The host of stool pigeons and | so-called foremen, headed by Osip| Wolinsky, right winger and form manager of the Pocketbook Makers' Union seek to terrorize the workers. | With this terrorism as a whip they| seek to drive the workers with a} most vicious speedup system. Wolinsky has his henchmen in the! adminstration who are always ready to do his bidding. Thus the workers} have to fight both Wolinsky spies in the shop and his spies in the | union. Young Workers Slave. The main victims of exploitation | in the Morris White plant are the| young workers. Boys and girls get, as little as $12 a week. Altho these| workers called general helpers are| union members they have no union protection, since the agreement does | not provide a minimum scale for these helpers. They are forced to accept any wage the firm offers| them. Even the more skilled hetperay) whom the agreement does guarantee | a minimum wage, are working for far less than the scale calls for. The failure on the part of the Pocketbook Workers Union to raise and maintain their wage level is greatly responsible for the miser- able conditions of these young work- ers. - © MACHINIST UNION FAKERS TURN UNION INTO LA FRANCE CO. ficials have been bo: “victory” has been won. The strike was a fight for union recognition. For a year the American La France Co, said it would never under any circum- stances deal with the union. Then suddenly the Machinists Union fakers entered into a contract with the company, which for class-col- | laboration can’t be beaten. This (By a Worker Correspondent) ELMIRA, N. Y., (By Mail).— After the machinist of the Amer- ican La France Fire Engine and Fire Extinguisher Co. here were on strike for over a year, the strike was suddenly settled by the fakers in charge of the A. F. of 4. Machinists Union, and the of- : Under Their Own Management Dear Comrades:— We have received your letter, and although it was awful to read how the capitalists in America abuse the workers, we bore in mind that it was our class enemy who cannot treat differently those from whom he has to squeeze out as much profit as possible, Ever since the working class assumed power in the U.S.S.R. such abominable things cannot occur here. The personality of the worker is protected by all existing laws. And under the protection of these laws we are performing our task, the reconstruction of the whole country upon a new technical basis. “Dneprostroi,” where we are working, will in three years present an immense hydro-electric power station of 800,000 h.p. This power house will be a source of energy which will turn the wheels of a number of industrial undertakings to be built there, giving employment up to 300,000 worl We are building this power house with all the workers of our Soviet Union closely watching our progr We are building it with our own forces, with the participation of your engineers and Germans, because in the construction of such immense structures on which will be spent over two hundred million rubles we have had no necessary experience. Until now we managed our construction pretty well. The works fixed by the plan have been done on time. We are carrying on the construc- tion collectively. In all departments there are production commissions, which consider the questions which are brought forward by the active workers or arise in the process of construction. These questions are first of all discussed by the commissions, after which they are consid- ered at the production conference, with the participation of the work- ers, the technical staff and the administration. These conferences play a great part in the matter of economizing in the expenditure of funds and material, they rationalize this or that part of the construction. Ever since the “Dneprostroy” came into existence, i, e. in two years, of the 8,000 workers employed we have 1,500 active social workers. These active workers take on social work, they take an active part not only in the production but are also carry- ing on cultural work among the population of Dneprostroy. The cultural services assume different forms. At present the Dneprostroy people have taken on the patronage over a village. We have assumed the cbligation to serve that village not only in a cultural sense but in a material sense as well. We have decided to help the poor population of this village with the spring planting. We are sending there a work- ers’ brigade to repair their agricultural implements.. We have assigned funds for the purchase of necessary materials. We worked two hours on Saturday, and this will enable us during the first part of the sowing season to buy everything necessary for the repairs on the machinery. Next it is proposed to work a few more hours on Saturday in order to collect a necessary sum of money, Our village is poor and uncultured. It has to be led upon the same road on which the working class is marching ahead. Beaten down by czarism, the poor and illiterate peasant is like a toy in the hands of the village “kulak,” and it is difficult to turn such a peasant to the path of Socialism. And still each day brings us victories. throughout the Union is proceeding the organization of the pedsants into collective units for the cultivation of their land, as science teaches, and we the Dneprostroy people have also assumed the obligation to help both the village and the Soviet government sooner to lead the village to the road which was long closed to it. So you see by'what our worker, and particularly the Dneprostroy worker lives. There is a whole lot cf work, remembering all the time that our work leads in the direction of the earliest accomplishment of the Socialist Revolution in the whole! world. Write. With fraternal greetings, by request of the Editorial Board of the paper “Dneprostroy,”—-N.

Well-known capitalist spielers, as Joy Lee, took part in the gassing- | bee but made no reference to the fact that many of*the rotten build- ings put up a century ago are still in use and that workers risk their necks behind rickety walls every day. Among others, the John L. Lewis Co., makers of Dutch Boy White | lead, and Job F. Pugh, Inc., auger |makers, herd their slaves in struc- [ee which ought to have been con- demned a generation back.

He gained several promo- tions thru speeding the workers up and watching out for the company’s Accidents are getting more fre- quent in the/shop. If we refuse to work under the speedup, we are told the company will go to the union fakers, and they will see that the speedup is obeyed by the machinists. The Grand Lodge and the local union have become slave- drivers for the American-La France Co. The workers will be fired by the company, with the UNION O. K. of the union fakers, on charges of “violating” the contract, unless they slave to the limit. The “brotherhood of capital and labor” is what the machinists’ officials say they stand for. Well, the machinists themselves don’t stand for this. We are wak- ing up, and we will fight these friends of the bosses, the officials. —LA Lee MACHINIST. ‘Vampires and Water Power | on the Cinema Guild Bill At the Film Guild Cinema they | put on a movie that seems to have} a scenario by some sophomore whose | instructor told him to write a horror play.
