Mr.. Herbert Ward of today as
seen in his Paris studio is a man OF
serious mien and measured motions,
vet in the steel-like glance of his
piercing eye can be seen much OF
the resolution which even at the
age of fifteen prompted him to
leave his home in England. IAN ir-
resistable desire seized me-" he
says, ito see the great world, to
wander through strange countries,
and to associate. with barbarians
who dwell far from the jostling of
civilization"
Four years he spent as stock
rider in Australia, and then be-
came cadet in the wild interior
of Borneo. There for seven months
he lived, surrounded by tribes of
Dyak head hunters, till he contract
ed malarial fever and had to return
to England. Here he met Henry M
Stanley and soon started for service

months he travelled hither and

BY careful studying he finally be-
came proficient in the Kikongo

his note book and sketch book were
always at hand. Round about him
were these choice physical speci-

that his pencil was kept busy catch

CENTRAL ALLOY
WAGE CUTS LEAD

Steel Bosses "Slick"
Ways of a Slashing
(By Worker Correspondent

(By q VORTEX C0rfeSpondentJ
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio - Some
reasons why the workers in the
Central Alloy (Republic SteeD Co.,
must organize under the Trades
Union Unity League.
The company has different ways
of cutting wages and laying off
men. The job of the first mechanic
is given to the second mechanic for
less pay. Pipe filters job goes to
the helper for less pay. This is
new method of cutting wages so we
wouldn't notice it.
How They Slash Wages
In the 35inch dept. after we are
working a few days on a job that
pays rs cents, the boss sends US to
another job that pays only 60 cents.
Then, when we return to our first
job we don't get but go cents. This
is another way the bosses cut
wages.
In the 8 inch dept. bosses send US
home every time they feel like it.
They send us home after we've
worked hours, z hours. They go as
far as send some of us home at TAT,
10 minutes before quitting time.
This is so we can't claim full
hours.
Must Organize
We can't better our conditions if
we don't organize into the Metal
Workers Industrial League; organize
shop committees as the basis for a
real union against wage cuts, speed
up and for unemployment insurance.
Let's all steel workers, working
and laid off, join hands and Demon
strate on March 6 against unem-
ployment.

Miners ANSWER
CUT WITH STRIKE |:
They See Thru Hoovers
"No' Wage Cuts" Lie
(By a Worker Correspondent

(By a Worker Correspondent
POWHATAN POINT, Ohio -.
The coal miners of the Powhstan
Mining Co. strike for over a week.
They know that Hoover's promise
to the labor takers not to have
wages cut was so much bull.
Strike Is the Answer.
We haven't forgotten the wage
cuts in the mines here of a year
ago, and now the bosses start in
cutting wages again. Well our
answer was strike under the
leadership of the National Miners
Union, and TOO of us are out.
Today they are paying As cents
per ton and they put before us
.heir new scale and now, imagine
fellow workers how can miner
live on that.
$3.50 Highest Wage
Let us suppose that they give
US ton wagon and il we are
lucky they pay $3.50 and some
times less than that. IF we earn
in day $3.50 that is the highest
possible out of this we have to pay
for powder 81, and now they come
out and claim that the company is
going bankrupt and if the com
pany goes bankrupt they say we
won't have no work at all. Be-
sides this they are robbing US ia
the company store where the
prices are at least 20-30 per cent
higher than in other stores.
AS far as the miners are con.
oerned the situation can be chang
ed only thru the National Miners
Union affiliated to the TUUL, the
only revolutionary working class
industrial center. Every miner
regardless of nationality, color or
age should join Immediately be-
cause this is our last chance.

there were only 1000 working. Las
additional.
At the present time there are only
about 5000 working. Nine thousand
chucked out on the streets to starve.
What are the blessings for those
"lucky" ones that are still at work?
Here are only a few examples taken
from one department,
One hundred and sixty men, Win
ders, We're employed who were max
ing up to $40 a week. Now the work
is being done by 16 girls or women
at from SIT to $22 week (never
more).
Blockers made As to so dollars
per week for 8 hours a day. Now
they make SIG per week working
10 hours daily.
Hand-sanders were paid $38 to $40
per week. Now they are never paid
more than SIT per week.
Finishers were paid $35 to $40
per week. Now only'$16
Coil winders were getting $50 per
week. Now the maximum paid is S25
to $27 per week. There are many
more examples, but the above will
suffice.
The working day is 1912 hours
with a half an hour for lunch.
Conditions and discipline within
the shop are worse then for prison
labor: no one is allowed to answer
a greeting or to exchange a word
with a neighbor worker, even at the
same bench.
Foremen and foreladies are con-
stantly promenading the isles be-
tween the benches and tables, on
the sharp lookout for a murmur or
any slackening up of a worker, lash
ing the whip of hurry up, girls,
get a move on!" Worse than the old
system Of slave driving. If a worker
is injured or gets faint" he or she
is not allowed to be taken to the
dispensary or to have any medical
attendance without the O. X. of the
foreman, which usually is not given.
For the last several weeks this
shop has installed a police station
within its walls to guard the factory
workers from Communist contain
nation"
After the last distribution of Dali
ly Workers and leaflets at the gates
attended by the usual brutality and
beating by the exclusive Majestic
Radio Police Department "a branch
of the city police dept) the workers
within the slave drivers camp res
ponded magnificently, Those that
didn't get the Daily Worker or leaf
lets begged the lucky ones that did
get to loan them the thing" over
night to read it over
Oh, yes! The factory has, of
course, a cultural institution. A
basket ball team or some thing like
it. The workers don't even know
what it is, but they know that they
have to pay for it. Almost every
week they must buy ticket for so
or Is cents. No excuses are allowed.
The foreman openly announces:
whoever doesn't buy a ticket may
as we'll get the hell out of here!" So
the management is pocketing from
81 800 to $4,000 every week from
the girls pay envelopes.
Well, won't we in the shop at
