Relief Workers
Win Albany Fight
AGAINST Over time
BY a Worker Correspondent

10y d FtOIhCT correspondent
ALABNY, N. " We workers on
the C.W.A. project work three days
a week to support our families on the
small sum of $12 a week. But last
week, the city officials thought of
another scheme, to make the work
ers work overtime without any extra
pay. So 70 of us workers refused to
slave without extra pay, and we
went to City Hall to complain. The
C.WA. officials told us that we were
fired and they also told us workers
that there are plenty of workers to
take our place.
But we heard of a union that
fights for the rights of the workers.
We went to the Relief Workers
Union of Albany County, to their
meeting. We told the workers about
our getting fired from the C.WA.
workers, and the union workers told
us they would elect committee to
see Mr.. Herzog, and to demand from
him that these men be put back to
work.
When we arrived at the City Hall
we were told that Herzog was not
in. The Committee went in to see
Herzog's assistant. When this official
saw the workers ready to put UP a
fight for their rights, he didn't lose
any time, but told the workers to 90
back to work, and they were to re-
ceive time and half for overtime.
So, fellow workers, you can see
how the workers won their demands
by organizing the workers in a
strong union, and that's the way we
won one more victory for the C.W.A.
workers of Albany County, and now
all OF these workers joined the Re-
lief Workers Union.

BY subway Worker Correspondent
NEW YORK; read in the Daily
Worker the letters of workers in the
IR.T. and BMT. systems telling of
the miserable working conditions,
the speed-up, long hours and star
Walton wages.
We here in the city-owned indie
pendent system are looked upon as
lucky fellows. Surely the city must
reward us magnificantly with only
eight hours day, six days a week
in the coolest and cleanest subway
in the world.
The truth is, however, that we do
not fare much better than our fell
low workers in the other subway
systems. We employees know that
our Threats and noses are filled with
disease ridden and steel dust, that
our heads ache and our minds are
dulled dut to improper ventilation,
and that our vision is impaired from
the poor lighting system. Colds and
serious attacks of influenza are COM
mon to us. To augment our plight
we have no such thing as vaca-
ton or sick leave with pay.
We are paid wages ranging from
$18 per week (porters) to $50 week.
(conductors) Most of us are mar
ried. Compare these with the sal
aries of our supervisors-$2.700 per
year, up. They are nothing but po-
licemen and spies who see that we
do not go to the lavatory too often
and that we do not go outside for
a breath of air, and bit of sun
shine for five minutes.

Speed Up on
Job MendceS
IRT Workers
Death Of Painter Is
Probably Due To
Bosses Greed
By q subway Worker Correspondent

oF subway huIhci NUEIto pDIlutMA
NEW YORK.-Painter. Section
No. 3, Michael znirich, I.R.T., was
killed on June Is by a fall of 40
feet from a scaffold to the cobble-
stone street below, located just
south of 204th St., the Webster
Ave. line. He was formerly work
ing in the track department.
The details of the accident are
kept strictly a secret by the COM
pany. The men are in fear of their
jobs if they say word.
Due to this, we can only SurInise
the reason for this fatal accident.
Only three things could have hap
pened.
I'd He stepped off the scaffold
~ After the scaffold was put
up, and the scaffold hitch attached
to the hook, the scaffold which was
hanging in the center Of the walk,
as they call it, which is quite wide,
Mike swung the hook to catch the
flange of the girder, but instead of
catching the flange of the girder,
the hook caught the edge of the
flange, so that when he stood up
to put the guy line up the hook
dropped off and the scaffold swung
free and threw him to the street
below
This would not have happened
if the foreman or sub-foreman
would have seen that two shifts
were made of this work. That is,
the Scaffold put closer to the pan
eled Orders on one side, and then
lowering the scaffold into the street,
and then bringing it back up on
the other side. But they want to
save time at our expense.
90 After tying up the scaffold
securely, the scaffold was not hang
ing straight, so either the man on
top helped to push the wooden stick
which held the rope strap, which
held up the block and fall, or Mike
tried to do it himself, by standing
on the flange of the girder and
pushing the wooden stick with his
hand, and then losing his balance.
This is not probable, unless Mike
got dizzy.
How can we stop this speed-up
which invariably keeps the men on
edge and at all times in fear of
losing their jobs?
We can organize and fight against
this speed-up, stop layoffs, demand
better conditions, safer and more
sanitary conditions. Guarantee of
steady work regardless of weather
conditions; return of 10 per cent
cut. Above all, join, build and sup
port the Transport Workers Union,
which will fight for these demands.

Scent Stamp on
Free Thaelmann"
Postcards Needed
BY a Post Office Worker Cor
respondent

NEW York; am a govern
ment post office clerk, working in
one of the down town stations. In
the past few days many of the
cards addressed to Hitler, asking for
the release Of Thaelmann and
Torgler, have come through. The
post office workers are glad to see
these cards and many Of us have
raised our voices in protest against
the barbaric treatment accorded to
the German workers at the hands
Of the murderous fascists.
However, our joy at seeing these
cards is mitigsted' no little by the
knowledge that many of them will
never reach Germany. And this is
so because many workers are put
ting one cent stamps on the cards,
disregarding the instructions in the
corner which specifically states,
Place Sc stamp here"
Please be sure to remind all
workers of this fact through all
channels at your disposal, including
the Daily Worker 1t must be stated
in no uncertain terms that unless
the cards have a three cent stamp
on them, these little bullets" di-
rected at German fascism will never
reach their goal.
Furthermore, the Post office De-
partment, as part of the U. S. Gov
eminent, will not shed many tears
because these cards never reach
Germany. However, We Post Office
workers want these cards to get
there.
For the freedom of Thaelmann
and all fighters against war and
fascism!

Workers on City-Owned
Subway Are Allowed No
Vacation or Sick Leave
Engineers That Built Subt0ay NO,O Employed As
$22 Week Station AGENTS

Practically all the station agents
are former city engineers who have
built this subway. They are like
other city employees, the victims of
the LaGuardia Wall st. and O'Brien
Wall st. administrations. There was
money to pay the blood-sucking
bankers but nothing for constructive
works to use this army of engineers.
How different from the Soviet Union
where engineers remain in their
own field of endeavor.
The officials tell these engineers
that they are lucky for there are
many more unemployed engineers
who would be only too glad to re-
ceive their $40 a week jobs; thus
they hold a whip over them.
The controlled Civil Service
Forum has betrayed us again and
again. They have promised not to
ask for increase in salaries. They
have prohibited us workers from or
ganizing by declaring all unions
illegal.
If we rank and file subway work
ers organize in one big union con-
sisting of all crafts in all the sys-
tens. united solidly, then only will
our demands for living wage and
better working conditions be won.
There Is such a union which has
members from our system as well as
from that of the IR.T. and BM.T.
systems. 1t is the independently
Transport workers Union, 80 East
II Street, New York City, which is
gaining strength every day. 1t rep
resents us, the rank and file subway
workers,

The Library of the Organizer of Farm Women

Again resuming the description of
a selection of literature on which
to base study of the situation of
women, past and present, for the
purpose of becoming an organizer
of women, especially farm women,
we advised Comrade B. B. B. to
begin with Women and Socialism"
(BebeD and Women Who Work"
(Hutchins)
These books need not be read
Immediately from cover to cover.
Portions should be read now; the
rest may be kept for later reading
or reference.
Bebel's book seems to have been
written about 1908, and from a
European viewpoint. Thus it offers
little detailed material regarding
present day conditions in America
For the historical material and the
numerous tables of statistics, how
ever, it's invaluable. 1t shows, for
example, how women became en-
shaved with the rise of private prop
erty and the State. In very early
times they were free, strong, equal
with men; since land, trees, bushes,
therefore a living" we're free to
all; the woman was not econoni-
cally dependent on man. The latter
perhaps because bearing no kids
left time hanging heavy on his
hands-took the initiative in deveI-
oping implements, flocks, herds,
crops, domicileS, etc, in short, in
creating the basis for division of
land and development of private
property and its protector, the
State.
Lineage had previously been traced
from the mother, since maternity is
obvious while paternity is not. We
quote Bebel: Man, being an owner
of private property, had an interest
dn having legitimate children to
whom he could will his property,
and he. therefore. forced upon
woman the prohibition of inter
course with other men,"
So Bebel traces the relationship
between systems Of morality, family
structure, etc, to changing methods
and conditions Of Obtaining a living
In his book. read carefully the first
part. Woman in the Past Then
of the second part, containing sta
tistics regarding suicide, marriages
and divorces, frequency of illegiti-
mate kids, etc, etc, the part headed
woman at the Present Day." read
such parts as you feel Immediately
needful; ditto the third part, state
and Society" which contains a
chapter, THE Revolution in Agri-
culture"
Then, as soon as you can find the
time, read the final part, state and
Society" especially Chapter 81, con-
tanning THE Communistic Kitchen"
and Transformation of Domestic
Life" Bebel's book has shortcom-
ings-you will doubtless notice a
few bad remarks, and to me at least
it appears that he gets unneces-
sarily wrought up about free love"
But use the book for the valuable
material it does offer.
Engels Origin of the Family" is
another historical work, a splendid
one that might be read also, or used
instead Of Bebel.
Grace Hutchins' Women Who
Work is priceless handbook, CIV

Patsy Ann, No,c s'Official
 Creeter'' of Juneau, Wit
 Not Forget Former Friends

my old friends who have stuck with me through thick and thin, and who have contributed greatly to my rise in the world
 In this statement she is believed to have reference to Guy (Frenchy) Gaudet, who tucked her carefully into a comfortable bed in the Ju- neau Motor Company shop each night last winter when the Taku wind howled bitter cold, and to Frank Karabelnikoff, ong ho re foreman, who sees to it that she has plenty to eat when the boats are not coming into port so regu- larly as in the summer.
 Abandons Luxury
 Patsy Ann, as pup. long age embraced the spirit of the times as evidenced by her someWha' more human sisters in abandoning a life of cradled luxury for the more invigorating activities of pub lie life.
 Born to the purple, it is impos- sible to get her to speak of thf father who won first honors in the Portland Dog Show as the best ex- ample of the English Pit Terrier on exhibit, or of the grandfather who was National Champion II the same class. She would fal rather have her freedom on tht docks, than all the stage honors II the world.
 Many Offer Money The collar, best that could bt procured in Juneau, was donated by citizens of the city, who wished to ensure the permanency of he presence on the docks when thu boats come in, and the license wa awarded by the City of Juneau after a great deal of apprehension spread over the Gastineau Channe as to the possibility of her possible removal from public life. A recent article in The Empire
The Daily Alaska empire., 1934-07-13

Patsy Ann received her acolade of public esteem in the form oi a brand-new collar and an ofIic-ai brass tag last evening on the Pacl- fife Dock in the modest and unas- suming fashion befitting lady who knows how to carry herself in spite of having reached unpre- cedented heights in public life.
 Refusing pleasantly to seak a few words to the large audience oi several hundred persons which had flocked to the dock for the express purpose of witnessing her recep- ton of the aforesaid marks of es- teem, she leaped gracefully from the high box on which she had been placed while the collar was slipped around her neck and locked, and hurried to the railing of the dock to take up her wonted position at the side of the Prince George.
 Contact Softens
 
 Her neat and polished appear ance bore witness to the attention given to the task of her prepara- ton for the event by Kenneth Cor lis, local dog mentor, who was SC affected by his day of association with her that he went to tht pound and turned loose two i'm prisoned canine ere the day hac Waned.
 A surprise feature of the even ing. was the neatly engraved platt on the collar, bearing the inscrip- ton. aOfficial Greeter, Patsy Ann. The work was done by DOC simpson of the Nugget Shop.
 Tn an interview. special to Ths Empire, Patsy Ann stated thai s1,e did not intend to let the gay circle of social entertaining wnicf she has been through the pas' couple of days go to her head.
 Tn spite of it ail.r she re- marked. T win always remember
