Paid Agent Exposed in
Army Propaganda Plot

WASHINGTON, May 81 (FP).-
Rep. McClintic of Oklahoma, address,
ing the house, read a report from
postal inspector generating the Ma
tional Council for Prevention of War
from the charge, made by an army
propagandist in the employ of the
war department, that the councils
printed matter was sent out under the
frank of Rep. McClintic. Such use Of
the congressional franking privilege
is illegal. McClintic had opposed the
big-navy bills.
Rep. Andrew of Massachusetts and
Rep. Britten of Chicago, big-navy adj
vocates, had spread report that
printed arguments against the big
navy construction program, issued by
the council, had come to many persons
enclosed with a speech by McClintic,
in McClintic's franked envelopes. One
Harold Weeks of Wellesley Hills,
Mass, made affidavit that he received
such an enclosure.

Prosperity Among the Neighbors
How about Negroes?" l asked.

How about Negroes?" I asked.
Hard to say" the worker an
swered. "The plant is run on the
piece work basis. Everyone is hired
at a piece rate"
ANY minimum

who do not make more than that as
piece workers are paid 35 cents as
time workers"
do many get the 35 cent rate?
eyes, the hour-men. Also many
workers who fail to make their piece
rate because of low production or be-
cause of slowing up in the depart
ments."
"How much do the piece workers
get?"
Cup to 60 cents. Usually under so
cents an hour"
els that a good wage?"
eyes, very good. There are few
skilled men, working in the more i'm
portant machines who make go cents
and 65 cents an hour. But they are
the exception"
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1928-05-28

Plant at Oshawa, Ontario, walked out
in opposition to wage cut. There
was no union in the plant. Suisse
quently the men were organized and
affiliated to the American Federation
of Labor. On April 10th the Struc-
tural Iron and Steel Workers of Tor
onto and Montreal walked out. A
few were union members. Other
strikes have occurred among unor-
|ganized workers who are entirely out
of contact with the labor movement.
Among all these strikes, the strike
of the 5000 General Motors workers
lis the most significant. General Mo
tors has thus far been as bitterly
anti-union in Canada as it is in the
United States. The workers at Osh-
ava had not even been approached
by the A. F. of L. organizers. They
took the matter of defense into their
own hands.
Canadian labor is on the move
Piece work, drive and wage cuts are
pushing them to action. Even the I'M
organized are using the weapons of
the labor struggle with the vigor and
precision of labor veterans.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1928-05-28

In Hamilton (pet name, among the
bosses, "The Birmingham of Can
ada") 1 found workers doing heavy
lifting work in wire mills and steel
mills for $12 a week. Several men
were working for $11.
Next / asked about unions in the
Toronto plant. The worker said:
''No unions at all. And no one
seems to take any initiative in or
ganizing the workers. There are two
anarchists and two Communists in
our shop but they are so busy trying
to make a living for their families
that they cannot do much in the way
of organization.
Wave of Strikes.
The worker with whom I was
speaking had been trying hard to
study in the evenings. But the pace
was beyond him.
"When I am working 81 hours
piece work." he said, 81 am too worn
out to study l find it impossible to
hold my attention or to keep awake"
A wave Of strikes is sweeping thru
Eastern Canada. Two months ago
the workers in the General Motors
