¢ DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, THU: SDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1929 five Viaid-Rite Lamp Shade Co. a 5 FOR A 51-HOUR Labor and Fraternal Organizations § MINERS DEAD: VEEK; SLAVE ALL IGHT AT HOME Vorkers Forced to Get | Own Material (By a Wo Correspondent) PHILADELPHiA (By Mail).— he payroll of the Maid-Rite Lamp aade Co, might give the answer to e question why girls become pros- tutes. This murder-mill, located | Seventh St., near Filbert, employs | yung working women in the most | cuelling kind of toil at $5 for a} -hour week, or less than 10 cents | 1 hour, And not satisfied with) icking the lifeblood out of their) aves during the regular working | ours, the bosses rob them of sleep y forcing them to slave far into the ght at home, In fact, the weekly wage of girls | tke lacing department does not | sme to $5, because they have to| iy their own needles and thread. | “You'll take better care of your) uff if you got to pay for it,” the | aief crimp snarls at the newcomer. The company cannot be putting out ach for needles, they’re always be- ig lost.” Before she can qualify for slavery . the stencilling department, where ie lampshade decorating is done, a orker must have attended an art hool or had previous experience on ae job, As might be expected, the irl capable of handling such highly silled work draws a fabulous sal- ry (by Maid-Rite standards)—$8 a eek, Not a Breathing Spell. Hand-decorating is harrowing rudgery. The paint has to be abbed into the parchment by srength of arm while the stencil is eld firmly in place. At thé end of ight and three-quarters hours of eady plugging in the murky, cuffy, stinking loft of the stencil- ng room, an able-bodied man would e dog-tired. Not one breathing pell is allowed all day; the speed-up rushes every last spark of energy ut of its victims; when a girl is potted exchanging a few words ith her bench-mate the straw-boss ares into them like a bellowing bull. laturally the women workers are ashed-out, stiff in their joints, sleep on their feet by the time 5:30 inally drags around. But their eeper waddles up as their cramped ingevs drop the brushes for the irst time since noon. Day work is ierely warming up’ exercise. Slavery at Homework. “«Who wants homework, girls?” ‘here is no answer. His eyes bulge ‘ith menace, “This work’s got to be one, understand?” he splutters. hey vunderstand—no homework, no yb, Browbeaten, the workers each ig home a 1i5-pound bundle of archment panels, to sit up until 2 r 8 in the morning, and they pay or the privilege. There are 300 large panels to a ot. A heavy border, about an inch, or the edge, has to be drawn around very one in ink. A ruling pen, cost- ig $3; a small bottle of India ink, 5 cents, and a ruler are needed for | he job. None of these is supplied y the bosses. All Night Slavery. “Oh, it wiil only take you about n hour to finish them up,” the boss ssures the new hand as she sizes p the hefty package she is to drag long home. The others laugh bit- erly. The truth is that it is im- sossible for a human to turn out he 300 panels inside of 8 hours. Jsing an ordinary writing pen the york goes twice as slow. Most of he young women have their fam- lies pitch in and help, in order to ‘et to bed before daybreak. But the sew slave, who had to go it alone, ecently slaved from 7:30 at night o 4a. m. on her first batch of home- vork, being afraid that she would ve fired if all the panels were not eturned by morning. For this vightful ordeal she was presented | vith one whole dollar—and was still :2.25 out of pocket for the mater-| als. Three nights of such killing yondage and she had not yet broken oven. Whole Families Enslaved. | With the lacers the story is the ame. Bent double over their work | ‘rom 8 te 12 and from 12:45 to 5:30, | trudging like slaves at tasks so) nonotonous that they drive you mad, here is no release for them when iight falls. They must go on stitch- | ng though their backs are breaking heir eyes bloated from lack of rest, heir fumbling fingers raw from jab- sings, unless someone at home can end ahand. In this way whole fam- | lies are enslaved. The lacers sell | three nights or more a weel: and | | tice, ‘no hot water, no soap and no towel. and buy it.

As though intent on discovering how much bludgeoning the human beast of burden can stand, without dying outright, the bosses practice all sorts of torments on the slaves. The women’s toilets are always clogged up, giving off an unbear- able steach, The chief crimp will not fix the hoppers; he knows that any worker will not stay too long in the toilet when she has to breathe the putrid air, That is capitalist rationaliza- tion for you. Hence, no chance to bum a few minutes on the job. ‘The wash basins are crusted with a quarter inch of grime.
