HOURS ON IRON RANGE No Seale System Is in Vogue By a Worker Correspondent) HIBBING, Minn. (By Mail)—The conditions of the iron ore miners on the iron range are hecoming intoler- | able. In most cases in the mines the men are made to work from 10 to 13 hours a day—the 10 hour day is a usual practice. _The wages are $4.20. The stool-pigeon system is more developed than ever before and | puts the miners in a stage ‘of ter- | rorism and persecution. In this work | the mining companies get the full cooperation of the church. Miners who do not pay the heavy taxes imposed upon them by the preachers and the priests are im- mediately reported to the company | and for this crime miners are pun- ished with a three-day lay off or three weeks. In many cases miners | are forced under threat of losing | their jobs to go out on Sundays and collect money for the priests. Legalized Robbery. | In the South Agnew mine in Car- | son Lake for instance miners are| forced to buy raincoats and other | necessary clothes from the company at their own expense, amounting to| $20; again, in other cases the men| getting the job spend the money for | clothes and are fired within . two | days. Because of the water. running | from the top and bottom the clothes | do not last for more than twenty | days and they have to spend $20} again. | Open Thievery. The miners in most mines work piece work, receiving $1.10 per car} load of iron ore. A car load is sup-} posed to hold 342 to 4 tons, these are the so-called “Wilson cars,” but | the mining companies use instead | the “democratic cars” which hold at least 5 tons, and yet the miners re- | ceive the same $1.10 per car. There is no scale system which would show exactly how much the| miners are robbed every day by the steel companies. Another system | used by the capitalist is the “dock- | ingmen.” If any miner is caught} washing his hands, or taking his | overalls off a few minutes before | quitting time, the miner is docked | from a quarter to half shift, it all) depends upon the way the foreman feels about it. Miners Begin to Revolt. Militant miners throughout the | range are beginning to maraies against these rotten conditions. They | are looking forward to militant | leadership and organization. The T.) signed for 10 U. E. L. mine committee formed re- | cently in many important mines is! my] proof of the fact that the period of | pessimism is over and that the iron | jnite. ore miners, the same as the workers | throughout the country are prepar- | ing for new struggles, under the guidance of the militant leadership of the Trade Union Educational Ore Miners of Minnesot | Yartzevo before the revolution was a dirty place. | while now by mea: : The D.

USSR Textile Worker Tells What Revolution Has Done ___ Today we conclude the letter from a Soviet textile worker written in answer to the lies spread by capitalists ‘and their tool, Trotsky. American workers should write to this worker. | Trotsky’s conduct is condemned by all workers, by the party men as well as the non-party men. By means of his last actions abroad Mr. Trotsky definitely buried himself. They call him a “correspondent of the bourgeoi: “The bad herbage has to be th: v runs a peasant saying. | BEFORE THE REVOLUTION Now I will tell you how our town look what it is like now. The former owner of the his interests only. The ex | | ed before the revolution and | textile factory, Khloodov, used to took after | istence of the workers was really pitiful. | The workers used | Sometimes in one small room—| to live in barracks similar to a prison. two, three and even four fa: were lodged. All the space between| cur barracks were in a most w: nitary condition, SINCE THE REVOLUTION During the revolutionary years the lodging cooperative and factory | administration have built about fifty single-story and two-story red} houses in Yartzevo. There are about 900 members in the lodging co- operative, while our town has 18,000 inhabitants. With each coming | year the lodging cooperative is building more houses. Our workers begin | to live under human conditions. Every family possesses three or four rooms. Such a thing we sca: y could dream of in the past. Now there is in construction a three-story stone building with 47 flats for the workers where they will enjoy all possible comforts. There | will be a playground for the children, a laundry and bath. We have also built a house for “Yasly” where our babies will grow, being looked after according to the last word of science. This spring there will be started a house for the Workers’ Club. If Yartzevo of pre-reyolutionary times was considered a dirty place, | now it begins to grow into a pretty little town. Before the revolution our factory, by means of 133,000 spindles, working nine hours a day, had produced daily 16,000 kig. of spinning, of the same equipment we are producing daily 17,500 klgs. There were 2240 weaving machines in our factory before the rev- olution but now their number has grown to 2804. There is a new detached building erected for the weaving factory de- 3 92 stands and in the spring the machinery will be put in. This year the spinning factory has to be re-equiped and instead of les we shall put on watters produced by our Tula factories, Before the revolution in our factory 60 per cent of the workers were rate; now out of 7,000 workers there could be scarcely found 100 men who cannot read and write, and those are all old people. DESIRE FOR EDUCATION The desire for education amongst the workers is very strong. One | after another the groups for educational purposes in different lines of League and the new National Miners | science and art are growing, and one is vexed that there is not any pos- Union. | —METAL MINER. Montreal Workers Aid Gastonia Mill Strikers’ Defense | MONTREAL, Canada, Aug. 4.— On Friday evening, Aug. 24, the Canadian Labor Defense League will hold a mass meeting at Prince | Argthur Hall, to commemorate the death of Sacco and Vanzetti and to} raise funds for the Gastonia pris- | oners facing electrocution. On Sunday, Aug. 11, the Womens’ Labor League Summer Childrens’ Camp at Fourteen Island Lake, 40 miles from Montreal, will give a , concert for the Gastonia fund.

(By Mail).—The electric welders of the Sun Ship Yard are on strike. They have demanded of their fore- man Briggs that wages be increased from 70 to 80 cents an hour. Briggs took the demands to his superior, Jackson, who offered them 74 cents which the men refused to take, This 74 cents covers a special rate which the company has been in the habit of granting upon request of in- dividuals who do more work. _ The welders refused to go to work Jast Monday, July 29, and were in ‘conference nearly all day. In the afternoon Vice-President Burke tried to persuade them to go back to work. Some of the men were offered 80 cents but the offer was rejected.

WANTS 'EM FRESH —T0 DRIVE THEM Gives Extras Short Shifts . esting letter from a worker corres- pondent who slaves at the American Express Company depots in Chi- cago. The next instalment, to ap- pear in an early issue, will be the concluding one) * The Illinois free employment of- fices in Chicago are largely supply depots for part time labor. About 60 per cent of the jobs filled by * 8 |them are temporary and 25 per cent are for less than one day. There are dozens of firms in Chicago who call these offices every week for men whom they keep only for a few days and several call several I believe the express lcrews a day and each crew for a short period. Neither do they rely upon the free employment offices for men except in emergencies, They hire men at their own depots where there are usually men waiting in abundance, By hiring at their own sheds the agency can make sure that no ex- tra gets in more than one shift in 24 hours no matter how short the They demand fresh men every shift. Only at three sheds do they make a practice of work- ing these men the full four hours, the Northwestern, C, B. and Q. and the Polk St. depots. The last two work all shifts four hours, the first named shed works the late after- noon and early evening shifts four hours each; all other shifts from one to three hours. The shifts at the other sheds vary from less than one hour to a few minutes less than four hours. Want Men Fresh—To Slave Harder About 60 per cent of the extras will average around two and a half hours per day and even at that get crooked out of a few minutes each shift. It is worked like this. All extras punch a time clock yet at the Pennsylvania and at 817 Wells St. A notation is made on the card docking the worker for the time taken to walk from the clock to where he works and back to the clock again when he is laid off. The deduction at the Pennsylvania is about fifteen minutes; at Wells St., from five to eight minutes. The distance to walk in either case does not exceed 300 feet. As mentioned before, no extras are allowed to work more than one shift. The men being fresh permits a speed that could not be maintained by men working long shifts. The slave- driving tactics of the old Mississippi |River levee drivers is used by the foremen at all times, The men are plainly told that they must “Hit the ball” if they expect to get on again, |If he does speed up enough to sat- isfy he may get on the same hour next day if sufficient work has piled up. A train coming in late or some other excuse may postpone the time } of hiring or a decrease in freight }might cause the number of men jhired to be cut down in numbers. Plenty of Slaves. That men can be found who will |work under such circumstances is a sad commentary on the conditions of the workers in America. Yet this company has no trouble in securing |plenty of men at all times, as a few instances will prove. The [Illinois Central hires about sixty men to unload a train that arrives about 1 a, m, when on time. Many times it is late from one to three hours. No men are hired until the cars are set at the platform. Yet the com- pany seldom experiences any diffi- culty in getting men even at those hours and it is no uncommon thing for 100 men to be turned away.

Such is the program of the American Federation of Labor. It is the ideal of the misleaders of labor. This is their fondest desire, to bring about an agreement with the bosses, so that trade union leaders can turn the trade unions into company unions and use them as instruments for the exploitatién of the workers. |Altho the interests of the workers would be sacrificed, the group in- JAPAN WORKERS.

Many delegates representing vari- ous trade unions, fraternal organiza- tions, women’s clubs, workers’ clubs, | ete., were present at the conference and pledged whole-hearted. support and financial aid to the framed-up strikers of Gastonia. The first conference which was held on Friday, July 26, in the Grand Fraternity Hall in this city was broken up in the early part of the meeting when police rushed into the meeting and placed 55 of the dele- gates under arrest.
