Let Worker Veteran Face
Fascist Veteran at Next
May | Demonstration
Socialist Veterans of Foreign Wars, Czarist

against the Communists with "rif-
les and bayonets" proved a miser-
abel fiasco.
Weak as was May Days mobili-
cation, Sunday, May 4th saw 10 fas-
cist organizations assembled before
Grants tomb, including boy scouts,
the Jamaica naval reserve and all of
the foreign veterans organizations
available. ..--
Loud is their boast of citizenship,
even while they assembled the
hodgepodge of Czarist wardom and
the ragtag of imperialist slums,
Sundays mobilization marks the
next step after May 1st-the ANAL
gamation of the different fascist
societies to carry out the threat of
Major Curtis when he announced that
the fascist would demonstrate
against the workers again next May
in Honor of Admiral Dewey"
There were five million American
soldiers in the last war. There are
less than one million of them in the
fascist veterans organizations to-
day, and these are mostly officers,
non-coms, homeguards and similar
punks.
The other four millions, the great
mass of worker-soldiers refuse to
have anything to do with these fas-
cisti. They want a working class
veterans organization and they
should have it.
Next May Day veterans should
face veterans. There is no question
of the outcome when heroic work
ers, armed with the strength of rev.
dictionary RESPONSIVENESS, face
degenerated imperialism.

A WOMAN TOILER TELLS
OF SLAVERY AT BRIGGS

If you are a woman you will
surely understand what it means to
work in the factory and keep house,
l have been working, even when my
husband had job, in order to make
ends meet. Now he is out of work
since last October, and don't ask
how we get along on my miserable
earnings.
l am employed at the Briggs fac
tory in Detroit, Mich. | work on a
machine, sewing seat and cushion
covers. We used to work ten hours
a day. Then the bosses cut the day
to eight hours and we had to pro-
duce just as much work as in ten
to keep up our few cents. Lately
we had been cut at different times
to as low as five and six hours, and
still produce more work than for
merly.
Where is the speed-up leading us =?
We have already seen that we
earn no more than the bosses want
us to. They have shown us by cut
ting prices and cutting hours, and
we have responded by speeding up
with every ounce of energy. The
result has been that we earn not one
cent more, and our lives are being
sucked right out of US.
Yesterday one of the women,
overcome by the terrific speed-up,
caught her finger under the needle.
The fingertip was split in two, but
she evidently could not afford to
go home, for, after having her finger
bandaged, she returned to her ma
chine and remained until quitting
time.
The bosses are so greedy, that,

not satisfied with getting the last
penny's worth of work out of us,
they give us dirty machines to work
on. They will not spend the money
to hire a man to clean them. The
foreman gave us strict orders to
oil the machines every hour. AS the
machines are so dirty the oil leaks
right out, getting all over our
clothes, even to our stockings and
underclothes. Any woman knows
what oil does to clothes! When we
complained to him, the forenan's
reply was: 81 can't help it. We
haven't any men to clean the ma
chimes" But this did noC stop the
machine from leaking. We are not
even allowed rag to wipe the ma
chimes.
While the bosses cannot be both
cred with accidents resulting from
speed-up, OF ruined clothing, they
find plenty of time to worry about
the morals of their workers. Dur
ing the cold weather, we froze. Dur
ing the warm spell, naturally, we
roasted. Many of the women, in
an effort to make themselves more
comfortable, came to work ia sleeve
less dresses. This evidently en-
barrassed the officials so much that
a few DAYS later q DoliceWOnan
came to the factory to speak 70 US
about the indecency of such cx-
posture. The next day the matroH
called up those in sleeveless dresses
and made them cover their indie
cency with dusty smocks which were
on hand. And so, covered with
dust and plenty of sweat,
we went on with our work.

This Guy De1Vey

If you don't know it, we'll tell
you that an American is financial
adviser" to the fascist Polish gov
eminent, to see that it prepares
properly the war against the Soviet
Union. The guys name is Dewey,
and he was formerly an under
secretary to Andy Mellon. But he
fell upon evil ways recently when
he visited Rumania, to fix up the
Rumanian front against Bolshevism.
With the Rumanian minister to the
United States he was joy-riding
around Bucharest a few miles out
of the city, when bandits who were
well-dressed" plunged them for a
pile of kaIe, Dewey losing $4,000.
While it is automatic that the most
efficient bandits are always 'waAs-
dressed" indeed, we might say that
this same bandit who is plotting
war on the Soviet Union wears the
best--still we cannot feel sorry for
Dewey. Our heart is harder than
Pharoah's ever was.

Now, wouldn't that floor you! The

the wet sanders at Fords in Detroit
should use not only sand but "pep."

Something's arrival in the country.
The dope sheets of the capitalist
class are full of "news" in the
building up of the coming Sharkey-
Schmelling fight for a "sell-out".
Schmelling contends that the years
forced rest imposed upon him by the
boxing trust for refusing to box
Phil Scott has done him more good
than harm. Well it may have in
creased his strength but certainly
not his boxing judgment and timing
ability. These qualities can be per-
fected only thru constant competi-
ton in the squared circle.
On the other hand Sharkey has
been fighting right along. 1t is true
polu!as like Phil Scott do not help
one out much but fighting them is
better than punching the bag for a
year. Whoever wins neither will
actually lose. In the older days of

a sport not a trustified business.

named Hunter from John S. ChiSum of New
Mexico The paper failed to mention that the
SO riders were gunner and that they expected
trouble before they got back with the cattle
they were buying.
Chis,m had left behind him in Texas, before
moving to the Pecos, some outlawed notes it
had not been convenient to pay. Hunter bought
these up for about 10 cents on the dollar. After
the deal had been made for the cattle, Hunter
rode in with Chisum to the nearest town and
paid him with his own notes. Before the cat
tIeman of New Mexico could gather his riders
in numbers enough to stop the little army from
Dodge, the forces of Evans were across the line
and in the Panhadle. This was the kind Of
joke that Texans could appreciate. Thousands
of their stock were being run of by ruStlers
into New Mexico and even respectable cattle
man from that Territory was fair game. But 1t
is said that Chisum did not find the transaction
amusing.
THE first humble ranch headquarters in the
Panhandle, either dugouts or adobe, gave
way to commodious frame houses. Barbed-wire
fences began to appear. The end of the open
range, of the free-grass days, was in sight for
the cattlemen.
In the early eighties the Capitol Syndicate
Co. began to build the State House at Austin
in exchange for vast tract of land in the Pam
handle. This acreage bordered on New Mexico
and lay in the tier of counties which ran down
along the western edge of the State-Dallam,
Hartley, Oldham, Deaf Smith, Castro Lamb,
Hockey, Cochran, Farmer and Bailey. 1t had
never been surveyed, but was over 200 miles in
length. Within two three years the syndi-
cate had put up 800 miles of fence.
The first cattle put upon the range of the
