Being Finger Printed.
Just like a criminal every worker
must submit himself to have his
finger prints taken when he is hired
and besides having to go through all
sorts of questions and red tape.
1t is clear that this is being done
in order to weed out all revolutionary
workers, particularly the members of
the Metal Workers Industrial League
and the Communist Party, who are
carrying on a systematic and success
ful campaign to organize all steel
workers for struggle against part time
work. unemployment and low wages
and speed-up in the plant here,
The entire plant works not more
than two or three days week. The
worst condition in respect to part
time work is in the foundry, where
one day a week sometimes even less
than that, has become the order
The wages have decreased from 30
TO 40 per cent i'll the Rolling Mill
and Tin Mill, ON account of rotten
steel, which is being used, and the
closer inspection, which not only
slows down the production but also
throws out all stuff with the least
defect. and SO cutting down heavily
in two ways on the tonnage we get
paid for The rates for light gauge
steel are much too low, so that our
wages decrease 20 to so per cent when
we work on light stuff.
The sanitary conditions in several
departments are extremely bad. For
instance, in the galvanizing depart
ment, where the fumes and the smell
from the acids fill the shop some
times SO thiclkly that you can hardly
see through it, affecting directly the
health of the workers, and there is
no ventilation system.

planned, was to deport the spokesman
of the delegation of the jobless, AL
fred Wagenkneeht.
Bachman's argument is that Wag-
enknecht is wrongly naturalized, can
have his papers taken away, and
has been a fugitive from justice"
because of his way of entering the
country.
Is Citizen,
The facts in the case, facts which
show Bachmans disregard for facts,
are that Wagenknecht is citizen by
virtue of his fathers naturalization,
that he arrived in this country when
i8 months old, and has been here,
voting and all, for the last Al years.
"Why don't we cancel the citizen
ship of some of these aliens and de-
port them out of this country?"
asked Representative Dickstein of
New York, ranking democrat of the
immigration committee.
Representative La Guardia of New
York spoke up naively, and said that
the Fish Committee was doing more
than anybody else to advertise Com
munism and asked, why don't we
give food to the hungry, and work
to the idle, and then we won't hear
anything about Communism" Poor
La Guardia, he Just wanted to en-
barass the administration, but he put
his foot on the tenderest corn Of
capitalism, Work TO the idle and food
TO the hungry is just what it has no
intention of giving in time of crisis.
Business interests are thinking OF
starving the masses into wage cuts
and longer hours and speed-up, of
starving them into the army for the
coming war.

He and his cruising squad saw
a big truck besprinked at Flat

labeled "Pastillian Flour Truck

it and interrogated the driver.
He said he didn't know what
he was hauling; that he had
merely been hired on the East
Side in Manhattan "to drive it

Manus take a peep.
The result was that in sacks
labeled chick oats" bottles la

cred. So the truck and its con-
tents and the driver. who said he
was Louis Roth. of Brooklyn, were
taken to the Bergen Street police
station.
An inventory of the "chick

The Enclosure, which was not

letter, was a clipping from a
newspaper of June 5, in which a
physcologist analyzed the char
acter of Abraham Lincoln in a
commendatory manner, Kane
said.
In the enclosure, Kane said, the
writer of the letter pointed out
that in her opinion Abraham Lin

accused of murder were similar
in that each had tragic and a

Mrs. Kane, the professors wife,
intercepted letters from Miss Dodd
to the educator, and one is in the

cousin said, but other than a
