In 1926 strike of the fur workers I was a captain of the 27th Street fur market and tried my best to lead my pickets to a successful fight. But this is not the point I want to bring out.

WAGE CUT FOR RAYON WORKERS Workers Suffer From Rotten Conditions CLEVELAND, Oct. 26.—The houses of the Industrial Rayon are getting ready to cut wages. A new wave of rationalization will take place in the near future. The company has made plans to install 100 new ma~ chines of modern design. The worker who operates these machines | will be given a vacation without pay. Wages have been reduced from $25- 28 to $15-18 a week, Many of the young girls are suffering from pul- monary diseases because of the poor ventilating system. Often the girls | faint because they, inhale the poison- ous fumes that pervade the atmos- phere. While the wages of the workers | have gone down, the profit “of the bosses have surpassed the preceding record of the same months of last year. For the first nine months of last year, the workers earned for the bosses $1,063,203. And next year we will have to make more profit for the bosses. Not content with these super profits the company has commenced with a real slave driving campaign. The foremen are instructed to tell us to “quit if you organize into a strong militant union and tell all the bosses and their fore- men where to get off at.

Prohibition was the thing talked } most about to a group of workers who are working less than half time. That bread was the thing most} needed by them was more than evi- dent. Unemployment was mentioned but only as a means of attacking the republicans and as an excuse for asking the workers to give the democrats a chance at the spoils of office. Thousands of workers are laid off and hungry in Elizabeth, many from Singer’s, yet those fakers put on their vain display which failed to enthuse, F.S.U. Prepares For Capacity Crowd At Chi.
