CHAPTER FORTY-TWo


MY names Mason" the other
man volunteered. Fired Mason. I
live in Somerset. The young lady
seems to have hurt her foot badly
and I think she ought to get to a
doctor"
Are you hurt, Mrs. Wallace?"
Gibson demanded, for the first time
showing interest in the girl.
TITS my ankle. The left one,
Il she told him Otherwise
guess I'm all right"
You'd better let me take you two
into Forest City" Mason suggested.
You'll have to have help with that
car anyhow. Looks to me like bad
smash-up."
Looks like a wreck all right, "
Gibson agreed. Tn Frank Gibson,
Mr.. Mason, and this is Mrs. Wallace.
IF you could take. her back to
town and let me off at the nearest
farm house it would certainly be a
big favor. I can telephone the
garage and get some one out here
before dark"
Mason nodded. 90. K. with me- .
he said The two men climbed into
The front seat of the touring car
and Mason started the engine.
In ten minutes they drew up be-
side farm house. Gibson walked
TO the door and knocked. A moment
later some one answered. He waved,
signaling the other to go on, and
entered the house.
Gypsys foot was throbbing. At
every jerk and jolt as the car
moved along she clenched her fists
and tried to keep from crying out.
Tears came into her eyes and she
did not bother to brush them away.
Sometimes the pain was too great
she could not help moaning.
AS they neared the city limits
Mason turned. Where do you want
me to take you, Mrs Wallace?"
I'D like to go to my own home"
she said, and gave him the address.
Don't you think you'd better
stop at a doctors Officer"
mo, thank you. All l want is to
get home!" She leaned back and
closed her eyes. If only this would
prove to be a nightmare! If only
she could open her eyes and find
that the hideous afternoon had
been a dreaml
TT was not a dream. The pain in
Il her foot told her that. She looked
out and discovered that the rain
had stopped. Dusk was gathering.
It must be nearly o'clock.
This the placer" Mason asked,
slowing the car before brick
dwelling.
mo. The next house. There's a
driveway leading in"
A moment later the car halted.
Mason got out, but before he had
reached the porch the front door
opened Jim Wallace appeared.
who is it you wanted to see?"
Jim asked. He looked at the car.
Gypsy" he exclaimed excitedly
What's happened? What's the mat
ter?"
Mrs. Wallace was in an acct
dent" Mason explained. II came
along a few minutes later and she
asked me to bring her here.
I'm afraid one of her ankles may
be broken or badly sprained. You'd
better call a doctor"
Jim Wallace rushed past him.
"Tell me what happened, Gypsy, "
he demanded.
"It's-nothing, jim. III be all
right
He helped her from the car. his
arm around her. For an instant
she steadied herself against him,
looking up into his face.
IT'S nothing" she repeated in a
weak voice. Immediately she

The girl shook her head. 81 know

you see, something happened this
afternoon. mean before I met Mr..
Gibson.
II was talking to Abbie Manley
and she told me about seeing you
at the Pine Grove inn last Monday
with Marcia Phillips"
"At the Pine Grove inn? Gypsy,
I tell you you're out Of your headI
l haven't been any place with Mar
cia Phillips. Did Abbie Manley tell
you yarn like that"
Gypsy sighed. 81 told you it was
going to be hard to explain" she
said. "Abbie didn't mean to make
trouble. She saw you and thought
/ was with you. I didn't even let
her know it wasn't I.
She said something about me
having a blue dress and that's how
I knew it must be Marcia"
"But, good God!-I tell you I
didn't have lunch with Marcia. I
haven't even seen her all week! I'll
let Abbie Manley know what I
think Of spreading stories like this %
Don't Jim! Abbie didn't mean
any harm. I tell you she thought
we were together. She still thinks
SO. Only you must have been there.
She said you were facing her and
the girl had on blue dress"

w he repeated musingly. Lets
see, where did I have lunch on
Monday?" He frowned slightly.
Suddenly light seemed to dawn.
Il know!" he exclaimed. "Of
course. I was with Bill Brecken-
ridge and we went to the Pine
Grove inn. Breckenridge always
eats there. After we had ordered
his wife came in and joined us. She
must have had on blue dress.
Il don't remember that. But it's
odd Abbie couldn't have noticed
there was another man at the
table,
Maybe she did. She didn't say
anything about that though. Oh,
Jim, then it wasn't Marcia!'
The girls voice died almost to a
whisper. She was very pale and
her dark eyes seemed to grow larger.
They looked at each other and
in that steady gaze many things
seemed to be said.
1T wasn't Marcia" Jim repeated
after her. $50 that's why you de-
cided to go away?"
A bit shamefacedly Gypsy nodd-

''Is that why you went for a

Another nod. And like sunshine

Both Of them laughed. ''You won't

Jim asked.

there were tears in her eyes.

Newark LID. Leads
Mass Protests, Wins
Release of Workers

NEWARK, N. J.-Mass protest led
by the International Labor Defense
forced the release of seven of the
ten workers arrested at an unem-
ployed meeting, here, February II,
$3.50. The charges was sedition and
on these charges the other three
workers were framed last year and
Jailed.
The bosses judge, Brennan, con-
stantly overruled the objections of
the I. L. D. lawyer, Isserman, against
the attempts of the states attorney
to prejudice the jury by bringing in
the "red scare.'
The capitalist court thought that
by failing these three militant work
ers they would terrorize the Newark
workers from any further meetings
but they found that it only inten-
sified the movement of the workers
who held mass meetings for the re-
lease of the other seven. The states
attorney said in court when the
workers were freed that he could
prove his charges, that is he could
frame the workers, but it was futile
because it didn't stop them anyway.

Now we are only working part
time, one or two days a week and
the company makes enormous money
from our sweat and blood. Many of
the Jobs are very dangerous and If
you don't watch yourself, it is easy
to lose an arm or a leg. We have
to stay and slave on the machines II
or 10 hours day and if you want to
go and get drink Of water, the
boss is right after you. We have to
come to the shop every day, get
ready, put our overalls on and then
stay and wait for the boss, and most
of the time he tells us to go home,
there is no work and come tomor-

These workers have organized a
grievance committee to lead the
struggle against the worsening of
their conditions by the bosses and
they are organizing further so that
all the workers will be rallied for
the struggle for better conditions,
against wage cuts and speed-up.

ADMIT US TERROR
AGAINST TOILERS
q. S. Attorney Says
Militants Deported

NEW YORK.-Condemn the de-
portation practices Of the Depart
ment of Labor as medieval and
arbitrary" James c. Thomas, former
Assistant United States District At
torney, in charge of deportations,
yesterday declared that it is the
duty of the most intelligent section
of the population to speak up and
act against the narrow, short-sighted
and un-American policy being pur-
sued by the government"
Thomas statement, which was
made in letter to the National
Committee for the Protection of the
Foreign Born, SO Union Square,
pointed to the Wickershain report on
deportation as ample proof that
abuses which he found as Assistant
United States Attorney, were wide
spread.
Thomas was chiefly concerned with
Secretary Of Labor Doak's apparent
determination to abrogate the right
of asylum for political refugees in
the United States, He pointed to
Doak's refusal to permit voluntary
departure for Guido Serio, T. H. Ii,
Edith Berkman and others who are
now facing deportation.
"These persons" Thomas admits,
will be sent tn Governments which
will execute them as political Of
tenders or condemn them to long
Jail sentences.
"The only ofense of these, and
other candidates for deportation, .
Thomas declared, 'is that they led
strikes Of engaged in other political
activities which are distasteful to the
Department. of Labor"

REFUSE AID FOR
STARVING KIDS
IN PATERSON
Mobilize Protest On
Sept. u For Free Food
For Children

PATERSON, N. j., Sept. 3.-Head
officials in the Board of Education
and Board of Health in an interview
today refused to take responsibility
for the hunger which exists among
workers children in this city. Al
though they conceded the possibility
of hunger of strikers and unemployed
workers children increasing this year,
they all stated that no plans or eff
forts would be made to feed hungry
children in the schools, A head
nurse at the Board of Health denied
that there were any cases of under
nourishment in the schools last year,
but stated that if such case shousd
arise this year, they would have to
send the child to the hospital"
The expense item for milk at City
Hospital of Paterson has been cut in
the 1881 budget to only $500 from
$4,000 of 1890 This is despite the
fact that increased numbers of,
workers are hungry, and are becom-
ing sick as a result.
AS an answer to the brutality of
the city authorities the Young Tex
tile Pioneers of Paterson are holding
a mass rally on Saturday, September
s. at the Turn Hall, Ellison and
Cross Streets, where a demand will
be made to the Board of Education
to prepare for the feeding of the
children of jobless and striking
workers in the schools. The Pioneers
of the National Textile Workers
Union are preparing an interesting
program of plays, songs, acrobatics,
music and refreshments, and the adj
is free All striking and I'M
employed workers are urged to send
their children to the rally, and are
also invited to attend themselves.
Preparations are going rapidly
forward for the demonstration before
the Board of Education which will
take place on Saturday, September
IL, when the workers of the city and
their children will reinforce the de-
mand for free food with their pres
ence in the picket line to be formed
at City Hall. All workers organiza-
tons are being modified in order
to make this the biggest demonstra-
ton in the course of the present silk
strike.

MEET ON SUNDAY
DESPITE LAWS
Council Cheered A S
Preacher is Routed

Despite police interference against
any other except religious meetings
on Sunday the Downtown Unem-
ployed Council has held meetings on
two successive Sundays. At each one
the workers rallied around the speak
ers and kept the cops from breaking
up the meetings. Crowds of workers
gather around the speakers anxious
to hear the announcements of the
capitalist system and militantly re-
spending to calls of fighting for re-
lief.
Showing how class conscious the
workers are becoming, last Sunday
at 18th Street and Avenue A a preach
er of the Russian Baptist Church
who comes regularly each Sunday to
feed dope to the workers, was pulled
off his open air pulpit-platform when
he tried to tell the Russian workers
OF the neighborhood to pray for re-
lief and prosperity. Cops came to
help him continue the meeting but
tne workers continued booing, the
preacher finally was forced to come
down. The Downtown Unemployed
Council with its headquarters across
the street at 1874 East 7th, came out
with their platform and the workers
began cheering even before the speak
ers addressed them. Two thousand
workers gathered around the plat
form, before the meeting was over
they showed their understanding and
solidarity by buying so Labor Unities
and contributing $40 to defray the
expenses of the council. Later in the
evening there was an open forum at
the council on the question, THE
Unemployed Worker and His Prob
lem" Hundreds of workers from the
neighborhood participated. The coun-
Gil will continue the Sunday meetings
supported by the workers.

ANACONDA WORKERS IN HASTINGS
TELL OF SPEED-UP BY COMPANY

On August 16 and II the worker
in the rod department Of the Ana
conda Wire and Gable Co. OF Hast
ings-on - Hudson went on strik2
against a wage cut Because Of the
absence of sufficient organization
work the workers were unable to
spread the strike throughout the
plant. The workers are determined
to organize further to beat back the
attempt of the company to cut wages
and speed them up still more.
In Yonkers, which lies below Hast
ings the workers of the Otis Elevator
Co. are also organizing to fight back
the attack of the bosses, In order
that these workers of the Otis Eleva-
tor company should know Of the rea-
sons for the strike, the workers of
the Anaconda plant sent the follow
ing story of their conditions to the
Otis workers.
From 1929 the bosses forced on us
workers different forms of speed-up
and replaced many workers with
new machinery, also forcing upon us
the bonus system, which is worse
than anything else. In 1929 we were
working on the so-called Baldwin
machine. 1t took 4 men to work on
it to make 900 size wire, $4,000
pounds for 1890 hours. In 1880 they
put new machines in and one man
was forced to operate two of these
machines and to produce this size
wire 900 from $4,000 to $4,000 pounds
for 1890 hours of work. In 1929
braizers used to braize on one ma
chine from 10000 to 10000 pounds
and now in 1881 the braizers must
braize from 10000 to $4,000 pounds
of fine wire.
IN 1929 four men worked on two
furnaces, each furnace having two
braces to reheat, the wire most of the
time being fine wire. One coil used
to weigh from 20 to 60 lbs. They
used to reheat from II to 16 furnaces
in 13 hours. In 1881 one man is
working in the place of 4 and reheats
coils which weigh from 200 to 325 lbs.
and also has to reheat the spools
which weigh from $50 to 700 lbs,
makes from 10 to IA furnaces in 13
hours. This means that he has to
lift about rs pieces, which weigh
from $50 to 700 lbs.
you can see what kind of tor
ture we have to go through, lifting
rs pieces that weigh from $50 to
700 lbs.
In 1929 we were getting from AZ
to 81 cents an hour. Beginning with
1880 they started to cut our pay and
lay off the helpers. Now we have
no helpers and our wages are cut to
the bone. We have to do three or
four times as much work as we used
TO. Everyone has to start work 5 or
10 minutes before the time, and there
