“ n= be'released Wednesday, February 26, | surance." DAILY WORKER, 'W YORK, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1930 sake three OIL VICTIMS’ FAMILIES, THOUSANDS LAID OFF, FACE STARVATION c Complete Whitewash of it Siuadeid Oil Co. in Horror Blast Planned Four Previous Explosions in N. J. Refineries: Also Due to Bosses Rationalization “The families of the workers who were horribly mangled by the Stand- ard Oil Co. face the same starvation as the thousands of workers whom the: Standard Oil has laid off and thrown on the streets, it was learned by The Daily Worker today. The maximum compensation al- lowed by the New Jersey State com- | pensation act, which was framed by | and for the bosses, will bring to the crippled workers and their families only $17 a week, and that a. nt} for a period of less than four years. | The Standard Oil’s legal pettifog- | gers were busy, it was learned, in attempting to sign up workers in} the hospitals to make easy settle-| ments under the compensation .aw. The syster lawyers who prey on the workers were also in evidence, com- peting with tue Standard Oil’s law- | yers and insurance carriers in at-| tempting to cheat the workers | ‘further. In the hospitals, many of the in- jured stated frankly that they were | afraid to talk for fear of discharge by the Standard Oil Co. | Most of the victims of the S -d-| ard Oil Company’s greed for profits leave families, many of them having several young children, who will be virtually ‘ helpless and forced by) starvation to slave in the refineries or other industries here at an early | age. Joseph Lukasiewicz, one of the} workers killed, leaves a wife and a| four year old child with little or no funds: Howard Holiday, 30, of Bay- onne, leaves a wife and three chil- dren virtually destitute. Clarence! Croft, 25 year old worker, leaves a wife and 4 month old child to exist} on whatever small amount the cap- jwere injured when the storehouse | {400 pounds of dynamite killed five | workers iltalist courts or the Standard Oil) wish to award them. One of the workers, blinded for| life, who will probably die, is An-| drew Prokop, of 82 E. 28th St.,) Bayonne. Prokop’s wife and nine children, | | the youngest but a year old, face! BERIA AND PICCADILLY” starvation on the $17 a week maxi-| mum which the New Jersey state! compensation act allows a worker whom bosses’ greed for profits has maimed. Eight of Prokop’s small children are girls. All will prob- ably be forced to slave in factories | soon. In the past rationalization, fol- lowing on lay-offs of workers has caused four big explosions, result- ing in the killing of workers in New Jersey. On March 27, 1929, three thou- sand pounds of nitroglycerine blew up in the DuPont Powder Works at juring others. On April 7, 1929, many workers | of the Neptune Fire Works Co. at Carlstadt exploded. Four sandhogs were killed when an airline burst on a Hackensack River bridge pier on May 29, 1929, On Tune 4, 1929, an explosion of | in the Belmont-Gurnee Rock Quarry at North Bergen. In each case the companies guilty | of murder were whitewashed by the state “investigators.” | In each case the state tried to} make some worker the goat, usually | putting the blame on some dead} worker who could not answer the} charges. Big PORTER "WELCOME, PLAN’ 1 Youth League Calls On ‘All to Participate A demonstration of welcome is planned. by. the. Young Communists League for John Porter, who will after 18 months in an army prisen, | for his militancy in aiding the New Bedford strikers in 1927. | All: youth and adult workers’ or- ganizations have been appealed to}, by the Y.C.L. to aid in the demon-| stration.
