500 Buffalo Rubber
Workers G. e t
the Gate
5000 Put Out In N. J.
At Same Time, Speed
Up Is Being Pushed

BUFFALO, N. Y, Dec. 1o.-Just a
few days ago 500 workers at the
United States Rubber Reclaiming Co.
were laid off. The company an
nounced that this lay-off is "only
till the first of the year" At the first
of the year, if the plant opens up
at all, it will be with less workers,
more vicious speed-up, and pos
sibly with cut in pay. That is
the Christmas present for the U. S.
Rubber workers.
When we were working there, we
were only getting paid on the aver
age of 42c an hour. From the min
ute we started work till the end of
the day we were driven like horses,
not even betting lunch period but
just snatching a bite of sandwich
whenever we could. When first get
ting job there, you get finger,
printed and photographed. You know
that is shop can be easily be turned
over for war production, hence the
flngerprinting with its blacknsting
systems of all militant workers.
We've got to get behind the drive
of the Trade Union Unity League
for 100000 signatures for Unem-
ployment relief.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10-That un-
employment in the South is assuming
frightful aspects, is admitted in a re-
port just made by Frank Bane, mem
Der of Hoover's hunger committee,
to ex-police chief Woods, head of
this committee.
Bane reported that because of the
general crisis. the severe drought,
and numerous bank failures, unem-
ployment was especially severe in the
southern states This means, of
course, that the Negro workers and
poor farmers are the heaviest suf-
ferers.
In his report to Woods, Bane COM
planned about the slowness of prom
ised building construction. To this
Woods replied that "the delay was
caused by the length of time re-
quired for site selections, title clear
ance and drawing up of plans and
specifications by federal agents"
Processes of these kind have been
known to take as long as five years

These women, imported from Haiti

This system of white slavery has
developed, side by side with the
growth of American imperiaIistic
penetration into this territory.
Large sugar plantations and mills
have been established by Yankee
sugar concerns, with the National
City Bank having controlling inter-

mills, Negro labor (about 100000 in

cOlIusion with the American sugar
interests and the Cuban government.
Also, the American government it
self, because of its imperiaIistic con-
troll over Haiti and Cuba, is well
aware of this system of prostitution,
but simply winks at the practice.
Negro women are brought by labor
contractors from the islands nearby
Cuba, and virtually told to the men
for such uses as they see fit. Since
the male workers only get $2.4O a
week, even the price of S5 comes too
high for single man. The COM
mon practice is for three, four or five
men to chip in together and pur-
chase a woman between them. She

NEW YORK.-"Coyer your house
and block for signatures" is the
slogan put forward by the New York
4 Campaign Committee for Unemploy
ment Insurance which is throwing
its full energies into the drive for q
million signatures representing the
mass demand of workers everywhere
employed and unemployed for I'M
employment insurance to be taker
out. of the government war fnuda
and taxes on property and income OF
the bosses.
Plans for conferences of employed
and unemployed workers to strength
en- the work of the unemployed and
give impetus to the drive for one
million signatures are now under way
in every city.
In New York, the conference takes
place on December 10 at Irving Plaza.
The New York Capaign Committee
calls upon all workers organizations
to send two or more delegates to the
conference. Organizations electing
delegates should send in their cred
entails to the committee at once.

representation from the unemployed
workers to the conferenc, tn Unnm-
ployed Councils have elected COM

Committee declared today.
Unemployed workers must not be
misled by these attempts Of the labor
fakirS to offer so-called remedies for
unemp oyment when in reality their
plans fit into the schemes of the
capitalists perfectly. AS evidence of
this they are all united to fight the
organization of the unemployed into
Unemployed Councils and the efforts
of the councils to obtain unemploy-
ment insurance to be met by the
bosses and their government. The
insurance" scheme places the bur-
den of unemployment upon the
workers who are expected to con-
| tribute out of their own meagre
wages the funds for the insurance

AWAY FOR 20 YEARS. VISIT NEW BRITAIN
Johnsons Find Many Changes in
 City on Return Here

On their first visit to New Britain in almost 20 years, MT. and Mrs. Anson Johnson of Haines Falls, N. Y, marveled at the changes in the city and doubted that they could find their way about without guide. Accompanied by their son, Anson, Jr., they arrived at the home of their cousin. Elmer Johnson of 412 West Main street, last evening and will return to their home tomorrow.
 Mir. Johnson, who is a pensoner in the local police department, at tended Masonic gathering last night in Masonic Temple, with Lieu tenant Samuel Bamforth, who is also retired on pension, and was pleased to meet a number of old friends, but he was forced to con- ment on the absence, of an even greater number of those with whom he was we'll acquainted while living here.
 Today he and Lieutenant Bam- forth went about the city, through some of the territory which was familiar in every detail when they were patrolmen 30 years ago, but on every corner there were strange buildings and in every store and other places of business were new faces. Riordan's, Long Brothers. Whites, Emmons', Dunlay's, Ross bergs, Anderson S5 Youngblad's, the New York dining room, Sara Munch's St. Marks old church and dozens of other places which made up the city's center have been re- placed.
 MT. Johnson was overjoyed to meet Officer Gustave w. Hellherg, also a pensioner. When in New Britain he lived near Officer He'll berg on Lincoln street, but the low CT end of the street was in virgin state in those days where now fine homes occupy practically every lot.

SPIRI7UALS CALM
 MURDERERS' ROW
Prepare Caroina'S Condemned
 for Electric Chair

Raleigh, N. C., Oct. 31 (UP)- ''Swing Low Sweet chariot, comin' fo' to carry mo home-''
 ''No harm, no harm"
 The strains of these famous south. ern negro spirituals came from the throats of many condemned men ia North Carolina state prison here, before and during the march to the electric chair.
 Religion-mainly southern negro religion = prepares them for their last walk down the narrow con- crete floor and Eternity.
 There are 17 men on Death Row" today. Two of them arc there for safekeeping, as a precau- tion against possible mob violence The others eventually will die ir the old wooden electric chair, time worn after 20 years of service in 106 electrocutions, unless the su- preme court or executive clemencv saves them.
 harvey Lawrence, young negro who recently was electrocuted for first degree burglary, led the Death Row" songsters on his last day of life. With Lawrence car rying the lead, 15 other voices joined in singing No harm, no ham,, a negro hymn. A few minutes later Lawrence was le1 away and the rows" population had decreased by one.
 Religion, as expounded by negro ministers soothes the nerves of condemned blacks. They meet death calmly, often with a smile and chanting, or reciting parts of the Bible or hymns.
