12,000 U. S. FACTORIES MOBILIZED FOR WAR (CONTINUED YRUB FAGE ONED (By a Worker Correspondent) the bullet making department of the Frankford Arsenal, Phila- | delphia, are working at top speed putting out various types of | bullets=— They are making three principal kinds of bullets. (1) 45-ealiber for a Col revolver, (2) 50-caliber aircraft bul- lets and:50-caliber machine g bullets un bullets, (3) 30-caliber rifle hich are produced in the largest quantity because these arecommonly used for rifles in actual warfare. Invaddition to these bullets, two new types are being pro- duced—the pierce armor bullet bullet for anti-aircraft purposes. The tracer bullet contains a certain chem- ical which leaves a trail of flame to designate the direction of the firing. Every finishing machine lets out 1,400 bullets per hour. It was diffi- cult to determiffie the number of such machines; ‘but the number was suffi- cient to keep a department of 500} men and women busy. The entire department is mechan- ized to the last word of technic, everythiny is moving on transmission belts, say ag every possible amount | of humar labor. In spite of the fact that hardly any skill is required to tend the machine, the majority of the workers are adult men and wo- men, of native stock, very, few young workers. ie eee | PARK DAVIS FILLING WAR <ADRDERS (By a Worker Correspondent) DETROIT, Mich—I am working here in the Park and Dayis pharma- ceutical larity which is one of the largest of its Kind in the land. For the last few weeks unusually large orders have been received from the medical departments of the army, marine corps and especially the navy for every conceivable item of am- bulatory service, field hospitals, etc. These orders are already on pro- duction in every department. The other day I had the oppor- tunity to look oyer the whole list of ordered supplies and a glance at the quantity of each leaves not the slight- est doubt in my mind that the Wall/ St, government is preparing to turn the big guns loose and fertilize the soil with the blood of the masses. | I am sure all these tens of thou- sands of tons of nitro-cellulose, T. (of all calibers) and the tracer N. T. and other “innocent” powders | fare not being sent to France and Japan jost to sprinkle bed-bug in- fested mattresses. ee ota FROM A JERSEY MUNITION PLANT (By a Worker Correspondent.) | | PICATING, N, J.—The government | controlled munition factory in this/ |town, the Picating Munition Plant, | has been working feverishly for some time, producing shells ranging from 16-inch down to gas bombs and other | | kinds of war materials. ‘This material is being shipped to various places, including the Philip- pines, Mexico and Galveston, Texas. Now that the eneire building is packed with munitions and millions | of big shells are lying in the yard, the government seems to be satisfied. They have laid off about 2,000 work- ers in the last three months. To get a job in this place one must fill out an application which asks all manner of questions. A worker must go to a notary public or @ justice of the peace and then to a doctor before he is admitted to the plant. ‘The wages in this plant are not wonderful. In the powder room the’ workers get $5.20 a day and their lives are in danger every minute. | Experienced laborers get $4.84 a day and the ordinary laborers get $4.32. All of us workers get choked ‘with the powder (T.N.T.). It gets in our lungs and makes it very hard for us to eat anything. The bosses never try to do anything to protect the workers, Now there are rumors than an 111 per cent wage-cut is going to take place in the near future. be thé‘6ffly “speaker, Ri Spécial steps were taken to mi priate. ‘than ever. a fedération of workers choruses unusual. — after the gigantic mass parade to Wm.

May Day last year was recognized by the capitalist class as an indica- tion of the growing discipline on the part of the workers. This year must outstrip even last year’s manifasta- tion, j In order that this demonstration may be carried through in the best organized proletarian manner, the fol- lowing must be strictly observed: 1,—Every worker belonging to an organization must be at the place assigned to this organization not later! than 11 o'clock non. 2.—The captains appointed by the organizations are those in charge, and there must be no disputing with the| instructions of the captains, who in} turn have received their instruction from the United Front Committee. 3.—All members of mass and fra~ teranl organizations, who are also| members of the unions, must march | with their respective unions. 4.—At the Square, there must be no frolicking and picnic making, as is too often evident at Union Square. Each worker must realize that May Day is not a holiday, but a day of struggle. 5.—During the demonstration at the Square, there must be real discipline. This means the colsest attention to the speakers, the stopping of all lit- tle meetings, conversations, etc., and the putting down of any attempt to provoke disorder. 6—When the march begins, fol- low your captain who will carry out the instructions according to the plan laid down. 7.—On the march, do everything possible to create enthusiasm, shout slogans, and draw workers into the march along the lines, 8.—Do not break ranks. Your cap- tains know what is to be done in your section. 9.—At Rutgers Square, where the meeting will be a short one, march in proper lines and disband as indi- cated by the Chairman at the meet- ing. 10.—All workers are to go to the| Bronx Coliseum for the indoor celeb~ ration. There will be ushers in charge, and all other workers must be saeted, maintaining the same discipline as is necessary throughout the day. ‘There will be only one speaker, Com- rade Foster, followed by an excellent program. The celebration will last only a short time, and must be held with the mass enthusiasm and de- termination that shall be maintained throughout the day. 11.—Young workers are inclined to be frolicksome, and although no ef- fort should be made to put it down, nevertheless, the young workers must recognize the need of restaint in con- formity with the spirit of struggle of the day, 12.—Special attention must be given to the Pioneers and young children who can be easily exhausted by stand- ing at the Square and on the march. Undoubtedly throughout the day, gangsters and stolo-pigeons will do everything possible to cause disorder, We muts not allow ourselves to be provoked, but on the contrary, with Hall Demonstration,” presented by firmness withstand any attempt to disrupt the May Day demonstration, the W. 1.
