C. Loughery, who nas been writing nice friendly letters of “good advice” of the Bliss Foundry, 58th St., jyn, has just got to the point which | anybody could see he was aiming to reach of his series came Ss ago, and it gets who does not speed up to the Loughery st now than we did a year ago, Other shops are building them cheaper and offering them for less money. take more time to do your part of the work than you did ten months ago you are increasing the cost of our pr ducing the cost of theirs. “If you do not want to be laid off you should take a less number of hours to finish your parts than you did a year ago...” and Loughery winds think it over, laid off Keeps the Profits! There you have it! Not one word about the company’s cutting down It may save you being on the profits it twists out of the} speeded workers, threatened and ter- torized over lnsing their jobs. The employers’ answer to the crisis all the capitalists have made by not pay- ing the workers enough to buy the stuff that is produced, is just to speed them up, get more work out of them for less money and keep his individual profits going as high as possible. ‘The Loughery letters have been a whole campaign of lies and attempts to trick the workers into working harder, giving more to the company and getting less for themselves. The first letter, about two weeks ago, was quite friendly, claimed to be trying to keep everybody at work because a lay-off in one shop reduced the chances to work in another, The writer didn’t go on and point out the natural conclusion from this that speed-up in one shop would lay men off in another, or in the same shop for that matter. The second letter was a little more direct. It, indicated that the work- ers in each shop should, compete with the workers in other shops-——so more presses could be built, and, though he didn’t say it, so all the employers could make more profits, and, since one man does two men's work, so that one man can be fired.

The New York District of the Interna- tional Labor Defense is fighting, though its attorney, Isaac Shorr, to secure a voluntary departure for} Bebrits to Soviet Russia. Bebrits was arrested shortly after the Fish Committee issued its pro- posals for the suppression of the revolutionary movement in this coun- try. His arrest was the Hoover gov- ernment’s reply to Bebrits’ militant testimony before the Fish Committee and indicated its determination to carry into effect Fish’s fascist pro- posals even before congress had acted upon them. The Department of La- bor, working hand in hand with fas- cist governments abroad, is trying to deliver Bebrits into the hands of the Horthy-Bethlen government of Hun- gary, which would mean death or Jong imprisonment for this militant leader of the Hungarian working class. Only the mass pressure of the American workers, in support of the fight of the I. L. D., can save Bebrits and force the government to grant |a voluntary departure to the Soviet Union, The New York District of the In- | ternational Labor Defense announces that it has just succeeded in securing the right of voluntary departure to the Soviet Union for Nick Milich, a militant South Slav worker who was arrested for deportation to fascist Jugo-Slavia. Food Workers Fight Injunction by A F L In Coney Isle Strikes NEW YORK.—The Food Workers’ Industrial Union is conducting strikes | at David Blank’s “Station Market” at 15 St. and Kings Highway, and at Coney Island Ave. and 12th St., where there is one market called “The Wil- low” and another a few doors away called “The Manor,” both owned by a certain Bicker. The Kings Highway market has been struck for the last three weeks, and the others are in their sécond week. After the workers in these markets struck, under the leadership of the Food Workers’ Industrial Union, the A. F. L, clerks’ union came in and signed a contract with the bosses for worse conditions and agreed to fur- nish scabs and get an injunction against the strikers. In spite of the injunction, continuous picketing is going on, Many arrests have been instigated by A. F. L. business agent, Rothberg. Led by the Food Workers’ Indus- trial Union, the strikers are deter- mined to smash the injunction and win the strikes. = All Comraaesa Meet at BRONSTEIN’S Vegetarian Health Restaurant 558 Claremont Parkway, Bronx SPEED PLANS FOR MONSTER MAY FIRST DEMONSTRATION NEW YORK—%55 delegates from dozens of shops, trade unions, work- ers fraternal and cultural organiza- tions, including delegates from A, F.| of L. local unions, delegates of unem- ployed councils, workers ex-service- | men, Women’s Councils, League of} Struggle for Negro Rights and oth- ers, representing in all several hun- dred workers’ organizations with a | membership mounting up into the thousands, completed plans yesterday | at the Manhattan Lyceum for the gi- | | gantic mass demonstration on May | First which will assemble at Madi- | Son Square Park at noon, and pro- ceed in a march to Union Square. | Resolutions were passed with great | | enthusiasm demanding the immedi- Vane release of the nine Negro work- | ing class boys about to be legally |iynched by the white ruling class of | this country, and against the at- tempt to railroad five silk strikers in Patterson, N.

Rybicki Admits Less | | Than 10 Per Cent Get | Jobs in City Agency | NE WYORK.—Out of 49,537 who japplied for jobs since August at the | City Free Employment Agency, only | 4,131 have been given jobs, and out of $1,186,360 raised by the Mayor's Committee for relief, over $850,288 came from the tax on the wages of | city employees. These were the facts revealed by Edward C. Rybicki, chief | of the free employment bureau, in a| East Side Communist Council in the, Bowery Y. M. C. A. | They prove in cold figures that the | whole city welfare scheme is a trick | to loot the wages of the unfortunate | city workers, who have to pay or take the consequences, and that as a job| agency, the Tammany fake on Leon- ard and Church is admittedly a failure, The Down Town Council of the Unemployed holds daily meetings be- fore this agency, at 11:30 a, m. and speakers point out the fraud the city is running and urge the jobless to organize in a struggle for real relief.
