The pay is supposed to be given
every month. but it is often paid a
week or so later. and often in checks,
on holidays when they can't be
cashed. The workers should form
committees to get paid promptly.
Sometimes when worker is given
a cheap room in the apartment he is
given no rest. At all hours Of the
night he is called on to do emer-
gency jobs.
The food is UNBEATABLE. 1t is not

excuse to give stale food to the work
ers. The workers often get only her

LAKEWOOD, N. J.-Seizing an OPP
perfume t.1.,e, the New Year holiday
week-t.id, the newly formed Hotel
T-1rKers Resort Union of Lakewood,
affiliated with the Food Workers IN
duStIlal Union, carried through 8
strike as a result Of which II hotels
were forced to grant all of the
unions demands. Another result Of
the strike was the improving of con-
ditionS in every hotel in Lakewood,
although they did not deal with the
union.
The conditions under which the
hotel employees worked were tntoler-
able. They were given but 81 or So a
week in cash; the rest of the wages
being in the form of a place to sleep,
which was either a fire trap attic or
a damp, disease breeding cellar, and
miserable scraps which the hotel
guests left at the tables and which
were served to the workers as food"
These miserable conditions produced
such a militant spirit among the
workers that the union grew by leaps
and bounds.
The signal for the declaring Of the
strike was demonstration of over
300 workers bearing aloft banners
which carried the unions demands.
These demands were-and are, for
the workers are still on strike and
picketing at number Of hotels-as
follows:

Comrade George L. T. of Chi
cago, who has already sent
some menus and recipes for
use at red affairs, sends a sug-
gestion for a soup to feed the del
egates Of the National Unemployed
Convention at Washington, and ex-
presses the wish to go along as con-
vention cook. A real comradely de-
sire, sure to be appreciated by the
delegates: however, have been adj
vised by the committees in charge
that there will most likely be no eff
fort this time to cook for the del

delegates given lodging along the

for soup-making en- route sent by
Comrade George might prove very
useful, if not on this trip, then on
others, so we give it here.

The second outstanding weakness
OF our Order is the slow growth of
our English, cur Youth, and our
Children's Sections. This is not pure
ly a weakness of numbers; it is g
political weakness. 1t is also caused
by the inability Of the Order to find
its place in the class struggle. AS
long as the class struggle activities
Of the Order are looked for outside
Of the activities of the Order proper,
there can be no inner unity and no
concentration on one definite pur-
pose.

ana to lead these workers out of

consciousness. This task is accom-
phshed by organizing the life and

However, We cannot accomplish
this task if We remain basically a
