Rotten Work Means) Less Wages (By a Worker Correspondent) PITTSBURGH, Cal—The rolling mill at the U.S. Steel plant here is down to three ‘days, But the steel is So rotten and so much time is taken to gage the stee] that the daily earn~ ings are no more than half what they were, ‘The stagger system has been in- troduced in the foundry department and the bosses are going to start it im other departments. The sheet mill and the tin mill get 3 or 4 days a week and the’ fron is so poor that the screw boys, singler boys and doublers hardly make $3.50 a day. ‘The nail mill usually gets only two days, sometimes three a week. Pace Worse Conditions. The California steel workers face even worse conditions when the slump in public buildings sets in. And all of us American steel workers wilt be cut drastically when the American steel bosses follow the Ger~ man bosses who have driven the German workers to the poverty line with wage-cuts'and the English mill ewners who plan to cut wages 50 per cent. So with our standard of living al- ready cut in half (if we are working) the bosses will try to force us even below what we now consider an ex- istence level. Keep Up Profits. Meanwhile the steel bosses have raised the price of steel $1 a ton to kep their swollen profits up. And’ here. in Pittsburgh the com~ -- gnunity “unemployment relief” com- mittee, headed by boss Haynes of the steel company and Barnes of the lo- eal chamber of commerce, squabbles with. the Salvation Army because they. have tried to horn in on local « Gharity, The bosses are afraid if the “army” shakes the workers loose . from all their change the bosses will have to cough up some dough for the fake relief. = . .

Meetings are being held over the Pacific North- west by the trainmen and conduc~ tors for the purpose of ratifying the plans sent out from the labor or~ ganjzations’ headquarters and as a result of conferences in Chicago, for the trainmen and conductors to lay off each month after they have got~ ten in a certain number of days, in order that the unemployed may get in a few days’ work. ° It is admitted that thos that have to lay off will get a reduced pay check, and that the unemployed that get work as a result of such a plan will play tag with starvation As a brakeman said to me the other day, “The plan does not, in the way of jrelief, begin to scratch the unem- ployment problem, and is put out, in my opinion, as a feeler for further are not the ones to solve the unem- ployed problem, we are not respon- sible for or the cause of the labor- saving machinery introduced in the last ten years. dues to the orders to pay the salaries and expenses of leaders to look after our interests and not the interests of. the railroad owners.” Another said if the bosses had proposed this plan, that means if it means anything, a wage reduction. We would have been pretty hostile, over and get away with it a whole lot easier than the bosses ever would have. Many of us have families, and need all we can make, and besides no job is secure these days.

C., Dec. 25.— Legge,, the chairman of the federal farm board, is going just wild over the situation. After trying desper- ately for an embargo on the Soviet Union, cooking up all sorts of crazy theories about insignificant sales of Soviet wheat in the United States causing the collapse of prices, he has had to face one of the capitalist rivals. Legge would much rather fight Russia than the British Em- pire, but competition is getting ter- rible, Legge has bought up $75,000,000 worth of wheat and can’t sell it. So yesterday he allowed Senator Capper of Kansas to make public a letter from Legge calling for an em- bargo on Canadian wheat, Yesterday, also, Representative Summers (Rep. of Washington) stated that he had written the tariff commission urging it to use the flex- | ible provision to raise the duty on | wheat to 63 cents a bushel. | reeeived since December 5-8, 1980. |'They produce twice as much as they Organize a Worcorr Group in your city or town.

In Germany the churches are sunported by taxes immosed on their followers and collected by the state. The re- gult is that millionse f people who are no longer church supporters are compelled to pay taxes for the sup- port of the churches.
