that most Of them sell us out when
ever they get a chance, but never
knowing what to do about it.
But lately our meetings have
become very interesting because we
have new blood in the local and
some OF the boys know what they're

meeting we had one of our officials
give us long talk on the A. F.. of

working man, and after talking for
an hour we didn't know any more

up and in IS minutes very clearly
and logically explained how the Of
f1cials betray the workers, how they
make settlements against the good

tenance Workers Union
The condition of the building
service workers is such, that many
janitors 1 have come in contact
with. have to change empty milk
bottles to get a meal for their fam
lilies and while the landlords re-
ceive many thousands of dollars
monthly from the apartments they
own, these workers are slowly
starving to death and suffering
from diseases, caused by living in
easements.
Landlords of Harlem are Organized
The landlords of Harlem have
their organized prices for these
workers When the steam is shut
off for the summer, SO is taken
from their wages and helpers, where
there are any, are laid off.
Exploitation of janitors. elevator
operators, porters and firemen is
increasing every day. These workers
feel the exploitation but are slow
to organize because Of the fear OF
being put out in the streets. We
are constantly trying to convince
these workers of the Importance OF
organization, to come into the union,
even offering exemption from dues,
but they are not ready.
We explain to those workers that
unless we organize we cannot get
better conditions and that only by
organizing collectively into one big
union of building service workers,
controlled by the rank and file, can
we win our demands. Only then will
the bosses be compelled, by the or
ganized power of the workers, to
give us what is rightfully ours: in
creased wages, shorter hours, better
living quarters and security on our
jobs.

system. which Hillman has not
lifted q hand against. has resulted
in a veritable sweabshop system
throughout the clothing Industry
Why does Mr. Hillman not raise
the question. If ne is a union lead
er, to strike for increased wages to
meet the rising cost Of living?
Union members should force
Hillman to answer these questions
every time ne sticks his head in a
union meeting.
Why not organize rank and file
committees in the shops to go up
and see Hillman and throw his lies
back in his face?
Amalgamabed members should
not let him get away with all his
fancy talk about the MIRA.
Build up a strong rank and file
opposition to the Hillman machine
and take the right to strike in your
own hands. That's the only way
for the clothing workers TO win un-
preCedented benefits.

EHR. HILLMAN might also explain
I'A some Of the unprecedented
benefits" that workers derive from
one of the latest codes concocted
by the National Recovery Admin
istration, Of which ne is q mem
Der.
In the proposed 'code of fair
competition for the electric light
and power industry" just off the
press, we are advised that "operat-
ing employees shall be paid not less
than $16 a week, except in the
South, where they shall not be
paid less than SIS a week" Oper-
.ating employees, according to the
code, shall be deemed ito be and
include all employees other than Of
flee and clerical employees"
Wonder how Mr.. HiIlman would
like to try to get along on such
wages?
Or, ii he were an Office worker
in the same industry ne would have
to pay his rent and buy mis- pork
chops with s15 a week in the North
and $14 in the South.

Dear Jane Jordan-About a
year ago fell in owe with a mar
ried man. He is always on my
mind. haven't had good nights
rest in a long time. If only he
would come and talk to me I
would feel so much better. But
he stays away weeks at time.
His excuse is that he can't get
away from his wife. If he really
loves me like he said he did, do
you think anything on earth
could keep him from being with
me?
I go to work, come home from
work, go to work again. Same
thing day after day. 1 don't feel
like going anywhere if he isn't
along, so I sit and wait every
night for him to come. I hope
he reads this and knows who
wrote it. MADLY IN LOVE.
Answer-The man meant to while
away a pleasant hour, and you took
him seriously. Now he is afraid
of your intensity and stays out Of
reach for fear you will cause him
trouble. No man values the woman
who sits and waits for him. He
pursueS when she fees. You car

want to. You are wrong to hang
on to an unproductive experience

Manners and Morals
BY JANE JORDAN

Now I wouldn't hurt my hus-
band for anything in the world,
but I get so much pleasure out OF
just talking to this other man. I
even find myself lying awake at
night thinking about him. He
has never told me that he cared
for me, but I feel that he does
from the look in his eyes.
To avoid him entirely is almost
impossible unless we should move
to another part of town. This
would be hard to explain to my
husband as financially it would
be a disadvantage to do so. What
do you think I ought to do?
PLAYING WITH FIRE.
Answer-If you're really in love
with your husband, the other mans
attraction for you will pass. In the
course of your marriage many other
loves will wax and wane, unknown
to any one but yourself. 1t means
nothing except that the human be-
ing is a polygamous animal under
