They failed to break up the meet

We are going to hold meetings in

pany the union has power and
more. The bosses of j. & L. tell
the workers when they get two days
per week that it is plenty.
The thugs are going around to
Negro homes warning them not to
join the union because if they do
the white people will put them out
of work and so out of town. They
tell all white and colored not to at
tend any union meetings for they'll
feel sorry later. The speaker Of the
meeting told the crowd in front of
the j. & L. thugs and spies to at
tend all the meetings and join the
union. In other j. & L. towns the
police are searching all automobiles

in the j. & L. plant that the union
is 80 per cent strong and are going
to pull a strike.

PEORIA, Ill.-A bitter fight for
control of the Keystone Steel g.

tons on the board of directors is
now going on here.
While these labor exploiting
bosses are washing their dirty linen,
much information of great interest

indicated in letter by President
Todd to all stockholders. The Key
stone plant earned $765,506 in the
calendar year 1888, although a large
steel company in the same period
"1ost" $36,000,000, it is stated. A
personal statement by President
Todd includes among others the
following:

beginning.
With the warning, Look out,
Florida, the enemy is at your
gates!" the Observer came out on
Sept. 7 with headlines that "the
Communists urge Florida workers
to strike" and "Agitators capitalize
on the unemployed situation by
urging all workers to unite for
higher wages" In that case, what
it really means is that the Com
munist Party is the only working
class party that tries to organize all
the workers for better wages, less
hours, more relief for the starved,
unemployed masses, and for the
immediate improvement of the
whole working class in general.
Mr.. Lord, we, the hungry people
of Jacksonville, know that we made
and built everything, but we have
nothing, and those who have every
thing do not work. Only the Com
NUNS teach us how to better our
conditions. I am convinced by now
that there are only two ways out
one is to sit down and starve and
die like yellow dogs, and the other
is the Communist way, which
teaches us how to organize and
educate ourselves on the class basis
for the class struggle, to FIGHT for
our rights.

The electric plant of the Iowa
Power and Light Company was put

Of a strike called by the Inter
national Brotherhood of Electrical
Workers, Local 499.
Governor Clyde Herring served as
the strike-breaking agency. He no.
titled the labor officials that the
plant must operate. In spite of the
fact that thousands of Des Moines
workers were ready and eager to
continue the strike and win all de-
mands, the union officials con-
cluded a 3-way agreement between
the company, the company union
and themselves. The agreement
provides for negotiation and arbi-
tration," and is hailed as a victory
by the union officials. 1t leaves the
company union still in control of
the situation with power to con-
tinue their campaign of intimida-
ton and coercion against the work
ers of both the gas and electric
company. The agreement promises
no more strikes and leaves wage
scales untouched.
NOTE: The workers in this cleo

aged by the selI-out of their lead
ers from continuing their struggle
to improve conditions. Organiza-
ton of the militant elements in

may result in a strike of the en-
tire plant. Another attempt was
then made by the management. On
Wednesday, Sept 5th, the entire
grievance committee of the union
was called in, ito talk over matters"
The manager, Mr.. Burnison, at
tempted the old gag, Of telling the
committee that the r. c. A. Victor
was paying the highest wages in
the industry, and that therefore
they could not pay any more. If
compelled, he threatened they will
simply have to shut down these de-
partments, and buy their material,
cabinets, ETC., outside. The COM
mittee was not scared, and stood
on its rights. Then the manager
came out openly that the indus
trial unions are a curse for Camden,
and that he prefers to deal with
its own workers organized into an
inside union. Thus he admitted
openly Chat ne likes the Company
Union.
The following day, the Commit
tee from P. D. No. So, met him,
and he agreed that if the men, were
to accept the piece work, then the
firm would agree to pay every work
err at least Is per cent above the base
rate. At a meeting held of that
the workers agreed to
accept that proposal, provided the
Company signs an agreement guar
anteeing that every worker will
make Is per cent above the base.
This again must teach us the
important lesson that only through
organization can we gain better
conditions The workers in the R.

should now organize, and prepare

FLINT, Mich. = The majority of
the Negro workers have been laid

Most of the factories will work two

long it is not known yet. According
to Mr.. Sloan, there will be unthink-

cause General Motors is going to
start building houses on production.
Within three days house will be
completed, ready to move in. The
workers are wondering just how
they will be able to buy those
houses when they can't afford to
maintain the ones they have.
Mr.. Sloan probably has beautiful
dreams of what great profits will
come to their pockets and how to
develop a better speed-up.

Evangelist
Serves As
Nazi Tool
By a Worker Correspondent

CHARLOTTE, N. Chg "revi-
val" meeting on in Charlotte. Rev.
DR.. M. F. Ham, the noted evangel-
ist, is stomping up and down the
"sawdust trail" With words of
flame he is searching the poor sin
ners who tolerate Russian Reds,
Bolshevikis, and labor unions" in
their city. With still more fiery
words the reverend" lauds the
praises of Hitler and Hitlerism. ="
Carrying out the true Fascist line,
Ham in Sundays sermon launched
a brutal attack against all Jews,
saying they were cursed of God,"
and children of the devil" He
praised the way Hitler had "purged
the news stands and libraries of all
Communist literature" in Germany
and made it impossible for the filthy
bolsheviks" to raise a voice Ham
said Germany is doing more TO
defend protestant ideals than any
other nation"
Banging on his desk and almost
knocking the loud speaker over,
Ham grabbed up little book titled
The Truth About Hitler published
by the Silver Shirts at Ashville,
N. c., and cried: Il wish you folks
would read the truth about Ger
many. I wish you would learn how
Hitler is striving to free the country
from the clutches Of Bolshevism."
Then like an insane man he raved
for straight twenty minutes about
the Red Curse" and the Soviet
Union. His filthy attacks on the
Russian workers, his positive attack
on the Jewish people and his praise
for Hitler who brutally murders
workers and their leaders, marks
this reverend as an agent of Hitler
in America and a religious cloak be-
hind which the fascist organization
of the Silver Shirts" takes place!
The huge tabernacle" in which
Reverend Ham exhorts his audience
to hit the sawdust trail to Hitler
ism" was significantly enough erect
ed with cooperation of the city
council for Hams use during the
three weeks he is to be here. 1t
was built at a tremendous expense
and seats eight to ten thousand.
The audience is mostly business men
and small shopkeepe-s.
