The second article, exposing COM
pany unions and calling workers to
Build a fighting Industrial Union"
is interesting, factual and parsua-
sive. Here again it is good to note
how thoroughly organization-con-
scious our comrades are, even to
the point Of giving the address of
the revolutionary union and calling
on the workers to get in touch with
the organization and boosting the
official paper Of cur union. While
this is good procedure, the COM
rades must actively build the union
in the shop and not rely solely upon
response to the call for the workers
to write to the union.
There are three important points
that must be raised in connection
with the second article. First, in
stating that the bosses want com
pany unions, it is necessary to
make clear that the bosses prefer
to have no organization of any kind
for the workers. and show in plain
language that the rehabilitation Of
the workers brings about the &C
ton Of the bosses in foisting COM
pany unioniSm upon the toilers in
order to fool them. Also it is i'm
portant to show why, in the event
of failure of company union
schemes, the bosses call in the A. F.
of L. takers. Secondly, the paper
should deal with other airplane
workers struggles in the U. S..
Thirdly, in playing I'D the encour-
aging progress Of the Steel and
Metal Workers Industrial Union
care should be exercised to avoid
exaggeration.
The comrades write that the S. NJ
w. I. Union has won smashing vic
tories during recent months" in the
Republic Steel Corp, Wickwire-
Spencer. Standard Forging, Column
bia Radiator. and scores of other
plants" Now this is not exactly so.
1t is true, however, that our union
carried on splendid battles, won
many partial victories and grew in
numbers and i'll power. But workers
who may know of our struggles will
not have confidence in our veracity
if we exaggerate our victories. For
example: at Standard Forging the
strike was lost; at Republic we had
no smashing victory; at Columbia
we won partial victory, etc,
A good start has been made with
the letters from workers of four

Penn. r. r. Fires Older
Men To Effect Pay Cut
Uses FTame-up Methods To Fire Cooks in Order
To Rehire Them at LOlCer Salaries

Chef William Victor, of Sunny
side Yards, New York. after d years
oflservice on the Penn. R. R., is the
Safest victim of the systemwide scale
of masked wage cuts which that
road has adopted in order to fur
ther increase profits at the expense
Of the workers.
The flimsy frame-up used to re-
duce Victor from chef at $40 a
month to second cook without
seniority at $50 a month is that he
did not see someone in his car
throw out a package of food while
his car was passing through Nor
risville, Pa.
According to the statement which
Yves used to denote him, while the
train was passing Morrisville, Pa,
a company detective saw someone
throw out a package from the
dining car. Two detectives met the
train at Penn. station in New York
City and took Herman Bodley, sec
ond cook off on the way to Boston
and the following day Victor was
told by Superintendent Robinson
that Bodley admitted having thrown
food off the train at that point
since Jan. l. That he had done this
at least twenty times during that
period, and, that in order to keep
it from Victor, he had reported
early and secreted the food and
had it hidden when Victor arrived
After Victor showed him that in
order to check the supplies he
would have to spend the entire time
away from the range making a con-
slant inventory, Robinson insulted
MIN by saying that he was probably
guilty himself of stealing and had
10 keep quiet about Bodley to save
his own skin.
This miserable frame-up of Vic
tor is part of a widespread drive to
fire all the older men and take on
new men at lower wages. A new
chef makes S125 if running on a
regular run and SIS to 500 if run
ming extra
All of the older men are con-
stantly forced to double out again
after run, in this way keeping
them from resting at home and
wearing them down so that they
are always tired and liable to make
some small mistake. Then they are
fired and rehired again at much
lower wages.
This wholesale slaShing of wages
IS particularly directed against the
dining car workers since the
Brotherhood with which the COM

Touching on line and color as af-
fecting our appearance, we have
pointed out that lines can be

Ietarian woman. whose existence is
justified by good honest work, does
not feel constrained to alter the

to facial surgery, the expedient of

Various emotional or mental

After hard days work, or after
emotional "Stur1n ind Drang" of

by lying down a few minutes if pos

Elaborate rituals of the sort af-
fected by the rich, using a variety

the working class woman more time,
energy, and labor than would be
compensated for by any possible
benefit: for the rich such treat
ments are at least a relaxation

In addition to the above, there is
one more expedient which may help
to preserve (not restore) youthful

Orphan Asylums
Drive Boys Out
Into C. c. C.. Camps
By a Worker Correspondent

OZONE PARK. L. IL want to
write on a subject that I think has
not yet been mentioned, namely,
the effect Of the depression on
orphan asylumns.
Since the depression, many fam
lies have been unable to support
their children and a large number
were sent to orphan asylums. Funds
have steadily dropped and these in
stitutions have been STEADILY going
about reducing the number Of in
mates.
When this correspondent was
forced to leave the Brooklyn Or
phan Asylum at Ralph and Dean
SITS, he was lucky enough to have
some relatives to live with. How
ever, the vast majority of inmates
either had no relatives or their
relatives were unable to support
them. The Orphan Asylum then
urged the boys to enlist in the G. C..
c. camps, practically.
So anxious was the Home to
send the boys to the c. C. G. camps,
that they faxed the names and ages
of the boys, most of whom were not
yet 10.

RENT AND FOOD PRICES RISE
By a Worker CorrespnOdent

here every day for the poor work
ing man. Rent goes higher every
month. Rent is IS to $35 for living
rooms; business stalls $50 to 500
per month, and the cost of living is
getting higher every week. Sugar is
$50 to Sc per 100 lbs; flour is $40
to 81 per 100 lbs; lard is SEC to &c
per h.; meats are SC to 22c per h.;
bakers bread &c to &c per loaf; po-

60c to SIPS per 100 lbs. but men
work 4 and hours per day at 55c

per cent are Democrats.
