Workers Win Demands
Under FWIU Leaders
By a Worker Correspondent

BAYNIEW, WASH, Jan. 81
Due to the militant activity on
the oyster beds of the Padilla
Bay Oyster Company, all work
ers this week won pay increase
and other concessions on the job.
Men had been working night or
day, exposed to the bitter wealth
er. standing for hours in mud
ankle-deep.
The scale of pay was 80 cents
per rs bushel basket, divided
two ways, allowing only Is cents
per basket for each. The most a
man could earn in a day was
$3.50, and actual wage of IS cents
per day prevailed in many cases.
Strike action was discussed.
An active member signed up the
workers in the Fishermen and
Cannery Workers Industrial I'm
ion, and a committee of five
was elected to present the work
ers' demands at the head office
of the company in Everett.
Win Big Raise
The committee won 80 to 70
per cent raise in pay per basket,
and a closed seow to provide pro-
per shelter transporting them to
and from the oyster beds. With
this splendid beginning we win
have a strong union here, in
spite of the red scare the bosses
have tried to raise.

ABERDEEN WORKER AsKEDD
AID VERA DISCRIMINATION

Dear Editor:
A militant worker recently took
his daughter to the welfare
board office to take up the
problem of shoes for his daughter
and fuel for his family.
The leading faker, Mr.. Riley,
met him and asked him how
things are going, and displayed
the usual line of soft soap and
demagogy.
The worker stated that there
were a lot of things that he need
ed but wasn't getting, and pre-
scented his grievances.
Given Order
He was Immediately given an
order for shoes and rubbers for
his daughter, as well as three
comforters and the promise of
the delivery of a load of wood.
This appeared to be too good
to be true, but the worker took
everything and went over to q
store to get his daughter fitted
with shoes and rubbers.
While at the store he was call
ed to the phone by the same Mr..
Riley, stating that he would like
to have the worker come back to
the welfare office as he wanted to
have a talk with him. At the Of
flee Mr.. Riley made an offer of
a job on the VERA. He said he
wanted the worker to go over to
the VERA office, and see Mr..
Murray.
Personal Recommendation
This job was to be secured
upon the personal recommends
ton of Mr.. Riley, who would do
everything in his power to make
it a good job, by seeing hiatt the
worker was supplied with all
the things he had at his disposal,
besides the wages, which would
be $3.50 per week. tHe has con-
troll of clothing, fuel, and govern
ment eommodities.)
The interview with Mr.. Murray
of the VERA soon disclosed that
it was a special job with special
purposes, and that the worker
had been selected due OF his mill

Bears Won't Eat
Stale CCC Bread

TACOMA, Jan. 31-Point De-
fiance bears won't eat bread
from the CCC camp table near
the park. Some of the CCC work
ers have been taking extra bread
from the table and throwing 1t
into the bear pens. The bread
lies in the pens untouched and
the workers investigating, found
that the bears would only eat
fresh bread.
A bakery truck brings the
bears fresh bread daily, while
the workers eat two to five days
old bread.
Scarcity of Food
A scarcity of food also is re-
ported in the same camp, cOnsid-
cred a model one. Two such
general complaints occurred one
day last week. The workers state,
however, that the officers don't
lack anything on their table. All
of the workers are demanding
more food.
Discipline is also tightening

to summon them to all camp

the workers at the very apparent
