ers. The N. R. A. and the codes is
lot of bunk. The hotel bosses
made the code to suit themselves.
They raised the rates for board but
they exploit the help worse than
ever.
There is only one ray of hope for
the resort workers in the mountain
and that is the Resort Hotel Work
ers Union. Already it has become
a factor in settling grievances for
the workers.
Take the case of the Branlin Hotel
in Fallsburgh, where the boss dis
charged waiter because he didn't
have a black tie. And didn't pay
him in the bargain. Union repre-
sentatives came up to the hotel and
when the boss saw the temper of the
workers he came across nicely and
paid up.
The workers are beginning to
realize the need for a strong union
in the mountains and the applica-
tons for membership are coming in
right along.
l. Every unemployed and en-
ployed worker should register with
the Resort Hotel Workers Union,
Address Box 545 Woodbridge, N. Y.
@ Write to the Union office telling
of the conditions and grievances in
the hotel
3. Organize the workers in each
hotel and elect a shop committee.
4. Demand a day off for every
worker and the hiring of extra help
to end the speed up.

the members of the 18th Ward of
the Pennsylvania Unemployed

ting tactics of the leaders of the
American Workers Party.
The American Workers Party
leaders are trying to expel Steve
Pukanez, who is a member of the
14th Ward. under threats of split
ting the League.
At the last Ward meeting the
membership elected new delegates
to the Lehigh County Executive
Committee to fight against the ex-
pulsion.
In the 9Th Ward, the largest local
members voted Overwhelmingly to
instruct their delegates TO the ex-
ecutive committee to fight against
the expulsion.
The framed-up charges against
Pukanez which the A. w. P. leaders
brought have been so thoroughly
exposed that some have been
dropped despite the fact that these
A. w, P. leaders are in complete
control Of the top apparatus. The
vote by the body was is to in
favor of expulsion. The three dele

In letter to the membership
Pukanez stated:
"A few weeks ago you were in
formed that the Lehigh County ex-
ecutive committee decided to re-
commend and demand of the 14th
Ward, of which am a member, to
expel me from the League.
THE 14th Ward League, after
considering the charges, refused to
eXpel me. At a subsequent meet

which the taxi drivers and street

Jack Killing, District Organizer of

Agencies and Resort Bosses
ExtOrt Labor for Nothing
Applications Pouring in for Union TO Struggle
Against Intense Exploitation

MONTICELLO, N. Y-The en-
ployment agencies in Monticello rob
the resort workers of hundreds Of
dollars. Here is how they do it.
They send a worker on a job in
a hotel, which pays the wonderful
wage of 20 to Is dollars a month.
They exact from the worker a fee of
50 to $3.50 which is to come out of
the first month wages. If the work
err happens to have few dollars
the agency takes the fee in advance
and if he has no money they make
the boss from the hotel advance
the money. After or days are
up the worker is sent away, and
having deducted the fee from his
wages, the worker is left with so or
75c. in. his pocket. The worker goes
back to the agency for another job
and the process is repeated.
When the season is up the worker
finds that he has shaved away a
whole summer for the enrichment
of the agency and the bosses. The
worker doesn't put in kick for
fear of discrimination and black
listing.
A few words now about the
working conditions in the hotels.
In general the conditions are no bet
ter than they we're last season and
in some places lot worse. The
hotel bosses have learned the trick
of making 9 workers do the work
that it took workers to do last
year. The kitchen help are forced
to work from in the morning till
10 at night. The walters are
driven at such terrific speed that
frequently they drop from exhaus-

Bell Hops Work
Without Wages at
Ocean Royal Hotel
Bv a WORKER Correspondent


OCEAN ROYAL HOTEL. Bradley
/ Beach, N. J.-This hotel is an eX-
/ elusive one. the largest in Bradley
Beach. They charge S45 per person
with private bath. on the Ameri-
can plan; $50 per person with adj
joining bath, also on the American
plan.
The bell hops work for no salary
at all, depending on tips. They
work an average of Sc hours week
with hardly any change in shift.
The food they get is miserable.
Their diet consists of stew without
any variation and of an inferior
quality.
This is not only peculiar to the
bell boys, since all the workers are
subjected to the same diet. Some
of them have complained of abdom-
inal pains. The walters have spoken
to the employer without very many
results. The food improved for a
day or two, and then lapsed into its
original condition. These workers

boys, walters, chambermaids, and
the staff in the kitchen are all over
worked and underpaid.
The hotel provides cottages for
the workers, which are in a de-
plorable condition. Five to six per-
sons sleep in one room, one bath
room, no change of bed linen, and
no clean towels. There is no one
in charge of these cottages to keep
them clean, and the employees work
all day, with a few hours of rest,
which are occupied by cleaning
their own things. Consequently the
cottages remain in an unclean con-
dition. They want to strike for a
definite salary for the bell hops,
a larger salary for the rest of the
staff, and shorter hours, with a
more equal division of labor. The
guests of the hotel are in sympathy
with the workers.

When the working class is en-
gagged in strike struggles, the bosses
have several methods of bringing
about their defeat. First they at
tempt to utilize the labor bureau
cracy to betray the workers. If they
are not successful in this, they en-
ploy two tactics,-terror and the
red scare" telling the workers that
the Communists are responsible for
/ their difficulties. If they would
throw out the Communists. they
could settle their differences peace
fully with the employers. 1t is nee
