to clip off the ends of threads, etc.,
on chiffon and crepe before it is sent
to Paterson to be dyed. The girls in
our mill are very badly paid. We
only get $40 week no matter how
long we have worked here, and this
is for so hours; 9 hours on week
days and five on Saturdays.
The quillers get only $40 and the
winders $14.50. The boss doesn't
pay us every week, but every two
weeks and then he always is one
week back in pay. So new girl has
to wait weeks for her first pay.
All the bosses here pay this way. l
suppose they are afraid the girls
might not like their jobs, and so keep
their pay back to be sure they'll
come in. Some mills pay even less.
I know some girls who make only
Sc and 81 a week. 1t is hard to get
along on these wages as you must
pay about 81 for a room, and then
food is not cheap either.
Perhaps some day the girls here
will organize. l hope so.

"A Visit to Soviet Russia"
at the Waldorf This Sunday

A motion picture of contemporary
life i'll the Soviet Union will be
shown at the Waldorf Theatre. 50th
St., east of Broadway, this coming
Sunday. The film, "a Visit to
Soviet Russia" will have its one and
only performance in New York I'M
der the auspices of the Provisional
Committee, Friends Of the U. S. S.
r. There will be four continuous
performances, starting at 2 p, m.
The film is the official motion
picture of the tenth anniversary of
the October Revolution. Acclaimed
by the cinema critics of Germany
and France as the finestt film pic
torial ever produced dealing with
life and conditions in the Soviet
Union, it undoubtedly will repeat its
European triumphs when shown
here. The picture has been received
with unprecedented enthusiasm
wherever it has been shown.
It is graphic record of the trip
made by the workers delegations
from forty countries through the
Soviet Union during the tenth ami
versary. The audience travels with
the delegations. They visit Lenin-
grad and see every point of inter-
est. The giant statue of Lenin is
the first thing that meets their eyes
when they arrive in that historic
city. They they go to Moscow, to
the Ukraine, the Volga districts and
Dnetz Basin. Then south with an
other delegation to Causcasia-and
back to Moscow for the celebration.
Among the places visited are
Smolny Institute, the Hermitage,
which contains one of the largest
art collections in the world; the
headquarters of the Moscow, Lenin-
grad and Kharkov trade union; the
kremlin and the tomb of Lenin. In
Ped Square we attend sessions of
the Trade Union Congress and the
Central Executive of the U. S. S. R.,
when the announcement of the seven
hour work day is made public.
We view the most modern centers
of industry which began operation
under the Bolshevik regime, includ-
ing shoe, automobile and electro
technical apparatus factories, power
stations, glass and paper factories.
An extensive visit is made to the
gigantic project in the Donetz Basin,
and to the Baku oil fields. All the
ramifications of this great indus
trial enterprise are shown in great
detail. We are taken through work
crs' rest homes, clubs, children's vii
lagos and homes, the Red Army

NO 8-HOUR DAY
FOR women FOOD
SLAVES In CALF.
Broken Time Is Long
Day of Drudgery
by a Worker Correspondent
by Worker Correspondent

by Worker Correspondent
SAN FRANCISCO (By Mail).-
California has an eight-hour law for
women, but the majority of women
in food stores and restaurants work
more than eight hours because of
the broken time. If you come on
duty at 600 a. m. you work until
Loo o'clock, then go home, return
at $50, work until $50. If your day
begins at 500 a. M, you work I'M
til 100, then 600 to 500, HOO to
1900, and it is often a seven-day
week at that.
The conditions are very bad in
restaurants. You are forced to ac-
cept all kinds of insults from the
greasy boss and the customers and
can say nothing or out you go. There
are too many waiting for your place.
You can eat only the food given
you, always the cheapest on the
menu. The chain stores, like the
Mutual, have the same broken time.
About rs per cent of cooks, wait
ers and mattresses are organized in
one union, but the union is control
led by the men and there is no
chance for the women. If woman
member of the union asks for the
floor, she is Kissed down. She pays
nearly the same dues as the men
and gets less pay: $500 for a six
hour day; $500 a wee. for an
eight-hour day against straight
S24.00 for the men. And move
has been made to raise the women's
dues level with the men, but nothing
is said about trying to raise the
pay of the women.
If waitress works in a house
where the cook is not in the union
she is called off the job, but if the
cook is in the union he shows no
interest in having mattresses from
the union under him. These are
the conditions which face women in
this open shop stronghold.
The employment offices are full
of girls waiting week alter week
for work. l met young girl in
the public employment office. She
had been out of work for four weeks
and had had nothing to eat for two
days. She had been living at the
Y. W. C. A. boarding home. asked
her if they knew at the Y. M. c. A.
that she was out of work. She said
she told them she was penniless and
asked them to wait for her room
rent. The manager asked her if
she had no gentleman friend who
would help her out.
So we see that if a poor girl has
no work she can go on the street
for all these religious takers care.

ers and Mattresses Union.

Every week a ball was given by
