Here is direct amalgamation of
our "leaders" with the bosses. Such
is the program of the American
Federation of Labor. 1t is the ideal
Of the misleaders of labor. This is
their fondest desire, to bring about
an agreement with the bosses, so
that trade union leaders can turn
the trade unions into company
unions and use them as instruments
for the exploitation of the workers.
Altho the interests of the workers
would be sacrificed, the group in

would be saved.
But forces are at work, forces bred
of the treachery of the misleaders

CHICAGO, Aug. 4.-White chau-

Negro workers children, who hap

their proper place is not in these

PHILA. WORKERS
DEFY POLICE TO
AID STRIKERS
Aid for Gastonia Mill
Workers Planned

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Aug. A.
Despite the fact that the Phila-
delphia police invaded and broke up
the International Labor Defense
conference for Gastonia defense and
relief here last Friday, July 26, a
successful conference was held on
Wednesday night following in de-
fiance of the police terror.
Many delegates representing vari-
Gus trade unions, fraternal organiza-
tions, women's clubs, workers clubs,
etc., were present at the conference
and pledged whole-hearted support
and financial aid to the framed-up
strikers of Gastonia.
The first conference which was
held on Friday, July &c, in the Grand
Fraternity Hall in this city was
broken up in the early part of the
meeting when police rushed into the
meeting and placed SIS of the dele
gates under arrest.
The local authorities were forced
to release most of the arrested dele
gates through the mass pressure of
the Philadelphia workers. Tess
Ryder, secretary of the Youth Sec
ton of the LID. and Leo Lemley,
secretary of the Philadelphia Work
ors International Relief, were SEN
fenced to five days in Movemensing
prison for defying the orders of the
police department and holding an
open air meeting without a permit.
A series of other arrests also took
place earlier in the week for the
same reason.
An intensive campaign was ar
ranged to mobilize all Party and
League members and sympathizers
for immediate house-to-house collec-
tions.
A telegram of greetings was sent
to, the arrested comrades by the dele
gates of the conference.
During the conference, Jennie
Cooper, secretary of the local LID,
outlined the defense and relief cam
paign to be carried on for the sup
port Of the Gastonia victims. Over
ence and resolution was adopted
fifty speakers addressed the confer
which reads in part:
"This conference of delegates
from labor unions, shop committees,
workers fraternal organizations and
clubs, etc., condemns and denounces
the brutality of the Philadelphia
police against workers and working
class organizations of which the raid
on our conference last Friday is an
instance.

support to all worker and workers

deserves the support Of every self

PUSH YOUTH IN
PACKING HOUSES
TO The UTMOST
Promised Rewards"
Never Get Increase
(By a Worker Correspondent

by a Worker Correspondent
DENVER, Colo. (By MaiD.-Re-
Gently the Denver Post printed a
glowing account of the many advan-
tages to be derived from attending
the Citizens Military Training
Camps. The outstanding feature
was, that the officers would assist
those attending the camp in secIf-
ing jobs.
Let us look about a little and see
what some of the youth are offered
in the line of jobs, especially in the
packing houses of Denver.
In one clearinghouse here several
boys of about Is or 16 years of age
are doing the work of men and are
receiving about two-thirds the pay
that an adult worker would receive
for the same work.
One of the boys asked the foreman
to increase his pay as he was doing
the work that man did. The fore
man laughed long and loudly. Then
he said, 'Pay boy a mans wages :?
He'll no. We never pay a boy a
mans wages, no matter how much
work he does"
The foreman seemed to express
the general attitude of the bosses
and straw-bosses toward the young
workers in the Denver packing
plants. There is a general tendency
of sub-foremen to give the nasty and
disagreeable jobs to the boys as they
are inexperienced in evading I'M
pleasant jobs. The subforemen do
everything possible to speed up the
boys and they try to create a spirit
of rivalry and publicly commend the
boy who does the most work. This
is one of the schemes to get the most
work out of the boys.
If the industrious boy asks for
an increase in pay he is informed
that he is "mercenary" and does not
have the interest of the company at
heart. 1t is explained to him that
merit and industry are rewarded in
many ways other than by an in
crease in wages. Just what the re-
wards are no one seems to know,
possibly they are given out by Saint
Peter.
There is no union in the packing
houses. But n ~ of the workers are
anxious to see a militant union.

SLAVE AS LONG

ON IRON RANGE
No Scale System Is in

HIBBING, MINI. (By MaiD.-The
conditions of the iron ore miners on
the iron range are becoming intoler-
able. In most cases in the mines
the men are made to work from 10
to 10 hours a day-the 10 hour day
is a usual practice. The wages are
S4.20. The stool-pigeon system is
more developed than ever before and
puts the miners in a stage of ter
rorism and persecution. In this work
the mining companies get the full
cooperation of the church.
Miners who do not pay the heavy
taxes imposed upon them by the
preachers and the priests are i'm
mediately reported to the company
and for this crime miners are pun
ished with a three-day lay off or
three weeks. In many cases miners
are forced under threat of losing
their jobs to go out on Sundays and
collect money for the priests.
LOCALIZED Robbery.
In the South Agnew mine in Car
son Lake for instance miners are
forced to buy raincoats and other
necessary clothes from the company
at their own expense, amounting to
$40; again, in other cases the men
getting the job spend the money for
clothes and are fired within e two
days. Because of the water, running
from the top and bottom the clothes
do not last for more than twenty
days and they have to spend $50
again.
Open Thievery.
The miners in most mines work
piece work, receiving $1.10 per car
load of iron ore. A car load is sup
posed to hold 80 to 4 tons, these
I are the so-called Wilson cars" but
the mining companies use instead
the democratic cars" which hold at
least tons, and yet the miners re-
ceive the same S1.10 per car.
There is no scale system which
would show exactly how much the
miners are robbed every day by the
steel companies. Another system
used by the capitalist is the "dock-
ingmen." If any miner is caught
washing his hands, or taking his
overalls off a few minutes before
quitting time, the miner is locked
from a quarter to half shift, it all
depends upon the way the foreman
feels about it.
Miners Begin to Revolt.
Militant miners throughout the
range are beginning to revolt
against these rotten conditions. They
are looking forward to militant
leadership and organization. The 7.
U. E. L. mine committee formed re-
Gently in many important mines is
proof of the fact that the period of
pessimism is over and that the iron
ore miners, the same as the workers
throughout the country are prepar-
ing for new struggles, under the
guidance of the militant leadership
of the Trade Union Educational
League and the new National Miners
Union.

a suicide, fell eleven stories to the
pavement early one morning after

said. The first the hosts knew Of

Witnesses previously had testi-
fled that Mrs. Inman used intoxi-
cants excessively and that certain
men yer unduly attentive to her.

MEXICANS CALL
VEHICLE STRIKE
Matamoros And Nuevo La
redo Car Owners Pro-
test Tax Advance

A strike of all vehicles of trans
port in Matamoros, including SER
vice cars, privately owned auto
mobiles, buses, water-carrier carts,
dairy wagons, etc., will be called
Sunday night at midnight with
practically certain simultaneous
action of an even stronger nature
from Nuevo Laredo, according to
Sr. Roberto Gonzales, president OF
the Matamoros Chauffeurs' Union,
after q meeting of the union at IL
g.. m. Saturday in which emphatic
protest was made condemning the
new state law of Tamaulipas re-
garding increasing taxes on all
vehicles.
The strike will go into effect at
midnight unless action Of some
kind by Governor Castellanos Of
Tamaulipas is taken in the matter,
or unless some answer pointing to
a favorable solution Of the matter
is received from the state govern
ment at Victoria, which has been
advised of the intended strike by a
telegram sent Saturday by the
president of the Union of Chauf-
feurs of Matamoros. The answer,
if it is forthcoming, will probably
come from the state secretary at
Victoria, as Governor Castellanos
is in Mexico City.
The strike action apparently has
the support Of approximately 100
members Of the Matamoros Chauf-
feurS' Union, twice that number Of
owners of private automobiles, the
chauffeurS and automobile owners
of NueVo Laredo, and the dairy
men and water carriers of both
Matamoros and Nuevo Laredo, all
Of whom are effected by the new
tax regulations.
According to the new law, the
annual tax on privately owned
automobiles is changed from about
% pesos to about so pesos, and the
annual tax On service ears from
about SO pesos to about go pesos.
The annual license fee is changed
from n peso, fifty c~entavos, to
four pesos.
The Tamaulipas governments
claim is that the money received
from the increase in taxes is for
the purpose Of helping to build
the Matamoros- Victoria highway
planned some time ago. The auto
mobile drivers argument is that
times are very hard, and that the
state government has erred in hav-
ing failed to reconsider the carry
ing Of these taxes after this had
been unofficially promised since
two months ago.
