PASSAIC, N. J.-This is to let
you know a little about conditions
in the Lodi Dye Shop, the United
Piece Dye Works.
Supposedly, everybody is to have
a day off every week. Instead Of
closing down the mill for one day,
they let a certain amount Of men
Off every day.
Now, the majority Of the workers
do not like that at all They are
plenty mad about it because they
know there will be exceptions.
Many will have excuses to work
every day in spite Of the clause in
the contract which says there will
be an equal distribution Of work.
The union officials do not want
to fight that. just yesterday I

AL Worker Relates Reasons
For Discomfort in His Union

slave and exploit them2 Then why
shouldn't the different organiza-
lions and the unions go hand in
hand? What a tremendous infu-
ence for the good of the workers
that would be?
5. How can man who has been
in a union for years get up and
defend the capitalist press, saying
how fair it was to strikers? That
contemplate and lying mouthpiece
OF the ruling class! Is it not true
that the more subscribers and the
bigger the circulation a newspaper
has, the more advertisements they
get? Well, who advertises in the
press? The very class of people
against whom the unions are fight
ing to get decent living. What
irony!
In closing, I will say that not
once have heard the Scottsboro
boys mentioned. The A. F. of L.
paper mentions Mooney now and
then, but no other class prisoners.
A person who is class-conscious and
politically educated sits ther e
through these meetings realizing
the misery and injustice on all
sides. You cannot but help think
what a tremendous influence for
good those craft unions could be
under proper leadership.
Another thing, craft unions not
only split, the workers up but also
keep them pitted against each other
That is why believe in industrial
unionism.
Editors Note: This worker,
remarks expressing his opinion OF
the American Federation of Labor
are very timely and his criticism
Just. Still, the important thing is
the solution to these problems.
He says that the evils are due to
the fact that the membership is
backward and not class conscious
That is where he and other class
conscious workers have an impor-
tant role to play in educating THEN
brothers in the unions. That this
can be done was shown by the VIC
tories of the militants in the Frisco
local of the LILA. where the men,
bership voted out the old line mis-
leaders and voted in a militant slate
headed by Harry Bridges.
Industrial unionism is one of the
oldest issues in the American labor
movement. Today the marine work
erS on the Pacific Coast are taking
steps in this direction through their
fight to set up a marine federation
to include all marine craft unions
These examples should be the
guide for all militants in the A. F
of L. to follow.
incidentally, this worker would
have made his story more effective
if he wrote what local of the A. F
of L. he was member of. All work
ers writing in should try to include
all the facts in connection with
what they are dealing.

THE NATIONAL 3 S 9 U l I
COMPANY STRIKERS held a mass
meeting last Friday night. For an
hour and half before the doors
opened, they milled around ST..
Nicholas Arena in New York where
the meeting was to be held.
A crowd of girls who were stand
ing near me were asking one an
other, Were YOU to the picket line
this morning."
You'd better be there Mondayp
Mary, you son Of a gun-if I don't
see you on the picket line-Ill-"
There was much talk going the
rounds between the girls to show
how anxious they were to throw
their energies into the strike.
THERE ARE MANY WAYS the
A. F.. of L. leadership holds back
the fighting energies of the work
ing class. One of these is to hold
down to the lowest minimum, wo-
mems activities in time Of strike.
The wives of striking street car
workers were told last month in Los
Angeles: stay away from the cars.
Serve coffee to your men. Be lady
like!" The leaders of the National
Biscuit Company strike take the
same attitude to the women.
THERE WAS MUCH TALK
ABOUT PICKETING inside the
hall. Sure" said one of the men
eff the girls come down to picket
the people will know women are in
on this fight too"
But when Calvin, the president
of the union got up to speak. he
said, Remember girls-you are to
stay away from the plant! Stay
away from the plant! The only
picketing you do is to picket your
neighborhood groceries SO they will
not sell National Biscuit Company
products. Leave the plant to the
men!"
So once again. the A. F. of L,
leadership Of strike tried to shift
to one side an important, fighting
force Though picketing must be
done at the groceries and in the
neighborhoods. the place to keep
scabs out is on the picket line in
front of the plant. And during
these past few years, women have
shown their effectiveness on mass
picket lines.
THE MOST PRESSING DUTY
OF THE WOMEN STRIKERS is to
show the officials that they know
their place is on the picket line in
front of the plant in large numbers.
GROUPS of women sympathetic to
the strikers should offer them their
services for picketing in front of
the grocery stores. The picket line
is at 18th Street and Tenth Avenue,
New York City.
THE PRICE OF MEATS HAVE
RISEN TREMENDOUSLY this past
week. One example is the price of
round steak which has gone up five
cents pound in a few days in the
grocery store around the corner. I
would like women to send into this
column the difference in prices Of
various products, today, and a few
months ago at their neigftorhood
grocery stores. 1t would be much

Senator Huey P. Long is a "po-
litical tomtit"-"a very small bird
that tries to initiate a woodpecker," j."
Representative Percy L. Gassaway,
Oklahoma's cowboy Representative,
declared last night in a long -antici-
pated radio attack on the Louisiana
KingfiSh.
GaSSaway also described Long as a
"militiaized dictator" in suggesting a
substitute for the Senator's share

his definition OF tomtit:
1T will attack the biggest tree In
the forest-just like the Kingfish is
attacking President Roosevelt-and
after hammering away vigorously for
a while it flies around the tree to
see if it has knocked it down or
pecked hole in it."
GassaWay talked at length about the
fact that he and Long have the same
irthday-August 30-but pointed out
that ''he was born in the dark of the
moon while I was born in the light
Of the moon"
MY old Negro nanny" added the
pugnacious GassaWay, who has a
reputation for fistfghts, used to say:
BE careful, child, about playing with
these white trash born in the dark
Of the moon.'"

DES MONIES, April s.-The corn

Spring -plowed and field work generally
showed normal progress.
Two dark spots were on the hori-
zon. An ominous drought, which
spelled disaster to crops last year,
still clung to western and southern
fringes of the corn belt. Over sec

Of another chinch bug invasion.
Coupled with the drought in parts
of Kansas and Nebraska was the CROP
choking dust, delaying Spring farming
operations.
Iowa Prospects Good.
Prospects for a good crop in Iowa
were bright. The soil contained more
than the normal amount of moisture
and field work progressed favorably
Chinch bugs were reported in about
10 counties.
Except for the chinch bug threat
the crop outlook in Illinois was bright
In some sections the soil was too
wet to permit field work.
In Southern North Dakota plant
ing operations were under way. Farm
ers, cheered by the recent heavy snow,
were hoping for generous rains from
May to July to give their crops a
thriving start The State was re-
ported lacking in Subsoil moisture.
With soil moisture back to normal,

officials predicted increases in cash

Nebraska Seeding Lags.
Seeding was reported slightly be-
