JERSEY CITY, N. 1.-THE Morgan
Laundry Service Inc, located on All
Johnston Avenue, with branch laun-
dries in New York City. known as
Hudson Laundry at -307 West 20 St.,
and 315 West 41st ST., has the honor
of being worst hated by the workers
who had worked in this plant. The
company here receives their work
from Steamship Cos, and from Rail
road Pullman cars that terminate
in local and nearby stations, and
piers. They take such as towels
table and bed spreads, therefore it
is we'll known to be one of the worst
places to work The workers here
are super exploited and one Of the
lowest paid places to work in this
city. For instance, the women work
6 full days per week (48 hours for
the miserable wage of from 50 to $12
and $14 a week. the men in the
Wash Room work 9-12 and ID hours
a day, especially at the beginning
of the week, for which they get SIS,
$22 and $25 week. But very few
workers get Is dollars a week.
The Whirlwind Speed Up
The way we are driven to work
fast is terrible The boss stands be-
hind the workers the whole day like
a mad dog. The workers must re-

NJ. Ratification Meet To
Expose A. F. OIL. Grafters

the gangsters of the A. F.. of L. no
doubt shared with the bosses of the
Iron League, with whom Brandle
works hand in glove.
Brandle's latest deal involves the
firm of Meltzer Bros, who contracted
for a $50000O apartment job in Jer-
sey City and refused to buy the
building supplies from Brandle. The
NIeltzer bosses claim they would have
had to pay $4,000 more for supplies
if they had done so. The A. F. of l..
racketeers got even, by pulling a
strike on the job, robbing the build
ing trades workers still more who
have been among the hardest hit by
the crisis. Meltzer took the case to
court, where it is still pending, but
in common with the bosses policy
gave in to the racketeers in order to
have the strike called off.
Associated with Brandle are JOS.
F.. Fay, Edw Shinn and James Lar
kin, all of them American Fedora
ton of Labor officials, members of
the International Union of Operating
Engineers. In addition to the mil
lions piled up in graft each year by
these gangsters, these corrupt, faS-
cist labor takers also draw salaries
from the treasury of the union.
Brandle, for example, draws salary
from the union as paid organizer,
while thousands of starving unem-
ployed workers in the trade tramp
the streets desperately looking for
jobs.

A new scandal developed last week
in the ranks of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor officialdom in New
Jersey. In the Building Trades,
notorious for its racketeers, famous
for gangsterism and graft, Theodore
Brandle, organizer of the Iron Work
ers' Union, is now the storm center.
Brandle is also general director of
the bosses Iron League of New Jer-
Sey at the small salary of $4,000 a
year, and at the same time head of
the Hudson Builders Material Sup
ply Corporation, which controls all
building supplies in Hudson County.

itself is fruitful source of graft for

after failing to get DR.. Templeton to

so arranged by Elizabeth that she
placed her ring in Nell's apron pocket
which was lying on the davenport.
Then little later in the presence Of
Mr.. Ryder and Mr.. Moore she and
her mother accused Nell of having

This plot failed because Mr.. Moore
still insisted that he trusted in Nell.
At this thine in the play much
comedy and laughter was created
when Jerry, with the help of Nell,
fastened on his roller skates which
he had just received for Christmas
and was skating around in the room
when his mother and Arabella, the
gossip, came in from the kitchen. That
which made this scene funnier was
the apparent disgust that Jerry and
Nell had for Arabella. Anyway it so
happened that while Jerry, being led

characteristic style he portrayed the
part of the old negro servant through
out the play. This scene proved to
be the unraveling of the plot when
Wandering Tom came into his own
again as owner of The Naples, Nell
was elevated to the position of his
daughter, her acceptance of Mr.. Ryder
and her forgiveness of Mrs. Moore
and Elizabeth. Elizabeth did not get
Mr.. Ryder nor did she wed the min
lister.
Louis Olsen directed the play and
Mrs. c. M. Nelson made up the char
acters. A great deal of credit for the
successful performance of the play
may be given to the untiring and eff
ficient efforts of Hans Mosbak and
the Rev. A. E. Frost, who were stage
directors, arranging the scenes and
making it possible that the actors and
actresses might carry on their parts
without interruption. Miss Sigrid
Jensen prompted and was ever alert
so that no lapse occurred in any
of the parts. The management of the
play endeavored to make the admis-
sion charge within the range of ev-
eryone when only twenty-five cents
was charged for adults. After pay
ing all expenses the sum of $5.75 was
realized as profit which is small in
comparison with the talent displayed.

visitor who sprawled with him onto
the floor.
Wandering Toms Cabin.
One act of the play was devoted
to showing the cabin in which Wan
dering Tom and Nose resided. This
scene also showed the regaining of
Wandering Toms memory. Things
were becoming more clear to him and
came back entirely when Nell, dressed
in her mothers wedding dress, came
into the cabin after having left the
Moore home in grief after she had re-
ceived proposal for marriage from
the master of The Naples and after
being told by Mrs. Moore that he was
not serious and would certainly not
make her his wife since through them
he had learned of her past.
Wandering Toms memory came
back to him and it developed that he
was Nell's father and that he was the
old master of The Naples who had
disappeared after falling over cliff
while mountain climbing in Switzer-
land Is years before. Nose showed his
devoted service to the old master. He
had looked for a gen'man after he
had become in financial straits and
had found just the man he wanted to
serve, in Wandering Tom, even though
Tom had no money. With true and

WHAT'S THE MATTER
WITH OUR COUNTRY?
BY w. J. DARCY

What is really the matter with the
country anyway? We are told it is
a general depression Why should we
suffer from a general depression when
the earth, and particularly the United
States, is producing abundantly? We
have an over-production of food stuffs,
and more gold in our vaults than any
other nation in the world, except pos
sibly France. We are vastly richer in
machinery and all modern convent
ences than any other country in the
world
| can understand how individuals
may, and do, suffer a depression from
bodily ills, even though that person
may have an abundance of everything.
In case like that the body physician
seeks the caGSe in order to effect a
cure. Why not do likewise with the
body politics. 1t should be just as
easy to locate the cause. and cure the
body polite, as it is the human body,
as one is the counterpart of the other.
That is, every organ and limb of the
human body has a like organ and
limb in the body polite.
In order to make this plain, | set
out the following table:
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1931-12-24

Opportunity knocks once at every
mans door, but with a woman it's a
ring, instead of knock, says a care
full observer.
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1931-12-24

Limbs, outer bOdies-TOiiers, executives.
Some of these comparisons may
seem obscure, at first glance, but a
minutes study of their relative tunc-
tions will make them plain. For IN
stance, all will agree that the money
of polite body Ga nation) fills lden-
tically the same place as blood in the
human body. 1t follows, then, that a
poor circulation of money in nation
has the same effect on the polite
body as a poor circulation of blood
does in a human body. 1t not only
causes a general depression of the
entire system, but it leaves the sys-
tenn subject to all kinds of ills.
1t must certainly be plain to the
doctors of this polite body OF ours,
just where the trouble is. But OF
course, they are reluctant about pre-
scribing the real remedy, as they
know very we'll it would be like
physician submitting to a TRANSMISSION
of his blood into a patient.
