Experien nome A new idea in hum for the treatment of crin me methods nals under apitalism is presented in the fol- Towing announcement, which cently appeared in the press relative to a proposed Cuban law “Criminals condemned to death Would be offered, under the law, & free choice between execution “ghd inoculation with cancer ‘Twelve years wou »e the legal period f, at the end of that t sur- Vived and h d he or se Would return to society purged of guilt and perhaps honored as a hero, heroi Capitalist society makes a man a ‘criminal, condemns him to death and then, with a gesture of generosity gives him life, liberty and cance’ Love, one of the initial stages of which is pictured above, develops, under capitalism, different symp- tems for rich and poor. For the worker who is tired out and has little time courtship is a fleeting and unsatisfactory joy. He may take a girl to Coney Island, hold her hand the scenic railway, make some smart cracks over a cob of corn, show her some affection in @ store entrance and if he has the price of a license, marry her. Once married he is too tired and hasn't che. time for other pleasures. The esult is that worrying over how to et enough shoes to go around rives away thoughts of affection. With the rich love is now wholly placed on a basis of statistics and efficiency. As in the case of apples ‘he highest price goes to the smooth- 23h and prettiest. The rich parasite ‘as as many wives as he can beg, Sorrow or steal, and a number of thow girls in direct ratio to his in- some for any given year. on Se aaa ‘ecording to the capitalist news- yeers_the marines have killed nough ¢f General Sandino’s troops | Nicaragua to make the world var look like a petting party. At “hel same time the newspapers say ‘andino never did have more than alf a dozen half-hearted followers, nyway. The laetest self-delusion n the part of the newspapers is in- by their announcement that am has fled the country. But he real\truth gleams through the vords of Coionel George Reynolds hanton, former chief of police of orto Rico and the Panama Canal ome, who served in the department f justice in Nicaragua. He says: “The natives down there come and go in the jungle on their marches, but they are part of the Prountry. The animals and birds pare accustomed to secing them | ‘around.

In the first place comes the speed-up of labor. One man is given to do the work of two. The “Packing House Worker,” the shop paper issued by the Workers (Communist) Party units in the packing houses, reports in its last issue that in the Armour Co. 12 butchers went up and turned in their time. These workers are experienced each working steady for the last seven or eight years. The rea- |son why they quit is because they cannot work under the newly insti- tuted system of speeding up the They leave their jobs at a time when there are hundreds of men unemployed and it is so diffieult to get a job. Wages $15 to $23, The wages of the workers average from 15 to 23°dollars a week. The laborers get 42 cents an hour, so if a laborer works 50 hours a week he makes 21 dollars a week. But be- cause of the speed-up system the workers are not given a full weeks job, some work only 30 hours a week. The treatment of the workers by the company and its tools is be- yond description. Treated Worse Than Cattle. The workers are treated even worse than that.of the cattle in the stock yards. This is no exaggera- tion. While the company cares for the lives of the hogs and steers no consideration: is given to the lives and health of the workers. Recently a part of the lard cooling building of the Cudahy Company collapsed because the building was too old. Only one worker was killed because the accident occurred during lunch time. It is common knowledge that all the packing house companies fol- low a policy of using the buildings until they cave in. This crash is not the first one. Of course their conditions are making the workers realize more and more that there is no hope for improvement in the immediate fu- ture and that the only way the work- ers can better their conditions is thru organization. Tho. there. is a.union.in the pack- ing houses, ‘it is not a workers’ union, it is a company union, con- trolled by the bosses’ agents. The workers realize this and are anxiously looking forward towards the organization of a real fighting workers union. Communists Support Workers. So far the Communist Party is the only organized force that is doing something to organize the packing house workers. The Communist units of the packing houses are is- suing shop papers. These shop papers are issued monthly and are distributed not only in Kansas City but also in all the packing houses of the Southwest. The next. thing the Communist Party thru its paper called the “Packing House Worker,” is going to | hands. men. do is issue an appeal to workers to organize committees in each packing house. This must-be done, It is the | first step in building up a real union, The workers must prepare for it im- mediately, They must start organi- zing right now. In organizing the packing house workers committees there will be no discrimination against the Negro workers. If the workers ever wish to im- prove their conditions it can only be done thru unity of the Negro and white workers. The Negro workers are anxious to organize and the basic principle of the new. organization will be absolute equality of all work- ers regardless of race, nationality or creed, Without unity of the Negro and white workers there can be no thought of a struggle against the bosses. Should the white workers discriminate against the Negroes, they will simply be doing the thing the boss wants them to.do and that is split the ranks of the workers and drive the colored man into a position where he will be forced to scab Workers who wish information or want to help in this work should ap- ply to the District Office of the Party which is located at 207 E. 14th Street, Room 1, Kansas City, Kansas. -M.
