Terrorism Sweetened
By Calling Workers
Fighting Irish''
BY an I.R.T. Worker Correspondent

NEW YORK-Here on the IR.T.
exploitation of labor is an art not
duplicated in many other concerns.
Not one stone is left unturned by
the company to gain its end.
For instance, the religious issue is
always held before the men, the
better to keep them in subsection.
This is always used in the COM
pany'S favor, not in the mems.
Various cases of mems appeals to
Mr.. Keegan, a high and active
Knights of Columbus man, have not
received any attention at all, only
sarcasm passed off as Irish wit. We
were also treated to the spectacle
of another great churchman, our
own "Papal count" Bowling, &C
lively chsmpioning a 10 per cent
wage cut for us, while grabbing
$1,000 monthly plus graft. Mr.. Muir
ray, the same as Bowling, publicly
states that no working man on the
I.R.T. IS worth more than $40 a
week.
Egotism is always used by appeal
ing to the mems vanity, by calling
them lighting Irish," while the ter
rorism of the company against us
with its fear of unemployment and
its attendant charity and bread
lines in a foreign land, has made us
more Uruthfully docile rabbits.
Messrs. Keegan, Murray, and
Doyle, and Connolly's voluntary"
pension fund is another attack on
us, impudently handed and aover-
tised as the greatest thing the COM
pany has done for us in years.
Ninety per cent of the men that
these jackal hirelings have signed
up have only been signed through
intimidation. The proof of this is
easily seen when you ask any of
these men that did sign, What do

CHICAGO, nl.-The concen: "a
ton Of ne Unity Movement on the
Chicago and North Western Rail
road is beginning to bear fruit. The
various leaflets, Daily Worker and
Unity News that have been distrib-
uted where I work-iu the Chicago
passenger terminal-have stirred
the fellows up to try to improve
their working conditions. They
have been putting pressure on the
officials and grievers to get the
enforcement Of working rules. Some
results have been obtained which
have led to increased membership
and interest in Lodge 236 of the
Brotherhood of Railway Clerks. And
the officials are being forced to
show results or get shown Up.
Men in The baggage and mail de-
partments got over $4,000 back pay
as the result of a strike ballot
settlement, and when the company,
with the aid of General Chairman
Goble, tried to nullify this gain by
asking for a change in shifts that
would have led to lay-offs, the
scheme was defeated and Goble
was shown up at a special meeting
with the rank and file in full con-

NEW YORX.-Ths Pennsylvania
Railroad has not only minimi7ed
wages, but also minimized time
which are almost synonymous. So
called swing walters and cooks (this
includes extra men whose time is
even more drsstically cut) are made
to report in the depot for trains
usually between 10 to 80 minutes
before leaving time. The regular
men report from one to about three
hours before leaving time, the al
lotted time being inadequate for the
chef and second cook to prepare a
meal.
A train having arrived at its des-
tination, if any men must make
another train, time is cut unless the
leaving time of the later train is
three hours or less from the leaving
time of the first train. After man
is off for an hour or two. the time
is so short that he is unct.,2 > ucc

Men are ordered to report in the
New York station at $50 and $50
in the morning, and are given no
compensation for it, and, as is often
the case, are still there at $50 and
$50 in the evening.
Another evil which numerous men
are subjected to is the oft-repeated
errors in figuring working time The
pay drafts are usually one or more
hours short and unless working time
is kept and checked (Which I am
sorry to say many of the men do
not keep, these errors are never
corrected.
In order to get work done, a man
is told to eat on the car he's making
casually he can't get an assignment
until II o'clock and consequently
he is on the car many hours before
his time starts.

The enraged capitalist press is

also using it in trying to split the

are not fooled. They are militant,
but those labor takers leading the
strike are doing everything to sell
the strike out.
Meetings should be organized all

Prevention of Lead Poisoning.

Besides the symptoms described

infections; the tendency to tuber-
culosis being the most prevalent.

besides the lack of hemoglobin,
shows a peculiar "stippling' of red
corpuscles which is another dag
nostic sign, together with the pres
ence Of lead in the urine and feces.
English statistics have established
the fact that lead is race poison.
i. e., that its effects are passed on
to the children. Women effected by
plumbism show high incidence of
sterility, premature deliveries, still
births and high mortality of their
offspring during the first year of
life. Spontaneous abortions and
miscarriages are higher than in al

probably by favoring the fixation

people and women are more likely
to be affected by lead than middle

in making storage batteries, rubber

structural iron work, railway cars
and battleships; in glazes for tiles
and terra Gotta, enamel for porce-

majority of glazes contain over 10
per cent soluble lead; some even
as high as so per cent. American
potteries show an incidence of over
20 per cent cases Of lead poisoning
among their workers; while the
English factories have less than one

Others, from steel mills and ore

cause the functioning members

In District H. where the Party
is virtually illegal, the most rigid
discipline should be exacted from
leading comrades. When this is es-
tablished, the weaklings who are
at fault will make way for the real

this means in practice is a Dis

that carry all applications in each

the comrades must be disciplined II
they fail in their tasks. The con-

We should not have a situation
where the Black Belt receives more

simple method of getting Party
