The first of the concerts took

composed of many nationalities and
several races. Sailors and long
shoremen, both black and white, at
tended. Various Party groups were

Importance of Negro work in the

mostly without getting anything for
overtime. And when worker
leaves his job because of the mis-
cradle conditions or because he
wants raise, he has a tough time
to get another through the union.
When he comes to the union he is
insulted and kept waiting for weeks
and weeks. Thus the union officials
keep an effective blacklist against
the workers. 1t saves the bosses a
lot of trouble and expense.
Know the Clique.
"The workers know the Clique for
what they are, but they are cynical
about individuals who oppose these
officials, because of their bitter ex-
perience with all sorts of outs.
We put much hope therefore on the
establishment of militant center
to be organized June 1, in Cleve-
land, at the Trade Union Unity Con-
ference, which will direct and con-
troll the efforts Of the workers to
overthrow the corrupt gangs. AS a
part of such an organization we will
be able to call the workers to sup
port us on the basis of our affilia-
ton and our program.
I'VE call on all workers in the Dry

gro workers to support the Trade
Union Unity Convention, and also
to get in touch with the Progressive
Group which is a part of this con-
vention."

Salaries Low.
Gould you tell me some facts
about the salaries of office work
ers?" he was asked.
'The National Industrial Confer
ence Board, which is the bosses re-
search organization, has fixed up a
budget for the single girl
office worker. 1t amounts to only
S19.39. This can be nothing else
but a near-starvation budget, be-
cause even the officials of the char
ity organizations have at times es-
timated that no girl can live decently
in this city on anything less than
$25 a week. Woolworth is paying
his girls a maximum of SIG week,
which shows it is even below the
budget of the bosses association"
Wages Lower.
"How do office women's wages
compare with those of men's?" we
inquired.
"Women's wages are lower than
those of men, because there is a
smaller number of women being
paid for the higher technical and
supervisory positions"
What is the relation in salary
between the office worker and fac
tory worker ?" Dunn was then asked.
Glow wages, difficulty in getting
jobs, and the speed-up plans and
reductions of scale in many of the
positions are showing these white
collar workers that they, too, are in
the wage earning class, and need
as much, if not more
than, workers in factories
What differences are there in
the wage scale between industrial
workers and office workers ?"
at is a fact that in period of
rising money wages, the wages of
white collar workers are smaller
than those of factory workers. In
New York State, for example, office
workers money wages increased be-
tween 1914-192S only SO per cent,
