ers bear the brunt of the crisis. I am
a mechanic and when can't get a
job in the factories I have to take
anything.
Twelve Hours a Day
have worked in about fifteen res
taurants during the last year. The
most of the jobs were only for a day
or two, about half a dozen were stea-
dy. But could not stand them more
than couple of weeks due to the
long hours, rotten food, poor ventila-
ton and the extra work on account
of reducing the number of help. In
most of them the kitchen is very
small. They make the dining room
as large as possible. There is always
something cooking on the stove which
fills the kitchen with smoke and
makes the air very warm. Although
they got a fan to draw the smoke out
they are so cheap it is hardly ever
turned on. When you work IL hours
you feel like a wet rag, in the winter
time you catch cold very easily.
Cut Down Crews
About three years ago I worked in
restaurants also and although condi-
tons were pretty bad then they are
twice as bad now. Then they had two
full crews working the two twelve
hour shifts and paid the kitchen help
about So a day or night.
Doubling Up
You work seven days a week in
almost all places. Now where they
keep the full crew they cut the
wages down to 81 and $3.50. The
cooks also got cut SIS and $40 week.
During the last year a lot of them
cut out the night dishwasher and
made the night cook wash the dishes.
The day dishwasher has to mop up
the place, peel potatoes and do other
work that the man that was laid off
did. Also when you start to work in
the morning there is always a pile
of dirty dishes and at night when
there is a big supper you have to
work after Z o'clock which makes
nearly thirteen hours a day.
The last job I had paid $12 for
"a hours and the other dishwasher
got the same. He told me he paid
the job agency S. for it. He said
they wanted So. The same conditions
exist in the factories-long hours and
low wages. And the speed up is so
intense that it is impossible to last
very long.

MOSCOW, Nov. 80. - Under Kry-

unmaking of the capitalist war pre-

Sitnin, technical expert in the tex
tile industry, confirmed the fact that
he visited America and received
brides from cotton merchants for the
purpose of the wreckers' work.
Fyedotov confirmed the statements
regarding payment by British cap
italists to the industrial party" He
stated that from 1925 to 1927 the
commission was one half of one per
cent of the purchase given by the
British textile machinery manufac-
turer. One big order produced a
bride of about $4,000 roubles. He
personally received 5000 to 1000
roubles altogether, not for personal
purposes, but for use in his wrecking
group.
Prevented Returns
When asked for examples of con-
crete wrecking work he said he as
the ideologist of the group was re-
sponsible for the textile group. He
gave orders to build new factories
while neglecting measures to utilize
the existing works. This resulted in
locking up capital on long schemes

SHELL OIL MAKES
BIG PROFITS BY
FIRING WORKERS
Standard Oil Doing the
Same Thing
(By a Worker Correspondents

MARTINEZ, Cal.-Here is a more
complete report on the mass firing
of workers now taking place at the
Shell Refinery.
Eighty-one workers got the gate
the week of October 1926; LOT, the
week of October 27-Nov. 1. Twenty
more were laid off November 6 and
from reliable sources many more are
to go. Over $50 have been fired since
october l. These men are perman-
emily fired under the New Economy
Plan" of the Shell Co, Even the plant
superintendent admits it will be sew
eral months before even few are
taken back
Bigger Surplus
The Shell Co. explained" these
mass lay-offs by saying it "has no
money" In reality, the Shell Co. has
decided to cut the workers off the
payroll as they can increase their
profits in this way. The company
publishes the fact that its net in
come for July to october is over a
million dollars less than for the per-
iod of April to July. But in actuallity
the surplus increased from $24,735, 900
to $25,293, 900 from July to october
and the gross income increased from
SO million dollars to 691a million dol
lars at the same time.
Why does the Shell Co. lie that it
is poorer?
The workers left on the job are
speeded up more. They are all in
immediate danger of being fired or of
getting further setbacks (pay cuts).
The Standard Oil Co. of California
is likewise making more enormous.
profits. At the same time it is slash
ing the workers off the payroll. Near
ly 1900 have been fired at the re-
finery at Richmond, Cal, recently,
and the rest are viciously speeded
up on the three day week. But Stan
dard Oil of California has just de-
clared an extra dividend of 81 per
share!
Think Of it, oil workers. We are
thrown out to starve or be haf-killed
on the job, but the companies grow
richer from our misery. 1t is plain
we must organize and fight.

But Will Fight With
Unemployed Council
(By a Worker Correspondent


PITTSBURGH, Pal am a work
er who worked in the mills for 10
years. I was getting old so the mill
bosses thought that I am too old and
slow to work in the mills and they
think the best job for me is walking
the streets in Pittsburgh looking fer
work.
One day was sitting in the park
and a worker passed me. I said, fell
low worker do you have a cigarette
on you. He looked at me with a sad
face and said the big bosses have my
cigarette and said they are saving
them for me when Hoover's pros
perity comes back.

I told him to sit with me and tell
me how come you don't have a Job.
After he was thru telling me his his
tory he ended up this way. IT lived in
the jungleS for months. The seven
Baker Bros, of Pittsburgh gave us
between 300 and 400 loaves of stale
bread to eat. We all thanked them
very much.
But these last couple of months
they tried to make us workers pay
them cents a loaf of that stale
bread. We all said no money and
they said no bread then and took it
away.
1.-THE Baker Bros. hired myself and
six other workers to work around the
plate, clean the garden and other
different things around the plant.
Our boss comes up to us and says
here is your pay. Just imagine
readers, he got 20 cents for working
hours, cents an hour and we
bought 4 loaves of bread. We asked
him to give us some more bread for
it looked like it was months old"
After he was through talking l saw
he had tears in his eyes and told
him, don't cry and don't try to end
your life. But let's get all the unem-
ployed workers together and get the
Pittsburgh Unemployed Council to
fight for work or wages and unem-
ployment insurance.

ing at time when the intensified
contradictions of capitalism can no
longer be concealed by pacifist
phrases. The danger of new world

prominent bourgeois politicians and
journalists recognized the truth Of
this. The Geneva "peace apostles"
pretend to be in favor of disarma-

ing for new wars, above all for in
tervention against the Soviet Union.
The imperialists we're preparing
war against the Soviet Union. The
old Soviet danger had been re-
hashed in order to deceive the
masses. The date of the interven-

of success of the counter revolution
airy work in the Soviet Union. The
mass of material obtained with the
discovery of the so-called Industry
Party" showed the extent of the
preparations being made by world
imperialism against the Soviet Union.
The material showed that prominent
representatives of imperialist France
had guided the activities of the trait
ors.
French Imperialism was leading the
anti-Soviet preparations. The trait
ors took up relations with French
governmental circles, with the French
General Staff, with the former own
ers in Paris and with the French rep
resentatives in the Soviet Union.
