Hound Workers; Use

NEW YORK-All employees on the
Greyhound Bus Lines are going to
be cut 10 per cent on Jan. l. This
company is treating its employees
very harsh, and they terrorize them
in all sorts of ways.
About week ago a driver was
discharged for taking his mother, sis

few miles on the Albany division. At
the time there happened to be a
company rat on board. He evi-

discharged. He was a very courteous
driver and carried gold button for
good driving and no accidents.
The dispatcher at the Capitol Ter

a very slight mistake, which anyone
could make.
Any small scratch on bus causes
the loss Of the drivers job. No ex-

where l work. The company an
nounced that from the 18th on, all
workers will work six days week
instead OF five as we used to do, but
only four hours day. This means
the following for the workers: They
will get SO a week instead Of SIG
as we used to get before. But this
is not all. The new ruling of the
company is that only single and not
married workers will remain on the
job. The reason for this is that the
company will compel all of the work
erS to sleep in its barracks and to
feed them, and in return they have
to pay 81 q day to the company. No
one is permitted OF go and sleep or
eat elsewhere. Thus the workers are
actually becoming slaves Of the COM
pany and only one dollar is left for
them after weeks work. Accord
ing to the capitalist press this is sign
that prosperity is coming back fast.

hods Unity Committees take an ac-
tive part in organizing the railroad

De Priest Framed
Police Attack on
Negro Workers
(By a Worker Correspondent

CHICAGO.-TWo Negro workers
arrested and beaten by orders Of Os-
car De Priest, will face trial on Dec
81. Two conferences have been held
for the purpose of mobllizing mass
support for the defense Of these
workers. A mass demonstration in
and around the courtroom is being
arranged
The attack on these workers took
place Just before the elections in
November when number of workers
gathered at the Blackwell Memorial
Church on lakewood Blvd, TO hear
Oscar De Priest, republican candid
ate for Congressman in the First Con-
greSsional District.
Tells OF Good Time
De Priest arrived about $50 p. m.
and tried to entertain the audience
with a story OF his travels and of
all the good eats he and his wife
had enjoyed while he was on tour.
After some time he finally got
down TO politics and asked the work
ers to support him and the Repub-
llcan Party.
Calls Cops
Just before he finished speaking he
was asked by Herbert Newton, Com
munist candidate for Congress, what
his stand was on the Scottsboro case,
the Veterans Bureau and Unemploy-
ment Insurance.
De Priest finally agreed to, answer,
but in the meantime, his henchmen
had called the police who reported
with clubs and guns and proceeded
to beat every one in reach.
After the smoke of battle cleared,
two of the workers were found to be
terribly beaten and dubbed. 1t is
these two victims of misleader and
capitalist agent, De Priest, who are
going up for trial on the eth.

The Washington times., 1932-06-28

But there's this consolation left
as the team begins an important
series with the New York Yankees
today. It's the fact that they
can come very close to the posi-
ton by July 4 by getting into a
little winning streak in the four
games against the Yanks and
four scheduled with the AS this
week.
Naturally this is an unusually
tough assignment. 1t would be
for any team slated to oppose
the two leading clubs in the cir
cult.
Reap Rewards, Is Hope
But the Griffs are out to
reap a few rewards if any can
possibly be reaped. And against
the Yanks they mean to start.
Despite the fact that they
could only win eight games in 16
on their recent trip West, Man
ager Johnson's gang are not a
downhearted crew.
On the contrary, they are in
excellent spirits and believe that
some sort of comeback will be
made even though it probably
won't result in a clean sweep
against their most despised foes
in the eight games scheduled be-
tween now and July 4.
The Griffs argue that the ia.
miliar tradition which has been
a part of their play against both
the Yanks and AS this season
should continue to follow them
at this important time as the
schedule unfolds. At any rate
they're counting on it to help
as it has aided them in winning
The Washington times., 1932-06-28

eight contests from the Yanks
this year against six lost, and
seven over the AS against five
lost.
The last time the Griffs faced
the McCarthymen here was in
double-header opening a six
game series. They won both en-
gagements that day and would
have continued winning during
the remaining games of the Sc
rieS with a few favors in the
breaks. But history tells that
the next three games were lost.
Situation Different
A little different situation rules
in the series this time. First off,
only two games are on schedule
before the next two, July 4. This
means that Manager Johnson's
pitchers will have a brief breath
ing spell in between assignments
where they did not before. Also
two of the contests are scheduled
at Griff Stadium, where all six
were on list at Yankee Stadium
before.
Thus, from the indications,
hopes, and ideas the Griffs hold
at this stage, a better than aver
age showing is to be made against
the YankS at least. Let's hope so
as Mr.. Clark Griffith's employees
face four other important games
against the Philadelphia AS be-
tween now and July and this
means that a better than average
showing must be made against
the Mackmen also if that "close
to first place" aim is to be real
