Why Misleaders of Labor Endorse
The National Recovery Act
The Meaning of the National Reco very Act--Article ILL.,

bosses and the government in many
ways. The A. T. Of L. officials will
attempt to head off and crush the
developing strike movement for wage
increases by false promises Of future
improvements. They will help the
government and get government as
sistance to smash the militant unions
and drive the thousands of workers
who are opposed to their policies into
their organizations under their ma
chine-ridden, corrupt, class cellabora-
ton leadership.
Labor Takers On Government Board
The government has already Off
cially recognized the A. F. Of L. by
placing on the Labor" Advisory
Board for the administration of the
National Recovery Act, the notorious
traitors to the workers interests
Matthew Vol, John L. Lewis, William
Green.
The purposes of the National Re-
covery Bill and the treachery Of the
labor officials can be defeated by the
workers through organization, in the
mines and factories and through
carefully prepared strike struggles
under the leadership Of the militant
trade unions of their own choice, for
the right to strike and for the recog-
milton Of shop committees elected
democratically by all the workers in
the shop.
The workers must energetically I'M
dertake the task of building militant
unions among the lnorganized and
to strengthen and defend the mill
tant unions already in existence
against the attacks of the triple alli-
ance OF bosses, government and A. F.
of L. and Amalgamated officialdom.
The militant unions are the bull
wark against the new Roosevelt at
tacks and against the inroads of the
A. F.. of L. among the vast sections
of the working class. 1t is our task
to build and strengthen our militant
unions and spread them in every in
dustry.

Teacher College Feels
New Prosperity in
Wage Reductions
By a Student CorrespOndent.}


PITTSBURG, Kan.-The State
Legislature in the last session passed
a bill for a reduction of % per cent
in the appropriation for all state in
stitutions for the next two years.
In order to operate under this
budget the Kansas State Teachers
College of Pittsburg will discharge
many of it's 116 faculty members, thus
putting more work on the ones re-
tanned with a Is per cent reduction
in salary. This reduction affects all
faculty members, office assistants and
custodians of buildings and grounds.
These employees will not know until
next August who will remain and who
will not.
Formerly student help on the
campus received 80 cents an hour.
Now it has been reduced to Is cents
and fewer students are employed. In
some departments, student assistants
have been eliminated entirely.
The instructors in the Printing
Department are among the lowest
paid teachers on the campus. In this
department production has so over
Swallowed the instruction side that
it has almost ceased to be training
school for printers and teachers Of
printing, but has become CONNER
cial investment in which the state
completes with the trade by utilizing
free student labor.
The employment OF student labor
has been eliminated entirely from
this department and the teaching
force cut down last year. In spite OF
this. more and more work Is thrust
on the department. This shop Is con-
sidered one of the best equipped
school shops in the middle west and
saves the college hundreds Of dollars
each year. Yet its instructors are the
lowest paid teachers on the campus
and no money is allowed for student
help to relieve part of the burden.
The students enrolled in the depart
ment for the purpose of receiving in
structions are in reality paying the
state of Kansas about $50 a year for
the privilege Of working in its shop
without pay. w. A. Brandenburg-
president Of the college, has informed
these instructors number Of times
that they are free to quit at any time
that they become dissatisfied with
their job because he can secure
plenty more to take their places.
Concerts, plays, socials and stu
dent functions Of various kinds re-
quire much extra labor on the part
Of janitors and engineers on the
campus who are now receiving only
living wage, and next year will have
that reduced 25 per cent with Roose-
velt's initiation forcing the cost OF
| living higher and higher,

Break Rent Strike
Terms at Sick and
Death Benefit House

NEW YORK-Despite the signing
Of an agreement between the Work
mans Sick and Death Benefit Fund,
who own the house at 556 Fox st. in
the Bronx, and the house committee
terminating the rent strike last
March, the new agent Of the house,
John Penger, is disregarding the
terms of agreement.
Penger not only refuses to accept
Home Relief Bureau checks in pay
ment for rent but also campaigns
for the ousting Of all tenants who
Anticipated in the rent strike.
Two families have been forced to
move through the activities Of this
agent. Though the chairman Of the
house committee has paid her rent
to date Penger has listed her as
amongst the foremost "undesirables.
The tenants Of the house are de-
manding Of the Workman's Sick and

BY a Worker Correspondent

BY NOrEer correspondent
PHILADELPHIA, Pa. H aYt ing
been a member of Local II, American
Federation Of Musicians, for 20 years,
7 wish to write to you about the con-
ditionS here.
We have a membership OF over
1000, about IT'S employed. These en-
ployed are given work through the
office. If one is thick with an Off
cial he gets work when there's a job
We also buried Depression here.
On May 10, 1888, we had big pa
rade here, headed by the Daily News
"a paper the workers read. and
threw a coffin containing depression
(they call it gloom here), into the
river. But still at the Union here
they give out flour Most Of the men
are on the doctors list for eating so
much flour.
One of the important things 7 am
writing to you about is the Employ
ment Fund. There has been a sum
Of money created for us and our
families in distress. There are sew
eral hundred men in need, who are
supposed to get money from this
fund.
In order to fill the strong box Of
the Union to take care Of the para
sites, the men are compelled to work
for nothing here. For instance, last
week 30 men were sent to the zoo to
play for the animals and some people
who happened to be there. The job
was supposed to pay $12, but instead
of getting the money which we badly
needed, the Union took IS from the
fund for each that played, and placed
it in the Unions strongbox to take
care of the officials who get large
salaries for doing damage instead of
good for the starving men and their
families. The S. goes towards the
dues that we owe. This is the way
we are taken care Of.

Job Shark Returns Sc
After Workers Picket
By a Worker CORRESPONDENT


NEW YORK.-A young worker,
Gabriel zogbry, 465 Pacific Street,
paid his all for STEADY job as a
soda man but soon found out it was
fuke. The shark of the Academy
Employment Agency, 1857 Sixth Ave
nue., kept stalling him off with the
usual promises.
The Sixth Avenue Job Grievance
Committee was on the JOB and the
spokesman demanded the Sc paid by
the worker. The shark refused to
return any part of the fee. The
Committee started picketing the place
and the shark called the police, who
chased the workers. A half hour
later the committee was back on the
job picketing.
After finding out that the workers
were determined, the shark came
downstairs like cringing rat and
asked, Where is the man?" Amid
boos and PAY off" the shark paid

A. F. of L. has developed an over
whelming yearning to help the mass
es improve their conditions. Fresh
from their job Of helping the bosses
pare down the working standards of
the organized workers gained through
many struggles, the A. F. of L. now
comes forward to champion their in

For example, John L. Lewis now
pleads, through the columns of the
U.M.WA. official journal for the

There is but one way for men in
the coal industry to reap any benefit

He is careful not to say what their
ambition is. Marching forward" I'M
der Lewis, who has driven coal miners
conditions down to that of peonage,
is to march forward completely into
the arms of the mine owners.
Another example is the appeal OF
the Utah State Federation of Labor
to the employers of the State to help
them organize the workers. In it,
the secretary declares, Communist

organize wage-earners. The CO.

1t merely continues the present scale
of 38 cents a ton and 1928 for day
work.
The new agreement outlaws strikes
and substitutes arbitration machinery
to take care Of all grievances. A court
of operators and miners chosen by
the U.M.W.A. misIeaders will take up
these questions and final appeal is
to rest with an arbitration board OF
three college professors appointed by
Roosevelt and Governor White of
Ohio. Not one miners representa-
tive is to sit on this final Board OF
Appeals.
The Board members appointed are
Or. George Richtmire of Ohio State
University, DR.. William S. Leiserson
of Antioch College and Dr. E, ]. Mil
lett, University Of Chicago.
With Roosevelts Help
Officials of the United Mine Work
ers of America have been negotiating
this agreement since May II when
the temporary wage scale expired.
Percy Tetlow, Lewis personal repre-
sentative in the Ohio fields, appealed
to President Roosevelt for interven-
ton and the arbitration board of COL
lege professors was then appointed.
The UMWA officials are directly re-
sponsible for bringing about the ar
bitration plan and outlawing the only
weapon the workers have to win i'm
provements in their conditions. The
arbitration plan leaves the coal
miners to the mercy of friends of the
bosses who usually serve on such COM
mittees. AS a result of the agreement,
more than 1000 miners returned to
their jobs on June with no i'm
provements in their conditions. Only
the racketeering UMWA officials have
gained, for they will now have the
check-off on the miners wages roll
ing into their pockets.

NEW STRIKE REPORTED
 MADE IN RAMSAY MINE
Valdez Miner)

A new ore body, carrying high values in gold, was uncovered re- gently in the Ramsay-Rutherford mine, now being operated by James Pinkey. Samples of ore from the strike, brought to town, show the ore to be highly mineralized and to carry much free gold which is freely sprinkled throughout the rock.
 The new strike was made on the 300-foot level, and from it's trend, appears to be a part of the vein system which makes its appearance on the Pinochle group, A mile or more distant, and on which the surface showings are exceptionally rich.
 A short mill run was made on ore from the new strike, and the yield is reported to have been very satisfactory. Lack of fuel oil will delay further milling operation until a new supply has been re- ceived.
