But the foreman wanted to save money for the company so he kept telling the kid “You don’t need a pass out, you can work with that arm.” And he kept telling the young worker for an hour until the doctor came in, In the meantime his burned hand was paining him so much that he cried for the whole hour, wanting to get a pass out, but | heard the same old story from the | “loyal” foreman. | Ad Stunt.

Used as Seabs. Why all these attentions? for we are not used to it. The workers are roughly handled usually. Well, we soon found out. Next morning | we were set to work and began to talk to the other workers about what kind of a place it was, to be so kindly treated, they told us that the coo! and waiters were out on a strike and that we were hired to break the strike, here was the rea- son of our “kind handling. in obstacle arose, we were broke, having been out of work for a long | time, I had two dollars left and the others had even less.

What should a worker do in such a case as the one mentioned? What should a worker do regard- the agents of the bosses of which e is a member? How should a union be organized in order to eliminate the above men- tioned shortcomings in the hotel and restaurant industry? —A Member of the Vatel Club. | * * * Editorial Note: The Cleveland hotel workers strike is typical ‘of A. F. of L. craft narrowness and betr: Forced into the strike against their own wishes, because of the pressure of the skilled work- ers, the A. F. of L. cook misleaders left the unskilled and organized workers stranded and at the tender mercies of the bosses, and done more yoeman services in help break- ing the strike than the bosses could do. What is the answer? Clearly the organization of all food workers, skilled and unskilled, Negro and white, into an industrial union. Such today is the Food and Packinghouse Workers Industrial Union, based up- on a clear cut program of class struggle and able to lead the food workers in determined fight against the bosses.

A WORKER CORRESPONDED , ers signed applications to join the Party. It is a noteworthy fact that the workers were so interested in our speakers that they stayed through the entire meeting which lasted for two and a half hours. We realize that a direct cause of the. interest on the part of the workers is the steadily increasing unemployment and wage cutting which is becoming daily fare here. Norwalk has many nationally known factories, which vie with each other in exploiting the workers. For in- stance the Cluett & Peabody main- tained a large shirt factory here for over twenty-five years, employ- jing about 800 people. Within the past few weeks the workers have | been reduced to half and now comes official notice that the other four hundred are to be discharged, the plant discontinued. In The Crofut & Knapp hat factory, otherwise |million dollar hat factory, there is | only a shameful pretense of activity. The workers are beginning to realize that the crooked republican |machine in Conneeticut is not in- | terested in them as human beings, | but as tools through which they can make more money, That the workers are awakening is evidenced by their | Tesponse to our program. One more | fact of interest is that local press | refuses us every bit of publicity | and yet the workers come. MIRIAM BLDG.

In the early summer of 1927 Will Bradley hired a bunch of scabs to work’ in one of his mines (the Garfield mine) near Mystic, fowa. Some of the miners went out there to picket but big Bill had hired the local sheriff to go out there with poison gas and a machine gun and he drove them off one or two times with the tear gas.
