EAL ES ES a” aS _DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 13, 19 Page Thre International ~ Notes By ROBERT HAMILTON MINERS WIN VICTORY IN SCOTLAND HURLFORD, Ayshire, Nov. 29. (By Mail) —The miners at the Dallars pit in Hurlford have won a great vic- tory. They restarted work today after being out on strike since No- vember 4th against the dismissal of a number of men. The men resumed work on the following terms: 1. All miners to be reinstated inconditionally. 2. No future veitimization. 3. No reduction in ton rates. The management also agreed to discuss with the pit committee all questions arising in the mine. At the comencement of the strike a strike committee was elected, com- posed of members of the United Mineworkers of Scotland (the revolu- tionary union), the reformist union and the unorganized. The U. M. 8. orginizers were very prominent in the strike and successfully fought the efforts of Smith and Brown, the re- formist leaders to split the strikers’ ranks and break the strike. This victory has heartened the miners throughout the area and considerably | increased the influence of the Red} miners’ union, This strike victory should be an inspiration and an example to all workers strikes can be waged and won even in a depression—only a mi- litant attitude ever wins any con- cessions from the exploiting class. DENMARK DESTROYS BEEF COPENHAGEN, Nov. 23, (By Mail). —High grade foodstuffs are con- tinually being destroyed in all cap- italist countries. Just a short time ago Brazil reported the burning of 10,000,000 sacks of coffee to keep| prices from dropping. Now Denmark has refused to send 2,500 milech cows that have run dry to the packing houses, as usual, for slaughtering. To keep the price of beef high, the ani- | mals were burned in the so-called “destruction,” and incinerated to fer- tilizer powder and glue. This report revals the insane an- | archy of the capitalist system. Mil- lions.are starving and can’t buy any meat, while valuable foodstuffs are | destroyed to keep prices, and profits | high.

To the extent that the city govern- ments show they realize the impor- tance of preventing the delegates from coming home and reporting, so should the workers, employed and} unemployed, realize the necessity of | assembling and hearing their dele- gates report. This was done in Bing- hampton, in spite of all police oppo- sition, and is being done by the re- assembled western marchers, ant ee Crash Through In Binghampton. BINGHAMPTON, N. Y., Dec. 12. State, county, and city officials and police, armed to the teeth barred Column 7 of the National Hunger March from entering to stop over here where local workers had as- sembled food and provided shelter for them. The armed forces of the lor cal and state government drove the main body of Column 7 past the city, aml toward Syracuse. The police however were surprised when they found out that the thir-| teen Binghamton delegates slipped through the police lines and appeared at the arranged mass meeting and Jeyorted to the local workers. In spite of the fact that the police hai put a ban on this meeting and had announced through the papers that under no circumstances would a meeting be allowed, the delegates, with the militant support of the lo- cal workers, held a very successful and enthusiastic meeting even though the scene around the meeting hall resembled an armed camp. The workers in Binghamton were enraged by the actions of the city authorities, and resolutions of pro- test were drawn up and adopted and immediately sent to the city mayor and the different councilmen. The workers pledged themselves, in view of the actions of the local authori- ‘ies to do all in their power to help develop the struggles of the unem- ployed, and pledged their solidarity and determination to struggle local police terror. Immediate, Relief OHICAGO, Tll,, Dec, 12—Approxi- mately ninety per cent of the de- mands, especially for grocery orders and clothing orders to be issued with- in. 48 hours were won, when a broad committee of 32 unemployed workers, elected by Council 38 of 5132 South State Street, forced Mrs, Warner, the sul of the Oakwood Relief Station to listen to their grievances, The workers applying for relief at this station had been abused and mis- treated. Police harrassed them con- tinuously. Promises to investigate eases were never carried out. Unem- ployed council committees were al- lowed only three days a week in which to bring complaints, After the second interview starving families had to wait weeks and often months for relief, In the “hog-killer” room, as the workers named the waiting room, a cop drew his gun when the committee demanded to see the supervisor. This aroused the anger of the workers and they forced him to make a hasty retreat. si ‘The following demands were won: Immediate grocery orders to all cases presented, ve given within 48 hows, given urs, to*case against the Win Seas Vinee | tient is determined to pursue an BETTER SUPPLY OF FOOD FOR THE SOVIET WORKERS New Rule Puts Co-op Store Under Factory Management (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) WORKER COR | U West Virginia actualy employed in a given factory will have the privilege of using the factory store for purchasing food and | goods at low prices. | Numerous articles, letters from workers, and resolutions of factory meetings point out the abuses of the | former system of distribution, where- by loafers, drifters and wilful ab-| sentees obtained a larger share of | restricted products than honest, dili- | gent workers, “Izvestia” prints a cartoon showing loafers shopping} during working hours, filling their food baskets, while honest workers coming to cooperative store after work found sign “All Goods Sold.” Hits Wilful Absentees In many instances, from twenty to fifty per cent of persons using the co-operative store in a given factory had no relation to factory at all. The new regulation makes distribu- | tion by the co-operative directly de- | pendent on employment in the given factory. Wilful absentees will no} longer be able to use a factory store | since dismissal of a loafer will auto- matically remove him from the store's | list. Periodic food and goods cards will be issued by name. Any spe- culation in co-operative books and food cards will be prosecuted as a crime. The regulation means that the majority of the workers will be assured a better supply of goods and shock workers will enjoy greater advantages than heretofore. The new decree and regulation are Penniless Official Buil of Force Arrésts Farm and off the trains charged with “trespassi to build its roads.

This is another instance | of exploitation of workers at the ex- pense of resident workers, the suf- | fering jobless and for the profit of official tools of the capitalist class. The B. & O. gets $1.50 per head. The judge and sheriff get their share. Having a contract to feed the pris- oners, Sheriff Grimm gets a big rake-off on this deal.

New Workers Cause Drifting However capitalist statements that eyery Soviet worker changes employ- | ment at least once a year is absolutely | erroneous. Drifters and absentees | come mainly from the influx of rural | elements into industry. ‘These ele- | ments, unaccustomed to labor dis- cipline, frequently fall prey to Kulak elements among the fresh factory elements. A campaign to educate these elements is being vigorously pushed. The leadership of the Com- munist Party and workers govern- energetic drive to éliminate waste, and raise the productivity of labor. Every effort is being bent toward further improvement of the material conditions of the workers, assuring substantial advantages for shock workers, increasing and improving the suply of goods and food stuffs, The mass of workers appreciates the benefical effects of the new regulation and are taking an ac- tive part in the fight against lax labor discipline.

Fi Promise of Action. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Dec, 12— A delegation representing the Unem- ployed Councils of Philadelphia ap- peared before Philip Staples, Execu- tive Secretary of the County Relief Board, The spokesmen of the unem- ployed workers, Wood, Bender and Powell, presented Staples with the de- mands of the Unemployed Councils. Mr. Staples admitted that the pic- ture of misery and starvation painted by the representatives of the Unem- ployed Councils was true. He re- fused to attend an open hearing, how- ing ever, claiming that the facts which would be presented at such a hearing would ‘crucify him.” He refused to endorse federal relief as demanded by the Unemployed Councils, frankly stating that he was a capitalist (he 4s vice-president of the Bell Telephone Co.) and that the demands of the Unemployed Councils would hurt the capitalists. He promised however to cut all red tape in cases presented to him by the Unemployed Councils and that he would see to it that these cases get immediate relief, He also promised to take up the demands of the Unemployed Councils with the state relief board as well as the governor. He also condemned the local char- ities as being out of touch with the real situation in Philadelphia, Ask Garner to Answer The National Committee of the Un- employed Councils sent a letter yes- Conditions in the jail are intoler- able, A prison commission recently investigated, and whitewashed Grimm’s administration.

It’s Not All “Peaches” Working for “Daddy” Browning; Says Toiler NEW YORK CITY —Kdward w.| | Browning, the big “humanitarian”, | whom the workers see in the Daily News and other papers as donating Christmas presents to children, is the worst racketeer of labor that ever | lived. I just recently worked as a painter at 110th St. and Seventh Ave., S.W. | | corner, on a job of ten rooms at $26. | I spent $11.10 for material, two of | us worked for four days, ten hours a piece. After finishing the job we} had to fight two weeks to get our money. But this is only the beginning! I want you to know that Daddy Browning, the big philanthropist and the greatest sportsman the Ameri- cans ever had among the Broadway | flappers, is a czar and has @ bunch | of white collaried bullies. They are trained to rob some more out of} your wages afier the job is finished. Every man working for him is found guilty by his $16 a week inspector | of not making a perfect job of doors | and windows, so $5 is deducted out | of each contract. You can just figure out how much | the worker ‘has left after he finishes | the job. I'm just a victim. E. B. Editors’ Note:—This worker should immediately get in touch with the Alteration Painters Union, Local No, 4, at 247 E, Houston St., New York City, telephone Dry- dock 4-5279. The union realizes that thousands of painters are forced to accept these small con- tracting jobs under the present unemployment, because there is as yet no wide-spread organization among the painters. Therefore it is doing everything possible to strengthen the Union for the fight to make such scabby contracting impossible. Cab Drivers Pay for Privilege of Working in Buffalo BUFFALO, N. Y.—The average driver for the Gray Cab Co., working 12 hours a day, draws only $4.50. Out of this, if he is not buying the car, he must pay the company $4 for the use of the car, leaving 50 cents for himself, or slightly more than 4 cents an hour. Some of them are not so lucky, and have to pay for the privi- lege of working. ‘This is how it happened. After try- | all sorts of schemes to get more work out of the drivers at less pay, which were successively blocked by shorts effective strikes on the part of | the men, Mr. Milestone, the owner of this fleet, finally put it over on the workers. He gives the men the choice of paying $4 per day for the use of his car, and they take all the profits, or to pay $5.50 per day for 15 months, and at the end of that time, the car would be theirs. They could also have anything over $5.50 which they took in. Some of the recruits did not know that a chevrolet cab, drives about a thousand miles a week, only lasts a year, and some of them signed up. Also they have to pay for gasoline, oil, ete. and are fined $2.75 for every day they don’t show up.

IN NEW SWINDLE: Rea. Workers Tricked Into Buying Homes | PROVIDENCE, R. I—The Ameri- can Woolen Co. has cheated hun- dreds of textile workers by selling its villages all over New England under false pretenses. In, normal, or even in prosperity | times, the -houses, most of them without modern improvements, could | not be sold; and now, when there is/ absolutely no market even for good | property, they are worth practically nothing, About October, when the, American Woolen Co.. opened some of. their mills for a short time, after they had | been closed for many months, some | of them for more than a year, they | began to circulate rumors that soon all the mills will be open and there | will be a great need for more and more help; and after preparing the villagers for the “big day”, they de. cided to allow them to buy their cottages, which are nothing but | shacks. They claim that after build- ing and owning them for 40 or 50 years, they expect to be “too busy to take care of property”. | Their scheme worked, and they | cleaned out the villagers of their | last dollars. After they close down | again, those houses will be worth- | less, the workers will be tied to them without opportunity for getting a job. ‘This crime should be exposed not | only in our Daily Worker, but the fact should be known to every work- er in the textile industry. JP. HOUSEWRECKERS STRIKE ON JOBS. Get 20 Cents An Hour, and No Insurance NEW YORK CITY.—The house- wreckers held a meeting last week where they enthusiastically approved he action of the Executive Commit- tee for calling strikes on the Monroe St. job of the Morris Demolition, at the job at 15th St. near Fifth Ave.,) conducted by the contractors Bazan and Kamen, and at 61st St. near 10th Ave. of Louis Forman, Small Wages | ‘These bosses pay the men any- thing they please for a ten-hour day. They hire experienced housewreckers, | who are already on the point of star- vation together with their wives and children, and promise them a spe- cified sum for the job. The men are eager to get a little money for their families. But the boss tricks them, ‘The contractor takes a job from a builder at $1,500 to wreck the build-| ing, the contract specifying that the | workers will be paid at the union rates. The contractor tells the men| to go ahead for $750, instead of giv- ing them a specified wage. Men work- ing under such conditions are not protected by insurance, and no one is responsible if he is hurt on the job. This way the bosses save many hun- dreds of dollars by not paying insur- ance, and no wages, and the men have to work as long as it takes to finish the job. When the men in this kind of “cooperation” divide up, they get not over 20c per hour, and it is even known that some have work for 7 cents an hour. Here are names of men and what they received for ten-hour day from Bazan and Kamen: Alex Shinkaruk...$8.00 for 715 days Wasyl Chakwin..10.00 for 6 days Mike Urban..... 14.00 for 9 days Mike Sponchuk..15.00 for 9 days Nikita Hiliuk....13.00 for 7 days Alex Zukowsky..15.75 for 9 days Frank Hodol 8.00 for 344 days Philip Sachuk ... 8.00 for 34 days Thos.
