A FIGHTER FOR THE BrAssEs

NEW YORK.-As a reader of your
splendid, fearless and socially con-
scious paper, the Daily Worker, I
have been very happy to note the
vigorous, enthusiastic and bold man
ner in which the Daily Worker threw
itself into the fight for the better
ment of conditions of the long-suf-
fering masses, and I have come to
conclude that before long millions
like myself will learn to realize that
the Daily Worker, as the mouthpiece
Of the masses, is entitled to the
wholehearted support of every man
and woman hoping and striving for
the dawn of a better day to come.
Therefore, deeply impressed with
the role the Daily Worker is des-
tined to play for the liberation Of the
masses, and appreciative of the fact
that it's services in the interest Of
humanity cannt be dispensed with
without mourning uncomfortable loss, I
send my mite to the cause SO we'll
and so faithfully represented by the
Daily Worker, and urge every class
conscious man and woman to support
the Daily Worker to the fullest
extent. E. J. S.

THE APPEAL FROM CHINA

Dear Editor:
You ask us to write our opinions Of
the Anniversary Number. can only
speak of it in superlatives. ! Just
finished it and here it is Thursday
already.
There is one spot that caused me
to grieve. That spot is the appeal
in the greeting Of the Communist
Party of China. You know that next
to the great ''sun," the q. S. S. r.,
which spreads such vast warm
glow OF hope in the breasts Of all
workers, there is the only other So
vietized district in the whole world,
and it, too, casts rays Of hope to
workers Of the world. Why are We
so negligent in defending it?
The Communist Party Of China,
in it's greeting, asks us "to stop the
flow of Wall Street money to Nam
king. They ask us ito halt the
munitions that leave American ports
to be used to murder Chinese toilers,
to recall American armed forces from
Chinese soil and waters, where they
massacre men, women and children,
whose only offense is that they de-
mand liberty and rice"
It grieves me to think that we
fail so riserably to protect our sec
ond ray Of hope, the Soviet Districts
Of China.
A more concerted effort must be
made! We must answer that urgent
appeal.
Colrradely,
WILLIAM E. LEE.

Single Men Victims of
Preaching Slave Driver
fBy An Unemployed Worker
Correspondent

SOUTH BEND, Ind.-A hard life
for the single men in the bread line.
The slop house is controlled by Ray
Bird, preacher and director of City
Rescue Mission. The workers are
treated rough; the manager in the
slop house is like one of those that
keeps convicts. Everyone In the slop
house must work before meals, or
after from 10 minutes TO four hours,
according to his duty"
But some go to Mr.. Birds
Sunday School, some don't work, and
they have a better chance to obtain
clothing or other help Those who
do not go to pray and listen to all
kinds of religious baloney Of Mr. Ray
Bird are Systematically Disseminated
against.
Workers have been forced to work
one day each week on the city gar
den last summer and fall; those who
refuse are checked off the bread line.
Workers are used for hospital blood
TRANSMISSION.
The keeper, Birds agent in the
slop house, formerly in a perfume
factory, treats workers rough for
small things. He Furnishes them,
takes meals away and when one
failed to come to work, he was
checked off for a week. The food
has been collected, left over, and
cheap, and sometimes rotten. 1t is
hard to get piece Of clothing.
Graft and discrimination is prac-
ticed against foreign born workers;
they always have the worst. Scrub
bing floors and other duties.
Last summer they picked up dozen
foreign born workers to work for Mr..
Ray Bird in City Rescue Mission
property park, making new roads for
SO cents for hours, and they fed
them in the slop house. They gave
strict orders that anyone who refused
to work one day for his meals, a
week will be checked off. The work
ers who gave money for community
chest in the Studebaker, Bendix, and
Oliver, by this will see how single
men are treated and starved by Mr..
Ray Bird and his gang.
We readers Of the Daily Worker
pledge to spread and read our col
lective organ, the Daily Worker, in
spite of all obstacles.

Meet Saturday to
Plan Fight Against
Weidmann LayOffS
CBy Textile Worker CorrespondentJ


PATERSON, N. J.-rhe Weide-
mann A. F. Of L. chairman Joe Liss,
"the Rat" is also known as Joseph
LesowSki, SO Blocker St., Paterson,
N. J.
The Weidemann workers were get
ting laid off from Jan. II to Jan. II.
The workers who have not been laid
off are working 8 hours day. The
bosses are doing this to divide the
workers so they can cut down wages
to 45 cents an hour The workers
will have to stick together to stop
the bosses from giving the wage cut.
The National Textile Workers Union
called a meeting for the Weidemann
workers to see what could be done
about this. In this meeting the work
ers elected committee Of IA Mt.
WI. members to go to the meeting
that is called by the A. F. of L. for
Saturday, Jan. %, for the Weidemann
workers, to get the workers to elect a
committee Of both unions to go to
the bosses, so they can get their jobs
back.
Also in this N.T.W.U. meeting there
was a report given by Lodi dye work.
erS where they are all in the N.T.W.U.
These workers told the Weidemann
workers why no workers were laid
of at the Lodi dye shop. But some of
the steady pay bosses were laid of.
The A. F. Of l.. leaders cannot fool
around with the workers, and the
hoccoc Ky,Ouy tHa yrot-ly aY.c will not
stand for it. That is because the
workers all stick together in the
working mans union, the N.T.WU.

Fought in Bosses
Wars, Now Forced
Into Filthy Shack
(By an Unemployed Textile Worker

by An Unemployed Textile Worker)
PATERSON, N. jim January I
will be so years old. 1 fought in the
Russo-Japanese war and my two
brothers fought in the U. s. army
in France. One brother was killed
fighting for democracy" and the
other, finding no work, rejoined the
army.
Until about three years ago
worked in Weidemann's plant of the
United Piece Dye Works and other
dye plants. While working there I
fell sick on the job and was taken
to the hospital, where I remained II
days. The cause was that I did not
eat enough to keep me going on the
job.
Several months later I was hired
at the Hawthorne plant Of the same
company. But was only there about
six months. The bosses probably
found it not so profitable to keep
me working there, as they had
already used up my youth and
strength.
Now live in small, leaky shack,
improvised out of old pieces Of tin,
wood and cardboard and chance
pieces of glass for windows. Built
over an old dumping ground, on both
sides Of a brook, these shacks, many
of them without floors, the damp
and filth fill the air. In spite of
all this, however, you find the shacks
surprisingly clean and well kept.
On approaching this Roosevelt
ville' you will find the men hustling
around, picking up scraps of tin,
metal, cardboard, ETC., for a truck
that comes around now and then.
This is how they make a few cents
in order to buy such articles as sugar,
coffee, ETC.. for breakfast and Sun
days, as their tickets to the poor
house do not allow for more than
two meals day, and none on Sum-
day.
The emergency relief refuses to
give these men food orders as they
say they have no home. On the
other hand, a home is not given
these men They are told to go to
the poorhouse, but, 1 say, It's better
to sleep in this shack than in that
filthy prison. Such things as kero-
sene and coal are also not provided
and the men must drag this scrap
heap in order that they shall not
freeze.

|. Miller Workers

(By a Shoe Worker Correspondent
LONG ISLAND CITY, N. Y.-The
workers of the 7. Miller shop were
supposed to have a vote on Jan. 2,
1884, on which union they choose. I.
Miller and his stool pigeons found
out that the workers sentiment is to
vote for the United Shoe and Leather
Union. The date for voting was put
of to Feb. 2, so as to give the bosses
more time to discourage the workers
about the United Shoe and Leather
Union, which is the rank and file
union, and force them to vote for the
Boot and Shoe (scab) Union.
I. Miller and his stool pigeons 90
everything to force the workers to
join with the Boot and Shoe (scab)
Union. The chairman of each depart
ment called a meeting and told the
workers that I. Miller decided to stop
reinstating the workers that were
left out. From now on the workers
have to pay dues to the Boot and
Shoe (scab) Union if they want to
have their jobs.
Some of the Disseminated workers
applied for their jobs. They were told
that they might as well be told the
truth, that they will not get their
jobs back. The workers reply was
that the decision of the National La
Dor Board was to call off the strike
and I. Miller was to reinstate all the
workers without discrimination, there
fore, we are entitled to our jobs
back. The superintendent got excited
and told them that they will not get
their jobs, they might as well save
the 10 cent carfare by not calling for
the job.
7, as a member of I. Miller shop,
advise the workers to demand a vote
on Feb. 2, 1884, without fail. The vote
should not be held in the factory.
