into the hands of the workers
through the trade unions. If work
ers don't read the Daily" naturally
it is hard to go to them for support.
Every trade union should make it
its duty to see that the New York
Daily is sold among its members
and workers in the industry.
The New York Daily Worker can
be sold On the waterfront, where
the majority of seamen are broke, a
member of the Marine Workers In
dustrial Union who has been as
signed by the union to sell the
Daily among the seamen, sells on
an average of 48 to so daily. When
there is extra marine news, more
than this amount is sold. During
the recent strike, besides the free
distributions, an average of 200
copies were sold daily. Not that
this is enough, but the sales are
improving, and the Daily Worker is
recognized by the seamen as their
paper. The M. w. I. U. hereby
challenges other unions to write
into the Daily Worker telling what
they are doing to increase the sales
of the New York Daily Worker.

Relief Racket Aids
Unsanitary Housing

NEW YORK.-Just a few lines to

are the tenants who pay rent with
relief checks in the house No. 1872
IA w. 18th st.
A few days ago I went there to
see a friend of mine. I really be-
came sick at the terrible odor that
permeated the entire house.
questioned my friend as to why
he agreed to live in such terrible
conditions He replied that he was
not able to move from there as the
landlady had too much pull with
the Home Relief investigators of the
124th st. and Lenox Ave. station.
If any one intended to move, they
would lose their relief.
I think that the Department of
Sanitation should investigate this
house which is inhabited by human
beings under such deplorable con-
ditions with the rent being paid by
the Welfare Department.
I believe that if the rent was
given to the tenant in the form of
cash instead of a ticket it will be
of great benefit These on relief
are in many cases receiving the
worst type Of abuse from the land
lords in the form of higher rent, bad
service and lack Of efficiency in any
respect.

pale, and before we had a chance
to take the elevator down, they

those that had not been getting it

The lesson is clear. They stalled
until we showed them we meant

work until they granted our de-

DIV a WOrker Oorrespondent

RACINE, Wis.-Just a line on
how the A. F. of L. works here
Here in Racine We have had some
strikes where the A F. Of L. could
have done some good work for the
workers. When it was against the
big companies, they hold those on
strike to take care Of themselves
When it comes to picketing a little
one man barber shop the A. F. OF
L. gets members from Nash's who
have no work, to go and picket
these one horse barber shops for
one dollar per day.
This is the scheme these takers
use to keep the members in good
standing. They have a waiting list
and those that have no money to
pay dues, they let them picket
enough to pay their dues.
One Nash worker who has a sick
child needed a hot water bottle and
went to the relief department to ask
for one. They told him he could
not have one. He then went to the
union to ask for a picket job so he
could earn two dollars to buy a hot
water bottle. They did this in
stead of getting a committee to-
gether from the union to force the
relief officials to come across with
a hot water bottle.

DETROIT, Mich.-Why is it that
Frank x. Martel, President of the
Detroit Federation of Labor is is
suing attacks against the local AT.
of l.. Committee for Unemployment
Insurance and Relief and its mem
bers? For the past two years this
gentleman has followed the policy of
squashing any discussion or pub
hcity that the committee may have
received through discussions in the
Central Body or local unions, and
processing ignorance of any such
committee. The reason that he has
not changed his tactics is linked up
directly with the drive against the
Communists, initiated by Green
and the Executive Board of the A.
F. of L.
The local A. F. of L. Committee
for Unemployment Insurance and
Belief, taking into consideration the
critical relief situation in the city,
the vicious slash in relief to work
-ers on projects and direct relief,
decided to call a conference to take
concrete action on this burning is
sue.
The call for the conference was
sent out to all local unions and mass
organizations. The response was
very pleasing. At a meeting of the
Central Body Of the ALL, a week
before that, charges had been placed
against one Of the members of the
A. F. L. Committee, Allen, Bakers
Local 20. and these charges were Of
such flimsy nature that this prov
ovocative attack was obviously
meant to provoke this worker. who
was a delegate to the Central Body,
and if possible, secure further evid-
ence against him. The issuing Of
the red scare by Martel in this
meeting fell completely fiat, instead
-the response was in favor of the
relief conference which the local

for Nov. 18th.

New Naval Construction
Carried Through Under
Intense Speed-Up
By a Navy Yard Worker
Correspondent

NEW YORK-There has been a
lot of talk about the nearness OF
war lately. Well, if the way they
are working in the Brooklyn Navy
Yard means anything, it certainly
looks like the Government is get
ting ready for something big.
At present there are being built,
or about to be built, seven ships.
And how are they being built?
You'd think 1t was a private ship
yard the way the men are being
speeded up. In every shop the men
are turning out the work two or
three times as fast as they used to.
New machines have been intro
duced in the shipfltter shop, mach
inc shop, sheet metal shop and sew
eral others. What the machines
don't do, the men are forced to do
1t is about time we Yard work
men got wise to the fact that we
are doing the dirty work for Wall
st. The ships we are building will
be used against workers just as in
the last war Not only this, but the
offivers are trying to turn out ships
much faster and cheaper at our ex-
pense.
The A. F. of L. locals don't do
anything about it. In fact, all the
officials ever do is collect the dues
regularly. The whole trouble is that
lot of the men have taken dis
gusted attitude and stay away from
meetings. Let's make the A. F. of L.
do something about our shop condi-
tons.
The more money for wages and
better conditions means less money
for battle ships that kill workers.

On Nov. 18th about 4 p. m, a
half hour before quitting time, a
notice was posted saying that on
account of financial difficulties and
so on the place would close until
such time as they could get a gov

Most of the workers had two
weeks wages due, but did not get
a cent. They were told to come
back in a few days, or perhaps next
week before they would get their
money.

To f &c
Eviction
By a Worker Correspondent


READING, Pa.-The avarice and
brutality of capitalist landlords
knows no bounds. Nor are the
landlords of this city an exception.
The activities of local organizations
of the unemployed have brought to
light within the past few days a
terrifying example of this fact.
In an effort to force his eviction,
efforts Of other character having
failed to produce the desired (by
the landlord) results, the owner of
the house heretofore occupied by
the family Of Charles Cunnius, 222
Washington ST., Reading, removed
the doors, broke the windows CHS

table set for a meal and took off
the lid Of the cook stove Ga coal
stove).
The family was made to go hun
CRY, its dinner having been spread
around the floor and rendered I'M
eatable, and the workers wife, his
child and himself left exposed to
the cold.
The most that the local relief
body could do was to propose that
the wife and child go to the Sal
walton Army for the night and
they referred the husband and
father to the Poor Board. The lat
ter was, of course, helpless" with
the result that the man spent the
night in his delapidated home. :"
Upon the application of some pres
sure from the organized unem-
ployed, The Poor Board found it
possible to pay one months rent
($15) on another house, which, the
worker reports, sis pig-pen.'
Cunnius, unemployed for a long
time, was employed for a few
months ending last May on So
called work relief" projects of the
G w. A. and State Emergency Re-
lief Board. Since that time his
family of three has been living"
on a $2.95-a-week food voucher. He
owes seven months rent.

Report Pay Delay Speed-up
Safety Sham Barred
By Navy Yard Worker
By a Navy Yard Worker Cor
respondent

NEW YORK.-The Brooklyn
Navy Yard is listed as the
dirtiest Navy Yard in the
country.
Each year, the Navy Depart
ment conducts an inspection of
all the yards. These inspections
have become a real joke. Two
or three days before inspection,
everybody is told to clean up.
In the machine shop most of
the machines were painted and
attempts were made to put all
sorts of jigs, bolts and hum
dreds of other contraptions that
are usually thrown around in
any old place into certain def
mite places. This attempt at
cleanliness lasts about a week
after inspection and then every
thing is again thrown around.
Similar things happen just
before a safety inspection.
Guards are put around ma
chimes, coverings are put around
gear, etc.
All this activity is carried on
only for the benefit of the in
spectors and not with the OBJ
ject of safeguarding the health
of the workers. We must de-
mand that these conditions
exist always and not Just before
inspections.

S. A Month
On Dangerous
II elief Job s
By a Worker Correspondent

LOS ANGELES Transient work
ers by the score are hitting the
highways for Los Angeles from the
Mojave forced-labor camps of the
Los Angeles Bureau of Power and
Light.
Work is extremely hazardous, yet
the workers get only the usual
transient camp $500 monthly and
then only provided they stay out
the month.
One worker says that many of
them are leaving the camps after
only four or five days stay, due to
the intolerable conditions. This
same worker declared that regular
city water department employees
doing essentially the same work
are getting $500 daily, as contrasted
with the transient workers $500
monthly and found"
why should we be forced, be-
cause of our helplessness, to perform
the same identical labor as that
done by regular city employees for
only $500 monthly?" asked this
worker. ut seems to me that if
officials really were interested in
eliminating unemployment and rails
ing the standard of living for work
ers that they would employ ALL
workers at this rate"
This worker stated that Mexican
and Negro transient camp workers
are segregated from white workers
and every effort is made to keep the
workers from organizing and getting
together.
The principal job at which the
transient camp workers are put is
cleaning out the aqueducts and
creosoting them inside. This is
dangerous and brings on fostering
sores from creosote burns. When
workers protest, the bosses tell them
to Shut up or hit the road"
1.-THE camps are particularly ILL
equipped, even for transient camps, !"
said this worker, and food is
terrible
It's hazardous Uorh," said G. A.
Billig, director of the service. THE
men have to wear gas masks on &C
count of the paint fumes and are
lowered into the line through man
holes"
The transient camp worker in
terviewed, however, declared that no
gas masks were supplied the work.
ans and, apparently most of them
do not know that such negligence
will result in lead poisoning for all
those in the pipelines. Billig, how
ever, does know it, hence his declar-
alton that gas masks are provided.
Before the men go out on the
job they sign agreements that they
understand they are virtually re-
ceiving only maintenance instead
of wages or contract pay. The gov
eminent maintains the men and the
water department supplies the tools,
equipment, camps and supervision, y
explained Billig.
What he didn't explain was that
the men are not informed of the
nature of the job or the unusual
hazards to life and health, before
shipping out on the job.
Until this year, according to H.
A. Van Norman, chief engineer of
the water department, men were
paid $500 daily, common labor pay,
for such work. Thus, the depart
ment is saving at least $4,000
monthly on the basis of the present
crew of 235 men.
