j WORKERS UNITED FRONT AGAINST HUNGER, WAR, Slave Labor Hotel DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, THURSDAY, JULY 21, 1932 DEFEAT WAGE CUTS! SUPPORT MINE, TEXTILE STRIKES! in the : New Yorker Waitresses Get $7.50 for Two Weeks Work Laundry Workers Cut By ROSE BARIS About 1,500 workers are employed at the Hotel New Yorker, at 34th St. and Bighth Ave., New York City. These are employed variously as waitresses, chambermaids and in the Jaundries. There are men and women workers of all ages, nationali- ties and races. Even in the so-called “good times” workers in the hotel were getting starvation wages and living from hand to mouth. Conditions have now become even | more unbearable, ‘with repeated wage-cuts and, in addition, the bosses force workers to contribute— out of their mere pittance—to vari- ous fake institutions. Already this year wages have been cut 15 per cent. This June a cut of 5 per cent took place. Talks and ap- peals are made to workers to have them accept these cuts “good-na- turedly.” “Times are bad,” counsel the bosses, “and, besides, there are enough job- less around to fill your plac Petty Robbery. Not only wage-cuts do the Hotel New Yorker bosses put across, but they make each worker give 10 cents weekly to the “block-aiders.” In this way the workers are being milked every week, under one pretense or another, out of their starvation wages. Should any worker dare to contribute, or protest, he or she is immediately fired and the rest are warned that “no kickers are wanted here.” Off from Sun and Air | rich patrons. For the workers there is only hell, To furnish the workers with a bit of air “costs money.” , Dogs get better treatment than these workers. For seven days a| week chambermaids get $10. The bosses who cry “times are bad” have recently bought new carpets, antiques and other decorations with.the “sav-| ings” garnered from the exploitation | of the workers. These “big moguls,” parasites who wander around all day with their hands in their pockets and do noth- ing but smile for their equally para- sitic guests, get between $20,000 and) $40,000 a year. Unfortunately, little organizing has yet taken place among hotel workers. The Food Workers Industrial Union should without delay seek to pene- trate these slaye-labor novela.

In a word: with the bosses taking something off the pay for each of these items, it almost appears that workers are slaving for nothing.

Mostly it is left~ overs already served to the wealthy parasites who are “guests.” Some- times the meat is a week old. The ldimdries are four floors un- derground. The ceiling is extremely low with pipes overhead. The walls are bleak looking, the floors of stone. Not one open window through which to breath fresh air. Always the steam from the machines and pipes and the stench from the wash hovers over- head. The air is damp. The work- ers in the laundry bathe in sweat, nearing suffocation amidst these hellish surroundings. ‘The wages of these laundry work- ers are from $8 to $12. They are forced to work the whole day Sun- day, the last bit of energy driven from them. Although they once re- ceived one meal a day in the hotel, this, too, has now been taken from them. No Sun or Air The packing department, offices, ete., are off in corners where no sun ever reaches. Here workers are forced to work all day under burning elec- ittie lights, without air.

Workers at the meeting described the vicious speed-up system prevailing in the biggest plant in town owned by John A, Roebling, builder of the Brooklyn Bridge. A 15 per cent cut was put over just before Christmas last year, another 10 per cent in the spring, and a third cut hovers over the heads of the men at the present time. Forced Labor Described ‘The unemployed are bitter against the forced labor schemes put over recently by the state. Despite the 1927 state “labor law” which makes it illegal to pay workers in anything but cash, the state is now paying baskets of food mostly canned goods, in return for two days work of eight hours each day for a family of five. To perfect this slavery scheme, the state has hired speed-up experts known as “volunteer” foremen, and at the slightest disagreement with the foremen, workers lose their jobs. Point 5 of the contract which the workers are made to sign says that ‘for insubordination employment will immediately terminate. In addition workers are deprived of accident com- pensation, since Point 6 of the con- tract “says that “the previous pro- visions of Section 11 of the New Jer- sey employment compensation act ate not to apply to your contract of ;employment. You therefore cannot collect benefits for personal injury.” Abolished Previous Laws Thus, as Ford pointed out in his speech, this new “relief” bill abol- ished with one strike the state labor statutes ang workmen’s compensation act. Ford exposed this and cited it asa striking example of the reactionary character of the capitalist way out of the crisis. In his speech h€ also attacked Garner who made a dema- gogic speech about Wall Street ‘running the government,” but who actually helped over measures in the last Congress which were hailed by Henry Hairriman, president of the U. 8. Chamber of Commerce.

CAROLINA SCENE OF BIG FIGHTS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) ployed and part time textile workers and their wives and children in most textile towns. Face Death by Starvation Death by starvation was staring both employed and unemployed southern textile workers in the face. The southern textile workers found themselves completely unorganized. The United Textile Workers had sold them out, collecting scores of thous- ands of dollars in dues, in this and that mill town, and decamped, de- serted the field. The Musteites were sent down to do the job of mopping up for when the orthodox labor fakors sell out and run away, they have the Musteites go down and try to make the- workers forget by the use of fake militant phrases. Unorganized as they were, the In the last few months there have been at least a dozen strikes, in isolated mill towns. There was the strike, for instance of 1,400 workers of the Blue Bell Overall plant in Greensboro. Greensboro, which is 15 miles away the site of the training camp of the: On August First, the workers of! | Bath, in Clearwater ang many other from High Point, where the present strike wave started, is a real textile- boss ruled domain. There the big Cone interests hold sway. There both terror and the “benevolence” method of holding the workers down are in force. Blue Bell Strike The Blue Bell workers struck against a 50 per cent wage cut. Yes, in the South 50 per cent wage cuts are the rule. The strikers elected their own leadership. ‘They fought hard, these Blue Bell strikers. Unorganized as they were, | they foresd the bosses to offer to! compromise on a 25 per cent cut. But the strikers stuck. They finally, went back under a 13 per cent cut. Since then the bosses, through the Bedaux speed-up system have suc- ceeded in taking away the fruits of that partial victory. This was because the workers were unorganized. Then followed in quick succession strikes in textile mills in Langley, in southern mill towns. In all these cases the workers were unorganized. But their fighting spirit was so great that they were able to win partial gains. ‘These strikes helped to pave the way for the big strike that is now sweeping the textile mills and fur- niture plants in the Piedmont area. The Piedmont area has seen some of the greatest strike struggles in the South—indeed in the entire country. ‘The famous Gastonia strike took Place in this section. Here the Na- tional Textile Workers Uyion ied the long, brave battle of workers of the Loray Mills against speed-up and wage cuts, Murder of Ella May _ Ferocious terror featured that strike. Ella May, one of the leaders who came from the workers them- was leading another strike in the American Mills. This was in 1929. N. T. W. U. organizers and strikers were kidnaped, That year occured the big Marion strike, in North Carolina, Here the U. T. W. led by the Musteite Hoff- man, betrayed the workers. The strikers of Marion were told to carry bibles instead of instituting militant action. As a resulto the massacre of six Marion strikers occured, for which Marion Manufacturing Co. and its thugs are responsible, The same Musteites who sold out, with the U. T. W. the strikers of Marion, Elizabethton and other places last year cut the wages of the mem- bers of the Full Fashioned Hosiery Workers Union, which they control, by as high as 50 per cent, in order to “stabilize the industry” and to try to “improve business” for the bosses. This most shameless betrayal by the Musteites of direct conn strike of the North Carolina hosiery workers. How? This wage cut resulted in the further driving down of the wages and conditions of the southern hosi- ery workers. The southern hosiery bosses said, “You see, the wages in the hosiery mills in Reading, Phila- delphia Sanq Milwaukee, have been cut. In order to compete with these northern concerns we must cut the wages here in the hosfery mills in the South.” U. T. W. Betrayers McKeown, Musteite and socialist candidate for mayor of Philadelphia, was one of the leaders in putting through the general hosiery wage cut. The Musteites and the U. T. W. misleaders will undoubtedly be brought into the situation soon in order to seek to behead this mass strike movement of the southern workers, The be warned strikers must jagainst these demagogic fakers. | The N. T. W. U. led the southern workers, right in the present strike area, in heroic struggles, and gained great confidence of the workers in mill towns from Charlotte, N. C. to Greenville, S. C. But the N, T. W. v. failed to follow up the gains it had made in the South, Rank and File Committee It is clear from the history of the Southern textile strikes that unless the strikers form their own rank and | file strike and picket committees and take the leadership in their own hands clering out all company tools, they will not be abl2 to win the struggle. The workers are in need of the National Textile Workers Union that led the Gastonia fight. These workers must be warned against all tricky manuevers of the bosses, fake promises, and against the leaders of the United Textile Workers Union that will attempt to take over the struggle. They must be warned against the U. S. Labor Department médiators who will swarm into the strike area to crush the strike.

C.—On a broad strip of land spreading through the middle of the city of Washington, re- cently taken over by the Federal gov- ernment for rebuilding purposes, live the bulk of the Bonus Army. Here,’ amidst the debris of the torn-down buildings (the Government is rush- ing the work in order to discourage the Bonus Marchers from settling here) or in partly dismantled build- ings from which the plumbing has of twenty to three hundred, some ten thousand men. Another seven or eight thousand men lies in Camp An- acostia, three miles or so from the Capitol ‘The ‘Federal authorities would prefer to have all the men in Anacostia, where Washington would only see the men when so desiring. But for weeks, now, new arrivals have stayed away from Anacostia. It is not only the notorious bulldozing which goes on in Anacostia under Waters’ dictatorship, that keeps the men from going there. Why, they say, you might as well stay home as stick in the mud flats of Anacostia where nobody sees you. Few Have Tents, There are a few forunates who have gotten hold of tents, others sleep in the half-destroyed buildings while housewreckers are working next door, most of the men sleep in makeshift shelters thrown together from old wood. Here and there are a more than usually enterprising group has built an almost weatherproof shanty. As one goes about the city, the sight of men calmly and slowly building themselves new and larger quarters is proof enough that though, with the closing of Congress, some dis- couraged souls may leave, the back- bone of this outfit is here to stay. The men take turns at making meals and Keeping quarters cléan. In ovens made of bricks and pieces of sheet iron, they cook and bake whatever food they manage to get hold of. There is a loosely organized general commissary for the Bonus Army as a whole, but the distribution is obviously unequal. The commis- sary is under the conrtol of Giass- ford’s police, due to the supineness and cap in hand policy of Waters and his gang; and they, of course, bene- fit most at the hands of police. NOT the men under Waters; as 4 matter of fact, the men in Anacostia ear more poorly than those outside; but the best that is in the commissary goes to the special kitchen for Wat- er’s Military Police, to the Officers’ kitchen, to certain outfits who re- quire cajoling or bribing. For in- stance, while Robertson of California was making his bid all last week to take away the commandership from Waters, the mey loyal to him were eating much better than usual. 1 learned, quite accidentally but ac- curately, that Robertson was drawing his food not through the commissary but directly from General Glassford! Fortunately, most of the groups are able to supplement the food supplied them from the commissary, with fodstuffs sent them by their local communities, or donated by sympa- thizers within a two hundred mile radius of Washington. Their trucks are always coming and going along the roads; it is, by the way, these trucks going to pick up food, Photo- graphs of which appear throughout |the country over the caption: “Bonus Marchers Leaving Washington.” The food, according to the luck of @ group, may vary anywhere from a good soup, baked fish, succotash and potatoes—one meal I sav, but I must KANSAS WORKERS CLUBBED BY COPS Riot Suad Breaks Up Meeting of Jobless KANSAS CITY, Mo, July 20.— Several workers were viciously club- bed and beaten when the riot squad broke up a meeting here this after- noon of about 600 unemployed, All the incidentals of war were called into play by the police, including guns, ete, Though the police shot to- ward the workers no one was wound- ed, The police broke the meetings with their guns at the direct ordcrs of | er, was clubbed over the head and | cut by Police Captain Beatty.
