.——_—___} WANT NO UNION [RELIGION YIELDS FIVE PER CENT- MINERS AROUND - os THE DAILY WORKER INTEREST, INCREASES PROFITS, AS DIRECTED BY SAINT ROCKEFELLER § T EEI F L MILLS NEW YORK, May 24,—John D. D. Rockefeller, Jr., has been figuring largely Fayette Miner Discovers Something By YEAGER (Worker: Correspnodent) PITTSBURGH, Pa.—The Carnegie steel mills at Clairton, Pa., offers 44c an hour, 10 hours a day for skilled men, while others, having received a higher rate, are being laid off. <A minet, formerly working in the Fay- ette County district near Uniontown, after many futile efforts trying to get into some mill, finally succeeded in getting a job at the Clairton plant. Before getting this job he looked for work in other steel mills in Ohio in other places. “When asked what his previous work was he was very thuth- ful, stated that he had been a miner. After the company had gotten this in- formation he was gently pushed aside and told there were no jobs open. After several such failures he de- elded to try another method to get a job. When he came to the Clairton and was asked what he had worked at before he told them he had been a helper in a boiler shop. It worked, and he was given a job at the rate of 44c for 10 hours. ‘Why was he turned down before for simply stating that he had been a miner? The Carnegie Steel company desires no former miners working for them as they have practically all more or less participated in union activities, The Carnegie Steel company wants no talk of organization going on in its mills, hence the precaution when it comes to hiring former miners. It’s a Nice Country—For Millionaires. No wonder Carnegie could make his millions and be a philanthropist, do- nating libraries, while the men toil for miserable wages, scarcely enuf to live on. The miner who just secured the job in the Clariton mill had formerly worked in Fayette County coke fields: During the strike of 1922 he was evicted with many others. He was compelled to move into one of the barracks in which eight families ‘with 32 children lived in six rooms. Under these conditions his wife gave birth in the publicity of getting religious enterprises in New York City lately. An appeal received by the DAILY WORKER for the (methodist) Broadway Temple Building corporation—that plans a $4,000,00 skyscraper community church with apartments to let—asks us to buy five per cent bonds towards the project and encloses, as a clinching argument, a copy of a letter from the oil king’s son endorsing the plans and announcing his own subscription for $250,000, Rockefeller’s letter is an excellent illustration of business christianity, stating “Not only will the structure dominate the surrounding buildings, as religion should dominate all hu-* man activities, but this type of struc ture, because convertible entirely in- to business uses if necessary, renders far safer, in these days of constantly changing city life, the large invest- ment involved.” The personal appeal says blandly, “You are not asked to donate a single cent. You are asked to allow a part of your money to earn 5 per cent:” Rockefeller’s religious investments are inter-denominational. He recent- ly gave $500,000 to the building fund of the Caihedral of St. John the Di- vine, ani subscribed $1,083,333 to the $4,000,000 drive of Union Theological Seminary. His own “worship” is at the Fifta Avenue Baptist church to whi.h Raymond Fosdick, liboral preacher, Las been called. Corne!iis Woelfkin, retiring pastor, was buffer for Rockefeller during the stormy days after the burning of the women and children at Ludlow, Colorado, When Bouck White, pastor of the church of the social revolution, at- tempted to ask Woelfkin about his parishioner’s crimes he was roughed up by detectives, hustled off to jail and sentenced to six months’ impris- onment, PEARSE CONNOLLY CLUB FORMED IN SAN FRANCISCO Condemn Irish World for Attacking Relief Work By J.

To accom- plish the latter purpose, the club will work in close conjunctton with the International Workers’ Aid. The club is arranging to hold a benefit, dance and entertainment early in June, and will endeavor in the future to hold monthly or bi-monthly dances as long as the famine crisis lasts. The club meets every Wednesday evening at 225 Valencia, and people of Irish birth or extraction who are in- terested, are urged to communicate with the organizer, Brother Fitzgerald at 225 Valencia, San Francisco.

WORKERFIRED BY “B. &O.PLAN” FOR BEING UNIONIST Here’ s* Something to Tell Your Buddy By STEPHEN, (Worker Correspondent) PITTSBURGH, Pa.—A former local officer of the machinists in the Glen- wood shops of the. Baltimore and Ohio railroad has been fired for opposing “B, and O. Bill} go-operative plan. Of course that ig,npt the reason given by the company,or their committee, but neverthelegs;jt is so. While working in the Glenwood shops Harry Smith was taken off his job because herwiped his hands on the heavy greage, before the whistle blew, a customjexisting in all the rail- road shops of the.country. He turned his case over to the co-operative com- mittee, Some Tall Dodging According to the “plan” grievances must be taken within 15 days, but the committee, did not present it un- til after six weeks had passed. In place of fighting to have Smith put back on the job the committee acted true to its name and co-operated with the company, .giving it the right to fire Smith, using as the excuse that the time limit to take up grievances , | had passed. Smith during the time he worked in the Glenwood shops served or many committees. The last office he held was secretary of the machinists local and owing to his opposition to the B. and O. plan, although he was not very active or aggressive, he was defeated in a three cornered election by a dyed in the wool conservative and a supporter of Johnston and his plan, and who at one time had to be removed from the-shop committee for ! the manner in which he handled the grievances. A Job Against Unionism The defeat“of Smith became an after which it was easier for the company to get rid of him which they did at the opportune time, This terrérizing of the workers who. are opposed. to the plan is the reason they are afraid here to openly oppose it and which is reducing the one time militant shop crafts organ- ization to nothing more than a com- pany union. vu.

Thus, im last,, the im- ports exceeded ‘the exports by 22 mil- lion roubles and: ‘amounted to 54,600,- 006 roubles . The: increase falls main- ly on the import into the U. S. S.

Charles P. Irwin, pastor of the Wilmerding Pres: byterian church and a group of “citi- zens” from the ku klux klan control- led town of East McKeesport, Pa., has presented state cossack Teofil Cavaleski with a silver loving cup for murdering Michael Kraynik, a mach- inst who was employed at the West- inghouse Airbrake company. Cold Blooded Murder. On Feb. 22 a gang of cossacks en- tered a confectionery store in charge of Kraynik’s wife, and without show- ing a warrant began ransacking the place in search of liquor. Kraynik demanded that the cossacks leave his place as they had no lawful right in searching the store. During the argument which followed the cossack shot Kyraynik thru the head and he died instantly, The dead worker's wife, son and customer, who were in the store at the time, claim that there was no liquor found in the place and that the cossacks worked the old and often- used trick of planting one pop bottle of moonshiie which was presented as evidence. The trick was so raw that the steel trust police of Allegheny County were forced to arrest the cossack on the charge of murder, and he is at lib- erty after putting up $7,500 bail until his trial comes up. Belly Crawling Minister of God, Rev. Irwin, in his presentation speech at the state cossacks’ barracks at Greensburg, stated that the cos- sack was doing his duty when he shot the Westinghouse worker and com- mended him for his “fearless” action. | One of Kraynik’s fellow workers at the Westinghouse plant, in comment- ing on the preacher's action said, “It is simply another case of a sky pilot showing his true colors.” Corn and Other Crops Hard Hit by Cold Weather Virtually complete annihilation of the early tomato and bean crops and great damage to corn in the sections where the low temperatures struck over the week-end was forecast today following a preliminary survey by ag- ricultural agencies here. Damage, it was estimated, will run to hundreds of thousands of dollars. ‘Warnings of another frost were iapgen by the local weather. bureau, # . * Big piini In Indiana. INDIANAPOLIS, May 25.—Killing frosts of Saturday and Sunday nights took a heavy toll in Indiana crops, ac cording to scattered reports reaching the government weather bureau here today. A report from Warsaw stated frost early today caused thousands of dol- lars: loss in North Central Indiana, destroying scores of acres of vegeta- tion, chiefly tomatoes, onions, pota- toes and beans. Strawberries were hard hit and ev- en apple trees suffered considerably, according to the report, Arbitration in Many Different Styles; You May Take Your Choice BOSTON, Mass., May 25.—An over flowing mass meeting of the Boston Carmen’s Union unanimously reject- ed the proposal of the Boston Hlevat- ed Railway to substitute a board of “impartial” arbitrators for the long established method of arbitration by a board of three, with one direct rep- resentative from each side and a third arbitrator chosen by the two, The company proposed that each side submit the names of five “disin- terested” or “impartial” persons, not connected with the industry. From the five submitted by the company the men were to pick one arbitartor and from the five submitted by the men the company was to pick its choice, the two arbitartors to select a third. The union declares that it has more faith in its own direct representative than it would in an outsider, Japanese Troops Withdrawn MOSCOW, May 25.—An official cere- mony took place at Alexandrovsk, Northern Saghalien, when the Japan- ese ‘troops that are being withdrawn from the Soviet territory of the Island were relieved by the Red army de- tachment sent from Vladivostok.
