ADMISSION TO THE HOSPITAL
(Being a recital Of what practical.
ly happens when q man takes any
of his loved ones to the modern
hospital.)
The scene Is a hospital. A woman
has been suddenly stricken and
rushed to the institution. Reserva-
ton OF a room has been made. hi
husband, a responsible business
man, makes the trip to the hos
pitai with her. All human kind
ness, to say nothing Of common
decency, requires that there be no
delay giving the stricken woman
immediate relief from her agony.
There is the usual and perhaps
necessary delay in recording the
case in the admissions office, but
his is only the half of 1t.

now.

the cashier first.

The opposition wants to save ster-

been accentuated already by the
sending of funds abroad by British
capitalists who are attempting as in
the German crisis to save their cap
ital by shipping it abroad.
The fall of the British pound is
not only serious blow. to the British
capitalist system but blow at the
entire capitalist world. This was
clearly pointed out by the Daily
Mail:
"The fall of the pound would not
only mean misery, hunger and ur-
certainty throughout our own coun-
try, but would mean disaster to
Germany, Austria and possibly

SHARPEN SPEED
UP IN WESTERN
ELECTRIC SHOP
Only Organization of
Workers Can Stop
Speed-Up

CHICAGO, Ill, Sept. l5-In the
Western Electric the workers receive
wage-cut after wage-cut but this
cutting Of wages is done in a around
about way. A man is taken from a
higher paing job and transferred to
a department where the wages are
lower. If he objects he is kicked out.
The workers are told if they don't like
it they can get the he'll out"
In the Lathe and Screw machine
works only adult men are left at the
trade, all young workers have been
fired and these adults left are men
who have been at the trade not less
than ten years.
In the Tool and Die the men take
turns on working, the crew is divided
into working one week apiece relay
In other departments a workers
pay is docked if he does not keep
his floor Clean, if he throws scraps
on the floor.
No girls can even wipe the sweat
off their faces, powder themselves
during work, if they do their pay
is dccked.

Electric plant. For this reason the
police, acting under orders OF the
Hawthorne bosses refused a permit
for an International Youth Day
parade and demonstration before the
factory and then broke up the meet
ing when the meeting started without
any permit, After the speakers OF the
Young Communist League were
pulled down the police allowed some
sky pilot missionaries to preach on
the same place.
The bosses are determined to re-
sort to any oppression to prevent the
workers from organizing. Against
the speed-up program of the bosses
the workers Of the Western Electric
must organize. Only by organization
can the workers fight back the ever
increasing speed up Of the bosses and
prevent them from worsening the
conditions ever more. Organize shop

was identified as an employe of the

From the outset, the meeting was
in reactionary hands. Savage intro
duced Ralph T. O'Neil, whose most
striking utterance was: Unrest and
fear are abroad in the land, and the
ranks Of the unemployed are fertile

of our government which we are
