In a period of “so-called prosperity” | when there was plenty of orders in sight, the Bethlehem office that han- the plants constantly set demands for increased production and each week | would witness “an increased tonnage scheduled for the week.” The depart- ments were getting “quotas” to fill that would at times be unrealizeable. however with pressure on the workers, introducing the speed-up schemes and with a “tonnage scale” that was s0| low the workers were compelled to increase production to make enough to live on. For example the 110 inch plate mill was runing on a 2 turn basis—10 hours each turn, but with the in- increased orders the workers were put on 3—8 hour turns. The hours of the workers were reduced but the tonnage rate was not increased. This was a loss of 20 per cent in wages| which the worker was allowed to| make up if he produced the same ton- | nage—8 hours for 10 hours. Now with | the decline of steel construction and etc., the 110 inch mill has reverted back to the 10 hour basis on the stag- ger system plan.

Tacoma Bosses Now Rule Workers Must Pav to Even Lodge in Prison TACOMA, Wash.—Workers here are not going to be given free board here anywhere, it seems—not even in jail. Recently a Chinese was arrested and held for deportation, and sentenced. He appealed the case. Not being wealthy (or he probably never would have been ar- rested in the first place), he couldn't afford to put up money for bail. The court decided that he could appeal the case, and could remain in jail until it came up for trial, only if he paid 60 cents a day for board in advance, The papers here and in Seattle remark that this is a very good idea since it will cut out a lot of appeals that “shouldn't be made.” That is, it would make it almost impossible for a worker to appeal a case unless he had a lot of money. And if it were some worker whom they wanted to keep from appeal- ing they could make the bail so high he couldn't raise it, and then post- pone the case so long that he couldn't pay board.
