Lady" Boss Drives the
Slaves On
(Bu a Worker Correapondentl

PHILADELPHIA (By MaiD TO
fully describe the conditions exist
ing in the notorious slave pen called
the Vernon Cafe at so w. Chelten
Ave. in Germantown, Philadelphia,
would take long, but briefly it is the
worst hell-hole for workers of all
the restaurants in town.
Long Hours.
The polished brass and pretty cur
tains appealing to Germantown
society" drip with the sweat of the
workers. Normally the workers in
this place work 60 hours a week, but
four or five times a week they are
ordered to stay later, and they must
stay with no extra pay, or lose their
jobs.
The food given the help is impos-
sible to digest; it is always cooked
out of stale meats. On days that
fish is on the menu it is not given
to the workers but if not sold two
or three days later then we get it.
Most of the workers there suffer
from stomach ailments due to this
food.
A Lady" Boss.
This restaurant, with "lady" boss
who was a former cashier has a
special speedup system. The walters
working in the dining room, who
work in front, have to walk a half
block to the kitchen and the "lady"
boss is always after them with the
eXclamations hurry up" get move
on" wake up" etc.
Some of the workers on the front
stations actually run in order to
serve the cutomers, This place hires
and fires at will; every day walters
are fired for no reason at all.
Depend on Tips.
Those that stay are doing the
work of the others and get the same
wages of $3.50 a day for a 10 hour
day. In order to earn enough for a
bare existence it is necessary for
the walters to speedup and make
some tips, which degrades the work
ers and makes the slave drivers
holder.
More Work.
In the kitchen the walters have to
wash all the water bottles, sugar
bowl, polish and wash silver, pre-
pare appetizers, all this kitchen
workers job in addition to the work
in the dining room, and waiting on
tables. There is not a second OF
rest from IL a. m. to 8 or $50 at
night, and after 10 p. m.
When you enter the kitchen some
cheerful" signs greet you. "All
packages and parcels carried out by
employees must be Inspected" mo
talking on the floor during meal
hours" every waiter on his station"
employees are not allowed to drink
coffee during or between meals" and
numerous others.
There are no lockers for any in
dividual worker; the clothes have to
be hung on nails in the filthy and
wet cellar. If coat slips off the
nail the employee has to pay for
cleaning it.
Workers Aroused.
Recently the Vernon slaves have
been aroused by the news of the or
ganization plan of the General Food
Workers Industrial Union and some
have joined, while others are send
ing in their applications. They
Irealize that only thru organization
will their intolerable conditions be
abolished.

NO SAFETY FOR
coal. DICCERS IN
West VIRGINIA
Charge Double Prices
in Company Stores
(By a Worker Correspondent


WHEELING, W. Va. (By Mai)
The wage cutting policy of the
coal operators is now on in full
swing in the mines of the Wheeling
lection. Anyone familiar with the
life ard working conditions of the
West Virginia miners and especially
IN the Wheeling section would think
that the miners are surely getting
the full effect of the weapons of
heir eXploiters from one side and
on the other side are reapiug the
fruits of their past indifference to
unionism. Seeing the present de-
plorable and miserable conditions
you might think tn. bottom was
reached, but the worst for the min
;ors has yet to come.
Cheated on Weight.
Until now two or three DAYS work
q week was the custom among US
here, making in many cases not
even S25 for two weeks work. We
pay rs cents for lamps, whether
using them or not. We get no pay
for dead work, and we are cheated
wholesale on the weight.
We are compelled to deal with the
company store, where double prices
are charged us, for everything is
sold higher there. We must deal
with the company stores or else we
are fired. We also have to live in
company shacks fit only for pigs.
Lack of Safety.
Talking about safety in the mines,
there is not even a vestige of it;
rs a natural result of this lack Of
safety miners get killed every day
in explosions or are permanently
crippled.
These are only few of our suf-
ferings. On top of this the coal
barons are beginning to wage a
wholesale wage-slashing drive.
In Triadelphia and Elm Grove, in
the three mines owned by the whole
sale murderers and robbers, the
Priestly Co., of Cleveland, this
method was put into effect last week
IN somewhat dirty manner. Fear
ing that the miners would not ac-
cept their generous" cut from IS
cents to so cents ton, they did not
warn the miners in advance, but
waited until all the men went in
snd started to work, and then they
posted the notice outside of the
mines, at the same time going
around telling the miners individu-
ally about this cut, adding that, if
anybody did not like it, he could
take his tools and get out.
Men Walk Out.
Some, of course. threatened with
starvation, accepted the cut, and
about 90 per cent walked out, carry
ing their tools. This served as
treat stimulant in our local of the
National Miners Union, which we
organized some time ago.
In Moorwood, West Virginia, a
suburb of Wheeling, where two
mines are operated by the CONSTANCE
Coal Co., the same miserable condi-
tons are prevailing and the same
wage cut policy is in order. There
is only one way out, one way to
fight these rotten conditions, and
that is to unite the miners under the
banner of the only militant mine
union, the National Miners Union,
end, together with all the workers
of the world, to mercilessly fight
our common enemies that exploit
and rob us-the bosses. NICK.

AUTO FACTORIES FOR The WORKERS
Lower Wages Than for

by Worker Correspondent

tbY w OFheT COTT6SpOHuGHtI
DETROIT, (By MaiD AS I went
out to get paper this evening, |
saw a copy of the Labor Defender
for the first time. l read it with
much interest. The article Ration
alization in Automobiles" appealed
to me especially as l am working in
one of the plants in the great Gen
eral Motors Combine.
l am a night worker which like
better than days because l do not
have to break my neck to get to
work at $50 a. m. / work from
400 to 1890. Many things have
puzzled me since I joined the fac
tory workers. Why, for instance,
should a woman be paid only a little
more than half of what a man gets
per hour for doing the same kind of
work? On small punch press work
especially, women have nimbler
fingers and can correspondingly put
out more work so they ought to be
paid more, not less. Heavier work
is and should be the mems portion,
Men would get more anyway even
if they were paid the same because
they work longer hours, Of course,
| am talking now of group work or
gang" work as it is sometimes
called, with bonus. The highest a
woman can make is so cents an hour
whereas the men start with 40 cents.
I had never done factory work be-
fore. l had done office work and
later on worked as a waitress where
l made anywhere from $40 to $40
week. This factory work pays
about 500 and occasionally $22 or
S23. 1t is unusual to have a full
twelve days on a pay and then the
pay is less than $40 week.
Piece work is almost entirely
abolished in Detroit, and then it is
only in the cheaper factories where
the price per thousand is so low that
the average worker does not make
SIS day. Even here there is a limit
to how much you can make for the
price per thousand or hundred is
cut if a worker can put out more
and then you have to work harder to
make what you did before the cut.
/ also worked in the book depart
ment of one of the big stores. 1t is
worse paid than the factories.
Fifteen dollars a week. When my
feet began to suffer I could not put
by enough money to supply myself
with proper arch supports. At least
in the factory I do not have to have
a we'll dressed appearance and I can
sit down at my work.
/ have often wondered why there
were no unions to force better pay
for the factory workers and voiced
this wonder to one of the women
who seemed of higher mental
calibre than the others. She told
me I must not talk of such a thing
as it was 'heresy" in a non-union
city like Detroit.

camps are places to which young men
come with confident expectation of
finding in them the best ideals of the
American community. Therefore, the
discipline is kindly, considerable and
friendly, but firm, just and impartial.
The honor system, as used successful

largely depended upon for control.
Previous experience has proven its
success in handling young men who
attend the camps. There are neither
Courts Martial nor guard houses.

to drop a young man for the lack of
