(By Mail).— The workers of the Chateaugay Ore and Iron Co. here are certainly slave-driven. The Chateaugay Co. operates iron mines in this section, as weil as the smelting plant in Standish, which is about 35 miles from Plattsburgh, on Lake Cham- vlain, near the Canadian border. The company’s iron mines are at Lyon Mountain. The conditions for the workers in the plant here are rotten for the men, They work 12 hours a day, seven days a week, never getting a | single day off in the entire year. The wages are terrible. The ordin- ary laborer here makes only 28 | cents an hour. The men running the machines. who pig the iron, get 32 cents an hour at the very most, for | this is the wage the com- | pany pay workers. | The seven-day week for the iron | miners is supposed to be against the state labor laws, but I guess the law 4on’t go for the bosses of the Cha- teaugay Iron and Ore Co.

On account of the company work- ing the men in the plant seven days a week, they take advantage of the men who get hurt on the jeb, by cheating them when it comes to pay- ing the compensation the injured worker is entitled to. For instance. if a worker is hurt in the plant they will refuse to pay him compensation on a seven-day week basis, but only | on a six-day basis. To do this they are forced to admit that they are illegally working the men seven days a week, and try to get out of it by saying that the work on the N TRICKED ON BOARD = DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, THURSDAY, MAY 16, 1929 the ynderstanding—four hours on | and eight hours off and “rated”— compelled to sign the ship articles which, of course, were in Nor- wages to be 60 kronen per month. wegian.

October Revolution Gave Soviet Peasants the Land In the following letter from a Soviet village correspondent, the misery of the peasants before the Revolution is contrasted with the great gains they have won thru the Revolution. The writer wishes to hear from American farmers. Write your letters thru the Daily Worker worker correspondence department, and they will be forwarded to the Soviet peasants and workers. $y. 8) 6 Dear Comrades: I wish to tell you in this letter of our village life before the revolu- tion. | There are 170 households (farms) in our village. Before the revo- lution each peasant had only 4 sagens of land; then our fields were situated far from the village, because between them and the village were lying landlord’s fields that contained 3 thousands of desiatins (acres). We had been deprived of all political rights. Nobody had read newspapers then. We had been serfs of our landlord and no more. We had used to go to church and pray “god” to let us enter the para- dise some day when we die. and landlords told us that we had enemies: Germans, Jews | village authorities, such as Uriadnik. Starshina (head of | the volest), staresta (bailiff) supported by kulaks (rich peasants) who | possessed 100-200 desiatins of land | each, ruled over us. There happened | often that fathers and sons were not allowed to attend village meet- | ings together. Such were the hard- | ships we had gone through. | What did the October Revolu- tion give us? Each peasant in our village has now 2% desiatins | (acres) of land. We have our own authorities in our Village Soviet | which consists of 12 persons, 4 | women including. They all are either bedniaki (poor peasants), or seredniaki (peasants of average wealth). Kulaks, speculators, ex- | ploiters and merchants cannot penetrate into our Village Soviet; | we deprive them of election rights. In case our Soviet does not fulfill instructions of electors and does not | follow the Soviet laws, we have the right to re-elect the Soviet even before the specified term. Now about the national politics. No hostility is noticed at present among Russians, Poles and Jews who live in our village. As far as the cultural work in our village is concerned, we have a village club (isba chitalnia) that has a reading room with 500 books in it. Peasants are suscribed to 75 different newspapers. There is a four | years school in our village. 95 per cent of the peasants of our village are members of the Consumers’ Cooperation and 80 per cent are members of the Agricultural Cooperation. 45 separate households are organized now into three so- | cieties for collective cultivation of ground. Besides, the ective village | correspondents organized an Agricultural Commune. It has a tractor i anda thrashing machine. Other societies will get them this next Spring. | Poor peasants are freed from agricultural taxes. ! 80 persons, 20 of them women are members of the Committee of Poorest Peasants. This winter in our village was organized a Party school where we study Leninism. Our youth spends its leisure time in reading rooms of the isba chitalnia (club) and take part in work of different scientific circles, while before they had used to waste their free time in parties. We publish a wall newspaper: “To the better life.” This newspaper | won prizes twice, both at the district and region exhibitions, though our village is very far from town. So it is necessary to mark out that our village grows up as far as cultural and social activities are concerned. Thus comrades, the white emigration should not even try to make “free” our Ukraina. It will not succeed in it. With greetings, | | A Soviet Peasant ; knows. | \charges of vagrancy and the judge | ykers Know Real Slavery; 94 Hrs. A Week THOUSANDS IN KILLING RATE.

The Mergenthaler Linotyper Co. which makes lino- typing machines, pays for this work only 90 cents an hour, The tool and gauge department had ashop meeting and appointed a commitiee with instructions to make a demand for 10 cents an hour in- crease in wages—to $1 an hour. The Mergenthaler Company flatly re- fused to grant the tool and gauge department workers’ demand, told them that if they were not satisfied with their present wages they could quit. The men called a meeting in a hall, but only 35 out of several hundred responded. The following day the Mergen- thaler Co. discharged 31 toolmakers.
