The Post is one of the worst enemi of the workers in the country both in} | | what it prints and the way it treats | the workers. It is owned by C, K. ‘Curtis, the owner of the Saturday Evening Post. I have been working here for many years, but have never gotten a raise of one penny, and I ould stay there forever and still get $23 a week, The porters in New York have no union. They are unskilled workers, and there are hundreds out for each job. They work me like hell on the N. Y. Post, and they often make us work overtime without extra pay. They often make the porters work on Sunday at straight pay instead of time and a half. You know what a porter does. He mops, sweeps, cleans !up, and polishes and carries whatever | he is ordered from one place to an- | other. This is simple work, but it is |hard and tiring. There is no union for porters, and so they cannot pro- |tect themselves. That is why they get wages from $18 to $25 a week, | but never more than that. —A PORTER. | but at all political groups who might | have attempted, consciously or other- to exploit the occasion.

New England, like all industrial na held | What’s the reason the stoppage took’ sections of the country, is in the grip of unemployment. The bleak mill towns are smothered under the dis- mal pall of the miseries that are common to the great evil of this pro- fit system, The homes of the mill hands are desolate. Wherever one turns the jobless, penniless, ill-clad and ill-fed are conspicuous. And in the face of this advancing specter of unemployment the official labor movement of this section has hesi- tated until they could no longer af- ford to ignore the demands of a hand- ful of militants who have been clam- oring upon the floor of the Boston Central Labor Union for action. Fakers Sneer at Workers’ Needs. True ‘to their narrow, selfish craft and individual interests, the labor kers of the Boston C. L. U., which is the largest central labor body in New England, have replied ‘with sneers and contempt to the cry of the masses of jobless workers and have refused to heed the complaints of the rank and file of even their own Only after threats of of the Slave Auction, men for sale upon the auction block on Boston Commons in 1921, and the public announcement of the | American Federation of Labor that there are about twenty per cent of union members unemployed in Bos- ton alone, did the fakers show any signs of concern. Sam. Winokur, a young militant paperhanger, challenged the fakers by offering the left wing program for the solution of the unemployment mendce amongst which were the fol- lowing points: A shorter work day, a state fund for the unemployed cre- ated by taxing the industrial barons, cessation of eviction of unemployed workers for non-payment of rent, or- ganization of the unorganized, work or pay at union rates of wages, etc. As a concession to this challenge the executive board of the Central Labor Union in conjunction with the board of control of the Boston Trade Union College, which is controlled by the Central Labor Union, have de- cided to have an all-day session to “solve” the problem of unemploy- ment on Sunday, March 4, at Wells Memorial Hall. The complete bank- ruptcy of these labor mis-leaders is so glaring that even a blind man can see thru their treachery. There is no program of action to meet the ter- rible scourge that blights the labor movement. There is no call to the masses for organized (or any other sort of) action to meet an immedi- ate problem, nor is there so much as a hint that this conference is going to accomplish anything accepting that it will be used as an alibi by the labor fakers when they are under fire for their gross betrayal and in- competency. Militants to Act. This conference must be attended by all militant workers of Massa- chusetts in order to compel the fak- ers either to put up or shut up. If left to these so-called leaders, this conference will be a miscarriage. The conference will deal with only two questions: One—“What is the problem” and two—“What solutions are offered.” | Newspaper Says Striking Miner, (By a Worker Correspondent.)

This scant fake agenda reveals the insincerity and bankruptcy of these leaders. They know the pro- blem very well—if they don’t they can take a few minutes of their time for which the unemployed union men and women pay them in fat salaries and step into the homes of the rank and file of their union members. Instead of meet- ing the problem honestly they turn to the capitalist class for light on the problem. Not only do they turn to the most hated enemies of labor for an answer to their first question, but they also seek the solution for unemployment from the same enemies.

JERSEY CITY, (By Mail).—I read in The DAILY WORKER the other day that Theodore Brandle, the presi- dent of the building trades council of New Jersey had received a fat job from the bosses as head of the New | Jersey Iron League. This Iron League }is composed of iron bosses in this | state, and it was no surprise to many |of vs workers in the building trades in New Jersey to learn that Brandle, who has always played the ‘bosses’ | game even while holding the many of- ficial labor positions in the organized labor movement, had finally decided to come out openly for the bosses. The Iron League is composed of companies which have been fighting the Ornamental and Architectural Tron Workers’ Union for years. At one of these iron compaaies in Jer- sey City, the Sneed Iron Works, a union worker was killed by a scab last year while picketing against this open shop. That’s the kind of people, Brandle to aid them, as head of the er, is now openly tied up with. As a building trade laborer in Jer- sey City, I have had a good oppor- | tunity to learn some things about this | Brandle. Whenever the housewreck- ers’ Union in this city needed any help against the bosses, and they went to Brandle to aid them, a shead of the Building Trades Council, he always talked against us and for the bosses. The bankers and manufacturew; were always his best friends, even tho he is a “labor” leader. Brandle has often appeared at din- ners and banquets of the business men, where he would always pat the bosses on the back and talk about the “harmony between labor and capital.” When the cornerstone of the new Labor Bank in Journal Square was laid recently, all the lead- ing politicians, “democratic and re- publicans were there, and spoke very kind words about Brandle. He, too, and bankers who were there. Why, Brandle is himself the owner of a big insurance business. When- ever'a banker or business man came to see him at his office, he would welcome him with open arms. “But whenever a union representative of the building trades came on union business, Brandle would make him wait a long time and then often re- fuse fo see him at all. —AN IRON WORKER.

The local premiere will take place at the Cameo Theatre, about March 10. The National Board of Review of Motion Pictures viewed “Czar Ivan the Terrible” and passed it as the most exceptional photoplay ever pro- duced, Wilton A. Barrett, executive | secretary of the national board, de- | clared: “To me, ‘Czar Ivan the Ter-} rible,” is greater than even ‘Potem- kin.’ It is impossible to mention an-| other picture alongside of ‘Czar! Ivan.’” | The European success of this pic- ture has equalled that of “Potemkin.” | In Berlin the picture over-shadowed every, other event of the cinema year, and in Paris, where “Potemkin” was barred because of its Bolshevistic propaganda, “Czar Ivan the Terrible,” has been a tremendous success.
