know that we're bringing to the
workers a program of organization
and struggle which will lead to VIC

IN the last world war many of
you were bravely risking and sacri-
ficing your lives for the profits of

now to fight your own battle. Be

FACE WORKING YOUTH
PROBLEMS AT MEETING
by a Worker Correspondent

by a Worker Correspondent
A Working Youth Conference was
held ~ Sept. 20 and 80 at the Irv-
ing Plaza.
This is not the first time that such
a conference has been held. 1t sur
passed the previous conferences,
however, with its clean-cut analysis
of the present problems of the work
ing youth and its eagerness to carry
on all outlined proposals.
If you will compare this recent
conference with the conferences
which have been held by the Brook
wood Labor (pardon me, l mean
"Slobber') College, there is all the
difference between day and night.
At the Brookwood conferences
fat-bellied lads, respectable gentle
men and ladies, professors and other
mucks who care about the youth as
much as a religious Jew cares about
pork, played the main role. These
learned men tried to teach is to be
respectable and other sweet THINGS.
"In days gone by when we wcre
lads and lassies like you, we were
the same," they said, when we got
older we got wiser. You have to
take it easy. You will do the same
when you grow up" This is the
usual bunkum you can expect from
them. Music tried to teach US what
is good for US. In order to hide his
crookedness he gloated towards
heaven like a nun. Music at last has
shown his true color by appearing
at the funeral of the United Textile
Workers Union with MacMahon.
At the recent youth conference
none of these gentlemen were
present. We didn't miss them
either. All the delegates acted
natural. They said what they meant
in the best language they knew. No
professors were there to teach US
ethics, in other words, we hit the
nail on the head.
Let no one think that the work of
this conference is over. Far be it.
l say that we are only at the begin
ming. Our efforts must be re-
doubled.
This conference proves that the
youth is willing and can be organ
lied. We must grab the opportunity
for time and tide wait for no man.
Now is the time.

CHESTER, Pa. (By Mail.)-An-
other report in the Chester Times,
elating to the coming Of another
large industrial plant, to be located
just below Chester on the south,
along the Chester and Wilmington
Pike.
The report reads: "The Up. & G.)
Proctor and Gamble Soap Works
have secured the abandoned works
formerly operated by the National
Benzol Company"
The company left Chester just
after the war, and, I am told, went
to Buffalo, N. Y.
Some time ago 500 men and boys
were at the gates after job. The
man at the gate said che would like
to know who put that stuff in the
paper, as no report was given out
by him, and it is false. A few men
have been engaged few days re-
moving machinery, that is all"
The Chester Times would like to
rake the unemployed Of Chester be-
lieve in prosperity. The real estate
men of Chester would like to rent
some of their empty houses. Even
the empty ones are being used at
night by the "hot-footers," local
gang of roughnecks. The garages

HERE is mystery play without
IL cocktails or spicy language but
The transients who flocked to the
10th Street Theatre to see Straight
Thru The Door" we're more than
compensated for their inability to
worship Bacchus from a distance by
he excellent acting of William
Hodge in his mystery comedy which
is based on the murder of a con-
tractor with the appropriate name
Of Wowser, said murder being by
product of the flirtations of the
wife of Eugene Thomas, wealthy
playwright, impersonated by Mr..
Hodge.
Only after one gets out on the
sidewalk and takes couple of shifts
of the berry atmosphere of the
speakeasy belt does it dawn on the
customer that there is nothing much
in this mystery-comedy except good
acting. Yet, SILVER my timbers, if
l did not spend my two and quarter
hours in the theatre betting on the
eligibility of a certain member of
the cast for the role of villain. And
1 won my bet.
Eugene Thomas has engaged the
services of a contractor to build him
house, He calls in an architect
suppose he should appear before
the contractor-wh becomes enam-
CURED of Mrs. Thomas, so between
the architect and Mrs. Thomas, a
pretty lady interior decorator who
stalks Mr.. Thomas, and the
carpenter, plumber, painter and
maison, everything is being done
except the job. There is much light
raillery at the expense of the skill
led workers who daily in harmony
with the dalliances of Mrs. Thomas
and the architect, but the workers
are no meek individuals and they
show that they have union behind
them. Mr.. Wowser is bounding Mr..
Thomas for money. Mr.. Thomas
being an easy-going fellow, refers
Wowser to the architect but the lat
ter is so busily engaged discussing
landscape with Mrs. Thomas that he
only succeeds in making Wowser
angry.
Things begin to pop whenthe lady
interior decorator, not having any
thing else to do does it to Mr.. Tho
mas, who is by no means an Adonis,
but he is a playwright. The vamp
role is played to perfection by jean
nette Fox Lee, but her assault, liter
ally speaking, breaks against the
iron wall of the playwright's ennui.
Evidently he was not on a raisin
diet.
The shooting of Wowser brought
as stupid detective as anybody ever
met in real life to the footlights.
Naturally he suspected the wrong
man. This is conventional play,
SO after several amusing episodes
the culprit was apprehended, not by
the detectives but by the suspected
killer, only after he had disarmed
the detective and his assistant and
got them safely handcuffed so that
they could not do any further injury

MORE WAGE CUTS
FOR auto SLAVES
Co. Takes the Blowers
Away; Breathe Dust
By a Worker Correspondent


FLINT, Mich, (By Mail. The
men in the fender department, No.
55, of the Buick plant here, were
earning 9.8 cents per fender, which
made 1854 for nine hours work. A
cut was ordered and Ray Smith, the
general foreman, quit rather than
put it thru. McCrowder took his
place. He Immediately put the men
on a gang basis and cut the price
to "a cents per piece. The men who
used to do SO must now do 81 pieces
per day to earn the same pay. Be-
sides this they must now make up
for new men while they are break
ing them in. All production work
ers earn straight time for overtime.
In order to reduce expenses, the
company removed the blowers and
the men must now breathe in the
dust. Some of them asked the fore
man, how about the dust? He re-
piled, "You can bloody well chew it
if you want to-" The men walked
out and quit.
Mac doesn't know anything about
the job, but he's a good slave driver
and that's all the company wants.
Wage-cuts, speed-up, lay-offs are
taking place right and left. Even
the doctors are kicking.
They complain of poor pay, while
the men complain of poor medical
attention when injured, which oc-
ours all too frequently. The Saving
Fund Plan is just milestone around
the workers necks. The only thing
the wokers can do to improve their
conditions is to organize.
