ROTTEN CONDITIONS IN

CHICAGO, Ill.-The conditions Of
the young workers and adults in the
flop houses are unbearable and are
getting worse daily.
In spite of the demands of the
workers in these hell holes for better
food, sanitary conditions, and medical
attention for the sick, the grafters
of the Emmerson relief have done
nothing to remedy the situation.
Every time the workers hold demon
STATIONS in the front of these flops
the police answer with tear gas, Jail
ings. and beat up the workers. The
other day al cases OF flu we're report
ed to the Board of Health. 81 Of these
were from 500 N. Union Street flop
house. Many more are being taken
out daily as the result of the pressure
put upon them by the workers.
But still these grafters are not do
ing anything to stop this flu epidemic.
The young workers are the driving
force in these struggles and the most
militant. The members of the Unem-
ployed Council and the flop house
committee are modifying the workers
against the rotten conditions of the
workers in these flop houses and In
demand for immediate action on the
part of these grafters to remedy the
situation.

Frederick Fl. Payne, assistant Sec
rotary of war, stated last night that
the U. S. War Department had "col-
lected and classified data on $4,000
industrial plants that could be used
to make munitions in an emergency"
This. classification had been going on
for months, as exposed by the Daily
Worker several months ago. In max
ing this statement, Assistant secre-
tary of War Frederick H. Payne
added:
"In modern conflict the quantity
Of munitions required staggers the
imagination. Plant executives have
co-operated in supplying information
and have checked the estimates in
each case"
That these war preparations are
aimed not only against the Chinese
masses and the Soviet Union but
also against the struggles OF the
starving unemployed millions in this
country is clearly indicated by the
Assistant Secretary's statement that:
GAS we consider the possible diff
ficulties that may arise in a world
torn by industrial and social dis
order, it is most reassuring to real
ize that we have an organization
which reaches every town and
community and which would be .
great modelling influence In the
event Of any trouble--rememberfng
also that the framework Of this
organization is so adjusted az to
absorb the manpower of this ma
ton quickly and efficiently n 1t

The American workers must answer
this open declaration Of war preps-
rations against their struggles to
live, against their fight for tmem-
ployment relief and against the Chi
nese masses and the Soviet Union
by a determined mobilization Of all
our forces against the war plots Of

BOUND BROOK, N. J. -- The
Bakelite Corporation here is taking
advantage of the crisis by en-
ploying the highest skilled me
chanicS at starvation wages. On
March 1st a ten per cent wage
cut goes into effect for us. The
new buildings, though modern IN
appearance, are by no means
healthy for the workers. The cherni-
ical fumes from defective stills
almost gag a men walking through
the still department. The dust in
the pulverizing departments Is so
thick at times that one worker car
hardly see the other. Breathing this
is disgusting, makes q workers
throat city and undermining the
workers health,
We workers must organize and
demand that an adequate vcntilat-
ing system be installed and the
leaky stills repaired.
The registers that the company is
installing on all rolling machines
does away with the necessity OF q
foreman checking the steady speed
Of the workers. The register re-
cords on chart the speed of the
workers every moment of the day
and glance at the chart tells the
story.
This will lead to killing speed-up
and production pace. These work
ers receive Csc to 45c an hour. The
coming ten per cent wage-cut will
produce more discomfort and dis
gust for the bosses and their rotten

Warehouse: Relief
Volunteers Needed

CONTINUED FROM FACE oNED
this campaign is a shock brigader
in the counter offensive of the
workers against the vicious attacks
of the bosses upon the living stand
ards of the working class!'
Hundreds of miners who had gath
cred at nearby mines to aid the
Glendon miners smash the Straight
Greek federal Injunction were pre-
vented from reaching Straight Greek
by flood waters which still covered
the roads, but mass picketing there
will take place Just as soon as the
water recedes.
A new flood of lies against the
National Miners Union has been let
loose by the coal operators, preachers
and the United Mine Workers. The
coal operators and the U. M w. A.
openly unite to say that the National
Miners Union is an Illegal organiza-
ton whose only function is to destroy
religion, the home, etc. and point to
the jailings and kidnappings as proof
of the illegality of the N. M. U. and
immunity to these things which
membership in the U.MW.A. brings.
The U.M.W.A. is increasingly active
all along the line They have &C
complished nothing as yet, but re-
main a great danger here because
of the past underestimations.
Kentucky preachers in a Knoxville
conference yesterday called the N.
M. U. unchristian, they attacked all
outsiders and the say the operators
are more to be pitied than the min
ers because they are losing money.
Terror is so vicious throughout the
strike area that the miners who re-
manned at work are being discharged
if they are caught reading the Knox
vile News Sentinel, ''liberap paper
like the World Telegram.
So bitter is the operators attack
on the National Miners Union, that
the Kay-Jay miners have been giving
the lying promise that they would
get higher wages if they leave the
N. M U. and go back to work. The
operators an d the U. M. w. A. are
also spreading the lie that the fed
eral injunction applies TO all struck
mines.
There has been no mass back 10
work movement anywhere, but few
hundred are dribbhng back to work.
