Jobless “Census”) (By a Worker Correspondent) PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—The Philadelphia unemployment survey conducted by the police is a fake. i y stated that there are only 51,774 unemployéd in Philadelphia. Mayor Mackey of Philadelphia his small number of jobless has been found out by the Mayor through a fake unemployed survey, taken by the police. This survey never reached one-third of the unemployed. I have only inquired on a number of streets and learned that the police never canvassed these streets. Thousands of homes which were canvassed were absent at the time of the police visit. never canvassed. The street on which I live, was But no police ever went back to the absent homes where many jobless live who probably were out look- ing for something. If a check was taken of the homes that really were interviewed it would be found that about 30 per cent of the unemployed only were visited. Philadelphia workers, ask those in your home, whether the police canvassed your house and if not, you can see clearly that the mayor’s propaganda is nothing but lies. And in the future, when you see figures on unemployment, in the capitalist press, you will have to multiply by three to get the correct figure. Join the unemployed councils, ganize.

A Chicago Slave‘Chain of Restaurants (By a Worker Correspondent) CHICAGO.—The workers in Messingers Merchant Lunch Rooms in Chicago aré subjected to the most horrible conditions, perhaps of any workers in the city. This is due to the fact that they have no union and they are all unorganized. The managers of the houses are authorized to use their descretion in slave driving, hiring and firing of the workers. The workers are fired on the slightest pretext, sometimes without cause. Some of the houses have the 12- hour day on the day shift, while others have the 10-hour day, while the night shift is always 12 hours. The wages are from $14 per week up to $19. f The speed-up system is very hard. At the company free employ- ment office, the workers are com- pelled to stand outside in all kinds of weather looking for a job. When the employment manager needs a man he comes out and looks the workers over, and then sends the ones out that he thinks are the most efficient. The Food Workers Industrial Union is the one for us! —CHICAGO FOOD WORKER. Losing a Strike a la A. F. of L. (By a Worker Correspondent) BOSTON.—Bankrupt craft unionism in its most hideous form, is being cruelly exemplified in a strike of waitresses at the Brass Rail restaurant, Boylston St., Boston. In true A. F. L. style, no more than two waitresses are picketing at one time, repeating the craft union phrase, “this place is unfair to the Waitresses’ Union.” (A.F.L.) ’ At the same time, a cook is standing in full view at the window, cutting meat, making sandwiches, etc., and just below him in large type are two signs stating: “We the undersigned waitresses are satisfied with conditions here and are not on strike.” And “This is an open shop, therefore there is no strike here.” tures. But there were no signa- One of the pickets was asked if the A. F. L. Cooks Union is doing anything to get the cooks out, and she replied, “I don’t know.” She was then asked why her union does not go to Martel, head of the Boston Cooks’ Union, A. F. L., and she replied, “I think Martel knows about this strike.” What a difference between this and the Cafeteria strike in New York! Only a militant Food Workers’ Industrial Union, embracing all prey on the! | food workers, can beat the food industry bosses, and do away with the slavery conditions that enslave the millions of workers in this the fifth | largest industry in the United States. —M. W. Los Angeles Workers, Don’t Be Fooled! Los ANGEVES, Cal.—Relief for the 150,000 unemployed workers of this city is in sight (!) Mayor Porter has asked the city council to appropriate $60,000 for building firebreaks. If the city fathers are generous enough to grant the sky- pilot mayor’s request, the idle work- ers of this city will get the huge sum of 40 cents each—the price of one cheap meal in a soup joint, pro- vided that such a sum is equally divided among these starving vic- tims of capitalism. The demonstrations on February ment forced the mayor to make some kind of a move in order to fool the workers into believing that the city administration, controlled by the re- actionary Los Angeles Times, really intends to do something for the un- employed. Workers, don’t be fooled! Rk. Southern Cotton Mills and Labor By Myra Page 96 pp. 25 Cents. EARLY REVIEWS “Myra Page is well qualified to write of Southern textile workers. As a southern woman herself, she has lived and worked in mill villages and knows the situation at first hand. “SOUTHERN COTTON MILLS AND LABOR” should be read by every worker in order to understand what is back of the great struggles in the southern textile field.” —GRACK HUTCHINS, author of “Labor and Silk.” . « . The author performed a surgical operation upon a portion of the body of American imperialism, an operation which discloses in detail the misery of the masses. This is no ‘study’ by a social welfare worker. Sympathy and un- derstanding are there, but primarily it is an incision, sharp and merciless, by a scalpel with a Leninist edge.” WILLIAM F. DUNNE.
