COrrects Facts About
Baltimore Steel Plant
by a Worker Correspondent


BALTIMORE, Md would like
to say that the Young Communist
League comrade in his report on
steel in Baltimore was probably
misunderstood or else he got things
badly jumbled. There are about
10000 workers on the payroll at
Sparrow Point, but they are not
all working on armor plate. not hv
any stretch of Imagination. I would
say there are no more than 200 on
this type Of work at the most, and
work at that less than IS per cent
of the time.
I wish to state that our victories
over the company union were over
rated. Take the whole work down
there, I would be safe in saying that
the company union was 10 per cent
victorious.
1 think there is room on the
Shore for an Agricultural Workers
movement on one hand and on the
other a farmers movement. The
Shore is predominantly agricultural.
There are very few saw mills,
flour mills, furniture factories.
There are many canning factories
which operate in the late spring,
summer and early fall.
The Eastern Shoe was at one time
the leading canning section in the
country. The Campbell's Soup is
taking over some factories there,

| members applies particularly to the
Baltimore section. Despite efforts
to carry through good political dis
cussions in the units, results on the
whole have been poor.
The business part of unit meet
ings particularly in the street nu-
cleD is dragged to the point where
comrades have neither time nor
energy for discussion.
In the past we, in the Agitprop
Department, have blamed this
simply on the failure of the unit
buros to function properly and more
or less passed the buck to the Or
ganizational Department. While it
is true that the buros function
poorly, still our mistake lies in our
mechanical separation of organiza-
tional and educational problems.
For, satisfactory functioning of the
buros in turn depends upon raising
the political level of the comrades.
In February we came to the con-
clusion that small steps if properly
executed mean more than large
scale decisions unexecuted. We de-
termined to get our Party members
to read-concentrating on the Com
munist Party Organizer, and Labor
Unity, and following this up with
drive to establish discussions in
the units. Examination showed that
in 1888 the average monthly sales
were: Communist-33, Party Organ
izer-18, and Labor Unity exclusive
of steel and marine)-10. The sales
of the Communist had dropped in
December and January to an aver
age Of II.
We set modest quotas: February
Communist-40; Party Organizer
30; March Communist-50; Party
Organizer-40; Labor Unity-2O.
We sold the following: February
Communist-68; Party Organizer
40; and the March Communist-50;
Party Organizer-50, and Labor
Unity-30. This was done simply by
a few comrades calling attention to
the various important articles and
pushing sales in the units and at
meetings. We got good cooperation
from the comrades in marine and
steel.
The last meeting of the Agitprop
Department set quotas of rs each by
June. The comrades were convinced
we can come closer to 100.
The results of this campaign are
beginning to be reflected in the
units political life. We are now in
much better position to establish
really good discussions. Meanwhile
our general literature sale, which
averaged $40 per month for Sept
Dec. 1888, has increased to $3.50 for
January, $170 for February and $170
for March.

VeStG Miners
Demand Fight
against Pact
lBy Mine Worker CorrespOndentl

by Mine Worker Correspondent
DENBO, Pa.-The Vesta Six
coal miners are disguised with the
new agreement given to them by
the U.MW.A. officials and the coal
operators. They point out that they
did not benefit any by this latest
agreement which provides for a
seven hour day and IS day, but
instead have lost some of the con-
cessions that they have won thru
strikes.
The advance in wages from $3.50
to IS a day basic rate affects only
the day men, while the leaders are
not able to earn even SO a day.
This increase in wages represents
less than 9 per cent but the COM
pany has increased the house rent
and house coal 10 per cent. The
company store has boosted its
prices on food and other necessities.
CThese clauses are in the agree
ment).
The new agreement also provides
for all the safety devices that were
forced upon the workers by the
company bosses as before; such as
wearing safety helmets, goggles,
safety shoes, ETC., which the miners
had to put up a bitter fight in the
past to abolish.
The mine committee has no power
TO fight against any of the griev-
ances of the workers that arise in
the mine. If they do put up strug-
gle, they are subject to discharge
from their work. This agreement
still continues the strike fines and
anti-strike clause, as in the original
agreement.
The local sent a committee to
Mr. Blair, the President of the COM
pany, to protest against this agree
ment. Mr.. Blair agreed to meet with
the committees from the four locals
representing the four mines of the
Vesta Coal Co., and he told the
committee that he cannot change
the agreement, that the agreement
will have to stand as it is. After
the committee returned from the
conference, a special meeting of
the local was called to hear the
report.
Upon hearing the committees re-
port, vote was taken whether to
accept the agreement or not, and
over two-thirds of the workers vot-
ed to reject the agreement and
are in a mood to strike, but the
local officials refuse to take any
action.

we did receive the PIMA. relief. it

the milk you wanted to drink. Bob
was thinking the same thing.
When all the cans were full, Bob's
father took them out to the stand
just as the Milk Truck came.
Beat you to breakfast" shouted
Bob as he dashed off. Ed came up
a little behind but just as hungry.
Ed was surprised. He had al
ways heard about the tables Of
farmers being loaded down with
food. Here was just the same thing
he always had in the city-oatmeal.
And no milk to drink. Perhaps
they forgot to put it on the table,
he thought, and so he said, I'D
like some milk to drink, if I could"
Bob got a little red and his
father said. "I guess city folks never
realize that the farmers can't drink
their own milk-they have to sell
all of it,"
After breakfast while Bob was
splitting kindling wood, Ed asked
why they had to sell all their milk.
ut used to be hard for me to
understand I kept asking for more
milk and the folks told me that they
owed money for taxes and interest
and million other things-and if
they didn't sell every drop Of milk
to make payments-that the sheriff
would come and kick us OUT
Ed got sore. Gee, that's as bad
as the city people who are out of
work and haven't any money to
buy things. Something is rotten
somewhere"
Bob's father came up just then
and said, Eyes, and we're just be-
Ginning to find out where the rot
tenness is. The big Milk Trusts
have more than one scheme that
they use to get the farmers milk
for practically nothing. But the
farmers are getting together to fight

while ago over at Al Davis place.
We talked over everything. The
best thing we can do is all to stick
together. And when there are hun
dreds and thousands of farmers,

we want our debts cancelled so we

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
Syrup of CIover-"Cystex"

C. B., BrOokIyn.-The syrup of
clover is an old folk-remedy which
is supposed to be good for nursing
mothers and for those suffering from
"chest" diseases. 1t has no effect on
either the mother or the baby, ex-
cept as syrup. Plain honey is just
as good if not better. You can get
clover honey in any grocery store;
it is obtained from bees feeding on
the flowers of clover. AS to the
grain of iodide of lime to be added,
there would be no objection to this
if you are sure that you are not
suffering from a tendency to in
creased activity of your thyroid
gland. In such cases any addition
of iodine or iodide is liable to be-
come dangerous when taken over a
long period. 1t is for this reason
that the indiscriminate use of
iodized salt is condemned by ex-
perienced physicians.
AS for "Cystex" our advice is not
to buy it; or if you must buy it,
