The coal companies in the BIZ
Sandy field are similar to those in thu
Ky. Piver field-they only take about
a third off the men at the scales
Where, oh where are those scale in
spectors that capitalism is supposed
to send around to see that labor getc
a square deal?
Unemployment Gains.
Unemployment is rapidly increasing
in Ky, We have quit trying to esti-
mate the numbers, we only try to
count those that are still employed
Cor part time employed-only sal
aried men are fulltime workers. it
is so much easier. I would say some
thing about some fraud suits against
tn ecounty Officials-but, oh shucks,
that is all one can read about now.
Everybody politically is trying to get
out with all they can. A bankrupted
government is not much Of q tempt
ing thing, that is as a permanent
source Of revenue. The great drop
in the federal revenue is proof that
cost of government is getting too big
for the -belIedn capitalists.
Organizing.
In conclusion let me persuade you,
dear reader, that it's high time that
we put our biggest foot forward-and
don't pull it back even if you lose a
toe. I am making preparations to
establish a Daily Worker Club at
Hueysville, KY. Maybe one at Gar
rett also. And in the meantime I am
ever working on the masses from a
union and a political angle. Every
body is luke warm and many red hot
If all you workers and sympathizers
will get that big foot forward in
stead of stagnating something would
happen right away.
We are, of curse, RAPIDLY increas-
ing organizationally, faster, far fast
er than one would have thought. But
we have only begun-one never

improving every day. l am sure that
I could not ge$ used to the working
conditions in America any more. The
working conditions also show signs of
exceeding the American standard. I
believe that in two years time people
in the Soviet Union will live BETTER
than they ever did in the U. S. A.
And these people know how to live
well. They try to spend all their
money for life. No one ever dreams
of saving money.
Plans Vacation
am planning to travel around on
my vacation when it comes-Oct. to
16. AS a worker I can travel around
very cheaply. For instance to the
Ural Mountains and return, visiting
all places, will cost me only rs rubles.
1t takes ten days by train, which in
cIudes food and a place to sleep. I
can go where I please. Indeed 1 can
not say that I ever planned vaca-
ton in America as I am doing here
Here every worker does. Every man
and woman have a plan for their
vacation. Everything goes according
to schedule as far as possible. Some
German workers went to Berlin by
airplanes. 1t took them IL hours.

A. F. of L. Helps Bosses Cut
Wages of Railroad Workers

the A. F. of l.. heads are working for
the big railroad capitalists.
AT our last union meeting one of
the big shots of the A. F. of L. stated
that we were going to get 10 per
cent wage cut-instead of getting $36
week we will now get s26. Last
week all the capitalist papers stated
that 1000 workers were put to work
on the N. Y Central. That very same
day over 1000 we're fired.
The capitalists with Crocodile
Green and Rummy Vol cannot fool
the railroad workers much longer. We
will pay them back soon, believe me.

the A. F. of L. Let us all join the

Rubber Works Lays
Off Old Workers
(By a Worker Correspondent

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.-The G. and
j. Rubber Works has developed
new technique for firing It's aged
employees. The office has not the
CUTS to fire a man outright-that is,
face to face, so they lay him off with
gracious words and sweet consola-
ton.
When the worker gets home there
is letter awaiting him. Yes, fellow
workers, it's complete letter of rec
ommendation to other bosses stating
that the worker was let go through
no fault of his own, that he was a
fine worker, etc.
Lately many of the aged workers
were fired in this way to make room
for youngsters who must work for
so per cent less. Many of these have
been with the company for II to 20
years.

Edgewater, N. J.
Dear Comrades:

EdgeWater, N. j.
Dear Comrades:
Recently read an article attack
ing Henry Fords methods. Not
only does Henry Ford strive for prof
its" said the article, but also to
show his power over the workers in
the factories" The article also
stated he was going too far by or
dering his workers to build home
gardens and raise vegetables for
home consumption.
Power! To place an iron hand
over the workers. To draw out the
last ounce of strength from human
beings. That, fellow workers, is
what Henry Ford is trying to do.
To substantiate my statement I
have my own experiences to relate
while working for the honorable"
Mr.. Ford
We are told to come to work at
am. We wait half an hour for the
conveyers to start. At $3.50 the
pusher notifies us that it will take
another half hour for the conveyers
to warm up. Thus we are kept wait
ing, losing time and working doubly
fast without a moments relief till
the 8-hour day is over. We do not
get paid for the time we are forced
to wait. We spend many extra
hours weekly in the plant for which
we get no pay. hope soon to see
Mr.. Ford and his satellites soon
buried under the already tottering
structure of capitalism.

KOkOmO Unemployed
Build New Council
lBv a Worker Correspondent

KOKOMO, Ind. - An Unemployed
Council was organized here on Sept.
8. The meeting, being the first one,
was exceptionally well attended and
the response amounted to a large
signed membership.
All the workers listened attentively
to the spirited address Of Comrade
Nat Ross. He was assisted in the
meeting by Comrades Lewis and Nc
Cormick-all from Indianapolis.
From the discussion that followed
it was agreed BY those in attendance
that the council was a very much
needed force for the unemployed in
Kokomo. 1t is the intention of the
council to hold a meeting every week
and build a real revolutionary fight
ing spirit among the workers. We
are very much encouraged.

CHILDREN SLAVE

Amesbury Shops
Amesbury, Mass.

AIIleSpuy, MASS.
Daily Worker:
The conditions here in Amesbury
are bad for the workers as they are
everywhere else. This has been an
auto body town, but the principle
concern, the Biddle and Smart Co.,
who used to employ as many as 5000
in rush times has been entirely shut
down for two years. They built
bodies for the Hudson company.
The other concern is nearly as
bad, only a few working there. Then
there are few shoe shops here and
the conditions in them are rotten.
They are all scab shops employing
children for wages as low as so to go
cents day while their fathers and
mothers remain jobless-
People on the Welfare Department
work for the town for three days a
week and are paid in groceries in
stead of money. There are many
signs Of dissatisfaction and we are
confident 1t will grow more as time
goes on. 80
I am trying to point out the cor
rect way to the workers to struggle
and I find that most of them are
interested. For instance heard two
fellows talking. One said, IF condi-
tons continue this way we will have
TO do like they did in Russia" The
other one said, That's right, but /
hear that they can only get shoes
once a year." Then I explained to
him how the production Of shoes is
rapidly increasing being $1,000 10000
last year and still ON the increase
and that the workers use the goods
that are produced In the Soviet
Union. whereas in America the
workers have no money to buy shoes
The worker agreed with me that the
workers in the Soviet Union were
better off than in capitalist coun-
tries and said that 1 could count or

saw many things that are new
to me in this hospital. The patients
are not kept like prisoners, as is the
case in the U. S. A. Everybody is
dressed just like the doctors in white
robes. Everything is so orderly and
sociable. The attention each patient
gets is very remarkable. The patients
themselves tell you this. Every ward
is a separate building and takes care
of separate cases. It's quite con-
trast to the hospitals in the United
States where every patient would like
to run home. Here it is a pleasure
TO be in hospital. Even though the
present hospitals are not crowded,
the government is building more new
ones.
