Language Locals F Hillman Machine Aids Bosses; Speed Up the! Workers; Has High Salaries (By a Worker Correspondent) ROCHESTER, N. Y.—The men’s clothing workers of Rochester are | beginning to show fight against the Amalgamated machine and the terrible conditions that they force upon the workers. The burning issue at this moment is the question of dues. The Amalgamated machine has helped to put across every wage-cut. every new method of speed-up, and has done all in its power to help the bosses. But the high dues.and.the. high salaries ; ott of officials have remained the same. When the so-called season started this fall, workers who had been un- for a long time given and $2.50 because of ‘time work, and yet were forced thru the check-off *system to pay $1.75 each week on their back due jocals.

Among the articles received is the following one, part of which we are printing here before sending it on to “Trud”, as an example of what other work- er correspondents can write in the next few days: * . JAMESTOWN, N. ¥. — The work- ers here are tremendously interested in the progress and the victories of the Soviet Union. ‘We have had many moving pictures here produced in the Soviet Union, and the work- ers have jammed the hall every time. Every time the Red Army, Lenin or Stalin has been shown, workers have shown their solidarity by deafening outbursts of applause. USSR Gives Workers Courage. One worker tells me, “It gives me courage to overthrow this damned system over here, when I see how complete is the victory that the workers in the Soviet Union have established. Of course the capital- ist press lies about them, but we know that is because they are afraid of the workers’ power, and afraid of what the workers here will do when they wake up and take everything that the capitalists now own.” Conditions here in Jamestown are rotten, and the workers ate exploited in the worst ,way. There is forced labor in Jamestown. Workers who have to go to the Poor Department for their lousy food order (averag- ing about 10 cents a dey) have to work out their orders on construc- tion jobs. Workers are burning oil lamps because their lights have been turned off, If a man is single he gets no relfef. ‘ In the factories the workers get as Jow as 10 cents an hour, and in some factories they have a contract sys- tem whereby a worker is allowed a certain number of hours to finish a job, and if he can’t he must finish it on his own time. Now winter is coming on. + Last winter the gas company turned off GENERALS’ WAR IN Worker Correspondence Worker Correspondents of US Greet Workers of USSR on 15th Year of Power The Daily Worker recently received a cable from “Trud”, the trade | | union paper issued by the workers of the Soviet Union, which contained your leaders, the Vander EASE IMMEDIATELY ARRANGE SENDING SEVERAL WORK- ERS’ CORRES" ~"™DENCES DESCRIBING CRISIS UNEMPLOYMENT USSR CONNECTION WITH FIF- TEENTH ANNIVERSARY, TRUD.” In accordance with this message@— the gas from 478 homes. The work- ets are realizing that their only hope is in the Communist Party and its program of unemployment insurance, and defense of the Soviet Union. One thing is certain, that the workers here are getting real facts about the achievements of the proletariat in Russia. They know that the Soviets are struggling against great odds, but as one worker said, “Hell, they are creating commodities for themselves, not the bosses.” U.S. Agents Pushes Anti-Red Bill In / Argentina BUENOS AIRES, Oct. 6.—A bill has been brought into parliament | here whidh calls for the “suppression of communism and the registration of communists,” Propaganda for com- munism is to be punished with no less than two years’ imprisonment. Any- body offering assistance to Commu- nists is also liable to imprisonment. Foreign born workers are to be de- ported after serving their term. The originator of this bill, Senator, Sanchez Sorondo, was the representa- tive of U. S. financial interests in the Uriburu regime, Sorondo bears a large share of the responsibility for the crimes of this regime, including the shooting of hundreds of workers. He is regarded as “the strong man” behind the government. In the meantij the Communist Party in Argentina is steadily growing despite the offensive being carried on against it. The newly founded “Mundo Obrero” reached a circulation of 16,000 in the first few weeks, despite the fact that its sale is prohibited on the stands.
