Out of 1,050-mine workers there will be approximately 200 left on the job. It is talked every- where that No. 8, owned by the same company, some three miles west of this place, is to close within the next two weeks. This mine employs fully 1,100 miners. This is the last mine along the The Treacherous AFL in Caldwell Works (By a Worker Correspondent) I would like to’ state here some of the unfair tacties practised by the E. F. Caldwell Co., Inc., on its workers. This concern manufactures high- grade fixtures and chandeliers, also antiques to grace the homes of the exploiters of labor. Out of a total of 500 workers there are about 25 workers that be- long to the Electrical Workers Union. Yet this firm stamps all of their products with a union label, when only 5 per cent of the help is union. The men doing general work do not even receive wages enough to work on. I am referring to the men not in the union. work is not even unionized. Length of service means nothing to the company, They have laid off men who slaved for them for a period of many years.

(By a Worker Correspondent) PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—If a man is O.K. with the municipality of Philadelphia, meaning that he is a faithful henchman of the well-oiled republican machine, he has a “chance” to get a job out in Fair- mont Park as a laborer.

In every shop, those men working are cracking their stomach to press hard on the machines, otherwise they will be the next to go out, and in this way, they are forced to pro- duce 300 per cent more than be- fore. This means that there is 75 per cent of the men out of work. Years ago I built a house on Staten Island, material bought from Sears, Roebuck & Co., Philadelphia, Pa., who own the mortgage. Being out of work I am unable to pay for gas and sewer, which amounted to $200, so yesterday I received a reg- istered letter from the company, ing that if I don’t pay up to the last cent, they are forced to seize my house. If this happens I will loose whatever I saved during the last decade. How many thousands are in the same position? Do the liars, Hoover & Co., know about this? No, they don’t know, but they know that somewhere ex- ists a workers’ government, called Soviet Russia; so they are busy to prepare for another world war to restore the czar’s Russia. But the bosses’ government must realize that this time they will try their own lead, shot at them by their own citi- zens.
