Street Department of the. City of Denver announced that it would hire sevérd! hundred men to lean streets during | the recent snowstorm,: several times | the number of men needed turned | out in the snow ad asked for the jobns. The oes who were fortunate enough to get'.on the street-cleaning crew had to work: for eight hours in @ blinding storm. Many of the workers had no tar} fare, arid so had to walk séverdl miles ans, and after yorking again. Many workers, in the one- hour allowed for lunch, just had to sit and wait, for “they didn’t have the price of a coffee and.: When ‘the’ workers came again the next evening, they owere told ‘that there were so many needing the jobs that they couldn't be.given another night's. work, And so the few dhun- dred workers, cut of the 12,000 un+ got $5, which is supposed to solve’the unemployment question in Dénver.

Miserable Charity Doled Out in Denver DENVER, Col—-An item. in: the Rocky Mountain News (Denver) of Nov. 24 states that the “St. Vincent” Society will give turkey dinners to 100 unemployed single men on Thanksgiving. The item does not say what the rest of the 12,000 un+ employed men in Denver and their families will do for a “turkey dinner,” not what they will eat the other 364 days in the year. The item also says that the “society” furnishes sleeping quarters and meals to from 30 to 50 men daily. This crumb dropped in “charity” to the Denver unemployed does not solve the unemployment question. Only the unemployed themselves, de- manding work or wages will solve the relief question.

To get a job in one of the three shifts working daily every worker must pay a rake-off to a fellow named Mor- gan. Otherwise no job. Terrific Speed-Up. Longshoremen at Chester receive 50 cents on hour at back-breaking toil of. unloading pulpwood or other Gargoes coming off the Delaware breekwater at Chester. However, at Scott's, when a cargo of pulpwood arrives, men froth the mills are taken out and paid 30 cents | an hour on the docks. A little more’ than half longshoreman’s wage. “The skill of the management.” In addition to this, other methods of ferocious exploitation unexcelled even in Chester, are used. Thus, on a recent ship arrived with a cargo of pulpwood, one of the big guys fer the company known as Bill made a speech to the workers. In the course of his speech he said:. “This is @ man’s job and if you get sick it’s your own fault.” Then this slave+ driver succeeded in unloading the boat in three and a half days. It ordinarily takes 7 days, or double the time, for this boat’s cargo to be unloaded by experienced longshore= men. Fight This Misery. It can be readily seen what “skill of the management” means, Noth- ing else than reduced wages and thé testing of human endurance in the speed-up. Not until the workers at Scott's organize into the Trade Union Mnity League will the profits go down, wages up and the work made toler> able for a human being. —J. 8. C.
