StOp-WatcheS Held
Over Workers In
The Sun Shipyard
BY a Worker Correspondent

CHESTER, PA short time ago
the Chester schools we're closed be-
cause there was no money to buy
fuel. The teachers salaries have
been slashed.
The big contractor, Hanna, who
got the job Of paving Ninth ST.,
has allowed the workers to work
about one week In over month,
just about long enough to take
those families of the Relief Board.
The excuse is that the weather is
too cold. 1t looks to the workers of
the county that the G. w. A. pro-
gram was invented to take the
workers off the welfare list. Instead
Of giving them employment, it is a
new system of starvation.
Hanna gets about $4,000 for the
Job and all he does is furnish the
machine-the politicians furnish the
bosses fire the machine runners
one after another because they do
not make the machine do the impos-
sible,-more speed-up. There is one
good thing about machines, there Is
a limit to their powers.
The City furnishes the tools, and
the contractor, after greasing the
palms Of the powers that be, swells
his bank roll at the expense Of the
starving men, women and children
Of the City.
During the past few years, speed
up and more drastic measures have
been introduced from time to time
at the Sun Ship Building and Dry
dock Co. but still the company Is
not satisfied with It's profits.
At the Wetherill Plant Of the Sun
Shipyard, efficiency men have been
put on the job, to time the workers
with stop watches. Two watches
are used, one to register the time the
worker takes of the job, and one
to register each individual operation.
The report Is that the Yard has
adopted this method as we'll as the
Machine Shop and the Foundry. One
report is that it only applies to the
production Of the "Junker" Engine.
The workers fear that this system
will become permanent on all types
Of work.

The sams thing happens with
municipal socialism" as with CO.
operative socialism" in capitalist
society. It is merely a branch in
the whole system of capitalist eco
nomy. And If the Embellishments
In the municipality of Vienna were
.conscientiously concerned with really
helping the working population, not
single Communist proletarian
would hurl reproaches at such a
municipality.
But the social-democrat dis
seminate illusions among the
masses through their theories that
Vienna is a socialist island in the
midst of a capitalist ocean. In the
municipality, the Social-democratS
carry on the same policy of con-
Citation with the bourgeoisie as in
the Austrian parliament. They
come into daily contact with the
representatives Of the bourgeoisie,

who are compelled for the time be-
ing to live in capitalist society, but
as people who have one and the
same platform-that of a common
wealth above classes" When
social-democracy penetrated into
the municipality of Vienna, it left
the whole reactionary apparatus
untouched. We know that social
democratic officials in the service
Of capitalist government are
gradually trained TO look upon
themselves as part and parcel of
the whole state apparatus. They
aSsimiliate themselves into the new
environment, take on the same
shade Of political opinion, the same
habits, the same manoeuvres, the
same manner of life as their fas-
cist and semi-fascist petty-bour-
geois surroundings.

Safety Still
acking in
Gary Plant
Govt. Agent SnOops To
List Workers Who
Have No Citizen
Papers
BY a Steel Worker Correspondent

By q Steel Worker Correspondent
GARY, Ird.-Safety continues to
be disregarded by the bosses of the
Central Mills under the direction
Of Mr.. Griffin, and that applies also
in the open hearths and includes
the transportation department.. In
the past 10 days the production
went up to an average of 80 to 35
per cent, but the working time in
creased with only one day week,
because with increase of production
they have put two engines in serv-
ice. The engineers are working 4
and days weekly and the switch
men are still on the old scale. of
work.
But as for the safety, there's none
Of it. For years they preached, but
there's no action put to it. Besides,
there has been government agent
in the plant, and the company built
a special Office for him. He drives
a car around with a title on it,
United States Service Engineer. He
calls all of the foremen in his Office
and asks them questions as to how
much education they've got He
questions from the boss to the high
est assistant superintendent, how
many of them passed grammar
school and so on. He also asks
them how many men they are able
to take care of, and besides all this,
all the workers were sent to the
employment Office to register as to
who has first papers and who has
second citizenship papers, and the
ones that haven't got them are told
to get their papers. But who can
get a paper now and pay $40 for
the first paper and $12 for the
second when the workers are not
making that money?
There's much more going on be-
sides this. When the MIRA. was
created, with the signing of the coal
code, instead of the company sell
ing coal and coke to the workers, it
made an agreement with the
city coal dealers that they should
allow coal and coke from their own
coal yards, but the steel company is
to do the deduction from the work
ers' wages. Well, we fought for it
through leaflets and shop papers
inside, but this is not enough. Wen
have to work harder than that to
win more. Only through militant
struggle can we accomplish the good
work, and not through the company
union representatives because we
know that they are nlisleaders to
the whole working class. The only
way out is through organization
and that is the Steel and Metal
Workers Industrial Union.

ROME, Gave iron workers
haven't gone back to work yet. Only
at the Hanks Store 81 Range Co.
the Iron Moulders' Union officials
got the workers to go back at 10
cents cut. but when they tried to
get us to go back at the wages we
were getting when we struck they
didn't succeed.
We have enlarged our tent. We
are having to fight the police de-
partment, the company and the Of
ficials of the I. III. U. But we are
going to win.
They are still not shipping a
damn thing. I think they are 60

can't get cars to load stoves in. Be
sure and get this piece in the Daily
Worker because some folks think

NANCY PACE
How Simple Can Evening
Refreshments Be?
py FLORENCE la GAykE.

What can We serve for refresh
mentS at II O'Clock at night? We
want something different" 1t seemed
to Nancy that she had heard that
cry thousand times. She had grown
tired of telling people they ate too
much at that hour, that the guests
weren't really hungry, that refresh
ment serving had become a burden
and an attempt to outdo the pre-
vious hosteSses. Nancy still believed
all these things.
She herself dared to act on the
courage Of her convictions, She was
apt to serve well chilled apples or
Winter pears that had been washed
and polished until their sides Shone.
With the fruit she had crackers and
cheese. or she served freshly popped
corn with rosy apples in a pewter
fruit dish. Or she had tiny SauSages
and fried cornmeal muSh. Or large
dish of delicious oyster stew. AND
the strange part Of it was this--her
guests tdlheO dOoub 1lCl 4C4A CSAiAAA~
and thoroughly enjoyed them.
But most of her friends were Gus
tom bound. They had TO have fruit
salad. sandwiches. dessert, coffee. Or
a dish like spaghetti with meat and
cheese and then apple pie or whipped
cream cake.
One woman wanted to serve cream
cheese sandwiches, pineapple and
cream cheese salad and chocolate
cream pie-three soft creamy mix
lures. all too rich.
She finally compromised on orange
and grapefruit salad with French
dressing, toasted rolls and buttered
before toasting. Then she had the
pie. She said her guests always asked
for that
She might have had rolls, split and
spread with devilled ham and grated
cheese which were put under the
broiler flame to toast and with this
a simple green salad and chocolate
whip with cream. This IS nothing
more than the filling Of the pie with
out the pastry.

forward. Something caused the Rat
to turn. Perhaps 1t was the faint

Shadow. Il was useless to run. With
his back to the wall he faced Shadow
with barred, ugIy-looklng teeth, He
was bigger. much bigger and heavier
than his slim little enemy. and he
was no coward. He had fought many

fight now. He looked both ugly and

But he really had no chance to

struggle and then the Rat lay still
