Blue Eagle Brings
More Unemployment
to Lynn, Massachusetts
by a Worker Corresponnedt)

LYNN, Mass.-Sharafs Inc, q
Central So, chain restaurant sys-
tenn displaying the blue eagle, and
thereby claiming to support Roose-
velt's program by increasing wages
and employing more help, is cooper
ating in the following manner.
Before joining the N. R. A. they
employed two workers to do kitchen
work at SO per week each, including
two meals per day, and their linen.
After joining the N. R. A. they dis
charged those two workers and hired
one in their place at the $14 min
imum, charging this worker 50 per
week for his two meals and an addi-
tional 60 cents for his linen.
If this plan is carried out by all
the bosses in general we will have
millions more of unemployed added
to the 100000 that we have at
present.

NRA Reduces Full .
Time Workers to

GREAT FALLS, Mont.-Congratu-
lations on the six and eight-page
issue. I am doing some work in the
farming sections and hope to be able
to send in a number of subs, espe-
cially for the Saturday issue.
I recently left New York City and
note that steel plants are opening
and the copper refinery at this place
is running two shifts per week. That
means by the N. R. A. code half time.
The output capacity of the plant is
100000 lbs. per day, besides zinc.
The N. R. A. has infected the
whole town. The laundries close on
Thursday.
Crops are poor, and burned up in
most cases. All crops look bad and
are reported bad from Wisconsin to
here. A business man, an insurance
man, said that this country would
be in good condition if crops had
been fair, but due to past failures
from 1928 no crop.

Shoe Factory Boasts
of Hiring More Men;
Actually Fires Them
tBy a Worker Correspondent

MILWAUKEE, Wis.-Here is how
the N. r. A. really worked out in the
factory in which am employed, the
Rohn Shoe Company. From August
LIST we started working under the
N. R. A. and Immediately they fired
about is or 20 workers.
Where there we're five workers
doing certain work, there are now
only three. Where there were three
workers, now there are only two, etc.
For doing this work, they wouldn't
raise our wages even one cent. Yet
when we see the Milwaukee SEN
tinel," we hear the falsehoods about
this whole campaign, where the Rohn
Shoe Company boasts that they are
hiring many workers as a result Of
the N. r. A.

Supposed Wage Raise
in Cafeteria Actually
a Thirty Per Cent Cut
(By a Worker Correspondent

LONG ISLAND CITY.-An indie
pendent cafeteria owner near Queens
Plaza said he had raised the wages of
his force from ten to fourteen dollars
week under the code-for which he
received permission to flaunt the
N. r. A. sign. But the code also
allows him to charge his workers
one dollar day for meals, which he
never did before.
So the workers in this shop under
the code have received a 30 per cent
wage cut. The boss himself, a petty
bourgeois, almost in the proletariat
because of big capitalist competition,
made cynical remarks about the
code.

The really interesting question is

The really interesting question is:
What is the tendency?
Is the tendency toward dictator
ships? or is it toward aristocracy?
Or is it, after all, an undeniable
drift toward democracy?
That may depend upon what demo-
cracy is supposed to be, and to do.
Democracy has generally raised it's
head when too many people refused to
consent any longer to the doings of
the autocrat, or the aristoccrats, or
the mobocracy. For: after all, these
cannot function comfortably, unless
the people, somehow, consent.
The record seems to show that al
ways, sooner or later, this consent
was withdrawn.
A democracy seems to imply the
action of all the people, or a major
ity of all the people, in unison
Sometimes it just gets down to
what is called IAN effective major
ity."
There are certain kinds of things
that you can always divide crowd

But they viii follow the dictate"

postmasters-
1t is mighty good thing that we
have some one man to attend to it.
A democratic executive is mighty
near a contradiction in terms.
And, an unpopular dictator or

New York.-Something of how
"open shop" employers are exploiting
depression-cowed men and turning
their plants into veritable sweatshops
is told in the American Photo-En-
graver by Edward j. Volz, president
of the International Photo -Engravers
Union of North America.
On a recent trip in the Mid West
he found non-union employers COM
pelling photo-engravers to report at
500 or $3.50 in the morning and re-
main on the job all day, though they
were paid only at cut wages for the
time actually worked, sometimes only
fifteen or twenty minutes at a time
in two or three odd periods through
the day.
Moreover, if rush order came in
late, these men who had been mostly
idle and unpaid, were compelled to
stay on at night at the ordinary wage
rate. Mr.. Volz caustically comments:
Strange as it may seem, this prac-
tice Of bearing down on the worker
and its resultant ruinous competition
was introduced and is being enforced
by a ranking officer of the Employ
ers' Association"

The Term Freeman"

The expression was used to distin-
guish free persons from slaves or from
indented white servants or persons
known as redemptioners. Indented
white servants were composed of Grim
inals who were sent to this country In
lieu Of serving a prison sentence, or
waits sold by parents or kidnapped by
exploiters and sold for transportation
to the United States. Redemptioners
were persons who sold their services
for term Of years, usually five, in or
der to secure passage to this country.
Most Of these persons. after their re
lease, became members OF our great
middle class, and many Of them were
among the early western settlers.

Has democracy failed?

Well, who ever asked democracy

What is democracy butting in on
any job for anyway?
Has democracy any credentials

When did democracy ever accom-

Is not all history just the story
of what the great men have done?
Now and then, some modest great
man gives the credit to democracy.
Let. quit kidding ourselves
Is not that the Napoleon

Yeah-it is not.
What other forms of social control
have seemed to function besides dem
ocracy?
Well-there is autocracy-the die
tatorship
That is an notwithstanding
honorable-form.
Then there is aristocracy-the rule
of the best people.
This has been we'll illustrated by
the old British rule.
1t is really the pattern given in
Plato's Republic.
A good dictator is said by some
to be the best form of government
on earth.
But dictatorship has a curious-and
quite uni.'orm-effect on the disposi-
tion of the good" man.
The problem of the proper aristo-
sracy is, to decide on who are the
best" people.
Then, there have been "vigilantes";
and mob rule; and the like.
But these were temporary, natur-
ally, and always led to something
else.

CHICAGO PUBLIC
Backs LabOr's Fight Against
School Program
By JOSEPH a. WISE


Chicago (ILNS) THAT the educat-
ed, thinking people of Chicago are
more in sympathy with the principles
and concepts of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor at this time than at
any previous time in the history OF
this city was made plain at gigan-
tice mass meeting of citizens held at
the Chicago stadium.
The audience of $4,000, called to-
.gether to protest against the wreck
ing of the Chicago public school sys-
tenn by shyster politicians under
orders from evil-minded, avaricious
big bankers, gave the biggest ovation
of the evening to John Fitzpatrick,
president of the Chicago Federation
of Labor. The vast throng arose and
cheered President Fitzpatrick for
three minutes after he had concluded
his presentation of labor's case
against the Board of Education. 1t
was not an organized labor meeting,
but was held under the direction OF
organizations embracing many classes
of citizens. Speakers represented
universities, parent-teachers associa-
tions, the Kiwanis International,
churches and various educational or
ganizations.
Boards Program Assailed
Mr.. Fitzpatrick read a lengthy
resolution which had been adopted by
the Chicago Federation of Labor,
copies Of which had been forwarded
to various public officials, including
President Roosevelt and Secretary OF
the Interior Ickes.
The central thought of the resolu-
ton was to the effect that the pro-
posed program of the Board Of Edu-
cation, adopted at secret meeting,
would deprive the children of the poor
of needed educational advantages, in
tensify the unemployment situation
and sabotage the plans of President
Roosevelt for industrial recovery.
President Fitzpatrick brought
the audience to it's feet in roar
ing approval when he launched
into slashing attack upon Mel
vim A. Traylor, international
banker, whom he charged with
giving bad advice to Mayor Ed
ward j. Kelly, who appointed and
controls majority of the pres
ent school board. Mr.. Fitzpatrick
characterized Mr.. Traylor as
/, public enemy"
1t was only a year ago that the
democratic national convention, meet
ing in the same great auditorium
where the mass meeting Of outraged
citizens above referred to was held,
rejected Melvin A. Traylor as pres
idential candidate and chose Franklin
Delano Roosevelt as it's standard
bearer.
Traylor Reported Plotting
1T is currently rumOred that Tray
lor, still smarting from wounds re-
ceived during his vain pursuit of the
presidency, is sulking against the
present plans of his successful rival.

banks, theFirst National of Chicago,
Traylor is in position to WELD a
tremendous influence in under takings
