Lditor of the Daily Worker: Here in Rockford, Ill., one of the largest center of the furniture in- dustry in U. 8, A., the workers con- litions are the same as all over the , least said rotten. Some of the furniture shops that used to employed hundreds of workers, com- pletely closed down. The rest of them are only working 3 or 4 days a week and 7 or 8 hours a day. The pay is the lowest possible. The young and very oldest workers get 20 to 25 cents an hour. That | is not the only thing, the bosses kave their speed-up system. We have thousands of unemployed fur- niture workers walking the streets of Rockford and that makes the} hosses think they can do what they | please with the workers. The only way fellow workers in} the furniture industry we can fight U.S. against low wages, wage-cuts, speed-up and unemployment is through organization, organizing into a militant fighting union. The} Furniture Workers’ Industrial] League affiliated to Trade Union Unity League, is the only union which organizes the workers to} fight for their interests. | Build the Communist Party.

For organizing in such cases as this, and for the strike struggles sure to develop here as elsewhere against wage-cuts and speed-up, the Trade Union Unity League is call- ing for donations to build up a! $100,000 “Organize and Strike” fund, and issues the slogan, “Or- ganize and strike against wage- cuts!” September 1 Demonstration. The latest outrage against the militant leader, Johnson, grew di- rectly out of the mass demonstra- tion here on Sept. 1, “Unemploy- ment day.” Several hundred Negro and white workers got to the meeting in Cap- itol Park. Southern capitalism de- clares this park “Jim Crowed”— only whites allowed. Both the Communist Party and the T.U.U.L. demand complete racial equality. Forty or fifty police were sta- tioned at the park entrances, and they clubbed and drove away all they could, They boast of turning back 500 workers and jobless who were trying to attend the meeting. They particularly viciously clubbed Negro workers trying to enter. . Braxton, a Negro worker, was arrested as he left the park, and is still held in jail without charges. “To Be Shot on Sight.” Tom Johnson was arrested as he started to enter the park, thrown into an automobile, beaten up, men- aced with guns in the hands of the police, and thrown out 25 miles | 1 paign in this state. that the IN BRIEF— “Progressives” Boss Party Faction Plymouth, Wiscon. |The Daily Worker: Gentlemen:—I am sending you a few clippings from the Sheboygan Press regarding the present cam- split in the republican party is revealing a lot of things that are interesting to the workers. The writer of this letter attended a rally in this city last Saturday evening and heard William L, Pie- plow, candidate for secretary of state, and M. G. Eberlein, candidate for attorney general. These gen- tlemen accused their fellow repub- licans of a lot of shortcomings, and their group expect to capture the nomination for the important state offices. —J. DEZ. Coast Canners Get Lower Wages Pittsburgh, Cal. Daily Worker:— At the Hicksnolt cannery in Antioch the maximum wage is now 37% cents an hour for tray carriers and general labor. It was 42% cents last year. Women do all the lighter can- ning work, and as well as the mex work 14 to 17 hours a d The season lasts from March to October. When fruit is not at hand the workers are sent home till it comes, then they must run when called or be fired.

The police told him they were instructed not to arrest either Johnson or Jackson, T.U.U.L. organizers again, but to drive them out or kill them, Johnson found all the roads pat- "rolled with police when he tried to re-enter the county.

There were demonstrations throughout this part of the south on Sept. 1. Over 600, two-thirds white workers and one-third Negro, demonstrated in Chattanooga, Tenn. In spite of the menace of 25 police, and the heads of the Amer- ican Legion who attended the meet- ing, it was an excellent demonstra- tion. All literature was sold. This demonstration was preceded by five preparatory street meetings, with at least 2,000 pieces of literature distributed at each meeting. paper.
