(BV a Worker Correspondent


GARY. Ind. fBy Main The
Tvorler Gcodroan is an old man. He
is ~ years If age. He has been
working for the United States Steel
CORPORATION for the last 80 years.
He has been employed in differ
emf plants of the corporation. The
poor slave worked rs a scab in the
great steel strike of 1919 in the
Gary steel mills. Two years ago the
cor"oration presented him with a
steel medallion in recognition of his
"-t'r"N''s service for the u. S. S.
Corporation.
Since then he has been working
in the police force Tin the steel mill
police forceD. AS such he worked
last year in August day and night
to protect the company's property
from the Reds! You remember that
at that time our Comrades Sacco
and Van7etti were murdered by the
bosses. All his life this man has
been trying to satisfy the bosses,
thinking about his pension of $50 a
month, which the company is sup
posed to give to every worker who
works for 20 to 80 years continu-
ously for the U. S. Steel Corpora
ton. For he did not know that the
steel mills are here not to pension
but to rule the workers.
A couple of weeks ago he was dis
charged. No reason at all was given.
He was simply told that he is I'M
able to work even in the police
force. 1t is true that he is a physical
wreck. No man can work for 80
years in that hell and be strong
ard healthy.
After he was discharged the COM
pany sent spies to his house to get
the medallion from him so that he
could not prove his continuous ser.
vice.
He is scared to give his case to
the Gary lawyers. He is sure that
every one of them is one way or an
other in the service of the corpora
ton.
Last week he had to beat it from
Gary. He went on his sisters farm
in Ohio where he hopes to regain
his health and to find some lawyer
who will win the $50 month pen
sion for him.
That is story for the steel work
ers to study. We must know that in

The young woman in "Machinal",
whether. her creator knows it or not
reminds one forcibly of the Sate of
the middle class rebels against the
grind of the modern industrial pro-
cesses who resort to Mencken or
poetry in their quest for an avenue
of escape. But there is salvation in
neither swamp. In fact they are
doomed. (Here we shall leave them
for the moment.)
Be that as it may, "Machinal' is
well worth seeing and if there be
any members of the New Play

pay the tariff or crash the box Of

in the art of production that would
save much floor space in Cherry

Stillwell, her killable husband. Chas.
Kennedy, the priest (who by the
way is a former altar boy and is

Hopkins departed from the Gus
tomary method of dramatic produc-
ton by dispensing with superfluous
scenery and depending for effect on
the histrionic powers of the cast and
the splendid lighting effect.
The story in brief is of a young
woman who was employed in an of
flee and was unfortunate enough to
have the vice-president of the COM
pany fall in love with her. Being
the only support of her mother she
married the giggling, complacent,

the acquaintance of singing sheik

amoured of the new acquaintance
and accompanied him to his room.
In the last act of the play she is
on trial for the murder of her hus-
band and is found guilty of killing
him with bottle filled with pebbles.
She goes to the electric chair, thus

since Boston had nothing for me,

Fere | spent more than three
weeks looking for lady prosperity
until one day l read an ad, "Men
wanted to deliver telephone direc-
tories; paid daily" Several adj
dresses were given. 1 went to 51st
st. and 18th Ave AS I neared the
place a man grabbed me by the
shoulder and shouted, "Here is an
ether one" Another man came to
me, asked me my name and address.
without bothering to learn whether
| was merely a passerby or actually
out for a job.
At that point l felt that Coolidge
was correct. There is prosperity.
Why, they actually shanghai men
to work, so great is the demand.
After they took down my name and
address, they told me to start load
ing the truck, ] asked how much l
would be paid. They said two dol
lars and one and one-quarter cents.
They explained my wondering, say
ing that I would be paid two dol
lars for the day and one and one
quarter cents for each old book re-
turned. What could be sweeter?
l followed the men into the ware
house and found the bundles of d.
rectories that they loaded contained
Ia books, Brooklyn edition. To saw
the least, it was very heavy. We
loaded several trucks with from
5000 to 1000 books in each.

The truck to which I was attached
went to the dress district. The truck
remained at one certain place. In
order to deliver the directories we
often had to walk several blocks TO
the place and there go up to the
END floor, or something very sim
liar. Now and then, after some
searching, l managed to find OLD
directories to return.

was knocking off for lunch. asked
the foreman about lunch and he an
swered to go right ahead and eat

others why they were not going out

they were so tired. At five-thirtv
/ asked the foreman when we quit.
He answered he would tell us when
to quit. l began to speak to the
men and asked them whether they
didn't think that we had already
done enough work between TOO a.
m. and $3.50 p. M. and that there
was no use doing more since even
the commission was at that late
hour not more than sixty-three cents
per man. They said that if we
should quit we wouldn't get any
money at all. l told them not to
worry but call it a day. Four of
us quit.
The others kept on working.

One by one we are exploited when
we are healthy and strong, but when
nothing is left in our bodies they
throw us out.

The way for the meeting was
paved when Foreign Minister Gus

Paris for the Kellogg treaty signing.
The optimism which had prevailed
in German circles since then, how

days conference started, by reaction
to Brands assembly speech of yes

missed in blunt terms Germany's
claim that she is disarmed while the
former allies are not. He insisted
that Germany has a. highly trained

MAN TO DEATH
Dreams of AffIuent Days;
Dies in Elevator Shaft.

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, Nov. 19.-Unable to find
a position on a college faculty,
Professor Daniel j. Ellingsen, master
of nine languages and holder of
degrees from two universities, took
job running an elevator so he could
support his three motherlesS chill
dren.
Sunday morning he reported for
work. 1t was his fourth day on the
job-a job that had taken many
months to find.
Preoccupied with thoughts of
other days, he approached the
elevator door, opened it and stepped
through.
The cage had been removed to an
upper floor by workmen Ellingsen
fell fifteen feet to the bottem of the
shaft. His skull was fractured and
he died in few minutes.
Last year he taught languages
and physics at the Lutheran college
at DEBORAH, Ia. At the end of the
term his courses were discontinued.
1t was too late then to get another
college position.
Faced with the problem of
supporting three children, he sought
work, but failed to find it until four
days ago when, after joining the
elevator operators union, he got the
job where he was killed.
