Trick Workers Into Signing
Petition Asking Roosevelt
To PreUent Steel Strike

sible to live on. The meeting voted
on a resolution to be sent to Presi-
dent Roosevelt, asking the President
to prevent the strike by raising the
wages of the steel workers.
The fun comes now. Honorable
Mr.. VIM. Voisine made everybody
present sign their names on an
empty sheet of paper The people
signed their names and went home.
A few men stayed behind and
asked them to read the resolution.
Some official from the steel mill
was there also. and he read the
resolutions, and it was the same
thing as proposed: that we, the
business men of Ecorse ask the
president to stop the coming steel
strike, and that's all The raising
of the wages, oh, forget about that
you are no one to bother the
president with things like that
So we can see that even the bust
ness mems sympathy is with the
workers, and that only the village
president and the steel mill officials
want to turn them against the work
ers. I am anxious to see the next
issue Of the Ecorse Advertiser, to
see how this rotten paper will play
up the above mentioned resolution.

Agency Traps Walters

On May % l went to an employ
ment agency at 108 18th St. and 1
asked for a walters job; the office
man told me that there is a boss
booking three walters to Long
Beach, to the Nassau Hotel. The
boss asked me if I was an expert
enced waiter. told him that 1
worked in several places. So the
agent told me to pay $50 for the
job, and to be ready the next morn
ing for work. The next day
landed at Long Beach, and the head
waiter told us to fix the dining
room. At about one o'clock we
asked for something to eat. The
head waiter told us that the kitchen
is not open yet, that we should
buy our own meals until the place
would open on May &c. At night
he gave us filthy place to sleep,
but, on account of the bed bugs,
nobody slept that night. So we all
quit, Then he told us that the boss
didn't pay any wages until May 80

About four weeks ago. the Philco
workers were organized into a fed

However, the union leadership sue

per cent increase for some me.l in

the Philco tool makers learned of
this, one tool maker approached the
shop steward, Scott, and demanded
that the union take some steps to
adjust the SO differential among
the tool makers in the plant, but
Scott told him that nothing could
be done about it. This worker
then got up a petition to that effect,

HARRISBURG, Pa. = My eldest
son was driving a Florida Fruit
Route up from Florida to Philips
burg, Pa, year ago today. He
met with an accident while max
ing a short curve on the way home
between Philipsburg and Bellefont,
Pa. A man by the name of Prusic
drove his model T Ford, an old
car, just in front of him on pur-
pose to get new car. He had
done the same thing to another
comrade, killing two of his family,
but the law up at Bellfonte, Pa,
won't take a case unless its against
poor man. He was put off for
10 months. he was up for trial on
the 28th-29th of this month. On
the first day they appeared at court

the judge. After all the liars had
spoken and the public disappeared,
including me, who had not been
called, he called the defendant to
his side, shook his hand, took him
into his private office.
The jury Was made up of friends
of this man Prusic. They had the
jury of his neighbors-two women
and ten men.
Witness number two was stand
ing 1000 feet away from the curve
from where the wreck happened. He
testified that the truck which my
son was driving was making rs to 30
miles an hour. This truck could
barely make IS miles an hour. Wit
mes number three was around the
curve, 800 feet from the accident.
He heard a crash, saw my son fly
out of the car. He was caught in
the wreck, which went over three
times until the door of the car tore
off his leg.
After the jury was addressed by
the district attorney and the judge,
instead of going to the jury room
the judge called recess, and they
went outside the court and talked
with the defendant and everybody

Diet for Increase in Weight
By PAUL LuTT1NGER, MD.

Diet for Increase in Weight
r. A. S.-A detailed diet has ap~
peared some time ago in the Daily
Worker, A general method of in-
creasing in weight is to eat plenty
of starches, sweets and fats, such
as cereals, potatoes, cream, butter,
bacon, etc. A supplementary meal
in the middle of the morning and
in the middle of the afternoon is
also advisable. You must also limit
the amount of work you are doing
and rest as much as possible.
Before starting on your diet, you
ought to have your urine examined
and have a metabolism test made.
The metabolism test has to be made
in Toronto. It's purpose is to find
out whether your thyroid gland is
not over-active. When this gland
is too active, the food we eat is
burned up too rapidly. 1t would
also be advisable for you to take
a test of your blood to find out
whether you are anemic These
two tests can be left for later; but
the urine examination must be
made Immediately, because if you
show any sugar or albumen in your
urine, certain articles of the diet
must be given up.

ECORSE, Michigan. - The steel
workers of Ecorse are ready to
strike. The village president of
Ecorse is working overtime to avert
the strike, hand in hand with the
bosses. Here there is a general SEN

workers say that they are ready
to fight for their unions and for
higher wages.
The village president of Ecorse
called a meeting for tonight in the
municipal building of the merch-

to avert the strike. and believe me,
some funny things happened there,
A man got the floor from River

Bv a worker CORRESPONDENT

JAMESTOWN, N. Y. II have
been working in a hardware store
in this city for over ten years.
About one year and a half ago the
wages I received were cut to the
handsome sum of $40 per week.
When the MIRA. came along I got
the grand raise of SO which made
the tota of $13 per, to feed my
family and pay rent, gas, electricity
and all the other bills. We tried
to get along on that the best we
could, and then my wife was taken
to the city hospital and gave birth
to our little daughter, and then the
fun began. First of all, the doc
tor wanted all of his cash, which
he didn't get, and of course, all
kinds of letters came telling us
what to do about the bill, but we
just couldn't convenience him, so
nobody knows what he will do Next
the "city" hospital wanted me to

meet when it would come due, so I

over last year or two years ago.
About housing and other living
conditions. This again depends on
location. Some places the apart
ments are quite modern. In other
places they are not as modern as
good American apartments; for in
stance, some houses have not yet
running hot water and very few
have gas, outside of Moscow. But
these are small things compared
with building a new social-economic
structure over one sixth of the
earth's surface. All new apartments
now being built are as good as the
best American apartments.
In conclusion I want to say, after
three years working and living here,
that this is the best country in the
world for workers. Especially for
young skilled workers here lies the
future. For workers over 40 years
who know no Russian it is rather
hard, as the language is difficult to
learn for Americans.
