f ¥ 3ETHLEHEM STEEL TIN ~WORKERS MUST SLAVE 10 HRS. DAILY FOR 75c Tin Decorating Lengthens Hours But Reduces Wages From 25 Cents to 22 Cents Fire Scrap and. Feed Boys, Force Others to Do Man Job BALTIMORE, Md.—In the Federal Tin Co. there are about 500 workers, including 200 young workers and 100 chil-| dren. These work at a stretch of 10 hours a day at a wage ranging from $2 to $5.25 a week. The children getting the lower wage of $2 and the young workers getting sometimes the $5.25. When I say sometimes, I mean: that the Federal Tin changes hands so many times that these young workers very rarely see the miserable sum of $5.25. The bulk of the work- ers in this hell-hole is made up of young workers who are lured in on &@ promise of a job. The tin they work with is cheap and it is a common thing there to have a finger cut off. There is not a breath of air in the whole place. There are so many changes that it is hard to organize these workers, The Tin Decorating Co. had about 1,500 young workers. The hours had been lengthened and the wages de- creased to 22 cents an hour instead of 25 cents as it used to be. The next wage-cut was the placing of every worker on a piece-work basis and not allowing any of them to leave, since each person depends on the other for material. This, of course, gives a profit to the bosses. ‘The workers make $9 a week under a terrific speed-up.

The wage-cuts which have taken place during the last year in the mill have affected the young workers espe- cially, Through the system of put- ting in machinery—the shearmen helpers, or feed boys are going to be fired, the scrap boys, too—auto- matic handovers will be installed and the shearmen will have to do the work themselves.

At Union Park, where the demon- stration started, 15,000 workers crowded about the speakers’ stand and thousands more crowded the ad- joining streets. Headed by a band, the parade was in seven sections, each section sub- divided and headed by banners nam- ing the organizations marching be- hind.

Thousands Wait to Join. ‘Thousands meanwhile had gath- ered near Westside Auditorjum, awaiting the parade and rally sched- uled there. After both auditorium halls were filled to overflow the crowd numbered over 12,000, ‘The procession was made vivid by huge cartoons painted in silhouette by John Reed Club members and mounted on tall poles. A huge fish surveyed his report; “Hoover's Pros- perity Is Right Around the Corner,” painted on four sides of a square, evoked considerable laughter. 500 Pioneers, The Pioneer section, containing over 500 children, some in khaki blouses and red ties, but all wearing a bit of red somewhere, were a par- ticularly colorful sight.

The Public Square was packed with something like 10,000 to 15,000 people at the height of the demonstration, and about twice as many workers joined in the aetual parade as last year. Seven were-ar- | rested for speaking from the Sol- diers’ and Sailors’ Monument. Mounted police charged recklessly into the crowd, clubbing as they went, but as fast as one speaker was arrested another took his place. |The speakers resisted arrest, continuing to speak as long as was physically possible and shouting out working class slogans as they were dragged away. ‘The demonstration on the Square, the march down St. Clair Ave. and the further meeting at Marquette and St. Clair gave a splendid send- off to Cleveland's 75 hunger march- ers,| The great outpouring of the workers was powerful evidence of working class support for the de- mands they are carrying to Columbus for unemployment ‘insurance and immediate relief. Cheer Kassay. One of the most loudly cheered speakers was Paul Kassay, marked for a boss class frame-up to terrorize wholesale wage cuts taking place. Cleveland’s celebration of May Day started early in the morning, when workers in all parts of the city start- ed rallying to march on the Square. There were several hundred on the Sq long before the demonstra- tion was scheduled to begin, and by the time the red banners were raised over Tom Johnson's statue the Square was thronged, As each line of march arrived in good order be- hind scores of banners of the differ- ent organizations participating, it was greeted with loud cheers,, In organization” and effective spread-out tle demonstration was one of the best Cleveland has seen. Red banners proudly waved over all in the center and the other banners were evenly spread out on all sides. The ‘crowds overflowed from the northwest section to all other parts of the Square, and one of the larg- est groups listened, to the bigs from the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ mon. ument, - "Resist Police Attack. It was here that the police attack occurred, Rudolph Shohan, organizer of the Young Communist League, ‘was speaking when the cops came up and tried to pull him down, He re- sisted, however, and continued speak- ing until dragged down by brute force.| The attack on Shohan was the signal for mounted police to ride into the crowd clubbing as they went. Jennie Cooper, International Labor Defense organizer, was up speaking immediately Shohan was stopped. ported, But so militant had the mood of the workers become by this time that the police began to fear for themselves and did not dare to drag her down until she had spoken for some time. But they finally got her too, and then five other workers one after an- other—August Onusk, Martin Si- wecki, Thomas Benbow, John Taw- twid and Louis Kovach, They were all held in the Central Station “on open charges for investigation.” At 1 p.m. the main May Day pa- rade began, with red flags at its head, There were more than 1,000, six abreast in the actual line of march and hundreds more workers accompanied the march on the side~ walks. Better discipline was pre- served than in any previous march and the lines were absolutely un- broken in the long hike to 55th St. and St, Clair,| As the long and close- packed parade proceeded under its forest of banners with their working class demands, workers throng to factory gates and windows and onto the sidewalk. Foremen and other bosses could be seen in front, anxi- ously watching their workers lest they too should join the demonstra- tion, A big crowd had gathered at 55th | and St. Clair to greet the parade and | there were several thousand in the send-off demofstration there.
