Workers Enemies
Exposed

In Cincinnati, Ohio, the Communist
Party expelled several pernicious
enemies Of the working class, against
whom it wishes to warn all workers
and all working class organizations.
SAMUEL r. BROWN, 224 w. 18th
Street, Cincinnati, Ohio, jewish
American, 40 yrs. old, 5 #. 8 in. tall
bald head, brown CRAVING hair, front
teeth widely set, who claims to have
been real estate man and to have
lost his fortunes in the 1929 crash
has been found out to be an agent
provocateur.
HARRY BERG (ROSEN), formerly
from West Orange, N. j., rs years old,
#. in. in height, curly brown hair,
dark face, flat nose, who talks with
a Jewish accent and claims to be an
engineer and "hobo," has been ex-
posed as close associate Of the spy
(Rrown) and as n vicious disruDtcr.
They have been seen having con-
ferences with the City Manager Dyk-
stra and with HELLER. They have
been going around to the workers and
sylnpathisers spreading vicious slam
ders AGAINST the section leadership
Of the Party.
Brown took out a warrant for the
arrest Of Herman Pollack, leader of
the Unemployed Council, the very
day when the unemployed were to
have a city-wide action to force the
City officialdom to recognize their
Council and other immediate de-
mands. He went to the City Council
and spoke against the Communist
Party and against the Unemployed
Councils, thus trying to help the city
officialdom to break up the organiza-
tons of the workers and to force
them to starve.
With these two there we're also ex-
pelled Jenny Atkins, George Gunther,
Fred Davis and Bessie Davis, who
formed factional group around
Brown and Berg, who peddled their
SANDERS, and who refused to disso-
ciate themselves from these two
agents of the bosses, in spite OF the
appeals of the Section organization
and of the District organization of
the Party.

CROCODILE TEARS AND
DEMAGOGY
Casey, III.

casey, III.
Comrade Editor:
Eugene Debs said that if the Cant
talist class were to speak well of him
he would Immediately investigate
himself to see what was wrong with
him.
At the Baptist Church in Terre
Haute the Socialists honored Debs in
q memorial program. Rev. George
e. Francis read poem, Rev. Fisher
acted as chairman, and the invoca-
lion was given by Rev. A. J. Esperson.
Thus we're the crocodile tears in a
flow of demogagy bestowed upon the
man who said, ri am a Bolshevik
from the crown OF my head to the
soles of my feet"
If these Socialist leaders were sin
cere, they could not honor one Boil
shevik-though he be dead-and sup
port the system which clubs and tails
others.
And the straw that breaks the
camel's back is when the editor of
the Tribune" says, some of his
(Debs) most expansive dreams have
come into operation"
The editor says: TT Is no conces-
sion to anything to admit that if
Gene Debs were to return to earth
today, he would find things in a
vastly changed order. Kings have
fled their thrones, con1noners fill the
cabinets and chancellories, women
have come into the cabinets, govern
ments have taken over control of in
dustry, and some of his most expan-
sive dreams have come into operation.
In fact liberalism has come so fast,
that Gene Debs would find 1t diff
cult to keep up with events"
We workers must not think for
one minute these misleaders do not
know Debs was for the overthrow of
the capitalist system. If Debs werc
alive, they would condemn him just
as they do any other Bolshevik.
And for the editor to say that
liberalism has come so fast, that
Gene Debs would find it difficult to
keep up with events" is the worse
sort of denlagogy.
Liberalism For whom, Editor?
Do you mean liberalism for the
capitalist class through Fascism such
as they have in Germany, and such
as we are ever getting more of in
the United States as Fascism over
takes us here? With such liberal
ism" Debs would find it difficult to
keep out Of jail. And those who, in
mockery, are lauding him today.
would be asking--as they are asking
for every other Bolshevik-his life.

EAST BRAINTREE, Mass-I would

men hired here lately, but twice as

committee of Three, which have been
sent to washington to represent the
workers. There is in the shiuyard q
committee of 30 supposed to be rep
resenting the different departments,
but only three were sent to Washing
ton. stee
T have been Informed by one OF the
foremen that all those that have
been laid off will not benefit by the
new wage scale. Only those now work
ing will get the raise (if it comes.
This IS why there have been SO many
laid off.
According to present contracts there
will be about four years work here,
and the A. F, Of L. or company union
has been formed with the correct
quota Of stool pigeons in each de-
partment. So the. workers here are
in for four years of speed up at low
wages, and tiley,~will soon find out
that the only way they can better
their conditions is through affiliation

Steel, Metal Workers
Industrial Union in
New Britain GrOwino
By a Metad worker Correspondent

By Metad Worker Correspondent
NEW BRITAIN, Conn.-In the Nov.
81 issue the Daily had an article
pointing out that the foundry workers
here are joining up with the SM.W.
III. Well, I have some more inform =
ton in regards to this. November Il
we had an organizational meeting
following last weeks meeting, and the
response was splendid. About 25o
workers showed up at this meeting
and about IS workers joined up, and
many workers promised to get their
shopmates to join and took applica-
ton cards to pass out in the shops.
In spite Of the fact that I am
known as Communist to the workers
here they elected me as their organ
izer. This shows that If we meet the
Red scare and explain to the workers
what we stand for and what our
program is and what the revolution
airy unions are they will not react to
the Red scare and will be drawn
closer to US.
We have elected an Executive Com
n1ittee representing four factories,
and we are going through with or
ganizationa1 work and setting up in
each shop our shop committees and
preparing for the coming struggles,
and we have also drawn in the unenl-
ployed as we'll as the employed.
We explained how necessary it is to
fight for Unemployment Insurance
and the solidarity Of the employed
and unemployed. This was met with
great enthusiasm on the part OF the
workers.
Please when you print an article I
wish you would not have SO many
mispelled words, Because If, for in
stance, American born workers read
the Daily and find SO many mistakes
they will get an idea that the Daily
is printed by bunch Of foreigners"
I hope you see what am driving at.

get a job somewhere else. We had
a pretty strong unemployed organiza-
ticn but now we are not able to get
a committee. It is easy to find cases
of workers who need defense, If we
only look for them.
Here is one: an American-born
Gndian) family with little children
have lived at the outskirts of the city
in a little shanty IAN X IL chicken
COOP for two years. The relief COM
mittee keeps that family on SITE a
week. Because he came from Okla
homa three years ago, the relief COM
nissioners DO not recognize him as
q Trumbul County resident. They
want to deport him to the place from
which he came.
Must Mobilize More Workers
Our party unit elected committee
and we went to County Commission
ers Office to demand more relief for
the desperate Indian family. But our
small committee Of five didn't sue
coed, and we have to mobilize more
workers.
Here is another case. In the So
called Trumbull County poorhouse,
one old worker complained to our
comrade on conditions, rules and dis
cipIine. BY the rules Of the Trum-
bull County Commission, each in
dividual in the poorhouse is supposed
to get a $13O worth Of supplies. But
that worker said he does get not more
than Csc worth Of supplies day.
If anyone fails to obey some Of their
rules, the superintendent Furnishes
him in special room jaiD without
any food. Our committee should in
vestigate the conditions in this poor
house, and demand human treatment
for the old homeless workers.
Many of the workers, even our SYM
pathizers, had N. r. A. illusions about
prosperity arond q corner, but they
are beginning to realize that ROOse~
velt's New Deal means greater
burden for them. The Republic Steel
Co., after terrific speed-up Of produc-
ton, has slowed down and has laid
off many workers who were hired 2
couple of months ago.
So our task is to strengthen our IN
employed Council and fight for more
winter relief

CAMDEN, N. J.-Despite the N. r,
A, we employees of the Victor r. g. A.
radio company are still being made
the victims of all kinds Of boss
trickery, designed to lower our pay
and to further enslave us.
The workers, for example, are forced
to cooperate with time settlers, men
who determine the minimum speed
rate for all assembling jobs. The
time settlers at regular periods in
form each worker to pay strict at
tention to his work and to perform
his assembling operation at his nor
NAL speed. But the workers know
that their being too slow when timed
leads indirectly to dismissal, and to
they work at a speed faster than can
be possibly maintained.
BY means of some formula mini

speed rate, which is supposed to make

quent intervals, also determines their
bonus.
The workers labor at top speed in
order to supplement- their small pay
with the extra money their bonus
brings them. But they are fortunately
waking up at last to the fact that
the bonus which is paid for exceeding
their minimum production quota is
becoming smaller and smaller when
earned. and that it is only being used
as q substitute for an outright speed
up system.
The Victor officials have solved in
heir own way the discomfort pro-
voked by low wages. 1t is required
OF most employees, especially the low
est paid ones, to work overtime on
Saturdays and even on Sundays,
which pays them time and g. half.
This not only quiets the workers, in
solar as wages are concerned, but it
also enables the company to avoid
employing more help.
Stockholders are daily guided
through the plant in order that they
can learn for themselves why their
9tocks aren't earpi''q them greater
dividends. Many of the more tech
nically informed stockholders carry
pads and pencils in their hands and
