pockets and good use for them, why

Bowser. Then it belonged to whoever

that that is the law. Now, getting back
to the matter of those pockets: Sup
posing Old Mother Nature gave you a
pocket in each cheek. Can you picture
yourself getting a bone into one of
those pockets?"
Flip confessed that he couldn't, but
he didn't see what that had to do with
the subject. He wanted Bowser to ex-
plain.
well, you see it's this way" said
Bowser. "Old Mother Nature has given
Striped Chipmunk pockets in his cheeks
because he has use for them. He has
to store food for the Winter and he
has to collect that food and carry it
to his storerooms underground. So
Old Mother Nature gave him those

AUTO ENGINE IN REAR.

More Speed and Less Noise Claimed
by Makers.
One of the new automobiles being
hown this year is car that carries its
engine in the rear, where most motorists
would hang the spare tire.
Tank, carburetor and everything are
there, and the power is applied almost
directly to the back wheels. The maker
claims more speed, less noise and COM
plete absence Of engine fumes inside
the car as the chief advantages Of this
departure from the customary method
of engine mounting.

What impresses one most about
the Workers Laboratory Theatre is
the absence of artistic shibboleths in
its attitude and presentation. They
are, to my knowledge, the nearest
approach to the Blue Blouses, the
workers dramatic clubs OF the
Soviet Union who move their props
and scenes from town to town, vii
lage to village, spreading the new
revolutionary ideals and the new
proletarian ideology throughout
Russia. It was distinct pleasure
to watch them Sunday night; few
minutes to set up their stage, which
they had brought with them; a few
minutes more for the adjustment of
the props, and they were ready for
the play to begin.
If future productions of this little
group are equal to Marching
Guns" it should, undoubtedly, de-
velop into a real vital force in the
lives Of those workers who, either
as audience or participants, come
into contact with it.

'Marching Guns" Embryo Of
Real y. S. Workers Theatre

In the production of Marching
Guns" a one-act play depicting a
mine strike by Louis A. De Santos,
the Workers Laboratory Theatre
has exhibited what may be the en-
bryo of genuine workers revolu-
tionary theatre in America. Moving
with the swiftness of actual life ard
struggle from beginning to end,
this little drama achieves what a
more ambitious organization has
failed to do in three years of ex-
istence: the actual dramatization of
the class struggle. The play is
vivid, and contains so much action
in its brief presentation that an en-
tire strike scene is laid before the
observers eyes, and a militant Com
munist course of action is outlined
for all workers in all strikes. Played
with gusto and tremendous vigor,
no one can doubt that the actors
have faith in the promise of their
production; no one can doubt the
revolutionary integrity Of the lead
crship of this group.
The entire play is one of conflict.
While the class-struggle, the strug-
gle of the miners against the COM
pany for the major motif of the
play, lesser theme, adds to the
reality of the production. This
minor theme concerns itself with the
internal struggle within a miners
family, with the efforts on the part
CT the militant daughter to impart
some inkling of class-consciousness
TO her backward and scabbing
father. Only the killing of Joie, his
youngest son, by company gunner,
and the insistent rawlings of Grand
mother Keppard, whose life is OBJ
sessed with the bloody mine mas
sacres of the past, sway Keppard,
in the end, to grab his rifle to fight
on the side of the militant strikers.
And throughout this individual
struggle of man torn by his past
loyalty to his masters and his new
awakening of class-consciousness we
see spread out in the distance the
greater and more important theme
of the class struggle. Though the
windows of the Keppard shack the
strain of Solidarity" sung by the
revolving miners surges softly but
powerfully into the stage, increas-
ing tenfold the perspective of the
play.

Rail Bosses
Aiding the

by q Worker Correspondent

by q Worker Correspondent
Through the direct assistance
of the respective general passen-
ger agents of the several western
railroads in the Chicago territory,
the United States Army Head
quarters, Sixth Corps Area,
Pershing Road, Chicago, is for
warding under franked covers, to
all local railroad station agents,
circulars, posters, pamphlets,
dodgers, ETC., extolling the vir-
tues of military tr..ing under
the auspices of the c. Nj. 7. c. in
the various summer camps.
As this literature is accom-
panied by an official letter from
his superior officer in The general
passenger department, it is obi
gatory upon the local station
agent that he post the circulars
and posters in his waiting room
and do everything else possible to
induce young men from his town
to join the summer camps.
Penalty" pc. cards have been
furnished him upon which he is
asked to endorse the nam S of
young workers who may be fooled
into swallowing the capitalist-im-
perialist bait of = citizen-trained
army for the next world war.
As it was meant to be, the
literature is very subtly gotten up
and well illustrated with half
tone photos eulogizing life in the
capitalist army organizations, so
that any young worker reading it
may be led to join the service for
polishing off his awkwardness,
so that he may become a loyal
slave in the military corps of his
masters, cannon fodder for the
coming wars of aggression of
American business against the
colonial peoples in Latin-America,
China, against the British EN-
pire, or against the victorious
workers and farmers of the Union
of Soviet Socialist Republics.

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, (By MaiD i.
The bosses of the Winchester
Arms Co. are preparing more wage
cuts for us. Already they cut the
wages 25 per cent in the gun depart
ment. Wage cuts are constantly the
rule in the whole plant.
Each time we are speeded up we
also get a cut in our wages. No
worker in the Winchester plant can
make more than As cents an hour.
Most of us make only between 33
and SO cents an hour.
The company is making millions.
The more the bankers and million
aires who control the Winchester
Co. make, the more they rob us.
If we go on accepting wage cuts,
we will get more and more of them.
When the workers in one depart
ment get cut, it is sure as death
there will be wage cuts in all de-
partments.
To stop this wage cutting cam
paign we must organize.
A boy of 16 lost a finger in the

was scared by the boss shouting and
speeding him up. He hurt himself
due to the speedup, and is cripple

AKRON, Ohio, (By MaiD.-This
city is owned practically lock, stock
and barrel by the Rubber Trust.
Over 5000 rubber workers work for
the big plants in Akron and vicinity,
The Goodyear, Firestor and Good
rich are the leading rubber COM
panies. Goodyear owns over 1900
acres of land in and near Akron.
There are about $4,000 rubber
workers in the Goodyear plant alone.
The workers used to be all skilled,
but unskilled labor came in with new
speedup machines. There are many
hundreds of Negroes in the rubber
plants. About half of the workers
are native born.
Dangerous Work.
The work in the rubber plants
wears you out; tire building in the
Goodyear plant makes a wreck out
of man in a few years. The speed
up in Goodyear's has grown worse
every year. In some departments
the workers are soaked with water.
In other departments sulphur fumes
choke the en-. The accident from
acids and chemicals are frequent.
The plants work either two or
three shifts. The workers have to
take turns on the shifts. You may
be on the 4:30 shift one day, start
in the afternoon another day, and
the next day, you may start work at
night.

ONE OF betrayal
Sold Out Tidewater
Strike In 1928
(Bu q Worker Correspondentl

| 10y u W OIheT COTFeSpOUueHCJ
! BAYONNE, N. j., (By MaiD.-
The new Works Council was elected
last Tuesday at the Standard Oil
works in Bayonne, and likewise in
the Standard Oil of N. ]. works at
Caven Point, Jersey City and the
refineries at Bayway, Elizabeth,
N. ].
Council for Bosses.
The Works Council is composed
of men who will sell us out always.
Instead of taking our complaints to
the superintendent, as they are said
by the company to do, they will act
as stool-pigeons, as the Works
Council always has.
The Strike at Tidewater.
Last May the Works Council sold
out the workers in the Tidewater
Oil refineries, which are also in Con-
stable Hook, N. ]. Over $500 work
ers went out in a spontaneous walk
out on Wednesday, May II, 1928.
The strike started when So stillmen
on Still No. went out against the
firing of John Rooney, a veteran
shopman, and against the low wages
and speed up, which were causing
many accidents from acids and
chemicals.
Over 500 workers on the midnight
shift went out, and soon, the next
morning, the whole plant went out.
Even marine workers joined the
strike, refusing to help carry Tide
water Oil on the barges and thus
help the company against the strik-
ers.
Unorganized.
The men were all unorganized,
and without leadership. They were
inexperienced in striking, the last
strike having been in 1915. The
workers were always complaining
that the Works Council was only a
blind for the company's speed up.
Seeing the men without leaders,
the men on the Works Council STEP
ped in, and took the Leadership" of
the strike. The Works Council then
proved nothing but a company
union, and the leaders of the Works
Council forced the workers to vote
blindly to return to work.
Sell Out Strike.
They were sent out by the COM
pany to effect the sell out, and a
week after the strike they made a
recommendation to the strikers to
end the strike.
The company was making "con-
cession" they told the men. Edward
Foerst, the Works Council man who
had proclaimed himself "leader" of
the strike, told the men at a mass
meeting in Hooper Cooper Hall,
"Being brave in this strike will not
pay your board. Think it over" He
told the men 5 of the z demands
would be met, which were minor
points.
eve want union," and "sellout,"
many of the men shouted. The COM
pany union men had to take three
votes before they were able to claim
that the men wanted to go back.
This action in selling out the Tide
water Oil strike last May shows the
Works Council as nothing but a
company union.

The wages of the men were 70

were only recently cut when the

On Tuesday, March rs, 100
women and so men stopped work,
demanding a raise in pay. By 10
o'clock the foundry department
was tied l., because of lack of

flat rate of 65 cents to 6S cents

increased to 70 to 80 cents an
hour. The bonus system was
abolished.
1t is reported the company is
trying to find out who were the
leaders of the workers in this de-
partment. We want the company
to know that if they try to victim
ize any worker in this depart
ment, that every one of us are
ready to go out on strike. And
the company may find that this
time they have more than just

WOMEN SLAVE
FOR PACKARD
by a Worker Correspondent


DETROIT, Mich, (By MaiD.-
Women are working for as low as
rs cents an hour in the Packard
plant. The average wage of women
is 80 cents an hour. Last year, when
trimmers, making 70 cents an hour,
went on strike, women took some
of their places at 35 cents an hour.
Women labor in the Packard plant
under speed-up system that makes
them wrecks at an early age.
Yet Packard's poses as a "pro-
tector of women's morals" This is
to be expected of company whose
principal stakeholder is that sane
timonious murderer of the two
working class leaders, Sacco and
