| statute BOOKS.
The wages in the needle industry
are as low as 81 or IS a week for 65
to 80 hours. In many places girls
were given for a full week Of work
| (piece work. 40 cents. In the recent
strike in Branford prominent bank
err declared quite openly that he con-
siders IS a week a sufficient wage for
a girl.
The speed-up is terrific. Many
complaints are on the record Of girls
being discharged for staying too long
or too frequent in the washroom. In
Stamford a group Of girls notified the
board Of health about one such shop.
The resentment of the workers in
the industry is mounting and many
spontaneous walk-outs and strikes are
taking place.
The state labor department headed
by the "labor" man, Joseph Tone, has
recently conducted a series Of raids
on some of the sweat shops, arrested
few manufacturers and contractors,
got lot of publicity, preferred
charges against some with as many
as 80 different violations of the Con-
necticut labor laws. In some in
stances some manufacturers we're
fined few dollars, most of the cases
are squaShed. But in all of these
places the same conditions continue.
The manufacturers don't seem to
worry about Joseph Tone and Johnny
Eagan crusade. Both Of these gentle
men have a long record of service to
the master class of Connecticut.
Bribed by Boss
Joseph Tone started out years age
as an organizer of the machinist
union About twelve years ago he
managed to organize 5000 workers in
the Yale & Towne lock shop in STAN
ford, promising to lead them in a
| strike for more wages and shorter
hours. After the limitations were
collected, he changed front and began
to speak against the strike. The
workers left his union saying quite
openly that he, together with the
other labor takers, sold them out
He also led the strike in 1929
against the N. Y. N. H. 81 H. R. r.
During this strike of the shopmen it
became known that he was on the
payroll of the New Haven Railroad.
This created such an uproar, that
even the state A. F. of L. was COM
PEELED to criticize his actions. He is
the state secretary Of he Democratic
Party, which was recently endorsed
by the State Federation of Labor.
In the recent strikes led by the
National Textile Workers Union in
Putnam and in Branford, he has
done his utmost to defeat these
workers
In Stanford his friend, John Eagan,
even informed the police that Com
munists are giving out handbills
against a wage cut in the Yale lock
shop and called for their arrest.

JAILED FOR CONVERSATION

The following is an extract from a
letter received by worker in New
York City from a friend who is ira
yelling to the coast.
Salt Lake City, Utah
Dear N ~.
The conditions see have made
me a full fledged Communist. Here
is one example. In Moberly Mis-
souri,, we stopped overnight. Before
we went to bed we talked with a
bunch of local boys in the street. We
mentioned the depression, and / ex-
pressed myself radically. We finally
went to bed The next morning we
were having breakfast in cafe,
when a cop walked in with man,
and this man pointed to us, and
said, There they are" We were
hustled off to Jail, where we had to
spend five days.

themselves, but is paid entirely by
the industries and organizations em-
ploying them. Each plant and in
stitution pays into the state inslu-
ance fund on an average, sum equal
to thirteen. and one-half per cent of
the amount paid out in wages, during
the year. However, the control of
all social insurance expenditures is
in the hands of the workers them
selves. -

Child labor is in existence here in the
needle industry, tobacco fields, textile,
metal shops, etc.
Minors and women workers are re-
quired by the bosses to punch their
cards an hour after they come in to
work and again one or more hours
before they stop working. In this
manner the bosses get around some
of the so-called labor laws" on the
ist League that this resolution be
sent by telegram to the Supreme
Court was passed over the objections
of Bob Parker, local leader of the
YP.SL.
At a meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the forum, the same Bob
Parker proposed that the delegates
from the Young Communist League
and the Youth Branch of the In
ternational Workers Order not be
seated. This was overruled by a
vote of IA to 8, with some rank and
file members of the Y.P.SL. voting
in favor Of seating these delegates.
