DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, MONDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1931 KAYSER HOSIERY CO. WORKERS ORGANIZING AGAINST WAGE-SLASH Pay Cut In Half; Girls In Mesh Department Earn Less Than $10 Per Week Workers Begin Organizing Shop Committees to Lay Basis for Struggle (By a Worker Correspondent) NEW YORK.—A few weeks ago some papers were given out in front of our shop by the National Textile Workers Union. These papers were darned good ones. They spoke of, the’ con- ditions and rotten pay that we workers get. It also told us how to better these conditions, and that it, by organizing groups in every department to fight for better conditions. _No sooner did the bosses see that the workers took these papers willingly, than they got all hot and scared, and the very next day their official company detective went through the whole plant, snooping around. Ever front. of the factory earlier than ever. ‘The bosses are up in the air, because they are afraid that we workers are beginning to realize the need of or- ganization. After reading these papers, I de- cided that it might be of interest to other workers to hear something of what is going on in the Kayser Hos- jery Co, Some time ago Kayser’s was considered a good place to work in. Now it is a regular hole. In the last two years, our wages have been cut in half. We get cuts regularly, two to three times a year. A worker mak- ing $30 to $35 two years ago now considers $15 a good wage. Those making $75-$80, like the knitters, are lucky to get $35 today. In nearly every department the workers never get a full day’s work. Stagger System If you want to see the stagger sys- tem, here it is: $n the knitting de- partment, 10 machines have been shut down completely. Those knitters working on these machines have either been doubled up, or laid off. ‘The entire department works only since then, he has been out in ® on examining work every other day. In other departments workers wait for work, and don’t get paid a cent for waiting time. ‘The busiest department is the mesh hosiery department. Many of the girls from glove and underwear de- partment have been put on mesh hosiery because their own work is so slow. That sounds all right, but that it not all. They get $10 a week for the first couple of weeks and then put on piece work. You have to break your neck to come up to $10 on piece work, and many of them don’t even come near it, Organizing Gruops Some of the workers are already organizing groups in their depart- ments. We've got to have all the workers with us. Kicking alone means losing your job. We have to organize with the National Textile Workers Union for @ real fight for better con- ditions. Editorial Note—On Dec. 7 the knitters of the Kayser mill received « ‘three and three-quarter days a week. @ wage-cut of 31 per cent. The girl In the underwear department, girls toppers’ pay was slashed 20 per cent. Pioneer Writes of Police Terror in Cal. Los Angeles, Cal. Daily Worker: My daddy and 10 other comrades are on trial here for "disturbing the peace and blocking the traffic.” They were arrested at the Philharmonic auditorium where they were trying to hold a protest meeting called by the Mooney-Harlan Conference. The meeting was broken up by the police, Ten of the comrades were arrested not including my daddy. But the next day the police came to the store where my daddy works and ar- rested him, These comrades have been on trial for over a month and the case is not over yet. They are being defended by the International Labor Defense, BERNICE SANDLER A Young Pioneer. Brisbane Goes on Whitewashing Crusade (By 2 Worker Correspondent) LAS VEGAS, Nev.—Arthur Bris- bane, Hearst’s high paid word slinger, was invited by the Six Companies to come here and whitewash the Boul- der Dam job. How nobly Mr. Bris- bane rose to the occasion. He will forever receive the undying. gratitude of all the profit hungry bosses of the Six Companies. The day before Brisbane was to ar- tive, Las Vegas was ransacked for the best of food, regardless of price. A sumptuous feast was prepared. Mr. Brisbane ate this meal at the table of the Six Companies officials. He was solemnly assured that the workers were fed the same. He expressed sur- prise at the excellence and variety of the food. Brisbane fired a barrage of ques- tions at the Six Company officials. The answers to the questions were, of course, unanimously favorable to the Six Companes. The strike, he was assured, was of no consequence— a thing of the past, something to be forgotten. He was assured that the strike was caused by the heat. Great care was taken that he did not ap- proach closer than 50 feet to any of the workers, He was taken in charge by Norman Gallison, director of public and press relations for the Six Companies, and with a couple of engineers was shown the project, ‘The conspiracy of silence of the American press will, at last, be broken by a complete whitewash. Mother capitalism takes care of her children. Worker Scores Michigan Brutality Chicago, Tl. Daily Worker: Tam not a Communist, nor do I belong to any organization. I read in the Chicago papers about the beat- ing of unemployed men and women at Pontiac, Mich. A man, the father of seven children, asking for relief taken out by-a mob of christians and beaten. Of all the things I have ever heard of in my life (1 am 48 years old) that is the worst. I heard people say, in commenting on this outrage, that in few more years we in America will be like the Russian people were under the Czar—and I guess they are right when things happen like they did in Pontiac: It sure is time the workingclass did something about things like this, ‘There is not much freedom left when workers can be handled in this man- ner. They talk about hell. Weil, if you want to see hell come to Chicago and you will sure see hell for the working men and women and their children. On the lake shore one can see the rich driving about in the best cars that money can buy giving their poodle dogs an airing. Many people told me three years ago that I was radical, but today some of these same people have lost their little money in the bank crashes or some real estate or bond scheme. Now you should here them talk. I get the Daily Worker on news- and read it and pass it along. Best luck to the Daily Worker, a true workingman’s paper. Iv M.D, Building Trade Workers Win Strike . (By = Worker Correspondent) NEW YORK.—There is a general feeling in the New York builidng trades that the wage scale will be discontinued after the first of the year as predicted in the Daily Worker some montrs ago. On the last job where I worked the following happened. Although it was a’ public school house, there was a strike because the contractors were not paying union wages to the me- chanics. We won by holding up the work up a week. The boss had to give in or forfeit the contract. Twelve Hour Day in Tammany Hospitals ‘By a Worker Correspondent) NEW YORK.—Mayor Walker says he wants to give work to the unem- ployed but he works men twelve hours per day and gives them one day off every two weeks. This is at the Met- ropolitan Hospital on Welfare Island and at Bellevue Hospital at 26th St. and First Ave., and at all city hos- pitals for“that matter. This applies to orderlies, groundmen, kit- chenmen attendants. They work are hungry. If the workers get sick on the job an” are off more than three days then they are fired. The milk that is given to the pa- tients in the hospital does not con- tain butter fat, At the Metropolitan Hospital cans of milk that have stood over night do not have any cream on the top showing that the milk is skimmed or from the cream separator. ‘There are plenty of bed bugs in the hospital and many of the patients bitten up with them. more men could be em- ployed In all the city hospitals several are if they were put on an 8-hour day.

MASS PRESSURE WINS KENMOTSU ASYLUM IN USSR Braulioa Orozco, One of Imperial Valley Prisoners, Released SAN FRANCISCO., Dec. 13—The International Labor Defense a n- nounces that it procured voluntary departure to the Soviet Union for Kenmostu, who was being threatened for the past three years to be handed over to fascist Japan by the U. 8S. immigration officials. The International Labor Defense, backed by masses of workers, fought a hard battle to prevent the depor- tation of his Japanese worker and finally succeeded in arranging for Kenmotsu to leave on Dec. 16 on the SS. Witram for Bremen from where he will proceed to Berlin where a visa to the Soviet Union awaits him. He will then proceed to the U.S.S.R. where political asylum was offered him by the workers’ government. Orozco Released. Braulioa Orozco, one of the seven Imperial Valley prisoners, was re- leased from San Quentin, Dec. 10 and has alrady been deported to Mexico, according to the provision of his pa- role. In both cases it was protests led by the International Labor De- fense that forced the release of these workers, The first group of the twenty-five workers who were arrested at the December 1st Tom Mooney demon- stration in San Francisco will go on trial in Judge Schoenfield’s court on Monday, Dec. 14 at 2 p.m. Several workers including Frank Spector, or- ganizer of the IL.D., will defend themselves in court. A jury trial was demanded in all cases. Soviet “Forced Labor”—Bedacht’ serfes in pamphlet form at 10 cents per copy. Read it—Spread it? N. Y. Tabloid Fears Jobless Militaney Forced to Take Stand on Jobless Insurance The New York Evening Graphic of Saturday, December 12 warns editor- ially against the mounting militancy of the unemployed millions, admit- ting that the charity relief system is bankrupt and cautiously hinting at the need for unemployment insurance to prevent the complete destruction of the capitalist system by a social resolution. “If we do not, we invite the bit- terness to become demonical fury. Then we will have something far worse than a depression to deal with,” the Graphic says. The editorial, typcially McFadden in its hypocritical demagogy is forced to admit that the unemployed are asking themselves why the rich and their hangers-on live m luxury while they (the jobless) and their families starve. This generates bitterness and Class hatred, the Graphic warns, ‘The paragraph hinting at unem- ployment insurance says: “We cannot stagnate. We must progress, But we must keep that man off the bench in the park. We must feed and clothe his children. Most important, we must take the bitterness out of his heart. We can do these things, if we want to, by simple, means which have already been suggested. It may be the dole system, though that is hardly likely. Unemployment insurance sounds like a better answer, Whatever it is, we must do it now before the next depression sends that man (the unemployed) back to the snow and the cold and the bitter thoughts he must have waiting on the bench in the park.” It is characteristic of this dema- gogy that it avoids the clear cut de- mand for unemployment insurance by the Federal government, vaguely implying that each capitalist concern should apply its own insurance. This is @ hypocritical evaston of the de- mand for real, effective unemploy- ment insurance paid by the bosses and the Federal government and ad- ministered by the workers them- selves, Only the Trade Union Unity League and the Communist Party fights for this demand. Break Down Capitalist Lies! Organize the Masses! | eee there is a burning need for you to lay aside every illusion that the Hars of the capitalist class are attempting to deceive you with. Foremost among these lies is the one that—‘Prosperity will soon come back—and then everybody will have jobs.” There is even the at- | tempt to make you believe that “if war comes—jobs will come with it.” Nothing could be falser than this ghoulish and devilish lie to lead you on'to your own destruction and death! You must get rid of this false hope—and understand that NEVER AGAIN WILL THE OLD “GooD TIMES” COME BACK, SO LONG AS CAPITALISM LASTS! e While the brazen-faced liars are trying to fool you, their les are exploded by the most outstanding economic experts of capitalism itself. ‘Thus, only last week, the famous British economist, Sir George Paish declared that unless something is done. at once, the whole world eco- nomic system of capitalism will break down in “about two months.” Now, whether Paish be correct or not, comes Laurerice N. Sloan, vice president of the Standard Statistical Service, one of the most capitalistic of capitalist experts, speaking to the American Vocational Association in New York on Dec. 10, which the N. Y. Times of Dec, 11 reports in part as follows: “After predicting that not more than 85 per cent of those em-~- ployed before the depression will be needed when prosperity returns, to produce the same amount of goods, because of advances in indus- trial tohnology, Laurence N. Sloan declared yesterday that the plea for » shorter working day and week was sheer ‘economic heresy.’ ‘The American worker, he also asserted, must accept wage-cuts as inevitable, for business leaders ‘neither can nor will absorb the differential’ ” Here, workers, you have the experts of capitalism laying down the rules in cold blood for the guidance of capitalists in exploiting, robbing and starving of you and your class. Where, in this analysis of Mr. Sloan is any room for workers to hope for capitalism again to “give everybody jobs”? NOWHERE—NOT EVEN IN CASE OF WAR! In case of war, you will have the “job” of having to be gassed and blown to pieces as soldiers—or even as workers, for the next war will bring death and destruction everywhere—not only on the “front.” Look, workers, at the cold facts! Sloan says that even with industry producing at full capacity—and he remarks further on that he sees no emergence from the “depression” until—“perhaps eighteen months hence” —only 85 per cent of the number of workers employed in 1929 would be | given jobs by the private owners of capitalist industry! What does that mean? Firstly, remember that, among the estimated total of 35,000,000 wage earners in America in 1929, there were already at that time, no less than 3,000,000 unemployed. Harvard in 1929 estimated the figure even then at 8,000,000!) If there were 32,000,000 then having jobs, Sloan’s prediction that “eighteen months hence”—and “perhaps’—85 per cent ,of these would be enough to produce all goods, then at least 4,800,000 must be added to those 3,000,000—making by capitalism’s own figures at least 7,800,000 among the totally and permanently unemployed! But this is not all! For every year, the American working class raises up as new workers, not less than 2,000,000 youth entering—or try- ing to enter—industry! As this process does not stop during the crisis, but rather intensifies, between 1929 and the time when Sloan’s “eighteen months hence” are up—no less than 7,000,000 more workers will enter the labor market from the youth alone! And thus the army of the permanently unemployed rises—according to the most conservative of capitalist opinion—to a total of 14,800,000 by the middle of 1933! Where, workers, can you find any hope of a way out under eapi- talism? Nowhere! And Mr. Sloan coldbloodedly repudiates the expecta- | tion held out to you by reformist deceives that capitalism will, by its own | “generosity” to the workers, “grant” such a thing as “the shorter work- ing day and week.” This, says Sloan, is an “economic heresy” for capi- talism. The capitalists will take every advance your weakness may give them, to increase hours, and speed-up, and lower wages! Further, says Sloan, the capitalists must insist on wage cuts—which he states left-handedly by saying that “the workers must accept wage cuts.” He puts it this way because, in cold reality, what is really done depends not upon what the capitalists want, BUT WHAT THE WORK- ERS WILL ACCEPT—OR REFUSE TO ACCEPT! Thus, workers, we come to the fact that all the schemes of the capi- talists depend upon WHAT THE WORKERS DO! The capitalists, headed by Hoover, have laid plans for a Hunger Program that the workers are supposed to “accept.” Every effort is being made by force and deceit to COMPEL the workers to “accept” mass starvation, suicide, death and | disease, under the disguise of “unemployment relief” by local charity, served with the sauce of hope that “prosperity will soon return—and everybody will have jobs”! ‘The great National Hunger March tore away the lie that Hoover's “relief” is “adequate”! It exposed the capitalist plan to starve millions of workers rather than give up the profits piled up by the billionaires! The Hunger March pointed the way to the starving masses to struggle for their own way out! To struggle for Unemployment Insurance! At full wages, at the cost of the capitalists and their government—and ad- | ministered by the workers! The workers must be rid of all illusions as to the “return of pros- perity” and the possibility of “jobs for all”! The fight must be taken to every street of every city in the country, and enlarged around the neces- sary but narrow struggle for immediate relief to the destitute, to a higher and fiercer struggle against any and all capitalist authority for Unemployment Insurance! Workers, you must free yourselves of all lies and deceit put out by capitalist propagandists who aim to fool you and keep you quiet—and starving! You must struggle or die! AND YOU WILL STRUGGLE! EVERYWHERE THE MASSES ARE READY FOR STRUGGLE, AND THE NATIONAL HUNGER MARCH CAN AND MUST BE FOLLOWED BY THE ORGANIZATION OF MILLIONS!

Sending 15,000 New Troops to Man- cburia, Admission that the new cabinet is an expression of the desire of the Japanese imperialists for a more brazen policy of robbery and mur- der in Manchuria is contained in dispatches from Tokyo. The new Cabinet is reported preparing to send an additional Japanese army of 15,000 to Manchoria in an effort to crush the rising resistance of the workers and peasant masses. A new drive is planned to seize Chinchow. This will still further increase the menace of military provocation and attack against the Soviet Union. Hugh Byas, New York Times cor- respondent in Tokyo and @ scoun- drelly apologist for Japanese aggres- sions in Manchuria writes in a dis- patch to his paper: “Japan’s solution of the Man- churian, problem—which simply is to maintain prosperity so that the South Manchuria railway and Jap- anese economic interests may flour- ish—is held to be impossible unless Chinchow is cleared.” ‘The Japanese seizure of Manchuria having been legalized by the United States and the League of Nations Council under a screen of deceptive pacifist gestures, the Japanese forces are rapidly fortifying their positions, in Ine with the openly admitted plans of the imperialists to convert Manchuria into a military base against the Soviet Union. Americans and other foreigners in Shanghai held a meeting yesterday demanding action by the imperialist powers against the Chinese masses and the powerful anti-imperialist movement which has swept Shanghai, ‘No@king and scores of other call for new murderous attacks on the Chinese masses is especially dir- ected against the Chinese Soviets and the Red Army, which are recognized by the imperialist bandits as the only champion of the independence, integ- rity and freedom of China, and as their enemy. Chinese Soviets Appeal to Masses. districts in China have issued an The governments of the Soviet appeal to the working clas¢ and Peasant masses in connection with the imperialist drive of the Japan- ese in Manchuria. The appeal points out that only the Soviet Power can fight effectively against foreign imperialism. The Soviet power stands for the non-recogni- tion of all, unequal treatiec, of all foreign debts to the imperialist armed forces, and the confiscation of the property of the imperialists in China, Imperialist exploitation and oppression has ceased to exist in the Soviet districts. Washington Fears Chinese Mass Fight. The imperialists are increasingly alarmed at the rapid growth of the anti-imperialist movement in China. A Washington dispatch to the New York World-Telegram admits: “That the plan of settlement ar- ranged by the League will satisfy the popular clamor is refuted by the Chinese masses themselves.
