The Budd Motor Body Co. here has
laid off scores of workers. Wages
have been slashed ten per cent and
many men retired.
The hours at the factory are So
a week and the bonus system is in
effect. Wages for skilled workers
are about $50 a week. Discomfort
is everywhere, but Budd's have
very efficient special police.
Recently a member of the Inter

received 10 stitches for trying to
organize the workers. If the work

by being hired as scabs. An effort

X DRAMA. tn
"The Wrecker," an Eng
lish Mystery Play,
at the COrt

EVER since the phenomenal success
- Of "The Bat" some years ago a
season has not passed on Broadway
without plays of similar ilk being Of
fered to the public, but unfortunately
for obvious reasons few have du-
plicated the success of that play,
which revived interest in the scare
drama.
One of the latest of such offerings
is now current at the Cort Theatre
with the novelty that this time it is
an English murder mystery play set
forth by company of English actors.
Concisely, the plot concerns itself
with fiend suffering from decided
ly Freudian choo-choo complex. This
baleful demon-unmasked, of course,
just before final curtain call-finds
complex satisfaction in causing a Sc
ries of wrecks which intim.date the
English travelling public, causes the
railroad stocks to fall disastrously
and in the unraveling of his identity
leads to one good old-fashioned hokum
situation after the other. The final
explanation of the maniac's acts is
that the noise of the trains distracted
him, all of which is rather a far
fetched solution for a sophisticated
Broadway audience to swallow. Love
interest is supplied by the female
sleuth from Scotland Yard and the
hero, nephew of one of the heads
of the railroad.
The big scene comes in act two, a
lonely railroad signal tower on the
moor in a rain storm, when one sus-
pect after another arrives to throw
the switches and wreck the express.
In the nick of time our hero and our
heroine arrive and take long chance
in manipulating the levers that save
the onrushing express from total de-
struction.
The fanatic is of course exposed
Who is he? All, that might be spoil
ing the evening for you.

Population Exceeds 120
Million, Report Says

WASHINGTON, March Is. - De-
spite the growing unemployment
situation the population keeps ahead
of it, meaning still more mouths to
fill, according to provisional estim-
ate issued by the census bureau,
based on the available returns on
births, deaths, emigration and immi-
grafton. The figures are as of July
l, 1928. If the estimate is right the
population of the country has in
creased IA per cent since 1920 and Is
now 120,013,O00. New York State had
a population of 10,385y227 in 1920.
The states population will be, accord
ing to the estimate, 11,550,000 July /.
The greatest population increases are
predicted for Florida, with AZ per
cent, and California, with 35 per
cent.

LOBBY CHARGED
TO COMMISSIONER
Private Interests Rule
Tariff Body

WASHINGTON, March ID
Charging that the United States
tariff commission, of which he has
been a member since its organiza-
ton in 1922, is incapable and the tool
of special interests, Edward P, Costi-
gan sent his resignation to President
Coolidge today.
"At the end of five years." Costi-
gan's letter reads, "and at the cost
of approximately 100000, the tariff
commission has made 80 reports to
the president on the flexible tariff
provisions.
For Private interests.
These reports have grown out of
Investigations not freely chosen by
,ne commission, but instead requested
by the president or the senate, under
practice set by president Hard
ing, urged by private interests"
Criticising his associate commits
sioners, Costigan charges Chairman
Marvin, of Massachusetts, with being
tariff lobbyist for New England's
protected capitalist interests.

MISERY, HUNGER
ARE SYMPTOMS
OF PROSPERITY"
Breadlines and Army of
Jobless Grow
(By a Worker Correspondent


From the rock-bound coast of
Maine to the Gulf of California, from
Puget Sound to the Florida Keys we
can see one vast army of unemployed
and breadlines. While one Servant
of the people," that grand and glor-
ious president of the United States.
Calvin Coolidge, sits in an easy chair
in Washington, d. c., surrounded by
luxury and tells the workers all about
the grand and glorious prosperity"
What I want to know is where is
that prosperity? Where in hell can
it be? Or is it like the pot of gold
at the end of the rainbow? Long be-
fore Calvin uttered those immortal
words there were overcrowded mis-
sions and unemployment, and gen
eral air of depression on the west
coast. The wonderful cities Of Seat
tie, Portland, San Francisco and even
Los Angeles were filled with unem-
ployed workers.
Industry was at a standstill out
there and misery and hunger were
beginning to show their face. What
it has become since it would be pitt
able to tell for when l was there it
was only the beginning of winter be-
fore Coolidge had uttered his mock
ing words about prosperity" On the
gulf coast conditions were so bad that
the sons of the fiery cross (the Ku
Kluxers themselves) were on the
verge of applying to the Knights of
Columbus for relief.
While up north, in cities like New
York, Boston and Philadelphia, we
see unemployed workers and bread
lines blocks long. And we can decide
for ourselves whether Coolidge's talk
on prosperity" affects the workers
or not.
We see, fellow workers, that "pros-
perity" enables the so-called first
families to hit the promenade decks
at Miami, Lake Placid, Newport,
Paris and the Riviera, while the work
ers starve. For how much longer
shall we bea rthose parasites on our
backs? Or shall we organize and
unite to put them at the business end
of pick and shovel to do something
useful for society? How much longer
shall we daily and bicker around be-
fore we take and control that which
we produce. Workers of the world,
uniteI

Celebrate w Omen'S
Dag in Berlin

(By Womar Worker Correspondent
On March 8th, a year ago,
watched the women workers of Ber-
lin, Germany, marching through the
streets to celebrate International
Women's Week. In the square in
front of the Karl Liebknecht House,
women from two districts assembled.
Working women of all Berlin districts
were to have come together at this
point, but by police order the districts
were separated, and only two groups
allowed to meet in one place.
1t was early evening. From fac
tories, workshops, and offices, the
working women gathered at tn e
different meeting places. AS two
divisions of women, red 'kerchiefs
on their head, fell into line behind
the workers band, five motor trucks
full of armed police moved forward
with the procession. Each policeman
carried rifle, pistol, and a hand
grenade.
Young Pioneers in white jackets
sang, Brothers, march onward to
freedom" and company Of Workers
Red Cross marched with the women.
Workers in Germany have learned
from long experience that their own
Red Cross is needed when police are
present at a workers gathering.
5, Never shall / forget the sturdy
march of those German women work
ers. The red 'kerchiefs flashed under
the street lights. Some of the
women were old, some were middle
aged, some were young. But they
all marched with a vigor and deter
mination that made me wish we could
see such parade of working women
in New York or Chicago.
The regiments of women workers
from different districts came to-
gether at a big hall, and several
thousand women crowded in. An ap-
peal was made to all women workers
to come into the Women's Interna-
tional. The women workers delega.
ton from Germany to Soviet Russia
enacted scenes to illustrate their ex-
periences in Moscow. Banners, band,
songs, speeches, enthusiasm, all
showed the visiting American women
workers the strength of organization
among German working women.

Walking along South Street,
came over to Pier IS. This pier is
owned by the United Fruit Co. About
1000 workers were waiting to be
hired. The wages paid these men are
fifty-five cents an hour. The work
ers work four hours a day. They
never work more than six hours.
The speed-up system is in full
swing. The workers are "pepped up
as in the days of old.

Only three ships arrive at this pier
per week. Those that do get work
earn between SO and $40 for three
days. Some workers work only one
day per week. Most cannot get any
work at all
These lucky" workers who get a
job only work a few hours a day.
Those that are not fortunate enough
to get days work are turned away
frozen and starving.
After leaving Pier IL I went to
Pier &c. This pier is also used as a
banana dock. About TOO workers were
waiting to be hired. After waiting
about four hours all the workers were
turned away because no banana ship
arrived that day.
Leaving the waterfront I walked
up to Market Street. A line of about
500 men were waiting in front of
the Madonna House Mission for a
bowl of soup and a piece of bread
Filthy Food.
I decided to investigate for myself
and l walked inside the mission. The
pot from which the soup is served
is filthy. 1t looks as if the pot hasn't
been washed for a few weeks. The
smell is unbearable. The bread they
serve is hard enough to break your
teeth. The soup looks like mud water
The bowls are also filthy. The tables
are inches thick with dirt.
About 200 men were fed. The rest
were turned away.
This is the way the missions care
for the unemployed workers. Besides
these missions pump religious bunk
into the minds of the workers in order
to make them more obedient to their
masters.

are forced by the prevailing hard
times and hard boiled boss to work
in the fore hole of an oil tanker filled
with gas fumes.
This hole is always full of gas
fumes which somehow or other leaks
in from the adjoining tanks. 1t is
very dangerous to descend into this
hole after the hatch has been battered
down for a week or so, and at least
twenty-four hours airing is required
before a man could go down. That's
what ought to be done, but it isn't.
We had no sooner arrived when we
were given orders to open the hatch
which had been battened down for two
weeks. Four of the company's long
shoremen were sent down to sling oil
drums. The seamen were to run the
winches and some other longshoremen
were to stack the oil drums on the
dock
Get $3.50 a Day.
These longshoremen work steady
for the company. Their work ex-
tends from picking up scrap around
the plant grounds to loading box cars
and ships. Their pay is $3.50 day.
They are all married men and of
Italian descent.
In less than fifteen minutes the four
men climbed out of the hole-their
faces white as paper, and Keeling like
drunkards from the fumes of the gas.
The boss asked them what was the
matter. They answered that they
could not stand it any longer. He
got insulted; He yelled:
Get down on the dock you 'god
d BIS"
He then called four other men to
take their places down in the gas
filled hole.
The second group Of four men did
not remain down as long as the first
group. They came up, their eyes roll
ing queerly. They told the boss they
could not stand it. He became furi-
Gus and after cursing them, he went
ashore.
After while he returned with two
cOnsumptive looking individuals who
were company inspectors. They low
cred an apparatus in the hole to find
out how much gas it contained. After
a tete-a-tete with the boss. it was
agreed that the men could go down
provided they had life lines around
their bodies, with a man at the other
end of the hole. They were to be re-
lieved every twenty minutes.
And so they worked all day with
out gas masks. Not one of them died.
But they inhaled plenty of that I'M
healthy gas. And since not one of
them died, what did the boss care if
they all went home sick that night?
They could not eat their supper and
