by a Worker Correspondent

by a Worker Correspondent
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (By
MaiD.-Chattanooga is known as
the Dynamo of Dixie" because it
is constantly being industrialized at
great rate.
One Of the most important prob
lens of the South is the race prob
lem. Jim Crowism exists every
where. In the street cars, the front
seats are occupied by whites, the
rear by Negroes. A sign posted in
the front of the car reads: "This
part of the car for white people. +"
In the rear is a sign reading: "This
part of the car for the colored race"
You will note that the Negroes are
not even called people.
There are separate waiting rooms
for Negroes and whites at all rail-
road stations-lavatories the same
different cars on railroad trains.
You must not address Negro as
mister" You call him by his first
name. and you must not say to a
Negro, ayes, sir"
A white is "man." A Negro is
a plain niger" A white woman
is a "lady." A Negro Woman is a
woman" A white girl is a girl
a Negro girl is "gal."
Whites and Negroes are not al
lowed to eat in the same restau-
rants. They are not allowed to at
tend the same places of amusements
or the same hotels. Factories have
separate iavatories for whites and
Negroes. White and Negro workers
do not congregate in the same
places. The Negroes arc given the
worst and hardest jobs. They are
the lowest paid. For the same
kind of work Negro is given much
lower wages than a white worker.
About wages. Laborers employed
on the Bachwan Tunnel at Highland
Park, Tenn, by the Hamilton Com
pany, Tenn, receive $3.50 day. All
laborers are Negroes. Chauffeurs
receive 40 cents per hour.
The Chamber of Commerce of this
city is making an attempt to unite
Chattanooga with the surrounding
suburbs into Great Chattanooga.
The chamber is also inviting bids
from firms to establish factories,
mills and shops here. In many cases
this body gives money to firms
establishing plants here. The Cham
Der of Commerce is practically the
real government of this city.

CINCINNATI, by Mail) -. .e
Metal Aircraft Corporation of Gin
cinnati has a brand new factory
and lot of brand new men. I was
there as an airplane mechanic, but
got discharged for daring to smoke
at lunch hour. The workers are
nearly all skilled at some trade OF
craft and get a miserable pittance
of 40, As, or 50 cents an hour. They
work eight and three-quarter hours
day, and on many Saturday af-
ternoons we had to work overtime
at the same rate of pay.
The company believes in high "ef-
ficiency," and has system where
by the bosses know exactly what
and how much each worker is doing
They are certainly quite efficient in
the exploitation of labor and at
being particularly stingy in the
handling of supplies.
The company got profits and free
advertising space by selling the
workers white overalls with the
company's name or their trade
mark on the back of the overalls.
These were sold the workers at $3.50
a pair and the men were expected
to be very proud of them. The men
do not belong to a union of any
kind.
AT lunch time we did not have
any lunch room to go to in the fac
tory, nor any lunch table to sit at
but had to sit around on anything
we could find.
Altho there was nothing inflam-
mable or explosive any place around

greasy superintendent asked me if

lowed to smoke at any time in the
