The hangman was the notorious

Many photographs were taken of
the barbarous methods of The Au-

succeeding, the opposite occurred.
Then the continuous executions, the
barbarous methods of binding the
soldier before the trenches, making
them targets for the enemy, the
hunger, the terror in general,
brought the masses of the army

was in 1914 the socialist deputy of
the city of Trento in the Austrian
parliament. With the outbreak of
the war, like man of the socialist
leaders of the Second International,
he became national chauvinist.
He went to Italy and with his prop

national chauvinism, to his betrayal
of Socialism, he went voluntarily to

south of Berlin over 1000 workers
demonstrated in the streets. In
Augsburg, Comrade Remmele spoke
to an enthusiastic mass meeting. In
Essen another meeting was required
to accommodate over 1000 workers
unable to obtain entrance to the
hall where Comrade Florin was
speaking.
Comrade Remmele spoke at an
overfilled mass meeting called by
the Communist Party in the largest
hall in Mannheim. The leader of
the Mannheim national socialist, the
Diet Deputy LEM, who was present
during the address, left the hall be-
fore the discussion. Comrade
Remmele had dealt in an annihilat-

aroused much indignation among
the many national socialists pres
ent.
Comrade Remmele was received on
his arrival by a demonstration pro-

Rotten Conditions
Buffalo, N. Y.

Buffalo, N. I,
Daily WORKER
Rotten! does not describe the
workers conditions in the plant
where I work, but it seems better
than any word | can think of at the
present time. Yes, it is worse than
rotten when men have to work from
6 a. m. till $50 and even 7 p. M,
with only half an hour for lunch
and at breakneck speed, without
even time to get drink of water,
without getting behind in whatever
work he might be doing, and then
get paid S12, S14 or $16 for 4-day
week.
Long Hours.
Rotten doesn't begin to describe
it, when a man after working under
such conditions and long hours can't
tell you how much money he has
made when quitting time comes,
and on pay day, if he asks his fore
man concerning his small pay, the
foreman just puts on one of his
dignified looks and says, "Pll see
about it," and that's the last of it.
Gas Turned Off.
Who is there that will say mere
rottenness (ten times worse than
lotten) when three men are doing
the work of five for 80 per cent less
than the pay for three men, which
they are forced to do. At the same
time their families are suffering,
their children cannot get the proper
food and clothing, while the land
lords and collectors are pounding on
their doors daily, Their gas has
been cut off and they are burning
oil lamps n the city because they
can't pay their bills, after working
from morning to night at a break
neek and killing speed.
Some say call on charity. No
able-bodied, self-respecting man
wants charity, but wants only his
own, that is, work at reasonable
hours, at living and saving wages.
The only way to get to it is by the
workers organizing into a revolu-
tiorary union and fight for their
rights.
