The meet- ing was opened and closed in about 15 minutes and when left wing dele- gates tried to bring up the problems acing the workers, the big helly boys didn’t give them a chance. T.U.U.L.

SPEEDS UP REST One Worker Must Do Work That Three For- merly Worked At (By a Worker Correspondent) NEW YORK.—It seems that the crisis is increasing. At the New York Central Freight terminal at West 60th Street railroad employees have been laid off by the hundreds. Clerks, trainmen, switch tenders, station agents and all other men were told that their services were no longer required. The marine department made a clean sweep. Station men, inspec- tors, foremen and dispatchers’ jobs are abolished. In the yard men that are doing the actual work are kept and each man must do two men's work. From New York to Buffalo 1,500 men were laid off, Two hundred station agents lost their jobs from New York up to Albany. Each station had three men, two men were laid off and one man was kept for each station. At the Grand Central Terminal 200 clerks lost their jobs. At the grain elevator forty or fifty m@ were employed, and now only six men are left and there is a rumor that it is going to be closed entirely. We have the brotherhood unions here and they do nothing. Only the Railroad Industrial League of the T.U.U.L. has a program of strug gle against such conditions. We used to run 65 to 70 loaded freight cars trains. Today we are running 96 to 100 loaded freight cars. Naturally, two trains are made inte one and the other crew is laid off. We have men having ten and fifteen years seniority that are left without jobs. In the near future we're going to have retarders, One man presses a button and stops a car in the yard wherever he wants to and there will be more brakemen and switch tenders laid off.

Join the Layoffs, Wage Cuts Spread Thruout County (By Worker Correspondents) Cincinnati Layoffs CINCINNATI, Ohio—The pros- perity of Mr. Hoover was again shot full of holes by » renewed lay- ing off of workers by the thousands. Within the last week or so a gréat number of plants in Cincinnati and its vicinity have laid off the remain- ing part of its part-timé employes for two weeks. Among those shutting down are the Tennessee Chemica) Plant, le- cated at Lockland, Ohio, a subeb of Cincinnati employing 1,500 werk- ers, and the Cincinneti Shoe Fac- tory, one of the largest plants of its kind in this city, The hours ef work in these factories when in op- eration were between 10 and 10% hours per day, The Tennessee Chemical Plant paid on the average 42 cents per hour, In the last several weeks, before the laying off took place, the bosses of the Tennessee Chemical concern specialized in hiring workers who haye come from the South, mainly from the state of Georgia, Prac- tically all of them were Negroes and were used to reduce the wages of the older workers, These are among the few which came to our attention. The laying off of workers and the shutting down of plants has increased lately, with the result that unemployment has tremendously increased, —CINCINNATI WORKER. Nat'l Cash Register Lays Off 2,000 DAYTON, Ohio.—Thousands of workers are being laid off ea week. The Frigidaire (General tors’ subsidiary) laid off 900 work- ers last week.
