Bronx, N. Y.
I bought the Daily Worker in
front Of the Van Nest shop on Fri
day and found a lot of news about
conditions on the railroads. There
was a note asking us to write to the
Daily Worker about our shops, so if
you want to publish it, here it is.
In the Van Nest shops, the COM
pany has hired skilled men, pipe
filters, electricians, machinists, etc.,
as laborers and has them at skilled
mechanics work. While the scale
for these jobs runs from IS cents to
81 an hour, all We get is 40 cents
less the 10 per cent cut.
The bosses know that We laborers
who were formerly skilled mechan-
les are sore, so they make rules so
that we cannot talk with the other
shopmen. We have to come in eight
minutes earlier, like the others, but
we can't knock off eight minutes
earlier because they are afraid that
we will talk with each other on the
street car or on the street what to
do about the rotten condition.
Even the company union is closed
to us laborers to keep us divided
and from organizing.
Now that the elections for the

Letters from,

LA GUARDIA is REAL YELLOW
DOG"
New York City.

new YORK City.
I wish to say that the name "yeI-
low dog" which La Guardia so
Chilly used to William Gaynor, fits
Mr.. La Guardia very well, except
that he is yellow dog in sleeps
clothing.
While he was campaigning for his
election as Mayor of New York, 1
sent him a letter by registered mail.
In that letter I offered Mr.. La
Guardia facts about racketeering in
the life insurance companies and it
states that all the racketeerinp
about the stock market and bank
ing racket which have been exposed
IN recent years, would be as Moth
ing compared to the racketeering of
the industrial insurance companies.
My letter was just ignored.
The reason it remained unan-
swered is that Mr.. La Guardia was
sent to City Hall to protect those
very interests of the racketeers and
not the people of New York. He
is not here to improve financial
and economic conditions of the
people, but to get every drop of
blood of the starving people and
turn it over to the bankers and
insurance companies. All economies
he has made are at the expense of
city employees.
To the delegation that LaGuardia
called yellow dogs" I wish to say
that these men are fighters and
that every time they are acting in
such a delegation they are riskinq
their lives for the destitute people
of New York. They are the shining
stars that nature has produced-the
real yellow dogs are La Guardia
and his associates.

Don't you see the system the

chanic were told tomorrow that
you were to go on ice or car clean

Would you still favor the family
gathering" better known as the
company union, or would you be
in favor Of a real union, not con-
nected with the American Fedora
ton of Labor, but uLion composed
Of all the workers in the yards
which would fight for your rights?
This union is not matter of
money, the initiation fee and dues
are whatever the workers decide
they should be- We realize how we
got robbed by the A. F. of L. This
is different, this is built and sup
ported by all classes and all colors
and all races of workers in the
Yard.
Fellow workers, this is the fight
Of all of us. Do not think that be-
cause we are here today we will be
here tomorrow. Don't forget that
some of us are getting old, that is
what the company considers old.
Each day we are speeded up more
and more and some of us can't
stand the pace much longer
When you read this you will say:
by God. this is right" But do not
go to sleep after you read this.
This company union is the bunk.
Look who got the job of delegate
to represent you in the last one.
Take the case right here in Sunny

Fellow workers: Join this union

Editors Note. - This worker is
correct about the company union.
The New Haven R. R. has it be-
cause it keeps the workers tied so
they cannot fight for better condi-
tons. The reason the company
keeps the laborers out is to further
divide the men against each other.
Only real union, made up of ALL
the workers in the shop and yard,
controlled by the men instead of by
the company, can win better condi-
tons for the men. The workers
should talk this over among them
selves and lay plans for organizing
all the departments. The workers
in the company union should or
ganize themselves in their own de-
partments to fight for real griev-
ances In their own departments.
For further information on how
to organize, the workers should
write to the Railroad Brotherhoods
