The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1930-05-22

The workers at the Johns-Tilt
Shoe Co. on Dayton Ave. in Los
Angeles work under the worst con-
ditions. Men toll ten or more hours
a day on piece-work. In accordance
with the California law, there is a
notice on the wall in the stitching
room to the effect that no female
may work more than eight hours per
day. However, the forelady in this
department is blind, in as much as
she will not see, and women stitch
ers come early and leave late dur
ing the busy season. The doors are
open and the power is on long be-
fore the required starting time. The
stitchers, in order to make living
at the low rate paid for piece-work,
actually put in much more than the
the 48-hour work-week stipulated by
law for women.
After the busy season slackens
the majority of the workers seldom
have enough work for even 80 or
40 hours labor. Needless to say,
the pay check at such times is pitt
fully inadequate, despite the inten-
sve speed which all must attain.
Sanitary conditions are unfit for
animals. People on the ground floor
wash under a dripping tap, over
an old meal wash tub. Even in the
women's lavatory there are no tow

CELEBRATE GROWING
USSR SOCIALISM may 81

Despite the fact that they con-
stitute two-thirds of the total pea
SAINT population, private peasants
have sown less wheat than the col
lective farms in the Soviet Union
according to an announcement just
issued by the Commissariat of Ag-
riculture and reported by the United
Press.
This is another indication of the
tremendous progress being made in
the collectivization of Soviet agri-
culture under the Five Year Plan
of Socialist Construction. New
York workers will hail these vic
tories Of the Five Year Plan at a
big mass celebration at Timer Park,
Brooklyn, on SATURDAY., May 81
Defend the Soviet Union Day. The
celebration is under the auspices of
the Friends of the Soviet Union and
the Workers International Relief.
Tickets are SO cents and are on
sale at the F. S. U. national office,

Local, 100 Broadway, Room +21; W.

rested with other leaders. Gandhi's
secretary, Imam Sahib, was one of
those jailed.
But in reporting this the United
Press states that the dispatch has
been mutilated presumably by
British authorities" and ore whole
section suppressed. Another Sec
ton was cut from 81 to 46 words.
Beat Up Constables.
More than 100, according to this
same story, were arrested in an at
tack by 300 police on the National
Congress House in Bombay, accord
ing to capitalist press reports, and
when police broke up another raid
on the Wa dala salt works on Bonn
bay Island. Sixty were injured in
the attack on the congress house
and after the fight there Indians
caught a couple of British con-
stables and beat them up.
There are undoubtedly many cases
of mass resistance throughout India,
news of which does not leak through
the censorship. Heavy troop move
ments are going on. The British
authorities in Peshawur are re-
ported as being in a state of great
anxiety and much worried over the
loyalty of troops sent there.

be condemned.
There is no place provided for
eating lunches. The nearest restau-
rant is some distance away, making
it difficult for workers to go out in
the short lunch period. Girls and

Precautions are taken that none

sums assessments are made for

At the moment Doumergue is in AL
geria taking part in the celebra-
tons in the centenary of the French
occupation. No doubt he is deliv-
ering oily speeches concerning the
benefits heaped by French imperial
ism on the natives, whilst in Indo-
China 80 natives are awaiting death
or lifelong hard labor at his hands.
The Communist Party in Algeria
has organized a strong campaign
against the celebrations which have
of course been engineered by the

tive toilers to raise their heads and

The mayor signed the bill on Mon

full to send out letters to chosen
ones covering all street jobs and
more. The aldermen gave out let

WIFE IS VALUED
At S28 WEEK

How much is the average
housewives work worth, when
estimated according to the cur
rent wage scale paid to servants
for the performance Of similar
daily household tasks?
The average" wife would earn
$28 a week. or $1,450 a year. il
she were paid in cash for ner
services, according to report Of
the Bureau of Home Economies,
Department of Agriculture, on D
survey made under the direction
of DR.. Hildegarde Kneeland.
The working week of house
wives averages 81 hours, slightly
less than the average Of work
ing men, it is estimated. OF
this time oue-third is spent in
culinary work, the remainder be-
ing divided among other tasks,
chiefly mending, washing and
caring for children, the report
states.
The survey, according to the
bureau, shows the ultimate econ
omy of servant hire. Long hours
at household work lower the ef.
ficiency of the worker, the re-
port declared. One New Eng
land woman was found to be
working Sta hours each week
in her home. Her cash "earn-
ings" were placed at $2,500 o
