Small orchestras are considered the
fashionable things in Paris this season.
Night clubs have substituted a pianist
and a drummer in place of the large

that there is a 10 percent reduction

leaving 8 percent reduction in the

(By a Worker Correspondent

MONESSEN, Pa.-The bosses dis
charge any man they hear mention
strikes or unions, in the Pittsburgh
Steel Company.
Most of the young workers work
in a group, and the older workers
work in another section by them
selves. This way the company gets
more work out of the young work
ers than they do out OF the adult
workers, and the young workers are
paid less than the older ones.
From September until March is a
dull season here and when they
start up again in full force in March,
the workers are speeded up to the
limit. We will have to work over
time and Sundays. If you want a
day off you will have to go through
all kinds of red tape to get it. We
have never had any kind of organi-
cation or union in the Pittsburgh

few words about the agricultural
workers of the South. The land
workers of the United States play
an important part in connection with
the struggle of the workers, espe-
cially in the South. In the South,
cotton is produced, which supplies
the United States with cotton cloth
for the market, also in the South
we find vegetable farms where the
workers are compelled to work at
the most terrific speed for $1.00 a
day, and this is no exaggeration, be-
cause l have done this myself.
Of course, if you become good
boy" the bosses give you $3.50 a
day, for which you must work like
hell. You must compete with other
workers and drag the life out OF
yourself and your fellow-workers
The family works all year on the
farm. When gathering time comes,
the bosses have figured out how
much to pay him for what he pro-
duced and that is very much if he
gets enough to pay off what he
owes, but not all.
This is done in order to hold the
farmer on the farms another year
so the bosses can get another year
of profit from the farmers.
When the farm products are gath
cred, the farmers see that they have
nothing and no more credit from
the boss until January 15-the farm
ers are compelled to get jobs around
the small cities until January Is
and then it is time to go back to the
farm. The farmers here made nc
clearance so they got to ship out
to Arizona to pick cotton until farm.

am employed by the Spokane, Port
land and Seattle Railroad Co. as
freight handler around the freight
house. This company is controlled
by the Great Northern Co., but 1t
runs under the above name.
There are about 60 men working
herein the freight house, including
checkers and receivers. And the
only men on the job who can not
give orders to anybody, are the men
who are known as truckers. They
must obey and not talk back to then
"superiors." If they did, they woult
take the risk of going down the
cline" and talking to themselves as
they are told by "superiors." AND
this is so because of lack Of organ
ization.
That is the right kind of organic
ton I am speaking about, not an
organization such as they alreaos
have one here. The majority OF tn
men working here, do belong to a
organization known as the Brothef
hood of Railway and Steamsh--
Clerks, Express and Station Ell
ployees and Freight Handlers. b
due to the fact that this organizatic
is based on class collaboration,
can not represent the interests
the workers, especially those CT tn
most exploited ones.
The railroad companies have Dc
yised all kinds of schemes in ordef
to intensity the exploitation Of the
workers. Under the pretense OF the
competition of the truck lines, which
are operating now all over the coun-
try the railroad companies are now
making part of their slaves go to
work early in the morning, as early
as $3.50 so that they can get certain
freight unloaded, which they call
.'hot" stuff. And, of course these
early crews have Worked 8 hours,
they are not through working for
the day, if there is plenty Of work
to be done. They are held to work
overtime in most cases from to 2
hours every day during the summer
months. While on the other hand,
there are lunches of men who have
been on the job for A or 5 years
and they are sent home just on ac-
count of the early crews working
overtime. This is one OF the
schemes to swell the ranks OF the
unemployed. The railway workers
must organize into an industrial
union, led by the T.U.U.L. to enc
all this. 5. L. >. SLAVE.

spread all over the place.
The speed-up system is becoming
worse day by day. Where there used
to work five men next day you find
out that there are four, and they
got to do the job of the five, and
there is no why, no explanation, no
reason, there is only one thing
fire.
We are compelled to go into the
plant half an hour before the time
to start and prepare everything so
when the bell rings we are already
on the job. During the time we work
we have no time to go to drink
some water or go to the toilet, so at
lunch time we have to wait in line
to use the toilet.
Some time ago | read in the New

want to tell of conditions in Ahmeek
No. 2 mine of the Calumet and Hecla
Copper Mining Co.
There is supposed to be an 8-hour
day, but you actually put in IL
hours a day. To come from home
to the mine, change your clothes,
and then wait for the cage to take
you down the mine, that takes an
hour and a half. And then when
you knock off, you wait for the cage
again, change clothes, ETC., and that
another hour and half.
This extra three hours could he
cut to II hours if the miners were
let down right away, but the bosses
are so greedy to get the copper out
that they make the men wait.
Wages are rotten. The MINER
make $4.40 a day and bonus, on the
contract system. Drill boys get $3.50
day, dirt scrapers, $3.75, truck
gang, 81, timber gang, 81, trammera
Cload cars), Sd, and bonus, according
to amount loaded. A wage slashine
drive is on. The bosses fire men
hire them back at lower wages.
The contract system is way o
making workers speed themselve'
up. It has the effect of making ther
sweat at each other, to make littl
more money. This is one of tt
things the miners will fight to en-.
when the National Miners Unic.
leads them in the fight.
Conditions are bad. On the mort
side water drips down from the roc
all the time. Loose rock is hangin
around and several times the cat
couldn't descent due to loose roc
plugging the shaft. Lack of safe,
devices means workers get hurt We.
often. Many are killed.
There are no wash rooms; y
can't wash your hands to eat ms
decently.

miners in the same union.
