States army. After serving or sla'
of which one year have spent with
to guarantee Uncle Shylock his
share of plumber from the German
workers for losing the war, I was
honorably discharged from further
militarism.
In 1925, that is the latter part,
and which was few months after
leaving the army, I began to work
for the Hudson Paper Bag Co., To-
Gated in Brooklyn, New York. The
Hudson Paper Bag Co. is the largest
of its sort in the country. The sup
ply everything in paper bags to the
leading concerns in the United
States and Canada. They own paper
mills in Vermont, where there are
several hundred workers employed
under the worse conditions prevail
ing. In their Brooklyn plant the
Hudson Paper Bag Co. aso employs
several hundred workers of whom
the majority are young boys and
girls. These young slaves are driven
to a tremendous rate of speed on
account of the company's greed for
more profit. The speed-up causes
many of the workers to get hurt
and for which they are scolded in
shameful manner by the foremen
and foreladies.
In the four years that I have been
connected with them as a slave !
have practically worked about two
years solidly. My pay was s28 per
week, but at the end of the year |
only averaged about $14 per week.
The company laid me off in April,
1929, on account of the intense
naturalization perpetuated by
Mr.. Frederick, one of the owners, in
his new program of economy. My
former job as a pressman is now
being cared for by young boys out
of school for about half of the
wages that I was getting, and that
is if they work full week.
At present I am still out of work,
and I do not see any immediate
prospects in sight for me. Every
morning, for the past few months,
I have been trying to get job
through the want columns of the
newspapers. Every time l answered
an ad for a slave or two | have
found hundreds of poor discouraged
workers fighting among themselves
in order to see who would be the
first one to get in line, and to at
tract the bosses attention or favor.
These hungry and disillusioned
workers who roam the streets of the
richest city in the world, seeking
something that they cannot find
and that is means of livelihood,
has finally convinced me that the
fat boy of the White House, Hoover,
who has preached prosperity for the
workers, is only bubble in the air,
and the workers cannot exist on that
kind of prosperity; they want bread,
clothing and roof over their heads.
To help remedy these prevailing
conditions under the present system
of graft, corruption and privation,
we, the unemployed workers must
Immediately organize into unem-
ployed councils, under the leadership
of the Communist Party and compel
the capitalist government to give us
immediate relief in the form of un-
employment insurance and not char
ity.

SLASH PAY OF

Frisco Men Feel Hand
Of Naturalization
(Bg a Worker Correspondent

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.-The
Inauguration of the track conveyor
in the auto laundry business indi-
Gates another lowering in the al
ready bad conditions in that indus
try. The newest one Of these speed
trackss.,o Or "race tracks" as the
workers dub them, contains among
many others of the newest methods
of speed-up track conveyor that
has established the record of con-
veying a car past a washing and
finishing crew of of 81 men in 9
minutes, r Extreme speed-up and
stretchout. pace is quickened still
more. p@%A
The4aate of pay in the Du-track
Auto Laundry in Frisco was $4.75
until February IA, 1880. At this
time an emergency directors meet
ing took place. 1t was decided that
there was not enough profits rolling
in, in spite of the fact that the earn
ings pf-the owners had remained
steady for the last eight months and
that at the time of the meeting
business was picking up and the
earnings being increased. This,
however, was not enough to satisfy
the prifit- hungry exploiters. They
went into that meeting with the fol-
lowing slogan; More Profits. and
1oce rryacror -
Robbery.
On February Ia this schedule was
placed before the workers, ostensibly
for their acceptance, but merely as
a matter of routine, because when
four of US, incensed at the injustice
of the steal, protested, we were
canned on the spot. The schedule
went into effect in spite of the gen
eral but disorganized growl, and the
workers are being exploited worse
than ever.
The following is the tricky sched-
ule the corporation brought in to
replace the previous day rate of
S4.75 for an s IL hour day. "Be-
ginning this date (Feb. 14) all men
employed here will work from 8
a. m. to Y noon and from 1890 to
$50 p. m. 60 hrs.). The day rate
of s4.75 will be abolished. Instead
the washers, including chamois men,
will receive a guarantee of SO per
day, if the days run is $50 cars;
the finishers, ETC.. 20 receive S2.70
per de- e $50 cars; beyond $50
cars washers and chamois men will
receive two cents per car up to $50
cars; finishers. cts, to receive one
and eight-tenths cents per car up
to $50. Then all will be paid a
bonus of one-half cent beyond $50
cars.
1t was brought out, however, that
the so-called bonus was nothing
more than a wage slash in disguise,
because in order TO rightly call it
bonus it would indicate that we
were going to get two and one-half
cents, and two and three-tenths for
washers and finishers, respectively.
Instead the washers and chamois
men are cut one and five-tenths
cents per day, the finishers one and
three-tenth cents per car, and every
one is leveled out to a half cent per
car over $50 cars.
Let's organize in the Trade Union
Unity League.

OPPOSITE VIEWS TO
SHAFER ON SURPLUS
Where North Dakotan Agreed
With Legge, Minnesotan
Has Different Outlook
sYMPATHIzEs WITH BOARD
Says Industry Would Be Given
Monopoly to Sell Abroad
by Adjusting Crops

st. Paul, Mar. 12.-(AP)-Gov-
ernor Christianson of Minnesota
said today he did not agree with the
suggestion Of Alexander Legge,
chairman Of the federal farm board,
that solution Of the farm problem
lies in adjusting crop production to
domestic demand.
Commenting on q statement made
by Mr.. Lcgge in Washington, the
governor said if Mr.. Legge's sugges-
ton were carried out, the United
States would become a decidedly in
dustrial nation.
Mr.. Legge stated q 20 per cent
reduction in the domestic wheat sup
ply would make the tariff fully cf-
,fcctive and q cut Of 10 per cent ia
conform to the 10 per cent decrease
in acreage which the farm board is
urging, would put wheat industry on
a fairly healthy basis.
Mr.. Legge's statement was in re-
ply to q letter from Governor Shafer
Of North Dakota, who urged the
board to resume its former practice
Of financing wheat purchases by the
grain sterilization corporation above
the market price.
Sees Industrial Monopoly
If it were granted that as a nation
American export must be limited
roughly to the total Of the imports
Governor Christianson said, agri
culture would bc put on a non-exporr

State Fire Marshal's Office An.
nounces Written Admission
at New Rockford

A signed confession that she at
tempted to burn her home, last Sat-
urday evening, Is reported by the
state fire marshal's office to have
been obtained from Mrs. Emma
Sands, New Rockford, in an investiga-
ton conducted by. Frank Barnes, chief
assistant fire marshal. Mrs. Sands
now Is in the custody of Sheriff Carl
Thompson, of Eddy county, awaiting
arraignment in court.
The New Rockford police and fire
men were convinced from evidence
gathered at the fire that 1t was of
incendiary origin. and they assisted
Mr.. Barnes in his Investigations.
Confronted by some Of the evidence,
Mrs. Sands broke down, says the as
sistart fire marshal. and admitted
that $1,000 insurance carried on her
furniture, combined with some finan-
cial difficulties, were the temptations
which induced her to set the fire.
Her intention was to leave the state
when the insurance had been collect
ed.
She told the officers, they say, that
she poured kerosene on wadded news
papers placed directly beneath the
floor above the basement, lighted
them and went into town. expecting
the house to burn down in her alb
sence.
Callers, however, came to the house
and discovered the fire. An alarm
was given and the firemen quickly
extinguished the blaze. Damage to
the house and contents was small.

DENY VETS RIGHT TO QUERY

Washington, Mar. 12.-(AP)-
Friends of prohibition placed before
the house judiciary committee today
the view that the womanhood Of
America was lined up in solid sup
port of the Eighteenth amendment
and was prepared both now and at
any time to combat move looking
toward it's repeal.
Near the outset, the group of wo-
men were given authority to present
their prepared testimony without in
terruption. This decision was reached
after a sharp verbal clash, precipi-
tated by wet members who sought
to cross-examine.
Mrs. Henry w. Peabody Of Bev-
erly, Mass, chairman of the woman's
national committee for law enforce
ment, took charge of the witnesses.
who argued that the vets had failed
to provide a workable solution" in
the event the dry statutes were re-
pealed. Further, they contended the
anti-prohibitionists had shifted re-
sponsibility in this regard by saying
they left the solution up to congress.
Mines. Ford, Edison Speak
The women took the stand in rapid
order. They supported their case
by presenting statements from Mrs.
Henry Ford and Mrs. Thomas A.
Edison. Both the Detroit manufac-
turer and the inventor have been
recorded as favoring retention of the
| 18th amendment and its supporting
laws.
The women witnesses were drawn
from a wide field. Some were prom
inent in club and social circles while
| others spoke as chairmen of nation
ally known women's organizations.
In all. some three dozen women
presented their statements.
Mrs. Vic Donahey, the wife of the
former governor of Ohio, said that
her state is "squarely for prohibi-
tion and law enforcement" and twill
support and honor with high office
only those who are willing to do their
duty in these important matters"
