We are forced to take a “vacation one day every! week regardless of whether we want it or not, as we are being laid off] by the company every Monday. And you know what that means. It means that the majority of us work- ers can hardly keep going till the end of the week on such reduced, meagre wages. The cause of all this is the horrid | speed-up system of the company.) We work all day. like horses and if| we are not finished with the work we are overtaxed with at the end| of the day we are compelled to stay| on the job and finish even if it takes half an hour to do it. Wages Cut Continually. The cutting of wages and laying off of workers is continually going on. The wages of the packers haye been reduced from 24 dollars to 22 and 21 dollars per week. Some pack- ers are getting as low as 14 dollars | a week, which is just enough to} starve on. Also we are very often! compelled to go to other depart- ments and do various jobs which| should be done by other workers. Commander Richard Babyface Byrd who was recently stored in || the rear end of a trans-Atlantic plane and transported to France | now expects to be shipped into the Antarctic regions by the aid of a lot of unknown workers. The capi- talists just adore expeditions such | || as Byrd’s. It spreads the psychology and keeps the workers’ | minds off the main ideas. Above ts | Dr. David E. Buckingham who se- lected one hundred dogs for Byrd. Byrd himself has contributed to the suceess of the expedition in the past few weeks by getting beauty | treatments, speaking at Rotary luncheons and being Uhotograihed in a new starched uniform.

In fact a worker doesn’t worry nearly as much about having a pleasant old age as having some. A worker is lucky if he lives until he is 45 without having something fall on him. Then he may wake up any morning and find his lings gone. On the other hand you have a social leech like John D. Rocke- feller hanging onto life until he is | 89. His value to society isn’t past, it never existed. He wouldn't know now which end of a broom to sweep a floor with. His idea of gener- osity is to relieve the working class of a million and give a street urchin a new dime whenever a cameraman is around. eke pees Gems of Learning Major General Henry T. Allen: “I think Governor Smith appeals to the soldiers.” He is appealing to everybody, but therquestion is will he get any re- sponse.

The strike in the locomotive | | shops of the Guaranteed State Rail- | roads at Nizam, Hyderabad, spread to enginemen and other workers. The Times of India, in an article calling attention to the recent strike on the South India Railway, said the government must take steps to “check Communist mischief before | it destroys the peace of the land.” Mill Strike Spreads. | The Bombay mill strike, already | in its fourth month, has affected | Madras workers, where a strike was | called in the Choolai mills in pro- test aguinst the double loom sys- tem.
