much cleaner
than mill. Any mill in the Re-
public is dirty and injurious to q
workers health.
Poisonous Fumes.
Take the hot mill. 1t is full OF
smoke and gas. A worker know.
that after he leaves the hot mill he
has at least two pounds of smoke
and three pounds of gas, if that cal
be measured at all. Even if a mar
did not have to work so hard in th>
hot mill, the mere fact that for ter
long hours he has to breathe in al
kinds of poisonous air (gas) alone
kills him.
All a mill worker does is work
sleep and eat. He comes home from
the mill, washes up, eats and ther
to sleep and then again to wor;-., anG
so it keeps on.
May Day Celebration.
Many workers from the mills are
going to celebrate May Day. The
celebration will be held on Sunday
May 6, 2 p. M, at Ukrainian Hall,
525 West Raven Ave. Many organi-
cations of workers will be represent
ed at the celebration. This May
Day celebration is going to be the
first occasion in many years where
every progressive worker will dem
onstrate his desire for organizing
the steel workers.
