Insurance Firms
Chisel Agents
Pay Down to SIS
(By a Worker CORRESPONDENTS


NEW YORK-The great mass OF
insurance agents working for billion
dollar corporations are beginning to
manifest distinct signs of uneasiness.
While the salary Of the officers in
most insurance companies range
from $4,000 per year and upwards,
the agents, directly responsible for
the development of the companies,
and the building up Of huge profits,
are forced to work under very bad
conditions.
When an agent is hired, he is
forced to post a bond Of $3.50. In
addition he is compelled to deposit
with the company cash security in
the sum of $3.50. The company
charges the agent 6 per cent interest
on his bond, deducting these charges
from the piteously small salary paid
to the agent. For the cash security
deposited with the company, he is
allowed no interest whatsoever. Thus
the situation arises where the COM
pany, having obtained $3.50 from
thousands of agents, has the use OF
millions of dollars without obi
eating themselves to pay one dollar
in interest. Try to borrow from an
insurance company; see whether
they will loan you a nickel without
exacting their pound of flesh.
Pay Cut In Many Ways
In addition to deductions made for
interest on the bond, the $25 salary
promised the agent. is further
slashed by charges for canvassers'
license. The company holds each
agent responsible for losses, short
ages, adjustments and resort to any
other pretext in order to flatten the
pay envelope of an agent.
Rarely have I seen an agent earn
more than SIS per week, and most
of them are married men with fam
lilies. We are compelled to dress de-
Gently, though lord only knows from
where we are expected to get Suffi-
Gent money to dress at all.
Then there is the question of COM
missions. We are paid a small COM
mission on new policies obtained for
the company, provided that there
are no lapses in the original list of
policies. In times like this it is
clear that millions of policyholders
are dropping their insurance every
day. In short, seldom does the COM
pany pay for the new business it &C
CURES, and these new policies arc
the greatest asset owned by the in
surance companies.
Regardless of the number of years
an agent might have been employed,
his failure to produce new policies
for a period of two or three weeks
means his immediate discharge with
out notice.
We are forced to work days and
nights, collecting, canvassing, solicit
ing, distributing advertisements. Sat-
urday afternoon and holidays are de-
voted to pep" meetings which we
must attend under threat Of losing
our jobs.
Editors Note: Advice on how to
organize against these conditions
can be obtained from the Trade
Union Unity Council, 79s Broadway,
New York.

and 1,150 on Saturday-which is still
about 300 below what they were d
year ago and more than 1000 less
than were being sold about three
years ago.
q. OF about 80 Party units in
Detroit, only So - less than half
we're getting the Daily.
S. Only 80 carrier routes we're in
existence in the entire city.
6. In Henry Ford's Dearborn,
chief concentration section of the
district, a city with population of
65 900, where a mass workers united
front election movement had been
developed, involving thousands of
workers, q grand total Of SIS (fifty-
five) Daily Workers were being sold
each day.
What Is Wrong?
What is wrong? We're the reso-
lutions that were adopted bad reso-
lutions? Units discuss the Open Let
ter, pass resolutions making the
Daily Worker part OF their concen-
tration work-and then don't even
, bother to get the Daily! How is
this possible?
It is clear that nothing was funda-
mentally wrong with the resolutions,
but everything was wrong with car
rying them out In other words, in
the very act Of resolving to make
the change demanded in the Open
Letter, in regard to the Daily Worker
| everything was left unchanged. An
old story? But the Open Letter is
not an Old story; the Open Letter
! means business!
The greatest share of the blame
for this situation must be placed on
the District Daily Worker Commit
tee and the District Buro. In fact,
it was not until September 20, more
than two months after the Open
Letter was issued, that the Daily
Worker Committee and the Buro fin
! ally checked up and learned the dis
NAL facts. The section committees
are also to blame - not the units,
which in many cases have not been
shown how to work, how to solve
their problems, how to carry out in
practice the Open Letter. But the
section committees can say quite
justly that they received no criti-
cism or guidance from those COM
rades most actively in charge of the
Daily Worker in this district. And
they can also say that no efforts
we're made to popularize the new g.
page Daily; in fact, this question
was not even discussed by the Buro
and the Daily Worker Committee.
This situation is reflected also in
the financial campaign for the Daily
Worker. No organizational prepara-
tions were made in advance of the
campaign, and the result is that four
weeks after the start of the drive,
the Detroit District has raised only
about one-quarter of its $4,000 quota,
while many of the Party units have
not yet turned in a cent. Here too
we find that section committees
adopted ambitious plans, calling not
only for raising funds, but for secur-
ing subs and increasing sales-and
, then promptly forgot about them.

to accomplish it. Take cover from
boss's eyes. If he can guess who dis
tr1buted the leaflets, Is per cent of
them are forfeited to him.
Then the workers spread the
papers on the floor of the factory and
come out on strike, forming a picket
line between the factory and boss,
scabs and police. The object of the
latter group is to get into the fac

Need Militant
Lea ership
(By a Striker Correspondent.1


BROOKLYN, N. we were called
cut on strike on Monday, Oct. 16, by
the American Federation of Labor,
Local 282, for demands which the
workingmen think are impossible to
get-$35 a week for driving IL ton
trucks; $40 for 31a ton trucks and SAT
for 71a ton trucks.
The strike has been going on all
week and we have no answer from
the bosses as to what settlement they
are going to make. We were working
for $26 and $50 a week, while the
yard men worked for SIC and $18 a
week.
We held meeting last Friday and
there were about 600 workers present.
You could see that they were not or
ganized because they want to get
back to work for the same salary as
before, as some have families and
have no money to pull through the
week. The lunbermen have never
struck before. They have always
GOTTEN the smallest wages in the city.
Leaders Of the American Federation
OF Labor promised the men that they
will win the strike for them, and that
they are going to have a meeting with
the MIRA. committee on Monday,
Oct. %.
No other press had anything on
the strike in their papers, except the
Freil1eit.
