Tool Workers See Through Insurance Feke Pulled by Bo: Chicago, IL. To the Daily Worter:— In the machine shop where 1 | work the foreman is very strict. The shop has rules and recula- tions for the workers. If any- one is a few minutes late he is docked for a half-hour or fired altogether, If an unemployed werker comes into the shop to ask for a job he is not allowed to walk up to any worker or to talk to anyone but the foreman. A few days ago at noontime the foreman told us that tomor- row there is coming to the shop a representative of the Railway Employes Benefit Association to talk to us. The next day a well dressed gentleman came to us and gave us a “life insurance talk.” This gentleman urged us to join their association. In spite of the fact that we are not railway workers they will accept our cash and us as members. The boss agrees to deduct our initiation fee of $5 and our dues from our pay. We began to see the light as to the reason why this guy was al- lowed to talk to us in the shop The boss turned out to be quite liberal with our cash. We could not see why the railway workers are anxious to organize even non- railway workers into an insurance company while they neglect to or- ganize even the railway workers into a fighting union. There are 16 different unions or brotherhoods on the railways, and when some of them are on strike the rest of them are scabbing None of the workers in the shop joined this outfit. Speed-Up You Naugatuck Naugatuck, Conn. Dear Comrade: — Being a worker I would like to tell the world about Hoover's pros- perity im the U. S. rubber plant at Naugattiek, Conn. The workers here aré being pushed to the limit and I would say that the T. U. U. IL activity would be welcomed here. At one time the women and men were given a ticket of 12 to 18 pairr of shoes a day for a wage of $24 to $28. Not very long ago team work Wias started with four girls to a team, a ticket of 280 pairs of shoes for $20-$22 a week. But now that we/have Hoover’s prosperity we have cohveyors which put out 1,500 pairs off shoes with 15 girls at an average wage of $15 a week. Conditions Worsen. All through the plant the condi tions atte the same and in some de- they are worse. In one of the plants one man takes care of 16 mills to earn an average pay of $5.0% ‘in 8 hours, which at one time used to be sixteen ‘men’s work and only 3 days a week. tosses are a bunch of slave rivers of the worst kind and they ‘ave b@en proposed a three weeks at 80 they could put in more conve: Lai st week they put up a notice that read like this. “Factory vill "i on July 14 and will open ng Workers At U. S. Rubber on August 4. Anyone not reporting on opening will be dropped from the payroll.” This town is where the Young Communist League should work, all young workers, as old workers are not wanted. Being a new Party member I had the opportunity to be a delegate to the National Convention. So I told my foreman that I would be gone for a few days. When I came back a foreman of another department came to me and said, “Well, where the hell was you, Don’t you know that we can’t afford to have sny- ome stay out.” Insulting Foreman. I told him I told my foreman be- fore I left. He says to me, “You're a liar,” Well the only thing that stopped me from throwing him out. of the window was that the drop wasn’t high enough for a skunk like him. But being a man of a few words I told him to go to hell and that if he wanted to fire me to go ahead. But as he knows my influence with the young folks and also that I am a Communist, he thought it best to hang on to me, But as I said before its a town for the Y. ©. L. and T. U.

The Association of Union Employes, a company con- trolled union is another medium through which the company has been able to hoodwink its employes into the belief that their jobs would be guaranteed provided they be- came members of the association. This is the same scab organization that was created by the company bosses and their agents in the ranks of the telegraph workers mainly for the purpose of breaking the telegraphers’ strike ten years ago. Since then the association has been cooperating with company spies in weeding out all who show an inclination to resent the present speed-up which is largely responsi- ble for the many nervous wrecks and suicides among telegraph work- ers, With the rationalization process at its worst, discontent and a ten- dency to struggle rapidly spread- ing over the company’s lines, a fer- tile field is offered the T.

Western | ‘BUILD COMMUNIST Workers Starve To the Daily Worker: There is no better town in the .| United States that shows the work- ing class the real character of the + | capitalist system than Niagara | Falls, N. ¥Y. During this time of the year, we find the bosses swarming town looking for thrills and re in the sight of falls and They pass. through the fac ection at about forty miles an hour—run right through and never look around. They never look to see the chemical factories, paper mills, and power plants, never stop to think that the narrow streets and shabby houses are harboring work- ers and their families who slave in these factories and make it possible |for these parasites to spend their time in leisure. They have come ‘or | pleasure—to hell with the workers. But what does a class conscious worker see when he comes to Nia |gara Falls? Workers starving jeverywhere. Every day news comes around of 100 workers laid off in | that factory or 500 laid off in another plant, just one group after another thrown upon the street, with the problem of how to keep | himself and his family alive. Speed Up and Wage Cuts. And those that are lucky enough to stay in the factories—what of them? They are terrifically speeded ur and forced to do the work of those laid off and their wages re. duced. Wages that range from as low as 30 cents an hour. The high est wage being $85 per week for any number of hours. It is very easy to see a young worker getting 40 cents an hour for the same work thet an adult worker will be getting 50 to 60 cents an hour. Yes, workers here with families work for as little as 30 cents an hour 10 hours a day, 7 days a week of course, they tell you that you are not compelled to work seven days a week, but try and make ends meet working only six days a week.

Daily Worker, Comrades: After reading -the discussion y Harrison George on “ow Agrarian Tasks,” I see there is considerable feeling that there exists distrust between the farm ers and wage workers. This is needless, first 1 must say that if the farmer is not a worker here are no workers. If 12 to 16 hours a day do not make one a worker then only swivel chair artists lavor. While it is true that some farmets blanie the high prices they pay to labor, they are in a measure justified in doing so, for the A. F, of L. traitors have sup- ported the capitalists and their wages paid to a few organized “aristocrats of labor,” while they wanted no more to organize than was necessary to support them at high salaries ($7,000 to $10,- 000 @ year) and would not upset the system.

This delusion prevents them from seeing the truth. If one has anything which can be used to protect one’s self it is valuable and worth retaining, but when one imagines they own property, whether mortgaged or not which not only does not pro- teet them but requires money and labor to be spent to keep from losing it. Why worry about losing it, for it is a bill of ex- | pense and requires protection in- stead of protecting the workers. Capitalism is doing good work, the fools are afraid of common ownership | are losing the and Can Not Help Them und a generation is now growing up, property ¢ which sees © will gee that they have no private rty so th will not be ned by this | of govern ent or common ownership, It is necessary to debunk all prop: erty worshippers and prove to hom that capitaliem hes alrea taken away their private prop so the only hope Hes in col- ‘e ownership. is more important than any effort to teach sthem thei they have no fight against the wage workers but all are in the same status, Hence any effort te organize farmers must proceed on this basis, i. e the idea of private propetty must first be destroyed or it must be proven to them that capitalism has already deprived them of private prop. erty.

Dear Comrades: The Flint workers are class conscious, and fighting for ex- istence and freedom from the plutocrats. I began to work at the Buick plant two weeks ago, and when the Fisher Body work- ers paraded past the Buick plant, I walked out with several others. If the Fisher Body workers hold steady, the rest of the Buick will follow. The wage cut was all ready to be put in effect at the Buick, but the General Motors got scared. The usual clubbing and mur- derous attacks on the workers and organizers are carried out by the police, and perhaps they will soon murder some militant wark- ers and leaders that show fight against the boss class.

Unemployed workers got together held a meeting in the Union Hall, | discussing the problem, and making | demands upon the Union for relief. The business agents at first tried in their bully manner to disperse | the meeting. They were unsuccess- |ful because of the militancy of the workers. The workers had elected !a committee which had gone to the manager demanding immediate re- lief, also have the employment office handle all jobs if there are any, and not permit the business agents to give jobs to their favor- ites who in most cases are not un- employed, but employed being transported from one shop to an- other while hundreds of others walk around months and months without | jobs. Manager Potofaby advised them that there is nothing that he could do. At another meeting of the un- employed the business agents tried the same method to break up the meeting, but were unsuccessful, and Union like other Company Unions do, got the assistance of the police, and the police succeeded in dispersing this meeting. This is the way the Chicago Amalgamated solves the unemployment question. —A CLOTHING WORKER, At the strike grounds, I sold 75 Daily Workers in 10 minutes, My home was raided last night, but as they did not find anything vnines oo they may do it t time.
