MIDLAND STEEL
A BUTCHER SHOP
Fingers Chopped Off
Every Day
(By a Worker Correspondent

s(BY q WORKER Correspondent
ECLEVELAND (By MaiD Mid
land Steel is a real butcher shop es-
peeially when you work on a press.
Almost every day some one goes out
with his finger chopped off. Last
Tuesday one worker had two fling
crs, one from each hand, mashed
off when the press repeated. The
presses are never inspected or
checked up. 1t is no wonder that
they repeat.
All of these accidents" are due
to the bosses speed-up and the lack
of safety devices on the machines.
The bosses want to get out the big
gest possible production, at the
lowest possible wage.
Overtime and Piecework.
There are couple of soap-bubbles
floating around Midland that got to
be busted. One of them is this nom
sense about piece work. On the
line they pay us So much per hun
bred frames and tell US that the
more we put out the more we get
That's straight lie. In the first
place, Midland does this in order to
make US work like hell and push the
fellow workers up along the line.
When they see that we are putting
out more frames, then they cut
hands, as they did months ago,
and let US kill ourselves twice for
the same money. And if you still
keep on doing it then they cut your
pay. That's how Midland piles up
profits-at the expense of us
workers.
The other cloudy soap-bubble is
overtime. They try to tell us that
we make more money by working
overtime. Yes, that day or week we
make more by killing ourselves. But
what it really means is that by all
this overtime and speedy piecework
we are really working ourselves out
of job.
For next week, or next month,
after Midland has it's order out,
there will be no work for us, and
we will lose everything and more
than we made. Overtime and piece
work also mean that other men are
brown out of job. So everytime
the foreman comes around and yells
I'VE are working overtime today" or
1--WE got to get our 500 frames out
Today remember that Midland is
making more profits at our expense,
and that we will soon find ourselves
rustling for another job. By organ
izing we can demand a 7-hour
day, decent wages, safety on the
OBJ, no speed-up or piecework, and
keep our Job.
