Los Angeles
(By a Worker Correspondent

LOS ANGELES, Calf, by MaiD.
The Central Labor Council appealed
to the board of public workers yes
terday, asking that that body adopt
resolution in favor of ''patronizing
home industry" in order to aid the
army of the jobless,-70,000 strong.
Members of the council "feel that
it is sufficiently wrong for our gov
ernmental agencies to furnish money
to advertise for people to come to
Los Angeles seeking employment
without said agencies at the same
time sending work away from our
city. :"
The sending work away" refers in
particular to fancy lampposts which
were made in other parts of the coun-
try and put up in residential districts
here. In working class districts, how
ever, lighting posts, if any, are gen
orally few and far between.
Several unemployment conferences
were forced on the city council re-

During the month of January
nearly 1000 men were arrested for
vagrancy; 2160 served time in city
dungeons and 1900 in the County Jail,

OHIO STRIKER,
CORRESPONDENT,
AWAITS ARREST
One of 1000 in March
on Scab Mine
(Rn a Worker Correspondent. }

JACKSONVILLE, Ohio, (By MaiD
i thought that you would be pleased
to know how the strike is coming
along in the Hooking Valley,
AS we are now in the twelfth month
and times are awfully hard, it keeps
us very busy to keep the scabs from
working in our sub-district. The OPP
orators, using every means under the
sun, are trying to break down the
morale of our men. So far they have
failed.
We need help and more help. Our
people are going hungry in this dis
trict.
We made march on a scab mine
about four miles away from our To-
cality. We took them out and made
them agree to stay out. We had over
1000 union men in the march.
A scab operator has got his scabs
together and is going to the county
seat to get warrants for the leaders
of this march. So we are expecting
before this is in print that the writer
will be under arrest.
We have bondsmen ready to &C
our bonds for US. Of course we will
have to fight an injunction. That
means money and more money. But
with the help of our friends we ex-
pect to keep up the fight till the bat
tie is won.
The officers of our sub-district are
doing all in their power They are
all good men. But we need all the
support we can get from our brothers
everywhere.

most of its present-day contempor-
aries.
AS usual with the plays in Mr.
Browns repertoire, a group of stars
have been gathered together for the
cast. Another feature is the debut
on the speaking stage of Charles Ray,
famous motion picture actor While
Ray is pleasing to look at, he is more
or less out of place in this legitim-
ate production.
Other members of the galaxy Of
stars are Robert Warwick, who is the
best bet of the evening. Also Violet
Heming, Julia Hoyt, Claudette Col
bert and Conway Wingfield.
The plot has many good spots. It
concerns department store sales
clerk who is sent to prison for three
years after her conviction for theft
Of which she was not guilty. She
was charged with stealing merchan-
disc from the store where she was
working. While the judge was will
ing to release her on suspended
sentence, the department store own
err demands that she be sent to Jail
as an example to the other girls in
his employ. In comparison to the
boss attitude towards his employees,
we see how differently he acts to-
wards the wife of banker who is
kleptomaniac. Not only is she re-
leased as soon as she is recognized,
but the store owner apologies per-
sonally and discharges the store de-
tective who made the arrest.
After her release from prison the
girl forms a crime ring that works
within the law" using high-priced
lawyers for their blackmail schemes.
All in all the play is worthwhile
seeing. SAP.

Help Labor Organize
(By a Worker Correspondent

LOS ANGELES, Calf. (By MaiD.
In the opening speech Of his cam
paign for the Democratic nomination
for the presidency, held at the Olym-
pic Auditorium, Senator James A.
Reed, Missouri, spoke on American
labor and the protective tariff" in
part, as follows:
''The only way that labor has been
given protection was by its organic
ing so that it could protect itself, u
the noted opponent to the Wilsonian
league of "damnations," shouted.
True. And it is also true that
class conscious workers have been
tyrannized over just as much by the
Democrats as the Republicans. What
did the democratic" Palmer, former
Encouragement and bonb-plot art
list, do? Palmer's gumshoe men, di-
rected by the labor-baiting w. j.
Burns, now convicted as a jury-fixer,
arrested thousands of innocent men
in countrywide red raids. The
name of one of the victims was Sal
sido, l think. He was picked up on
the street, dead, after a mysterious
fall from a window of the building
in which he had been held a prisoner.
Out of this tragedy grew the Sacco-
Vanzetti case. What the Democrats
started, the Republicans finished. So
the stand on labor of these Wall St.
parties is about the same - tyran-
meal.
In the South-the stronghold of
Democracy--wages are lower and
conditions in general worse than in
the North. The Southerners are also
the greatest lynching experts in the
world. The writer has been there and
knows.
Labor can expect nothing from the
Democratic party as such-and next
TO nothing is to be gained through
the A. F. of L. policy of rewarding
friends and furnishing enemies. All
master class politicians are enemies
of the workers it comes to a
showdown.

THOUSANDS SEEK
WORK AS TRENTON
MILLS SHUT DOWN
Haggard Men

TRENTON, N. J., (By MaiD II
spite of all the reports of unemploy
ment from other parts of the coun
try, doubt if any locality has beer
hit harder than Trenton. What was
once its leading industry is not only
at standstill but has been practically
wiped out. Not only are the rubber
mills idle but greater number Of
the smaller factories have gone into
the hands of receivers, have been solo
at auction, and with the machinery
stripped they now lie deserted.
The Bergongnan, Trent, Globe and
United Rubber Mills have all met this
fate. while Ajax Rubber, employing
1000 workers, has been idle since
May, it's machinery stripped and
transferred to its Racine. Wis. branch
The few remaining mills are doing
two and three days work a week.
The potteries and other factories
are not doing any better and thou
sands of workers have been idle for
months.
Production in some of the indus
tries has been up to normal, but, due
to the devilish speed-up and efficiency
system, great number of workers
have been thrown out of job. The
wages in such mills have been
brought down to the lowest level. The
average wage of an unskilled worker
is from $40 to $50 week.
The misery and suffering is great
and men and women and children
alike are seen on the streets, shabby
poverty stricken, and suffering from
cold and hunger.
One sixty-five year old couple have
been penniless and without means of
existence for months. Fishing was
their only means of support and when
a fish or two were not caught there
was nothing to eat. They had no fuel
whatever and on cold days were both
compelled to stay in bed to keep from
freezing. The woman finally col
lapsed from hunger and now the city
is furnishing them some meagre aid
In another family of six both hus-
band and wife are compelled to work.
Their total income is S26. The mar
earns $13 from the benevolent Mr.
Roebling who has been awarded tn
civic cup from the city of Trenton
and the woman also earns $13 week
in local cigar factory.
Sullen and haggard, people are
seen everywhere and, where a few
months ago groups were discussing
when things would pick up, today i
helpless attitude is seen everywhere
The streets and stores are deserted
early and the city is taking on a loci
of apathy.
Will the workers wake up and come
out of this trance? w.

COMP TON PLANT
WORKERS EAGER
FOR BULLETINS
Fight Bosses Union in
Textile Plant
(By a Worker Correspondent

ARCTIC, T.. l., (By Mail).-This
morning at the West Warwick Mill
and at the Centreville plant Of the
Compton Co. in Arctic, 1000 leaflets
containing the general program of
the New England Progressive Com
mittee were given out to the workers
while an organizing committee of the
Amalgamated Textile Councils Of
America were issuing a bulletin
against the company union which
has been in force in the West War
wick Mill since the strike of the
United Textile Workers was broken
there last year and which the Comp
ton Mills are just starting. The work
ars seized on the leaflets eagerly, as
is usual today in New England, and
were ready as usual to talk to the
workers who were distributing.
The Amalgamated Bulletin while it
has many shortcomings strikes at the
heart of the problem ''the Company
Union" and shows capacity for
leadership in their warning against
the introduction of the four loom
system.
The workers in the mill are willing
to talk and one fellow remarked with
grin that the superintendent is very
generous, and will give" them all
the looms they want; "the sky is the
limit"
The workers of Arctic, textile
centre of the Pawtuxet Valley, have
Ia name for militancy, and the lesson
of the Iron Battalion, under the de-
termined leadership of Louis Nardella

For some time l have been I'M

me to find job in New ork City,
decided to try my luck in New
Jersey.
BayOnne Dead.
| First | went to Bayonne. There
walked into many establishments ask
ing for a job. None of them had
vacancies. The building industry there
is at standstill. The Standard Oil
Works at Bayonne have laid off many
workers. Not being able to find any
thing in Bayonne l went to the neigh
boring town of Elizabeth.
AS soon as l came to Elizabeth l
went to the employment office of the
Singer Sewing Machine Co., on Trum-
bull st. "No help wanted" was the
reply.
The next day l went to the Durant
Motor CO., on Newaxk Ave, Elizabeth.
About 800 workers were standing in
line formation looking for jobs. A cop
was there to keep them in line. None,
however, were hired.
Walked Till Tired.
So thought I'd walk up and down
the streets till my feet were tired.
Then l walked into the Union County
Court, on Broad and Elizabeth Ave.
The juvenile court was in session.
A little Negro lad was charged with
stealing some small change. His
mother is a poor working woman who
earns SIS per week. Out of her wages
she has to pay $13 per month for
rent. She said that it is impossible
for her to care for the boy. The lad
was sentenced to the reformatory at
Jamesburg, New Jersey. The whole
trial took about eight minutes. The
woman was too poor to hire a
lawyer. The court did not give her
one. The prosecutor even demanded
that the poor woman pay money for
the lads expenses while at the re-
formatory. The presiding justice saw
that this would be too much for her
so he decided she shouldn't pay any
thing.
Eight minutes for a trial. This is the
Justice" handed out to the poor.
Then white lad was charged with
breaking lock. The owner of the es-
Establishment claimed that the lad was
innocent. The judge suspended the
case and put the boy on probation for
six months. No charges or counter
charges were heard. The Judge
simply gave his decision. The trial
took five minutes.
No Justice.
After this little fellow, boy of
ii was charged with "mishandling a
little girl of five years" His trial
took up several hours. His folks We're
well-to-do and they provided an at
torney for him. Altho all the evil
dence showed that the lad was guilty,
his charges were suspended and he
was put on probation for one year.
Had this lads parents been poor, he
would not have got off so easily. This
is sample of the "justce" that
saw handed out on that day.
After two days l came back to New
York City and began to look for
job as previously.
