PORTSMOUTH. Va (By MaiD.-
Conditions in Collcnna Shipyard are
bad. Hard to get steady work.
Men will hang around for boat
to come in every day, which the
boss will tell the men he will expect
one today, one tomorrow, and the
same old story every day.
Seventy-five to 100 would be put
to work to paint and scrape these
bt;.ts in case any comes and WHICH
is finished in less than day
The workers here are averaging
from s1.50 to SO a week and most
time he will not get one week in a
piohth.
Some Of the ships on the way to
lie worked on are low and the men
viii have to get on their backs to
scrape and paint the bottoms, which
three men will get four or five
hours at the most, often less.
Ships would como in to have their
cilbarners to be cleaned out, which
is a nasty job. Some of the men in
the hold Of the ship will put the oil
in the buckets and the men on top
will haul it up which the men have
Gil on them from head to foot.
These workers who paint get 80
cents an hour. cleaning oil burners,
SIS cents. helpers AZ cents an hour.
Men with trades will get rs cents
an hour.
Starvation wages for the men who
work in this shipyard. The only
way the shipyard workers will be
able to get seven hours a day, sani-
tarv conditions and minimum wages
of $50 a week is by organizing into,
a real union under the leadership
Of the Trade Union Unity League.

More Truth Than Poetry!

rom the Edison Dynamo shop paper issued by group of
Communists in the Edison shops of New York;
The boss is great big hearted
He's democrat and republican;
He's the boy who the political crew.
He runs the socialist party too;
Money talks in this land of the free,
That's why Congress cary hear me;
Who is listened to? Who is heard?
The boss money has the Lest word.
When there's strike he wants to stop
He calls in the soldier and the cop;
The boss buys up political brains
To keep the workingmen in chains
SO what going to do about it?
Reveal the truth, tell it, shout it!
The worker must learn to break his chains,
The worker must have political brains;

out with the few dollars that we
get each week so at dinner time we

then went quickly to the spot and
arrested those who refused to move
along.
Only 100 officers were working in

DROP IN CRUDE OIL
PRODUCTION SHOWN
California Leads in CUTTING
Down Output, Says
Trade Journal.
ny the Associated Press.

ny Jhe Associated Press,
TULSA, Okla, December 30.-With
California leading the way. daily av-
erage crude oil production in the
United States tumbled sharply last
week. A decline of 5S,6s7 barrels car
ried the output to 2,144, 074 barrels,
the lowest since the week ended August
l, 1926, says the Oil and Gas Journals
report.
1t was the greatest shift in the
country's production in many months.
Application of a new proration pro-
gram in California was largely ac-
countable for drop of $500 barrels
IN that States yield, which totaled
566,250 barrels.
Another big drop was registered in
the Texas Panhandle, where produc-
ton was 56,475 barrels, down 1850
barrels. The entire Midcontinent area
showed decrease of 1920 barrels,
with total output, including both
light and heavy gravity oils of 1,095,475
barrels. Oklahoma production was
457,765 barrels, decrease of Alas
barrels; Kansas produced 108,520 bar
relS, an increase of 5,475 barrels.
Eastern production was 10000 bar
rels, drop of 1000 barrels, and the
Rocky Mountain area had decline of
2,186 barrels with an output of 100,024
barrels.
Every California area showed a loss,
the largest being 17,500-barrel decrease
in the Santa F'e Springs district.

CURB SHARES GAIN
IN BIGGER MARKET
Volume Increases as Majority
of List Heads Up
ward.
BY JOHN A. CRONE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 30.-On vol
ume somewhat above that of Monday
today'S Curb Market advanced irreg-
ularly. Much of the heavy load Of tax
selling seemed to have been lifted and
while in few cases issues touched new
lows, the majority of the list advanced.
There was no great amount of spec
ulative interest and this accounted for
the soft spots where selling persisted.
Some of the buying was attributable to
short covering in advance of the holi-
days and to dealers purchases for jan
uary reinvestment demand. Money at
the curb post renewed at Az per cent
compared with per cent on Monday.
After an irregular opening trading
became dull, and it was midday before
this period of lethargy was passed
Then active issues like Electric Bond g.
Share, Gulf Oil of Pennsylvania, United
Light & Power A and Vacuum Oil can
celed their earlier losses and went to
small net gains on the day.
