By Negro Worker Correspondent
ST. LOUIS.-The Negro G. W. A.
workers are being laid off here at
the rate of 200 per day, and the
former are using all sorts OF speed
up methods to drive the men. The
Negro workers are forced to take
their work tools home with them
every night and are sent to the
farthest jobs to work and if they
are five minutes late the foreman
will not let them work that day.
One worker asked could he stay
there and start at noon, but the
foreman said that he could not work
there at all that day. The bosses
even turn their time in short and
offer no assistance in helping the
G. w. A. workers get their time
straight. The workers are cheated
Of from ten to twenty-five dollars of
what they call hold back time.
We know it's hold back time and
the G. W. A. bosses intend to hold
it back until the first of May, when
the G. W. A. Offices will be
abandoned and the G. w. A. work
ers will not know where to 60 and
collect this back time.

So I beg you to do something about

tractors and construction union
members to set wage scales and
working conditions for the code, the
contractors granted 81 per hour to
the bricklayers and plasterers and
offered rs cents per hour to the

ing Of the executive committee Of

voted ten to one to refuse both
rs cents and 80 cents.
A contractor spokesman then init
mated that they would organize a
company union and pay so cents.

at the suggestion Of Fred Eisler, the
executive committee of the local
carpenters union, called a mass
meeting on Monday, Feb. IS, at
which they resolved TO fight for 81

PRAISE FOR ARTICLES ON
AUSTRIAN SITUATION


Congratulations on the splendid
article, "Austria-How It Hap
pened," by Otto Lessner in yester-
days Daily" Such clear, con-
else account Of that postwar his
tory of the Austrian workers and
the treacherous role Of the Socialist
leaders should be issued in PAM
phlet form for immediate distribu-
ton among the Socialist rank and
file.
ALI my immigrant friends are
supporters of the British Labor
Party, but are rapidly losing faith
in the yellow Second International;
a few more articles like Otto Less
ner's will complete their disillusion-
n1ents and win these workers for
the revolution.
I am not a member of the Party,
but have not missed reading a
single edition of the Daily" for
three years; 1t has improved so
much Of late that I have stopped
buying the SNUG, hypocritical N. Y.
Times.

NRA Shields Hospitals From
Improving York Conditions
Women SIave for 10 to II Hours Day at
Miserable Pay in St. Louis Institutions

their wages to the poor of st. Louis.
Many Of these workers have their
meals served to them in a cold
dining room, within a few feet Of
the morgue or disSecting room,
which has a tendency to throw off
foul order in the eating place.
These workers are not allowed the
use Of the main dining room, where
they might be comfortable.
A Slave Driver
In one department Of this in
stitution they have one genuine
slave driver, who has charge Of the
house men, orderlies, maids. paint
ers maintenance, laundry and some
other workers. A Il or 1S-hour
day among her slaves is Just a drop
in the bucket for her department.
The name of this generous old girl,
7 believe, is Oberg.
In case anybody says anything
about a raise in wages, the reply
comes back at once, we are just
about ready to close the doors Of
the place. But any time you go
there for room and service you
pay from $50 to $45 per week.
I will say in conclusion the work
ers IN these institutions do not need
the N. r. A. but they certainly do
need working class education and
a good solid union for their own
protection.
In the last two weeks this hos
pital has discharged several men
and women because they we're try
ing to organize these workers, and
they were making some inroads on
the other workers.
