DENTAL WORKERS TOIL LONG AND GET SMALL PAY Workers Need Union in Worst Way By JACK RUSSELL. (Worker Correspondent) A young man starting in as an ap- prentice in mechanical dentistry must bear a heavy burden of which long hours, abuse from the boss and low wages are but a part. In order to become a good mechanic he must glave at low pay for five or six years. When he has reached the stage where he is a fair mechanic, the boss gives him a little more consideration, but he is still treated as a slave and suf- fers abuse from the boss. This is what a large number of men must put up with every day in the large cities of this country. Overtime Without Pay. Professional mechanics and those in the amateur field are compelled to work overtime without receiving any overtime pay. There are a few places where the. workers in this field do get overtime—because they are milit- ant and force the boss to recognize that he must pay for their services— but those places are few and far be- tween, The mechanical dentists are put to work at such hours that there is no time for social recreation and pleas- ures in common with other. workers. The mechanical dentistry workers start at different hours from the work- ers in the same establishment. _ Bosses Organized Most of the mechanical dentistry laboratories belong to, the Dental La- boratory Manufacturers’ Association and if.one of the companies belong- ing to this association discharges one of its workers, that worker is black- listed. If wants to get a job in an office, regardless of how iarge or how small it may be, he is refused work until the association decides to allow him to be put on. If he applies for work under an assumed name, he is told to wait a week or two and all his references are checked up and at- tempts are made to have him fully identified. If a worker is offered a higher wage in another laboratory and he leaves the employ of one boss to enter the employ of the other boss, if the boss that he works for and the boss he is going to work for are in the association, he finds himself walking the streets minus his master and on the blacklist of the association. Then the worker is offered an opportunity by his former employer to go back to work at a.cut in pay. If he refuses, that ends his role as a worker in the mechanical dental laboratories. Often- times a worker is framed-up in this manner in order that his wage may be cut. “Correct” With Blows. Many workers are abused by the bosses. In the Central Dental Labor- ratory, the bosses ‘“‘correct” workers with a blow on the face or any other part of the body. Many times workers are beaten and then discharged. After a week or so, the boss rehires him at sometimes the same pay but mostly at a much lower pay. a Mechanical dentistry workers! Or- ganize and force the bosses to pay higher wages, to give us shorter hours and to stop treating us as tho they owned us body and ‘soul! In Minneapolis, workers are com- pelled to work from 11 to 14 hours per day on both day and night shifts for a small hourly wage. The firm in Minneapolis is owned by the Central Dental Laboratories of Chicago, Workers, Unionize! Workers, you are the producers of big profits for your bosses. Your health is always in danger.

The Youth and the Foreign-Born Workers By STEVE ZINICH, Editor Radnik. Te main task of the Young Workers (Communist) League is the enrolling of the working youth in the class struggle of this country. The best of- fense and defense of the particular interests of the entire working class and the young workers in. particular are to combine these strug- gles for the immediate demands on the one hand and our final aim, the abolition of*capitalism, the establishment of the dictatorship of the proletariat and the ushering in of the Communist society, on the other hand. An important task for our Communist youth fs the con- ducting of our agitation and propaganda, coupled with’ the organization of actions right in the field of production, in q the factories, mines, on the land, etc, Large masses of the ; youth are forced to enter the industries at an early age and - i" form. the most exploited, the most disfranchised section of i the working class. . In close connection with this problem we have another® © one. Over 60 per cent of the entire working class in America are "so-called foreign-born workers. Historically all workers -in- America are more or less foreign-born, because all of them jiaye come from Europe and other lands. The real Americans ett. the picture of American life as a large compact group a. _ long time ago. They are the American Indians, most of whom were crushed by the brutality of the slave owners and the rising bourgeoisie. They would not. submit to becoming the slaves of the white invaders and so, were slaughtered by the hundreds of thotsands. Divisions in the social structure of this country cannot be realistically determined by setting up the epithet: foreign-born vs. natives. The basic division in this social structure is:the working class on the one hand and the exploiting capitalist class on the other, Between these two classes a deep rooted struggle is going on (strikes, lockouts, political actions, ete.) This is called the class struggle. An effective weapon of the capitalist class in this struggle {s {ts strongly built educational machine. This machine extends its tenacles thru the schools, churches, sporting clubs, and all kinds of capitalist {natitutfons. The educational campaign is often labelled: Americanization of the foreign-born. There are many instances in the class struggle where the young foreign-born worker is lined up against his own father and class brother, because his father is a militant class fighter and his own child was educated against him with a capitalist outlook. Our duties in this situation are very clear. We must approsch these young workers, foreign-born, native-born and children of foreign-born work ers and educate them, organize them to the banner of the Young Workers (Communist) League and the Young Pioneers. Every member of the Workers (Communist) Party of America ts obliged to do all he can to help organize the young workers and the working class children. . Every worker, instead of-sending his children to church, to the church’ Sunday school, etc., should instead send them to the units of the Young Communists... In this respect not only have the foreign 1: frac- ' tions of the party a great task, but the foreign-born comrades in the nuclei and other units of the party must.take the initiative in having comrades elected whose duty it will be to organize Young Communist units parallel r with the party units where none exist. a q We must take the initiative in putting to the fore the slogan: For every party shop nucleus a nucleus of the league. For every league nucleus, a ‘ unit of the Young Pioneers, = The place of the youth of the foreign-born workers fs not in the fascist and semi-fascist organizations, but their place is in the ranks of the Com- munist youth and children. 4 Foreign-born workers, do your class duty!
