take up any more. This can be
judged by watching for free droplets
of oil on top of the water, after
repeated shaking. when these
"eyes" appear then the water is
saturated and when mixed with
the soap will give 10 ounces of a
fine emulsion which can be used in
hand spray and costs only a few
pennies.
Every crevice and crack should
be sprayed with this very effective
emulsion, preferably in the morn
ing, so as to give a chance for TIE
kerosene to evaporate before bed
time. Kerosene has the same effect
on insect parasites as mass DEM
onstrations have on capitalist par
sites; it takes the life out Of them!

are told that we "have it in our
power to change the rotten condl-
lions by doing Gust as our COM
radeS in the Soviet Union have" ETC.
This is true, but if the workers would
have been told of a few important
advantages and achievements OF the
Soviet proleta- lat, such as no un-
employment, the many social in
surance and other forms of security,
cultural development and physical
and social well-being it would have
given the G. E. workers that desire
and inspiration to go forth and do
likewise"
The article on the pension racket
correctly brings in H. r. 1898 as the
positive form of struggle against the
scheme of the company in making
workers pay part of the insurance.
An article dealing with the news
of the Lynn, Mass. General Electric
workers who voted down the COM
pany union, gives some telling facts
and figures; but it would be more
effective to have drawn conclusions
for the workers and to have given
them line of propaganda showing
the evils of company unionism and
taking up specific grievances in the
Erie plant as the starting point Tor
opposition work together with
instructions on how to get up little
discussion groups that can develop
into department committees that
will be able to battle the company
union in an organized way. Such
instructions should also have been
part of the article following it and
which calls on the workers to "Buiic
an Industrial Union"
The Electrical branch of the Stee
and Metal Workers Industrial Unior
should have been brought into thi.
article too.

CHICAGO. I'LL am writing to
YOU that the faker organizer of
the Amalgamated Association Chis
name. maybe you know it, is Mr..
Curtis called for open mass
meetings of the Wilson g. Ben
nett workers, and after about ten
meetings he took in about 80
members from that shop. But
the company stool pigeons and his
tactics of strikebreaking machin-
cry had those workers fired from
the plant.
He told us that Section IA of
the N. R. A. gives us protection
in organizing, but we got fired
just the same. Then we had a
meeting at one of the workers
homes. There were about 81
workers. He told us that the
Labor Board is going to put US
back Immediately. We all Ge-
manded strike, but the strike
breaker, Mr.. Curtis, of the Anal
gamated Association, told us we can
not call strike, as we have to
cooperate with the government
and the Labor Board, and that the
government is behind us.
And also another faker, Dr.
Spinger, told us we must give the
company and the Labor Board a
chance to arbitrate, This was on
a Wednesday. So one of the men
made motion and it was sec
onded, to give the company a
chance till next Tuesday, the dead
line, and then Wednesday call a
strike, but Mr.. Curtis, the stool
pigeon and Strikebreaker for the
bosses, overruled our motion and
said that he would see them, and
that tomorrow, Thursday, we are
going to the Labor Board, and
everything will be hotsy-totsy.
asked him some questions-why
couldn't we strickland Ire said
that this was not a red organiza-
ton. We are 100 per cent with the
N. R. A. and President Roosevelt,
he said. The Labor Board fights
for us, he claimed, and the rest of
the Lodges Of the A. F. of L. and
a. A. are behind US.
asked him why it is that the
bakers and laundry workers are on
strike, and the A. F. of L. drivers
deliver bread and the laundry. Why
don't they come out on strike? He
made those fellows believe that
those drivers belong to an outlaw
organization and not the A. F. of L.
The S. N. w. L U. issued leaf
let telling us about this Mr.. Curtis,
telling us about his being a stool
pigeon for the bosses. All he cares
about, I am convinced, is the SO
initiation fee and S125 per month
dues.
While we were at Room Alb, Post
Office Building, Mr.. Curtis was sit
ting with us around the big table.
I brought up the subject Of those
leaflets from the S. M. w. I. U.

At New York Regional Conference
for Paris Anti-War Congress
That it will never again be so
easy-or that it will soon be alto
gether impossible for the capitalists
to send the masses to the slaughter
OF another WAL was indicated by
the general discussion at the New
York Regional Conference at Irving
Plaza where the four delegates from
New York were elected to go to the
Paris Congress.
Wcmen-and men too-from the
b-oGdest assortment of organiza-
ticnr, made addresses that were a
go-c. indication OF the widespread
9~a GroWing consciousness of the
real nature and object of imperial
J., o4-de wars, and the growing de-
termination of the masses to resist
any future attempt to initiate such
a VIZ
There were delegates from re-
ligiouS and other non-revolutionary
organizations, as well as from the
revolutionary trade unions and the
Communist Party. The wide sym
pathy for the anti-war work among
the masses, of the Committee
Against War and Fascism was shown
by representation at the regional
conference from such organizations
as Mays group of the Office Work
ers Union, the Women's Interna-
tional League for Peace and Free
dom, the Modern Thought Center,
the Queens League for the Pro-
lection of Children, the Women's
Spanish Committee Against War
and Fascisn, the Spanish Dress
na,lers' League Against War and
Fascism, a shop group of the jew
ish Hospital of Brooklyn, the Cen
tro Cultural Obrero, the Mexican
group of the Spanish Anti-War
Club, the Emergency Home Relief
Association, the Tampa Workers
Spanish Anti-War Congress, the
Tampa Workers Needle Trades, the
M w. 1. u, the Medical Center
the Nurses and Hospital Workers
League, the Opposition Local % of
the l. L. G. w U. and six shops
of same, the Workers Council of
the Hebrew Orphan Asylum, the
Congregation Jachael Askhmein, the
Sisterhood Derech Emunoh Con-
gregation, the Church Committee,
Methodist Social Science, the Novy
Alig, the Lithuanian Workers Lit
erary Association, the Social Work
ere Discussion Club, the United
Front Millinery Opposition, and the
Unemployed Teachers Association.
A delegation from the Marine
Workers Industrial Union suggested
that a delegate from that union be
sent to the Paris Congress. The
Conference decided that if the M.
w. 1. U. could finance the delegate
it would be an excellent plan.
AS the opening date of the Con-
gress has been postponed to August
4th, there is bit more breathing
space for the collection of funds for
financing the delegates. AS we said.
New York must finance its own
four delegates and help enc Of two
from localities where money is much
scarcer than hens teeth, Two hun
dred and fifty dollars is required
to send each delegate to Paris.

how did you fellows like the way I
made my plea for you.
OF course those poor workers,
most Of them young workers, don't
know we are misled by this faker.
They all said he was a wizard. All
he asked in his plea was that we
get our jobs back, and the COM
pany and the Labor Board wouldn't
have any trouble with us. He told
us that the Board is with us 100
per cent. After the verdict came
out he said We should elect a COM
mittee Of two. I said we need a
bigger committee. So he picked out
five men of his own choice.
We heard that the Board ordered
the Wilson & Bennett Co. to &C
cept our committee tomorrow (Fri-
day., but it didn't, and by Sunday
the company hadn't given us any
consideration as yet. But this
faker, Mr.. Curtis, tells us that the
company is going to pay US for loso
time.
l noticed in one of the Amalga-
mated journals about the Weirton
case. 1t is going to take the Labor
Board at least two months to hear
the evidence, but in the meantime
the workers who are out of a job
are starving to death, and waiting
for a decision, In my estimation
the whole oOd damn labor BOARD
is a legal blacklist outfit for the
bosses, and an association to find
out who are the union men in or
der to starve them and their fam
lilies.
Now, you fellows, workers from
the Wilson and Bennett plant, wake
up before it is too late. Let's go to
the Steel and Metal Workers In
dustrial Union at 1904 West Mad
ison. Let's hear those leaders talk
to us.

must often wait half hour be-

Often the water is dirty and
oily. Workers, demand the in
stallation of an adequate water
system, with the hard work and
the terrible hot days we must have
enough fresh and cold water to

But there is only one way Of
winning these demands, and that
is through organization in the

make the bosses come across with

Task of Worker in
Company Union
BY a Worker Correspondent

PITTSBURGH, Pa. When I
came back home three weeks ago
expected to go back to bravo
Co. on my old job on which I have
lost my energy and power. was
refused my job because they have
the company union and the A. F. of
L. and 1 am not willing to join
any one of the two. I have been
trying hard to organize the men
in the S.M.WI.U. and one of the
foremen knows this and that am
against the company union and the
A. F. of L., so that leaves me fiat
without a job and I have to raise
family of five children.
The bravo Co. even had a hear
ing in Washington, D. c. that they
didn't want to recognize the A. F..
of L. union, and gave the employees
charter after the manager had
scared half of them to join the
Co. Union, which they did and still
the company did not recognize the
A. F. of L. union.
The men that have joined the
A. F. of L. union, have spoken
to. telling them what VIM. Green
will do for them and what the SIN.
VIII. does for the workers. These
workers are beginning to realize
that they have been in the A. F.
of L. for two years and haven't
gained anything by joining it, and
are beginning to read some of our
literature and realizing that they
made mistake.
Editors Note. - This worker
should not isolate himself by refus-
ing to join an A. F. of L. union or
even a company union where all
the workers are forced to belong in
one or the other. Rather he should
take the job, join one Of these
unions, and fight for rank and file
control and a militant program in
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1934-09-01

the company union is by running
the scabs off Red Mountain. The
rank and file union members are
so angry at the scabs now that it
is not safe for the scabs to walk
the streets. Every week there are
three or four scabs that get beat
up, despite the fact that all the
scabs carry guns and knives and
are given the protection by the
city and company police.
Last week the company arranged
for the scabs to go to church. Com
pany thugs watched all around the
church while the scabs went in.
But they couldn't get a preacher
to preach to the scabs so church
was dismissed.
A couple of white miners were
asking how to get in touch with
the Communist Party this week.
They approached Negro miners and
asked them about the Party. The
white miners realize that the strug-
gle against the Tel. must be of
Negro and white miners united for
their common interests. The white
miners realize that the Communist
Party is correct and that if we are
to gain anything for the miners the
white and Negro miners must join
the Party and lead the union in
militant struggle to better their
condition.

cause of the new machinery in
troduced.
Many miners that worked in these
mines were forced to quit because
the work was too hard and speedy
for them. Some miners can stand
it for some time, but others can
work only few days.
One mine to which I am referring
is Submarine 2, The coal is only 3
feet 9 inches in some part, the roof
doesn't give the miners warning be-
fore falling in, These miners are
in the mine when coal is being shot.
The miners are producing as
much coal now in hours as they
did in 8 hours. Their pay is much
smaller now because the work is not
so steady and the grocery bill is
much larger since tn blue buzzard
placed the claws on the windows.
Most miners can't make enough
to buy their winter coal. The chill
dren of these miners risk their lives
and health from the gas smoke on
the COB pile to pick their coal needed
for winter They have a union
here, but if the miners want to i'm
prove their conditions they must
pull away from their present leader
and build their own rank and file
leadership.

lay action because the company Of
fers an excuse for making a miner
move. The slogan of the union
should be mo Union Miners Move
All Scabs Of Red Mountain
Another way the T.CI. is trying
to smash the union is through the
medical examinations. According
to the union contract it is not legal
to re-eXamine the miners for one
year. OF course the Tel. doesn't
pay any attention to the contract.
AS one union man expressed it,
They listen at your heart and if
you are good union man you don't
go back to work"
Tt is the job of the union to stop
T.C.I. from making these examina-
tons and using them as a means
of discriminating against the union
miners. Before the union came,
practically anyone could pass the
examination, but now the company
will use this a means of firing the
militant union men.
All of this is in line with the
policy of the T,CI. in smashing the
union and setting up a company
union. The company union is dis
guised as a Brotherhood and adj
yertises an attractive insurance
policy and recreation as it's main
purpose. The Brotherhood main
tains that the bosses and the miners
should always be on friendly terms,
that their interests are in common,
etc.
The last strike proved to the
miners how common the interests
of the bosses and the miners were.
1t proved the correctness of the
program of the Mill, Mine and
Shelters Union where it says, I'VE
hold that there is a class struggle
in society and that this struggle
is caused by economic conditions. 4"

the rest of the offices.
When he called off these three
names he only asked if you were

miner, asked why we have no
chance to nominate any one against
these three men. The president an
swered that he didn't think there
was man in the U. S. A. that could
fill John L. Lewis shoes.
Cadle replied that that didn't
make it fair election even if there

The district officials felt Lewis
would have opposition in this local
as they we're opposed a few days
ago, so they sent few of their
little petty opportunists TO attend
the meeting.
When Cadle was through, of
course, it was understood for the
local president to give them the
floor They told the miners what
a great man Lewis was and what
he had done for the miners of Dis
trist 2. One said he had not been
in the union as long as the man
who just spoke. All he knew about
Lewis was what he had done in re-
cent years, and the miners had bet
ter be careful that one spark in
their local could start flame that
would take the whole top off Of
everything Lewis had done.
I am trusting the miners in the
rest of the country won't allow such
corrupt practice in their union, and
crush this corrupt Lewis machine,
and do as the miners of District 2
and 5 in Pennsylvania are doing
and demand autonomy, and give the
rank and file miners a chance to
kick out all these takers Lewis has
appointed in their Districts.
