HEL , Ore. (By Mail).— ali? want to inform you of the condi- tions here and give you some infor- mation in regards to organizing. I | will write first some of the conditions. Wages here run from three dollars “land fifty cents to four dollars at the saw mill where I am working. There| re about 800 men employed and jaybe which is considered a good wage for this country now. The superintendent hires every day letting other men go who need the work badly. He says that by working them two weeks at a time he can get all they can do out of them. If a man is told to work overtime or Sundays and is for any reason unable to do so he is promptly fired the first thing Monday morning. This happens every Monday. The foreman takes a delight in letting a man off and hiring another. The country is overrun with un- employed and once you're out of work it certainly is hard to get any. The common wage in Portland is three dollars and twenty cents per eight hours and this applies to all paper mills and factories, excluding women workers whose wages are from two to three dollars, I have never seen less work for so long a time as at present and am satisfied that it will get no. better. I know of several families that are in want of food and clothes when the father is working every day. Wages are so low that it is almost impos- sible to make both ends meet. There isn’t any union except the | company union (The 4L’s) if you can call this a union. Everybody seems to be waiting for somebody else to come along and organize them. A fellow Communist and I have | started to organize them the best we jean. We have taken several lists of | contributions for the miners’ relief among them and have talked of the Workers Party and have the promise of a number to join. We feel we are doing well but need some literature as we are all out of copies of the DAILY WORKER. We would like to have about 25 copies of the paper and some other i ture to pass around among the ers. Please remember that the i west is ready to organize and that there isn’t any better time than the present. —C. M. Zoovetich, Monessen, Pa. \L. Proizenic, Monessen, Pa S. Fagatic, Monessen, Pa.. P.

TEXTILE WOMEN'S HOURS INCREASED On 48-Hour Law By THOMAS O’CONNOR (Federated Press). BOSTON, March 23.—Hard-boiled textile barons, owners of the Massa- chusetts senate, won another battle in their war to drive textile workers back to serfdom when senators voted to allow women and girls to work in the mills until 10 p. m. The present limit is 6 p. m. It is certain that the bill will knife the 48-hour law. Bosses would hiré women coming from a full shift at another mill for an extra half-shift from 6 to 10 p. m., thus rivalling the |south’s notorious 12-hour shift. The penalty for violation, set at $20 to $50, is ridiculously low. General Sweetser, state labor com- missioner, will have the say-so in the administration of the night work law Sweetser’s outstanding achievement in the field of labor and industries was his leadership of the national guard as it marched to the rescue of Lawrence mill owners in the 1919 strike. Textile interests, which have abso- lute control of the republican party of Massachusetts, have practically disfranchised workers in the import- ant textile centers of Lowell, Lawr- ence, Fall River and New Bedford, thus crippling their fight on the 10 ys m. bill in the legi@lature. The house committee on labor, hav- ing reported favorably on the bill | passed by the senate, is about to re- port on ancther bill to wipe out the 48-hour law. D. Morrison, Phoenix, Ariz . 38.00 W.

NEEDLE WORKERS IDLE AS PRISON GETS THEIR JOBS Jail Inmates to Make Flood Relief Clothes (By a Worker Correspondent.) LOS ANGELES, Calif., (By Mail). —An effort is being made here to utilize the county jail, a dungeon overflowing with at least 1600 in- mates, and an institution connected with many shady deals in the past. An afternoon paper says in part: “Hundreds of little babies must be clothed. There is a need for layettes |for new babies and for babies just a few months old. Sénd new outing flannel .in any quantity to the county jail, women’s department, care of the chief matron. Inmates will makes | Mill Ownele & Start Fight | layettes and hurry them to their des- tination, by which is meant the scene of the San Francisco dam disaster.” Mayor Cryer has announced that the city of Los Angeles will take care of all damages in connection with the collapse of the dam. But perhaps the few things owned by workers and poor farmers are not to be considered as “property” by the mayor. A great many clothing workers are idle. Why doesn’t mayor Cryer put union men at work on the job making baby clothes for the victims of this catastrophe for which the Municipal Bureau of Water and Power has been blamed by prominent engineers, geologists etc. What is the difference between scab made and prison made goods anyhow? The Union Label depart- ment of the A. F. of L. ought to be able to answer that question. The local Central Labor Council, however, seems to be more interested in the expulsion of Communists than it is in. seabbing outside, as well as on the inside, of prison walls. —L. P. RINDAL. Injunction Against Workers Dismissed BOSTON, March 28.—The injunc- tion. against anti-strike injunction taken out by S. H, Knopf and the Burton Manufacturing Company of Boston and Quincy, Mass., respec- tively, against Local 267 of the Amal- gamated Clothing Workers’ Union, was dismissed in the Boston Superior Court yesterday, when the union at- torneys proved that both firms were owned by the same corporation. The S. H. Knopf Company, which had an agreement with the union, was try- ing to establish the latter firm on a non-union basis, thereby violating their contract with the union.

DENVER, Colo. (By Mail).— The state auditor has just inform- ed the citizens of Colorado that keeping the state militia and po- lice in the strike area during the) recent coal strike will cost them over $200,000. The raids and wholesale arrests and above all ‘ the bloody massacre at the Colum- bine mine prove that these capi- talist watchdogs did not shrink) from their “duty” and had to be) | well paid. | —H.

An unemployed conference was held Saturday, March 17, at Webster | Hall, 19 E. 11th St. Two hundred and }fifty individuals, one hundred and eleven of whom were delegates, were |present. Seyventy-six organizations were represented. The conference was called by the New York Council of the Unemployed for the purpose of considering ways and means to raise relief for the un- employed workers, Scott Nearing was the principal speaker. “This is the eighteenth period of hard times in the country,” Nearing told the conference, “the on- ly way to overcome unemployment is to overcome capitalism.” The Workers’ International Relief was endorsed by the conference. A resolution, presented by William Weinstone, district organizer of the Workers’ Party, was unanimously adopted. A resolution treating the specific problems of young workers. was also adopted. Offices were filled and committees elected so that the unemployed workers will not be lost sight of by the workers who as yet 1ave jobs, and so that plans for action which were adopted by the conference will be followed by action. —G.
