HANdOuTS

1t is now announced that the
lively and impressive imprOmptu
s6vations" which greeted Hoover's
train on its trip 10 the coast were
organized by C. Blascom Slemp, ma
tiOnal committeeman.
Under capitalism the law is sup
posed to apply to rich and poor
alike. But if you have a bank ac-
count with five or six figures it
doesn't apply quite so vigorously to
you. The rich have never had the
slightest respect for the law except
when they use it as a weapon to
keep the workers enslaved. The
men who are supposed to enforce
the law have even less respect for
it. This can be seen from the fol-
lowing words of District Attorney
Stuart Culbertson of Meadville, Pa,
describing the convention of the
Pennsylvania State Sheriffs' Asso-
ciation in a hotel at Conneaut Lake,
Pa:
when we got there we could
hear them cursing. I broke into
the place and found them reeling
about like a lot Of drunken hogs.
It was the worst mess 1 ever saw.
Bottles were being hurled about,
men were fighting and two of
them attacked me. We arrested
the bellhop as he was serving
liquor [Theyl destroyed a whole
bathtub of bottled liquor which
was packed on ice.
"They were all in bad way.
l told them who 1 was, and they
asked me to free the bellhop, but
refused. There were at least
40 men in the room, and all of
them were drunk"
If worker thinks it's all a mis-
take and that the sheriffs really
administer the law impartially in
stead of only where the graft is
hickest he should listen to the fol-
lowing words of Thomas Garfield
Sterrett, president of the Pennsyl-
vania State Sheriffs' Association:
ITO hell with the District Attor-
ney of Crawford County and Pro-
hibition, toov'

MONESSEN, Pa, (By MaiD.-
Am sending another letter about
the working conditions here in Mon
essen. The American Sheet and Tin
Plate Company is supposed to start
to work Sunday nights and work till
four o'clock Saturday.
The company sure can work the
men as they are pleased now with
plenty of men standing at the gates
looking for employment.
Last winter the mill worked only
part time and half of the men had
to work doubled up, doubled up
means two. men on one job) and
when a worker works doubled up, he
only receives half as much pay as
he would if he worked alone. And
now when the hot weather is on they
make the workers work every day
and also make them work on Satur-
day till four o'clock, where before
they only worked till eight o'clock
in the morning.
How long will the workers stand
for the dirty work that that COM
panv plays on them year after year?
In the mills here we have the insur-
iance and safety first signs all over
the mill. They have posters tackled
up which read as follows: "Be a
Tight Wad. Save Your Earnings.
Work Steady and Save for the RAINY
Day." and so forth. A fellow work
er asked me the other day as we
were standing and reading these
posters, "How in the hell can a fell
low save for the rainy day, when
all he can make goes for the upkeep
of his family?" The workers here
are working under the most rotten
conditions imaginable. We do not
have Mushrooms or lockers where
we can keep our clothes or wash.

RECOGNITION,

Open Shop Scheme Is
Checked
by a Worker Correspondent

by Worker Correspondent
Owners of the Trufood Vegeta-
rian Restaurants are vainly trying
their best to break down the spirit
of the striking walters and wait
resses. While the strike is enter
ing its fourth week the pickets are
doing their duty in the sweltering
heat as well as in the transforms.
Close or Sign Up"
The slogan of the workers is the
same as it was the first day of the
walk-out: "Close up the stores or
sign up with the union"
Patrons of the Trufood Restau-
rants walk down to the picket line
and assure the strikers of their
sympathy, Don't give up, kids, we
won't go in to eat unless the bosses
give you union conditions"
The result of this wide sympathy
on the part of the patrons was that
the Trufood bosses were forced to
close up one of their restaurants on
10th St., between Broadway and
9th Ave.
The bosses tried to use this event
as a maneuver for their ends and
called a conference with the strik-
ers. Then they invited them to go
back to work without recognizing
the union. Otherwise the Trufood
will be closed and will be trans
formed into cafeteria they
threatened
Won't Give Up
But the strikers will never
give up their just demands.
Those who were freed from picket
line duty as. result of having their
restaurant closed were sent to work
on union jobs with the understand
ing that. as soon as the Trufood re-
opens, they would be placed back on
the picket line.
The closing up of a restaurant is
looked upon by the strikers as a
partial victory. 1t shows them how
strong they are with their deter
mination to win better working con-
ditions, shorter hours and higher
wages. H. S.

OFFICIAL
GIVES OUT FAVORS
by a Worker Correspondent

by Worker Correspondent
Many plumbers of Local 1853,
Bronx and Manhattan, are Of the
opinion that their president, BILL"
Doran, is a good" man. What
does his goodness to the plumbers
consist in?" l once asked a member
of Local 1853.
Gets Boss Favors
well, you know, Bill can get
more favors from the boss for us
than any other man in the local."
he replied.
do you think that the bosses are
fools, that they give favors for
nothing? Don't you think they de-
mand something in return?"
You're all wrong; 'Bill' is good
guy" and that ended the argument.
Halt Employment
Many plumbers are out of work
now. While they are walking the
streets others are working overtime
on week days and Saturdays. This
is violation of the rules of Local
A63, which says that no one may
work overtime unless he gets the
permission of the union. In some
places work is also being done on
Sundays. OF course "Bill" Doran
and the other officials of Local 463
do nothing to stop these evils.
Now we understand why "Bill"
Doran can get favors from the
bosses. Not only do not these ia
vors help the workers but they pre-
vent good many of them from be-
ing able to earn a few extra cents
in order to make an appearance that
they are living.

Especial to The Daily Worker
WILKES-BARRE, Pa. July &c.
Delegates from the Workers Par
ty nuclei in the anthracite sub-dis-
trict will meet this Sunday, July
30, to discuss the present situation,
to work out plans for the future and
to mobilize the Party for the carry
ing out of these plans.
During the past months, the an
thracite sub-district has showed def
mite progress in its work, as proven
by the gaining of about 70 new
members, the improved activity of
the membership and the formation
of new units, including mine
nuclei. The organization of mine
nuclei is especially important.
Experience has proven that the
turning of the Party's attention to-
wards the place of work does not

The conditions today are favor

of the fake opposition leaders, the
sell-out of the soft-coal miners by
Lewis, and the increase in unem-
ployment, together with the attack
of the operators, is opening the eyes
of many miners. They are answer
ing with strikes to the offensive
against the union conditions. They
are beginning to realize that after
the destruction of the union in the
bituminous fields, the anthracite

more and more receptive to the mes
sage of the Party and the left wing.
