By ALLAN JOHNSON.

As part of the nationwide drive
against labr unnins instituted by
capitalists in 1920, the Lockwood
Committee was appointed in New
York to investigate racketeering in
the building trades. The commit
tee no more wanted to involve
crooked labor leaders with corrupt
city officials than futile wants to
reveal too much about Tammany to-
day. Every blw at Tammany is a
blow against capitalism, which can
not exist without corruption in gov
eminent, just as every blow against
crooked labor leaders loosens the
moose which capitalists have fas-
tened around the neck of labor with
the AID of labor's misleaders.
But the "59" decided then--they
have become wiser since-to wage
an open fight against some of the
racketeering, despite the danger Of
weakening the faith Of the A. F. of
L. workers in tehir officials. The
labor racketeers had become so ar
1ogant that they were holding up
the capitalists themselves--were de-
mapding graft from them as we'll
as from workers. The capitalists
learned their lesson then if they
never learned it before. They
larned that labor leaders demand a
price--a huge price-for leading A.
F. of L. unions by the nose into the
camp of the capitalist enemy. And

Martinez, Cal,
The Daily Worker:
Ten more men laid off at the Shell
refinery at Martinez, Calf.
Shell and Standard Oil agreed to
raise the price of gas from zoe to
21c gallon, and immediately the
newspapers printed stories about
the government investigating these
price-fixing monopoIies. In two or
three days the whole furry died
down and no more was said about
21c gas. Why? Because the big
companies control the government
and tell the officials just what to
do and no to do, The newspapers
are controlled by the big bosses,
but they think they can keep the
workers buncoed with stories about
Investigations" etc.
That one-cent raise in price means
more millions for Shell Oil, but it
dosn't mean any fewer permanent
layoffs 70 any fewer wage cuts. On
some excuse or other our wages
will be cut and more continually laid
off, and the workers will not even
know the wages are cut.
Shell workers, we must organize
into the Mine, Oil, and Smelling
Union and demand stop to these
continual lay-offs, demand a greater
share of Shells huge profits.
Are we cattle that we can be herd
ed on and off the job as Shell Oil
sees fit, or are we men? We must
organize with the jobless to fight
for unemployment insurance for
them and no layoffs or cuts for us.
That is the way we can keep the
Shell Oil Co. from running US work
ers thru the Shell plant as tho it is

MOSCOW.-The Executive Com

September.
"The Executive Committee of the

only the Communist Party and the
Trade Union Unity League can lead
them out of it.
Labor Leaders Found Grating.
The Lockwood Committee found
that scores of millions of dollars
were being grated by crooked labor
leaders in league with police and
city officials. The Tammany courts
were forced to send 'Brindell, the
building trades GEAR" to Jail along
with dozens Of minor union officials.
They were cnvicted of e-taking,
price-fixing, contract rigging" and
selling strike insurance. The strike
insurance was nothing but a guar
sntee to exploiting employers that
workers would be prevented from
going on strike.
Despite the fact that the A. F. of

thieves-and there is no lower form
Of thief than labor misleader. un-

him-they all went to the jug for
brief terms. Brindell was sent up

radio, the latest fashions in clothes,
a servant and frequent excursions
with his family and other friends
outside the prison walls. And

ing in the place can tell you few
more shocking things. Is there
another place that keeps workers
working for 16 and IT hours with
out even a half an hour for lunch ?
Well, the workers in the Elton kit
chen, that is the washing depart
ment, start to work Monday morn
ing at and work till II and very
often IL o'clock at night. eW don't
stop to eat, but do it while working,
the smell of the chemicals mixing
with out food.
Tuesday and Wednesday we work
10 hours with only a holt an hour
for lunch. What is the result Of
this speed-up? By Thursday most
Of us are laid off and less than half
of the usual number remain to finish
the week.
There are workers who have to
work these long hours in the cellar,
where part of the washing is done,
with no ventilation at all, except
for about small windows half sunk
in the ground. With all this speed
up, long hours, and little pay. Do
you wonder that we are anxious to
organize and fight?
We have already started to or
ganize. Speakers from the Laundry
Workers League, 16 West 21st ST.,
have appealed to us and many join
ed. A shop committee has been or
ganized, and as soon as we take in
more workers we will tell the boss
that we will not stand for these
shocking conditions any longer. All

Dear Editor:


Daily Worker,
Dear Editor:
Being a marble worker, after hav-
ing spent years to learn this trade,
now I'm unable to find job, and
for the past two years only worked
for five months.
Being convinced that nothing
could be found in my trade five
months ago ] started to go hunting
for different positions in the facto-
ries, subways and employment
agencies all over the city but in
vain.
Stand Hours in Line
While the high salaried politicians
and grafters talk about studying
unemployment and investigating the
'red'' activities, millions of ex-pro-
ducers are starving like me.
For the past two weeks I stood in
line for hours at the fake city en-
ployment agency, but up to date l
failed to get in because too many
were before me.
For many days I tried to get a job
at the Rosoff Subway employment
office at 2s9 North 9Th Street,
Brooklyn, but here too the crowds
amounted to hundreds daily.
While the government gives mil
lions as a tax refund to all the big
millionaires and at the same time
the city administration raises their
own salary from $4,000 to $4,000
q year and SO on without mentioning
all the graft made out of the poor
taxpayers, for example like me.
Fellow workers of all races, wake
up and answer all the politicians of
the bosses and grafters by voting

Dear Comrades,
We would like you to print this
letter in the Daily Worker, so the
whitegoods and underwear workers
in New York will hear the latest
about the takers in Local 62 of the
international Ladies Garment Work
ers.
They have just taken back Samuel
Shore as executive supervisor. This

his position as manager of the union
to sell silk to the manufacturers and
at the same time sell out the work.
ers. He was always known as a
"sheik," and still is even tho he is
near so. He spills big words when
he talks which the girls cannot un-
derstand, but it's all part of the
effect.
Fat-Salaried Guy
No one can understand why an
executive supervisor at fat salary
is needed for this shell of a union.
1t is known that even the die-hards
of the executive board were against
taking him back, and so was Snyder,
the business manager who is afraid
of his job. But the orders came
from "higher up"
At the general membership meet
ing which was called for Shore only
100 were present. No discussion was
allowed. Snyder admitted this was
the first meeting in three years, and
that the union" had done absolute
ly nothing, and lost many members.
Start Campaign"
The takers said they would start
campaign. eW found out very
soon what kind of Campaign" they
mean. Snyder told some manufac-
turers at 1875 Madison Avenue, that
they must lockout their girls be-
cause they refused to join the union.
A "union official together with the
boss appeared before the girls at
the NJ. H. Rosenberg shop, just as
the power was stopping for lunch,
and told the girls they should all
join the union. The boss had prom
Used to stop the power 15 minutes
earlier the next day so they could
go to the union meeting. The boss
said he did not know how to make a
speech but approved of everything
that was said.
The workers saw through the fake
and refused to go to the meeting,
whereupon the "union official' ap-
peared before the building with two
cops to terrorize the girls.
The Needle Trades Workers In
dustrial Union issued leaflet ex-
posing Shore and all the takers. The
Needle Trades Workers Industrial
Union is organizing the whitegoods
and underwear workers on the basis
of militant struggle against the
wage-cuts, miserable conditions, long
hours, existing in, the trade today.
The Needle Trades Workers In
dustrial Union is the only union
which will lead the needle workers
in militant struggles for improved
conditions and a living wage, and
which is organizing the unemployed
workers into unemployed counuils.
