Correspondent

NEW YORK.-As an l. R. T. sub
way worker and member of the
Transport Workers Union, indie
pendent, I would like to say few
words in relation to Communists
and the union.
A certain amount Of antagonism
has been expressed by the 1. R. T.
men verbally and otherwise in re-
gard to the "redness' of the union.
The Transport Workers Union has
Of course given its position on this
question and has tried to clear the
matter up by explaining rank and
file control which is the basic policy
of the union, by showing the men
that it is their union run by them
for them, by proving to them that
the bosses raise the red scare" to
split their ranks, get them fighting
amongst themselves and then take
the opportunity to smash the union.
These are valid reasons, having as
see it, only one major fault; they
fail to convince Somehow the
workers still harbor doubts, still
feel the Transport Workers Union
is "red union This feeling per-
meates a considerable section of the
rank and file in and out of the
union as well as some of the leaders
in the union.
While nothing is done today ex-
cept perhaps in individual cases here
and there to capitalize or organize
this feeling to the detriment and
probable smashing of the union, il
is my contention that something will
be done in the future, no doubt
inspired by the traction companies
to play on this sentiment as heavy
as We have ever seen it before.
In counteracting this coming ter
rife blast of "reds," I believe tbs
following steps are necessary in ad.
dition to those which the union now
follows:
An explanation must be given, al
least to some of the more advanced

individuals and groups, as to the
fighting spirit, self -sacrifice, honesty
of purpose, ETC., that the Commu-
nists who have enrolled in the
union have thus far shown. A
tribute should be paid to these
workers, at the same time calling
on the others in a spirit of fairness
to discuss the desirability of having
workers of that sort in the union,
regardless of political belief.
We should point out once more
the fact that the union is run and
controlled by the rank and file of
the transport industry and by no
one else, and if the union in the
course of building itself gets in
workers with Communist ideas so
much the better for the union and
the transport workers of New York
City.
If we explain boldly the role of
the Communists along the lines out
lined, if we put the question of the
union and the Communists in it
correctly, we will have settled in the
minds of good many workers the
question Of the "red scare" for a
long time to come.

Expose Relief Cook
In Baltimore Project

taught to cook in one Of the water
front restaurants before We had any
relief. Things were tough so I used
to give them hand in the kitchen
for my grub. When the project
opened up, Mr.. Mann gave me the
cooks job Here, look at these dis
charges. I have plenty of oilers
and firemen'S discharges!
while the galley rat was speak
ing he showed me a discharge where
he was oiler on the S. S. George
Pierce. Holding up the discharge,
he said, This is the best ship was
ever on. but most Of the ships were
rotten feeders. I always had smbi-
lions Of getting into the galley and
closer to good food. I'm going to
try to ship as cook after this. This
Is the way I'll solve my food prob
lem It's a damn poor cook who
cent cook and eat what he wants.
Look at me today, don't I look well
fed?'
The above is the main part of the
interview and proves that Duggan
had lied. He is not a cook, but an
oiler and got the job at the project
through his friendship with "Ex-
lax" Mann.
Perhaps, this is the reason the
garbage is so greasy. What can you
expect when an oiler is put in the
galley? He must be thinking he is
oiling hot bearing when he gets
hold Of a grease paint and starts
to scramble eggs.

Sugar Ship
Hungry " agon,
Says Seaman

BY Marine Worker Correspondent
BALTIMORE, Md.-T'he S. s. De-
facto is the worst ship have been
on in my fifteen years Of sailing.
She is the hungriest wagon have
ever been on. The stuff they call
coffee" would kill mule, and tea
comes once a week. This ship be-
longs to the largest sugar company,
yet all we get is the black sugar
from the cargo hold.
The reason we don't get good food
is because the captain gets the food
order and then decides how he can
make the most graft by getting the
cheapest food. There is never any
fresh fruit excepting in the salon
where they get everything including
chicken and roast pork while we get
only beans and rotten corned beef
Sometimes the crew gets the week
old leftovers from the salon.
Linen is changed every IS to 40
days with no towel or soap for the
crew, while the officers get only one
towel a trip.
The company allows twenty cents
per day man. The stewards de-
partment changes all the time be-
cause of the rotten conditions.
The crew is beginning to realize
that it is foolish to quit the ship
but the correct thing to do is to
stay aboard and organize a ships
committee elected by the .entire
crew, no matter what union they be-
long to.
Well stick together and make this
ship and all chips fit to live on by
forcing the companies to grant the
demands worked out at the Balti-
more Unity Conference last Septem-
Der.

'Push-up'on
Fruit Docks
as e0
By a Marine Worker Correspondent

BY Marine Worker Correspondent
NEW YORK. - I wish to write
about the United Fruit Company's
push-up system. Escalators galore
bring out the blood and sweat which
very nearly throws us to the floor
The company has thought up q
new system whereby they can take
from us further blood and sweat.
This is done through their two
rollers on the dock which does away
with the two. men used in the past,
and that was bloody enough. Now
it Furthermore makes 1t bloody
system for the two men in the hold
who must work to keep these two
rollers going.
Instead of the two men who in
the past worked on the dock and
put the boxes on our shoulders, we
have seven to eight men on the
dock ready to grab each box as it
comes off the rollers. This doubles
the work for the men in the hold
who have to keep up with the
bosses push-up system of grab it
and run.
Last year, before the raise, each
and every man carried his own box.
Now, the new system has come in
and they have made it worse for
! the worker.
