Both the so-called platforms of the Big Bosses’ Parties are silent on the question of unemployment insurance. although they both carry a weak and Inadequate statement on the appall- ing effects of the economic crisis on the workers and farmers of New Jersey. With over five hundred thousand workers unemployed in the state, wage cut after wage cut is being forced upon those remaining at work reducing the already miserable wage. This is accompanied by the most terrific speed-up and long nours. The stagger system is being mtroduced, which still further re- aces the workers’ income far below the subsistence level. Jobless Got No Relief. The New Jersey state and city gov- *rnments do nothing to help these Shousands of jobless workers. Out of the score of millions of dollars annually appropriated by the state egislature, now under the control of doth democrats an republicans, not me penny is devoted to relieve dis- ‘ress among the jobless workers and their families.

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. few words about the conditions of the workers in the Lefkowitz Leather Shop. Just one year ago we were working for $18 to $23 a week. To- day we are putting out more work We are working than ever before, for $10 to $14 a week for the same production. Today there are just one-half of the workers left in the shop. In other words, 75 workers are doing the work that took previously 150 workers to do it. The motto of the bosses is to make two men out of one. This is what is going on in the Lefkowitz shop today. We are forced to slave the whole day without a stop, in one breath. One department in our shop is called the “rush room,” that is the girls room where they slave away for $7 or $8 for a whole week. Many times the girls have to work over time in order to get the work out All they get for it 1s on occasional thanks from our parasites, the bos- ses, then the boss takes his share with a big smile on his pan. ways wet and hale the steam from the chemical which is very injurious to the health of the workers, All workers in the Morgan Laun- dry Service are urged to organize and fight against these conditions.
