SLAVES DRIVEN 11 HOURS A DAY Workers (By a Worker Correspondent) CHICAGO, Ill. (By Mail). — The Bunge Coal Co. of Chicago, person- lly managed by A. J. Bunge, an iron- fisted capitalist of the old school and reputed to be the largest independent coal dealer in this city, owning six big yards, makes huge profits every year out of the most merciless ex- ploitation gf its employes. 11-Hour Day. would be hard to find another , even im this town, which could at the Bunge company for treat- nent meted out to its workers. The vorking day a nominally 10 hours, jbut is usually} nearer 11. The day starts at 6 a. m. with 30 minutes for lunch. The men are supposed to quit }at’ 5,380 but there is no end to the lovertime, paid for, in the case of the eommon laborers, at straight time. Fifty-five cents is the wage for coal shovelers and eighty-one cents for truck drivers with _ninety-one cents for overtime. There are any number of bosses to watch every move of every worker end see that there is never any let- up in the endless shoveling of coal. Spotters and spies are sent out with almost every delivery order of size to see that not a minute is lost in unloading. The latest wrinkle is for every truck driver to be assigned a time card which he must have punched by the customer for whom delivery is being made at the exact moment of arrival and agdin on leav- ing to return to the yards. You are put on a time allowance according to the distance you have to drive and the size of your load, and if you re- | turn later than the time allowed, you: will hear aplenty about it.- If you happen to work one half hour over- time, no pay is given you. The full hours cnly are counted. The working week consists of 60 hours, but nearly every night there is overtime ‘work for more than an hour. No Water to Drink. Not even a water supply is fur- nished the workers and Bunge him- self-has been known to allow the workers to get water only with the greatest reluctance. Any worker daring to make the least protest Fagauist the’ inhuman conditions pre- vailing is instantly singled out and discharged. Wardly any man of over 85 is ever hired. They have to be young to stand Bunge’s pace. The laborers have to pay $25 -to join with dues of two dollars a month, the union being No. 701, Chicago, for the coal heavers ‘and No, 704 for the chauffeurs or truck drivers, The union dees absolutely nothing about |the conditions and the Chicago Fed- eration of Labor might as well be a million miles away for the interest | they take in the members. The dues, however, are always collected regu- larly . . One man, an old employe, had a bad accident a number of years ago and Bunge persuaded him that, in- stead of paying a lump sum of money, he would give him a life-time “easy job” as soon as he got better. Sev- eral months ago this life-time slave, no longer able to keep up the pace and speed-up, was fired by Bunge after working for 38 years. And he had worked hard all that time. —COAL WORKER.

M. C. came to town. This has occurred despite all the city au- thorities have done with the aid of the officials of the American Federa- tion of Textile Operatives and_ the United Textile Workers Union. The call for membership in the Tex- tile Mills Committee declares in part: “The old wage scale must come back! No compromise, Every worker must_organize and be prepared tc wipe out these wage cuts. Only the T.'M. C.-comes with a fighting plan to the workers. The A. F. T. O. offi- cials Tansy &Co., do everything in their power -to prevent a strike. The U. T.
