1000 WORKER CORRESPONDENTS. ‘BY JANUARY 13 1927 THE DAILY’ WORKER Page Five — —— EN —————————— ——————— ———_ COMPENSATION LAW LITTLE AID TO THE WORKERS Boss and “Board Work Hand in Glove By M. ZITTEL, (Worker Correspondent) | SAGINAW, Mich., Feb,°10—While working for the Saginaw Cabinet com- pany I was ruptured. The ‘company Manager sent me to the company doc- tor for an examination. The doctor told me I had a rupture and‘that the only ‘way to cure it- was thru an’ op- eration, After I had been operated on and had -been in the Saginaw General'Hos- pital three weeks the doctor ordered me into’a wheelchair. Aftera few hours, I had to go back to bed and stay there for two weeks mone with a swollen leg. Offer “Light” Work. After two weeks, he took me home and ‘at home I had to’ stay thriteen more weeks in bed. After that I was able to sit up about two to three hours a day and after nine months I was ‘@ble to walk about seven or eight blocks. After this short walk my legs would swell like a rubber-balloon and as soon as the insurance company found out that I could get that short distance they stopped paying me com- pensation and arranged with my em- Ployers to give light work—a job at which I could sit down. Commissioner Aids Bosses. I did not want to accept the offer, 80 they brot me into a court before the labor commissioner from Lansing, Michigan, and gave me a hearing. The labor commisisoner said: “Well, Mr. Zittel, if you are able to walk seven or eight blocks you are able to go back to your job. What the Saginaw Cabinet company offers you is light work and a job to sit down. If you don’t take that offer you will be out of your compensation and also out of that job they now offer you,” So I took the job and went to work with a swollen leg. Everything went fine for-about six months, After that they wanted to put me on piece-work for a starving wage. I flatly refused. So they laid me off and sent me home, Now I am at home—an invalid with @ swollen leg—with no job, and no compensation. The employers of Michigan have got it so that they can cripple up @ man and get away with- out paying for it. The easy job they offer you is a trick to get you back to work in the shop and then get rid of you in one way or another no matter how hard you may work. The Saginaw Cabinet company makes radio and phonograph cabinets and before Christmas they were run- ming ten to eleven hours a day and fn some departments seven days a week, After New Years day they had reduced the working force 33 per cent and put in the piece-work system. Now they must work ag the crazy to make $4.50 a day. If old Saginaw had no slavery before, they certainly have it now. Building Laborers Joining the Union at Warren, Ohio By a Worker Correspondent WARREN, 0., Feb, 10 — An effort to organize the building trades’ labor- ers, is being made in Warren and judging by the results of a recent meeting good progress is being made. for workers are in a very encouraging way. : The common laborers in the mills here in this valley are not organized and the highly skilled iron and steel workers pay but little attention to them and “if they are to demand a living ‘wage it is up to the workers who labor long hours in the mills to get busy and organize themselves into a union of laborers and thus be in a position to demand their rights.

It needs no furthen, recommendation, Who will be the hard workers next week? By NELLIE HALPERIN. Worker Correspondent. VERY thinking clothing worker knows;that we cannot stop. the in- troduction of. machinery in the cloth: ing industry,.any more than in any other industry, Tt is the duty of the union deputy to see to it that whenever machinery is introduced, the workers’ conditions should at least remain the same, if not become better than they formerly were. We all know that the introduc- tion and perfection of machinery in- creases the productivity of labor. In the present society the boss derives the full benefit of the increased pro- duction. The reactionary union offi- cialdom give the bosses a free hand in increasing exploitation by their class collaboration policy. About a’year and a half ago the bosses ~ introduced machines in the pressers’ section of Hart, Schaffner & Marx, Factory C. Formerly, by hand, the standard was 12 coats in eight hour's. At present, by machine, they are compelled to press 18 coats in eight “hours. this number their wages are docked. In some lines of production the ma- chine will produce the work faster, but in the pressers’ line it takes prac- tically the same amount of time, be- cause they want the coats well press- ed, so the workers have to rush all day long to finish their full amount of work, This rate was, accepted after the boss had chosen an examiner, “pace maker” andthe number of coats he could press in an hour, became. the Speed-ap System in Factory C, Hart, Schaffner and Marx Co. | | If they don’t. produce } : Our Need—A Fighting Amalgamated! In the near standard of production in the press- ers’ section. The union representa- tive, Brother Izovitch, did not object to these speed-up rates. He accepted them without any protest. The union officials must see that when a boss puts out his own representative it will naturally be to the boss’ own bene- fit. The union deputy should look in- to the matter and keep the bosses from getting these enormous profits thru greater exploitation of the work- ers, The pressers in factory C suffer a great deal. They only work from 4 to 5 hours a day, because of the increase in production. They make on an aver- age of $15 to $20 a week; in the slow season they make even less, The pressers in Factory C had a very great loss in their standard of living a@ raise in wages is a cut in wages. ‘because a raise in production without When the workers are forced to speed, to rush all day long, their health Wears down in a very short time. Every tailor knows how bad it is in our industry. Many tailors are forced to apply for help in charitable institutions, where- as the manufacturers are getting rich- er every day. And the speed-up sys- tem increases the army of unemploy- ed in our industry. We must call a halt to the manufac- turers as well as to the union official- dom,,.and demand the correction of such anbearable conditions. Class col- laboration brings us to degradation. Let us have a program based on class struggle. Only then will we get the better’ things of life. : By S.

It is not too early to begin sending in this material. Women today reentage of the workers in almost every Industry. Eight million women are employed In industry in the United States. They are a big factor in many trade unions. The wives of workers have organized auxiliaries to many trade unions.

A recent. example of such deals could be seen by the following occurrence in our section, How Officials Betray Workers. Not long ago our section, lining basting, ,was informed by the firm that additional work had been added to our section operation. The work added to this operation is worth 3 cents, while the price pald was 1% cent, This arrangement was made be- tween Reichler for the firm and the business agent, Mike D. E. Novi, with- out the knowledge of the workers in the section. The entire section refused to do the additional Work for this price. They felt that the firm was putting something ‘over on them.

California, heralded by its ruling class as the “golden state” is in reatity the blackest state in the union for the workers. California Is universally notorious for its brutal persecution of labor. It Is the golden state of the open shop and the frame-up. The con- spiracy against Mooney and Bill- ings; the jailing of scores of 1.

STEEL TRUST DECLARES HUGE TOLL OF PROFITS 1925 Profits Greatest Since War Time Profits, profits and more profits. Each day the financial sections of the press are filled with corporation state- ments for 1925 which belie the claim that profit margins are narrowing. If 1925 profits are narrow, nothing short of excess war profits, will satisfy the voracious profiteers. U. S. Steel is just out with its state- ment showing a profit of $42,280,465 for the last 3 months of 1925. This brings the year’s profit of Gary’s trust to $165,188,090. Outside of the 3 years 1916-1918, in which the war gave the steel barons an unexampled oppor- tunity to rook their fellow citizens, 1925 profits have been exceeded only twice in the corporation’s history. $12.82 in Watered Stock. The 1925 profit means a return of jobs and the membership is being ter- orized in one way or another, Need Fighting Amalgamated. What we need is a good, strong, healthy, fighting union.

CASUAL REVIEWS A review this time, not of a }ok,| but of a condition. in a bad shape, Not even its most) ardent supporters can deny this. Ahd| yet how many fellow workers realize} why the assertion is true. The other day a fellow worker remarked to me} that he thot the Industrial Unionist, official organ of the Emergencyites, a better edited paper than either the}! Industrial Worker or Industrial Soli- | darity. “Somehow it seems to read with more of a punch,” he finished. And he was right; it does; and the reason why it does is very simple. The leaders of the E. P. are anarche- syndicalists pure and simple... They know what they want, and are united on the policy to pursue in getting tt. Hence every article in their paper harmonizes as to thot and tactic with every other article published: The re- sult is to give the reader a feeling'of unity, of oneness, so sorely lacking in} his own two publications; Unity on a Wrong Theory. The significant fact that this sensed’ unity reflects merely the determina- tion of the E. P. leaders to build up an organization based more loosely on anarchist philosophy and local auton- omy, than along the lines of one big industrial union highly centralized so} as to conform to the evolution of. in- dustry itself, escapes the majority of) E, P, readers. An impression of sol-| idarity, of unity, is given then, by leaders acting as one man to achieve @ certain thing, regardless of how} weak in itself the thing they seek to achieve may be. For the same reason inverted, the official papers of 3333 Belmont give an impression of disunity. , The Belmont leaders do NOT know what they want. | They visualize themselves as between the devil and the deep sea, «To veer on the side of industrial. unionism pure and simple will inevitably bring them into working harmony with the Communists; brings them into the ranks of the E. P. Middle Course Impossible, Some fellow workers will doubtless retort that they will adopt 4 middie course, veering neither to ‘right nor left; but as I have poihted out the middle path is the path of hesitation, of indecision.“ To follow it very far can only lead to further losses in membership. True, the Marine Trans- port Workers’ Union is looking up; but only because it has adopted the correct Marxian attitude toward other | transport unions not seeing politically | or industrially eye to eye with them. | Its salvation lies in pursuing this cor- rect tactic. The leaders of the I. W. W. as a| whole must be brot to realize that) the middle path is the path of liqui- dation for their organization. The pol-| icy of isolation now can benefit no | one but the bosses. To veer to the ranks of the E. P. can but sthrow thousands of trusting workers into the ranks of the anarcho-syndicalists—in- | to the ranks of potential counter-revo- lutionists, The Hopeful Road to Power. On the other hand, they can throw overboard their anarcho-syndicalist tendencies, become Marxians in real- ity, and help write revolutionary his-) tory with no. uncertain hand. I do not | disguise it. Such a course will bring them more and more into harmony with the Workers (Communist) Party, whom the Emergencyites allude to ay “Marxian devotees.” But such action will drive the present chaos and un- certainty from their ranks, will) breathe new life’ and strength into their papers, wifl build the pnions that are predominantly I. W. W. into mass! bodies numbering thousands—nay, 1924 tho the company did about $30,- 000,000 less business. In other words the workers are, getting a smaller share of the money the public pays for their products. Bethlehem Pays 16%. The return per share on common stock is reckoned at $5.30, But this understates the return on original in- vestment, In 1917 Bethlehem Steel declared a 200%. stock dividend to cover up the excessive profits of the war period. Thef1916 profit was at the rate of 146% on capital stock. The profits of the 3 years 1916-1918 totaled 8 times the par value of the capital stock in 1916, Reckoned on the original invest- ment the 1925 profit means a return of nearly 16%.

After locating on a site two miles away from the town pump, which | showed a flow of oil, according to the | |tales of Townley’s confederates, he | built a crew operating for oil. This made things look better, Then Townley sent out a staff of his men all of whom were his organizers | in the old league days to catch the suckers, They were familiar with all the farmers in the various districts, who still believed that Townley was on the square. The first question that these slickers put to the farmers was: “Do you believe in Townley?” If the answer was in the affirmative, then the farmer was loaded into car and taken to the “oil well’ at Robinson, If the reply was in the negative, the } paid agents of Townley left the farmer alone. “Faithful” Get In, The “faithful” were gathered” in the barracks, to which there is only | one entrance and that is heavily guarded.

C, Townley, one-time czar of the en engaged during the past six months in one of the most imaginary and fantastic oil schemes which the confidence It is an original method by which the farmers, who still have a personal faith in Townley, are fleeced of their hard earned money, Townley located himself as an oil-promoter last September near the town of Robinson, North Dakota. Soon after an old water well commenced His appearance upon + informs the farmers that he has got a “Doodle Bug,” which is a human being that discovers oil by the very simple process of being able to smell it or feel it, the moment that he walks over the ground, under which the oll is in existence. This fact was related to me by one of his operators, who maintained a very serious face while he was telling it to me. Townley declares to the farmers that by means of this “Doodle Bug,” he is in a position to make a sure As far as I could gather, outside of Town- ley, the only person who has seen this-marvelous “Doodle Bug” is Henry Tiegan of Minneapolis, the former secretary of Magnus Johnson, Hands Out Personal Notes, Townley tells his audience that he is in need of “the money.” He asks the farmers to stake him on his “Doodle Bug.” He tells them that in return for the money he will issue a personal note, which he says, “is not worth the paper that it is written on.” “But,” says Townley, “it is as good as putting your money in an I, V. A. bank.” “Now”, says Townley, “If we strike oil, then all of you will be millionaires with myself and my notes will be good. But if I lose then all of you lose.” Just how Townley can lose in a deal of this kind is not clear to any- one who can put two and two to- gether. According to Townleys’ agents, they have collected about $100,000 from the farmers on this proposition.

UNDER 1914 Wages Decrease in Many Factories By LELAND OLDS. (Federated Press Staff Correspondent) > A decrease from November of about ¥% of 1 per cent in employment and total wage payments is shown in the December report of the Massachusetts department of labor covering factory operations in the state, This leaves the level of employment 2 per, cent” above December 1924, but the previous year ended with an upward trend. Employment in Massachusetts is | still 8.3 per cent below December 1923 and more than 21 per cent short of the high mark attained during the war years. It is nearly 7 per cent Below the average for 1914. The outstanding break in employ- ment in December came in the boot and shoe industry which laid off 12 per cent of the workers employed in November. Altogether there were 21 industries reporting decreased em- ployment, 2 reporting no change, and 16 reporting slight gains, About two-thirds of the workers em- ployed during December were in plants on full-time schedules. This represents little change compafred with Novem- ber but a moderate gain compared with December 1924 when only 57.4 of the workers were on full-time. The average of weekly earnings was $24.82 as in November which com- pares with $24.23 in December 1924, Norway Exposes Canada Fraud, SASKATOON, Sask.—(FP)— Rev. D, A.
