Promises Are Recalled

Neither the Citizens Gas Com
pany nor the Indianapolis Water
Company have any similarly cap
toned item listed in their reports to
the public service commission. In
the reports TO the public service
commission. the water and gas COM
panies show no expenditure for this
item.
Under the heading "uncollectible
supplies and expense" the light
company reported expenditures of
ss5.S1O for 1928: slO6.276 for 1929:
sl05- 256 for 1880; Sl01 1875 for 1881.
and sos. 706 for 1882.
In recalling the promises" at the
time OF the merger when both the
promoters and the public service
commission practically pledged cleo
trio consumers that overhead ex-
penSes would be cut down, with the
elimination Of duplication. account
ants have estimated that instead of
overhead being reduced il increased
approximately IS per cent for no
apparent reason.
The overhead Of both the Mer-
chants Heat and Light Company
and the Indianapolis Light and
Heat Company before the merger
only amounted to SS.0S in 1925 and
$3.50 in 1926 as computed by ac-
countants on a per consumer basis.

Camp 5 Striking For
Workers Reinstatement
Special to NLWU

VANCOUVER, b. c., Oct. 49,
At a meeting of the crew of
Camp 5, APL, Alberni Canal, held
Tuesday night, Oct. 8. a majority
of the crew voted unanimously
in favor of strike action for re-
instatement of four of their fell
lows recently fired.
Following the meeting held in
the camp about two weeks ago.
at which a literature agent was
elected to handle the "B. @. Lum-
Der Worker" the APL bosses
made a counter move and fired
the man appointed to this task.
In attempting to call a meeting
to have this worker reinstatsd.
three others were let out.
The Lumber Workers Indust-
rial Union Immediately reacted
to this bare-faced discrimination,
rounded up the Disseminated
men, revisited the camp, where a
strike vote was taken, and de.
mands drawn up for the rein
statement of these men. Here
are the demands:
1. That the four men be REIN
stated in their former positions.
2. That the "B. c. Lumber
Worker" be sold openly.
8. That Union activities be
carried on openly without inter-
ference by the management.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Oct. 1S-
Trials of the IS workers indicted

Demurrers to the indictment
were brought by attorneys for
the defendants, employed by the

attorneys, Leo Gallagher, Thom-

presented demurrers to four of

Workers School

Ave; the price is Is cents a
course for unemployed: 81 a
course for those who have jobs.
For Women, Too
Don't get the idea that these
classes are just for the men. Wo-
men need this training as much
as their husbands and brothers
and yes, their sons.
1t is a sure cure for that infer
iority feeling which sometimes
comes over a woman when she
hears her "men folks" talking
about things way over her head"
There are to be classes in fun
damentals which will make it all
seem clear and interesting to
those who haven't thought much
about the forces behind the
class struggle; advanced classes
for those who have studied some
but want to advance faster than
they can alone.
History of the Labor Move
ment, and Trade Unionism will
be given. Besides these classes in
political theory there are three
classes which should be especial
ly attractive to women. One on
poster making and lettering
think how handy that would be
on parade days! One in mimeo-
graphing and stencil cutting; one
in Labor journalism. Please
think about that last. The Voice

LUMBER WORKERS MUST
STRUGGLE FOR JOB
CONDITIONS

SEATTLE, Oct. lS-The lumber
operators are shaping up the
quota for the last quarter, jubil-
ant over the fact that the gov
eminent is supporting them in
squeezing out the smaller lum-
Der operators who are banding to-
gether to unload their stocks at
lower price than the Code al
lows.
BY doing so they too. will be
able to reap huge profits re-
CARELESS of prices they receive;
by speeding up the production
of their quotas, by laying off
men and putting more work on
the crews remaining OH the Job
at less hours.
Conditions existing on jobs
today are the worst in the his
tory of the industry. Efficiency
measures are being installed ev-
cry day. Last weeks article car
ried a letter that is being put
into effect not only in the VIII.
lapa HarbOr Mills; but In camps
and other mills as well.
AL and Al Leadership Aid
The lumber operators are be-
ing guaranteed the workers will
not resist these speed-up meas
ures by their ALL and Al lead
ership sitting any move.
The workers fully realize what
the new Bedaux system means
to them. But feel helpless to do
anything about 1t. Their leader
ship refuses to call upon the
rank and file to strike against
the worsnning of job conditions.
The NLWU knows the senti-
ment existing in the rank and
file of the lumber workers is to
struggle.
With many unions in the lum-
Der industry, the leadership of
every one excepting the NLWU
is wholly in the employ of the
lumber operators.
Accidents occurring regularly
and the State Industrial Safety
Compliance Board does nothing
about it.
IL a worker makes complaint
about the dangers of the mills
and faulty equipment he is i'm
mediately fired from the job.
Union Calls for Action
Immediate struggles must be
developed against this endanger-
ment of the lumber workers
lives. Every rank and file men,
Der of the AL and ALL unions
must Immediately initiate a
shop committee to be elected
by all workers eliminating the
job foreman, etc.. Present your
demands and if they are reject
ed, strike!
The NLWU is fast expanding
its membership in the morgan
ICED mills and camps. An organ
national campaign is in effect,
preparing a broad struggle
against the lumber operators.
In order to make this struggle
a success it must be broadened
into all mills and camps. The
time is ripe for action and any.
one that advocates to the lum-
Der workers cooperation with the
operators in putting over such
vicious campaigns for profits,
must be Immediately exposed
and eliminated from our ranks.
The workers of the Longview
mills must Immediately force
their demands through. Gust the
fake officials that refuse to back
up your demands!

are striking in the face OF miser-
able conditions on the job. The
