Speed-Up in Aluminium Plants
Closely Rivals That of Ford

They use the bonus system here
as means of getting the workers to
put out more production. The
worker, in striving to get this little
bit Of extra money, generally pro-
duces more than is allotted to him.
The result is that the task immedi-
ately goes up, and he has to put
out still more in order to get the
bonus.
This system and the ability of
the Mellon controlled Chamber of
Commerce to keep other factories
away from this district, has given
the Aluminium Company here the
most skillful and efficient workers.
Word is out to the foremen that
any workers that cannot keep up
the speed are to be replaced. When
man Outlives his usefulness for
Mellon he is eased out and others
are gotten to replace him. So, there
is always a string going in and a
string Of broken down workers 60

Surely Ford has finally found a
worthy opponent in speeding up the
workers We have men working here
that claim they are now working
as hard or harder than what they
did for Ford.

that Life begins at forty" has never

Communists Led Strike
Now Murphy will blurt out what

led the cigar strike. That's why
the whole set of Roosevelt Murphy
maneuvers failed. The Commu-
nistS anticipated and exposed every
deception. The illegal. underground
Communist Party of the islands is
growing in strength and influence.

landlords, Selling the land. The
Communists are leading the strikes
on the rice and sugar plantations
and in the factories. The spectre
of Communism hapnts the Philip
pine Islands as it haunts the rest
of the capitalist world.
It is unlikely that Murphy will
mention to Roosevelt that Earl
Browder. General Secretary of the
c. P. U. S. A, sent him a scorching
telegram protesting against the
murder of the cigar makers. and

After six weeks on the picket line
the cigar makers won wage in

Most of the workers here are in

not quite as popular this year as
he was at the same time last year.
Huey Longs popularity is on the
increase. Workers are writing to
him, asking how he expects to carry
out his plans and also offering him
advice, telling him that if the work

bullets.
The company union election is

GARY, Ind.-Who is this man
Koran? You workers in the Mer-

Company know him well.
He is nothing more than a petty
racketeer and CRATER, a turn fore
man in the inspection department.
After his first shock and heart
break at seeing himself exposed in
the January issue Of the Gary
Steel Worker" he has picked up
the pieces, glued them together.
and now he is strutting around,
pretending that he is proud to find
himself written up in the "Steel
Worker" He even complains, when
there are plenty to listen to him,
that he was only on the second
page and not the first.
Remember Ed Wall, HoranP He
too woke up and found himself on
the first page. When the company
could no longer pass over his graft
ing and had to give him the gate,
the Gary Steel Worker" spread the
news all over the front page. We
can do it again, only this time you,

NEW KENSINGTON, Pa.-Local
1885 Of the New Kensington Alum
mum plant has many shortcomings.
But when the conditions that exist
in the plant today are contrasted
with the conditions that existed
prior to the organization of the
local, the result will show that the
union has benefited the workers to
a great extent. Still, the local has
failed to effectively combat an evil
that is facing the workers here
the speed-up.
The plant situated here is I be-
lieve the first aluminium plant to
be erected, and much of the ma
chinery installed at that time is still
in use. Yet. we workers here have
to compete in output with some of
the more recently constructed plants
of the Aluminium Company that
have the use of more modern
machinery. This gap is bridged by
the excessive burning Of human
energy.
When the eight-hour day was in
augurated here, the workers were
almost Immediately forced to pro-
duce as much as they had previ-
ously produced in the twelve-hour
day.

No Compensation
On Relief Job
By a Worker CORRESPONDENT

BURLINGTON, N. Con the re-
lief Jobs we have no kind of insur-
ance. Our lives are in danger all
the time and if we get hurt It's Just
we that have to suffer.
The other day, man working on
the F. E. R. A. tried to twist two
cables together with an iron crow
bar. The bar slipped and cut a
deep cash in his head and knocked
him unconscious. Ten stitches had
to be put in his head and all he
got was his doctor bill paid. The
boss mass told him that it was his
fault and that he was lucky to get
anything at all.
Another example of mistreatment
on relief jobs was when the boss
man got mad at one of the work
ers who was standing on the edge
of ditch and because he was not
man enough to control his temper,
he kicked the worker backward into
the ditch.
It's always been that way because
We workers can't get job anywhere
else. We have to work on the relief
for little pay with no kind of in
Surance in case of an accident. If
we get killed, we get killed, that's
all, and our families are left to beg
for direct relief.

Four Workers Held
In Eviction Fight
BY a Worker Correspondent

BY worker Correspondent
COLUMBUS, ohio.-Remnants of
feudslism exist on stambaugh Ave,
in the State capital of Ohio. Negro
workers live in this neighborhood,
and today find themselves enslaved
to a sharecropper landlord by the
name of Wilson. Wilson has as his
private attorney the present Attor-
ney General of Ohio, John Bricker.
Wilson also has the services of the
liberal Justice of the Peace, Bach
man, and his constable flunkey,
HaineS.
During the past ten years work
ers in the neighborhood bought
land from Wilson. They built their
own homes on the land, and today
they find that they owe Wilson
more than the land originally cost.
Wilson wants to evict these work
ers, take possession of their homes
which represent lifetime of labor
and savings. The workers have
been kept in ignorance of the exact
amount of their independence to
Wilson, as he did not give them
receipts regularly. On the pretext
that these people were tenants rent
ing from him, Wilson has been re-
ceiving approximately 500 a month
from the charities.
These conditions were discovered
when Wilson started an eviction
rampage, beginning with Mrs. Nor
gan, a widow. The workers are now
fighting to save Mrs. Morgan's
/ home. Four workers have been ar
rested in connection with this evic-
ton: David Jackson. member Of the
l.. S. N. R., and vice chairman of
the Marion Township o. U. L. unit;
Mrs. Morgan, Sam Hendricks: and
H. Pollack, section organizer of the
Communist Party The trial of the
first three will take place on March
4th in the court of Justice of the
Peace Bachman; Pollacks trial will
be held March 6, in the township
court Of Justice OF the Peace,
Becker.

OF the workers and for dismissal Of
charges against the accused, is be-

Plan Deportation
OF Seamen
BY Marine Worker Correspondent

BY Marine Worker Correspondent
PHILADELPHIA, Pa. The
Roosevelt New Deal and its depor-
tation terror machine under Fanny
Perkins is plotting drive against
the 1000 seamen stranded in
Philadelphia.
immigration authorities have
completed plans to herd foreign
born seamen on relief here into
the allen" detention house at
Gloucester, N. j. Though immigra-
ton spies, aided by local relief Of
f1cials, have failed to dig up EVIL
dence sufficient for deportation,
they are preparing to issue warrants
wholesale, threatening seamen here
over sixty days with deportation.
Waiting only for stamp of ap-
proval from Federal relief authori-
ties, local relief officials point out
that il would be cheaper to deport
these men to starvation or death
than to continue giving them the
90 cents day relief they succeeded
in forcing from the Transient Bur-
eau through militant struggles.
In the meantime, the Philadel-
phia County Relief Board has
started a slashing attack on sea-
mems relief. Many rooming and
eating houses eligible for seanen's
relief have been stricken off the
list and large number of men
denied relief In this way relief
officials resume their drive towards
concentrating seamen into a few
places and keeping out the militant
elements.
immigration authorities are
charging that local relief is so
luxurious, that seamen make no at
tempt to get ships "Alien" seamen
should therefore be deported
This is all part of the shipowners'
drive to smash unions among the
seamen by forcing the older and
more militant elements out of the
industry and replacing them with
young, inexperienced, docile boys
provided by Seamen's Church IN
stitutes and such notorious, float
ing fink halls as the U. S. S. Mercy.

follows:

because he had no shoes and the
Home Relief Bureau refused to
grant him any.
Being on work relief at twelve
dollars per week I can hardly buy
food at the prevailing prices, let
alone shoes and clothing.
Il reported this to the teacher.
Thereupon, Miss Regain sent with
my son, Henry, a bundle of clothes,
just dirty rags. When I opened up
that bundle of rags I felt so insulted
as if someone had slapped my face
in public.
mo, Mr.. Principal I shall not put
on those dirty disease breeding rags
on the body of my beloved child. We
shall not allow you to degenerate
him to state of pauperiSm. Is this
what you want to make out of proud
Americans? Is this what I fought
for in the war? Is this democracy?
IT did not want any rags. am
sending them back. I demand shoes.
However, I do want to make clear
that l do not expect this to come
out Of the cut salary of the teachers
but out of the huge profits of the
bankers who control the Board of
Education.
Il shall not send my son to school
until he gets Shoes"
