CAP
Gar, IN TALK
ABOUT MASSES
But His Masses" Are
Thugs and Bosses
(By a Worker Correspondent

by a Worker Correspondent
A few remarks to expose Presi-
dent Zaritsky of the Cap and Milin-
cry Union. If there is still any
doubt in the cap workers minds that
Zaritsky is as bad as Sigman or
other grafters in the needle trades,
he should have been at the lecture
of Zaritsky at our local meeting on
Dec. a. Then he would surely make
up his mind once and for all as to
what kind of man Zaritsky is. The
twaddle I had to hear; I envied those
who failed to show up for the meet
ing. He began: "Do you know why
the Communists last longer than
the I. w. W.? Because they get
money from Moscow. The left wing
in the cap unions cannot get any
following" continued this faker.
This is a lie, of course. The
bosses, police, thugs and the courts
to subjugate the workers, certainly
these followers the left wing has
not got. But take away these
masses" from Zaritsky, Sigman,
Schlessinger and the other needle
takers, and see how long they would
last. I do not agree with you, Ia
risky, when you said Every doc
trine can be carried through only
when the membership are willing
to do it." You say "the only way
to do it is by a vote" Well, how
many votes did you get in Local 43
for your policy? None. Did you
carry through their will? Certainly
not, that is not in your line. You
used the same methods as your fell
low CRATER, Sigman; you expelled
the whole local and had them thrown
out of the shops. Of course, with
the help of your "masses"-the
bosses and thugs.
Why is it when you read clause
in our program that we are against
piece-work you lodged that ques-
ton? Because you wished to in
stall the piece-work system. Your
lecture indicated that we militant
cap workers are big factor in the
labor movement, and that we strike
you in the right place. Apparently
you realize you cannot get rid Of
US. You are doomed to go.

"My most cordial greeting to the
Daily Worker on its Fifth Ami
versary. May the militant paper
live to see its 50Cth birthday. 1t is
the only weapon we workers have
to expose the conditions of slavery
the bosses impose on u.s." So writes
a Worker Correspondent of the Daily
Worker, G. Stohlberg, of Grand
Rapids, Michigan.
whenever the steel trust cuts
our wages, speeds us up still faster,
and lays off few hundred more
workers, the only paper which will
expose the bosses is the Daily Work
ers. I'm wise enou h to send in CORE
spondence from my mill to the Daily
Worker" This is what one of the
slaves of the billion dollar steel trust,
who slaves in the Republic Steel and
Iron Co. mills in Pittsburgh for less
than S22 a week, writes.
Look this page yer. It's your
page. In it, workers all over the
country, from the fighting textile
workers in New England, to the op-
pressed white and Negro slaves in
the cotton fields of the South; from
the oil workers in Bayonne, the
slaves of Rockefeller, to the berry
pickers and lumberjacks on the
Pacific Coast bring to each other
their message of solidarity.
Every day brings fresh wage cuts,
greater speed-up to the workers of
the United States. Every day brings
more misery to the slaves who sweat
so that the already swollen bosses
may get fatter.
In its five years as the only Eng
fish speaking daily of the working
class, the Daily Worker has been a
chief reliance of the workers, their
faithful ally in times of struggle
against the slavery imposed by the
bosses. 1t is to the Worker Core
spondent page of the Daily Worker
that thousands of workers have
turned, to expose the slavery in theil
obliged to take inventory at stipu.
lated periods of the year.
Naturalization also hit the office
force. The girls in the office get
sometimes, as much as $12 pei
week. The new managers told then
to "speed up" or they'd be displaced
by other girls at $40 per week after
the holidays. And it must be re
membered that all the girls mus
dress well to hold their jobs, all OF
such meager wages.

nearly all of them, followed in tn,

The big mail order house of Sears
