Many others are injured, often maimed for life from failing while at work. For this highly dangerous and hard work the window cleaners of Philadelphia often receive as low as $18 per week for 55 hours work. And rarely do they get much more. Altho these accidents are of such frequent occurrence, the capitalist newspapers never print details of these kind of fatalities. The window cleaners of Philadelphia know this, and are preparing to organize a fighting union to increase wages, better conditions and redress all grievances. Virtually half of the window clean- ers of Philadelphia are Negro work- ers, and they are well represented on the committee organizing this union, A mass meeting will be held at Boslover Hall, 701 Pine Street, Wednesday, May 15th after work, that is shortly after 4:30 p. m. when the meeting will start.

The principal industry here is the ‘umber mills. The wages paid in the mills are used as a basic wage rate for all the workers here. The wages paid in the lumber mills for common labor is from 25 cents to 42% cents an hour. The amount of hours for a working shift are as many as the bosses feel like making them.

The owner of the ranch and orchard, a resident of Sacramento, had so many big ranches that he handed cver the management of each to a manager who decided what kind of work was to be done and how many workers should do it. But he “had nothing to do” about paying them. The workers got their pay from the owner and had to job, who, the bosses claim, are anx- | ious to work for 10 cents an hour less than we are paid. By this sys- | tem the bosses are enabled to pump out of the slaves more “presents.” The impression of California given by the papezs, even in distant parts, is one of a land of Arabian Nights. The papers do their job of serv- | ing the bosses well, for by attract- ing workers from all over with tales of many workers wanted, the wages are beaten down. All this has changed my opinion of this kind of a society which causes so much slavery and misery. TAKI SINGH RAI. A. F.L. STIFLES AID TO STRIKERS Va. Fakers Slander Gastonia Strike NORFOLK, Va.
