NEW AIR SERVICE
TO EAST COAST
PASSENGER SERVICE OFFERS NEW
AND FASTER TRAVEL TO MAIN
EASTERN POINTS

Direct airplane service from Salt
Lake City to Cleveland became an
accomplished fact on Wednesday,
October l, when the first passenger
plane over National Air Transport
left Chicago for the Ohio metropolis.
A communication from the traffic
department of National Parks Air
ways gives the following information
concerning this event:
1T win be of real interest to many
residents on the line OF National Parks
Anyways to learn that the first real step
toward closing the gap in direct air
transportation between Chicago and
New York, for passengers as we'll as
mail, was taken on the first of the
month when the National Air Trans
port company inaugurated passenger
service between Chicago and Cleveland.
This company is now planning similar
service between Cleveland and New
York. When these plans are placed in
operation it will complete the first all
air transcontinental route. 1t has been
possible to get through to New York by
air, but three changes Of planes and
lines were necessary in order to &C
complish this.
National Parks Always knows on
account of the numerous inquiries it
has received concerning the possibilities
of air travel through to New York that
there is very often occasion for it's
patrons to make a h%urry-up trip east
and that had this service been in
existence it would have had consider
able patronage from people along u
line.
AS the service now stands passengers
arrive in Salt Lake City over National
Parks Always at sos p. m. They
leave this city at 4 p. m, over the Boz
ing line for Chicago, except in cases
of exceptionally heavy mail loads when
it is necessary to wait until 4 a. m.
These planes arrive in Chicago at 6
a.. m. and 6 D.. m. The National Air
Transport plane leaves from the same
field at $50 a. m, arriving in Cleve-
land at lao p. m. This would make
the elapsed time from Butte to Cleve-
land 81 hours.
National Parks Always representa-
tives in every city on the line will make
reservations through to Cleveland for
patrons using its service to connect
with the Boeing line at Salt Lake City"

Many livestock owners think their

Instead of the spy system, victimzation

the Party has more or less capitulated to them.
This was expressed in failure of our Shop

and thc failure of our comrades in non-Party

District 50

THE deepening economic crisis in the United
States, expresses itself in full force in the
Pittsburgh District. Unemployment has reach
ed point hitherto unknown. The new meth
DDS Of naturalization are introduced with much
greater rapidity. The conditions of great Sec
tons of the workers are rapidly approaching
the stage of complete misery. In the mining
fields, unemployment is so rampant that ac-
tual starvation exists in many sections. The
wages received are lower than ever All the
old methods of cheating the miners have been
re-introduced The company stores are again
in control. Part time employment is the lot
of the miners who are still employed.
The steel industry still further expresses
these conditions. Westinghouse has reduced
its workers from more than $4,000 in 1928 to
less than $4,000. The National Tube (U. S.
SteeD in McKeesport has built a new plant
where one-third of the present force will pro-
duce the same amount of products, as are
being produced now. Already the process of
layoffs in this plant is going on apace. Con-
trary to the fluctuations in most other sec
tions, and despite the agitation of the press,
the trend Of unemployment in the Pittsburgh
District continues steadily upward.
The mood of the workers for struggle, while
slow in expressing itself, is apparent. This
mood showed itself definitely in the response
to tn March Sixth and May First Demon
STATIONS, and in the numerous small depart
mental strike taking place.
The efforts of the Party to meet the situa-
ton, I, increase its activity, to become the
leader of all the struggles of the workers meet
with a serious drawback, that hangs like a
eaden weight around the body of the Party.
This drawback is the low theological status
of our Party in the district, as we'll as its or,
ganizational weakness and the social compost.
tion of the membership.
The social composition of the Party is ex-
ceedingly poor. In the city of Pittsburgh where
most of our membership is, the mass Of the
workers are steel workers, yet the membership
Of the Party here consists overwhelmingly of
elements in light industry.
Not only is this low development due to the

The workers employed in the
chemical industries, most of whom
are Negroes, are subjected to the
worst kind of speed-up and always
in danger of being burned up by
the dangerous gases and acids. The
workers employed in the chemical
factories are forced by the compa-
MES TO pay dollar per month from
their wages so they may get some
compensation in event of an acct
dent. The rules of the company pro-
vide that when an accident takes
place, the worker is to Immediately
notify the office of the company
and if he is confined to bed for
three days, the worker is 70 get his
compensation.
On the twenty third of this month
a Negro worker employed in the Da-
visOn Chemical Co. got burned with
acid The faul of this accident rests
entirely upon the shoulders of the
company, as they do not provi.a
means to prevent the acid from 60
ing through the pants when the
pants get wet as result of the
acid.
When this worker was burned by
the acid, he Immediately notified
the company, and though according
to rules every worker is entitled to
compensation after the third day,
today on the thirty first of May,
eight days after the accident took
place, the Dawson Chemical Com
pany is using various reasons and
Qualifications for not paying any,
thing to this worker. The above
mentioned Negro worker is COM
pletely unable to work and must
depend upon charitable institutions
to keep his family.
This accident is no isolated case,
practically day after day accidents
take place and workers employed
at the gas table are affected by the
acid and some of them get crippled
for the rest of their lives.
The workers at the Dawson
Chemical Co. are forced to work
between twelve and thirteen hours
pc day for meagre wage. The
day shift workers work from seven
in the morning until eight in the
evening, with half hour for lunch,
while the night shifts work thirteen
hours without any lunch at all.
The workers, both white and Ne
gro, employed at the chemical fac
tories must wake up and realize that
the only way to better their con-
ditiOns and improve the present sit
uation is by organizing in militant
industrial trade union.
Only through organization can
the workers force the company who
makes millions of profit to take the
necessary precaution measures and
to prevent the many accidents that
cripple the workers.

About a month ago while produc-

We work on the so-called group

thousand, we have to do the four

two thousand. Doing this we save

the end of the week some two or
three young workers are laid off.
A week later this bank is used
up so they hire new help at lower
rate. This has been practiced all

they laid off seventy workers in
two days. The workers say that
these conditions are making Bolshe-
