TOPEKA, Kansas, July 7—During the open shop’drive and intermittent- ly ever since the Waily papers of Topeka have been telling about those princely wages received by the workers. Some of these articles are speeches of employers that have been given at the chamber of commerce or some other meeting and some are editorials written by the editors of the papers. These articles generally give as some of the seasonable workers as the brick layers or plasterers, an unfair example of the wages of la- bor because the average factory labor- er does not get half those wages, and if you count in aff faborers both em- ployed and unemployed, they won't average one-fourth that much. Even the brick fayers and plaster- ers would be glati/to} work for half the wages they get “ff they could get steady work and in their own town where they could ‘be with their ‘fam- ilies. Their work is a seasonable job. Their employment.is such ‘that | the weather prohibits, them working months each year, By the division of labor they, can’t work until the building has reached a certain stage even in season, Then at times there is no construction work. Their work is generally away in another town so’ they are out trans- portation to get to their work and | must pay board and reom while there | as well as. maintain their own home. Talk with any of them and you. will find it takes all they can get to.keep. up expenses. Jobs on Side to Stretch Pay. Go into any of the working sec- tions of Topeka, such.as.. Oakland, Park Dale or North Topeka,.and talk with the working people and you will find that they could not live on the wages they get if it. was not for the fact that they carry on side lines to stretch their pay check, If you will look at the -homes of these people you will find they have their garden to save buying vegetables. Some. even have vegetables planted in the park- ing. Some repair autos evenings.and Sundays. Many of their wives do sewing or other work.to help out,and hundreds of young men and women in their teens who should be in school, work in the packing houses and stores. and factories, to increase dad’s pa; check and make it.go round, Psychology of Advertising. I drew a book from the city library: entitled, The Psychology of Advertis- ing. The first principle laid. down in this book for successful advertising and successful salesmanship was. that we should learn what was the. sincere wish of the customer and,thep. try to show them that the purchase of your goods will help to fulfill that wish. The book explained that every- one has some sinsere wish) some | sire that they want to see fulfilled. Now then, if we want to know Wh the editors think about the labore wages, let us study ‘the adyertise- ments. The majority of the people’ in Topeka are working people 86 any ad. for the daily papers will generally be meant for the working people. ‘We find such ads as this upon examina- tion: Fire sale, special. sale, clear- ance sale, dollar day, acorn day, money: raising. sale,,odd pants sale, end season sale, one cent sale, bank- rupt sale. .

All these ads. carry the impression that you are getting something for Jess than its real value. These ads. jstow that the editor .believes that the sincere wish of the laborer is to find a way to make his pay check go |,round. They show that he thinks that the worker isn’t getting enough wag- @s. to buy all the things that he needs unless he can get some of them for less than their real value. Now, let us examine some other Magazines and see how the advertise- ments are written when aimed for a different class of people. Aw I went home..one evening, I saw a magazine rop, off of a truck wagon into the itrget ahead of me. When I came up to. it I got out and picked it up. It was printed on Fifth Avenue, New .York, and was intended for people with liberal incomes. There were all |, tinds of advertisements from collar buttons to autos, but not a word about cheapness. They appealed to the quality of their goods, to the artistic design and to the exclusiveness, only a limited number could be had, etc. Advertisements Give the tie. The advertisements in the daily pa- pers show that the editors do not be- lieve what they write about the princely wages of labor, but that they do know that the average worker is not even getting a decent living wage.

MILWAUKEE, Wis., July 7,—The plastérers’ association of Milwaukee made an attack on’ wages of the plas- |ter laborérs ‘by an action to reduce their present ‘wage of 90 cents to 80 cents per hour. This move by the bosses has taken place during the month of Jutie, and a “new wage scale” ig to be effective on July 1. Mason helpers and concrete helpers realize the danger of this action of the bosses, that they will be “treated” the same, and were arraigned to solid determination to,:make the fight of plaster. helpers their common fight.. Not.only that, but also to de- mand incre: of their wage which is now 75 cents.an hour to 90 cents (what plaster laborers are now get- ting.) The cut was .to be effective July workers, above men- tioned heard of.the bosses action, they laid down their tools. When the bosses saw this they began inquiring: “What's the matter, boys, ain’t you going to work?” Reply was: “No, if we don’t know what we are going to work for,” and “we don't accept no wage cut!” There was nothing else to be done but tell the men to go to work under the old scale for the extention of time for two weeks, pending an arbitration with union heads, Of this action of the employer, In- ternational office was notified, and it sent its representative to Milwaukee, third vice-president, and his instruc- tion to the}jinion was to solve this problem tht¥ arbitration if possible. To this ah wrote a letter back to the uniog, after reporting to the executive bdard of the Intgrnational also with ingtructions that the union give their dmhmittee full power to act as arbitrator with employers. Decision of the last meeting was to call a special meeting for Friday, July 10, when it will be decided what power execufive board will have, and also, get their instruction, as to the wage scale, conditions and so on. When the question came up to call a special meeting’ at which the execu- tive committee is to be empowered to act, many questions were put forward as how will the executive committee be given instriictions, how shall they act, what théy*havete: do and what they may do for the membership, con cerning the wage slash. The splendid. spirit that-has been shown at the last,meeting indicates that no flinching of anybody and no excuse will be tolerated. The outcome of the situation we would not fore- cast, but we say that this is a most opportune time to fight the bosses. Militant members can only support the demand of no wi cut, but in- créase from.75 to 90 cents an hour. Don’t forget special meeting Friday, July 10, to decide on what are your demands. Act as committee of one and bring to the meeting every member you can. It concerns your bread and butter. A New Stock of Good Books _ JUST RECEIVED!

JUNIOR GROUPS OF UNIT CHI COLUN 2 LEAGUE TO HOLD SUMMER CAMP IN CHICAGO The working class child livés in blade of grass. In the summer time| during the hot, uncomfortable days | the child of the worker runs around on the streets of the city, a victim of capitalist machines, or what is still! worse is placed into production dur-| ing his vacation to help support the family. In either case a prey of cap- italist society. Juniors Teach Class Interests, The Junior Groups of the Young Workers League realize this. That is why we are organized. We teach the children td fight the capitalists, we prove to them by example that their parents are being robbed by. the thieves who are non-essential to so- ciety, parasites who live on the toil of the workers. We try to make} fighters of these children, class con- scious fighters that will help break the chains of capitalism, To Hold Summer Camp, In accordance with this we want to teach the children to develop their own resources, to become stronger mentally and physically. We want them to grow up to be sturdy men and women, stronger fighters for the cause of the workers, In line with this Canada Signs Trade Agreement with the West Indies Isles granted.

This strong statement is made on the au- |thority of Richard H. Lansburgh, sec- \retary of the department of labor and industry, His exact language occurs jin the monthly publication of his de- parament, as follows: “In most communities of the state, local police pay no attention whatso- }ever to the enforcement of the child labor act.” And this is one of the rea- sons why the law is so poorly enfore- ed, he finds. Turn Homes Into Sweat Shops. Child labor, while decreasing in the factories, has been gaining more diffi- culties in the utilization of children within the factory walls they have “deemed it profitable to prey upon the economic necessity and old world characteristics of portions of the community by turning homes into sweat shops where little children are. employed early in the morning, late at |night, and on Saturday.” | Thousands of children in addition go from Philadelphia to New Jersey jtruck farms and cranberry bogs | where they work from May to Novem- |ber, losing months of school annually. There is no national child labor law affecting interstate relations, and the Pennsylvania statute cannot be used in New Jersey. Lansburgh says |something is being done in checking the migration by way of employment joffices in Pennsylvania but the results jare inadequate, Our Readers’ Views Two Cas for The International Labor Defense. To the DAILY WORKER:—Mike Dumbrosky, Fort Madison Prison, Towa, No. 12595; also Joe Drazich No. 11761, This man Mike Dumbrosky was a member of the Workers Party. I can’t recall what local he joined in Chicago: The court knowing this, the machinery of the court was set in mo- tion, to convict him with purely cir- cumstantial evidence, in spite of the fact that.he was ignorant of anything whatever. concerning this case, or... having any acquaintance with this man Schroeder, The cyvoked up story is thatthey met in the depot. An officer of the law saw Schroeder talking to Dumbrosky and Dumbrosky was held as* ‘an accomplice of Schroeder. Schroeder made a denial that this man* Dumbrosky had anything to do with or knew anything at all about what was in the suitcase and he was thrown into jail, A lawyer whose’ name is Carl Jor- dan in the city of Cedar Rapids, had taken his case, also the case of Schroeder that paid him $750 with the | understanding that the case would be appealed to the supreme court. But nothing came out of this, except the statement by the lawyer that he with- ~| drew his appeal to the supreme court | because he was sure the parole would operate upon his release. To be exact he had the understand- ing that he would get out in eleven months, it has been two years, and no action hes been taken in his be halt. The other man, Joe Drazich, was a member of the Carpenters’ union of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, He held some Office in this union, I believe he was secretary. They discovered in the |meantime while holding this office j that he: also was a member of the Workers Party and, as there is much Prejudice in this state against. such members there was no difficulty in se- curing his indictment, To be indicted is equivalent to conviction We hope the Labor Defense Coun- cil will look into these cases and remedy if possible, the unfortunate conditions of these two men, and will work for repeal of this law, which brings about such hardship for mem- bera of the Workers Party. 1 have stated these cases correctly as possi- ble. I am depending upon memory as I have no notes. You may find in the court of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, the exact record of the case. To my judgment they were railroaded to prison, Yours fraternally, Wm, Dan dridge. TITTLE ILI INFORMATION WANTED ! About Jacques Margolis Born in Johannesburg, So.
