experience SO often.
Perhaps the lessons could be given
in the Daily Worker, once or twice
a week. The answers to be sent in,
etc. FRED STANLEY.
Editors Note: We have asked the
National Workers School, located at
IS E. 18th ST., New York City, to re-
ply. They write:
Dear Comrade:
You have raised a very important
question in your letter with regard
to the need for theoretical training
of active comrades in the Party. AL
though you have not expressed 1t
clearly, you seem to have in mind a
correspondence course, which would
undoubtedly be very helpful. In fact,
the Workers School in New York has
made an attempt to introduce a
correspondence course in Principles
of Communism" but, due to the
shortage of forces, this work could
not be continued.
As to the suggestion to have the
lessons printed in the Daily Worker
we shall consider that and perhaps
we will be in a position to do it in
the near future.
But your problem can be solved by
establishing branch OF the Work
ers' School in the territory of Sec
ton 8, or, if this is impossible for
the present, classes should be organ
lied on a section scale under the
guidance and with the cooperation
Of the Workers School of Chicago
We had the same problems in New
York, and we are solving them now
through this means. 1t is our opin-
ion that you should take up this
question with the comrades Of the
Workers School of Chicago, and un-
doubtedly some arrangements will be
made to the satisfaction of the
members of Section 8.
Your with comradely greetings,
A. MARRIOTT,
Director, Workers School.

week. At the end OF the week, the
nine hours that had been taken from
our time had been taken out from
our pay envelopes.
Then the boss began hiring new
men for lower wages. We got to-
gether, talked it over and decided
not to go in to work Monday. Mon
day morning we stood outside three
and half hours, refusing to start
working. Finally, the boss decided
that we work As hours. II we had
organized under the Steel and Metal
Workers Union, we would have been
able to force the boss to give less
hours and better working conditions.
This will nevertheless give the
workers in the shop something to
think about. They will understand
that the quicker we organize the bet
ter it will be for us.

hire you the first thing they do is
to take your fingerprints like they
do criminals.
When you come into the mill you
see blue, eagle flying, but that
eagle doesn't help you any. The
blue eagle doesn't guarantee 40-hour
work because some departments are
only working two or three days.
Since the blue eagle is flying in
the Inland Steel they have closed
four open hearth furnaces.
The bosses are making the work
ers work faster. The individual
worker is doing more than his share
of work and receiving less wages
than he got in 1929. Some of the
mills have no Mushrooms for the
workers and they have to wait to
get home to wash.
Once in a while they hold safety
meeting, but this is not to protect
the workers but the bosses. If a
worker gets hurt they tell him he
isn't careful and sometimes the
workers get bawled out or fired be-
cause of this.
They also tell workers to wear
safety shoes, which are shoes with
piece of tin protecting the toes,
and the company sells them to the
workers-which is not right because
the worker ought to get them free,
The company sells the shoes for SO
and $375. You can buy them in
any army store for -198.

(Bv Steel Worker Correspondent
KANSAS CITY, Mo.-The workers
OF the Sheffield Steel Co. have been
organized about month in the

thing being done. We have had
about four or FIVE meetings, and about
all we have is picnics and beer drink
ing and dues.
We go to work Monday hours a
day. That will mean we will get so
to rs cents less on the day. The
workers now see that MIRA means
less pay. They are starting to read
the Daily Worker now, and to find
out about the industrial union.
One Of the bosses got hold Of

into his Office and sat down and
looked it all over. Then he came
out and tried to find out who was

Tin Mill Men
Forced to Share
With Learners
(By steel Worker Correspondent

(By Steel Worker Correspondent
sPARROWS POINT, Md.-In the
tin mill department of the Bethlehem
Steel Co. plant shearmen and open
ers are being forced to work 10 hours
day days a week, because there
are so many extra men on the race"
These extra men are working as
learners" at learners wages and on
a piecework basis. So the company
is doing its part for the National Re
covery Act by putting the shearmen
and openers on a 40-hour week-10
hours a day, days a week-and let
ting them share their work with the
learners.
Shearmen are still protesting
against the new spsed-up technique,
in particular against the hand lovers
which caused 48 feedboys to be
fired and put extra work upon the
shearmen. The openers in the same
department have lately been forced
to count and stack the sheets of tin
in piles of eight, which takes them
at least three hours longer.
The. shearmen and openers re-
Gently held meeting demanding
the 8-hour day, 5-day week, no more
hand-overs, and the return of the
48 feed-boys. The company repre-
sentatives persuaded the workers to
put off the meeting for the sole pur-
pose of giving the company chance
during the three free days, Saturday
Sunday and Monday, to split the
ranks. In the meantime, they have
advised many to join the Amalga-
mated Association of Iron, Steel and
Tin Workers.
The Steel and Metal Workers In
dustrial Union, which supports all
struggles of the workers for better
conditions, warns the Shearmen and
openers against the company reps
who have tricked the workers again
and again in the past. Do not trust
their promisesl Elect your commit
tees of honest workers to represent
you now and in the future, and let
the whole committee you elect carry
your demands to the company. Fol-
low the methods that won six strikes
in the last two months for the Steel
and Metal Workers Industrial
Union!

are in Milwaukee.
These 5000 workers are divided
into three shifts of 1000 each. This is
all line work and they keep on speed
ing up this line until they have now
reached point where they can run
$50 barrels per hour. Under the
MIRA. they have cut the hours from
so and 10 per week to IS. But they
did not raise the hourly rate one
penny. Everybody gets about 40 cents
per hour.
Before, we could, by working inhu-
manly long hours, make $25 to $50 a
week, which was just about enough
to feed our families since the rise
in food prices. Now we get $14 or SIS
a week.
Besides this, when we work on the
lines the company cheats us by max
ing us clear the lines after quitting
time.
Piece Work System
In the frame departments we have
the piece work system. 1t is averaged
up for two weeks, and If we make less
than 40 cents per hour then they give
us 40 cents. But they have way
of making us work. They give us a
job once or twice week where we
can make so or IS cents for a few
hours and then we have to work like
hellall the rest of the time to make
30 cents SO as not to lose the few
cents we made on the job with the
higher rate of pay.
Now they have begun to stagger the
work more by making the men stay
home one or two days a week.
But we are building the Steel and
Metal Workers Union. We have sew
eral groups and more are joining ev-
cry day. We distributed leaflets and
had gate meeting explaining the
union, and the workers are now COM
ing to our Office at 1864 w. vliet
st. every day.
We are going to keep the Daily
Worker for sale at the factory gate.

Stage for Struggle
Against NRA Pay-Cut
Being Set in Tin Mills

(By a Worker Correspondent
NEWCASTLE, Pa.-The Blue Eagle
with the seal of approval from the
White House and letter Of intro
duction in the form of the Steel Code
grasped in it's talons, folded his wings
and came to rest in the Tin Plate
Industry!
Men previously working q full
week had their total hours reduced
to so, with corresponding cut in
wages. The 40-hour week is not
guaranteed. The Race" in the Hot
Mill Is practically abolished while
the steady crews lose day every
third week.
The hourly paid men are affected
the most by this cut. The cut varies
with individuals, anywhere from So
to $4,000. With the abolishing
of the Race" 200 men are practically
laid off, but in order to keep them
off the relief rolls, their names are
still kept on the payroll.
Workers, however, are discussing
things. A change is in progress. A
different attitude pervades the tin
mills. Slowly the stage is being set.

Bethlehem Steel
Speeds Work But
Adds No Job S
(By a Worker Correspondent

SOUTH BETHLEHEM. Pal
heard in New York about the Beth
lehem Steel Co. A fellow-worker
told me everyone could get a job
here, so / came here about three
weeks ago, but no job yet.
We workers have to stand up at
the office door from 8 o'clock in the
morning till 4 pm. There are more
than 600 waiting for job. Some
days they take two or three. They
say they pay So cents an hour, but
today two fellow workers of the De-
partment Ynglo Molding Foundry,
after the days work, were told they
only got 60 cents apiece, because
that was piece work.
In other departments, like D. E.,
they got IS cents and a bonus. A
fellow worker told me that he
worked hard all day and got a ticket
with four cents for a bonus. That
is only to speed up the workers.
Another thing. The workers here
only work 26 Or 80 hours week,
not like the newspapers said.
