With Aldermen Against

City council today asked the In

name a committee to work with
councilmen on the redistricting Of
precincts for the fall election.
Councilmen will take every pre-
caution against fixing the precinct
boundary lines III such a way as to
benefit the George V. Coffin Repub
lican political machine which Is
battling the manager forces.
THE council should DO everything
possible TO insure a fair election for
the city manager organization. The
new form of government should
have d fair trial and be protected in
every way possible from those hns-

Councilmen instructed Paul Rath-
ert. election chairman. and City
Clerk William A. Boyce Jr. TO study
the map Of precincts being prepared
By county commissioners with the
view Of cooperating in fixing the
boundary lines to avoid duplication
of the work.
The council was advised as to the
plan of George v. Coffin, city Re
publican chairman, to score over the
manager forces by weaving the
precinct lines.
Council indicated that the 237
precincts will be increased to about
257. County commissioners plan
ffty-one new precincts in the city
wards, but Councilmen believe that
d needless expense.

sideration Of the daylight saving

Baptist Let's Win by

other victory was registered for the

temporary injunction under which
the school is operating.
The college had originally been
closed by DR.. Shields of Toronto, at
the time member of the group
which for the years had waged a
relentless war against those stu
dents of the college whose faith
had been contaminated by CLEANS
of scientific truth.
The lefts protested against the
stoolpigeon tactics used by Shields
and his agents to uproot the reli-
gious ';sedition," and, pointing to
damning evidence in hotel register,
charged that that Shields relations
with his girl friend and stenograph-
er had been dangerously carnal.
The school had been closed sub
sequent to an attack on the building
by the baptist boys, who swore by
their holy bibles to get vengeance
on Shields. The servant of the lord,
however, escaped by hiding in the
darkest corners of the cellar, sub

The conditions of these young mine

themselves heard above the heads of

arm methods are used and expulsion
from the union is the result.

CHICAGO IRON
WORKERS STRIKE
Tie Up Many Big Jobs
of Construction

CHICAGO, Ju--.o "A strike of
all organized bridge and structural
iron workers in Chicago begun
Saturday, has succeeded in COM
pletely tying. up over $200,000,000
worth of construction work. The
workers on strike are all members
Of the Bridge and Structural Iron
Workers Union.
The workers are demanding an in
crease in wages from $12 day to
$13 day. A compromise offer by
the boss contractors of $3.50 a day
was refused.
Among the construction jobs tied
up are the Merchandise Mart, the
worlds largest building, the new
building of the Chicago Civic Opera
on the river front, and the new
Board Of Trade Building.
The overwhelming demand of the
strikers that no compromise offer by
the bosses be accepted made the Off
Gals of the union decline the $3.50
a day offer. The officials of this
union have long record of class
collaboration and opposition to mill
tant action, and attempts to sell out
the strike are expected.

PHILADELPHIA (By MaiD.-In
the ruthless exploitation of labor for
which it is notorious thruout the
country, the Baldwin Locomotive
Works spares it's white-collar slaves
no more than it does the shop work
ers. The drafting force, in fact,
leads such a hand-to-mouth existence
that the term Tabor aristocracy"
when applied to it becomes a sour
joke. This force now runs into the
hundreds and takes up three whole
floors of the newly erected six-story
office building at Eddystone.
A Baldwin job is a see-saw propo-
sition at best. Long slumps, during
which half or even three-quarters of
the personnel" is flung into the
streets, are followed by short-lived
boom times" when every-man jack
is rushed to death.
Right now the plant is up to the
rafters in work. But instead of hir-
ing extra men to take care of the
extra jobs and thus easing the I'M
employment situation hereabout, the
drafting department bosses, like the
bosses in the shops and foundries, re-
double the tasks set for their serfs,
saddle them with compulsory over
time and whip them on with a nerve
swapping speed-up. Three nights OF
overtime, four hours night, are COB

will get drafting stiff off. And

MONROE BRIDGE, Mass. (By

worker correspondence letters in the
Daily Worker dealing with speed-up
and naturalization in industry and
what it means to the working class.

an outstanding example of ration
alization in the paper industry. This
is in the nature of larger and larger
machines being built and run at al
most unheard of speeds. And this
is all in the face of what is consid-
cred a most serious rate of over
production in the industry.
Several years ago machine 145

tremely large. Today the newest
machine in the paper industry is 3O4
inches wide and runs at speed of
1900 feet perminute. The capacity
of this machine is we'll over 200 tons
per day. 1t would take over half
dozen of the older machines to do
that. And this machine is operated

Craftsmen at the Baldwin
Locomotive Haze Hard Lot

IL is not unusual Tor men who
have shaved five or ten years on a
Baldwin board to get the gate. In
the last lay-off craftsmen who had
spend all their lives in the service
of the blood-sucking owners were
thrown on the bone-yard together
with the newcomers. Where these
workers would end up, knowing
nothing but locomotives and the
Baldwin system, was no concern of
the bosses.
For months on end the skeleton
crew that is retained in a "bad sea-
son" works only three days a week.
Then with the arrival Of rush orders
the slaves, bent double over their
drawing tables, and thin-blooded
from lack of exercise, are kept on
the go for 16 hours at a stretch.
Starvation first, then overwork. In
either case the Baldwin System"
helps to fill the drugstore, the hos
pital and the morgue.
Steal Inventions.
Once a craftsman has been favored
with job, the bosses claim a mon
opoly on his brains. Whatever in
ventions he designs automatically
becomes the property of the COM
pany, and he is lucky to get a

the case of young drafting room
worker who recently perfected a

tune in the open market. But one
Of the chief engineers got wind of
the idea, grabbed his plans and
patented the device in his own name.
Today it is standard equipment on all
Baldwin locomotives, the inventor is
not richer by a plugged nickle.
The wage scale in force at the
Eddystone plant is known far and
wide as the low-water mark of heavy
industry. 1t is a common saying
among local craftsmen that GERRY

road to the poor-house. Robinson,
the head slave-driver, likes to get
hold of youths just out of high
school and ''break them in," paying
them as little as 25 cents an hour
to start. The high school is his in
exhaustible source of cheap labor.
Even the handful of designers (who
in other plants would be rated as
engineers) do not make much ove1

average is about $50, detailers o,

Such is the envious state of one
section of the 1abor aristocracy.'
Craftsmen elsewhere are hardly bet
ter off. Lack Of organization is to
blame of course. Their one union
so far as known, is the decadent
American Federation of Marine
Craftsman, and that, to all intents
and purposes has passed out Of the
picture, as the overwhelming mass
of drafting workers never heard tell
OF it. Which is nothing to weep
about, because it only claim to fame
rests on the fact that it "voted" to
hold the craftsmen at work when the
rest of the workers went out 100
