Andrew Furuseth is the president
of the Seamen's Union. / never met
him personally or at any meeting, IN
fact he is not to be met on the
waterfront. The nearest l ever got
to him was during a convention OF
the A. F. of L. held in Los Angeles
while the other delegates were
painting the town red-no, I don't
mean the kind of red that stands for
the working class,-I mean, wine,
women and song.
So while the misleaders of labor
were indulging in their favorite
sport, Andrew, who has passed that
age, took a notion to come down
to San Pedro, which is the port Of
Los Angeles, for the purpose, as he
would put it, of meeting the boys
and reviving their dead hopes"
Of course the real purpose was to
further insure his position as mis-
leader of the seamen. 1t was one
of those goodwill" visits of which
we hear SO much about in this epoch
of speed-up, long hours and starva-
ton wages.
T. I, ship I was shaving on arrived
two days after Andrews visit. The
San Pedro waterfront was in tur-
MOL. The corner of Sixth and Dea-
con was a. open Z rum.
Every seaman / met had some
thing to say about Andrew and the
'sFink Hail. Andy was going to
do AWAY with the Fink Hall. One
shipn.ate Of mine whom met said:
.sBoy, you should have been to that
meeting. YOU would have shed tea ),
wkesf he spoke of the old days, the
sailing ship days."
Andy issued pamphlet calling
mon the seamen mot to forget the
ing which had given them three
wstches and other improved condi-
tiiE." want to tell Andy that that
hap in the face still stings. 1t will
not al, so easy to make US turn tne
other cheek in the next war.

watches. Has Andy forgotten the
4eht that we had to put up for the

EARLY TASTE OF
AUTO SLAVERY
FOR CHILDREN
Get 25 Cents an Hour

(Bg a Worker Correspondent

(Bg a Worker Correspondent
DETROIT, (By MaiD.-The con-
ditions of the young workers in the
L. A. Young Spring and Wire Com
pany, which is a part of the auto
industry are unbearable. l went
down to ask for a job in this par
ticular factory and the boss in the
office told me to come to work the
following morning at seven O'Clock.
7 came and found about 35 other
girls also waiting. We also found
abort 500 men waiting outside in the
cold.
After a while the boss decided
that he did not need any girls that
day. He picked few Is and 16 year
old boys from the army of unemploy-
ed men waiting at the gate. They
were hired at the rate of 25 cents
per hour. In the factory they work
from 10 to II hours a day. Under
the filthiest and unsanitary condi-
tions existing in these factories
where the youth work in Detroit.
The factory employees about SO per
cent young workers from ID to 20
years of age.
AS l was standing there made
the acquaintance of one of these
workers. He was Is years old and
had just gotten his working papers
from the boss controlled Board of
Education. He happened to be one
of the lucky" ones that was hired.
He said his father who had been
working at Ford's for period of
) years was dismissed and young
workers put in the older mems
places. He being the oldest of 6
children had to support the family
with Is dollars a week.
All young workers in the automo-
biles factories especially those work
ing in such plants like L. A. Young,
Briggs, Fords, ETC., work under the
worst conditions. Young workers
must organize together with the
other workers to fight the bosses in
order to get better conditions. Join
the Young Workers Communist
League and fight against these mis-
cradle conditions and for the organi-
cation of the working youth.

LAUNDRY SLAVES
ARE OVERCOME BY
POISON CHLORINE
Misleaders Keep Ne
groes Out of Unions
by a Worker Correspondent

/ ADg " " OffhSf wv fSoPNheSfes/
WASHINGTON, D. c., (By MaiD
Escaping fumes of deadly chlorine
gas from a faulty cylinder in the
Tolman Laundry at Sixth and c
Streets recently overcame a large
number of the slaves as the gas
spread thru the building after the
safety valve blew off the 200 pound
storage tank. More than zoe slaves,
mostly Negro workers, men and wo-
men, slave in this laundry for star
walton wages, averaging less than
SIS week, and work more than IL
hours a day, days week. This is
true not only of the Negro slaves
in the Tolman Laundry, but in doz-
ems of laundries in Washington,
where over 1000 Negro workers are
forced to slave more than 81 hours
week, for wages less than SIS a
week. Most of these laundry slaves
are Negro women. Of the workers
overcome in the Tolman Laundry,
100 were Negroes.
The escaping gas, due to the
faulty equipment supplied by the
bosses, is serious danger to the
many hundreds of low-paid laundry
slaves. The chlorine gas is used in
the laundries for bleaching purposes.
Several of the Negro workers are
still in hospitals, and were made
very seriously ill. There is no trace
of any union for the laundry workers
in Washington. Even if the white,
reactionary labor takers wanted to
organize the laundry workers, which
they do not, for these reactionary
officials, many of whom are men,
bers of the Ku Klux Khan openly,
would refuse to allow the Negro
workers, who are the worst exploit
ed of the southern laundry workers,
join the union. These misleaders are
always coming out in the capitalist
press of the south with attacks on
the Negro workers, calling them
"scabs," when as matter of fact
no worker is more willing to join a
fighting union than the exploited
Negro worker. The Negro workers
of the south will come to realize that
the Workers (Communist) Party is
the only Party that fights for all
workers, regardless Of race.

Andrew Furuseth is known in the

WHAT HAS HAPPENED BEFORE


Count Krasnofski, a wealthy
Ukrainian landowner flees before
the Red Army in 1918. He buries
the family treasure and leaves his
caretaker, Anton, in charge. The
counts fifteen-year-old son gets
lost at the station and comes back
to the mansion just before the ar
rival of the Red troops. Anton
hides him in the attic as the SOL
diers bivouac for the night. The
story now continues:
PART III.
Up in the attic the counts son Pau
covered in fear. He did not know
what the Red soldiers would do tc
him if they found him but he was
in the grip of a formless fear. He
glued his ear to the keyhole in the
door and listened to sounds of the
soldiers down in the rooms below
He heard Anton talking to his son
Audrey, the commander of the Red
squadron.
AS Anton started to walk up the
narrow winding stairs leading to the
attic, Audrey stopped him.
Are you still living up there in
that miserable attic, father"
at was not too miserable for you
to be born in" the old man answer
ed. "You don't remember your lowly
beginnings do you, Mr.. High and
Mighty Commissar
Audrey smiled. His father stood
on the stairway blocking his way.
He felt sudden wave of love for
this, his own son. How fine he look
ed in his neat uniform. With what
soldierly abandon he carried his COM
mander's sword at his side!
And then fear for the boy
Paul overcame him. He had heard
of these Bolsheviks before. He knew
that if Paul were found all the en-.
treaties of father would not deter
them from carrying out their duty
to their accursed revolution.
Audrey took step forward.
"Come, father" he said, '1et US
go upstairs and talk. Here there is
too much noise and confusion"
His father was terrified.
"Please, son-no, not tonight.
And then with show Of dignity
aren't you satisfied with what you
have taken for yourself. Let me be
Do you want to drive me out, too?'
His son walked away.
Audrey posted the sentries at al
approaches leading to the Krasnof
ski mansion. Over the massive iror
gate he hung the red flag and went
back to the house.
When he came back into the house
the soldiers were lying asleep
sprawling here and there. He yawn

his wrist, will probably start ut left
