Final preparations are being made

In Minneapolis, great difficulty

HOW STRAW BOSS
GETS BIG MONEY
Wages Cut in All Ways
Possible
by q Worker Correspondent

by Worker Correspondent
CHICAGO, Ill.-While workers
slave for meager wages, the bosses
get big salaries for nothing.
An instance of this is in the Borg
and Beck Company, manufacturers
of automobile clutches. There a boss
ceased to boss the workers by dying.
After his death the workers of his
factory found that this slave driver
actually collected monthly salary
Of $1,400, and the workers, who,
under terrible speed-up layoffs and
wage-cuts are lucky if they get $25
week.
Sneaky Wage Cuts.
This factory tries every means to
cut the wages without letting the
workers know and brag about it in
the papers that they uphold the
promise that they don't cut the
wages. The newest device to secretly
cut the wages is the so-called group
system and piece work. This plan
regulates the amount Of pay in a
machine so that worker who is
working very hard just gets over fifty
cents an hour, which is equal to the
amount the slave gets when he is
payed the date rate.
If the group doesn't make the fifty
cents an hour due to a bad machine,
etc. the factory pays the date rate
for that time but deducts the differ
ence the workers get extra from an
other job or the next weeks pay.
In this way the workers are fooled
into believing that they never get
paid below fifty cents an hour, but
the weekly pay contradicts that
statement.
Boss Gets Bonus.
These systems were the ideas of
the boss who gets a bonus for every
plan that increases the output and
lessons the cost. Ali sending the
workers deeper and deeper in misery
and starvation. These systems and
bosses can be eliminated by forcing
them to go if all the workers join
the militant unions of the T. q. U. l..

JOBLESS GROW
IN WISCONSIN
Wage Cuts Rampant;
c.. P. Calls For Fight

The conditions Of the workers and
farmers in Wisconsin are very bad
and are getting worse day by day,
In some of the big industrial cities of
Wisconsin unemployment has1ncreas-
ed in the past year as much as so per
cent. Wage cuts take place daily. In
Milwaukee in the past few months
we find wage cuts of 20 per cent in
the Phoenix and Holeproof Hosiery
plants in which the bosses received
the direct aid of the Socialist leaders
in the Hosiery Union as well as sup
port from the Socialist Milwaukee
Leader; 10 per cent wage cut in Wis
consin Motors, and wage cuts in the
Wisconsin Iron and Bridge Works, in
the Seaman body plant. A. o. Smith,
international Harvester, Kearney
Trecker, Guede Peshke and Frey and
a number Of other plants.
Wage Cuts Rampant
With the wage cuts have gone speed
up and increasing part time. In some
cases as in the big Pfister vogel Tan
merry, the plant which formerly en-
ployed as high as 5000 workers, is
shutting down permanently. Unem-
ployment is SO serious that already
1890 selected men have applied for
jobs of firemen with only 4 men ad-
yertised in the press as needed.
While the conditions of the workers
are getting bad beyond words to real
ly describe it, the farmers TO Wis
consin find growing misery in theii
midst. Eleven thousand farms have
been abandoned in a period of five
years. Bankruptcies on the farms &C.
cur daily. Misery is the common
plight of the poor farmers of Wis
consin.
In this situation the Communist
Party is conducting its campaign and
its struggle against the LaFolette
"Progressives" and Socialist Party
both of whom have a strong hold on
the masses of Wisconsin.
The LaFollette group which lined
up openly with the Old Guard Repub-
licans after the Primary and which
is supported by VIM. Green, vicious
enemy of the workers, uses the typi-
cal petty bourgeois phrases about
farm relief and labor legislation in
order to win over and betray the
working masses with these progress
sive words. LaFollette says practical
ly nothing about unemployment in
surance and comes out openly as the
champion Of the business interests of
Wisconsin.
The Socialist Betrayers
The Socialist Party of Wisconsin is
another most dangerous betrayer of
the working masses. 1t was the so
cialist" Mayor Hoan of Milwaukee
who ordered the workers dubbed on
March 9Th when they demanded
work or wages, and who again pre-
pares to stab the unemployed move
ment by coming out in support of
Hoover's and Hurley's stagger sys-
tenn which means part time and real
starvation wages for the workers. 1t

ty Board who proposes a $4,000 soup

Greek Workers
FIGHT Balkan
War MQneuUeY

ATHENS.--A meeting organized
by the Committee against the Dan
ger of War was held in Athens to
expose the Balkan conference which
took place here recently. 1900
workers attended the meeting and
many more were unable to enter the
hall Those outside were driven off
by the police. The meeting adopted
a resolution exposing the real char
acter of the League of Nations and
the Balkan conference as a capitalist
league against the Soviet Union.
The resolution called upon the
workers of the Balkan countries to
unite against the imperialists. The
meeting sent greetings to the new
Soviet ambassador who has just
arrived in Greece. Following the
meeting a procession marched
through the streets singing the
"Internationale." The workers were
dispersed by the police.
Three thousand workers of a
wagon factory in Arad have sent
their fraternal greetings to the Greek
proletariat and congratulating it
upon its struggle against the Balkan
conference.
The Siebenburgen district commit
tee Of the Roumanian Communist
Party has sent similar greetings.

Farm Worker Loses
Arm as Boss Hurries

(By a Worker Correspondent
The farms are getting to be as
bad as the factories. A thrashing
machine, working at Snider, Colo
RADIO, had several men working on
it at $500 day--ten hours. Last
Friday the machine stopped and
one worker crawled into the ma
chine to fix the blower. The boss
came up, and seeing the machine
had stopped, thought the men had
stopped to take a rest, and with
out saying anything to the work
ers went to the machine and threw
in the clutch, while the worker was
still inside Of the separator.
The blower cut the workers arm
off and threw it up on the straw
stack. The farmer, of course, had
no insurance, and all the worker
will be able to get Is sympathy.

many occasions the Fascists have

1t is reported here that Hitler OF
the German Fascists would return to
Vienna, his home city, to aid the
Fascists in their drive for power.
The Communist Party of Austria is

FRISCO JOBLESS
ON WATERFRONT
The Shipping Crisis Is
Quite Severe
Workers Correspondencel


SAN FRANCISCO, Calm an
swer to Mayor Walker for his express
sion that the workers would not work
even if they had job, say he is
wrong.
Here on the San Francisco water
front, strong and willing workers
gather every morning at seven
o'clock, waiting for a job to work on
he ships cargo. These hundreds of
trong men once made from eight to
ten dollars day and today they
would be very glad to get job to
keep them from starvation.
Starvation Jobs.
And to get starvation job one
has to have a pull, otherwise he can
go hungry. Hundreds of seamen seek
ing a job on the waterfront and
always the same answer: we don't
need anybody today. Only one out
of two hundred strikes a job and
what kind of job, and under what
conditions But it does not make
any difference, it is job at least,
and it keeps man from starvation.
Workers have nothing to expect
from Mayor Walker. The only rem
edy for the worker is to organize and
to fight against such rotten condi-
tions.
Shipping Crisis.
Furthermore, very little shipping is
going on on the waterfront. The
commercial machine is almost at a
standstill. Half-loaded ships coming
and going out to foreign ports. An
other proof of this crisis is that one
can notice the near empty piers.
Very little work is going on. This
shows the world crisis is on.

were able to fix a so-called
rate of 100 per cent produc-
ton, which, of course, was
fixed at what they considered
the highest point of human
endurance.
So if a worker can possibly do a
little above this 1000 basis, he re-
ceives a few pennies bonus. For ex-
ample, worker in one plant earned
18 cents bonus for the three weeks
work.
This system is so manipulated
that the worker is unable to figure
how much, if any, bonus he has
made. The worker who cannot come
up to the 1000 basis is fired.
Throw Out Workers.
This system has enabled the bos.
see to greatly reduce the number OF
workers and increase their profits
enormously. For the workers this
system makes old men of the young
It adds to the great army of starry

bosses use as a club over the heads

1t also adds to the number of
