When the new models came out last August, the fendermen were getting one dol- lar for shaping and finishing of that monstrous fender. The polishers were receiving thirty-five cents for their work on the front fenders. Later on the bosses found a way to fool these workers with the group piece-work, A sign was put up in the shop, ordering the men to. pro- duce at least eleven of these fenders otherwise discharge will follow, Seven was the limit a man could produce before. The men tried their best, but not all of them were able to hand out to the boss that required amount of work. Some were discharged and the rest kept under terrorism of the henchmen. With the length of the time the boss reached his goal, and of these fenders per nine-hour day. If anyone talks organization, he sure won't last very long here. —F. S. Half of New York Plumbers Are Unemployed New York, N. Y. Daily Worker: ‘The conditions among the plum- bers are very bad. More than half of the men are unemployed. Those who work are subject to wage-cuts and speed-up. Among the A. F. of L, union men the situation is not better. An un- official wage-cut has taken place with the consent of the A. F, of L. officials. The business agents, not being able to get much graft from the bosses as before, have looted the treasury and the local unions are bankrupt. If a member dares to raise his voice against the sell-outs of the union officials he is fined and stands the loss of his job, ‘To eliminate these conditions, the plumbers’ group of the building and construction workers’ industrial Jeague calls upon the plumbers and their helpers to organize into a mili- tant organization which fights against the bosses and the union Officials; which fights against, wage- cuts and speed-up. Michigan Bill to Force Purchase of Prison Goods Grand Rapids, Mich. Daily Worker: The Grand Rapids Press carries the following: “A bill, which proponents claim would enlarge the field of employ- ment for state prisoners without serious competition with free labor by forcing the state to buy prison made produce, was introduced in the legislature today. “It would require prisoners in state institutions and the Detroit house of correction to be employed in the manufacture of products and supplies suitable for use in governmental enterprises.” Convict Labor Tt seems to me that this sort of thing is a direct assault on free labor. If the bill is passed, what will it mean to the unemployed man or woman without visible means of ex- istence? | It means that we who have no | jobs will be arrested on vagrancy | charges or any sort of charge for | that matter, and drafted into these |prison factories and be forced to | work for just what is handed out | to us, | While we shall be in there, other charges will be trumped up against us (especially if we be good workers), so that they can keep us there until we are too old, and of no further use to them, then to be thrown out to starve in the streets. Workers, let's get wise to these dangers that threaten us before it is too late. Join the Unemployed Coun- system. = Unemployed Worker. Unemployment, in Boise, Idaho Grows Worse Dear Comrades: I am writing you to let you know that the conditions here are growing worse and worse day by day. ‘We have 1,180 persons on the bread lines here and about 4,000 unemploy- ed and others that are on part time on cut wages, Farmers are paying $20 to $40 for board and a few are paying $10 per month. The men start working at 3.30 and work until 9 p.m. They get good board and sleep in the cow shed. Sleeping On Banks The city is hiring a few men at $2.25 per day. Only married men are hired. I am called an anarchist for giving the Daily Worker out to the poor working men. Some of the automo- bile men have me give them six to seven copies. They show them in their stores. There are about fifty men sleep- ing on the banks of the Boise River without any bedding. Yet it is doing good as some of them have begun to want to read the Daily Worker. The mills and the elevators are piled to the roofs with flour and grain and wholesale houses stacked full with groceries, yet hundreds are starving. —T. P. Many Jobless Bricklayers Suspended from Union Salt Lake City, Utah, Daily Worker: I would like to tell something to every bricklayer, mason and plas- terer who has been suspended from the International Union for fail- ure of payment of dues to the in- ternational officers and district bu- reaucrats, The workers who are members of this union have helped in pay- ments to build the gigantic sky- seraper, the International building jin Indianapolis, Ind. But our | dreams have been shattered by these bureaucrats during the de- pression, At normal times the Interna- tional officers give you a lift with one hand and with the pther hand turn your pocketbooks inside out, Brother workers, don’t be fooled as Jimmy Curtiss of Local No, 2 in Detroit, Mich. was, Old Jim has been a member of the Interna- tional and in good standing for 35 years. Now he has been suspended for failure of payment of dues. He was given the “privilege” of re- maining at the county poor house, where I have visited and inter- viewed him, Old Jim still foolishly hopes to get back in the union, on the hopes that the president of Local 2, Rob- ert G. Ewald, who is also a eity councilman, will get Jimmy on the county payroll. Ewald gets $100 weekly from the local and since he is also city eoun- cilman of Detroit, Mich. he gets $6,000 a@ year here. This same crook, Ewald, has his brother-in- law sworn in as deputy sheriff and has given him a job juperin tendent of the local, because of his brother-in-law’s former experience as janitor of a livery stable. The wunemployed workers of Wayne County have no place to hang their hats except in the county poorhouse. The richest man in the world lives in this town, Henry Ford.

The League also sent a telegram to the young victims of this latest frame-up of workers, addressed to Charles Weems, 20, the oldest of the eight boys, at Scottsboro City Jail: “Young white and Negro workers of New York realize that you have been framed and are being rail- roaded to the electric chair with your seven comrades. Mobilizing mass protest to demand your re- lease, Will do all in power to free you. Thousands of working youth rallying to fight for you.” All working class organizations are urged to send protest telegrams to the governor of Alabama, Rank and file workers in the A. F. of L. unions must raise the question and make a fight to see that their locals join the growing protest movement against the legal lynching of these Negro Jads. Workers Must Raise Issue Everywhere Members of the reformist Negro organizations must give their support. to the fight to save these framed young workers in defiance of their reformist leaders who have always betrayed the struggles of the Negro masses and cannot be depended upon to rally their organizations for de- fense of these eight young workers.

The I. L. D., in order to make it possible to push this case with the utmost vigor, is calling upon all workers and sympa- thizers to immediately rush funds to its national office, 799 Broadway, New York City so the defense will not be hampered in its work, Every worker, Negro and white, na- tive and foreign born, must take up in his organization this question of financial support for the defense. Collect funds in your shops. Rush money to the I, L, D, for the defense of these eight victims of capitalist “justice.” ————— U. S. SAYS LESS Unemployment Means Food Is Cut Down WASHINGTON, D, C., April 10.— ‘The terrific pressure of the unem- ployment crisis finds expression in the figures on the amount of food consumed, as released, at Jeast in part, by Dd, O. E. Baker, of the Bu- reau of Agricultural Economics of the government’ department of agri- culture. Baker made his report orally, but as he told in the United States Daily of this city he said that flour, a cheap food, was consumed in as great quantity last year as in the year before, but dairy products, meat, and some varieties of fruits and vegetables fell off considerably. The total amount of calories of energy in food consumed was dis- tinctly lower last year than in the year before, which shows that what food eaten was not as good. Baker gives the average flour con- sumption per person in 1930 as 88 hundredths of a barrel, while in 1929 in was 89, However, consumption of of butter fell off two per cent per Person; condensed and evaporated milk six per cent, fresh milk be- tween two and three per cent; meat consumption decreased about five pounds per person. Potatoes used were less, also, foods, making up three-fourths of the total used in the nation, are: flour, dairy products, meat and vegetables. Against persecution of the forelgn-| PASSAIC, N.

Refuse Food and Shelter Chamber of commerce opposition is | responsible for the hostility of the city authorities in Marion, Upper Sandusky, Alliance, Salem and North- field, according to the state com- mittee. In all these cities, both food and shelter have been refused to the unemployed marchers. The mayor of Upper Sandusky openly admitted that his attitude was influenced by chamber of comerce disapproval of the march, In most of the other cities where | the marchers will stop over, however, | pressure from the local unemployed \has forced the mayors to promist lodging, and a number are also prom- ising food. It is noteworthy that in Ashland, where city officials had re- fused the demands of the unemploy- ed, the city council, more susceptible to mass pressure, has recently re- versed this attitude. The council- men now state that they will attempt to obtain food for the hunge rmarch- ers when they stop over in Ashland. Governor Is Silent Governor White of Ohio, probably awaiting more specific orders from his chamber of commerce bosses, has so far made no eo the letter of the Unemployed Couhcils demand- ing food and lodging for the hunger marchers in Columbus. But what- ever his attitude, the workers’ com- mittee there will se that the march- ers get a good reception, Tse use of the State Capitol steps has been secured for a welcoming demonstra- tion on May 10, when the marchers will pour in from all over the state. Revised plans for the hunger march call for five main routes of march. A special miners’ detachment how now been added, to start from Bridgeport, May 3.

BOSSES POSTPONE LEGISLATURE JOBLESS DEMAND famous Passaic strike, will meet in conference on April 15 at: 28 Mon- roe St., at 8 p. m, to organize for May Day and for the carrying thru of an intensive campaign in support of the Communist Party candidates for the city elections that take place May 12, Mass organizations, trade unions, and workers from the shops in and around Passaic are urged to attend this conference. The conditions of the workers in Passaic are unbearable. Thousands of workers are walking the streets looking for a job. The capitalist candidates can offer nothing to the starving families. The Communist Party candidates fight for the Un- employment Insurance Bill as a means of relieving the suffering of the unemployed masses. The workers of Passaic must renew their fighting spirit of 1926.

The workers will gather at the Trade Union Unity League headquarters for @ mobilization meeting half an hour earlier and march from there to the place of demonstration. After the meeting on Broadway and Tower Ave. a march is planned back to headquarters for an organizational meeting. Superior workers will assemble to protest against unemployment, to de- mand immediate relief for the unem- ployed and for the right to organize into militant unions, such as the Trade Union Unity League. In Superior there are about 4,000 unemployed workers starving while millions of bushels of wheat are Stored in the various grain elevators of the city, Hundreds of houses are vacant while unemployed workers are forced to sleep in cellars, in hall- ways and in the unused coke ovens beyond the Third St. viaduct, * ’ * JOHNSTOWN, Pa.

In addition, he demanded a deposit of $250 in cash security in case of “damages.” In spite of these tacties of the bosses a May Day demonstration will be held here, Sikhs Hold Conference LONDON, April 10—The Sikh League conference has opened in Amritsar, India.

BEET WORKERS QUIT BOSS MEET 500 Walk Out and Go to Union Hall DENVER, Colo., April 10—At a meeting of Mexican beet workers and proceeded to headquarters of the Trade Union Unity League, where an enthusiastic mass meeting was held, and forty applications secured to the} Agricultural Workers’ Industrial League, The sugar companies recently cut the guaranteed price of beets to the| farmer from $7.50 to $5.50 per ton. The farmers in turn, through the Beet Growers’ Marketing Associa- tion, cut the contract price to the per acre, a wage-cut of more than| 25 per cent. The meeting was an attempt on} the part of the officials of the sugar companies to smooth the situation | over and induce the workers to take | the cut lying down. Maddox was | pointing out to the workers that “the | situation wasn’t so bad” and even that the reason they were all broke | and facing starvation was because they didn’t save their money. Sev-| eral of the Mexican workers stood up and denounced him in no uncertain | terms. He threatened to call the po- lice and haye them ejected from the hall, Sanchez, organizer of the Agricul- tural Workers’ Industrial League, jumped to his feet and appealed to the workers to walk out of the hall and to enroll in the A. WV. 1. L. The beet workers responded by walking out of the hall in a body and march- ing to T. U. U. L. headquarters, where Sanchez and other speakers ex- plained to them the program of the A, W.1. L. Forty were signed up on the spot and many others indicated their intention of lining up under the banner of the Agricultural Work- ers’ Industrial League, affiliated to the Trade Union Unity League. At the recent District Conference of the A, W. I. L. seven locals met in a two-day session to discuss the coming struggles in the beet fields, affecting 30,000 beet workers, of whom 23,000 are Mexican and Span- ish, The demands worked out by the conference center on the following points: Organization for strikes against the contract system and the | 25 per cent wage-cut; all disputes to be settled by the workers’ grievance committee and not the company rep- resentative; all living quarters must be habitable and sanitary, with fresh water for drinking purposes at the house; free medical and hospital] ser- vice in case of sickness; workers to have the right to obtain their own supplies without assigning wages through the farmer to the merchants, and full payment of wages four days after beets are harvested, ——— SWEDEN STRIKERS REJECT.

He appealed for the establishment of open trade relations, and said: “If there were trade relations be- tween Russia and the United States credit would follow and the smaller exporter would have an opportunity that he has not today.” More news along this line was re- ported from Italy and Germany. The German government is preparing the renewal of the Soviet-German trade treaty, and the Italian government is extending its credit to further Italo- Soviet trade. * bars cou > ir is * But the war front, however, is rapidly extending.
