ALL Holds Back
Workers Struggle
IN the Paper Mills
By a Worker Correspondent


MONROE, Mich.-In this city we
have about six paper mills, belong
ing to three different companies.
in which 1000 men are employed.
There is q Paper Makers Union for
all the shops which is under the
control Of the A. F. of L., and they
claim to have about 1900 members.
But the workers are disguised at
the conditions of the paper mills
and the union has not taken any
action since it was organized last
fall.
Last November the workers elected
a committee from every shop, but
the A. F. of L. organizer said it's
not necessary to have such a large
committee because all the workers
wouldn't have a chance to talk, so
the workers accepted this proposal.
The River Raisin Paper Co.,
which owns two shops and en-
ploys 900 workers, has the worst
working conditions. The ma ority
of the workers labor about two to
three days a week and they earn
from 40c to 45c an hour. For a
while the company used the six
hour day, and the workers began to
revolt against the starvation wage
scale, and at mass meeting dc
cided to go out on strike. Then the
company changed the working day
to eight hours and at the same
time laid off 100 men end womon.
But the union did not take eny
action TO rehire these workers, Of
which the majority belong to the
union.
During the last two months the
workers were ready for action, but
the A. F. of l.. leaders prevented
them from taking such q course.
Every time the committee went
before the company to ask a wage
increase, the bosses told them they
We're unable to raise the wages be-
cause business was awful slow
On April 18th, there was a mass
meeting at which 600 workers were
present, and the ma jority of them
wanted to come out on strike, but
the committee held them back.

how and where to join This is
the road to one union OF all work
ers in Fisher Body Co.
We believe that the comrades in
the shop can put out a better paper
from the standpoint of political and
organiza ional content as well as the
technical makeup. This requires
the active guidance of the Party.
Cleveland is a concentration point
of the Party and there can be no
excuse for the neglect of the Party
organ in such an important plant
as Fisher Body Co. Lee us hope
the next issues will reflect more
progress and better Party activity
in this factory.
Ncte:-Since writing the above
review the Fisher workers went out
on strike. The A. F. of L. mis-
leaders were able to manipulate the
strike, heading it and ordering the
workers back to work with nothing

the vegetables are donated it will

Newspapermen who interviewed
him aboard the yacht Nourmahal late
yesterday on Gun Cay in the BAHIA
mas, refused to accept press bulle-
tins" supported by all the members Of
the party Of the ship, that the Presi-
dent had pulled in a sperm whale
with Q 3-inch line.
Mr.. Roosevelt himself read the bull
letins. One said he had landed the
whale after q fight of almost eight
hours. It was emphasized that had
he not landed the whale within the
eight-hour working day he would
have given up the contest.
However, investigation revealed no
whale. A highly colored queen trig-
ger Of blue and green was the only
thing on board to show for the presi-
dental fishing. --
The newspapermen informed Mr..
Roosevelt they sided with the story
told by Elliott that he was having
no luck. The sun-tanned President
took the verdict with a smile and ex-
tended his congratulations to Elliott.

PARTIES WATCHING.
ILLINOIS PRIMARY.
Size Of Vote Is Eyed for an
Indication of Outcome .
in November.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, April lo.-Illinois tossed
q straw into the breeze today and the
politicians Of the Nation watched 1t
carefully.
1t was primary election day. Not
. very hot primary, in itself. but the
observers" hoped to get . faint idea
Of how the weather vane will point
next November when the new deal
comes up for q major test.
Congressional nominees In IS dis
tricts and two in each party for Rep
resentatives at large were among the
candidates being chosen. There was q
host Of candidates for minor once.
In Chicago-scene sometimes Of elec-
tion-day violence-she police took ex-
ira precautions.
New Deal" Not an Issue.
While the new DEAL" generally
speaking. was not an issue, it had
bobbed up occasionally during the
campaign, especially In the tenth con-
gress1onal district, where the name of
Secretary Of the Interior Harold L.
Ickes was drawn into the fight be-
tween Representative James Simpson,
jr., and Ralph Church for the Repub-
lican nomination for Congress.
Simpson lambasted the administra-
ton after Secretary Ickes had given
his personal Endorsement to Church.
1ckes asserted that Simpsons steeple.
chasing and polo playing had not
qualified him for Congress.
Then, too. there were Republican
shouts Of Recovery without Revolu-
tion." but the important factor in
volved. as seen by the generals Of the
opposing camps, was the size of the
vote garnered by the Republicans and
Democrats. In that they saw a pos
sible indication Of what November
might bring.
Predictions were that the vote would
be large for an of year, but far short
OF the 2,l3l,01 cast in the general
election in 1882. Generally fair
weather was forecast, and with the
elements favorable. party leaders
looked for vote Of about 900, 900.
Ahhee-Sioeo rlSnt develops.
Except for bitterly fought local Is
sues, general interest lay principally
In the outcome Of the races for Repre-
sentatives at large, and the contest
in the twentieth congressional dis
trict. where Speaker Henry T. Rainey
OF the National House sought renomi-
nation against James H. Kirby. Rainey
charged that Wall Street money was
thrown into the district to defeat him.
A three-sided fight for Representa-
tive at large nominations popped up
the Democratic primary. Michael L.
1goe OF Chicago. who unsuccessfully
battled Henry Horner for the guber-
material nomination in the 1892 pri-
mary, had his party's Endorsement over
Walter Nesbit Of Belleville, an incum-
bent. The other incumbent seeking
denomination Is Martin A. Brennan
Of Bloomington.
c. Wayland Brooks of Chicago head
ed the Republican slate for nomina-
ton as Representative at large, against
q field OF six opponents.
The Representative at large candi-
dates and those seeking the voters
favor for superintendent of public in
struction and State treasurer were the
only ones being balloted for on a
Statewide basis.

This was the only war really ex-
pected. The European war talk has
been recognized as nine-tenths diplo-
matte hooey from the start.
Too many Europeans feel like Huey
Long. Their governments may be mad
at each other, but the people are not,
and it takes the people to fight.
On this basis. the best international
expert on the inside here believes that
there will not be another war in Eu-
rope for at least 10 or Is years.
That is too long to hold your breath.
What the master insiders
confdentially expect is orerthroD
of the French government. They
Mould not bet nickel that it piu
last out the Summer.
The truth Is that they think France
Is well on the way to becoming q
second rate power. 1t will take a
strong man to save her. Great Britain
is laying low and trying to restore her
connections with her colonies.
In that respect, Britain Is doing
right well. The consolidated position
of her empire was never better than

been forged across the seas to the
provinces.
The two coming nations Of Europe
are Italy and Russia. Their influence
will grow.
Germany Is Problem.
What will happen in Germany is
any ones guess. Hitler has proved
himself to be far more than the dem
agogue that Europe suspected. He is
strongly entrenched. What will hap
pen to him no one knows.
The underlying reason why Presi-
dent Roosevelt feels so strongly on the
veterans issue lies in his personal ex-
perience
He has two or three friends who
are presumptive veterans cases. They
are fragrant cases. They collected
disability allowances for injuries pre-
sumed to be of war origin but which
really had less connection with the
war than injuries sustained by agita-
tors for American peace societies.
Their cases were jokes, even to them
selves.

BATTLE TO DELAY

An under-the-surface battle to keep

session was started yesterday after the

Senate Judiciary Committee.
Friends Of the legislation were con-

Mr.. Roosevelt made up his mind
long before he became President that
If he ever got In, he would stop that
sort of thing.
He still feels that way. despite the
overriding Of his veto. You have not
heard the last from the White House
on that subject.
The President does not feel that
way about the Government pay cut
angle.
He opposed that feature in his
ceto message. But he secretly in
tended to ,odire his objections. had
the peterans' angle of the legtsld-
ton been satisfactory. he tDould
actually haze signed the bill it it
had not included the ueter0ns'
provisions.
That means the White House will
do no further tinkering with the pay
issue.
You can accept that as gospel.
Despite all the encouragement from
the Treasury, the proposed constitu-
tional amendment for taxation of tax
exempt securities will not pass this
session.
Treasury Not in Hurry.
The administration men on Capitol
Hill have been permitted to under
stand that the Treasury is in no hurry
about it.
The truth seems to be that Treas
ury Secretary Morgenthau used that
amendment in sleight-of-hand style
to help his Spring financing problem.
He appeared almost too willing to
testify on the subject and then sug-
gested that the House Committee
doors be opened so all the world
