Your
CHEAPEST
NECESSITY.

NOuR FIRE insurance dollar pays for
I indemnity-for immunity against f.
n~dncl1l loss when calamity ovetakes
you. But that dollar buys 50 much more
than the indemnify it pays for that it
ranks as one Of the most effective dollars
you spend.
Fire insurance, from the indemnity
standpoint alone, is one Of the cheapest
Of ~present-day necessities. Its cost has
consistently declined for many years
even during the period Of war imitation.
And this in spite Of the fact that insur-
ence services rendered by the more
than $50 Stock companies constituting
the National Board ofFire Underwriters
has multiplied its activities for the
public welfare and greatly enlarged
their scope.

(By a Worker Correspondent


DAYTON, Ohio. - The National
Cash Register Co. of Dayton, known
to the bosses the world over as the
''model' factory, home of welfare"
work, and for dividing its workers
into four classes, according to q
listing of A, B, C and d employees,
has just laid off 1900 employees,
which represent about twenty per
cent of its factory and office force.
Since October 1 these workers have
worked only three and four days a
week, and now they are forced to
swell the ranks of this country's
army of unemployed.
This town, by the way, is also the
home of the city manager, or COM
mission form Of government, foster
ed by the late John H. Patterson,
some seventeen years ago. This
form of government was put over
when the workers became dangerous
to the bosses, by electing two work
ers to the city council.
The workers must organize under
the Trade Union Unity League and
the employed workers of N. c. r.
Co. must cooperate with the unem-
ployed in fighting for work or wages
and against the speed-up.

CHESTER, Pa.-Speaking of

there that most folks think could
happen only in backward coun-

pump moved to the opposite end
of ditch. The mud was SO deep
that neither tractors nor horses
could get across without getting
mired. One of the mucking gangs
was called and rope hitched on
the pump and they dragged it
across the field. This brought TO
my mind the Volga BOatman tug
ging away up the bank under the
fear of the lash. Fifteen minutes
later the pump was moved, and
about 20 workers were wiping
the sweat off their brow waiting
for further orders from the boss.
They get 45 cents for this sort

in all sorts of weather. Sun-Oil
workers organize against this
degrading slavery. Join the Trade

Sun Oil Proves
Jobless, Those at
Work Must JON.
(By a Worker Correspondent

(By a Worker Correspondent
CHESTER, Pa. - Three work
ers were severely burned when
fire broke out in the No. plant
of the Sun Oil Co. at Marcus
Hook on Friday night. (From the
Chester Times, Saturday, Marcel.
l. 193O.)
Plant officials attempted TO
soft pedal the news, and reported
that none were seriously injured.
The workers are at the mercy of
the Sun Oil bosses. When a work
er gets a job here he is asked
to sign away his rights and to
leave his welfare in the hands of
the Sun Mutual Benefit Ass0ci-
alton, who can give a worker
just as little or as much as they
please in case of injury, and get
away with it.
Workers with pangs of hunger
driving them to desperation, sign
up daily. They are sent to work
in oil, mud, and all sorts of dirt
and CRIME.
The other day a heavy rain fell
all day long. The workers were
forced to stay out and work in
the mud. The next day, a few did
not report for work, and when
they did show up they were
frankly told that the Sun Oil Co.
expected men to work every day
if they were asked to, regardless
of the weather.
A husky Negro, tired of being
driven like an animal, replied:
"Say, I'm willing to work when
| can stand up and walk around
on my own feet. But when there
is so much mud that / need help
to get around in and pull out Of
the mud, then I'm leaving. Is IL
any better out there today? II
expect you'd better give me my
time right away, now"

will get somebody to take your
place right away"
Here we have evidence to prove
the necessity Of organizing the
unemployed and forcing the boss.
cs to pay wages to all jobless
workers. Then the bosses could
not threaten to fire workers on
the job and these workers could
organize and refuse to work I'M

CLEVELAND, Ohio. - In Cleve-

numbers of women unemployed, as
well as men, this unemployment af-
fects the women much more than it
does the men, first of all we find
that it is the women who suffer, be-
cause there is no food to feed the
children who go hungry. There is no
money to pay the rent. There is no
fuel to keep the fire going, no cloth
ing to put on but the rags that are
worn out and dirty because it costs
money to buy even soap.

spair. No job today, and none to-
morrow. What will become of us?
Time to Think
Women, it is time that we begin
to realize that there must be some
thing done. 1t is time that we began
to get our share out of this world
and time to think. Why, if we keep
on like this, what will happen to US?
What WILL HAPPEN? Are we to
starve and die? Are we to freeze
to death; are we to let our children
die as we are dying right now?
And I have come to the conclusion
that there is only one thing to do,
and that is to join in with the mass
es of other workers, those workers
who we see down at the factory
gates trying to get jobs and they
are as hungry and cold as we are.
There are thousands of women wait
