Stove League Chatter

INDIANAPOLIS never has had the
i distinction of winning the Hick-
ey cup, awarded each year by T. j.
Hickey, American Association presi-
dent, to the team showing the best
opening day attendance. The new
year looms as the time to bring the
trophy here, and owner Norman A.
Perry of the Indians aims to snare
the prize. Tribe opening day also
will mark the formal and official
dedication of new Perry stadium, and
fan interest right now, more than
three months ahead of the season,
indicates the 1882 lid-lifter will be
an event that will make baseball
history in indianapolis.

official averages we're published
several days ago and the athletes,

received a pretty good idea from
the statistics on how they stand and
how they will fare in salary next
year. Perry and Hendricks will

remain there indefinitely and Hen

GOOD SPIRIT IN
DANBURY STRIKE
Tell Why They Came
Out on Strike

Danbury, Conn.
To the Editor of the Daily Worker:
I am a worker in the fur shops Of
Danbury. l was asked to write about
the conditions that prevail at the
factories. A few of the reasons why
the people are out on strike today are
the hours that we have to work-nine
and one-half is more than we can
rightfully work daily. We only have
one-half hour for lunch, which is not
enough time for any working man.
The machines that some of the
workers have to work on are so dan
gerous that very often many of them
are being injured, some very seri-
ouSly. Then there are other machines
that should have fans to draw away
the waste so that the workers would
not have to breathe it into their sys-
TENS and no doubt cause many ILL
nesses that are quite frequent among
the workers and their families.
The acids which are Used on every
skin are very dangerous to the worker
as they burn right through the clothes
to the skin. The fumes of special
acids get into the eyes of the work
ers and makes the hair red.
The young workers that work in
the fur shops are more liable to harm
from these conditions than the older
workers. Yet there are many of them
doing this work.
Low Wages.
The wages of the workers range
from SIC TO SIS week. Some of
the workers even got less. and the
young workers we're the ones that
got the lowest paid wages. With
these wages it was very difficult to
live. How do the bosses expect the
workers to live when they give them
a 20 to Is per cent cut. The answer
to that cut was given by the workers
when they united and declared a
strike.
The strie has been on now for
more than two weeks. The spirit OF
the strikers cannot be broken. The
way the young workers have been ac-
tive on the picket line, in getting re-
lief, has shown that they are ready
to fight with all their might to get
back the wage-cut.
