OFFER OPEN SHOP
AS INCENTIVE TO
GET UNEMPLOYED
Women Bench Hands
At 20 Cents Hour

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, April 90
With a population of approximately
10000 from which to recruit the
humblest laborer or the skilled
mechanic at scab wages for open
shop jobs, the local Chamber of
Commerce is seeking to consolidate
its supply of cheap labor by i'm
portation.
Open Shop Town.
Bridgeport, an open shop town,
with its diversified industry, offers
exceptional security as to perman-
ence of employment the year round"
it declares in a glowing letter to
charity societies and other New York
organizations from which it hopes to
transfer the city's unemployed. The
iobless then face the prospect
"take the open shop or get off the
list"
Living conditions in Bridgeport
are of an exceptionally fine char
acter,"s the letter tells prospective
candidates for the open shop. Golf
courses, tennis courts, public bath
ing beaches and fine streets" are
given as only some of the attrac-
tions. Naturally, the means where
by the heavy laborer can enjoy such
exclusive privileges at 81 cents an
hour are carefully omitted.
Low Wage Schedule.
"The schedule of wages run S
about 20 per cent below that in the
New York crea for any given CLASH
fication," the letter declares. "But
living costs are so much lower that
the difference in wage scale is more
than compensated for in dollar
value"
1t will be necessary for the appli-
cant to come prepared to pay his
own fare to Bridgeport" it is adj
vised. However, "a return railroad
ticket will be given the applicant"
the booster" graciously continues.
Women Bench Hands-20c an Hour.
A minimum of 35 cents an hour
is offered general factory help that
can read and write English" Dye
makers are offered 60 cents an hour
minimum. Even professionals" are
not exempt from the efficiency
wages, for craftsmen gets mini
mum of so cents an hour. Women
bench hands get 20 cents, toolmakers
so, and first class electrician gets
50 cents. ----------

Gov. Long Laughs at
Senate Graft Charge
Notice; Trial May IA

BATON ROUGE, La, April 30
Formally served today with notice
of the impeachment charges, on
nineteen counts, Gov. Huey P. Long
laughed as he glanced through the
papers which direct him to appear
before the senate at noon on May
IA. The grating governor is appar-
emily confident that unless his po-
litical enemies outmaneuver him, he
will be able to utilize the same legal
machinery which enabled him to d.
rect his widespread campaign of
graft for the purpose of offsetting
the charges.
Long has begun preparations for
his defense. Expert constitutional
lawyers will defend his case, though
it is believed that the real work of
quashing the conviction will be done
as much outside the court house as
inside.
Two thousand dollars is the mod
est sum which the governor is ac-
cused of converting to his own
use." To carry out his schemes it
was necessary for him to organize
system Of newspaper control and
widespread bribery of Legislators.

NEGRO OVERS ARE
MOST EXPLOITED
Baltimore Worker Tells
of Conditions
BY F. BOIJLDJN

BALTIMORE, NJ. D. (By Mail).
Out of the many new industries
in which Negro labor plays an i'm
portant part in Baltimore the clean
ing and dyeing business employs
entirely Negro workers.
There is no other industry in
Baltimore in which Negro labor SO
completely predominates. This is
especially true of pressing. The
wages here are very low and the
speed-up great. They are often
cheated by their employers, who
often only yesterday were workers
themselves. Negro pressers must
always draw money from day to
day to subsist, for their wages are
too small to tide them over the
week.
Negro workers in general need
organization, and a Pressers Union
IN the Cleaners and Dyers Union in
particular would help them.
Our employers are constantly en-
ploying new help for lower pay, due
to our competition for the jobs. We
are constantly getting less and less
money. We must unite and fight
rotten conditions in the shops. 1t
is true that the A. F. of L. never
gave us a chance to organize in
their union. They practiced Jim
Crowism against US. There is only
one movement where we are re-
ceived with open arms in great num-
bers as equal members of the work
ing class, the movement built and
developed by the Communist Party

The hurdye Is of thousands of
American workers who on Wednes-
day will { a tools and demonstrate
their revolutionary solidarity with
the workers of the rest of the world
can look back upon decades Of mill
tant demonstrations Some of those
of the past Is years have been re-
viewed recently in the Daily Work
er, and today we summarize very
briefly the last five years.
May Day in 1924 saw thousands
of Filipino sugar plantation labor
ers on strike, a strike of oil work
ers in Tampico, Mexico, and gen
eral strike throughout Argentina,
with all workers organizations from
anarchist to Communist participat-
ing.
In Germany the workers who were
forbidden to demonstrate, battled
the police, rallying to the Commu-
mist Party election demonstrations,
and few days later, the Party
polled a million votes.
In Tokyo 10000 workers demon
strated and many were arrested. In
Osaka, a like number paraded and
many in Kyoto. In Moscow, hun
dreds of thousands demonstrated at
the tomb of Lenin, who had died in
January Of that year.
Huge Chicago Strike.
In Chicago, 100000 workers
struck, including 10000 mems cloth
ing workers, thousands of food,
building and other workers. The
Pullman shops were struck, with
the strike gaining momentum daily.
May Day in 1925 was one of mill
tant mass demonstrations through
out the world, with frequent clashes
with the police. In London, Rome,
Berlin, Copenhagen, there were huge
demonstrations, at which many
workers were arrested.
Raided Party Headquarters.
In America the Workers Party
headquarters were raided and men,
bers thrown out, their literature
burned, and great hysteria evidenced
by the police. In New York, great
demonstration was held, and a num-
Der of Party members arrested for
distributing literature.
In 1926, May Day found the great
British coal strike under way, fol-
lowed by the general strike of four
million workers in sympathy with
the miners. In Warsaw, there were
great demonstrations, with clashes
between the Communists and the
traitorous socialists. Paris saw
large demonstrations, with 10000

WI R. CHILDREN
| SHOW up HOOVER
Denounce Fake Child
Health Day on May l

The Children's Section of the
Workers International Relief, has
issued the following May Day call
in answer to the hypocritical Child
Health Day which Hoover is trying
to get the workers to celebrate on
May Day:
President Hoover has declared
the First of May a "Children's
Health Day." What does it mean
to the workers children? Does
this mean that President Hoover
will send relief to the strikers
children in the South? Does this
mean that kitchens will be opened
for the millions of children of the
four million unemployed workers
in this country? Does this mean
that the three and one-half mil
lion children who are shaving in
the factories, mines and on the
farms will be sent back to school,
or that their parents will get more
pay so that their children won't
have to leave school?
Charity For Slaves.
No, it means nothing of that
sort. 1t means that few ladies
will donate a few dollars for char
ity institutions, where the children
of the poor are taught to hate
their own class, the working class,
and where they are being brought
up to be scabs, slaves for the
bosses, and soldiers for the bosses
wars.
Do we, the children of the work.
ers, want charity? No. We want
workers solidarity. We say,
EVERY workers child, for the
working class" We say, "May
Day a solidarity day of all work
ers' children in this country"
How can we help these children
Of the strikers, the children Of
the unemployed workers? We can
help them by organization. We
must organize strong children's
sections of the W.I.R. to gather
relief, to sell meal tickets, to fight
child labor, to organize tag days,
to run affairs for the purpose of
helping all strikers children and
the children of the unemployed
workers.
Day of Solidarity.
We must build workers camps
for workers children-where thou
sands of children of the workers
will improve their health and
where they will learn the spirit of
workers solidarity. We say:
Join the Workers International
Relief scout groups.
Every workers child for the
working class.
We do not want charity, we
want workers solidarity.
Solidarity of the working class
children will strengthen, will en-
courage, will help the entire work
ing class.
Workers, stand by your chill
dren. Workers children, stand by
your class.
Act for the health, the power,
the liberation of all workers chill
dren and the entire working class.

Britten Gives Game Away.

WASHINGTON, April 29.-Repre-
sentative Britten of the house naval
affairs committee issued statement
today objectilg to Gibson's agree
ment not to cut army reserves. Brit
ten is in favor of bigger navy, and
against the large armies of some
of the rivals of U. S. Imperialism.
"This is the second time within
ten days that Gibson has played
directly into the hands of British and
French diplomacy. The first was
his proposal to accept the British
category theory for measuring the
naval strength of the five leading
powers instead of by Global tonnage
as was the case in the Washington
conference" Britten said.
"Both Of Gibson's proposals
should be very effective in the COM
ing British elections although
neither has the slightest chance of
acceptance by the League of Nations
disarmament preparatory commits
sion for many years to come, if at
all.
at must not be forgotten that the
secret Anglo-French treaty of 1928,
which created a storm Of disapproval
throughout America and England be-
cause it was inimical to the best in
terests of the United States, con-
tanned the very clause now being
sponsored by the American ambas-
sador."

the workers by making the rent
laws, which had been forced by the
pressure of the masses, practically
ineffective for the masses in order
to arrive at a compromise with the
christian socialists and the fascist.
He evidently knows nothing, or pre-
tends to, of the housing develop
ments for workers n the Soviet
Union.
He then proceeded to picture a
state of comfort similar to that
under which the workers of Vienna
suffer, if the socialists should be
elected in the municipal elections in
the fall. "Then we will be able to
pass laws and bring about housing
condition such as prevails in Wen
na," declared Feigenbaum.
Norman Objects.
These expectations proved to be
too much for Norman Thomas, So
cialist presidential candidate in the
last general elections, who arose to
take the floor after the chairman
announced that a great surprise
awaited the audience. Thomas was
not scheduled to speak, but he would
suffer no illusions to remain in the
minds of the audience.
II find that / must disagree with
Bill Feigenbaum," declared Norman
in his real school-teacher fashion.
s'Even if we were elected in New
York City we could not do what they
did in Vienna because the constitu-
ton here is too strict and it would
be hard to get our laws passed.
Again / must ask the lawyers to
check me up on that. Isn't that
right Louis?"
A Snug HypOcrite.
Louis Waldman, who in a speech
at the previous session had boosted
that he was better corporation
lawyer now than he was five years
ago, showed that he did not even
have confidence in the reformist
program of the socialists, and fully
demonstrated his SNUG hypocricy.

Come out of the kitchen,
Come into the sun;
The old day is over,
The new has begun.
Too long have you shaved,
Too long bowed your head.
Now cast off your chains,
The old order is dead.
Lift up your head,
Look the world in the eye.
Fall into the ranks,
AS the workers march by.
March shoulder to shoulder,
With the numberless throng;
Take your place with the others
By whose side you belong.
March shoulder to shoulder.
An army firm and true,
You fighting for the others
As the others fight for you.
March on, March on,
Along labor's great way.
March on, March on,
On this your first May Day.
Let your march step echo
It's way around the world,
And let the whole world see
Another labor flag unfurled.

On this your first May Day.
The workers await your coming,
They'll help you on your way.
