Westinghouse Plant Slashes
Wages; Go Up in Soviet Union
$4,000 Workers in Pittsburgh Get 10 Per Cent
Cut; While All Soviet Miners
Gain 20 Per Cent Raise

Two important wage actions took
place yesterday--one in the Soviet
Union and one in the United States.
In the Soviet Union, wages for all
underground miners are to be in
creased 20 per cent, beginning Feb
ruary 18th. The Supreme Council of
National Economy said this was to
raise the standard of living of the
workers, and is just one step in the
process of constantly increasing the
wages Of the workers.
But in Pittsburgh, in the Westing-
house Electric and Manufacturing
Company's plants quite the reverse
took place. The capitalist owners of
this huge factory, employing $4,000
workers cut wages 10 per cent. To
keep up their profits, the capitalists
unload on the workers, lower their
standard OF living As an excuse, the
workers do not work half day On Sat-
urday any more. They will De speed
ed up the other five days 20 make up
for the lay-off. A lot of the workers
will have to work Saturday too.
This 10 per cent wage cut begin
ming in Pittsburgh will spread to all
other factories of the Westinghouse.

Ryan Walker puts the question right

Due to the fact that large paper

were closed yesterday 1t was not
necessary to make any payments on
bills that are due. However, these
will accumulate for today. These
next few days will be very hard ones
for the management in the Daily

other bank obligations must be met.
Response from the field and close
attention to the appeal to send in

us through.
