This demonstration will be the first answer to the Fish Committee’s roposals that the working class nowspapers be banned from the mails, These weekly papers were selected as the first ones to be banned because the bosses thought that the banning of a weekly paper will not bring much protest on the part of the working class. The workers realize, however, that this is just the beginning of the attack against the working class press and are therefore mobilizing for an effective protest this Saturday at 1 p.m. In view of the fact that the sup- pression affects the workers general- ly, the children, Spanish workers, young workers, Negro workers, all the their membership for demonstration.

In the midst of wealth that the Beth- Jehem steel workers have created with their dwn hands, they are noti- fied by posted bulletins that a wage cut will go into effect Feb. 1, of ten percent for the openers in the Tin mill. For more than a half year now, the Openers have been working on a starvation wage as a result of the part time work. Their wages were lowered by the small rates on light gauge tin, where they were forced to divide the small tonnage rate be- tween three men. In the same de- partment other workers are getting hit with a speed-up scheme. The shears are going to be changed in a position that will force the shearman to do twice as much work. This change will eliminate the feed boy which ts the object of the bos- ses in their greed for more profits, In order to break the solidarity of the openers and the shearman, the bosses have revealed that they may give a five percent increase in pay. How- ever this wont make up for the two wage cuts that was given to the shear- man in the last year at the same time the Hot Mill workers were out. It will be an inhuman speed-up and longer hours. In order to prevent the whole mill from putting up a fight against wage cuts, the bosses shrewdly make wage cuts in one department, then go over to another department. The workers of the whole tin mill are aware of this policy and are’showing the deep- est discontent and mood for strike, because they know that they will be the next department to get a wage Theatre Guild Predertions “~~; Green Grow the Lilacs GUILDE.
