of all its preaching, posters, safety
committees, etc., shows that it
really is not interested in the mat
ter of safety when it comes to prac-
ticing it inside the mill. While all
this talk about safety goes on, the
company is proceeding with its pro-
gram of speed-up. Speed-up and
safety, like oil and water, Just don't
mix.
The workers in the plant are re-
quested to ask for changes in any
instance where it will mean safer
working conditions. When they do
make these requests, nothing is ever
done about them.
When a worker is injured, only in
extreme cases will he be allowed to
leave the plant, for if he does it
means lost time accident. Many
worker painfully injured had to
remain in the plant while in pain.
The foremen in the plant vie with
each other in having the best record
in eliminating" lost time accidents
The company uses this means of
keeping their rate of compensation
insurance down to minimum by
forcing the workers to work even
when they are in no condition to
do so.
While all this safety" talk goes
on, they are increasing the speed
up, so that today the workers are
working at terrific pace, in total
disregard of their safety"

RESULT OF A BAD MEETING

Dear Comrade Editor:
l want to join the campaign in
the letters column for better or
ganized meetings and meetings that
begin on time. Only I don't think
the Party is taking it seriously
enough; there ought to be an edi-
torial in the Daily" and directives
to all the organizations.
This is what happened to me
not once but several times-because
our meetings are so long and Dor
ing. I took four potential comrades
to hear Ben Davis at the Liberator
banquet last summer. The meeting
started an hour or more late. Then
one speaker after another-must
have been a dozen in all-got I'D
and talked and talked: every one
OF them for hours. 1t was midnight
before Ben Davis spoke.
And by that time my friends had
got worn out and gone home. One
of them I've won back. The other
three just laugh and kid me now.
They say they don't want to go to
another one of those meetings and
be talked to death" r. P,

At C.CC. Camp Boyington the

They sleep in large room, where

warmed over toast and potatoes
with coffee.
The camp which has about 24O
men gets 80 gallons of milk a day
However, the men do not get the

In order to leave camp a good
reason must be had. Dissatisfac-

considered good reason. If one
has a job on the outside he can
leave.
Speakers are sent at regular in

Once each month a report is

Price of Coal
Scars Upward
In West Ohio
BY a Worker Correspondent

MIDDLETOWN, Ohio.--I wish to
inform you of the worsening con-
ditions in Middletown. One of the
magnates in the American Rolling
Mill, Inc, namely Andrew Mellon,
and the sister paper mills of both
Middletown and Hamilton, all have
joined hands in cutting the workers
little income, by raising the price
Of coal from 81 per ton of coal in
1888 to SO by October, 1884. The
workers have had no raise to meet
the added cost. Foodstuffs have
gone up in the same way, clothes
and housing equally as much in
proportion, and every worker in this
city is facing winter worse than
any winter in history.
Many little children are out of
school because they haven't got
sufficient clothing to go out into the
street. Even the relief that the
poor are getting here is of the
cheapest kind. Junk for clothing
and food found anywhere.
The officials of the American
Rolling Mill (Mellon Pittsburgh in
terests) are heads of the Civic As
ISOLATION (the relief bureau of Mid
dletown) and they have all the
controlling power in the City Com
mission of five, and just appointed
Hamilton man as city manager,
Walter S. Braun, by name, who was
defeated in the new election for
county auditor by W. K. Swan. Now
the capitalists of Middletown have
drawn Walter j. Braun as their
choice for city manager, over the
wishes of the same people who
showed in the last election that
they wanted none of Braun for pub
lie service. Despite over 800 pro-
tests from several working class
groups of Middletown, Braun was
put in.
feel this is a scheme to attack
further all those who are on relief
and all the part time workers, who
work in stores, factories, mills, roads,

Hokum Begun
In Chicago
BY a Worker Correspondent

CHICAGO, Ill.-Mayor Kelly and
his committee for Chicago's Own
Christmas benefit, composed of the
city's wealthiest department store
owners such as John T. Pirie and
Maurice L. Rotschild, promise to
provide complete outfit of warm
clothing for every needy Chicago
child on Christmas Day"
In their own words, they aim to
raise only 100000 to supply $4,000
children not only with clothing but
also with toys. At the same time it
means that hundreds of thousands
of needy Chicago children will be
left with hopes for some other time.
While this drive for Chicagos
Own Christmas Benefit is merely a
scheme to pacify the suffering un-
employed, free advertisement for
the Department Stores, and at the
same time a cheap publicity stunt CT
humanitarianism for the coming
mayoralty elections, it can be fully
utilized by the militant unemployed
organizations and the A. F. of l..
Rank and File Committee for Relief
and Social Insurance to arouse the
masses of Chicago's unemployed to
compel the committee to make good
not only these promises but to the
extent of supplying every needy
man, woman and child with warm
winter clothes.
Campaigns carried on by unem-
ployed organizations will also serve
to unmask the shallowness of the
promises and deeds of the Chicago
Tammany machine and the whole

HAzELHURST, Pa.-The work
ers in this town hear a great deal
over the radio and read in the Buff
falo capitalist press, about the New
Deal. the forgotten man and the
great movements that are under
way for the benefit Of the old, young
and deformed workers.
Recently, the net results Of all
this bunk was brought wildly be-
fore the workers here.
This was done through the case
of a 52-year old worker, totally deaf
and dumb from birth, who paid
taxes in Mexican County for 80
years, and his father who is now
dead paid taxes ten years before
him. While this worker was trying
to exist on lousy $1.50 per week
from the relief takers, his gas was
shut off and short time later they
shut off his water. Now, they have
served him with an eviction notice,
and he has paid 81, 100 on his home
which he bought for 81 400 when he
was working.
When his case was taken up with
the County Commissioners, they ad-
vised sending him to the county
poor farm to eat mush.
Several of the forgotten men here
we're truly remembered" a week
ago. They had been in the woods
cutting chemical wood for several
weeks, trying to make enough to
have their gas turned on for the
coming cold weather, and to get
some warm winter clothes. When
they went for their pay checks, they
discovered that a couple Of tax buzz
yards of the capitalist class. had
swooped down on the boss with a
garnishee and took all they had
coming with the exception of few
pennies.
The young workers were forced
to pay back taxes for their parents.
A few days ago relief faker
came to this town with some winter
clothing for the unemployed. After
getting out of his car, he said that
the weather was too cold to pass
out any clothing and turned around
and went back. He was dressed
warmly himself.

hunting season opened, two work
ers here, one with a family Of three

Recently I read an article that

close any report by DR.. I. M. Kasa-

If the method was discovered this

the usefulness of the method will

A new method must be tested

Attack Follows All
Night Vigil in
Bitter Cold
By an Auto Worker Correspondent

~ e~AA EAaNO NFOAnSA correspondent
DETROIT, Mich.-Where are the
jobs Ford promised us? About 5000
of us were out there week ago
Monday looking for them. A large
number of us were there from 10
p. m. Sunday night till am. Mon
day morning What did we get? We
were driven away by Ford's mounted
police. They drove us away and
swore at us just as cowboy drives
cattle. If we stopped to light a
cigarette or speak to someone, they
would wave the whip and rush their
horses on us.
1t was cold. We were cold. We
had been there all night because we
wanted jobs. 1t could have been
much colder than it was. No matter
what kind of weather it was we had
to be there in that cold open field
all night. Our shoes had thin bot
toms. Our overcoatS were ragged.
Some had no overcoats at all.
We built little fires to keep us
warm. But what happened to those
fires? About S a. m. the service men
came and put them out with chem
1cals that were almost as strong at
tear gas. The effects of these
chemicals on us were similar to tear
gas.
AS soon as the service men would
put the fires out, we would build
them up again. When they saw
that we were determined to have
some heat, they left our fires alone
and we kept them till 8 a. m.
This gives good idea of how we
can win better living and working
conditions from Ford and the other
exploiterS. The same way we
stopped those service men from
putting out our fires, we can stop
those bloody cops from driving us
around with horses. We are not
animals, we are human beings and
we must be treated as such. We
must stand together and dare Mr..

rights.
