Calumet and Hecla went on a four day week and the Seneca Mining Co. closed down completely, laying off about 150 men. Rumors, which I heard today in town, are going around that the Isle Royale is going to close down completely. That means that abont 3 to 400 men will be laid off from the Isle Royale mines. A worker in the Quincy mines told me today that he heard that the Quincy mine is also going to shut down.! GI 2n Be RS Ic SORE Page Three This Is What the Bosses Want Labor Defender Photo Group.

Cattle prices are low. All these severe price cuts are due to the economic crisis. Taxes Increase. Most of the farmers in this section own the land tho there are some ren- ters. Rent is about fifty to seventy cents per acre cash money and taxes run near forty cents per acre. Taxes are increasing on account of bonds being voted. Taxes are not charged according to income. The farmer just pays so much per acre regardless of his income. Cash rent is the same regardless of what the renter makes. Some land is worked on the share basis, the renter getiing half of the crop and the landlord getting half. Bankers Rule All. The renters are exploited by the The renters to run them thru one season having to pay interest in the fall. Very few have borrowed money this year for the simpie reason that the banks won't loan any more. The landowners in turn are exploited by the banks and the collectors. ‘The land is poor and of-a sandy nature. The farms are run down, tools are run down, tools are old and worn out, buildings are getting old with the farmers not able to build new ones. The farmers should organize into farmers committees of the United Parmers League to better their con- ditions. Only by doing this can they put up a solid fight against their robbers, By uniting with fhe city workers they can strengthen their struggles and succeed in improving their conditions.

GRALICK. NOTICE ‘Workers are advised that the spy, A. Rodriguez, who has been expelled from the Communist Party, is in no way related to Comrade Armando Rodrigues, who has the same ini- fighter in 4 mines of the Calumet and Hecla, which mines are in such conditions that if they are closed down for any length of time. they will cave-in. This: bunch of mines employs a few hundred men. According to an ar- ticle in the Daily Mining Gazette a few days ago the copper mines will curtail production on a large scale. Soup Kitchen. The copper country towns are hold- ing back on their unemployment pro- gram. In the iron mining districts of Upper Michigan the towns are providing soup kitchens, where they serve soup once a day for two days and then the unemployed worker must get out of town. Negaunee only provides sleping quarters for one night on a nice soft concrete floor in the city hall. At 8 o'clock the doors are opened and everybody must get out and nobody can return for another night of comfort on the con~ crete floor. Get out of town as fast as you can, is what the workers are told. In Hancock and Houghton the police are driving the workers out of the city halls; no room here for bums, is what the workers are told. The Calumet and Hecla Mining Co., who controls the whole of the copper district of Michigan, is bent on keeping the number of unem- ployed down to the lowest level, and that is why everybody that is not a permanent resident of these copper | trust towns are told to get out and stay out. The other day a worker, American-born by the way, was found in a camp near Ontonagon, where he had been for 18 days with- out food. The officials put him on the bus and shipped him to Han- cock. Here the officials put him back on the bus and nobody knows where he is today. A very good ex- ample of how they provide for a worker 68 years old. The Unemployed Council of the Trade Union Unity League and the Miners’ Union of the T. U. U. L. are on the job demanding immediate re- lief from the city governments and support for the social insurance bill. “IMPROVEMENTS” | HIT EMPLOYEES All Brunt on Workers None on Bosses (By a Worker Correspondent) STOCKTON, Cal—The city bosses have a new scheme. They are going to pave the streets in Stockton at the expense of the city employes. They have three hundred and fifty- right employes. They are going to take one day’s pay a month from each one. | ‘That will amount to $2,048. This ia be turned over to the improve- ment committee and they will repair the streets and sidewalks, to help the unemployed as they say. They are uso going to discourage all the mar- ried women that work for the city. This is a hell of a stagger. They must have a wise city manager to think of a stagger like this. I wonder if these employes will ever wake up and join the Trade Union Unity League. 1931 CALENDAR FREE!

NEW YORK.—The other day I applied to Tammany’s city employ- ment agency. The hall was packed tightly with jobless men. Very little elbow room here. The fat fellow up in front announced only four jobs for the morning. One of these was for a farm la- borer in Harpersfield, N. Y., at $10 per month. A few of us applied at desk No. 2.

WITCHITA JOBLESS SUFFER HUNGER \Kight Hundred March on City Hall (By = Worker Correspondent) WICHITA, Kansas—The unem- ployment situation here is becoming more alarming with the coming of colder weather. Actual hunger and suffering among the jobless and their dependents. - Admittedly, there are 6,000 facing the winter without jobs and without prospects of get- ting jobs. The other day about 1,000 men gathered in response to an ad for men on a construction job, only to find that there was no job and that the ad was a hoax. After mill- ing around a bit some six or eight hundred marched to the City Hall and demanded an interview with the City Manager. From there they marched to the Court House and called on the County Commissioners. Both City Manager Wells and Chairman Gibson of the County Commissioners addressed the gath- ering. I think both were rather badly frightened, for they stalled and temporized and told the victims how sorry they were. In short, they handed out the usual line of stupid bunk, to the effect that the authori- ties would do all possible to help solve the problem of unemployment,| Which means that they will do noth- ing. Now, the Chamber of Commerce, the predchers and labor fakers have horned in and are doing their darn- edest to lead the movement into a blind alley, so that it will dissipate itself in harmless futility. The Plain- dealer, local organ of the A, F. of L., is pleading with those still at work to donate a day’s pay each week to help feed the hungry, and is warning the Babbitts that unless »something is done, in the way of relief, the jobless will turn to Communism! nln natal G FORCE RELIEF FROM “LABOR” PARTY, SYDNEY, Australia.—Forced by the mass pressure of the unemployed workers here to act the Parliament with a big “labor” party representa- tion voted about two and a half mil- Pay dpllars grant for unemployment The\ “Labor” party which tn the previots administration was the rul- ing y, carried through all the policies the bosses in regards to fighting | demands of the jobless pay rest speeded a aa 2 ty-five fy FEW MEN ON JOB AT BROWN HOIST AVERAGE $12 WK. 150 of 650 Workers Are Left in Plant CLEVELAND, Ohio—Brown and Hoist Co., manufacturers of steam and electric cranes.

They were able to bring hoime a substantial pay check, sometimes averaging $40 a week, Stagger Workers. Of course Brown and Hoist was not | left out when the slump in the indus- | tries came, And this company is one of the many which is carrying out the stagger plan. There now instead of the 650 men only 150 workers left in the plant. on the plan of one week work and one week off. The week the worker is on he does the work of his part- ner; in other words, one week he does two jobs and the next: week he is off. That sounds pretty good, doesn’t it? A real good company. Must make a lot of money! Oh yeah? $12 a Week. ‘When the worker today does the | work of two men he does not bring home a check of $80 for the job. No, these men in Brown & Hoist average $24 a week when they work a full week, which is the pay for two jobs and which has to last them two weeks. This makes an average of $12 a week if they work every day that ‘one week. ‘There many of the men are work- ing only two or three days a week. And this means that they get even Jess than $12 a week. Saturday an- other bunch of men were laid “off. No work till after the new year— maybe. Talking of Conditions. Four months ago it was hard to get the men to talk about conditions during their lunch hour. Since the laying off and reduction in pay, how- ever, every day there are discussions on the hard times and how it is ef- fecting the men right in that shop. OWE CO.

But the foreman told us the day-rate jobs were all filled but that he could give us some digging jobs. ‘Owe Company Money. Now this was piece work at 11 cents a foot; and we were to dig two trenches 15 feet long, 4% to 5 feet deep in a day, besides picking it all loose, as the ground was all hard clay. On account of rain we were not called out before Monday noon, Dec. 1st. At about 3 p. m. my partner, an old man, came to me complaining about his leg and saying that he could not make it, he was all in. So we had supper and quit in the morn- ing, and came back to Kansas City owing the Company money. But as luck would have it for us. We had been working in cuts with 25 to 30 feet embankment. The rain loosened the embankment about 18 feet back on one side and killed seven men; but this news was not published in the capitalist papers. My partners soon came back with the news.

The men report for work at 6:45 a.m, from there we are sent to dif- ferent sections. There the foreman sends the men on different trucks to work and of course the men who have the best pull receiye the best ; toutes. These men collect refuse from stores and restaurants that are supposed to be collected by private contractors, thereby collecting extra money. Feremen Get Money. I am sure that these foremen are being paid by these men so that they can keep these routes steady. The trucks that the department uses are not only a disgrace but also a menace to other drivers. They are not fit to be out in the street and still if a driver refuses to take a truck out that is not fit to be taken out he is fined a day or two of his pay. The conditions at the garage are 169 men and one toilet. There are about 20 lockers that must have been built for midgets. On account of that the men are forced to go home in dirty stinking clothes. Some men who work on top of the trucks are so dirty and filthy thru no fault of their’s are ashamed to ride in a street car or subway and walk home. Long Hours. ‘The hours are supposed to be from 6:45 a. m. until 4 p. m. but some- times the men are forced to work until 6 p.m. 7 p. m. and even 8 o'clock at night without a penny over- time. The bosses are always driving the men and for the least little in- fraction they hand you a complaint. That is providing they know you have no pull. If you complain about the rotten conditions they answer, if you don’t like the job, quit. ‘Well, I for one don’t like the job but I’m not going to quit. I’m going to fight and try to make my fellow workers understand our struggle for more money and better working con- ditions. NEDICK’S SLASHES WAGES BY TEN PC. Get $18 a Week for a Full Week (By a Worker Correspondent.) NEW YORK, N. Y¥.—The Nedick’s stands, the ones that are seen on all busy corners, and which are taken care of by the cheapest labor of its kind in the world’s wealthiest City. One of us (I know about three others besides myself who work in these hen houses) has received up till a little while ago, $20 for eight hours of work, six days a week. He along with the rest of us, has received a ten percent wage cut. When our bosses handed it to us thru the district superintendant, he said that everybody throughout the company was to receive it, even himself. Many of us doubt whether his “salary” was cut at all. He said that many superintendants were to be demoted to managers, with a cor- responding cut in wages. The cause for the gash into our bread and butter was laid to the “depression.” All Nedick’s workers ought to take the tip that the writer has taken and join the Food Workers Industrial Union, 16 West 21st Street that fights against wage cuts and for the better- ment of workers conditions.
