In many instances, work is done for the city in order to get groceries, counties have started projects, such as building or re- pairing roads, where the unemployed are compelled to labor. Compensation laws are on the statute books in nearly all states, with the exceptidn' of about half a dozen. These laws are inadequate. The bosses use all sorts of loop-holes to a small fraction of those who are get around them. In most instances, hurt actually get any compensation. But on the forced labor projects where workers are involved in danger- lief !

Nationally, a similar policy is pursued by the Roosevelt Administra- tion..A quarter of a million young workers are being sent to the forests to work. The vast majority of them have very little experience in felling trees, clearing brush and various other tasks that are required of them. From a Wisconsin camp, comes the report of a young worker being hurt while chopping trees. As work in the forests will increase, these ac- cidents will aso rise very rapidly, Yet there is no mention that the Fed- eral Compensdtion Laws, holding true for other Federal employees, will be given to the forest workers. ‘The Workers Unemployment Insurance Bill contains a full program’ for Unemployment and Social Insurance. A section of the bill states:. | “That social insurance be paid to workers to the amount not less than $10 weekly for adult workers, $3 for each dependent to compensate for loss of wages, through sickness, accident, old age, maternity, etc.” ‘The provisions of the Workers Unemployment Insurance Bill take in the needs of all workers for unemployment and social insurance.

STRIKE AGAINST SWEATSHOP WON IN PHILADELPHIA Longwear Co. Making Goods on. Government Contract PHILADO“CHIA, Pa., June 14— A strike against sweatshop condi- tions im the Longwear Co., a shop manufacturing goods on government contract was won here’ last week. The company was compelled to increase wages after its efforts to break the strike by calliig*for arbitration had failed. The workers under the lead- ership of the Needle Trades Workers’ Industrial Union refused any arbi- tration proposal and insisted on set- tling the striké through their own sirike committee. : A wage rate of $10 a week for girls, $14 for boys ‘ahd $22.50 for skilled operators was’ éstablished, represent- ing increases of from 100-300 per cent. sary An anti-sweatshop conference will take place on Friday, June 16, at 7 pm. af 701 Pine St, to which all workers’ organizations are expected to send delegates, AURORA COTTON of 38 cents a ton and $3.28 for day work, The new agreement outlaws strikes and substitutes arbitration machinery to take care of all grievances.

The UMWA officials are directly re- Sponsible for bringing about the ar- bitration plan and outlawing the only {weapon the workers have to win im- provements in their conditions. The arbitration plan leaves the coal miners to the mercy of friends of the bosses who usually serve on such com- mittees. As a result of the agreement, more than 7,000 miners returned to their jobs on June 2 with no im- provements in their conditons, Only the racketeering UMWA officials have (gained, for they will now have the check-off on the miners’ wages roll- ing into their pockets. the temporary wage scale expired.) | Driving Down the Union Scale Among the first acts of the A.

The A. F, of L. Seeks More Control the A. F. of L. officials an opportunity to recover their grip over the work- ers which is fast disappearing. The A. F. of L. has suffered a sharp decline in membership .during the crisis. Illusions which have existed among the rank and file have begun to be shattered by the racketeering and strike-breaking policies which they have pursued, The workers have resented their open support of the program of the government and the employers, especially their opposition to Unemployment Insurance, their close cooperation in the wage-cutting program, their support, although pre- faced by a sham opposition, of the forced labor camps establishing a $1 a day wage rate and their endorse- ment of the sales tax. ‘These policies and thelr expulsions The National Recovery Act offers |f MILL ON STRIKE AURORA, Ill, June 14—The Au- vora Cotton Mills were tied up here when fhe workers struck demanding the return of a 40 per cent cut in wages given a year ago, The com- pany offered, the. strikers an imme- Ciate 10. percent increase but re- fused to return the full 40 per cent demanded.

Comrade Byars connected himself with mass stfuggles during the miners’ strike and although the editor of the Long Island News, he aided the strike and secured contri- butions of several carloads of pota- toes for the Pittsburgh strike area, Just before his death he was active on a committee to raise funds to as- sist the Steel and Metal Workers In- dustrial Union in its organizational activities, At the time of his death he was on the editorial staff of the Brook- jyn Eagle. “SUNDAY, Philadelphia, Pa. a Daily Worker Picnic BURHOLME PARK ‘Take Car No. 50 on 5th Street to Cottman Street 7200 North JUNE 18 of the unemployed and other discrim- inatory practices have resulted in a series-of revolts among large sections of the rank and file.

F. of L. officials were on the way to be- coming generals without armies, Want to Smash Left Wing Unions Under the National Recovery Bill, they hope to obtain the necessary government power and employers’ co- ercion to force thousands of workers to join their unions in order to fasten upon them the new hunger program, At the same time they hope to smash the militant left-wing unions and the opposition groups in the A. F. of L. which endanger this program and their control. This union wrecking campaign has already started in the N. Y. Fur Workers Section of’ the Needle Trades and the Trenton Doll Workers. Chester Wright, publicity writer for the misleaders,. gives a typical ‘call for organization: “It will be up to the labor moye- ment to claim the field by actually occupying the field. If trade unions occupy the field, no other organiza~ tion can get in. . . . If we do not do it, then somebody else will do it.” New Tricks to Fool Workers The A. F. of L. which has avoided organization campaigns, and which has systematically excluded large sec- tions of the workers from their unions A. F. of L. has developed an over- whelming yearning to help the mass- es improve their conditions, Fresh from their job of helping the bosses pare down the working standards of the organized workers gained through | many struggles, the A. F. of L. now comes forward to champion their in- terests and promises that under the National Recovery Act, they will get the “new deal.” For example, John L. Lewis now pleads, through the columns of the U.M.W.A. official journal for the miners join the U.M.W.A. “Labor is coming into its own,” he declares. “There is but one way for men in the coal industry to reap any benefit . .. by joining the U.M.W.A, and marching forward to... the goal of their ambition.” He is careful not to say what their ambition is. “Marching forward” un- der Lewis, who has driven coal miners’ conditions down to that of peonage, is to march forward completely into the arms of the mine owners. Another example is the appeal of the Utah State Federation of Labor to the employers of the State to help them organize the workers. the secretary declares, “Communist. controlled organizations are exceed- ingly active in Utah in attempting to organize wage-earners. The co- operation of heads of labor and in- dustry will stop this growth of Com- munist influence.” The A. F. of L. steps in to save the bosses from those. who fight to raise the workers’ stand- ards, Obviously, the organization cam- paign of the A. F. of L. will serve the Memoirs of a Bolshevik By 0.

Penger not only refuses to accept Home Relief Bureau checks in pay- ment for rent but also campaigns for the ousting of all tenants who \cUcipated in the rent strike. Two families have been forced to moye through the activities of this agent. Though the chairman of the house committee has paid her rent to date Penger has listed her as amongst the foremost “undesirables.” The tenants of the house are de- manding of the Workman’s Sick and Death Benefit Fund that they with- draw this agent. ‘Rochester Unemployed |Win Back Pay After 2 Hour Strike on Job ROCHESTER, N.
