Search for Work Is
Futile in N. Y.
(By Worker Correspondent

On Tuesday l got up at 6 a. m.
20 look for job. When one must
cat one must make money, other
wise I would take it as easy as
those that do not spin or weave Jour
beloved bosses).
The first job went to was in
answer TO an advertisement for a
junior salesman job at Leightons.
47th st. and Broadway. I was
pretty early there so that when at
s o'clock | noticed that there were
q half dozen waiting I figured that
the chances of getting job were
pretty good. At 9 o'clock, when the
manager came, there were only
about SO there. The manager inter
viewed about eight young men and
took a couple on the side for later
inquisition of their life history, and
told the others to go.
AS I kept or walking downtown
7 stopped at R. H. Macy's, on 34th
st. At the employment (?) office
I stood in line with about 200 other
unemployed, who were guarded by
special police who every minute
shouted at the ever-increasing
crowd, mo drivers, chauffeurs or
helpers today" The young man at
the desk, where finally arrived,
listened to me politely, drew a pic
ture on piece of paper and said,
Nothing today" so I left there at
$50.
I walked up the block to the gen.
eral post office. I walked up to the
clerks office for
temporary job as clerk or carrier.
No results. The clerk there imme-
diately said, "Only drivers wanted"
l got out and walked to Gimbles,
also on 32nd st. At this time, 10
a. M, there were only about fifty
workers present and a couple of
minutes later the clerk announced,
"No help of any kind wanted" So
l went out with the others to try
my luck somewhere else.
Finally, coming to 23rd st. at
1890, I stopped at Schraft's (candy
and sodas) and in the employment
office they said, mo male help
Well,a tomorrow T win get up
about $50 a. m to get a job. I
must eat. NJ j.

Q. You are perfectly right in
that. Step down.

YOUNG FIGHTERS

WIZ Boss Learns Who
Is the Wiz
(Bu a Worker CORES pondentl

by a Worker COrrespondent)
A rapid fire strike which broke
out in the plant of the WIZ Manu-
featuring Company, 9Th Ave. ant
18th St, yesterday gave the young
workers there a taste of their own
power through solidarity, and ended
almost before it had begun in q
complete victory for the young
workers with the boss almost beg
ging for mercy and promising to be
good.
Seventy-five workers in the WIX
plant, manufacturing the expensive
Knight Radios, have become in
creasingly aroused at the furious
speed-up and other evils under
which they are employed. Wages
are very low, the majority of the
workers receiving less than $22;
many only SIG. No talking is al
lowed. No smoking for the work
ers, but the bosses pass through
putting on their fat cigars.
35 Layed Off.
Last Thursday 35 men were layed
off without the slightest notice, for
the rest Of the week on the pre-
text that there was a shortage of
materials. No thought, of course,
OF their own shortage of food at
home. The remainder of the force
was speeded up still further.
Thursday night, half an hour be-
fore quitting time, to cap the eli
max, a notice was posted on the
time clock announcing that, begin
ming with the next morning, every
worker would have to report at 1880
o'clock instead of at Sis as before.
Resentment flared up throughout
the shop at this new slave-driving
order and the workers determined
not to comply with it.
Friday morning the young fight
ers gathered before the shop but
refused to enter before 8:15. They
acted like real union men and walked
in together. Berger, one of the
bosses, then began the old boss
trick of trying to pick off the lead
ers Pointing to three or four of
the men, he said: you're fired, and
you and you"
"Then we're all fired" the men
shouted, and walked out in a body.
The men from the testing depart
ment and from other departments
Joined with them. Not a single scab
remained in the shop.
That's the Way,
=, Frantic, the bosses ran out for
their workers. This time they had
to meet committee which had been
formed. The changed schedule was
taken back and the bosses agreed
not to discriminate against the
leaders.
The workers of the WIZ plant
must form a union and force the
bosses to recognize it and sign
written agreement with the usual
union conditions. This is a good
time to do the trick in the pre-
Christmas rush Stick together,
fight the boss. Demand better pay,
shorter hours, and recognition of
the union, which is your greatest
weapon in fighting the bosses for
your demands.

Cloth Weavers' Kids
Wear Rags

(By a Workers Correspondence
Among the many unorganizec
Industries in Trenton is the textile
adustry. Trenton is no textile
enter and yet it boasts of at least
our textile mills. One of these is
he Princeton Worsted Mill which
manufactures much worsteds of the

There is a peculiar thing about
his mill, something which can read

They are attracted here for two

mothers are imprisoned within the
our walls of the factory nearby.
They are there producing the finest
md most expensive goods while
heir children are roaming outside
jagged and poorly clothed.
The mill, when operating normal
y, employs about 500 workers. Re-
GENTLY at least half of these have
oeen laid off. Practically all of the
hight shift has been done away
with. Only about so weavers are
now employed, and they are driven
more than ever before. Two looms
must be operated of three to six
shuttles, and for this unhealthy and
dusty work the workers are re-
munerated by pay envelope rang
ing from S13 to $22 week, most
ly depending on luck.
Prosperity"
In order to feed their families
the workers of the Princeton
Worsted Mill must sacrifice their
lunch period. They operate their
looms during their half hour set
aside for lunch in order to increase
the size of their weekly pay en-
yelope. Due to this small number
OF weavers at present EMPLOYED.
their wages have been greatly re-
duced, for when operating normally
1t was possible to average from $40
to $35 week.
The working conditions in general
are unbearable. These can be i'm

Harry Sinclairs tainted contribution to the Republican National campaign fund is a source of modification not only to the party officers who receive it but to every Republican. It was part of the profit of immoral deal by which officers of oil companies mulcted the companies to which they stood in positions on trust and out of his share Sinclair paid the brbe to Fall for the naval oil leases which the United States Supreme Court without a dissenting vote de- nounced as corrupt, The contribution was made when the naval oil leases were already under investigation by Senate Committee and when the evidence had already given strength to sus- picion and corruption.
