CHICAGO, Aug. 21.-With thou
sands Of skilled furniture makers
jobless throughout the country, the
federal government has ordered
100000 mattresses using labor
hired at wages far below the stand
ard won by the workers in the in
dustry.
Even the low minimum wage eS-
tablished by the N. R.. A. code for
mattress makers, is cut, and relief
clients are being forced to do the
work of skilled men at the rate of
thirty cents an hour This is about
the same as the rate established as
minimum for apprentices.
The alibi given by government Of
ficials for this sweat shop practice is
that the mattresses will go to the
unemployed. AS a matter of fact,
this excuse is being used to conceal
the fact that most of the mattresses
will be stored for use by the army
Two million pounds of cotton and
100000 yards of mattress ticking
have been allotted to Illinois alone.
Twenty mine shops have been estab-
lished in the state to work up the
material, six of them in Cook Coun-
ty. Relief authorities expect to
turn out $4,000 mattresses in August.
1t is significant that the largest
of the relief" factories has been
established in the heart of the Ne
gro district of Chicago where the
lowest wages prevail, Inside Oak
wood Relief Station, sos E. 50th
Place, more than 500 are employed
on the mattress job, besides about
$50 women who are making pillow
cases and layettes.
This relief work cuts deeply into
the earning of regular furniture
workers, particularly the skilled
ones. Their jobs are being stolen
from them, and forced on other
workers at wages far below usual
rates.
Besides creating widespread un-
employment among the furniture
workers, this government work viii
undoubtedly have a far-reaching
effect upon existing wage scales
The example of the government in
paying wages usual for the un-
skilled to those on skilled jobs can
hardly be lost upon the private
manufacturers
Joe Kiss, National Secretary OF
the Furniture Workers Industrial
Union, outlined the plan Of his
union against this relief work. Fol-
lowing are the main points:
Ito send a large delegation
from the union to visit Reynolds
and demand that unemployed mat
tress makers be given jobs on the
project through the union at union
wages
2-To expose the government at
tempt to cut wages and destroy
union conditions in the industry.
3-To attempt to organize work
ers now on the projects, demanding
for them union scale, hours, etc.
ITO hold mass meeting here
to show up the whole rotten deal,
and to show the workers that only
the militant union is fighting
against it.
5-The Chicago local, which is
most vitality concerned in this mat
ter since the heaviest production is
planned here, pledged to the rest OF
the N. F. w. I. u that it would be
in the forefront of this struggle.

Legion Pushes
Drive Against
NegroWorkers

ORLANDO, Fla, Aug. 21.-Fear OF
the growing unity of Negro and
white workers and of the general
strike weapon Of the working class
is revealed in statements by Legion
and F.ER.A. officials in the rabid
lynch Indictment campaign here
against white and Negro Commu-
nists and the Negro masses.
Major Paul Crank, American
Legion chaplain and executive officer
of the Federal F.E.RA. projects in
Orange County, speaking at a recent
meeting of the Legion, attributed
the militancy of West Coast strik-
ers and the development Of the
marine workers strike into a gen.
eral strike to the growth of the in
fluence of the Communist Party
among the workers. He expressed
fear of general strike of F.ER.A
relief workers here.
He stated that there are between
1000 and 5000 persons in the coun-
ty who are active Sympathizers and
supporters Of the Communist pro-
gram. He was particularly incenseo
at the success of the Communists
in breaking down race prejudice and
uniting Negro and white workers in
joint struggle against their ex-
ploiters.
Following his red-baiting speech
the Orlando post of the American
Legion adopted resolution calling
for the stamping out" of Commu-
nism in Orlando county, and pledg-
ing to uphold the fascist program
Of the Roosevelt New Deal' OF
forced labor, wage differentials ano
ruination of the poor farmers.
