Boost Price TO Consumers.
For the second time within two
weeks the retail price of milk has
been boosted. Grade "A" milk to
consumers is now IA cents. Just ten

This price boost forces the milk
consumers of New York City to pay
$239, 1870 a week more than before
on the basis of the quantity sold in
the city the week OF May 9th, which
amounted to 1922 100 quarts. The
two price boosts in two weeks in
creases the bill to consumers more
than $4,000 weekly, or almost $2,-
100000 month. Another $4,000 a
week is realized in price increases for

Threatened Railroad
Wage Cut Will Affect
Thousands of Negroes

NEW YORK The railroad execu-
siyes are demanding a 70 per cent
cut in wages for all union employees
on June IS. Last January, 1882, rail-
road workers were forced TO take a
10 per cent wage cut. Negro workers
who, according to the last census
comprised % per cent Of the railroad
Iaborers, and 90 per cent of the rail-
road porters, are the largest non
unionized sections Of railroad work
ers. Although large numbers of Negro
and white workers have been laid
off due to the economic depression,
the percentage Of Negro railroad work
ers is no doubt the same.
The unorganized Negro railroad
worker will suffer more from this
wage cut than the organized worker
Being unorganized, non-skilled, and
a Negro, he has always been under
paid. AS railroad porter he has
been forced to lick eyerybodys boots
to get tips to increase the small wage
he received.
The A. F. of L. officials who are
getting ready to sell out the white
railroad workers by putting over this
Is per cent wage cut have barred the
Negro workers from the union, and
refused to organize them. The new
agreement signed by the Brotherhood
of Railroad Firemen with the Atlantic
Coast Line Road states that "at least
81 per cent Of the firemen on the
Atlantic Coast Line must be white"
The railroad agreed mot to employ
Negro firemen and in the future new
vacancies will be filled by white fire.

ing the national organization Of the
Unemployed Councils. The Western
delegations and delegates from the
mining regions supported the seating
of the Unemployed Council delega-
ton. The Chicago committee was
split three to three on seating the
delegates.
Karl Borders and his group have
for a long time opposed a united
front with the Unemployed Coun-
ellis. In October of last year on the
initiative of the Chicago Unemployed
Councils united front with the Fed
Grafton of Unemployed was organized.
This moyement modified $4,000 in a
demonstration and defeated relief
cut. At this convention again there
is a desire for united struggle.
Guss, one of the Unemployed Coun-
Gil delegates. was elected on the or
ganization and policy committee of
the convention. The delegates OF the
U. Q. introduced an open letter sent
to the convention by its National
Committee. The letter points to the
attacks on the workers conditions
and stresses that ito meet this stu
atscn we need the greatest united
mobilization of employed and unem-
ployed workers we ever had

munist Party were also seated. They

order" Under this order regular sec

The Danger is immediate
Act At Once
The government is at the beck
and call OF the railroad bankers. It
is ready to put 3 million railroad
workers under the feudal control OF
railroad car solely for the benefit
of a handful Of millionaire railroad
owners. Hearings on the railroad bill.
fraught withssueh danger to railroad
labor have already been cut off.
In q resolution passed ct recent
national conference Of the Railroad
Brotherhoods' Unity Committee and
endorsed by the Free Tom Mooney
Conference in Chicago by 1900 dele
gates from labor bodies, this rank and
file vanguard Of the railroad workers
says in conclusion:
THE only recognition OF labor
rights in The Emergency Railroad
Transportation Act is a provision re-
cognizing collective bargaining in
principle and agreeing that labor is
to be notified Of any contemplated
changes before they take effect. We
know to our sorrow just what these
so called safeguards will do for US.
Collective bargaining has been reeog-
n1zed while half million men have
been dropped from the industry in
the past few years. And practically
every change which ended in Law offs
and changes in working rules has been
published in the press before it took
place.
This bill means the enslayenent
Of railroad labor. The only answer
which railroad labor can give is i'm
mediate widespread action against
this feudal measure.
mot a lodge must be allowed to
meet without resolution condemnIng
this act.
"All workers throughout the coun-
try must be enlisted to send pro-
tests against this bill to Congress and
the President.
ANY attempt to pass this sill
should be Immediately answered by
a referendum vote for a strike and
where our union leadership refuses
to act we must take the organizs :
tons into our own hands.
mo man must be fired unless he
is compensated by the company Or

until a national unemployment in
surance bill is passed for the pro-
lection of all unemployed workers.

the support of that organization to

on the picket line, and in printing

Enthusiastic applause also greeted
a representative OF the Daily Worker

to the striking bakers.

Representing the Middle Bronx
Unemployed Council. Lola Fem called
for the organization Of all nem-
ployed workers SO as to create great
er unity among all workers. employed
and unemployed, and avoid the TAX
ing of jobs by the jobless at lower
wages. She called for the support Of
the demand for Federal unemploy-
ment insurance which would shift
the burden of supporting the mil
lions Of jobless workers from the
shoulders of the working class to the
backs Of the bosses
Adding to the call by Joseph Alef
chairman of the Conference, for mo-
raj support OF the strike, Edward
Smith. Communist representative on
the presldium, called for support OF
the strikers along active lines, such
as joining in the picket line and par
ticipating in demonstrations against
the scab shops. The strike of the
bakers, he declared, is not an iso-
lated event, but a part Of the ma
ton wide struggle by the American
workers against the bosses. The
achievement of a united front to
support the striking bakers and help
them TO victory, he added, will help
pave the way TO victory for the en-
tire working class against capitalist
oppression. and for the final liberia
ton Of the workers from the capital
ist yoke.

Economy would not permit Of re-

Eastman in the recent hearings be-
fore the Senate Committee on Inter
state Commerce.
Speaking at a meeting OF the Eco
nomic Club in the Hotel Aston May
10, Z. P. Loree. President of the De
laware g. Hudson Railroad told his
audience that 1891 5000, 600 year
could be saved the railroads of the
country by the economies proposed
to the government by the Eastern
Conference OF Railroad Presidents OF
which he is chairman. There is nc
idea Of using any part OF this billion
dollars year for Unemployment re-
lief
Railroad Workers to Go on Charity
Relief
To a very considerable extent
said Eastman of the ICC, slated FOL
railroad car under the proposed bill
the elimination or reduction Of
wastes will involve loss Of employ
ment TO railroad labor" /. What the
/ three-q quarters of a million railroad
workers already eliminated from
the industry in the interest Of re-
ducing operating costs are to do Mr.
Eastman does not say. He hopes that
practicable plan could be proposed
thereby funds could be supplied fol
the making up Of deferred railroad
maintenance, now amounting to pro-
baby more than a billion dollars
and 50 giving a few thousand of the
unemployed jobs. 1t is therefore quite
clear, from Eastman, himself, that nc
provision will be made for unemployed
railroad workers and that these W Tk-
ers are to be herded into ST day
forestry camps or put on S. week
relief or go hungry, along with the
II million jobless.
Railway Labor Act No Safeguard
The Railway Labor Act which de-
ponds for its Interpretation on re-
pfesentatives OF the owning class is
no safeguard for railroad workers. Or

now comes to light that the track
walkers who were supposed to be
protected by an agreement with the
union, have been compelled to sub
nit to wage reduction of as great
as is cents an hour, almost a so pei
cent cut on top of the flat 10 pei
cent out officially accepted by the
