EXPOSE CHEMICAL
POISON AT LEAD
ANY
Hands Turned Black by
Deadly Acetate Fumes
(By a Worker Correspondent

N. BERGEN, N. j., (By MaiD y
In the National Lead Battery Co. in
North Bergen, N. j., the conditions
for the workers are nearly unbe-
lievable We work So hours week
7 days, a week, 9 hours each day. All
we get is 40 cents an hour.
We are poisoned in two different
ways. The dust from the lead bat
teries fills the air, and for 60 hours
a week we breath in lead acetate
dust. This lead acetate is poisonous
chemical which has a sickly sweet
taste, and l can eat the sourest
things without knowing they are
sour. That proves that l have been
poisoned by the lead acetate. My
hands are black from this poison, and
hey cannot be washed off.
We are also poisoned by sulphuric
9cid fumes. This acid destroys our
clothes in two or three days. We
have to wear new clothes and shoes
every few days.
We are speeded up like slaves, and
forced to work overtime on Sundays
at ordinary wages, not time and a
half like union workers have. Of
course, we have no union.
There are about 200 workers in the
plant. Often, when worker gets SO
sick from being poisoned that he can
hardly stand up, the company doctor
tells him he is all right and that he
can go back to work. The National
Lead Battery Company is large
Minnesota company which moved to
Kearny, N. J. last year, but on ac-
count of the workers not being will
ing to stand for the rotten conditions
and wages there, the company had to
move to North Bergen, where some
of the worst open shop, rotten,
worker-gyping firms in the country
are located.
There was a strike at the end of
last December. The workers de-
manded A hour week, SIS cents an
hour, time and half for overtime,
and double pay on Sundays and holt
days. But we lost that strike in less
than a week, because the police in
North Bergen were all for the boss,
and the politicians of that town knew
where there bread was buttered. An
A. F. of l.. organizer who was sent
for by the lead workers never showed
up. A LEAD WORKER.
