At Eisenmann's Magnetic Corp, the

very rotten on the workers.
For nearly a year now these work

of two days a week.
The rotten deal is this: formerly
the shop worker could earn while
working SIS to 65 cents an hour. Now
everybody is on straight work at for
40 to so cents an hour.

Daily Worker:
Here is story of a breach of :
union agreement and a wage-cut
brought about by our boss with tbs
full agreement and cooperation of
the union officials of Carpenters Lo-
cal Union 1913, Beacon, N. y:
Berman Company's Architectural
Woodworking Factory, at Beacon, N.
Y, had five-year agreement with
the Brotherhood Of Carpenters Union
(A,FL) from 1927 and expiring in
December, 1882. The agreement stated
that this scale of wages are to be
So for 8 hours, and if during this
period the carpenters of New York
were to get a raise in wages Bernan
Co. was to raise wages in the same
proportion (sane pereentage). On
this basis the workers in Berman
Company's factory were paid at a
union scale of SAC a week.
Bosses Cut Wages.
Last week, on Jan. Is, the com-
pany announced a wage-cut of Sc a
week. This meant breaking the union
sqreement. Our anger was aroused
and we were ready to fight. More
over, we were sure to win, since the
Job that was to be done was a high-
class tyne Of work, requiring COM
petent, first-class mechanics and it
was being done In place where the
union label was renllired We were
s'nn0sed to meet with the executive
of the local union (3231, but they did
not show up.
We forced upon the officials
srecial reatinq of the local The
nicotine was called. and the matter
brou~ht on the floor. The business
a~ent of the Union renorted that the
conaearv hsd q rieht to cut wsees in
such a tinoe of depression" and that
he realized that it was nerfectly natu-
rel that the workers in the factory
should feel angry; but that all he
can recommend is that those who do
rot want to accept the wage-cut he'd
the full liberty not to go to work.
In the same shirt the chairman
spoke; but when a rank and filler got
up to expose this open sellout he was
told by this same chairman that he
would not be permitted to speak IN
less he proved that he had his citi-
zenship papers. The rank and filler
was told to sit down by knock with
the gavel, and the chairman yelled:
"NeYt Order?"
Well. we workers In the Berman
factory had a lesson. o lesson that
showed that all we could expect from
this A. F. of L. union is betrayals,
In order to fieht against wage-cuts
and all the other evils confronting
us in our trade we will have to join

believe IN god so much that they are
afraid they will lose their pie in the

such pipe dreams myself. But found

Miners Will Fight.
This ball must roll for the mines
here are not running one fourth

pay higher dues than ever before on
the average. And also a big supply

as low as three days the last half

Miners here are grumbling and
some are going to come to a meeting

a foundation for a real union. The
miners are still like a rabbit in

won't come out until the brush pile
is torn away. But when the rabbit
sees his hiding place is just about

Worcorrs: Buffalo. N. Y
On Jan. 26 the metal cody finish
ers, about 40 or so men, of the Pierce
Arrow Motor Co. spontaneously
walked out because the company
speeded up the workers and cut their
wages.
Due to the fact that the men were
disorganized and had no connections
in the other departments they lost
this strike, but they went back to
work with the determination to make
contacts with the other departments
and called meeting Jan. 81.
Buffalo is strategic city and with
all its basic industries, chemical fac

A1nprloge, IA.
Conlrade Editor
I work In the cotton mill of the
National Electric Company.
The conditions here are just as bad
as In other departments. It is es-
pecially bad here because it is so
dusty and the air is filled with cotton
dust.
Most OF the girls here get T.B.
just recently a girl got high blood
pressure and they didn't expect her
TO live.
Many Have L. b.
The doctor said she has quit be-
cause she has too much cotton dust
In her lungs and If she didn't quit
she will run into T. B.
This is the way it works in the
factory. First we get T. B. and then
bhen he can't work any more they
aell us to quit in plain words get out.
There are sprays to spray the air
With water but these sprays don't
work. It doesn't worry the bosses
that we birls get our lungs filed with
cotton dust. We the workers from
the cotton mills must wake UP for
once and get organized.
We have local In our mill Of the
Metal Workers Industrial League but
we must get all the workers in the
plant. With organization we can fight
against these rotten conditions.
