! Il Labor Bills Killed
In State Legislature

ATBANY, March 23.-A1nong the
bills killed when the state Legislature
adjourned here yesterday were all
those that had any labor flavor. They
included bills providing for a straight
48-hour weak for women and minors
IN industry, for one day of rest in
seven and several relating to the adj
cinistration Of the state compensa-
ton law All these measures were put
10 death in the assembly without any
debate or any word of explanation
from the politicians. They were bills
which Gov. Smith posed as sponsor
ing in his pretense at interest IN the
cause Of labor. The officials of the
State Federation Of Labor continue
to tell the workers that they will
benefit Ly keeping Smith in office.

ARNOLD, Pa, (By MaiD Il have
not yet been able to centralize a
group of Worker Correspondents
here but I am working up informa-
ton on conditions in several of the
factories which 1 will send you and
we can distribute The D ALL Y
WORKER to these shops when the
correspondence about their conditions
is published.
We have had some trouble with the
police here. They refused us per-
nit to hold a Ruthenberg memorial
meeting, as well as hall. But we
turned the crowd away to another
hall in New Kensington and had a
very successful meeting.
We also have plenty to do with
the Pennsylvania and Ohio relief
work. And also with the "Save-the
Union" work.
Last Sunday the Lewis machine re-
lief committee had a troublesome
meeting here trying to cut the pro-
gressives from the relief work. They
passed their motion all right and the
result was that five men broke away
from the machine, Stronick, the sec
rotary of the Central Labor Council
who are now affiliated with the Penn
sylvania-Ohio Relief and the Save
the Union program.
We sent two of them down to the
central office of the Penn-Ohio Re-
lief in Pittsburgh to get them ac-
quainted with us and they pledged
full support to our cause.
Also the Kinlock local of 900 mem
bers have two delegates elected for

ference. j.

Easy Prey to Bosses
"a q Worker Corregpondent.l

by a Worker Correspondent
The Niagara Manufacturing Co.
operates at AT Greene st. This firm
manufactures automobiles covers,
tops, etc.
Operators work mainly piece work.
They made between $35 and $50 per
week in former times. Now the
wages have been cut and it is i'm
possible to make $50 a week.
One cutter who received $50 a week
was recently fired. In his place the
boss put boy. This lad receives SIS
a week and does the same amount of
work as the fellow who received $50
a week.
Every once in a while the bosses
cut the wages of the workers. There
is no union and thus the workers are
unable to repel the attacks of the
bosses.
In the past many attempts have
been made to organize these workers
into union. The union was called
the Automobile Cover Workers
Union. At one time they had an
agreement with the bosses. A certain
Mr.. Weiss of the Fancy Leather
Goods Workers Union of New York
City was an adviser for these work
ers. He got several presents" but
he did not accomplish anything.
They also had charter from the
United Hebrew Trades. The latter
body got per capita dues from this
union. They never made an attempt
to organize the trade.
They they went en- masse into the
Aircraft and Vehicle Workers Union
of North America, affiliated with the
American Federation Of Labor This
international Union never made an
attempt to organize these workers.
Finally the union broke up because
the workers themselves did not sup
port the union.
Now the trade is completely I'M
organized and the bosses can do any
thing they want with the workers as
far as wages and hours are con-
cerned.
The A. F. of L. has time and
again promised to organize the auto
mobile workers In reality they
hev2h't done anything. It is about
80 that these workers had a union.

Injunction Against

taken out by S. H. Knopf and the
Burton Manufacturing Company of
Boston and Quincy, Mass, respec-
lively, against Local 267 of the Anal
gamated Clothing Workers Union,
was dismissed in the Boston Superior
Court yesterday, when the union at
torneys proved that both firms were
owned by the same corporation. The
S. H. Knopf Company, which had an
agreement with the union, was try
ing to establish the latter firm on
non-union basis, thereby violating
their contract with the union.

NEEDLE WORKERS
idle AS PRISON
GETS THEIR JOBS
Jail Inmates to Make
Flood Relief Clothes
by a Worker Correspondent

by Worker Correspondent
LOS ANGELES, Calf, (By MaiI !.
An effort is being made here to
utilize the county Jail, a dungeon
overlooking with at least 1900 in
mates, and an institution connected
with many shady deals in the past.
An afternoon paper says in part:
Hundreds of little babies must be
clothed. There is need for layettes
for new babies and for babies just a
few months old. Send new outing
flannel in any quantity to the county
Jail, women's department, care of the
chief matron. Inmates will makes
layettes and hurry them to their des-
tination, by which is meant the scene
of the San Francisco dam disaster"
Mayor Cryer has announced that
the city of Los Angeles will take care
of all damages in connection with the
collapse of the dam. But perhaps the
few things owned by workers and
poor farmers are not to be considered
as property" by the mayor.
A great many clothing workers are
idle. Why doesn't mayor Cryer put
union men at work on the job making
baby clothes for the victims of this
catastrophe for which the Municipal
Bureau of Water and Power has been
bla m e. by prominent engineers,
biologists etc.
What is the difference between
scab made and prison made goods
anyhow? The Union Label depart
ment of the A. F. of L. ought to be
able to answer that question. The
local Central Labor Council, however,
seems to be more interested in the
expulsion of Communists than it is
in scabbing outside, as well as on the
inside, of prison walls.

An unemployed conference was
held Saturday, March II, at Webster
Hall, 10 E. 18th ST. Two hundred and
fifty individuals, one hundred and
eleven of whom were delegates, were
present. Seventy-six organizations
were represented.
The conference was called by the
New York Council of the Unemployed
for the purpose of considering ways
and means to raise relief for the un-
employed workers.
Scott Nearing was the principal
speaker. "This is the eighteenth
period of hard times in the country"
Nearing told the conference, "the on
ly way to overcome unemployment is
to overcome capitalism"
The Workers International Relief
was endorsed by the conference. A
resolution, presented by William
Weinstone, district organizer of the
Workers Party, was unanimously
adopted. A resolution treating the
specific problems of young workers
was also adopted. Offices were filled
and committees elected so that the
unemployed workers will not be lost
sight of by the workers who as yet
ave jobs, and so that plans for action
which were adopted by the conference
will be followed by action. &C.

a. a Worker Correspondont.l


ST. HELENS, Ore, (By MaiD.-
l want to inform you of the condi-
tions here and give you some infor-
nation in regards to organizing. |
will write first some of the conditions.
Wages here run from three dollars
and fifty cents to four dollars at the
saw mill where 1 am working. There
are about 800 men employed and
maybe a dozen get over four dollars
which is considered good wage for
this country now.
The superintendent hires every
day letting other men go who need
the work badly. He says that by
working them two weeks at time
he can get all they can do out of
them.
If a man is told to work overtime
or Sundays and is for any reason
unable to do so he is promptly fired
the first thing Monday morning.
This happens every Monday. The
foreman takes delight in letting a
man off and hiring another.
The country is overrun with I'M
employed and once you're out of
work it certainly is hard to get any.
The common wage in Portland is
three dollars and twenty cents per
eight hours and this applies to all
paper mills and factories, excluding
women workers whose wages are
from two to three dollars.
l have never seen less work for
so long time as at present and am
satisfied that it will get no better.
know of several families that are
in want of food and clothes when the
father is working every day. Wages
are so low that it is almost impos-
sible to make both ends meet.
There isn't any union except the
company union (The 4L's) if you can
call this union. Everybody seems
to be waiting for somebody else to
come along and organize them.
A fellow Communist and | have
started to organize them the best we
can. We have taken several lists of
contributions for the miners relief
among them and have talked of the
Workers Party and have the promise
of number to join. We feel we are
doing well but need some literature
as we are all out of copies of the
DAILY WORKER.
We would like to have about 25
copies of the paper and some other
literature to pass around among the
workers. Please remember that the
west is ready to organize and that
there isn't any better time than the
present. &C.

TEXTILE WOMEN'S
HOURS INCREASED
Mill Owners Start Fight
On 48-Hour Law
By THOMAS O'CONNOR
Federated Press).

BOSTON, March 23.-Hard-boiled
textile barons, owners of the Massa-
chusetts senate, won another battle
in their war to drive textile workers
back to serfdom when senators voted
to allow women and girls to work in
the mills until 10 p. m. The present
limit is 6 p. m.
1t is certain that the bill will knife
the 48-hour law Bosses would hire
women coming from a full shift at
another mill for an extra half-shift
from to 10 p. M, thus rivalling the
south's notorious 12-hour shift. The
penalty for violation, set at 500 to
$50. is ridiculously low.
General Sweetser, state labor COM
missioner, will have the say-so in the
administration of the night work law
Sweetser's outstanding achievement
in the field of labor and industries
was his leadership of the national
guard as it marched to the rescue Of
Lawrence mill owners in the 1918
strike.
Textile interests, which have abso-
lutte control of the republican party
of Massachusetts, have practically
disfranchised workers in the import
ant textile centers of Lowell, Lawr-
ence, Fall River and New Bedford,
thus Gripping their fight on the 10
y. m. bill in che Legislature.
The house committee on labor, hav-
ing reported favorably on the bill
passed by the senate, is about to re-
port on another bill to wipe out the
48-hour law.
