Today the New Jersey State Fed

superintendent at the Ford plant,
seid he felt that these leaflets are in
accord with Roosevelt's N. r. A. pro-
gram.
We did chase away a lot of men
yesterday" said the chief, who were
distributing leaflets which urged the
Ford employees to join the Auto
Workers Union, whose headquarters
are at 1854 18th Avenue, Newark, be-
cause no permit was asked for"
The leaflets, which Chief of Police
Joret permitted to be distributed,
were signed by William Green, A. F.

Over 200 produce workers won a COM

| action and for definite immediate
demands of their own.
The company showed definite signs
OF weakening at 5 o'clock yesterday,
when they sent Captain Kjeldsen
down to the union hall to state that
the company was willing to grant
the main demand-for a $40 a month
increase-but that 1t was not willing
to rehire the same crew. This pro-
posal was turned down fiat by the
strikers. Jack Lambert, speaking for
the crew and the union, told the cap
tain: First we demand that the four
arrested men be Immediately released.
Second, that all the men who went
out on strike be rehired without any
discrimination at all" The captain
hedged around and practically stated
that he would take back most Of the
men = with the exception of those
arrested Lambert then told him, in
the presence of many of the strikers.
You'll either have to take back the
same crew, including the arrested
men--or you won't get a man for
her in Baltimore. Well keep her tied
up until she rots."
CAPTAIN KJELDSEN then COM
" planned about the fact that the
men had dropped both anchors when
they went on strike, saying they had
no right to do this. He was told:

More Utah Miners Walk Out;
Relief Is Cut to Break Strike

HELPER, Utah, Aug. 21.-The coal
strike here under the leadership Of
the National Miners Union is eX-
tending. Yesterday the miners at the
National mine voted to join the strike
when the company refused their de-
mands. There will be strike votes
today at Sweets and Consumers mine.
Twelve hundred workers were on the
picket line at the Spring Canyon
mine yesterday.
Cut off Relief
All relief is to be cut off from the
unemployed workers Of Carbon
County BY orders of the state relief
director, Henckley, because many Of
the residents of the county are mem
bers Of the National Miners Union
and 'anti-government' State relief
officials declare that the relief will be
cut off until the N. M. U. is ousted
from Carbon County"
State officials declare this action
is taken because through the Carbon
County Miner and at mass meetings
the National Miners Union has criti-
cized the NRA and the president.
This move is intended to split the
ranks OF the miners and to create
sentiment among the unemployed
against the Onion.
More than two thousand people in
Carbon County depend upon relief
for their existence.

tional Miners Union by the combined

Hard Shedding With
JOhnstoWn Workers
tBy Worker Correspondent


JOHNSTOWN, Pa-The Amalga-
mated Association of Iron, Sheet
Metal and Tin Workers had a meet
ing Aug. 10 with a large crowd of
46 present. Sherbin, local lawyer,
dweltNon the rights Of the workers to
organize under the Industrial Slavery
Act, and advised all workers to Or
ganize. The workers sat with serious
faces, neither appla1dlng nor con-
tradicting him.
Twenty workers joined the A. A.,
for the purpose Of being on the inside
so they can expose the plan of these
nisleaders. They are conscientious
workers, who will not be afraid to
fight for the right things for the
workers when the time comes.
The workers have not forgotten the
sellout of 1919, and mention this fact
very often. An A. A. organizer here,
whose name I have not learned as
yet, said that the workers were the
ones that sold themselves out by
scabbing. Every steel worker here
knows that the officials of the A. A.
are the ones that sold them out.
1t is very unlikely that the A. A.
will get organized to the extent of
the workers having the opportunity
to expose them. But if they do, the
workers are ready to give them a 100
per cent exposure. They are workers
who were themselves sold out in 1919
and not new workers or labor leaders.

victorious strike. led by the N. NJ. u,
at the Mutual mine. For the second
time within ten days the Mutual Coal
Co. has been forced TO comply with
all demands of the miners. Follow
ing the recent victorious strike there
the company tried to avoid some of
the provisions of the settlement and
brought in ncn-union members from
distant sections while many Mutual
miners living in the camp remained
without work The miners answered
this move with another strike and
mass pic6eting, preventing the COM
pany from bringing any scabs into
the mine. During this strike Sheriff
Bliss deputized the superintendent
who was so drunk that he could
hardly stand on his feet.
In spite of the attacks by the OPP
orators aided by the UNiWA and
county and state officials the Carbon
County miners are continuing and
intensifying their struggles for better
conditions. The victory at Mutual,
where the miners have just received
their first regular pay day in two
years as a result of the strike led by
the NNIU, is having tremendous eff
feet throughout the Utah coal fields.
The Mutual miners also won check
weighman, recognition of NMU COM
mittee, pay for drivers by company,
right of miners to elect doctors, re-
instatement Of discharged miners, etc
At Spring Canyon, one Of the largest
mines in Utah the miners have pre-.
scented local demands to the company
and are preparing for strike if these
demands are refused, Demands will
also be presented in other mines i'm
mediately.

New Deal" ShOyes
Pay OfWiCkwireMen
to Pauper Levels
Many Stunts Used to
Lower Wages in
All Dep'ts
By B. D.

RIVERSIDE, N. Y, Aug. 21.-
The conditions under which Wickwire
Spencer men worked before the
strike afford more clear proof of
the pauper level Of the steel code
and it's devastating effect on wages
and working conditions already
below the subsistence level before
the code-with its swindling Is per
cent raise-was introduced.
Yesterday was payday for Wick
wire and strikers got their weeks
wages. For 80 hours work there
were pay checks Of $10.90-which
figures out at about 81 cents per
hour. Before the "raise," these
workers were getting paid at the
rate of A cents per hour.
Changes in working conditions and
payment for various operations have
been made continually during the
crisis and since the New Deal which
effectively force such workers as
wire drawers to work many hours
for nothing. There used to be, for
instance, payment to machine oper-
ators for time lost in changing over
their machines from one width to
another. Therefore it did not pay
the companies to give the men mis-
cellaneous Short order"
Now an operator is compelled to
take anything. In the wire mill
perhaps he is ordered to run one
roll, let US say, of 16 inch mesh.
Then he may get an order for 26
inch mesh. He has to change over
his machine and gets nothing for
the hour and half or move lost.
With succession Of these short
orders an operator will put in a whole
shift for 10 or Is cents.
Operators are no longer paid for
time lost due to electrical or mech
anical defects. Instead they must
help the machinist or electrician and
get nothing for it.
Another method of reducing in
come recently come into vogue is to
condemn whole roll of wire for a
defect that affects only the last few
inches something that happens
often due to bad material or a
machine defect. The operator gets
no pay for such a roll.
Under this system of robbery a
wire drawer quite often handles a
270 pound roll six or seven times
and is not paid dime.
The process in steel, metal and
wire plants whereby workers income
has been cut to the starvation level
by arbitrary changes in working
conditions and methods of payment
is comparable in the mining industry
to the abolition of payment for NOV
ing rock, laying track, timbering,
etc. Direct wage cuts were made
to speed up this process. These two
methods have now met.
1t is apparent that an understand
ing of the special details Of wage
reductions is necessary for effective
organization and struggle against
them by the Steel and Metal Work
ers Industrial Union. The recent
developments in Wickwire and the
Bonner plant of the Republic Steel
are examples of the application of
such knowledge to the problem of
organization and struggle.
