COLD MINERS
MADE TO CLIMB
140O Fl. LADDER
Spite Work On Part Of
Managers
(By a Worker Correspondent


KIRKLAND LAKE, Ont, (By
Mail) There are approximately
100 gold ore miners employed by
the Lake Shore Mining Co. Wages
paid by the Lake Shore are from
S4.75 for machine runners, $4.24 for
nuckers, 1924 for trimmers, 81 for
trackmen and maximum of 81
day for surface men.
The bosses association, the Mine
Managers Association of Ontario,
determines the wages of these
miners. The wages are so low when
you compare them with the cost of
living here that the miners and their
families are always half starved.
A violation of Rules"
Recently the underground men re-
ceived a dose Of the boss's discipline
for what the boss considered "vio-
lation" Of one of the rules. On every
station there is notice to the eff
feet that when the men are waiting
TO ascend the shaft, after a days
hard work, they must stand Is feet
| from the landing. The manager
learned that the men were standing
closer to the cage than the regula-
ton of the bosses said. The boss
then caused the cage to go out of
operation when the three o'clock
shift should have been coming up
and remaining out of operation until
o'clock.
Forced to Climb Out.
AS result, the miners who want
ed to see the daylight had to strug-
gle up the perpendicular ladders
covered with muck, wearing long
rubber boots and loaded with tools.
Some climbed painfully from the
1400 foot level and from the various
levels up the shaft.
This is only one of the many
methods used to take the manhood
out of these men. These workers
are always kept in fear of losing
their jobs. They are forced to
stand for all sorts of abuse from
the mine managers. They have no
fighting union to protect them,
end are afraid to protest against the
abuse from the company.
This company mines 10000 tons
of ore a month, making profit of
$40 ton on the ore. This is a
profit of 100000 on the ore

claim to have discovered the ex-
fstence of classes in modern society
or their strife against one another.
MiddIe-class historians long ago
described the evolution of the class
struggles, and political economists
showed the economic physiology of
the classes. 1 have added as n new
contribution the following PROPOSE
tiOns: - that the existence of
classes is bound up with certain
phases of material production; -
that the class struggle leads neces-
sarily to the dictatorship of the
prO1etariat; 81 that this dictatorship
is but the transition to the abOli-
ton of NIL classes and to the ere
alton of n society of free and equal.

DISCUSSED With
A. +. l., CAR men
FALL prey TO co.
Officials Sell Out In
New Orleans
by a Worker Correspondent

NEW ORLEANS, (By MaiD.-
The New Orleans Garments Union is
no different than the average A. f.
of l.. union; that is, they are always
willing to cooperate with the bosses,
using the old method of mediation
and arbitration, etc. In the South,
however, the employers are not even
satisfied with such form of
unionism. The New Orleans Public
Service Inc. has, therefore, come to
the conclusion that if there is to be
union that they have to deal with,
they would rather have their own,
differed by their own men, who
would take their orders without
question, instead of dealing with a
union which is outside Of their juris-
diction.
And no sooner did the corporation
sign a contract with the union few
years ago, than they Immediately
set to work to organize the en-
ployees into their own organization,
called the Progressive Benevolent
and Social Club.
And to the surprise of the unions
officials, the company found its task
quite easy, for the employers argued
that the old union has accomplished
very little for them. And since the
employers could promise them prac-
tically as much, if not more, than
they could get through their own
union,-most of the employees Joined
the company union in which, accord
ing to the logic of those employees,
they could see no difference.
When the old-union officials no.
ticed that the employees were Slip
ping away from them, they raised a
rumpus and threatened to call a
strike. Immediately, as soon as the
announcement of the strike ap-
peared, the officers of the new COM
pany union applied for an injunction
and, of course, they secured it with
cut any difficulties. The officials
of the Garments Union made their
usual A. F. of l.. threats, but, as
usual, resulted into nothing.
The union officials agreed to arbi-
trate in a limited form the question
of the company's interference in the
affairs of the union, that the results
Of such arbitration can be of very
little practical value to the en-
ployees.
Awakening of Workers Begins.
The opinion of the workers in this
section of the country is that the
old unions have outlived their use
fulness. In the absence of a strong
revolutionary labor movement in the
South, it is natural for the back
ward employees to follow the advice
of the corporation and join their or
CARNATIONS. 1t is surprising, how
ever, to note that many workers are
beginning to talk about the short
comings of their organization.
Voices of real labor movement are
not loud enough yet, but the material
is being prepared by both the A. F.
of L., as well as the corporations.
The above named incident is one
of the many which is happening in
the South at present.

But There Was Work

The report of the Pennsylvania
Railroad reveals that 1924 less
workers were employed by the rail
read in 1928 than the previous year,
tho longer and faster freight trains
are claimed by the road. The total
freight car mileage increased 8,607,-
600 miles, according to the report,
which meant longer, heavier and
fewer freight trains ran shorter
distance, but at an increased speed,
with more cars to train and more
work for a train crew. Wages de-
creased $23,000,000.

For long time Sec'y Milstein

it interceded to mediate peace be-

Consumer Effect Is Cited.
Carl williams of Oklahoma City,

Grafton of the proposed $4,000, 900
marketing corporation would have no
tendency to increase prices to the con-
sumner.
The greater returns to the producer
under such an agreement, he pointed
out, would come from increased econo-
mics in the marketing Of their product,
and would not rest as q burden upon
the ultimate consumer.
Mr.. williams was unable to say
whether q marketing organization such
as contemplated by the board could be
organized to function for this years
crop. Much OF the crop from the
Southwestern grain-growing States, he
pointed out, already has moved to mar
ket. and the harvest rapidly Is ap-
preaching the Northern States.
He also stressed that the benefits of
the new marketing plan would not
be confined to members of co-opera-
tive agencies alone, but that the in
dividual farmer would benefit from the
sterilization of prices which would re-
suit from an orderly marketing plan
upon the part Of the corporation.
