MUST BRIDE TO
Get ANY WORK
Pay Graft to Foremen
and Labor Takers

by q Worker Correspondent
Every day on the waterfronts of
both the East River and the Hudson
River, and on the Brooklyn side too,
thousands Of workers can be seen
standing early in the morning wait
ing to be picked out for days work.
There are tens of thousands CT dock
workers unemployed on the New
York side alone. Most of the men
stand around three or four hours
waiting for work and then in the end
go home, not finding even few
hours work.
The union men have to work for
non-union wages. In fact, the men,
bers of the international Longshore-
mems Association are picked as tho
special goats for low wages by the
boss stevedore contractors in New
York. This is due to Joseph Ryan,
the head of the union and a Tam
many politician, for he is more
friendly with bosses than with the
workers. He collects his fat salary
and sells US, who pay him out.
Union Jobs a Myth.
The jobs that are supposed to be
union jobs are a joke. Union con-
ditions don't exist on the jobs. Ryan
don't care about that.
We are forced to cough up gifts
to Ryan's henchmen every little
while to get work, else we are ter
rorized and blacklisted. The steve
dore contractors also come across
with gifts for the business agents;
that's why union conditions don't ex-
list on the East River and North
River. The decker has to bribe the
foreman to get work also; ! paid
SIS last year all in all.
Dangers Are Great.
Then there is the danger we have
to work under. Unprotected matches,
and VIC fall in the hold and are
crippled for life; falling loads topple
on us. Try and collect compensa-
ton; it is usually proved to be your
own fault that the accident occurred.
Then try to get your union to get
your compensation. Nothing doing,
they are not there for that. So they
say, anyway.
Well, the dock workers, morgan
lied and those in the 1. l.. A., which
is the same as being unorganized
for all the aid it gives us, all of US
will join into the Marine Workers
Industrial Union.

Jim Grow at ''Hallelu jah"

Three days after the writing of
the yesterdays review on "Halle-
lujah" at the Embassy, the news
has come to light that Negroes are
being refused admission into the
Theatre. Those refused entrance
into the theatre are: Lloyd G. Phil
Ups, E. H. Boiling and Lorenzo T.
Debham, all Negroes.
Months previous to the release of
the film, careful preparations had
been made to prevent Negroes from
attending the Broadway showings so
as not to antagonize the swells who
pay $3.50 a seat at the exclusive
Embassy. So the Lafayette Theatre
was chosen in the segregated Negro
area of Harlem to show the film and
thereby keep the Negroes from COM
ing to the lily-white Embassy. But
the Lafayette was by no means
large enough to accommodate the
immense crowds that sought admis-
sion to see the first all-Negro movie
AS result, many Negroes flocked
to the Broadway house, only to find
themselves turned down at the box
office window because of their color

BOSTON (By MaiD. - The &c.
900 rubber workers in New England
are all unorganized. They work from
10 to ~ hours day and average 40
cents an hour in wages. The speed

BILE for serious accidents every day.
Stool Pigeons in Plant.
In the Cambridge Rubber Plant
the company has stool pigeons work
ing among the workers, and any
complaint against bad conditions is
followed by the worker being fired.
The Cambridge bosses threaten to
fire all workers who belong to the
Communist Party, or indeed, all
workers who attend meetings of the
Rubber Workers Industrial Union,
which is organizing the industry.
The big rubber plants are conferred

ers, as part of the campaign to or
ganize them against wage cuts and
speed-up.
This leaflet Immediately scared
the Cambridge bosses into issuing
special leaflet which was given
out among the workers on the after
noon before a T. U. E. L. meeting
was to be held for the rubber work
ers. The leaflet of the bosses lied
about the 7. U. E. L., saying that
the Rubber Workers Industrial I'm
ion was controlled by "outside radi-
GALS" and that the 7. U. E. L. was
responsible for the loss of $4,000
in wages by these workers during
their strike last November, when the
American Federation of Labor sold
them out. The lies failed.

vember over S150,000 has been lop-
ped off wages. The bosses try to
prevent the Rubber Workers Indus
trial Union from gaining by saying
it is against the church, the U. S.
government, etc. But so are many
of the rubber workers, who realize
that these two agencies are their
enemies.
So they are joining the Rubber
Workers Industrial Union. They are
off the A. F. of L. takers, for they
remember last years betrayal.

Safety Laws Good Joke to
Chicago Packing Bosses

This is the second letter of
correspondent describing condi-
lions in the sausage plants of
Chicago.
Most all of these filthy sausage
factories work Their slaves IL hours
day and the men six and a half
days a week. Engineers, firemen and
watchmen work II hours a day and
seven days a week with no time off
at all. Wages for the most exper-
fenced engineers, mechanics and
maintenance crew are at the most
go cents per hour. They are the
highest paid Of the slaves.
State Law a Joke.
Many women work far longer
hours than the Illinois factory laws
allow. will name some of these:
Mickelberry's Sausage Plant, at
10th Pl. and Halsted St.
David Berg, West 37th st.
Simon Kosher Sausage Factory,
So. Halsted st.
Most of the women are forced to
lie about the long hours they have
to work for fear of losing their jobs
and being blacklisted and boycotted
by all the packing corporations.
Only the serious unemployment
here makes men and women work
in these slaughter plants and they
never work in the sausage packing
plants long.
These meat and sausage packers
are all combined into a big manu-
facturers' association, for business
and against their employees. Many
of them have a company union, and
they will not tolerate workers be-
longing to real unions.
They take advantage of the army
of unemployment and make great
profit out of their misery.
All sausage factory owners be-
come multi-millionaires in a few
years when making sausage on a
large scale.
No Safeguards for Workers.

been enacted in Illinois to safeguard
workers against long hours of work,

Negro masses will learn more from
this occurrence than any lying mo-
vie concoction can ever teach them.
They will learn what to expect from

the white ruling class. They will
realize that an "epic of the Negro"
will have to include lynchings, seq
regation and all the suffering that
is the lot of the Negro worker under

an answer to the Negro petty-bour-

film as the "final acceptance and
recognition of the Negro as a factor
in the world of art, and the opening
of an era of better understanding
of the black race"
