Spoiled Vegetables
Shipped at Terminal
NV : Worker Corresrondent

NEW YORK; am one Of gang
of workers employed In discharging
potatoes and cabbage that arrive at
the Jay st, Terminal in Brooklyn.
This food is rotten and frozen
when it arrives. I picked up about
fifteen potatoes and brought them
home and all I could use was two.
The potatoes are stored in one of
Arbuckle's warehouses and taken
out again as fast as possible before
they get too rotten to be handled.
The cabbage is worse yet and
that's being stored on old Pier 8,
Brooklyn, foot of Main st
Most of this stuff was unfit to
eat when 1t arrived. What will it
be when the unemployed workers
get it2 Some of the better potatoes
and cabbages are picked out by in
spectors and foremen and sold to
restaurants and stores in the neigh
borhood. What does Fiorello think
of that7

NEW YORK.-The following are
my observations after having been
out of high school for one year and
q half. I am sending this because
I honestly feel that ii might set
some other young person thinking,
I am a young girl, nineteen years
old. I finished my high school
course in June, 1888. Since that
time I have worked in sample
card factory, for the G, W A. and
have had some other temporary po-
sition. This interval Of my life is
typical Of many, many other girls,
who until they are married, must
needs 90 forth and earn the4r hv-
ing.
When I left school, I fairly reg
tllarly made the rounds OF the vari-
GUS employment agencies. AS re
suit, my rosy schoolgirl dreams
went plop, I was taken by the
shoulder, as II we're, and grIffly
shaken awake What I saw and
heard there forced me TO realize
that all was not as I expected It to
be-
The files Of these employment en-
poriums were already filled with
applications Of thousands Of girls,
and those in charge we're tense and
unsynpathetic. New girls were
rarely given applications. Beginners
didn't have chance. The waiting
rooms we're most always crowded ;
and day after day I would see the
same faces, the same girls Not
many we're ever given positions.
After several weeks Of such fulfil
fly, a friend Of the family was kind
enough to aid me in securing q posi-
ton at his place. It was sample
card factory owned by four part
ners My salary for five days lex
eluding Saturday. was s1i.50 and
for six days tincluding Saturday,

Before. I went to work at the
sample card factory, I had filed an
application with the G. W. A. and
unexpectedly was summoned to
work. It was not quite as easy as
that though There we're many de-
partments to 90 to, many forms to
fill and many interviews to be had

Chain Store
Clerks Desire
Org anization
CBy a Worker Correspondent


NEW York; occasionally buy
at one of the Sheffield chain grocery
stores. When I do, I always try
to start conversation with the
clerks about their working condi-
tons and economic problems.
A few days ago, the store being
empty OF customers at the time, I
was able to get the information that
large number of Sheffield clerks
have Just received pay cuts for a
New Years present. Also, a num-
Der of stores have recently been
closed throwing the workers who
we're employed there out OF Jobs.
This has come about directly after
the purchase by the company Of
a large number of new and expen-
sive trucks.
The workers IN these stores are
unorganized. The particular ones
with whom I have talked are will
ing, in fact anxious, to join union
and fight for better wages, etc,
Naturally, being IMMERSED in organi-
rational problems, they lack the
initiative to attempt the organiza-
tional work by themselves. The
general intimidation policies Of the
company and also the knowledge OF
how workers in the A. and P. and
Butler chains have been victimized
for union activities, keeps these
clerks in state Of fear of losing
their jobs.
There is a great need OF action
on the part of the Grocery Clerks
Union here Why don't they send
an organizer to these fellows? 1t
is time this milk company was
taken down from its high place.

SIlAVA DUNN discusses today,
for children:
MANY people have an idea that
Nl children's play Is very UNI
important, Just something with
which to amuse themselves, and
to keep them quiet.
ITO the children, however, It
Is a very serious business, for to
them, 1t Is = way Of learning.
Through play and experiments
ton, they learn about the world
around them. 1t Is true that play
means joy and pleasure to them,
since most of the things children
do, mean new and stimulating
experience-but at the same time,
play Is real education for them.
you know how little children like
! to touch examine handle, and
even taste the things that attract
their attention, They experiment
with things, even break them some.
times. But they must do this, il
we want them to have an inquirins
mind, and be able to find thing:
out for themselves.
"pECAUSE children do all these
u things, parents will do well to
provide the kind of toys that en-
courage free experimentation.
Children like to DO things with
their toys, rather than merely
passively watch them.
Large rather than small toys,
and simple rather than elaborate
toys are best for them. Mechani-
cal toys, for example, fascinate
children, but for a short time.
Such toys can usually do only one
thing. and they usually break
easily.
$50 give them toys that can
be used for a long time, with In
creasing interest.
II ARGE blocks, bought or made q
Il home, are the best and mos
lasting toys for the pre-schoo
child. He can do endless thing
with them. An inexpensive way Il
provide these Is to get some 'twt
by four pieces Of lumber and GU
them into four, eight and twelve
inch lengths, sandpapering then
for srnoothness. One or two dozer
will do at the start. More can b
added as the child grows anC
needs more.
"HLAY, large crayons and paper,
" wooden beads, or old spools
and large buttons are good for
quiet play. Boxes, jars, rope,
pieces of string, paper bags rub
Der bands, colored pieces of cloth,
ETC., are all well-Dked by children,
and cost little. Ten cent store
cars and trucks are usually strong
enough and inexpensive.
IF dolls are used. 1t is best to
have simple, durable, undressed
dolls rather than the dressed up
expensive kind"

Boss Union
Forced Upon
SteelW Orkers
by a Steel Worker Correspondent


FAIRFIELD, Ala am worker
for the Tennessee Coal and Iron
Company. I want to wish the
Daily Worker a Happy New Year.
I would like to tell all the work
ers that in 1885 We must have a
workers and farmers government,
Now I want to tell you about the
T. G. I. and the company union.
The Fairfield Mills have been run
ming on a stagger plan for 80 days.
Now they are running five days a
week, and they say We can belong
to any union we want to.
But, look out for the company
union, for they check up on every
union man they can find and lay
him off for thirty days. The thing
is that you can't work If you don't
belong to the company union. I
have seen all this since the ore
strike.
We started UP the A. A. here In
the sheet mill. But when the ore
strike was over, Mr.. Crawford would
not call us out with our brothers.
Now we can see what is taking
place. The thing for us to do is
to build our own union. Why should
we build the A. Az Because we
can win by building a strong rank
and file movement in the A. A. We
must also take the Daily Worker
and build the Communist Party.
The company is trying to black
ball all real union members be-
cause they know they can't win
when we build real union and q
strong Communist Party, Then we
will not be hungry and sorry and
tired and the boss can go to hell
with his company union,

Severely Hurt
On Relief Job
tBy Worker Correspondent

FAIRMONT, W. Va.-The State
Is building q bridge over the Buffalo
Greek here in Fairnont. The
building of this bridge was given
over to q private contractor. Relief
workers are used on this job. The
speed-up is very great, while safety
measures are not taken until some
one is seriously injured. They be-
gan building the bridge in Septem-
Der. Already nine workers we're in
jured, some breaking their arm or
leg or suffering from other injuries.
About a month ago a 17-year- old
boy, who was the water boy, fell off
the bridge, 83 feet high. This boy
was sent up to take water to some
of the men without first telling him
which way to go and If the boards
we're nailed down and safe to walk
on. The boy fell SO feet down onto
a barge which had logs in it. AS
the boy hit the logs he rolled into
the water. He did not lose con-
! seriousness but was able to swim to
shore. When he reached shore he
Just lay on the cold ground and no
first aid was given to him but he
lay for an hour in the cold until
the ambulance came.
The name Of the boy Is Steve
Vitro and he was receiving 20 cents
an hour for his work.
The rest of the workers on labor
Jobs receive IS, As and so cents an
hour.
A Job like this really takes skilled
workers at this trade and their
wages should be from IS cents an
hour to 65 cents an hour. By using
relief workers they pay less which
means the lowering of the wages
of the skilled workers,
The means of protecting them
selves on this job is by having a
relief workers union which will help
them win better conditions on this
Job,

''It is vain to speak dishonesty of
