Burden On Workers.
Several months ago they let us vote
on whether they should lay off the
newest operators or they rather
urged us to each one take day off
every once in a while in order to
keep the full force on, thus placing
all the burden on the workers. The
company officials weren't worried
about the poor operators who would
lose their jobs-no, they were look
ing out for their own good so that
during the holiday season when they
are rushed they would have the ready
trained speedy operators to handle
the business.
They said they had II extra
people on hand-but why? The
newest operator is almost 2 years
in the service and some leaving all
the time. Here why in every
branch Office that had operators
they put i'm the automatic machines
with only operators. Then that
wasn't enough, they took one oper-
ator out and now, one girl does the
work three did before. The same

were the bosses relations and friends
remained at work, although none OF
them was citizen.
No Overtime Paid.
Some times they make us work
overtime, but on pay day we do not
get paid for it. -Four months ago
two workers had to work two hours
overtime, but after a struggle with
the bosses they got paid for one hour
at single time. At the Jay Street
Subway station there are the main
holes, some about 6 feet deep. They
are filled with water, there is no
protection at all from them, and there
is no light, so everybody falls into
them, Workers get hurt, and lose
their jobs because while they are at
home, sick, somebody else gets their
job.
This company has another big job
on Fulton Street. Over there the
workers are paid less and those who
get laid off from Jay Street, when
they go to ask for a job on Fulton
Street, are paid and 10 cents less
per hour. 1t is hard to get anything
ii you don't know some of the bosses:
for example, some carpenter citizens
were transferred from Jay Street to
Fulton Street but after a few weeks
all were laid off with the excuse that
they were working too long, and so
the bosses have to hire the unem-
ployed ION the stagger SYSTEM But
what do we find? The other day, a
Norwegian by the name of John Mel
son, non-citizen, was laid off from
Jay Street and was rehired here on
a Fulton Street job. Why? Because
this man works more than a mule,
and speeds other workers and never
kicks no matter how hard and dirty
the job given to him is.
Workers! white and Negro, citizens
and foreign born, it is about time to
wake up and unite to fight the COM
mon enemy the boss, by joining the
Trade Union Unity League at ID West
2lst Street! Form a powerful union
so as to be able to get what is coming
to us.

(By a Worker Correspondent

(By a Worker Correspondent
CHICAGO, Iil.-Chicago Associa-
ton of Commerce announced yes
terday that 1880 estimates based
upon census figures show that the
city's population was made up of
692,064 married women Is years old

been made to publish the number of

a rough estimate Of 100000 jobless
women in Chicago ID years and over.
Under Estimation.
This is probably an under estima-
ton of the total when we know that
the tendency is to shift the burden
Of the crisis to the shoulders of the
women. The slogan of the bosses
in this crisis, when giving out char
ity, has been women and children
first. What has really happened is.

broken up, husbands forced out to
the street or jail. wives and daugh-
tiers forced to look for jobs
Charity crumbs have brought
forth reinforcements TO the jobless
army. The jobless women, from my
experience in investigating condi-
tions at relief stations and charity
centers here, prove one thing-the
women are today the most militant
workers to be found at the charity
centers. Negro and white women in
charity centerS and in hospital elm
les are making common cause OF
protesting from time TO time.
Hundreds of Evictions.
When the neighborhood councils
unite the protest of these workers
against the fake Enmerson's relief
commission, against the Cook County
bureau of public welfare and the
united charities, drawing in the
united support of the employed
workers, then there can be but one
answer-immediate cash relief at the
expense of the bosses. or mass revolt,

New York, N. Y.
Daily Worker:
I have some information that
might enlighten the workers as to
tho ways of the Salvation Army. The
captain of the Brooklyn Salvation
Army doesn't care much about the
poor.
Tickets have been given out at
the Federation of Churches about a
month, which are supposed to be ex-
changed at the Salvation Army head
quarters for flop house bed tickets.
Every Sunday at 10 a. m. meet
ings are held which last till 1890.
In order to get a meal on Sunday
we must attend these meetings. At
ter waiting on line for three hours,
we have to run to be on time for
these meetings.
Gives Sermon
Well, at the last meeting. the cap
tain gave us what was supposed TO
be sermon. He chided these unem-
plcyed workers for not getting job,
and for depending on charity Or
CARNATIONS for food. He said that
we had no right to have a meal if
we had no bed tickets. This was a
fine Sunday morning service for the
hungry unemployed. The captain is
supposed to be sent from god If
this is what god" sends, there is
no credit to be given him.
The captain has also installed
three machine guns in case a riot
starts This is how the Salvation
Army takes care of the needy.

500 More Laid Off
At Ford Motor Co.;
Detroit Sheets Lie
Murphy SaysThat Flop
Houses Get Empty
Another Lie ~
Detroit, Mich
Dear Editor:

Detroit, Mich
Dear Editor
Just a few lines to let you know
that last Friday March 18th. 800 meu
were laid off at the Ford Motor Co,
in the motor assembly department
with a promise of more to get the
air pretty soon and it is Useless for
anyone to go out there looking for
work gecause they have mounted cops
to chase you away. And to look at
the damn place one would thing it
was a camp ground.
They had piece of news in the
papers here telling the people that
business was picking up and as for
proof they said that over 200 men
had left the flop joints to go to work.
But the real reason was the flop
joints were so damned lousy that they
couldn't stand it any longer.
So you see dear Editor We, have
some mayor here that can solve UNI
employment. So all he has to do is
to stir up all the lice or put more
there and all the boys will leave and
the mayor will say the flop joints in
Detroit are empty and there is no
unemployment -,-.-
If anyone came here on a sight
seeing tour they would see more
empty stores than anything else.
P. S. Editor, I noticed that when
we have demonstrations here and
owing to the large crowds in attend
ance it is impossible to hear the
speaker talk and lots of people leave
without knowing what it is all about.
And that should not be, at o. time
like this when people are willing to
listen. So in order to let the people
hear the speaker why wouldn't it be
good idea to get a megaphone so as
to throw the sound so all can hear
plainly and the speaker wouldn't have
to shout and get hoarse.
