Daily Worker :— More wage cuts in the Indianapolis Amalagmated Clothing Workers’ shops. Last week, January 9th one of Hill- man’s agents came to this city to help thé Kahn Tailoring Co. and to help the bosses in their crisis. He came in the vest shop to adjust the shop and prices which affected the workers out of their jobs and their pay.

This bloodsucker Frank Rosenblum used different methods. He takes a section by section after a long con- ference with the bosses and when he comes before the workers everything is planned and/done. If the workers object immediately he says. if you say another word its going to be your job. We have hundreds walking the Btreet. —L.

They have the Stagger System there, in which the workers are laid off ten and fifteen at one time, and they are off for two or three weeks end then they are called back, and another bunch are laid off. They pve uring that system to speed up the workers, for if they don’t do as much work as the bosses think they should, then they might only wotk one week after being laid off, and then they get “it” again. Another thing that they use against the workers are the houses owned by the company and renter out to the employees of the company, Any- one living in those houses must take all the wage cuts handed out to them, and ¥f they fight against them then they are served notice to get out, and as the living quarters are scarce around that vicinity they all think twice before fighting against the cut. ‘The only way that we can fight against these rotten conditions is to @fganize into a militant union, the ‘Trade Union Unity League is the only union whose policy is that the workers’ must come first, and to hell with the bosses, : —BRE JAY.

Jobless, Beginning to See Thru! Boss Optimism Bunck | ‘i Baltimore, Md. Daily Worker:— | The capitalist papers of Monday | carried a two inch headine 48,000) new jobs predicted here in 1931.” The bosses and politicians smiled to them- selves with the thought: “there that will hold the unemployed for awhile.”, Rich ladies and small business men were rejoicing to think that the spec- tre of a “workers and farmers gov- ernment” would not appear after all, because won’t there be 48,000 new jobs. Certain sections of workers espe- cially the skilled that always held themsélves hloof of the lesser skilled or non-skilled workers sort of played with their collar and thinking “Well | I won't have to go out on the hunger | march with the other unemployed. | Thousands of the unemployed} thought although with suspicion “we | will just cut down on expenses and | wait for that day of jobs.” | However there are thousands of workers in Baltimoree who haye been without jobs for months and some more than a year who know that this statement of the President of Balti-| more Chamber of Commerce is noth- ing but the bunk just like the “Hoover Prosperity Lies,” “Schwab's Business Picks Up Lies” and the Ford Lies.” This section of workers are now able to see behind the hypocrisy of the boss controlled press. With each new lie they are becoming more deter- mined to fight against such a dam- } nable hypocritical system that plays) around with the hungry bellies of men, women and children, Went Four Days Without Any Food Philadelphia, Pa.

STARVING MUST WAIT FOR WORK Boss’ Dogs However Are Cared For Kansas City, Mo. Daily Worker:— After about two years of lay-offs, wage cuts and shut dewns, the Shef- field Steel Plan at Kansas City is still running at spasmodic intervals. The men whose families are suffering and slowly starving are forced to stay near the plant to be ready to ga to work when the company decides to open up. Because the Company never announces definitely when, they in- tend to open up and if the men are not there when the mill starts they jose their jobs and others are given the work. Consequently the employ+ ment office is crowded at all hours of the night and day with men who are compelled to sleep on the benches and cement floors waiting for a chance to get to work. Company Store § The employees are further ploit- | ed by the company with a system which practically forces the men to| spend, their meager hard’ earnéd| wages at the Company's store andj commissary where they are charged high prices for the necessities of life. As a result of this system many of the| employees do not have any money coming on pay day. While these workers are starving the manager of the Sheffield Steel provided a 160 acre farm for his pet dogs just outsifle of the city. Every conceivable comfort has been provi- ded for his dogs on this farm. These palatial buildings are equipped with | steam heat, electric lights, baths,| steam tables and electric potato} mashers. All this luxury is spent on| his dogs instead of going to the wor- kers who produced it. Workers should organize under the T.U.U.L. to fight against this system. Workers’ Unemployment Insurance Bill The Workers Unemployment Insurance Bill proposes> 1.—Unemployment insurance at the rate of $25 a week for each anemployed worker and $5 additional for each dependant. 2.—The creation of a National Unemployment Insurance Fund to be raised by: (a) using all war funds for unemployment insurance; (b) @ levy on all capital and property in excess of $25,000; (c) = tax on all incomes of $5,000 a year. 3.—That the Unemployment Insurance Fund thus created shall be administered by a Workérs’ Commission elected solely by employed and unemployed workers. All who sign the lists now being circulated by the Workers Na- tional Campaign Committee for Unemployment Insurance or its sub- sidiary organizations, demand that congress shall pass the bill, in its final form as (possibly) amended by the mass meetings which ratify tt and elect the mass delegation to present {t to congress, or as (pos- sibly) amtnded by the mass delegation itself.

All employes that had some kind of a job were compelled to open a charge account in order to ge rid of his Intolerable Conditions. Christmas eve. the girls foufhd out they had no job and no money. The boss told them you charged merchan- dise and we must have our money. But we have nothing to live on. It’s just too bad. But why can’t we pay you half and half later. The boss answered, you don’t find work around the corner and Christmas is far off and I must have mine. It is intolerable and unbearable the conditions we are confronted with. We have a women's Council in Toledo. We must unite. —F.C. 3 “More and More A Worker’s Paper” SAN FRANCISCO, Cal—I_ could not be without the Daily Worker. I think it is becoming more and more @ worker's paper. But would like to make some friendly criticism. I think it was a needless expense to publish that supplement to the Daily Worker ‘concerning the sabatogers’ trial in Moscow. That must of cost several hundred dollars to publish and how Many workers read it? Very few. Workers do not have the time or pa- tience to wade through such long winded articles.

Other units should profit by the mistakes of this unit. Circulation can never be built on haphazard, indiffer- ent attention to the Daily Worker.

BY WORSE CRISIS Fact Is Show Up Boss Optimism Lies Cold, hard facts of the economic crisis just. published effectively punc- ture the campaign of optimism un- dertaken with renewed vigor by the bosses. The steel industry about which so much hot air has been peddled by the capitalist liars re- flects the deep rut of the crisis in all other basic industries. For instance, the New York Times ihdex of steel production printed on Thursday shows that steel production is not rising. Tron Age, leading organ of the steel trusts in its latest issues shows dis- appointment at the failure of the tuch-advertised revival. They say, “Inventory replenishment, which was counted on to stimulate the market generally, has thus far failed to bring out a notable increase in specifica- tions.” They go on to add that “there ig a slow pick-up in general demands.” Steel production is now at 44 per cent of capacity, about 20 per cent below the last year’s figures when the crisis was already throwing millions out of work. All other steel maga- nes are gloomy over the slowness of any increase in steel, when the mills had purposely cut their production to practically nothing at the year end, hoping to start up with a bang. In fact, the Journal of Commerce (Jan. 15) reports that instead of an increase “the steel industry is slow- ing up, that the rapid moment (about three or four per cent) gained as a reaction to the holiday close-downs of plants is spending itself some- what.” For the workers this shows that instead of there being ground for the “optimism” that the bosses try to soread the facts show ‘more unem- Nloyment comting, that the crisis is Boing ta deener levels and greater starvation for the unemployed, and that the greatest mass struele for unemployment. relief will have to be developed.
