Helps Wage Slashing; TUUL Leads Growing Resistance of Workers NEW YORK.—That the talk of] a few days ago of the big bo: like Farrell, president of the U. S Steel Corporation about “not cutting wages” is a lot of hooey is admitted | s today by the Journal of Commerce | in an editorial. Farrel’s and the other bosses’ statements was meant for mass consumption. It wes’ meant for the workers to read and believe. | But the Journal of Commerce speaks to the bosses, and they do not want the workers to read their remarks or hear them. They talk in a different tone, and say differ- ent things. Among themselves the bosses admit they talk a lot of hy- pocritical nonsense in order to hide the fact that wage cuts are going on apace. ' Here is what the Wall Street sheet says: “A great deal of hypocritical nonsense had been talked, for in- stance, about the policy of pay- ing high wages as a matter of de- liberate choice... . Many em- ployers who regret the necessity, are nevertheless forced to cut wages, whatever their opinions may be as to the ultimate effect upon the public welfare.” Bombay Mills Rapidly Closing Down BOMBAY, India — Notices have been posted in Bombay that seven mills will close down on August Ist, owing to the depression in the cot- ton industry." This means throwing 15,000 mill ‘workers out, and it is stated in-capitalist circles, that this is only ‘the beginning.

J., Aug. 1— Two open air meetings were held today infront of. the Bond Electric Co. factory here, where 300 workers are on strike. The meetings were called by the. Metal Trades Work- ers Industrial League. It is ex- pected that 1,700 workers, still re- maining_on. the job, will come out soon in a strike against the heavy wage cuts. Yesterday, Eisenberg, an organ- izer for the M.T.W.1.U. up for distributing leaflets. To- day, while agitating workers to go | on strike, H. Eisenman, Jack Corry, | Regina Breff, and another worker, were arrested on a _ framed-up charge. Eisenman and another worker arrested were finally dis- missed. Others were held on heavy bail.

In| this project they get the help of} the entire capitalist press and the | leadership of the A. F, of L. fascist officialdom. Wage cuts have been made in \thousands of plants, are being made every day, and will grow more} drastic as the crisis worsens. At |the same time more and more work- jers are showing resistance. This re- |sistance is being organized under) |the leadership of the Trade Union| i Unity League. The bosses feel that |the A. F. of L. is perfectly safe— lin many instances, advocates and} {fights for the wage cuts against the} |wrokers—but the bosses know the | | workers will not stand by and see} |their standard of living forced lower jand lower. Thus they talk their poison gas about no wage cuts. | Other mills will probably follow suit as the piece-goods merchants are refusing to accept deliveries owing to the lack of demand.

Open air méetin; and factory gate meetngs throug’ out New York and rrounding suburbs took place yesterday and the day before to call out the work- ers to the anti-imperialist war dem- onstration on Union Square. Where no regular meetings had been ar- yy Communist Party units, | or by the militant industrial unions jand leagues of the Trade Union Unity League, individual workers carried packs of leaflets and Daily Workers and distributed them to | the workers going to or from the jobs. They were well received in all cases by the workers. But the Tammany police and in coming several cases, local organizations of | bosses’ thugs, attacked the meet- ings and distributions. Two Deportation Cases. The International Labor Defense, | New York district, reports one de- portation case arising directly from the August Ist preparations. Sal- yatore Sallutio, an Italian worker, was seized for distributing leaflets in Hoboken, and rushed to Ellis Island. In addition police raided the con- struction work, at 180th St. bridge, and have turned over an LL.D. member, Anton Gojjha, a Jugo-slav worker, to the immigration authori- ties. He had been telling his fellow workers about August 1, and the need of organizing. Fascist Attack. at the Western Electric. 1,000 workers had listened yester- day to speakers from Section 1 of the Communist Party here, after the meeting was over and the friendly workers had gone in; the regular Young Jingo organization, the employers have created there launched an attack on those who had been speaking. As the struggle raged, police charged in and ar- rested five—Communists of course, | not thugs. One of the arrested workers, | Manus, was found to have a black eye. All were released at the police station. e Cops Try to Cripple. The tactics of the police seem to be to cripple the demonstration in every way they can, but not to make sensational cases. break up meetings and prevent dis- tribution of leaflets by making ar- rests, but few of those taken to the stations were held in jail. Yesterday, 5 were arrested in Newburgh, N. Y., and held for trial today.

The bosses cannot hide the fact that fundamentally the economic crisis is getting worse. Unemploy- ment which has been growing steadily, at a mighty pace, since last October is becoming more acute. There is undisputable proof of this, There is undeniable proof that the crisis will grow worse.

DETROIT, Aug. 1.—Work with- out wages is the latest scheme of Detroit bosses to solve the unem- ployment problem. “Laborers wanted to work for room and board, at once,” was an advertisement found to come from the office of the Mutual Investment and Finance Co. in the magnificent Union Trust Bldg. Workers are shipped from this office to a farm located over 30 miles from here where they are put to work tearing |down old buildings and _ erecting new ones. Fourteen workers are being scientifically sweated there at present, Seven of them sleep in one room. The others sleep in a tent in the fields. Sanitary provisions simply |do not exist. As remuneration the workers get food and overalls—but no wages.

They were arrested last week at a M.O.S.I.U. meeting. Appeal bonds are being posted by j the International Labor Defense, whose attorney, M. Woulfe, has handled the case. Carr is one of those slated to death in the electric chair if the bosses’ courts in Atlanta, Ga., can convict him, along with five others, of “incitement to insurrection,” The Atlanta trial comes up this fall. This coal and iron city of Birm- ingham, a center of reaction and with a strong lynching organization in the Ku Klux Klan, has courts subservient to the industrial barons. Within two weeks it has sentenced five workers’ organizers to year terms on the man killing chain gang, all on fake charges of “vag- tancy.” The other three are Tom John- son, Communist Party district or- ganizer; Henry Jackson and Frank Burns, the Trade Union Unity League organizer here. Jackson, reported kidnapped last week has been found. He was not released, as was reported to his friends here. but was taken back to alts Forum, Will be held this Sunday at 3 p. m. lac jail and held incommunicado there until Tuesday. —All Revolutionary and Sympathetic Workers’ Organzations; —Ali Parity Communist Papers; —All Daily Worker Readers; —All Workers from the Shops That We | Can Reach.
