PROVIDENCE, R. I.-Pay for work

cash from SIS TO SIS. In this way
the city is paying the workers on

Those with the largest families
were worked the first three days
starting last Monday, for which they
received SLIPS. These men previously
had been paid from $12 to SIS. Those
who worked from Wednesday to Fri
day received s3.75 in grocery orders,
one reporting an order of 50 for three

This is the manner in which the
demagogic lies of the Roosevelt adj
ministration are carried out in actual
practice. Federal Relief Administrator
Hopkins announced that every Civil

Elections are so unanswered, the

conventions will result in setting up
Two districts Of the S.MwIU. in
ohio.
This convention takes place at a
cine Of mass lay-offs in the steel In
dustry With production down to rs
per cent capacity and follows closely
after many sharp strike struggles in
the industry.
Code Satisfactory to Trust
The convention marks the end of
the three months trial period Of the
bosses steel code. This slavery code
has been again endorsed as "satisfac-
tory and pleasing" by the steel trust
indicating that it is serving well the
purpose it was intended for-to keep
wages at hunger level while prices
go up and to prevent the workers
from joining militant class organize
tons by conducting terror and dis
nlissals of workers who fight against
their code, or refuse to join company
unions and the A. r. of L.
This code has been rejected by
thousands of steel and metal work
ers as a slave code OF the steel trust.
Strike struggles by workers have
raised the wage level above the min
mum of the steel trust code and at
tempts defeated to stampede the
workers into company or A. F. of l..
unions.
In the face OF the mass lay-offs it
became most important question be-
fore this convention to take up the
