YELLOW DOG IN
HOTELS OF OHIO

CLEVELAND, Ohio, July 90
Five hundred dining room and kit
chen workers in Cleveland hotels
were locked out when they 'efused
to sign individual yellow-dog con-
tracts demanded by the managers.
Taking advantage of the serious
unemployment situation in hotel
work, the organized hotel owners
decided recently to operate on an
open-shop basis. AS sop to work
ers they promised not to cut wages
if unionists would abandon their or
ganization, sign the yellow dogs and
work hard.
Due to the lockout several hotel
dining rooms were closed. In other
hotels, bellhops, porters and office
workers were pressed into service.
Scabs are being imported from other
cities. The lockout has caused Sc

Dear Comrades:-
am a logger and things are
pretty tough for the workers out
here now. Fifty per cent of all the
logging camps and sawmills in the
Northwest are shut down. Those
that are running have cut down
wages from 10 to 25 per cent and
some have introduced the 10-hour
day. The speed-up is worse than
ever. In Seattle and Portland the
skid road is crowded with unem-
ployed.
The Trade Union Unity League
and the Communist Party headquar-
tiers are in Seattle and we are
strongest there, although we have
to contend with constant police ter
ror. In Portland we are weaker,
largely due to lack of good speak
ers. We are growing stronger,
though.

IT'S long step from being janitor
of small town post Office to the
presidency of a $156OOO,OOO corpora
ton, but @. M. Fuller did 1t because
he is an individualist.
Inspired by lecture in his youth
to be different, he has carried out the
thought even in the building of serv-
Ice stations for the company of which
he is now president, the Richfield OIL
Company of California.
When but twelve years old, he was
taken by his father to hear lecture
entitled "Acres of Diamonds" given
by Rev. Russell Conway at Bakers
field, California. The thought behind
the talk was that If man was indi-
vidual; was unwilling to follow In the
footsteps of the throng, he would see
that real opportunity lay at his feet
If he could but find that endeavor In
life for which he were best suited.
The boy was SO impressed that dur
ing the school years that followed, in
stead of playing during summer vaca-
lions as did other children, he worked
at as many trades and professions as
possible.
At the age Of twenty-one, following
this procedure Of learning something
Of baking, banking, farming, meat
packing, real estate selling and news

Ter found himself in the oil game.
Twenty years have interviewed, and
at forty-one he heads one of Americas
major petroleum corporations, the
youngest man from purely age
standpoint to have ever risen to the
presidency Of an oil company of such
size. And as to his standing in the
industry, he has just been reelected
as q director Of the American Petro-
leum Institute.
ALI through these years his craving
and hobby was to build beautiful
buildings that would be different. The
Richfield organization gave him this
opportunity in its service stations.
In Los Angeles, the company has just
completed Its own Office building. In
stead of the usual type of steel and
brick structure, it has been .encased
In black and gold tile, making it the
outstanding structure Of the Pacific
Coast. On top is an aerial beacon that
can be seen for miles. The idea Of
using such combination came from
Fuller, the individualist.
BE different. Offer better serv-
ice to the public. Make them remem-
Der you but not with loud words or
actions. Know as much as possible
about the other mans business SO that
you can talk to him intelligently."
These are some Of his axtoms.
