I worked | in the silver mines and we used to drill 6 holes at 6 feet deep, which | was called a day's work, and in this tunnel workers have to drill 9 holes | 12 fet deep and tear down the ma-| chinery and connections, load the; holes with powder, and blast, and) only then do they call it a day’s| work.

If anyone is interested in Patrick McGovern | concern and workers in them tunnels | go on Vernon Ave. in Astoria, where | they have their own private hospital- | like affair, and you will see as many | as 75 men, some with missing fin- gers, others with broken heads, and still ‘others with smashed bones, scratched faces and what not, com- ing for the treatment, and when it comes to get compensatign, colored people are treated worse than any other. Workers in the tunnels are com- posed mostly of colored workers. A. F. of L. Wants Money Only. ‘There are five delegates of the A.

They are interested in dollars only and they have a hard time to collect any money lately be- case the colored.fellows refuse to be ‘obbed of their hard-earned money. I have never seen a group! of people who can be more oppressed in their performance of work than these tunnel workers, and if our T. U, U.

Gertexponsént) NEW HAVEN, Conn.—While the Opponents of the Soviet Government are doing their best to create a feel- ing of hatred amongst the workers | ‘against the only workers’ country, there is nothing in their own capi- talist system that4s not full of graft and corfuption. This graft they try to cover up. Here in New Hayen even the public dumps are sources of graft. This is what one can see at these dumps. They are situated on Welton Street et the extreme northeastern end of the city. In close proximity is an- @ther dump’ controlled by the town @f Hamden. The Hamden dump is bossed by an éy soldier while the New Haven dump is possed by an ex-cop. Each of these men receive thirty- five cents per hour and they are em- Ployed every day in the week with no lay off. Other men that are em- ployed at the dumps get three days work every two or three months. so wooden boxes, metal cases and hun- dreds of bottles. Many of the unem- ployed workers in this ¢lty would be On the Bread Lines to End Bread Lin Tens of thousands of aged workers who were thrown out of the fi tories, are forced to go on the breadlines to eke out a miserable existence. For years these workers have given their very life blood to build the fabulous profits that the bosses are now wallowing In, Now they are discarded with no provision made for their upkeep and they have only the breadlines to go to for “relief.” Old unemployed workers, join the hunger marches during January to wrench bread and unemployment insurance from the moncy bloated bosses.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—At the an- nual mid-winter meeting of the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Co, Dr. | A. A.

AMERICAN SUGAR Low Wages Were Paid When Working (By 8 Worker Correspondent) BALTIMORE, Md.—The employees of the American Sugar Refining Co in Baltimore here were notified that they are laid off for two weeks. More than four hundred workers will be affected by this “period of starva- tion.” It is rumored that even after the two weeks are up many of the workers will never be rehired. Girls working in the Dominoe Building were given a red ticket, which is the same as a dismissal. The only priv- ilege attached to a red ticket is that | the employees can come back after| cop as he brazenly sw | the two weeks is up and get rehired if the company wants to take them on. A Pay Cut Scheme, It 1s a good trick, as the company considers that instead of just laying | them off it is better to wash thelr | | hands altogether from the employees | by firing them. This will give the company a chance to rehire hun- dreds of other workers at a lower wage. For the sake of publicity the bosses’ papers will feature the hiring of hundreds of employees with a2 glaring headline: “Employment Picks Up, Hundreds of Workers Taken On at the American Sugar Refinery.” Thus the workers will think that unemployment is all over with. Everybody is sore, even the little bosses, especially the ones with big families are boiling mad over the way they have been laid off.
