As a Waitress Sees It
After a Day OF Slavery
lBy a Worker Correspondent

by Worker Correspondent
Spring has gone, summer is here.
1t is hot and sultry in New York; it
is dusty and suffocating in the old
shop. Listen Lilly, why shouldn't
we go out to the country and work
there? Summer is so wonderful and
it is too hot in the city; let US go to
the mountains where nature is beau
tiful, and they say the air is so
fresh and pure. Yes, to the noun
tains we go! We will work there
too, we will work as mattresses, the
work is hard, we know - but at
least we can enjoy the lovely nature
all around, and the pure fresh noun
tain air."
All day travelling, and here we are
in the most picturesque spot in the
mountains. Here is the house where
we will work, big round house, sur
rounded by a large terrace, lawn
in front of the house, little benches
and a net, weaved out of numerous
little electric lights, different colors,
so lively so jolly i. band is heard
in the distance. This is Hotel Rich.
Oh, it is so nice around here, Lilly,
it must be good to work in Hotel
Rich! Nature is so mild, and I sup
pose so are the people, not so cold
hearted like in our old New York.
The proprietress of Hotel Rich, a
little tiny lady with jet black hair,
little pointed nose, and angry eyes.
Here girls, is something to eat,
you must be hungry, you can go to
bed early tonight, you will just wash
for me those few glasses, but here,
have a glass of coffee first" Thru
with coffee, we would gladly go to
sleep! But it is only six o'clock and
we are getting paid for the day, and
we did not do anything today, just
travelled. Here are those few
glasses, girls, that you ought to do
for me tonight; and then you will
go early to Sleep" Gosh! Those few

OH q Worker Correspondent
KALAMAZOO, Mich. (By MaiD.
Two hundred and fifty workers at
the Limousine Body Co. of Kalama-
ZOO walked out in "a body the other
day on account of the czar-like
methods of factory superintendent
R. T. Nolan. This hard-boiled egg
nearly brought on fist fight be-
tween himself and some of the work.
ers at the plant just before the
walkout.
Following the near fist fight the
men walked out all together. This
man Nolan is unreasonable ard inn
possible to work under. He drove
the men so hard that they could
hardly stand on their feet. He
bawled the men out as if they were
dogs, for the slightest reason, or
sometimes for no reason at all that
the men could see.
Nolan used to be a captain in
the army and still thinks that he
is in the army and we are here to
act like sheepish soldiers. Nc doubt
he would like there to be a guard
house in the factory to put men in
when they do not slave as hard as
he orders them to do.
Many of the men in the Limou-
sine Body Co. were in the army N
the world war and got their belly
full of taking orders on behalf of
the Wall Street government. They
don't intend to act like dumb SOL
ciers.
The men are all unorganized.
That is the pity of it, for if they
were organized they would be MAX
ing more militant demands than
they are. They are asking that
Superintendent Nolan be removed.
They are not making any demands
for wage increases or better hours.
They would if they were led by
fighting union, the Auto Workers
Union. They are not making any
demands as to safety conditions
either.
The Limousine Body Co. imme-
diately began to advertise in the
Detroit papers and in other cities
for scabs, but did not state that
the men were wanted for strike
breaking. Many men came here in
answer to the ads, not knowing
there was strike on. Many refused
to scab.
At first the company was paying
the fare of the men it hired as
strikebreakers to Kalamazoo, but
now it is refusing Of course to paw
their return fare, leaving them
stranded.

Schwab, Mandel Ambitious
Plans for Coming Season

FOR next year, Schwab and Man.
del plan their usual musical pro-
auctions. The first will be a light
operetta by Frank Mandel, Oscar
Hammerstein End and S gnu d
Romberg which will open here about
January. The second will be musi-
cal comedy written by Laurence
Schwab, B. G. DeSylva, Lew Brown
and Ray Henderson to follow "Fol-
low Thru"
However there will be at least
seventeen companies of musical
shows all over the world in which
Schwab and Mandel will be in
terested. Thus, with their three
fold activities; original shows, pos
sibly talking pictures and duplica-
tions of their shows, Schwab and
Mandel expect to put in one of their
busiest years.
Their international activities will
include: two companies of "The
Desert Song" touring England and
two touring Australia. One will
tour the large cities of the United
States and one the South. There
will be companies of "The New
Moon" in New York, Chicago, the
Coast and London and companies of
Follow Thru" in New York, Chi
cago, the East, the Coast and Lon
don. Paris will see productions of
"Good News" "The Desert Song"
and "The New Moon" There will
be Good News" in Hungary and
a "Desert Song" in Prague.
Ned Jakobs has secured for early
fall production a new musical
comedy, tentatively called "Glory
Bound" The book is the joint work
of John Heagney and Ned Jakobs.
The lyrics and music have been writ
ten by William Heagney. Casting
is to begin at once and the produc-
ton will open out of town in
September. Jakobs will be recalled
as the producer of "The House
Boat on the Styx" and. 'The Money
Lender" presented on Broadway last
season.

DOCK WORKERS
KNOW Takers
ARE Their FOES
Blacklist for All Those
Who Protest
By a Worker Correspondent

By Worker Correspondent
l am a worker on Piers Is and Ia
of the Ward line. This is a union
dock controlled by the international
Longshoremen's Association. To
work on this dock you must be a
relative or countryman of the stew
edore. To hold a job here you must
smuggle liquor out of the dock. This
is done for the bootlegging ring that
rallies around the stevedore. We
take a great risk, for if we resist
search by customs guard we are
more than likely to be shot. If we
do not smuggle liquor we can not
work under union conditions which
are violated openly on these docks;
such as employing three truckers
where four are called for. Where
ten men should be in a hold they
take only eight men sometimes
six - in open violation of the union.
In order to pile up profits for the
bosses instead of fighting for decent
conditions for our union members.
If we protest against the vicious
speed up, we are blacklisted for
months and sometimes years. When
the delegate of our union visits pier
Ia he is taken quickly to one side
by the stevedore. The stevedore then
is permitted to hire non-union men
while union men are left without a
job. The excuse given is, no union
men were present at the shape up.
This is lie. We union men are
well aware of this and can prove
it.
Race Discrimination.
Race discrimination is the order of
the day at these piers. White steve
dores will not hire colored long
shoremen and vice-versa. Favorit-
ism is rampant.
Now, we dock workers can do away
with these conditions if we would
organize ourselves into dock commit
tees and together with the other pro-
gressive longshoremen who r e
fighting the l. L. A. and form an
Industrial Union which will fight for
the interests of the dock workers
and against the rotten system of
favoritism, of speed up, of exploita-
ton on the job.
Know the Role of the I l.. A.
Yes, we workers want to be or
ganized, but NOT in the Interna-
tional Longshoremen's Association,
headed by Ryan, or any American
Federation of Labor union. We know
what this I. l.. A. is and what it's
only interest is to collect dues
and to act as strike breakers. There
is only one way, to my mind, that we
marine workers can better our con-
ditions, and that is through a new
fighting union, based on ship, dock,
and fleet committees, and embracing
all marine workers from all branches
of the industry, irrespective of race,
creed or color, to do away with Jim
Crowism, to do away with this ia
voritism, to give us better conditions
and more pay, and prevent hiring
and firing at the will of the boss.
l for one am one worker that is more
than willing to join such fighting
union.
