NO PAY FOR DEAD

Miners Can't Make a

MOUNDSVILLE, w. Va.-Here at
Panama mines where am working,
so men are employed. Forty of them
are coal leaders, and two-day men
for the whole mine. And the remain
der do this and that in and around
the mine.
The company doesn't employ motor
men, nor horses and drivers, the
leaders themselves must do the work
by pushing loads and empties in and
out Of their place of work. They also
must do the work Of motorman by
hauling loads out and empties in.
No Pay For Deadwork
Fails" in the main entry and place
Of work must be Cleaned up" by the
leaders themselves. Rock and slate
must be thrown aside. All the work
mentioned above is done by us and
we don't receive any pay for it.
Safety measures are forgotten here.
The places of workings are 80 feet
wide. Three tracks and two men per
track. Each track receives four and
five cars day. Mine workers 4 and
days week. How can man make
a living at only So cents a ton? The
weight isn't bad but worse than bad
Three ton cars only give III tons
A miner can't make his expenses for
mining the coal.
Not only here are such conditions
prevalent but all over the coal min
ing area. Miners, we must organize
and strike against starvation wages
and rotten conditions. Under the
leadership Of the Mine, Oil and

KANE, Pal read in the Daily
Worker of stolen Communist votes.
I am sure that the Communists got
more workers on their side then they
think they have.
When I'm through with the Daily
I give it to other workers and urged
the workers before election to vote
Communist. But they said they did
not have the right to vote. They
don't make enough to feed their
families and most of them are out Of
work. They couldn't pay their tax
so this is why they didn't vote Conn
munist.
I myself didn't have the right to
vote because I didn't pay a sum Of
over Sc for taxes and do not own
property know that some did vote
Communist because they told me but
I don't know If these votes were
counted or not.
Conditions around here are very
bad Those that make from $35 to
$45 month, are very lucky.

Such things as this should make
every workers blood boil and it would
be victory for all of us if we could

I can do a little bit before I get

I am having hell of a good time

Over in Massilon west of here,
charity collected $4,000 to take care
of the needy this winter. Imagine in
a town of $4,000 where no one is
working except few hundred work
ers on part time and of course the
parasites. To decently take care of
all the needy families there for one

One Hungarian worker, namely
Nick Malnar, worked in Studebaker's
for nine years. But when he started
visiting the Hungarian Workers
Home he was laid off. While in
Studebaker he had an accident In
surance which was good anywhere in
the country, meaning, of course, that
the accident insurance was good for
outside accidents too.
Loses Both Eyes.
Shortly after he was laid off from
Studebaker Nick got a job in Oliver
Pillow Co.. where after few months
work he lost both eyes in an accident
While Nick was under the impress
sion that his insurance was still good
the lousy Catholic priests even had
that cancelled with the insurance
company. This worker did not get
a cent from anybody and today he
faces starvation.
This is. in brief, the story OF
worker and church member at that.
Vicious Spies.
The Catholic priests not only had
him discharged from Studebaker be-
cause Nick made it a point to go
around the Workers Home once In
a while, but even had his accident
insurance policy cancelled with the
insurance company and they also
blocked every effort on Nick's part to
get any state compensation.

PAY MEN TO GO TO
NATIONAL GUARD
Union Pacific Hot for
Strikebreaking
(By = Worker Correspondent
Portland. Oregon

Portland. Oregon.
The employees of the shops of the
Union Pacific here are beginning to
wonder at the reason for the COM
pany paying them their SALARY" dur
ing their vacation time If they spend
1t in the National Guard camp.
This procedure receives as much
endorsement from the U. P. as does
their company union. Now we all
know that the company union is not
meant for our benefit, and little
closer study will reveal that this sum-
mer training is no good to us, but
fine for the U. P.
Strikebreaking Training
The company is sure that the most
Of us are real patriots and will obey
the orders to break strikes. We have
not given this much thought, but the
facts in the Daily Worker about the
plans for quick mobilization of the
National Guard make 1t clear what
we are being trained for.
The best thing that can be done
here is for the Trade Union Unity
League to come in and teach the real
union Of militant class struggle to
those workers who are being misled
by the bosses, and warn them against
the fake tactics of the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor union which is try
ing to organize us illegally.
This union will be accepted by the
u. P. after it succeeds in locating all
Of us who are inclined to be class
conscious, and maybe radical" That
is the only reason for seeming to
organize illegally. I am sure.
If the Trade Union Unity League
program is agitated and taught to
the workers here, they will become a
fighting group.
Several Of the workers here will
join Immediately If it is brought to
them.
Yours for class fighting union
