ELDORADO, Ill.-The bosses are
very hard on the miners about lay
ing off two days. They are getting
so that they won't recognize a doc
tors certificate for being sick. This
should be done away with, for when
you get doctor to sign it, it costs
money. Doctor bills are very high
around mining camp, SO for day
trip and SIS for night visit.
In some mines, such as in Frank
lin county and mines in other parts,
the miners use battery light. The
light weighs from 7 to II pounds,
and is worn around the waist. This
puts pressure on the kidneys and
makes man weak in the back. The
acid that comes from the battery
make awful bad sores, which a big
majority Of the miners have.
Where the bug light is used the
miners are not aired enough. This
cuts down expenses for the coal
company. There have been some
bad accidents where the bug lights

bosses preach safety first to US
workers, but it is impossible for a
worker to watch for his own safety
under this rotten speed-up that we
have to work under.
The scrap boys here lost their
jobs, as some of the company engi-
neers invented a patent that will re-
quire no scrap boy to bundle and
lift the scrap into the boxes. These
young boys received lower wages
than the adult workers.
The shearsmen and openers work

PARIS, Feb. 2.--Alexander Ker-
ensky, the misplaced Napoleon and
one Of the famous failures of his
tory, is busy here uniting all forces
both socialist" and monarchlst,
which seem to get along so amiably
on a common program against Boil

Kerensky who spent some time
turning flap-jacks and washing
dishes before the socialists" be-

for Imperialism, has now blossomed
out as a lobbyist in the French
! chamber of deputies. His chief func-
ton seems to be bringing more COM

and the Socialists" In the lobby
of the chamber recently he spoke

that instead of protesting against
relationships in Spain or Italy, you
should interven against the worst
dictatorship of all--Sovietism."

Chevrolet in Buffalo Rushes Through Wage
Cuts and Speedily

Workers now work an average of
10 hours a day and the speed-up is
increased to such an extent that
many workers quit their jobs, due to
their inability to keep up with the
speed of the machine.
Whenever worker protests
against these rotten conditions the
boss Immediately threatens him
with the fact that thousands of
workers are waiting outside to take
his job.
The conditions are such that there
is quite big movement among the
Chevrolet workers to organize and
to fight back the attitude of the
bosses. All Buffalo auto workers
should get together and organize
shop committees which will become
strong auto workers union local.

A statement issued by District

was held, said:

NEWARK, N. J.-Because an I'M
employed worker refused to look in
to the eyes of a private employment
agent, he was beaten about the face
and body and forced out of the
office.
The worker applied for a job at
the Mutual Employment Agency at
230 Market St., Newark, N. J. The
employment agent demanded that
the worker look into his eyes when
he talks. Before the worker could
answer he was hit in the face and
body by the employment agent and
forced out of the office.
The other unemployed workers re-
sented this action and expressed the
opinion that they will not go to this
agency any more.
The unemployed workers should
get together, organize into unem-
ployment councils Of the Trade
Union Unity League and demand
the adjustment of private employ
ment agencies and establish free
employment agencies under workers
control and administration. HIS.

BUFFALO, N. Y.-The Chevrolet
Co. and the Fisher Body, which
have two plants in Buffalo, are car
rying through the wage cuts and
speed-up with full speed. Just
lately the Chevrolet company has
fired nearly all the workers, and
after few days rehired them again
under new working conditions. A
worker in the Chevrolet company
prior to this event received 81 cents
an hour. This in itself was a cut
in wages in comparison with the sit
uation a year ago, where worker
got 60 to 70 cents per hour or even
more.
The company rehired number
of workers on piece-work, and the
average earnings of a worker now
is less than So day.

Lahore, India, December 20.


Dear Comrade Editor:
At present / wish to give you a
report of the Indian Youth Confer
ence held here December 26 and ~.
The most significant thing is that
the conference was held at the same
time and place as the All-India Ma
tional Congress, and they had to
apply to the Congress Committee to
lend them a tent for their confer
ence, which was promised. They
calculated on big crowd and origi-
nally acquired large tent to hold
about 5000 people. But on the last
day before the conference the Con-
gress Committee, as it seems, tried
to hinder their program and allotted
only a small tent.
1t was a spectacular occasion to
witness the big crowd of people, old
and young, sitting on the ground so
close together that it was impos-
sible for one to move. And not only
was the ground under the tent
filled, but the crowd extended about
rs feet outside the tent, and large
circle of people standing up still
further out behind the mass sitting.
Comrade Mrs. A. C. N. Nambiar,
PRECEDENT of the Conference, deliv-
cred an Grafton upon the importance
of the Indian Youth to be on guard
particularly at the present moment
when the leaders Of the National
Congress are attempting to veil the
eyes of the masses with Dominion
Status" and make them believe that
that is the road to liberty. Even
complete independence, she said, will
not free the laboring class and peas
antry from the exploitation of the
Indian landlords, princes and CAPT
talists. The establishment of
Workers and Peasants Government
only, is the means of bringing about
the emancipation of the masses.
The next days session was over
whelmed by the crowd, which not
being able to enter inside the ropes
broke through the barriers and it
took a long time until order was
able to be established.
This session was to draft resolu-

were used. Old Ben at West Frank
ford lost seven men; Peabody 18
lost about 20 men lately in explo-
sions.
On some of the machines the coal
leaders get cents on the ton more
than some men get on other ma
chimes. These men all pay the same
dues, but the one per cent. Just as
much supply bill and the same
amount of cars and just as hard to
load. This difference should not be,
as it keeps the men divided. Only
through the N.M.U. can we win our
demands.
