CRIES “WAGE CUTS ARE A NECESSITY” “New Machinery Installed to Replace Workers; ‘ Force Reduced All Along the Line : Workers in Desperate Position; Look to T U U L for Leadership (By A Former Yorkville Mill Slave) YORKVILLE, Ohio.—‘W: ‘age-cutting a necessity”. This has been the cry of the Wheeling Steel Corp. particularly at Yorkville, Ohio, for several years. They have reduced wages to such a point that starvation is New machinery and efficiency: methods are also strong contributing factors to the workers’ deplorable condition, “Improved Methods. My.....,the efficiency expert, who holds the position of assistant sup- erintendent, has reduced the working force all along the line, by using “dmproved methods.” Thereby caus- mg untold suffering for the worker and his family. It is presumed that he is working on @ contract basis. That is, he re- ceives a stipulated sum, providing he reduces costs to a certain point. just around the corne Bartering the bread of starving and semi-starving workers, women and children for a few paltry dollars. Workers Ready to Fight. As a result of the company policy, hdwever, conditions have brought the workers to the place where they are ripe for revolt. All that is required for the workers to seek to remedy conditions is for someone to start it, If responsible and capable organ- izers who are not affiliated with the A, F. of L. unions, were to go to Yorkville, Ohio—now, they would find plenty of assistance from un- expected sources. Boise Jobless Forced To Boise, Idaho. Daily Worker: TI am writing you to let you know that conditions are getting worse here every day. The streets are lined with jobless workers and 99 per cent of them are begging for food. 1,100 of these jobless workers have demanded from the mayor that he give them fobs. But of course they were re- fused. Many good workers are forced to slave on farms just for their board. Sleep on River Banks Some are working on Dairy Farms for the measly sum of $20 a month. These workers begin at 3:30 a. m. and work until 9 p.m, I have seen at least 100 of these jobless workers asleep on the river banks, these go without any food sometimes for three days. Then there is the lockup of the First, National Bank, of about $20,000,000 of gold coin and yet the bankers are still trying to squeeze the last cent from the farmers. A Comrade. Seamen Forced to Slave 13 Hours a Day for Thirty-Five Dollars a Month Baltimore, Md. Daily Worker :— On March 5, I shipped on the S.S. Governor Lind. It is owned and op- erated by the Bull Insular Line. I will try to explain some of the miserable conditions the crew was forced to suffer from. The stables hich answered as crews quarters vere cold and chilly due to an im- poverished heating system. The mess boy was forced to attend to three mess-room besides assisting the cook. This kept him busy for more than 13 hours a day. For this slavery he received the pitiful sum of $35 a month, Water leaked always into the mess-rooms. We thust organize and fight against these conditios. —A Seafaring Worker. Two Chicago Banks Crash On “Jubilee Week” (By a Worker Correspondent) CHICAGO, Il—Recently there was considerable noise made by the ‘Tribune and other papers about so- called “Jubilee Week,” which was or- ganized to “pep up” business for the big grafters, store keepers and other big bellies and to humbug the work- ers who still have a few pennies left into spending them. Tt was indeed a jubilee week. Two northside banks: the Second Hum- bolt State and the Albany State Bank: closed their doors. All the savings of the workers were lost. This was a jubilee for the bosses, you bet —but hell for the workers who lost their money. We should organize Workers De- positors Association and demand that the fat bankers pay the workers back in full at once. We can force them to do it if we organize strong enough. Texas Oil Workers Must Work 12 Hours Daily; : Get 25 Cents Pay Cut Breckinbridge, Texas. Daily Worker: The pumpers in this oi] field work a 12-hour tower, They work from noon to midnight. The pumpers had formally received $5.25 per day, out of which they were forced to furnish their own gasoline and lubrucating oil Their average mileage per tower is 25 miles. Now the bosses have forced @ wage-cut on the oil workers, taking 25 cents off per day. The bos- ses have suspended the vacation and 5 days without pay each month is lopped off the pay check. Then the workers from the Texas Oil Co are forced to purchase stock from the Co. The last issue cost the workers 48; the price is now 20. ‘The company even wrote a letter to employes advocating loyalty to the Co., in the matter of keeping stock and paying it out. BLE.

German Communists Gain in City Vote: Fascists in Clash (Cable By Inprecorr.) _ BERLIN, May 14.—Municipa! elec- tions in Kalkberg gave the Commu- nist Party five seats as against four for the socialists, four for the bour- geois parties, four for the fascists and one for the centrists. Yesterday evening a fierce colli- sion occurred jn Friedrich ‘Strasse between the Hitler and Stennes fac- tion of the fascists at a meeting.

F. of L. fakers, while ad- mitting that 5,000 miners, their wives and children are starving to death in the Harlan, Kentucky, coal fields, tries to make the miners believe that their plight is due to the fact that they did not continue to let the United Mine Workers’ officials con- tinue to mislead them. “Labor,” of course, does not men- tion a word about the A.

Yet “Labor” admits gun- men run riot in Harlan. “Armed guards—‘gun thugs,’ the workers call them—swarm through- out the region and are dealing ing of endless discontent and ha- tred.

National Guard troops are patroling the area and martial law has been de- clared.” But not one word about the A, F. of L. and United Mine Workers’ of- ficials calling in these National Guard troops to shoot down miners who refuse to die of hunger. Now the mine bosses, through Judge A, M. J. Cochran, have ob- tained an injunction against stri ing miners. The permanent injunc: tion was handed out in London, Ky., by the Federal Court to the P. V. and K. Coal Co., and to the Black Moun- tain Coal Co, The judge ruled that the operators had the right to force roughly with those who incur their enmity or anger.

In the meantime, the mass pro- test against this outrage continues with unabating thunder as addi- tional masses and organizations are drawn into the struggle to save the boys. Last night, a telegram of pro- test was sent the governor of Ala- bama and Judge J. A. Hawkins from a membership meeting of the Office Workers’ Union in New York City. The telegram pledged the office workers of New York to support the fight until the boys are freed. es ee Mass Support for Baltimore Scotts- boro Conference.

REGISTER NOW FOR THE SCHOOL Summer School to Give Basie Subjects With the opening of the summer term of the Workers School drawing near, many workers have registered for the important courses offered. Heavy registrations are especially re- corded in such courses as Funda- mentals of Communism, Political Economy and Leninism. Two classes in Fundamentals of Communism are to be conducted by Comrades M. dJames/ and V. Jerome on Monday and Thursday evenings respectively.

Eight of these were women workers. reported that “nearly a thousand{ persons gathered at the factory tof prevent the girls who had been st | ing for the past two weeks from! getting into the building. Besides, an injunction has been| gotten out by the bosses. The U. S. marshal has been called to help* break the strike, and the union offi- cials of the International Ladies’ Garment Union are trying to keep back the militancy of the workers, thereby playing the role of strike- breakers. ‘The supposed-to-be leaders of the | strike, Gilbert of the International es Garment Workers Union and r of the Trades Council, were! though they knew very well that the only way to keep out the scabs was by picketing. But the workers re- alized that they will lose the strike unless they have mass picketing in front of the factory. ‘Thursday night there was supposed to be a ke meeting, but, when the strikers and miners came to the meeting place at the Miners’ Temple they found neither Jester nor Gil- bert, but were told to go home by one of the officials of the Temple While on Wednesday night, when a meeting was held, Ben Gilbert was seen at a show in St. Louis and Jes- ter was telling thé workers not to jburn July 10 on a vicious frame-up go on the picket line and not to get into trouble.

(Cable By Inprecorr) BERLIN, May 13.—The Interna tional Trade Union Committee of Negro Workers has issued an appeal to the workers of the whole world to rally to the fight to smash the Scotts- boro frame-up and save the lives of the nine innocent Negro children eight of whom have been condemned by the Alabama boss courts to burn in the electric chair on July 10. The appeal declares, in part: Bight Negro boys have been framed-up on the charge of two no. torious white prostitutes and sen tenced to die by electrocution on July 10 by a farcical speedy trial of ca Pitalist ‘justice’ in the State of Ala bama, U. 5. A “The frame-up to burn these eight young Negro workers in Alabama fa but a link in the chain of imperial- ist terror against the Negro workers in order to stop their growing mili- tancy. The frame-up to ‘legally’ lynch these boys by the steel barons and landlords of Alabama is an attempt to destroy and outlaw the Commun- ist Party and the revolutionary trade {unions and their growing influence among the Negro workers. This is a crime against the working class. “These eight workers are sentenced to die on July 10. The International Trade Union Committee of Negro Workers calls upon the international working class to rally to the support, of our class brothers.

FORCE FREEDOM OF Y. STROMBERG Supr. Court Changes Cal, Court Decision WASHINGTON, D. C.—Due to the intensive campaign waged by the International Labor Defense, and mass support given it, the Supreme | Court of the United States reversed decision of the District Court of Ap- peals of California convicting Yetta Stromberg, 19-year-old member of the Young Communist League, for flying the red flag at a children’s camp, The decision as handed down by} Chief Justice Hughes makes it a matter of technical interpretation of | the California red flag law. In the best sanctimonious and| hypocritical manner of the chief judicial organ of the capitalist class the decision says in part in com- menting on the California “red flag” law: “We have no reason to doubt the validity of the second and third clauses of the statute as construed by the sttae court to relate to such incitements to violence. “The question is thus narrowed to that of the validity of the first clause, that is, with respect to the display of the flag ‘as a sign, sym- bol, or emblem of opposition to or- ganized government. . . . The State court recognized the indefiniteness and ambiguity of the clause. The court considered that it might be construed as embracing conduct which the state could not constitu- tionally prohibit.” ‘The clause was “repugnant to the guarantee of liberty contained in the Fourteenth Amendment. “The first clause of the statute, being invalid upon its face, the con- viction of the appellant, which so far as the record discloses may have rested upon that clause exclusively, must be set aside.” The State statute makes it a felony to “display any red flag or other device in any public place or from any building as a sign, symbol or emblem of opposition to organized government, or as an invitation or stimulus to anarchistic action, or as an aid to propaganda that is of se- We already Use your Red Shock Troop List every day un your job.
