Big Wage Slash

Ralston, Nebr.
The Daily Worker:
l have been reading in your pa
per which | get from a friend,
about wage cuts, which seem to
have become a rule all over the
country. Here in this little town
there is a furniture factory where
the workers have had this expert
ence. Piece workers, skilled men
who used to earn from sixty to
seventy dollars a week have been
cut to a point where they can earn
only from about thirty-five to
forty dollars a week, while hour
workers have been cut fifteen per
cent. AS there is a fear among
the workers that the plant may
shut down for the winter, the
cut was accepted without a pro-
test. A case of take it or leave it
and make the best of it.

If the Fish Committee, or the
Wall Street bosses are looking for
any Convict made goods" they need
not speak so loud about the Soviet
Union Convict made goods" be-
cause the workers are free over
there, but let them come to the ia
cob and Son and then they will know
where Convict made goods" is
made.
Bosses Have Nightmare.
The bosses here fear the organiza-
ton of the workers. They seem to
have dreadful dreams about the fact
that as soon as the workers here will
organize, the bosses here will have
to pay these workers decent living
wages, give the workers less hours
of work. This, of course, is to be
expected from the bosses. Their
dreams are dreadful now. But let
US workers of the Jacob Shoe or
ganize.
Organized under the leadership of
the Independent Shoe Workers
Union, affiliated to the Trade Union
Unity League and with a Commu-
mist leadership we will be able to
make the bosses allow our demands
for higher wages, lesser hours and
many others. When organized the
bosses will not be able to keep US
in the factory as convicts.

MARINE WORKER UNION
SECRETARY FACES YEAR


NORFOLK, Va, Oct. 9.-Archie
Gibbs, Marine Workers Industrial
Union secretary here, was arrested
today and faces year in the chain
gang if convicted in hostile court.
The fact that he is regularly en-
ployed organizing marine workers
only makes a capitalist Judge more
hostile.
The trial is set for tomorrow
morning. The workers here demand
. postponement to prepare defense.
Gibbs was just released two weeks
ago from 90-day sentence given
him as a result of a frame up by

McKEESPORT, Pave workers

hot summer days and six days q

in a week.
Every Friday the boss would put
notice in the office: just one more
week, workers, just one more week
to work six days in week, and that
lasted all summer. Many workers
were sick and all in from the heat
and the bosses would coax the work
ers to finish the turn. Some of the
workers were so tired and sick that
when they would go home their
heads would be resting on their
chests.
While the Bosses Drag
The bosses and their suckers
would brag how good the tin mill
was working all summer, and going
to work steady in the winter, while
the other mills in McKeesport were
working half time.
The Reward
For shaving all the hot summer in
the hot mill department the bosses
put our reward on the office
window.
This week, September &c, mills
from % to Al shall work during the
week of September 90 to October
8, and mills from 1 to % shall be
laid off that week, and the follow
ing week 1 to % shall work and
the other mills shall be laid off that
week.
Workers, this is the company's
wage cut, but in a different way.
Instead of cutting us they make
us work half time, which is just
as a wage cut of fifty per cent.
They do it this way because it
does not look so openly like
wage cut.

Workers of the McKeesport Tin
Plate Company, wake up and get
wise to yourselves. The only way
we can fight for better working con-
ditions and shorter hours, six hours
a day and the five day week is by
fighting for it under the leadership
of the Metal Workers Industrial
League.
Many Jobless
We have in McKeesport between
three and four thousand workers
unemployed. Every mill in McKees-
port isn't working steady. If you
walk down the streets in McKees-

FIREMAN KILLED

Philadelphia Pa.

Philadelphia Pa.
Daily Worker.
At 8 p. m. on the evening Of
October l, 1880, Fireman Benner,
an employee of the Reading Rail-
road, was killed by the B. & o.
Express at Nicetown Junction, on
the Reading Railroad.
At Nicetown Junction where the
B. & o. trains switch off the New
York branch of the Reading Rail-
road to go out to oath and Chest
nut Streets, there is a very sharp
curve and a steep grade, and the
express trains travel about sixty
miles an hour through there. They
have to pass through the lower end
of Wayne Junction freight yard,
where men are constantly on the
tracks.
For the past two years every
meeting we have had of the local
lodge of the Brotherhood of Rail-
road Trainmen, we have made a
complaint of these conditions to the
superintendent of the Philadelphia
Division of the Reading. and he has
always promised to have an auto
matte whistle or bell installed there
to warn men when there is trair
all the noise that the shifting en-
coming around the curve, for with
gines make it is impossible for
them to hear the trains until it is
almost on top of them, and on &C.
count of this condition there has
been quite a number of men killed
at this point in the past few years.
Nothing Done
But the superintendent has never
done anything toward keeping his
promises. After we saw that the
company did not give damn about
it we put it up to the grand lodge
of the Brotherhood, and we were
told that it would annoy the people
living around there, which is very
thin excuse to cover up the facts
that it would be an added expense
to the company. They would rather
see the workers get killed than to
have to put up anything that might
cost them a few dollars. And now
another man has been killed by
their neglect.
Must Have Real Union
If the railroad workers would or
ganize into union that would see
that all these rotten conditions be
done away with, they would be
much better off and perhaps they
would live longer, for although
few of the deaths are caused by
carelessness of the workers, most
of them are caused by the neglect
of the company to make conditions
better Organize into the Railroad
Industrial Union, affiliated to the
Trade Union Unity League, a union
whose main policy is that the work
ers must come first and to hell

League, 80 North Tenth St., Phila-

great preaching and executive
ability as also for promoting
interest in Bible study.
From the spring of 1899 to
the spring of 1904 the charge
was served by the Rev. II. A. G.
Westerfield, who was noted for
his great pastoral activities and
remarkably good success in
revival work. During his min
istry here weak places were
strengthened and many were
added to the membership of
the church. The work Of the
Lord prospered in his hands.
The succeeding period Of s.
years, 1904-1909, under the
pastoral oversight of the Rev.
J. P. Otis. was a season Of good
success for both the material
and spiritual interests Of the
church. AS an able preacher
and a good pastor his ministry,
resulted in much good to the
church and to the community
as well. In his first year, 1904,
it was decided to hold a Jubilee
and celebrate the Semi enten-
NAL anniversary of the laying
Of the cornerstone of the first
church. A program was ar
ranged and the exercises held
Oct. 8-14 of that year. Brief
addresses were made by Elm
Kirk, Amos R. Brown, Thos. J.
Wilson, and others. The fol-
lowing preachers were present
and took part in the services:
Bishop Cyrus D. Foss, of Phila-
delphia, Pa; Revs. Joseph
Cook, w. G.. Rooms, S. J. Nor
ris, D. D., H. A. G.. Westerfeld.
Vaughn S. Collins, and Alpheus
S. Mowbray, D. D.. the Presid-
ing Elder of Wilmington Dis
trict. The services were of a
very high order and inspira-
tional. The church continued
to prosper during the pastorate
of Brother Otis and at the ex-
piration of his term was in
splendid condition.
The Rev. J. w. Jones was
appointed to the charge in the
spring of 1909, and remained
until the spring of 1911, when
he was removed elsewhere. He
was a quiet, unassAming and
faithful man and preacher,
bringing to pass good results
as the fruits of his ministry
among this people. Under his
pastoral supervision the in.
terror of the main auditorium
of the old church was greatly
improved by q metal ceiling
and other work was done
amounting in all to about
$4,000. He left the charge in

Try to Forget Him

years ago at a dance, and
after that he took me out
every night for two months.
Then we quarreled. He didn't
answer the letter I wrote, try
ing to make up. We meet at
dances, but he pays no atten-
tion to me. I love him. What
can I do?

It seems to me, my dear,
that the best thing you can do
is to forget this boy. Your
acquaintance was very short
and you are both very young.
Evidently he was not in love
and forgive me if / doubt
that you were, either. You are
of a romantic disposition.

yourself to brood upon the at

open the closed acquaintance.
