by Worker Corresponding
For almost two years have been
working in the Loehning Aeroplane
Manufacturing Co. plant, factory
employing over 100 workers, and
situated at 31st St., right on the
East River. 1t has now been taken
over by and become a division of the
Keystone Aircraft Co., very large
airplane manufacturing concern with
a big out-of-town factory.
We have been very busy during
the entire time ] have been here, as
shown BY the fact that at Christmas
time bonuses were paid out. These
bonuses were not as a reward for
past work but to keep us working
and to keep down strong feelings of
dissatisfaction and the voicing of
our grievances. Most of us got
much less than we expected. These
bonuses are paid to us instead of
paying US according to definite
minimum wage scale as would be in
force if we were organized into a
union, either a part of the Machin-
lists Union, or, much better, part of
a large aercplane workers union.
The bonus system comes together
with the paying out of shares to
most of the foremen and gang
bosses and to those workers among
US who have been faithful slaves
for the company for the last five
years.
By means of holding out the
promise of shares and giving some
privileged" ones among us shares
they arouse the poisonous fake idea
that we must look forward to work
ing and shaving for the business as
if it were our own, as if we were
not being used only for the profits
that can be drained out of US, This
is part of a whole scheme of col
laboration-shares in the business
bonuses, even a bowling team
among other welfare" ideas, which
staged mock game against the
team Of the keystone Aircraft men
into whose firm we were taken over
little before Christmas. But ever
this they were too tight" to see
through, as they are bringing up the
question of having US pay 81 week
for the alleys if we wish this Won
derful privilege of playing.
At the present time we are faced
with an additional serious problem
as I see it. The management is
more and more taking in young, alb
solutely inexperienced workers for
very little pay, and training them
to take the place of the more skilled

ton that the police who have been
grating on the illicit beer trade had
not been getting their payments
from the Moran bunch, successors
of Dion O'Bannion's gang, and there
fore executed" them as a lesson to
other slow payers, Another contri-
buting cause in the killing, says Sill
loway, is that the police work hand
in hand with the West Side gans S
of Scarface Al Capone, and others,
and that the Moran group Chi
lacked" a load of beer, belonging to
Capone--the partner of the Chicago
police.
Many Connections.
This is not the first time Chicago
city administration has been hooked
up with gangland. States Attorney
Grove, (recently retired) some time
ago was embarrassed by a picture
taken Of beer runners banquet
which showed him as an honored
guest. Assistant states attorney
McSwiggen was killed by a rival
gang while attending a similar con-
ference to this one in Clark's
garage. On the day before the
present killing, Alderman Haffe Of
the district in which the death
garage is situated was sentenced tt
Federal penitentiary for being 9
leader in a bootleg ring.
Political Factors.
The various gangs in Chicago's
lucrative beer running business are
partisans of groups in the city gov.
! eminent who work with them, pro.
tect them in return for graft, share
in the profits of the bootlegging, and
use them during elections to kidnar
rival political workers, shoot ur
pooling places, etc. The gangsters
also serve during strikes to kill OF
intimidate workers and the whole
gangster, police and city government
is viciously anti-labor, but enter
twined with the labor reactionary
bureaucracy.
Complete Job.
A coroner's jury is sitting on the
cases of the seven slain men, each Of
whom has from eight to a couple
of dozen bullets thru him. The
killers shot them down with the
first burst of fire, then reloaded the
machine gun and played it on the
heap of bodies.
