Read Below How to Help Organize Into A Strong Union (By a Worker Correspondent) PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—In the last few weeks more than 800 young cigar workers took part in three factory gate meetings here and at Trenton. The meetings were organized by the Youth Department of the Trade Union Unity League. No Race Prejudice Among Communists JAILED JOBLESS ; DELEGATES IN 2.

In Philadelphia two factory gate meetings were held at the Con- gress and Bayuk Cigar Companies and at the Consolidated. Over 400 young workers participated in the two meetings, and three speakers of the T.U.U.L. were arrested. The militancy shown by the young workers of the Bayuk and Congress cigar meeting sure gave the cops and the managers of the. companies a hot work-out. The moment one speaker was arrested another one would start off at some other place and so the meeting lasted for over a half hour. Leaflets, Young Workers, and other literature was both distributed and sold to the young workers who were anxious to get hold of it. The conditions in the cigar industry in Philadelphia, where over 1400 young workers are employed, where, according to the latest reports Bi per cent of all cigars manufactured in the country are produced in Philadelphia—are as bad as they can possibly be. —CIGAR WORKER.

A. Young an automobile accessories plant, in- famous for its rotten conditions, speed up, unheard of low wages, piece rate and number of extreme- ly young workers. Barney, the foreman of the 3rd floor wanted still more speed that night from Line 1. He tells the Inspector to force the line up to 2,500. Usually we make 2,000 in 9 or 10 hours at a killing pace. The speed is such that the men on the line get sick. But it does not make any difference. The fore- man bravely tells us “Be a Man”! Then a girl gets sick from the terrific speed. She begs to go | home. He tells her to get to work. She says she is unable to work any longer. He then shouts, “Go home and stay home.” The girl is fired. Tomorrow there will be thousands on the unemployed line | to take her place at half the price. | There is supposed to be a hos- pital service. Workers refuse to use it. It has a reputation of making a worker more sick when he gets out then when he gets in. More and more we are realizing the necessity of doing something about the rotten cgnditions.

I went to the Employment Office for the Handicapped, on 23d Street and Second Avenue. The woman there said things were slack. She sent me to a charity organization on 22d Street. In this dump, known as the Charity Organization, they made me sit and wait, with about fifty more workers who were waiting to get something to eat. The boss came out and called me into his office, and after questioning me for half an hour, called this place up and also called the hospital where I had been. Then he said he couldn’t do any- thing for me, but that he could give me a meal. So he handed me an envelope marked “Void if Opened,” addressed to one Beefsteak John, on Third Avenue. I opened the envelope and found a meal ticket for 20 cents in one of the filthiest places in the city. bis is the way capitalism takes care of workers. j CRIPPLED WORKER.
