CUTS DOWN ON WORKERS BUT INCREASES PROFITS Shop Committee of the M.W.LL Organizing the Workers for Struggle (By a Worker Correspondent) BUFFALO, N. Y.—I think it will be interesting to the readers of the Daily Worker to know what changes took place in our factory where in “normal times” 2,000 workers used to be employed. It is interesting how new methpds of produc: tion are introduced in the steel industry to worsen the con- ditions of the workers and increase the profits of the bosses, The Old System. Under the old, so-called Single Mill System in a crew the following workers were working: 1—heater, 2—pair heater, 3—heater’s helper, 4—matcher, 5—doubler, 6—catcher, 7— elisha teas ae eae enn “AID” TS ADVICE TO LIVE CHEAPER Tammany Drives on Living Standards (By a Worker Correspondent.) BROOKLYN, N. Y.—Just to show the workers of the United States that unemployment and evictions are not confined to the slums of the vari- ous cities, but are also seen in the healthful resorts of the cities. Who would ever think that Brighton Beach, with all its marvelous apart. ment houses where rents vary from $50 to $150 for three rooms, would have evictions and misery? When people come to Brighton Beach, to its beautifud boardwalk, they do not see what is going on among the workers just two blocks away from the boardwalk. * Injured, Is Jobless. A worker, a steel worker by trade, found himself unable to work because of an injury he received on the job. Many months have passed and this worker, Berger by name, who has 3 children to support, is still without work, although he is physically able to work. Like many other. cases the rent falls due. Had it not been for the measly wages his wife earns the fam~ ily would have been evicted long ago. But this time there was no money for rent. He went to the mayor's committee (so-called) for help. After inquiring for the proper person to interview, he finally was seated before an Irish politician, to whom he had to tell hig troubles, which he did. The poli- tician asked the question: “How much rent do you pay?” “Forty-six dollars a month.” “Well, you don’t have to live in such expensive rooms.” “alright,” said the worker, “if you give me $30 I'll move into cheaper rooms.” Then the politician said: “Ob, no, if you get a flat for $20 it is still a little high.” 1931 CALENDAR FREE!

BUFFALO JOBLESS COUNCIL ACTIVE) Fighting for Real Job- less Relief (By a Worker er Correspondent) BUFFALO, N. ¥.—The members of the Unemployed Council are busily in collecting signatures for the endorsement. of the Social Insur- ance Bill. They are circulating the lists among the unemployed workers at the Broadway Auditorium, in the Erie County Lodging House and other places where the unemployed gather. Bvery one of them is signing the petition willingly for they are sick and tired of tht charity they receive in form of “soup” at the municipal soup kitchens. They are rallying in ever larger numbers the leadership of the Unemployed Council to fight for $25 a week, for decént lodging houses, for free gas, electric and rent for the unemployed, for work on union wages, for an appropriation of @ $10,000,000 fund to aid the unem- ployed, for free hot lunch and new Going for the children of the un- @mployed and the other demands put forward by the Unemployed Council. ‘The council meets every Monday, ‘Wednesday and Friday at 2 p. m. at the ‘Workers Center, 86 Clinton St. $30,000 DAILY WORKER EMERGENCY FUND Enclosed find EMERGENCY FUND NAME ADDRESS .. roller, 8—-roller helper. _ This crew got a crew wage that was divided amongst the crew. Out- side of this there was a polisher and @ piler, who were paid extra by the company. The first change thar was made was to add the polisher to the crew and the crew price was raised only with the wages of the doubler at the expense of the rest of the workers. Against this change the workers protested by a spontaneous strike in January, 1929. But the leaders of the American Federation of Labor convinced the men to go back to work under the old system while ne~ gotiations were carried on. The workers went back and in two weeks the change was introduced with the sanction of the A. F, of L. The New System. But the bosses of the Seneca Steel Mill were not satisfied with this wage-cut that was put over. They wanted more and more profits. So they introduced the.-so-called “Double Mill System.” According to this, one crew is roughing and the other is finishing all the time. In- stead of one crew of eight men two crews were organized—the roughing crew with 5 men and the finishing crew with 6 men, These eleven men, with the introduction of the packed furnace instead of the open furnace, produced twice as much as 8 men before, This rationalization is the reason why 500 men were laid off alto- gether and the rest of the workers are working two or three days a week, . One can paint a picture for him~- self of the terrible speed-up intro- duced if we take, for instance, the knilling. department, where before 8 workers made 6 boxes in one day and at the present time 4 workers are making 10 boxes a day. ¢ Workers Must Organize. The workers of the Seneca Steel Mill, due to the agitation of the en- lightened workers in the mill, start to realize that they have to do some- thing to stop the constantly worsen- ing conditions, to get better condi- tions. They start to realize that they have to organize themselves into a strong shop committee, inte a fight- ing union. They know, by bitter ex- perience, that the American Federa- tion of Labor is not their organiza- tion, that it does not represent them. This is the reason why they listen with open ears to the message of the Metal Workers’ Industrial League, which is a section of the Trade Union Unity League. A Shop Committee is actively en- gaged in organizing the workers of the Seneca Steel Mill to fight{ for higher wages, against the speed-up, for the recognition of the Shop Com- mittee, COUNCIL TO FOIL EVICTION OF’ Worcorr Finds Rooms Inhabitable (By a Worker Correspondent) NEW YORK.—At 222 First Ave., 2 man and wife by the name of Ham- ilton Leggett with six children, the youngest six months old, the oldest 17 years has been out of work for five months. The father is a push- cart peddler, also out of work fo: six months. The family is behind two months in rent, and the bosses’ court has issued an order for their eviction. ‘The Downtown Unemployed Coun- cil and also a representative ef the Worcorrs investigated the case. The family lives on the first floor. Pay Cut Looms at the Federal Knitting Mills (By a Worker Correspondent) CLEVELAND, O. — The Federal Knitting Mills Oo. of Cleveland em~ ploys about 500 women. It is located on West 29th and Detroit Aves. A woman working in this factory tells of some of the plans being used to cut the wages and how the conditions are growing unbearable, Last year she says, when they worked a full week they were able to make around $30.00 a week. Plenty of orders were coming in so there was plenty of work for all. Now if they get a full week’s work that is if sufficient orders come in; they con- sider themselves lucky to make $14.00 ts week and they work twice as fast. Sometimes they don't make that much, Must Wait for Work. There is no guaranteed wage. All is counted on piece work and if or- ders do not come in then yeu don’t get anything. And in order to make sure that you will make something the women come in everyday and sit around eagerly waiting to be called on to work. This worker went to the shop last week every day. She spent carefare and took the lunches along and stayed jn the shop with the hope something might turn up for her to do, The week passed. She got her pay check. And the envelope con- tained $1.61, The workers at Federal Knitting have been informed that they are going to get another wage cut after the first of the year. Last year the women of this factory went on strike for about an hour. The company was going to introduce a new meth- od of speed-up and the women walked out. They were out about an hour and then were told that they could work on the old method. Since then however wage cuts have been taking place till the workers cannot even make 50 percent of what they did before. “The Daily Workers are going good here. The workers are asking for them every day,” writes Sam Bar- man, of Oakland, Gal, “I have es- tablished a door to door route. Be~- tween Ed Wang and myself, Sam Barman, we sell every day 50 Daily Workers each, making all told 100 Daily Workers every day, on our route alone, “We are going te increase them as we go along. The Daily Worker is our only mouthpiece. What we speakers cannot say our Daily Worker can say for us. Workers, it would surprise you how workers will buy them, if you only went door to door. We shout all around the blocks “The Daily Worker.” We also have bags made, printed with “Daily Worker” in large let~ ters, As a suggestion put head- lines in the Daily Worker, as they sell better then.” AKRON TO ORGANIZE DAILY WORKER CLUB An Akron Daily Worker Club will be organized this Monday, Dec. 22) at 7:30 p. m., at the Workers’ Unity’ Center, 9 West Bartges, Akron, Ohio. All readers of the Daily Worker are urged to attend. ‘The main task will be to con- sider methods of how to strength- en the Daily Worker so that it will be a better organizer for the rub- ber workers in Akron as well as other shops, The building of a Workers’ correspondence movement in the shops will also be a major task. DESCRIBES GERMAN CIRCULATION METHODS Franz Lerche, gives an acount of a few methods used by the revolu- tionary German workers to give the Party press mass circulation. “Selling Party papers before shops and factories has become an estab- lished practice in Germany,” he says. “The workers have permanent stations and regular trade. Papers are delivered to readers and regular routes established by comrades. “A typical example of the effec- tiveness of Red Builders’ routes in ‘They are expecting a 10 percent wage cut, and one working woman says she does not think the workers will stand for it.

RED SHOCK TROOPS For metropolitan territory is afforded by the city of Berlin. The perfect distribution of the paper by the revolutionary news vendors has raised the circulation of ‘Welt Am Abend’ (Evening World), published by the Communist Party in Berlin, to the position of Berlin's leading evening paper and to the envy of the bourgeois press. “The fascisti, in attempting to imi, a. m.; from there we are sent to dif- Party, are meeting the organized re- sistance of Berlin’s working class. They are forced to sneak out under heavy protection. These enemies of the workers are finding their sup- port only among the petty-bour- geoisie.” “WE SURE NEED THAT PAPER,” DECATUR J. J.: B., of Decatur, Ill, writes: “I have been working to get subs for the Daily Worker. I have about 20 subs now. Send me 25 papers daily. We sure need that paper.” “RATHER MISS MEAL THAN DAILY WORKER” Oscar Larsen of Centerville, Iowa, says: “Enclosed find $3 for the debt I owe the Daily Worker. Please keep me on your sub list, I would rather miss a meal than the Daily Worker.” NEW SUBS WON IN SUPERIOR DRIVE Superior, Wisc. is ramming a breach in its 60,000 drive quota by using a leaflet inserted in old copies of the Daily Worker to explain the role of the boss press and the Daily Worker. OQ. J. Arness writes: “In this distribution I secured 5 subs for one week, one monthly sub and the promise of another sub tomorrow. Another comrade sold 53 copies of the special issue at the T. U. U. L. Hall.” The leaflet points out “that the bosses’ press fights and lies in the interests of the bosses. The Daily Worker fights in the interests of the workers and puts them wise .o the tricks ef the bosses.” JOBLESS CONFERENCES RALLY ADDITIONAL FORCES IN MINNESOTA 4,000 Signatures on Demands for National Un- employment Insurance in Minneapolis; Organization of Councils Proceeds MINNEAPOLIS, Minn, Dec. 16.— Conferences to establish city com- mittees to carry on the campaign of the unorganized for relief and insur- ance and against evietions are taking place in this district this week. There is intensive organizational work and plans for hunger marches on the city halls are under way. There is a drive for collection of signatures for the Workers’ Unemployed Insurance Bill, to take over the war funds of the national government and addi- tional sums and establish an unem- ployment insurance fund of $5.000,- 000,000 to give each jobless worker $25 a week insurance. The Minneapolis City Conference, a ainited front of many workers’ or- ganizations, was held Bec. 14. A sim- ilar conference will be held in Duluth, 635 W. Superior Ave,, on Dec. 21. St. Paul workers and jobless are arrang- ing their conference. The unemployment organization and signature drive connects directly with the organizatien work of the Trade Union Unity League. 4,000 Signatures. George Powers, T. U. U. L. secre- tary at Minneapolis, reports that 4,000 signatures have already been collected and that 10,000 minimum will be collected in another two weeks. He states; “Our unemployed work in connec- tion with both the campaign for im~- mediate relief and the enactment of the bill is now on a much better basis than previously. We now have ‘functioning councils in Minneapolis, (St. Paul and Duluth. In each of these cities our demands are before the city authoréties and we are carry- ing on a ‘follow-up’ policy, being present at each committee and sub- committee meeting of the city coun- cil to which the demands are re- ferred. During the past week we gained 40 new members for the coun- cils of unemployed in St. Paul and 53 in Minneapolis. The reports from Duluth are not yet in.” “We have taken immediate steps to draw these elements into the work ‘of building the shop and factory com~- mittees in the selcted plants in ac- cord with the plan of action of the T.U. U, L. We find that there was much confusion about the differences between league, organizing commit- tees, shop committees and shop lo- cals. We have set up three organ- izing committees in Minneapolis, for the S00, Milwaukee R. R. shops and Gold Medal Flour, respectively. As we go further we will establish sim- ilar committees for textile and needle industries at selected points. The same line is being developed in other cities, We are driving hard at the A.

A by-product of this activity in Minne- apolis is the result of our exposure of rotten conditions at the missions and other ‘charity’ organization places. “City inspectors have been running around to these places the last few days, and a number of the unem- ployed came up and told us that they now receive a card entitling them to 21 meals and bed for seven nights at the cheap hotels.” OLGIN SPEAKS AT FORUM SUNDAY NEW YORK. — M. J. Olgin, well- known revolutionary author, lecturer end editor of the Communist Jewish Daily the “Morning Freiheit”, will be the speaker on Sunday evening, December 21, at the Workers School Foru mat Irving Plaza Hall, 15th St. and Irving P]. The topic of the 4th successful forum of the season con- ducted by the Workers School, will be the “Bankruptcy of Zionism”. Comrade Olgin is especially well equipped to deal with this important topic of the day. Olgin will analyze how national chauvinistic iZonism basing itself on the Jewish finance capitalists and clericals throughout the world, and on British bayonets in Palestine, is in a mortal crisis. He will explain why the British imperialist “labor” gov- ernment double-crossed its allies, the Jewish bourgeoisie, in order to paci- fy the Arab landowners in face of the growing resentment at their oppres- sion and expropriation of the Arabi- an workers and Fellaheens by the an imperialists and their Zionist tools. eNews CLASHES BETWEEN FASCISTS INCREASE IN GERMANY) Yourig Worker Murdered in Cologne by Fas- cists; Fascist Confesses Killing Reformists Try to Betray Striking Milk Com-| pany Workers in Berlin (Cable by Inprecorr.)

Broderick, Tammany bank examiner, who is deep in the bank scandal mess, which led to the closing of the Bank of the United States, is attempting to answer some of the embarrassing questions that are being asked of him in connection with the Tammany grafters’ com- plicity in this bank failure. He absolutely refuses to state what the outlook is for the depositors. He denies that h eever said that they would get back 100 cents on the dol- lar of their deposits. The fact is this Tammany faker knows pretty well how conditions are but refuses to divulge them as there will be con- sternation among the 400,000 depos- itors. He fails to answer why the Walker administration puts $2,500,000 in the bank in an attempt to bolster it up and save the scandal for the Tam- many administration that would fol- low printing of the inside dope. From Broderick’s lame attempt to cover up the rottenness of the bank situation it should be plain to every worker that they will not get their deposits returned in full unless they organize in hundreds of thousands and take effective action to gain their demands.
