NEW YORK.-The Trade Union

poses the fake role of the Army

workers, and supports the Labor

Dec. 25th. The T. U. U. l.. youth

The Unemployed Youth Committee
In resolution says, "Of the 100000
unemployed in this city about 100000
are young workers. The bosses are
discriminating against the young

"A recent news item says-that the

they will attempt to get them jobs

Bosses Using Crisis to
Cut Wages
(By a Worker Correspondent

10y WORKER correspondent
NEW YORK.-The printing trade
has for many years been considered
one Of the best and most skillful OF
trades and the men who made their
living at this line of work were con-
sidered intelligent, independent and
well paid. But now it seems that
those days are something of the past
Thousands JobIess.
Thousands of union men are walk
ing the streets or in their union
waiting rooms" looking and waiting
for job. To get job that lasts
for week or two one must forget
about the union scale of hours and
wages. They will gladly work for
s25 or $40 a week.
Thousands of non-union men, the
grating officials won't let them join
the union, are seeking employment
and are willing to work for as low as
SIS a week.
Bosses Blacklist.
Nearly all these men and women
are registered at the Employing
Printers Associations employment
agency, where their history and pre-
vious, places of employment is kept
on file, If any man or woman shows
any sign OF radicalism he or she is
Immediately blackballed, thus pre-
venting them from obtaining a job
in any of the open shops,
The bosses now have adopted g new
scheme of wage-cutting, 1t is
silent, cruel, but very efficient way.
They advertise or call the employ
ment agency for an assistant press
man, compositor or bookbinder. and
although they pay him about one
half the wages that a full-fledged
man gets, this assistant must do a
real mans work and be as good as
any Of the full-fledged men they
displaced or are about to displace.
In view Of these conditions, it is
surprising that men and women in
the printing industry do not make
some attempt to improve their lot by
organizing and joining the Trade
Union Unity League printers league.

Today they expect thirty-six sash in

In the old days when painter
was sent to cut in, that is, paint
sash, he was handed brush called
a sash tool about 1-2 inches wide.
Today you are expected to cut in
sash with a five or six-inch wall
brush. To use sash tool means in
slant discharge.
But the greatest and most note
worthy change Is the duration of a
painters life. I recall very wildly
