Speedily Makes Hamilton Dye
Shop Look Like Race-Track
But Workers Find 1t Useless to Get action from
A. F. of L. Chairman
by Textile Worker Correspondent

by Textile Worker Correspondent
PATERSON, N. 1.-THE Hamilton
Dye Shop in Riverside has a speed-up
that would remind you of race
track. A worker said that he had
all he could do to keep up with the
frames. When this worker was asked
what the chairman was doing about
it. this was his answer: First of all
the workers are in the A. F. of L..
The chairman is like the rest of the
A. F. of L. chairmen. All they think
about is dues.
This worker said that the N. r A.
visited this dye shop and told the
bosses that they could not do more
than 400 pieces a day, unless he put
on another shift, but he did not say
anything about the bosses rushing
the workers all the day.
The workers in the Hamilton Dye
Shop should get in touch with the
National Textile Workers Union Or
ganizer, and join the NT,W.U., to
show these bosses they will not stand
for this speed-up, because the N. T.
w. U. does not take dictation from the
bosses.
The National Textile Workers
Union has the February edition of
the Peterson Dye Worker Bulletin
ready for sale. All silk and dye
workers should get this edition be-
cause it is their bulletin, and do not
forget the only workingman's news
paper. the DAILY Worker" You can

Paterson ST., N. j.
The workers in the Weidemann
plant are waitinT for Frank Ryan,
the new A. F. of L. chairman, to do
something for the workers. He hasn't
done a thing for those who have been
laid off, and the workers who have
been laid off are not back to work,
as the business agent of the A. F. of
L. told the workers in a Weidemann
A. F, of L. meeting.
Ryan, why don't you have the A.
F. of L. workers elect q committee
and the N. T. w. U. elect COM
mittee, and have one big shop COM

mittee Of both unions to take up all
the shop grievances. Then there
would be an all-union shop, because
it would be united front with all
the workers. A Weidemann worker
who was laid off, and went back for
his last pay, was asked if he wanted
to pay so cents, and before the month
was up he received this letter from
the company:

sibIe for us to carry your life in
surance, under orr group plan,

Daily Worker at the present time. I
have been a worker for Roulston and
know their system Of hiring and
firing help, in fact all their methods
of doing business.
Whenever any of my articles sp-
pear in the Daily Worker, for in
stance the Roulston article, 7 go to
18th st. and get a bundle Of left
over 'Dailies," mark off my write-up
with heavy crayon and deliver or
mail to 20 or Is of their store man
ayers. They will see that there is
one paper on our side. Many may
subscribe and get courage to write.
Roulston and his superintendent,

won the competition; otherwise we
should have been terribly emhar-
raised; our poetic talent being at it's
lowest ebh just now. 1t is easier for
Mike Gold to become a good physi-
clan than for us to shine, even as
fifth rate poet. Physicians can be
trained; but inspired bards like
Michael Gold are born, perhaps once
in century! If you doubt it, re-
read his poem on Tom Mooney. It
was a gracious gesture for Mike to
write the article on constipation. And
with all the handicaps, he was only
few dollars behind, anyhow.

Everybody that is active in the union
knows that the Lovestonites work
hand in hand with the president of
the I. L. G. w. u, Mr.. Dubinsky.
Through mass pressure, Dubinsky
was forced to give hearing to a
committee of the expelled leadership
of Local 9, although we knew before
that he would only approve of what
his committee has decided. Seeing
this, the Lovestonite Zimmerman had
to act quickly SO as not to be seen
as more reactionary than his presi-
dent of the I. l.. G. w. u.
From all this the workers can learn
what mass action in both cases on
the part of the workers can do. The
Lovestonites try their best, even
strong arm methods, to force their
rule upon the members, but the
workers showed at the last section
meetings of the local what they think
of the Lovestonite administration and
in every case the vote was for the
left wing. Workers, dressmakers, be
on the watch against these betrayers
of the candidates of the needle trades
workers. Fight together with the left
wing group for better conditions and
democracy in the union.

How the A. F. l. Is
A Sen-0ut Machine
by Worker Correspondent

my worker correspondent
CLARETNONT, N. H.-Here is a
story about the A. F. of L.
The woolen mills here had a meet
ing, and now they have an A. F. of
L. A violin player I know said that
he Joined it and I told him it was
sel-out machine. He was some
what taken aback. A number of the
workers are French.
I also wrote last month about how
the poor children were used in our
schools. The girls must have a gym
suit. Those who are not able to
afford one Rang their heads in
shame. Just becauce they are poor
they take advantage of them.
Editors Note: The recent silk
strike, in which the United Textile
Workers "a. F. of L. leaders like
McMahcn held back the New Enc
land silk workers from striking in
sympathy with the Paterson work
ers until very late in the strike,
shows which side, the workers or
the bosses, the A. F. of L. leaders
are on.
Notice the actions of A. r. of L.
leaders in every strike. You win
see that they try to stop the
struggle from spreading. that they
try to keep ont other workers who
want to HELM the strikers, and they
try to teach the workers not to
rely on the helm of other workers,
but to rely on the bosses govern
ment, on Roosevelt and the NR.A.
If they lead strike they do so
because the workers insist on strik-
ing even without them, and be-
cause these A. F. of l.. leaders want
to make sure of getting big salaries
whether the strike is won or lost.
They therefore try tn get the striI.-
ers back as Quickly as noss;b'e,
with the least trouble for the
Bosses, even if IL nnenns losirrn the
strike, so that the boss VIII help
them (the A. F. of /. leaders, when
it comes to collecting dues from
the workers.
Workers can stop this only by
forming strong rank and file COM
mittees, and thew can get the help,
in the wooden mills, of union that
has never sold out to the bosses,
because it Is controlled by the rank
and file. the National Textile
Workers Union.
The difference between the Ma
tionaI Textile Workers Union and
the A. r. Of L. union Is well Illus
trated In the article on this page

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
Thumb Sucking

West and East.-The fact that your
sisters child and your own, suck their
thumbs, is a mere coincidence. We
do not believe that Misunderstanding
has sexual significance, the Freud
ian conception, notwithstanding. Your
California sister can get "Bo-Peep
Cuffs" at 308 Sea View Ave, Pied
mont, Calf. You can get them at
Best 81 Co. and at Gimbel's These
cuffs are made of a heavy grade of
"plastacele" which is easy to clean,
transparent, and durable. They are
large enough for the child's whole
hand.

Menstrual superstitions

ID. ", Bennington, VT. = Volumes
have been written on the silly, odd
and funny superstitions about mems
truation. What sense is there to re-
peat such hodge-podge of ignorance?
The popular proverbs are contradic-
tory, in this, as in all other subjects.
Yes, it is true that the Talmud looks
upon the flow as IMPURE and teaches
that intercourse during menstruation
brings forth epileptics, cretins and
lepers; but Rabbi Meyer, in the same
book (Nida,l, p, 80 praises menstrua-
ton as a useful and beneficial phe-
nomenon, a sort of natural matri-
monial holiday, from which the wife
emerges as renovated bride.
