Accidents
Numerous
AtOhs Co.
W orkers Blamed for
Injuries Due to
Speed-up
Bv q Wnrker Corresnondent

YONKERS, N. Y.-The Quick
Elevator Works, the so-called Otis
Elevator Company, has joined the
State Accident Prevention Contest
and is very anxious to win that
contest. All employees are requested
to do their utmost to help in win
ming the contest for the company.
But we the employees of the Quick
Elevator Works, can't see the COM
pany making any real effort to win
that contest. In one department we
workers used to have two cranemen
and they both had more than they
could do to be at both ends of the
department to help out workers at
the machines. Now the company is
so anxious to reduce accidents that
we have to do with only one crane
man, but they haven't given us any
mora time to da q piece of work
with only one craneman to assist
the workers. On, yes, the company
wants to win the contest. A worker
is given 95 minutes to do a GER
tain piece of work and for that piece
he has to use the crane three differ
ent times. Now the craneman is held
up at the other end Of the depart
ment for 10 minutes and the man
that waited for the craneman is
bound to keep up his S.5 unit time,
so what happens, when he gets the
craneman to his end is beyond i'm
agination. The speed he must use
to catch up the lost time. And dur
ing that period of speeding to catch
up, the man gets hurt. The next
day those that are so anxious to
win the Accident Prevention Con-
test come around to the injured
employe and have the CUTS to ask
the following questions: why did
YOU get hurt?" Must be that the in
iured worker likes to feel pain.
So. workers, don't let the bosses
fool you into believing that they're
interested in your health, because
they are not. Wake up, don't dream
anv more about bettering your liv-
ing conditions by waiting to win
sweepstakes. Join the Steel and
Metal Workers Industrial Union to
better your working conditions.
Show the bosses that we have lived
on hope long enough. Write to the
union Office. Polish Community

Police Break Up
Showing of Strike

GARY, Ind.-Comrades. on Oct
IL we Bulgarian and Macedonian
steel workers of Gary arranged to
have cultural movie brought to
Gary. It's a picture of the recent
strikes on the West Coast and the
dumping of 25,Oc0 cars of oranges
in order to keep prices up. This is
what happened: The police depart
ment, with the help of the steel
barons, kept us from seeing this pic
ture. The reason for our not being
able to stop this was our lack of
preparation and the fact that there
is group of Bulgarian and Mace
donian fascists here. Naturally the
fascists always strike at the weak
est spot. When the police came

u
NEW HAVEN, Coma few
incidents that occurred when
MuSsolini's fascist students ar
rived here on Oct. s. At about
ll:15 o'clock, seven large Grey
hound buses arrived. The fas-
cist students lined up on the
sidewalk in military formation
and Immediately made the
neighborhood ring with fascist
cries and saluteS. Just then an
Italian worker shouted some
thing. Two fasciSts started 10
pummel him, but the worker up
percut the two fascists several
times in the face. Immediately
a whole company of fascist stu
dents yelled in unison: Com
munists" They all started to
pitch into the man
They were later marched
through the college CYale). On
their way out about eight young
men and two girls shouted at
them in derision. The fascists
tore into them, too, in pugna-
cious manner. One professor
started to interfere in behalf of
the demonstrators. One Of Mus
solini's gang broke his glasses
with a blow.
What gets me is how the col
lege can get the money to lay
out on these parasites, and then
claim they haven't any money to
pay their taxes.

Strike VIII Be
Met With Guns.
SayJ&L Thugs
By a Steel Worker Correspondeu

A1RIDGE, Pa.-The Jones and
Laughlin Steel Corp. thugs and the
Aliquippa police controlled by j. and
L. held meeting in Aliquippa, Pa,
before crowd of workers and told
them not to join the union because
they are going to strike, and if they
attempt to keep the Scabs from go
ing to work, they will be shot down
like rabbits. This is the warning
the workers OF j. and L. got. Now
I would propose, If we are ever GO
ing to strike, plead with all work
ers to prepare and to show these
rats OF j. and L. that we mean to
win. Aliquippa also has mayor,
but j. and L. controls him and all
the town. Any person in that town
who does anything the boss doesn't
like is punished very heavily if he
works for J. and L., and If he has
no money to pay the forced fine.
then J, and L. takes it off his pay.
The minimum of $11.48 Is taken off,
and that is why most of the people
call it the 11-48 town.
There is only one thing left to
do, and that is for all the workers
to get together, educate themselves,
show up the bosses; explain to the
workers their place in the struggle.
1t the workers understand this, then
we can overthrow the capitalist gov
ernment and in its place set up a
Soviet America
The Jones and Laughhn Steel
Corp. blame that bunch of reds
that came to ruin the name of
Aliquippa." But Aliquippa never
had any name as a fair town. 1t
is j. and LIS dirty town.
One woman in Aliquippa went to
the j. and L. Office and demanded
enough wages for her husband to
live on, or that he be dismissed
altogether, so she got relief, because
her husbands wages are less than
she would get from relief. The
superintendent called her a red. but
she said, Il am not red. but I'm
not going to starve because vour
people are so greedy, that when a
man works hard for the company
he is not even entitled to live"

Employment Office Cuts In
On Sale of Cars to Workers

tinuing alongside, and is even now
going on.
Many Ford workers had been out
of a job 50 long that they we're des-
perate, and it was possible If you
knew the right grocery or general
store around Dearborn, to buy a
job. You put down $40 or $40, $50,
and sometimes 500 and a slip was
given to be taken to the employ
ment once. According to the
amount of money that had been
handed over by the worker, his
particular job was fixed. The
smaller the amount, the worse the
job. There were too many in this
racket, however, and when 1t was
all divided up, it was not at all suf-
flcient for the racketeers. 1t was
too raw. So the latest method is
for the Ford worker to call upon a
Ford dealer, preferably in Dearborn,
and look around. It's not long be-
fore the salesman on the hunt for
prospects jumps upon him.
The worker is asked If he wants
to buy car. 1t comes out that he
wants car, but he is out of
job. The worker is then asked what
he does, and the down payment is
fixed accordingly It can be paid
in installments from his future
wages, but the worker is led to
understand that this down pay
ment should stand for a while, and
then later on is told definitely If
he wants to keep his job, he had
better forget that he has even paid
any down payment at all. The Ford
employment Office is part of the
nefarious racket, and In many cases
workers are fired every two or three
months and are rehired again. after
paying another down payment for
a Ford car These statements are
facts which implIcate the whole
force of Ford Executive Adninistra-
tors. They are the lousiest crew
that any decent worker has ever
come into contact with.
That they can get away with It
proves that the Ford system has
within it rottenness that per-
meates those who control it, and it
would not matter who were the
Ford Executive Administrators, or
who was the manager Of the Ford
employment Office, or who COM
posed the Ford service department.
They would all go rotten and cor
rupt sooner or later.
The Ford workers themselves are
the only power that could relieve
and curb this monstrous tribe of
atrocities, by group organization in
each department, to enable the
workers to understand just what
their difficulties are, and how they
can be overcome.

would you adviser"
Ironized Yeast
The cause of steady loss Of
weight is always difficult one for
doctors to estimate, since they must
always remember that this may be
the first symptom Of disease
which they must diagnose. Further,
loss Of weight can be due to worry,
emotional upsets, faulty diet, or just
not having enough to eat plain
starvation). For these reasons, we
would not undertake TO decide
what the cause is in your wife's
case, on the basis of letter alone.
Since your wife is in the care Of
her family doctor, we would leave
the responsibility to him.
Now, about the 'ironized yeast"
In this connection, it is the yeast
that matters, and any good brand
will do as much as the one you
name. Yeast is rich in vitamin B,
and is used in cases where the lack
Of this substance gives definite
symptoms. Further, it is sometimes
included in general diets for cases
Of poor appetite, digestive upsets,
and slight loss of weight The same
substances are found in whols

fresh spinach, beans and peas.
These, therefore, should be made
part of the diet which can further
be made as nourisl1ing in other
foods as you can afford.
