Oh a Worker Correspondent

(By a Worker Correspondent
LOS ANGELES, Cal. = A young
man was sitting on a bench outside
the public library today reading The
DAILY WORKER. The writer spoke
to the worker, Czecho-Slovak, and
gained the following information:
Organize l. l.. D. Branch.
There are over 5000 Czecho-
Slovaks in Los Angeles, I was told;
nearly all organized. A Czecho-Slovak
branch of the l. L. D. is in the max
ing-for starter, he said. The first
meeting may be held at Party head
quarters next Wednesday, June 27.
Many workers have lined up already,
and numerous letters have been sent
to others.
Factory Conditions Bad.
The Whiting Mead Co., Vernon and
Santa F6 Sts., is operating a foundry,
lumber yard and house wrecking
plant. From 80 to so Czecho-Slovaks
are working there. A few highly
skilled mechanics are guaranteed 81
per hour. 4 number of mechanics are
doing piece work, however, and they
are forced to speed up great deal
in order to make SIS for day of 9
to 10 hours. The pay for common
labor is 30 cents per hour This con-
Germ is a strictly open shop outfit.
Z The hours are from to 16 a day.
AT other times no work at all. The
roof of the plant is in such condition
that no work can be done in rainy
weather. Piece-workers are worse off
than common laborers. Hiring and
firing of workers every day.
Workers Beginning to Kick.
Every mechanic used to have q
helper. In the last two weeks, how
ever, an efficiency scheme has been
put into offect. Each helper is now
expected to be the handy man for
two mechanics. That means that the
helpers must move twice as fast as
they did in the past. So the helpers
and piece-workers are beginning to
kick, my informer, who used to work
at said shop, declared,
Booze and Forget, Boss Says.
Answering the kicking, the head
boss, on one occasion, advised his men
to drink, feel happy and forget the
conditions in the shop.
Well, the program is: First an 1.
L. D. local, and then organization on
a "never-forget-plan."
D. w. Statesmen Needed.
My new-found friend just left the
library. He went home to prepare
an article for the DAILY about his
present JOHN one of those so-called
cooperative chain restaurants-the
leighton outfit. So it looks like COM

respondence from this paradise of the
plunderbund. Glad of it, indeed. The
Worker Correspondence editor will be
pleased as we'll to deal with new
names in this connection. But Los
Angeles needs distributors of The
DAILY WORKER as much as writer's.
Comrades and sympathizers, what
are you going to do about it?

The YOUTH
FOR CLASS STRUGGLE

The important role that the young
workers play in the economic and So
eial life of this country is now being
universally recognized. Hitherto, the
employers were the only ones who
paid any attention to the youth in in
dustry and in schools, and attempted
to win them under their influence. In
the attack against the American work
ers, the capitalists concentrated at
first on splitting away the young
from the adult worker and generally
training the minds of the young work
ers with anti-labor propaganda, try
ing to prevent them from realizing
the real conditions of the American
working class, and particularly of the
American youth In the past the
youth question did not, receive the at
tention from the labor movement
which it deserves, possibly because
the young workers were not such an
important factor in industry, and were
mainly employed as white collar
slaves. At the present time, with the
close of immigration, the young work
ers have became the only source of
cheap labor and with the introduction
of machinery and the simplification
of production are entering, in ever
larger number, the shops, mills and
factories.
To win the youth under their in
fluence, the employers use all kinds
of means and methods. They utilize
the school, press, movies, and all other
propaganda means to make the youth
of this country more obedient and
docile slaves.
I In addition to this they set UP
special agencies to which the youth
can be trained more effectively to help
the capitalist class of this country to
maintain itself in power. During the
summer months we have numerous
camps set up in various parts of the
country which are supported by the
most vicious anti-labor interests in
the United States. Into these camps,
the employers by their sl1illful
propaganda recruit yearly thousands
and tens of thousands of young work
ers. We also find that practically
every big industrial concern has its
training schools for young workers,
There the youth get it's training in all
sorts of efficiency schemes and also is
i'm bued with anti-workingclass
theology.

Girl Shot by "Scab."
One of the most brutal assaults II
the series of attacks by "scabs" OF
The Allen-A company of Kenosha cit
liens took place at midnight last
night.
Miss Siama He'll, 20, an employee
Of the Kenosha Steam Bath company
was riddled with shotgun slugs while
riding home with her escort, Alan
Steele, 6128 35th avenue. Miss He'll
was shot from ambush by Emil Mitt-
man, Goth street, a strikebreaker for
the Allen-A company. She was taken
to the KenOsha Hospital by her escort,
where she is now confined. 1t is too
early to learn the exact condition of
the victim. It is known that she has
received number of shots in her
face and neck, which may disfigure
her for life.
Mr.. Steele and Miss He'll were re-
turning from a dance. While passing
Mittman's residence on the way to
Miss Helli's home, they were attacked
without warning. Shots rang out,
and Steele was shot in the hand,
pluclciIy driving the more seriously in
iured victim to the Kenosha Hospital.
The couple were unable to defend
themselves, as they had no firearms
or other weapons with them.
Before neon today, scores of te1e-
phone calls had been received at I'M
ion headquarters and by locked out
workers, in which citizens of KEN
oeha express their indignation at the
'nge.

One of the most conspicuous Of
these is the new athletic director" Of
the company, sometimes answering to
the name of Hoffstetter. What mys-
terry lies behind this man no one
knows. But it is an eloquent fact
that he did not wish his true name
70 be known to the authorities when
de applied, in the usual Allen-A rou-
tine way. for protection"
What need this physical giant and
corilla-appearing director" had for
protection" likewise remains nays-
terry. He accompanies the strike
breakers to the courthouse and haunts
that place.
Many have wondered, as they look
ed upon him, how he came to lose his
trigger-finger! Others have wonder
ed what connection he had with "Yel-
low Dog" Macdonald and the 90 gum
men whom he promised to send into
Kenosha. Perhaps the mystery will
be unravelled in a few days.

AIRPLANE POPULAR
 WITH PROSPECTORS
 SHEPARD DECLARES

The use of the aii'plane by trap pers and prospectors in and cround Anchorage has increased remarkably since the airplane was first introduced as practical means of transportation in that section. according to ]. G. Shap- ard, mining engineer in the of flee of the Federal Mining Engi- neer, who has returned to Juneau from two and a half months trip to the westward and Interior of Alaska There are two planes in Anchorage which are kept con. stantly busy, Mr. Shepard said, and the trappers and prospectors use them almost entirely in taking trips to otherwise inaccessible places.
 During the winter months the planes need no landing fields, as they use the snow, and there is scarcely place, though remote and hard to reach, to which the intrepid pilots will not undertake to carry passengers, MT Shepard declared. This has greatly stimu. lated interest in prospecting, he aaid. fa

F'IREMEN BATTLE WITH SMOKE AND
 FIRE LAST NIGHT

After more than one half hour battling with smoke and flames, mostly smoke, in the attic of the double apartment on Calhoun Ave nue occupied by MT. and Mrs. Dan Russell and J. c. Yurman and family, members of the Juneau Fire Department finally put out a blaze which caused in the turn ing of an alarm at 6:30 o'clock last evening.
 The fire is believed to have started near the chimney, where it enters the ceiling. Flames spread to the attic of the house and some furnishings stored there caught fire and threw forth large volumes of smoke which hamper. ed firemen in their attempt to gain access to the attic.
 After opening windows and chopping hole in the roof the firemen managed to reach the flames and poured on water from a line from a nearby hydrant Damage from water was not great it was reported, although there was some loss as a result of wa ter leaking into the apartments. Estimates on the damage have not been made, but the property was insured.

 A corner of the lot of B. M. Behrends is being taken off to give more street width, while the side street extending up the hill from Calhoun Avenue near Gio- vanettfs Grocery, will be widened and the bottom of the street will be cut down so as to make wider passage way on Calhoun.
 The street which leads to the top of the hill will be changed materially it's entire length, Mayor Judson said, and long needed i'm provements will be made all along Calhoun Avenue. General repair work on this avenue will extend further than the corner of Distin Street, men being at work today fixing the drainage systems and making usable all possible road surface.
