After waiting about an hour the men were told to ring out and go home. This gave the men seven hours on |) their clock cards but on the next |) day they discovered that the || timekeepers had-enly given them || | credit for six hours. In the same miserly manner the men on the midnight shift were treated. An hour after they had rung in their cards the bosses told them to go home. They were given an even “zero” for their time. Profits are sacred; wages must not interfere with them. Another rotten practice that Ford men resent very much on the midnight shift is time they have to wait to get their money en pay day. 'Fhey must wait an hour and more after they quit work in the morning before the pay office opens up. It is enough abuse to work a man on this “grave-yard” shift while he | fights sleep through the long ! midnight hours and then compel him to hang around on his own | time when he should be home. This just goes to prove e| utter contempt the capitalists have fer us while we are un- ‘anized.

I have. Armour’s, Swift’s and Cudahy’s and d the working conditions are as bad in one as the other. Their main idea is, install as much new machin- ery as can be had to put more men out of work and lowering the wages at the same time but producing more. .The most ignorant can not help but see this and how the big vrofits are fattening the pockets of Armour and Company here re- | cently installed a new electric ma- chine for cutting fat backs into bean pork, Before this took five butchers and three laborers and now with the machine it enly takes three laborers to do the job. The recent installation of new moving tables on the hog cutting floor cut down the number of men 10 por cent but increased the speed of getting out the work to about 4) per cent and the men get no re money. We dare not say any- or our card will have a dis- | ge slip on it that night.

Production has been trom 40 to 50 per cent. increased Accidents are more frequent than ever }efore. Two workers were injured in the last week in the above-mentiongd department. One losing a finger and the other a leg was badly in- jured. His leg was caught between the machine he was working cn and a large shaving pan that had been placed behind him. The pan was caught by a passing tractor that hauled stock, It dragged the man and narrowly missed killing him. After the worker had been rushed to the first aid hospital, some serv- ice men appeared, looked things over, had a few words with the boss and disappeared. The boss then ordered the machine to be started again and a Negro worker was chosen to operate it A noticeable reaction has taken place on the part of the workers with regard to the speed-up system and also the criminal negligence on the part of the safety depart- ment and the extreme abusiveness of the production flunkies, bosses and the like. CRANE SHOP WORKERS |RQSSES TRY 10 | STIRRING IN CHICAGO etin yp ppee By B, K. GEBERT. In the industrial city of Chicago, at Brighton Park, lie big factories of the Crane Company, which em- ploys more than 20,000 workers, pr ducing agricultural machinery. Speed-up in the factory is general, wages are low. Workers in the foundry receive $23 a week working | nine hours a day. Crane shops have a large number |} of foreign workers, the majority of them Polish, and hundreds Mexican workers, who are especially subjected | to terrific exploitation and brutal treatment by the straw bosses. | well known for his attacks on Mexican workers. One day he at- tacked some Mexican workers phy: cally, but one worker who was struck gave him such a licking that this 220-pound bully of a foreman died the next day. The Mexican worker escaped from the shop. She» Organization Needed. We do not epprove of this method of struggle against the bosses, how- ever. We are of the opinion that workers should unite in a shop or- ganization in order, for one thing, to force the bosses to stop the ter- rorization in the shop. The bosses at present are trying to use this in- cident to create antagonism among ing, that the foreman was a Pole and that the Mexican workers tried to get rid of him for reasons of nationality. . In this campaign of the bosses, the Polish Catholic daily, “Dziennik Zjednoczenia,” helps to incite Polish workers against the Mexicans by printing lying, nationalistic stories. A Polish worker employed at Crane wrote an article in the Polish work- ers newspaper“ Trybuna Robotnicza” One of the foremen, John Zielniak, | Polish and Mexican workers, claim-| }condemning these ant tempts of the upon the Polist rs to elimina jand to fight egain: national prejud houlder to shoulder Polish Workers Framed.

The militant workers of the Crane shops are looking towards Cleve- land for the revolutionary guidance and direction which will result in the organization of a powerful indus- trial union of all the Crane shop workers. By CHAS. S. ZIMMERMAN. The first of May this year oc- curs at a time when the struggle of the needle trades workers against the sweat-shop, against rational- ization, for shorter hours and higher wages, is being intensified. In January the Left wing organized the new Needle Trades Workers Industrial Union. In February the dressmakers’ strike was called, and carried to a successful conclusion. Preparations are being made for a furriers’ strike during the coming season. We are also preparing for an immediate struggle to re-estab- lish union conditions in the cloak trade. Therefore the needle trades work- ers have cause to celebrate May Day this year with militant enthus- iasm. But we realize that May Day is not merely a happy holiday on which to make a lot of noise and enjoy a good time shouting hurrahs, It is a time to mobilize the masses, to resolve to carry on the fight with increased determination, to strengthen and steel ourselves for ever sharpening struggles. All over the world the class war is intensified. Everywhere the cap- italists are preparing an offensive against the workers, an attack upon the first workers and peasants’ gov- ernment in the U. S. S. R., and they are also preparing for the slaughter of millions of workers in the armed conflict among themselves for hegemony of world markets. This situation calls for increased and intensified action on the part of all class conscious workers. The mass of unorganized workers throughout the United States must be organized and prepared for im- bureaucrats strangling the Amer- | ican Federation of Labor, and their allies, the socialists, as well as the | middle group of conciliators led by | such misleaders, bourgeois pacifist intellectuals, such as Muste, must be exposed and fought.. The Trade Union Educational League has pointed the way to the building of Needle Workers Celebrate May First | against imperialist oppression and |exploitation of Latin-America, | against the growing war danger, |and for a workers’ and farmers’ | government. This May Day is a time for all class conscious workers to resolve | to support the struggles of the Hotel, Restaurant and Cafeteria ginning of organization work among | a revolutionary trade union center,! Workers Union and the National to unify the forces of militant labor | Textile Workers Union, especially in| for the struggle against social-dem- ocratic reformist illusions, against rationalization, against wage cuts, the South, and of all workers in re- volt against intolerable open-shop | | conditions. (By a Worker Correspondent) DETROIT, Mich., (By Mail) —Up | to quite recently the foundry work- ers in K building, River Rouge Ford |plant, enjoyed the washing some of the grime from rang. (It has always been a puzzle | how this department got away with this violation of Ford policy). But now even this minor concession is taken away. The presumption is that “sorry” Sorenson, who always has his ears pricked to hear his | masters’ voice, has ordered this ‘bad” practice stopped. Ford has | explicit faith in this flunkey; that | is why he is paid such a handsome | salary. The core-room has been moved from No. 1 Iron Foundry to No. 4 “privilege” of | their hands before the quitting bell | and the toilets are situated directly | mediate struggle.

Just a few minutes in these toilets will give one a split- ting headache. In fact every day many workers go to the factory hos- pital for relief. Other toilets are similarly located and it appears as | though it is the purpose of the com- | pany to force the men out of the toilets as soon as possible. In the brass foundry a man lost | two fingers on a machine with | which he had no experience and be- |cause the boss had continually | hounded him to “step on it.” An- other worker rushed to death at an| electric furnace was wringing wet | (ara sweat; he took cold from a/ draft due to an open door and he died in four days.

In February the company had declared a lock-out against workers who protested against the blacklisting of former strikers. On Mey 38rd the police, who were es- corting gangs of strike-breakers, opened fire on the picket line, killing four and wounding 20. The whole Chiccgo labor movement, in response to the call of those revolutionary elements who were true predecessors of the Communists of today, came out to protest in a big demonstra- tion in Haymarket Square. A bomb frame-up was sprung at this meet- ing, and was exploited as an excuse for months of police and employer terrorism that did not let-up until the gullows claimed the lives of the most fegrless leaders of the working class, Parsons, Spiess and their fel- low workers. After they had been hanged the next Guvernor denounced theiy framed-up trial as an outrage. This tradition is being continued) today under the leadership of the Communists and of the left wing trade unionists. Conditions have changed, machinery has displaced a CELEBRATE THE FIRST OF MAY who serve the machines in modern factories are exploited and worn out at a much greater rate than ever before. The workers must fight the speed-up. The fight now must be, no longer for the 8 hour day, but for the seven-hour day and the fivé-day week. In the harder and more dangerous lines of work, such as mining, we must demand the six-hour day. At the same time we must fight all attempts of the bosses to cut our wages, either directly or indirectly through jug- gling piece-work prices, ete, Neither the tradition nor the new needs of the American working class are given any heed by the labor bureaucrats who, at the head of the old line craft unions, serve as agents of the employers within the labor movement They will never head any fight in the interest of the workers, instead they betray and split the workers in the interests of the capitalists. It is up to us to revive the old militancy of the eight- hour strikes on a new organizational basis. And in the coming struggles the workers will once more down tools on May First and advance to new class victories. Against the class-collaboration September “La- great deal of man-power, and those! bor” Day granted as a sop by the international struggle—the bosses, proclaim the holiday of class FIRST OF MAY. To wage this fight we must or- ganize the unorganized. It is im- possible to do this on the old craft union basis. Today the basic mass of workers in American industry are not craftsmen but machine hands— semi-skilled and unskilled workers in gigantic factories. In these fac- tories battles can be won by the workers only if there is but ONE UNION embracing all the workers in the plant, combined in militant INDUSTRIAL UNIONS, which in turn must be united in ONE BIG TRADE UNION center that will direct the struggles of the whole American working class along one common unified line and for one common aim, Such a center will be founded at the TRADE UNION UNITY CON- VENTION, called under the auspices of the Trade Union Educational League at Cleveland, Ohio, on June 1st. Every local trade union, every organized minority group in a labor organization, every organization committee or body of unorganized workers in an unorganized shop— must cend delegates. The COMMUNIST PARTY, under | whose auspices the present May Day meetings are being called, gives its unqualified support to this drive to organize the unorganized. It calls upon all workers to do like- wise. The Communist Party sup- ports every struggle of every sec- tion of the working class for the betterment of their living and work- ing conditions, it leads the workers’ fight for unemployment and disabil- ity insurance and other social leg- islation to be paid for by the cap- italists and administered by work- ers’ representatives. | At the same time the Communist | Party points out how limited and | ineffectual are all such reforms, jand leads the way for the final | struggle to overthrow the whole system of wage slavery which is ‘the cause of all our social ills. This system—capitalism—is the real cause of war, poverty, uncm- ployment. Capitalism must be over- thrown—a workers’ and farmers’ government must replace entirely the present capitalist State. This can be brought about only under the leadership of the COMMUNIST PARTY.

WORKER. GastoniaStrikersKnow | Now What May Day Is, When the four strikers from Gas- | tonia, North Carolina, first came to New York in the middle of May to help in collecting relief for their fellow-strikers, they were asked if they celebrated May Day. They laughed and said, “No. We never knew much about it. No one ever celebrated it down} there.” workers in the south were enslaved | and kept in ignorance by the mill- owners. The workers never had anj| opportunity to hear about, let alone | see, anything of the organized labor | movement in the country to even) know what May Day, one of most| American traditionally in labor his- tory of the country, stands for. When the National Textile Work- ers Union established headquarters in Gaston County and organized the workers and led them in strike, the textile workers learned about the struggle of the workers in other parts of the country. “We didn’t know what it meant,” continued the strikers, “but now we know.” for your own most immediate inter- ests then at least join with your fellow workers in organizing the un- organized. The time to take up this fight is right now. There is another imper- ialist world war coming on. The capitalists of different countries fight for markets in which to sell the things that the workers produce but are not allowed to consume. Thus in the Chinese, South Amer- ican, ete. markets, British and American capitalists are engaged in deadly competition that must speedily result in WAR, The extra-sharp speed-up or “ra tionalization” under which the work- ers are now being driven harder than ever, is part of the bosses’ war preparations. The working class | must prepare for the coming war by | organizing NOW, so as to be strong enough to take full advantage of the war situation in its own inter- ests.
