Mill Bosses Own It.

I went out from the mill, down
the long weaving room, out into the
warm, sunny streets of Columbia,
out among the hills with their aro-
matte pines. In Columbia the snow
never falls and the cold winds of
winter come not. passed the abid-
ing places of the mill slaves. These
homes are owned by the mill owners.
Shacks are rented at So, SO, and Sc
a month. The churches of Columbia
are owned by the mil lowners. The
schools are owned by the mill own
ers. Ministers and priests are
chosen by the mill owners.
Said the superintendent of Gran
by. "The hands is very religious,
and we'uns take pains to keep up
this spirit"
I spoke to the Cracker" super
intondent, "Do you employ Ne
groes?"
"Naw," drawled the man, "The
Niger goes to sleep at the looms.
The ALFRED hum of the machinery
gets on his nerves."
Again I spoke, "There is TO air
IN these mills, all the windows are
closed, and there is no ventilation"
"Naw," again he drawled. "Cotton
weavers can't have no air in the
mills. Air breaks the threads"

I said, "Some of these men work
ers are powerful in build, they are
intelligent, and they will not stand
for these things long; they will or
ganize on class lines"

The superintendent snorted
"Class lines Northern mill owners
are coming to Columbia, wooden
mills are coming, they won't stand
for unions-they air a-comin' for
cheap labor"
"What do you do for these chill
dren in the July HEATH" I asked
"Oh," replied the man, eff it gets
over 100 degrees inside the mill we
sprays outside with the hose"
do the workers get cold, ice
water through the heat?" 1 con-
tinued.
"Now you make me laff-let me
tell yu-uns somethin'. You speaks
about unions. We had half dozen
of them I. w. w. fellers down hyar
long since. They stopped three to
six months, reckons, a-tryin' to
organize the hans, an what do you
think they did to be popular? Them

BOUNCE TEXAS STAGE HANDS

HOUSTON, Tex.-Twenty stage

when New York magnates control

union has not announced what ac-

WANT BUSINESS HEAD.

Before the recent Brotherhood OF
Painters convention in Denver came
machine delegates from Glendale
Cal. and Terro Haute, Ind, with a
demand that the international union
be placed under what might be
called a dictatorship. They proposed
that a business manager, to be paid
as high as $4,000 a year, assume
command of the union.
The Brotherhood, viewed as a mil
lion dollar concern or better, is en-
titled to the services of high pres
sure business executive who has
won his spurs, not in the organized
labor movement, but in big business
itself, in the view of the machine.

Chang Kai-Shek's government was

on the Marking troop ship, were
disarming Marking punitive troops
sent out under General Chang Sci

Both Chang Kai-Shek and Chang

Offers Constitutional
Changes Thursday

The United Press correspondent
reports from Vienna that the Steer
WITT government will turn over to
the parliament Thursday a plan for
considerable change in the Austrian
national constitution. The change
will be offered two days before the
Heimwehr ultimatum expires.
The Heimwehr, or Austrian fas-
cist military organization, several
days ago demanded that the consti-
tuition be changed to place dictator
ial power in the hands of the pr.si-
dent, with the idea of fascisting the
government, and threatened to march
on Vienna and seize the government
by force of arms if their demands
were not met.
Government Action Suspicious.
1t is known that the Austrian ma
tional council has been considering
these changes, and that the govern
ment is giving no real attention to
any preparations to block fascist
coup.
A large meeting of Heimwehr was
held Saturday, at which the opinion
seemed to prevail that the govern
ment was cooperating with them.
A meeting of 100000 landbund IRE

his PROSTATE body and hit him with
an iron poker until the poker was
bent out of shape, the coal digger
almost unrecognizable and his last
moan stifled.
The attack upon Barcoski is sup
posed to have started when he re-
fused to be a witness against q
friend accused of bootlegging. When
they had gotten him to the barracks
and dubbed him to the floor, Lieut.
Lyster, one of the defendants, is
reported to have stripped to the
waist and seized the poker saying,
81 feel like a good workout" The
workout" was taken behind locked
doors. Harold Watts and Frank
Slapkis, the Coal and Iron cops who
brought Barcoski to the barracks,
relieved Lyster whenever he got
tired.
The trial was originally scheduled
for June 10, but deferred until now
on the plea by defense counsel that
public opinion was such that fair
trial was unobtainable at that time.
The attorneys for the defense are
going to claim that Watts struck
Barcoski in self defense only after
the latter had attacked him while
he was investigating the violation
OF the Volstead act. "The other de-
PENDANTS, it will be shown, did moth
ing to contribute to or to aggravate
Barcoski's INJURIES" the Mellon at
torneys claim, and expect to point
to the great number of German
workers killed by the three defend
ants during the World War as
proof of the desirability of sparing
their lives.
AS it is important for the pur-
poses of the bosses that the illusion
of fairness and impartiality be pre-
served, the workers expect that
perhaps one or two or possibly all
three may be sent to Jail for short
terms-with the promise of pardons
as soon as the public has had time
to forget about the case.

BIG MCCORMICK

STEP WITH CHAIN
Never Know What Pay

CHICAGO (By Mail).-I am a
worker in the Mccormack reaper
works in Chicago. We assemble
parts of binders that are moving
on a chain. We have to keep up
as fast as the chain is moving and
there is not a minutes let-up as
long as the chain keeps going.
We never know for certain what
our wages will be for the week. We
average from $27 to $50 a week.
Sometimes the chain breaks down
or gets stuck so they simply dock
us for the time that we are waiting
for the chain to begin moving again.
If the chain gets stuck one hour
before quitting time they simply
send US home with that much less
pay. On top of that the trucks that
they use are not electric trucks but
gasoline trucks and the smell from
them Injuries our health.
When we get through working
we have to wash up either in the
toilets or go to the painters wash
room where we have to wait until
the painters get through. We have
no Mushroom for our department.
Evidently the bosses don't care
whether we wash up before going
home or not, that is not their con-
Germ.
We are beginning to awaken. We
have established a shop paper, the
Harvester Worker, and think it's a
great paper. Through it's columns
and through the Daily Worker we
can expose the rottenness of the sys-
tenn in the shop and the raw deal
handed the workers, and point out
the need to organize.

HAWTHORN PUNCH

(By a Worker Correspondent

by a Worker Correspondent
CHICAGO (By MaiD Depart
ment 1888, Building 1912 at the
Hawthorn Works of the Western
Electric Company is a punch press
department. The workers are paid
on an individual piece work basis.
The day rate is $21 per week and
the maximum wage punch oper-
ator can make under the most mad
dening speed-up conditions on piece
work is $26 a week.
There is practically no ventilation
of any kind reaching the punch
press workers. The workers are so
speeded up that they have not got
sufficient time to remove their hands
while feeding the material to the
press before the safety flap in front
of the die comes down and strikes
their hands with the result that the
small fingers are all shrivelled up
with the thousands of knocks that
they receive every day.
The place is very unsanitary, the
lard oil sticks to the clothing and
stinks like hell. The operators have
their hands covered with a film of
oil, making the work more danger
Gus due to material slipping out Of
hands. The company does not pro-
vide wiping material nor does it
provide free laundry service or over
alls for these workers, who have to
dig out of their meager wages to
have this done every day.
The Western Electric slaves must
and will organize to end these con-
ditions, but they will follow the
leadership of the Communist Party
which will not sell them out.
