YOUNG WORKERS Down Tools, EAGER TO SHOW THEIR Demonstrate, | MILITANCY ON MAY 1ST Those Who Didn't ¢ Come Out March 6 Want| Chance to Show Bosses What They’re Made of Kensington, Metal and Textile Center, a Center of Misery Due to Unemployment (By a Worker Correspondent.) PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—I am a | young worker who has been unem- ployed for the last three months and I want to say that wherever you go for a job today you find hundreds of workers who are un- employed and ready to fight for something to eat. In Kensington, a textile and metal center of Philadelphia, you see mills with their smokestacks smokeless and thousands of work- ers walking the streets who have been thrown out of their jobs be- cause they have produced too much for the bosses when working under the vicious speed-up and long hours. When talking about the March | 6th demonstration to these unem- ployed workers they all say that they are only sorry that they did | not take part in the fight for work | or wages, and all they ask for is | another chance to show the bosses | their real strength. The reply to | this JOIN THE T.U.U.L. and the UNEMPLOYED COUNCILS | and to demonstrate MAY Ist. Also to get the employed work- ers to DOWN TOOLS MAY 1!

When the Jobless Revolted at Ford’s (By a Worker Correspondent) DETROIT, Mich.—Yes, the po- | lice dispersed the crowd of jobless workers. Why? Why don’t the capitalist press come clean and tell the truth about this fight? Why? Because they want the workers al- ways to be blamed for everything that even they themselves create. The truth about this fight is not at all the same as the bosses agents say that it is. In regard to the tear gas and the sticks, that is no rumor; that is an actual fact. As for the men becoming unruly, well, ‘who: would- n't become unruly if ene came to seek a job and those brave Ford service men tried to club the work- ers because some of them dared to make a bit of fire in the yard. Such “unculiness” began and the workers didn’t stand for that kind of bull, retaliated to the challenge of the service men. When the service men seen that they were unable to stob the jobless from making a bit of fire to warm them- selves after standing in the line waiting for a ghost of a chance to get a job all night, the service men calls the police. Well, here is where the real battle began when the coppers ar- rived; they thought that they would scare the workers by show- ing their famous weapon, the club.

As the po- lice “heroes” began to disperse the workers they very soon found out that the workers are not quite so dumb as they called them in the beginning. The workers, when they saw that the brave police were using their clubs they became very mil- itant and gave the police a very good sample of their own medi- cine. In less than a minute the ‘jobless started to throw anythin; that they were able to lay their hands on, at those very brave po- lice. Well, the workers continued to throw rocks, old rubbers, tin pails and bricks at the cops. ‘The cops tried to arrest a couple of jobless. Believe me\they had to change their minds v damn quick, for the workers did not stand to see their comrades mishandled. They showed a very militant spirit and did not allow the cops to take the comrades to the cell, but fought and released them from the cops Seeing the situation, the cops j rushed to the employment office to call more cops.

J.—I want to show how rotten the Amalgamated Clothing fakers are. The minimum wage in New York shops is $20 per week, ours is '7 and 8 for the same work. Every ¢peak- er that comes here is dum-stytck at our wage-scale, and all they éan say is“dumbells.” But the real cause is that our chairlady and New York delegates have too big a heart for the boss and his pocketbook and are crooked all through, Now, Mr. Halfarn, head of the union, has the nerve to try to get 42 hours instead of 40 from us to try and attack the extra half hour on the end of each day where the union law calls for 8 hours straight. Also they are beginning to drop the question of increased pay for us. We get no strike-money at all for | picketing and when one was locked | up for knocking a girl down, the delegate came out here penniless ani the bond had to be scraped up by the committee in our shop from their own pockets. Finally sentence was suspended. We have to report each day though. I am doing my darndest to put the Italian workers wise and have succeeded pretty well. We are going back under worse conditions than we left. I think the union is trying to hold us out to the point of star- vation, so they'll be glad to yo back for anything.

It cooperates with the bosses to carry through wage cuts, and increase the speed in the factories. The revolutionary ‘Trade Union Unity League and its affiliated trade unions, however, wages a militant class struggle against the bosses. It takes the lead in organ- izing the workers and in the fight against the speed-up, wage cuts, and long hours.

While under capitalism millions are unemployed and starve, wages are cut, the standard of liv. ing is being lowered, workers are being clubbed, jailed and killed; in the Soviet Union the workers have the seven-hour day, social insurance, the wages are increasing, and the workers rule and control the gov- ernment. The great success of the Russian workers in their socialist construction is today serving as an inspiration to the workers and op- pressed of the world, and is a chal- jlenge to world capitalism. Because of this, the bosses are preparing for a war upon the Soviet Union. Tc- day the pope and bishops and the rabbis have all united to stir up! religious prejudice against the work- ers and farmers government. This religious crusade against the Soviet Union is a part of the general war preparations of the bosses against the Soviet Union. The workers will not be misled by it.
