BY WALL STREET SPECTATOR
NEW YORK, March 16 O.N.SJ. t..
The bulls are on the anxious
seat again after the markets
nose dive. Again it is more
disappointment than bearishness,
and the hope is still strong that
stocks will come out right side
up. The news was the reason
yesterday, what with the
TreaSury's slap at the Silverites
and the strike threat voiced by
the American Federation of
Labor head in washington. Right
now the labor situation is the
big uncertainty in the speculative
picture. .
Looks as though the boys were
having a little party in the pro-
ducers and refiners issues.
The earnings improvement
last year may have been the
cause, but the facts are that the
company is in receivership and
that the properties are to be
auctioned off at the order of
the Wyoming courts. Producers
owes Consolidated Oil about
$14,O00,000 on notes. This means
that the properties will have to
bring more than this for the
preferred to get anything. AS
for the common, the sale will
have to net more than ST., 900, 900
to equal the current market
price.
Rails and utilities continue to
act better than the industrials.
Corn is slowly approaching an
export basis due to the rise in
the Buenos Aires price and the
poor condition Of the Argentine
crop. Wheat still has many
friends who are betting their
money on higher prices.
Reports downtown are that the
proposed baking code will help
the industry and end price
cutting.
Perhaps this explains why Ma
tional Biscuit was strong yester.
day, payment Of the regular
dividend, giving yield of nearly
z per cent, did its bit also. That
rise in Schenley was tied up with
reports that net for the first
quarter may be as high as 81
a share or better discussion also
is being revived about early diVi-
dend action.

New YORK ClCy.
Dear Editor:
I hope my letter is not too late.
1 believe it would have been OF more
Importance if I could have written
YOU before the schools closed.
1 have Just graduated from Pub
lie School so, which is considered
one of the model Junior High
Schools in the city, but if this school
is a model I can just about imagine
how bad the other schools in this
city must be.
Each term every girl is compelled
to Join the General Organization OF
the school. the fee for memberships
is 10 cents. Although they say it IS
not compulsory to join, any pupil
who refused to do so would be
scolded and ridiculed. This organi-
cation gives you a moving picture
and some candy when Christmas
comes around.
This may seem bad but l think
the following things are still worse
Every girl in the graduating class
must buy a frame for her diploma
which costs 40 cents. She must pay
10 cents for a graduation program
and before she leaves, she must
give a Is cent gift to the school.
This money goes for the free
lunches given in the school. I have
always thought it was the city's
duty to provide for the free lunches,
but now I see that it is the worker,
as usual, who pays.

GARY, Ind.-The workers have
seen how the A. A. and A. F. of L.
leadership sold out the steel strike,
and now they see how their condi-
ton is made worse by layoffs fol-
lowing the sellout. In the Gary
plant, where production was at SO
and 40 per cent capacity, it has
dropped to % per cent in the last
two weeks.
The transportation department is
one of the most speeded in all steel
mills, and with the lowest paying
jobs. The company officials stated
that we now have 1929 wages, but
I can't see where it is. Take, for
instance, the dinky engineers who
run from go to IA tons Of working
pressure. They do their own firing,
and they are all on a standard
gauge of truck. Nothing was done
to better their conditions. They
were paid S4.70 and now they are
paid $4.56 so where is the 1929
scale?
And what pay is given in the
billet mill and the shipping yard
and the lung mill. The bosses re
fuse to provide adequate protec-
ton and fresh water for the men.
The bosses claim it is too expen-

Splitting Tactics

ing women to work in the depart
ment. This was obviously an at
tempt by the company union to split
the ranks of the workers, inaSmuch
as the workers themselves had been
conducting m any departmental
strikes for higher wages and better
conditions during the last three
weeks, all of which were successful.
AS a result of the splitting tactics
of the company union, seven girls
were fired.
The men were angry with the
girls because, when the men went
out on strike -four times in the last
three weeks, the girls never would
strike with them. Instead of point
ing out to the men that the girls
should be convinced of the necessity
of solidarity of all workers, the
company union demanded the dis
charge of the girls. All strikes, with
the exception of this against the
right of the girls to work in the
department, were rank and file &C
tons taken against the will of the
union officials.
In this department the riveters
and buck-ups now receive from $3.50
to 81 per day of eight hours. For
merly they made 81 to So. The
heaters, formerly S., now $500 The
average of all departments is about
$500.
The Standard Steel Car Co. has
not worked since 1881. About two
months ago it opened up again,
building freight cars for the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Railroad under R.
F. c. funds. Nevertheless, thu mood
of the workers is militant, the COM
pany union is cordially hated and
the workers are in a strike mood.
Standard Steel is a subsidiary of
Pullman Corp, and is Mellon
owned.

THE RED DYNAMO. Issued by the

Nucleus, Erie, Pa. Vol. /, No. l,
May 1884.
BY SIDNEY BLOOMFIELD

DED DYNAMO is one of the many
IA new shop papers that appeared
for the month of May for the first
time. and like all beginners while
making serious efforts it needs much
guidance to help improve it. While
many suggestions for improvement
has been printed in connection with
reviews of other shop papers, a few
specific points regarding RED
DYNAMO are important.
The absence Of cartoons and the
insufficient space and separation
lines between the articles makes
the paper zoo solid and monotonous.
1t should not be difficult to trace
some good cartoons onto the stencil
from any of our publications. The
instruments used in making the
masthead can be used for this pur-
pose. Deeper indention of para
graphs would also help break up
the solid reading matter which we
find in RED DYNAMO.
We must avoid using mere
rhetoric as in the brief article on
the front page which talks of the
ruthless brutality of wealth" etc
1t would be clearer to the workers
if we would explain the way ii
which the workers are exploited anc
oppressed by the possessors o.
wealth, to direct our fire against tht
capitalist class rather than agains
such an abstract thing as the
brutality of wealth" This SAINT

Bosses Speak Soft
And Strike Hard
At Negro People

BY a Steel Worker CORRESPONDENT
BIRMINGHAM. Ala-Mr. w. o.
Downe was sent out to speak to the
Negro people and mislead them. He
comes to their churches, and in this
way has the chance to mislead the
Negro people as a whole.
But Mr.. W. o. Downe refused to
come Sunday to speak to the Ne
grOeS, because he felt that some Of
the Negroes know of his deeds. He
takes money from the welfare to
pay the major boys to incite the
red scare" to terrorize the work
erS in all parts of the city. These
major boys range around from the
Tennessee Coal and Iron Co. terri
tory to Mr.. w. o. Downe's office in
the city, and through the working
class neighborhood.
Guess what the Tel. agent said
at the Thomas Cheap Church Sun
day. There are many whites who
are members of the Communist
Party, but I hope that none Of you
Negroes are in that movement. We
are good to you ALL
In Fairfield at the same time, the
TCI. agent got one Of the police
to beat us up.
If we look here in the Tel. dis
trict We will see that the white and
Negro workers are slaves side by
side in the mills and mines. The
capitalist class of the Southern
States say that the Negroes are
protected by them. but the Commu-
mist Party stands for the freedom
of all, for national independence,
and against segregation and Jim
Crowism. This is the movement
for all workers to join.
When the ruling class come to
your church to make out that they
are your friends, this is trick to
fool the Negro and white workers,
In 1917 the white ruling class played
the same trick - came to all our
churches and sang with us, but
after the war was over they said
that the Negroes had no part in
America.
When I came back to America in
1920 I stopped in Birmingham, Ala.
Two well-dressed men came over
to me and said: Boy, you better
get that uniform off. If you don't
we'll drag them off you, and ride
you with this car with a rope around
your neck
And I think of this every time

the advent of the New Deal adj

but most of the workers join, either
through fear of losing their job, or
have the hazy idea that through the

position against any wage cuts and
lowering Of their living standards.
There is also a bitter hatred of the
A. F. of L. and though the Com

here long, and has not conducted
much work, the majority of the
workers know from past history the
character of the leadership of the

join the A. F. of L. with a feeling
of disgust for themselves for doing
it. Their meetings are poorly at
