A tax cut of $.60,000,000 is being asked \ By the big capitalists. posedly computed according to a workers efficiency, plus a certain percentage for length of service. However, in the last lay-offs, as much as 10 points were deducted | suddenly from a good many workers | | who had been employed in the yard | five, ten and more years, Among those recently laid off were large numbers of first class skilled men, helpers, old workers | | (above forty-five years of age) and | thosé who were within a few weeks | of their first year and would be | entitled to thitty days vacation with | pay, When their year was up. At the samé time, enlisted men from the U. S. S. Vestal and Whi- ney, floating fiachife shops, and also from the U. S. S.

These enlisted men ar getting but $2 a day for the same work that the civillian workers wete paid $6 ja day for. | Sdid a worker in the Philadel- phia navy yard to the Daily Workc1, “From imany facts it is evident to us workers in the yard that a} wage cut is heing introduced, really by laying off first class men and | helpers, while keeping second and third class men, putting enlisted men on the job and hiting appren- tices who are then used instead of the helpers iaid off. “Men ove? forty-five are being deseriminated against and iaid off Vaéation periods aré being skill. fully done away with by laying off | all who are ¢lose te having put in a year’s setviéé.

One worker, uncoupling a water hose on a natrow ledge near the top of a drydock (there were no| safety chains ot failings there) was Knocked over by the back pres- sure of the water in the hose, and fell fifty feet to the concrete floor. He was instantly killed. Then a gang of men were put to wotk in the machine shop, working overhead right in the midst of re- volving pulleys and bélts. As a result, a rigger, removing scaffold- ing on this joli caught his clothes on an open keyway on the drive shaft: He despetately held on to Stipports he clutched while the shaft, revélving at high speed; ripped his clothing to ribboris. He was taken out, a mass of blood and flesh. Coincident with the lay-offs, the | naval officers go snooping around | and fire men on the flimsiest pre- texts. The majority of the men até organized into A. F. of L. craft | unions. “But what does the A.

The rank and file at many U.M. W.A. locals have defied their o' ficers, and refused to expel N.M.l members from their meetings. There have been a series of local strikes over the worst grievances. Over 16,000 new members have been gained by the N.M.U. during recent months.
