CLEVELAND, O.-The Cleveland
car men are going to write a series
of articles to Labor Unity exposing
some of the misleaders at the head
of Division 1853. There are about 500
car men working at this station

and conductors in the city.
We have been working under the
worst conditions in the past year Our
board member Frank Uhler and Harry
Kessler have fooled us long enough
and we must demand justice to all
car men.
Uhler is Mayor of Newberg Heights
at a salary of about $1,000 and is also
conductor on the cars, and as board
member he gets 8 days pay for col
lecting dues on two days and we have

each pay day for collecting union and
sick club dues, under section 10 of our
general and bylaws he is not allowed
to collect the sick club dues as sew
eral members of the sick club are not
members of Division 1853, but as he is
a real faker he gets $4,000 per year
out of collecting for the sick club.
Some of the extra men at this sta
ton were not drawing as much per
week as Uhler did in one collection
day, but he would get up at our meet
ings and say to hell with the extra
men, they don't want to work and
they talk with non-union members
and play pool with them, but of
course he did not mention the fact
that he was collecting sick club dues
from these same men.

show that Hoover's statement that he
pays high wages to those working for
the government is bologna.
In other places in New Jersey these
things happen. For instance, in Par
olin the Duponts laid off 35 workers
last week. The Carborundum plant
laid off all their machinists. The
Federal Teracatta shut down their
cable works in Perth Amboy, N. j.
Ten per cent wage cuts we're handed
out along with the city firing 700
workers. No funds was the excuse of
Mayor Dorsey when the workers de-
manded the reason for this action
taken by the city officials, yet the
capitalist paper Perth Amboy Even
ing News Of that town gave the false
report that work is picking up.
The workers here have refused to
believe the statements Of these off,
Gals and have organized Unemployed
Councils. More and more workers Of
New Jersey are beginning to realize
the need for organization, and are
joining these councils.

productive forces in the Soviet Union
are developing rapidly and ceaseless-

masses are steadily improving; un-

the contradiction between town and

On the other hand, the whole Of the
capitalist world is writhing in the
throes of an unexampled economic
crisis.
During the past ten years the
State Planning Commission was the
