SOCIALISTS IN KANSAS COLLECT SMALL CROWDS Meetings Smaller Than City’s Pioneers KANSAS CITY, Kas. (By Mail). |—The socialist camnaign and the tour of Norman Thomas, events which were termed by the socialist New Leader as a.revival of the de-| funect corps of the socialist party,| has proved, at least as far as Kan- sas City is concerned, a total fiasco With thousands of leaflets dis-| tributed by the local “party orgahi- | zation,” with notices and write-wps appearing two weeks im advance in the loral capitalist press about Nor- man Thomas’ arrival and the meet- ings where he was to speak, the meeting drew less people than half the membership’ of the | Young Pioneers here. There were two meetings sched- uled, one in Bethany Park, which was not held at all for the reason that, besides Norman Thomas and his aides. nobody showed up. The second meeting was held at the Pythian Hall, 626 Minnesota Ave. Only twenty-five showed up to this meeting. This inéluded one |farmer and the news reporters. | McAllister Coleman, the first speaker, was introduced as a “jour- nalist who writes with power.” His job was to tell about the! tour. He started by saying what |was evidently a lie, that in New| | York the socialist party had a pic-| nic of 10,000 workers. At any rate.) it was a rather poor way of boost- ling the strength of the socialist | party, if it will be remembered that let_ demanded that more effective} picketing be ignored by the union. The leaflets criticized the policy of co-operation with the bosses by the officials. The Progressive Group put forward the following demands: 100 per cent. union ship; 40-hour HELP RED DRIVE week; no piece work; increase in| wages; no arbitration clause in the | agreement. |Banquet Funds to Be| The officialdom of the Amalga- 7 j mated has placed the responsibility Given for Campaign for the i: of the leaflets by the As part of the Red Week mob- ilization of all workers, labor unions end workers’ clubs for the financial | drive of the Workers (Communist) Party Campaign Fund, the progres- sive group of Local 203 of the Wait- ers’ Union—also affiliated with the United Hebrew Trades, has decided | |to hold a banquet and- concert, all | of the proceeds of which will be doriited to the campaign fund of the Workers (Communist) Party.

The subway news-stand slaves are’ ex- ploited in the worst manner by the [interests of Collier who do not | value human labor to the least ex- tent, except to get as much as pos- | sible out of them. Conditions on the stands are un- bearable. In the summer time there is the foul heat and dust the clerks are forced to inhale into their sys- tem and in the winter they are compelled to brave the cold and moist. It is a common occurrence |amongst the news-stand employes | to be affected with all sorts of ail- ‘ments due to the environment in ; whi¢éh they are compelled to work |in. They are on the job from the |early hours of the morning until the late hours of the night. The “stand” must always be attended and the clerk must wait for an in- | spector to come along and relieve | | | | | him to attend to his personal wants. | The average pay is about $22 per | week for all the smaller stands and the poor paying stands, larger and better paid stands the clerks work | for a commission of 12 per cent | which is lowered gradually to bring the pay envelope to about $30 per week. Each stand is charged up with a certain amount of merchan- | dise and, for instance, one stand is |charged with $175 in merchandise | at the retail price, at the end of the week. the daily report is tabulated and if $150 in sales was taken in, then there must be $25 in merchan- dise to account for. Clerks are held responsible for all shortages at the end of the week. A shortage sometimes amounts to | $25 of the weck’s earnings of the | stand, which is deducted from the clerk’s weekly salary. The inspec- | tors come around several times dur- ing the day to keep tab on the ef- ficiency of the clerks. —JACK H. KALMAN. PLANE NEARS NICARAGUA.
