Railroad Consolidation Going Ahead, With
Firing of Workers, Says Correspondent

in the way of pensions or unemploy-

The railroads involved are the
New York Central, Pennsylvania, Le-
high Valley, Lackawanna, Baltimore,
and Ohio, Erie Nickel Plate and Can
adam roads.
All Of the roads have previously
thrown many of their employees off
the payrollS by closing engine houses,
car shops, yard tracks, etc. The
Brotherhood and A. F. Of L. bureau
crazy will not offer any resistance
to the mass layoffs, unless forced to
do so by an aroused membership
The writer as a Communist and a
member OF the National Committee
Of the Railroad Brotherhoods' Unity
Movement wishes to call the atten-
ton of the Buffalo District of the
Communist Party to the favorable
opportunity for involving the rail-
road workers in the struggle for
Unemployment Insurance, for build
ing the Party and the Unity move
ment.
The consultations are a part of
RooSevelt's War Program, designed
to facilitate government control and
speedy movement of war material
and troops. The Buffalo terminal
is of strategic Importance not only
because of its size but because here
trains may be routed through either
the U. S. or Canada in case of strikes
or other reason for avoiding Cleve-
land or Toledo terminals.

C.W.A. Jobs Go Only to
Favorites in Bluefield
lBr a Worker Correspondentl

tBy a Worker Correspondent
BLUEFIELD, W. Va.-There has
been some reduction of c. w. A.
forces in Blueield. The bosses are
picking out their friends and the
friends Of politicians to be retained
in the service, regardless Of whether
the person has a family or not. There
is entirely too much favoritism in
giving out employment. 1t is not
a question Of what the applicant
knows, but whom he knows.
One of the straw bosses is registered
as married. His wife died six years
ago. This man has an automobile
and furnishes free transportation to
some of his superiors, and brsgs that
he works five days a week regardless
Of anything or any body.
Several colored workers are per-
sistently refused work. The only
question is about their residence.
The C. W. A. bosses appear to think
that if one has not lived in Blue
field and voted the right ticket one
will not get hungry or be affected
by the cold weather.

ERIE, Pa.-Railroad consultations
are to continue despite Coordinator
Eastman's statements in his report
to Congress on Government owner
ship, against forced consultations,
etc. No additional legislation is
needed to carry out the extensive
program Of consultations already
made and those now being negotiated.
The December issue of Railroad
Unity News reviewed under-cover
mergers actually putting the Prime
plan of consultations into effect. A
graph showing the effects on unem-
ployment in Chicago, "a reduction
from 1000 to 3,1OO employees was
prominently displayed on the first
page.
The article also gave a table of
the contemplated savings to the
roads in the various terminals. I
will confine this article to one ter
minal, Buffalo, N. Y, where the saw
ings are estimated at $2,5OO,OOO.
The railroad companies entering
Buffalo, N. Y, have, according to
the Buffalo Courier Express OF Jan.
Is and 10, set up various committees
of railroad officers to plan and effect
the consolidation of terminal facil-
tiles. This plan involves cutting the
passenger terminals from four to two,
and freight terminals to three, which

Urges Messengers
to Demand Promised
Pay for Packages

BY a Messenger Correspondent
NEW Notwithstanding to the
N. r. a, we messengers are sup
posed to receive 81 IA cents per
hour for delivering books or heavy
packages. The Western Union Co.
has smartly tried oevade the is
sue.
They classify the books as tele-
grams, and pay us on commission
basis. In this sneaking manner,
they evade paying us the 31H cents
per hour. For example:
In one office they pay messen-
ger, 2 lilo cents for a telegram,
and 1 ITO cents for an additional
They therefore load a messenger
up with 6 books, let us say. For
the first book, he receives 2 1-2
cents and for the rest of the de-
liveries he receives cents. And 50
on throughout all the various office
schedules.
The messengers Of the various
offices, where these practises go on
must fatty refuse to carry those
books unless they are paid on an
hourly basis. They must refuse In
a body, and not singly. BY entire
Office action, by every messenger
strong in his demands, by fiat re-
fusal-will this crooked practice be
abolished.

Taxi Drivers
Demand 100 pc.
Of Five Cent Tax
By a Taxi Worker Correspondent

NEW YORR.-Through the per-
sistent fight against the cent taxi
tax carried on by the Taxi Workers
Union, the City Administration has
promised to drop the tax. The fleet
operators, in spite of the fact that
this tax money now is in their pos
session, have offered to pay the
drivers 40 per cent of this money
when the tax is definitely repealed.
Meanwhile, the bosses are offering q
part of the offered 40 per cent to
those drivers who will accept a set
Element Immediately. This offer is
made in order to prevent the drivers
from forcing the bosses to hand
over 100 per cent of the tax money
to the drivers to which they are
rightly entitled.
That the drivers have always been
opposed to the tax, considering it a
wage-cut and are ready to fight
for their right to ALL of the tax
money can be seen by the fact that
the largest turnout of drivers was
witnessed at mass meeting of
700 to 800 men called by the Taxi
Workers Union, Immediately after
Oct. LIST in protest against the tax.
We drivers must not be taken in
by the tricks of our bosses. We are
entitled to all of the tax money,
and we can get 1t.
We can get 100 per cent Of the
tax money by organizing commit
tees Of action in every garage to
demand:
- No more turning of tax money.
~ 100 per cent Of tax money
with no discrimination on basis of
length or variableness Of employ
ment.
81 Committees of drivers to sit
in at the accounting for distribution.
A. AS long as the 20 cent drop
is maintained, the driver to get the
full extra nickel.

FOR THE sCOTTsBoRo BOYS

FOX The SCOTTSBORO BOYS
Brooklyn, N. Y
Comrade Editor:
I called at q church meeting bear
ing the name of Holy Trinity" and
they seem to be very interested in the
welfare Of the Negro race and the
Scottsboro boys. The collection of
$10.85 and resolution was adopted,
which was to be sent to Judge Cal
lahan and Governor Miller.
7 think if they keep up this spirit,
they will be a lot of help. Also the
pastor is getting up a march to
Washington for the Scottsboro boys.
I am visiting more churches and
asking them to take part in the fight
to save the lives of the nine other
Negroes that were framed in Ala
bama. am going to make an ap-
peal at the Christian Unit Baptist
Church one night this week. I feel
that If we mobilize our forces, we
can break the lynch law In the South
and all over the world, and have the
nine innocent Scottsboro boys, who
have suffered so long and are still
suffering at the hands Of the bloody
lynchers.
We must also start a campaign to
free Tom Mooney and all revolution
airy workers.

Dining Car Negro
Workers, Victims
of Discrimination
By Railroad Worker Correspondent


NEW YORK-Some time ago
read an article in the Daily" telling
Of the miserable conditions that the
Negro cooks and walters are under
going on the Pennsy r. r. Being a
dining car worker myself would like
TO write of some things that we're not
mentioned.
In applying for annual passes the
cooks and walters are compelled to
bring along their wives as proof that
they have such. The white workers
are not required to do so. It seems
to me and many others that this Sys-
TEN is almost as bad as being finger
printed and placed in q 'rogues gal
lery."
Regardless Of how long you have
worked in the dining room service, if
quit or are fired, no matter for how
short period, when you re-apply
you have lost all seniority, all pass
rights and wage rights. You are
merely considered Just another 'extra
worker" In many cases working
conditions are made unbearable so as
to make you quit or cause you to be
fired after you have been in the
service for many years. OF course
you don't find any other job and you
come back and are hired as new"
stripped of all rights and wage in
crease. This is one Of the many
ways by which the P. r. r. main
tains cheap starvation scab wages.
A new ruling for extra men who go
to Washington is that they must lay
over an additional day at their own
expense, including lodging, Is cents
per night, the price for bed in the
P. r. r. quarters double decker beds,
some rooms, 80 double deckers)
thereby the company makes so cents
now from beds instead of only 25
cents. We are actually considered of
less Importance than piece OF
equipment on the cars.
There is brotherhood that now
is practically non-exiStent, because
Of the disgust that we dining car
workers have for it, because of its
working hand in hand with the COM
pany and serving as stool pigeon
and spy service. If thi soutfit, com
posed chiefly Of Uncle Toms" and
Handkerchief Heads" were interested
in lettering working conditions, 1t
would not see these countless grieY-
ances stare us in the face and say:
do nothing about them"
Each year the superintendent, Mil
Iron, deceased, Dec. 1889 elected a
so-called Grievance Committee, T."
composed of cook and a waiter, who
had proven themselves to be meek,
humble and accomplishing. This
COMMITTEE" was to settle all con-
troversies that arose between walters,
stewards, cooks, office force and the
company. Since this Committee"
was chosen by an official Of the
company, the disputes and "deci-
SionS" were all settled, in the presence
of the superintendent in favor of the
company.
The DAILY Worker" is fast becom-
/ ing a part of the meals Of many Of
us dining car workers, and we hear
tily appreciate the paper which
champions the cause Of labor, par
ticularly the forgotten and down
trodden Negro workers.

By Railroad Worker Correspondent
LONG ISLAND CITY, N. Ever
since the Pennsylvania Station was
built, the yard trainmen took all the
dead head equipment from Pennsyl-
vania Station to Sunnyside Yard,
and from Sunnyside Yard to Penn
sylvania Station. The Pennsylvania
Station was officially given as the
Passenger Trainmen's Terminal. In
order to put SOM 40 or more train
men out of work the Pennsylvania
R. r. ordered the passenger crews to
lake the trains through to Sunny
side and to start from Sunnyside
with their runs instead Of Pennsyl-
yania Station. Paying them at a
mileage basis, this saved money.
The officials are not satisfied with
this, but they still have a move up
their sleeves, and that is to use the
flagnan to take the trains over, al
lowing the balance Of the crew to get
off at Pennsylvania Station. Every
one knows this is another infraction
of the regulations as agreed between
the Brotherhood and tie company
management.
Both the passenger and yard
grainmel are disguised with these
attractions Of their agreements, but
up till now have been unable to get
the Brotherhood to give a decent
fight in their behalf. The passenger
men have the undesirable Job Of
taking these trains over to the Yard
where there are many delays which
make them work 80 and more hours
for misery &c. In addition to
this, they are out in the rain and
must start their runs on wet days In
wet clothing. The company expects
them to be neat, but saves q few
dollars by making them get wet. If
a man gets sick, that is his hard
luck, not theirs. Now it seems to me
that the company has won many
cases from the men on the grounds
that it was past practice. Do you
suppose the yard men doing this
work for % years is a past practice?
OF course, it is.
I propose that instead of 4 or 5
going TO the lodge meetings, every
man makes up his mind to attend
the meetings 50 that there will be
standing room only in ali the lodges
from New York to Washington, and
from New York to Buffalo. At the
rate things are going we might as
we'll give up the Brotherhood. But
don't forget that the rank and file
made the Brotherhood, and it has
done some fine work, but 1t had to
fight. Men went to the meetings
and they were alive, not dead.
II you ever expect to do anything,
you will all have to give a hand.
Wake up, and be real men with a
real purpose In mind to fight out all
the injustices we have showed over
on us from time to time by the COM
pany and by the Brotherhood lead
ership.

BY Subway Worker Correspondent
NEW YORK. Perhaps YOU and
other railroad workers want to know
how B.M.T. repairmen are exploited
and rushed. The bosses in our shop
at Ave. x in Brooklyn have a brand
new way to speed us up, They bring
a train into the shop 10 minutes be-
fore quitting time. Swell idea, huh?
The foreman begins to hurry us.
Come on, clean it up! It's not
quitting time yet"
The job takes normally one hour.
But the men don't want to stay after
the whistle, so they rush like bees
and finish the job as soon as pos
Stble. have spoken to some of the
men about this and other things.
They feel mad about it. They know
the company representatives (com-

Union was a militant union, that 1t

But to these two meetings came
