NEW YORK.—In a men’s clothing store where I worked recently, one of the salesmen, who also trimmed the windows, worked one day from 9 Sunday morning to 10 Monday morn- ing. Twenty-five hours without a stop, except to eat. When he finished, he looked a wreck. He was practically dead on his feet. His eyes were red, swollen and watery from the strain of trying te keep them open so unnaturally and inhumanly long, He went home with the under- standing that he was not to return to work until the next morning. But around 5 p. m. we grew busy, so the boss telephoned him to come to work immediately. He objected, stating that he had only five hours sleep in two days. The boss shouted: “If you don't report within two hours, you needn't come in again. I can get hundreds of good men who would jump at the Because he had a family to. sup- port, he came to work, looking very tired and wornout. During the course of the evening, the boss kept refer- ring to the telephone conversation, Finally the worker couid not stand it any longer, and when the anger that was keyed up within him surged to the boiling péint, he became so out- wardly infuriated that he grabbed the boss by his collar and shook him shouting, “Shut up! you slave-driving bastard. I'll starve before I work for you or your kind.” With that he demanded his wages up to date from the frightened boss who had not expected such an awak- ening. The boss did not hire anyone else to supplant the departed salesman, piling his work on the tailor and my- self at the same salary, I asked for a raise and was refused scornfully, with the words, “You're getting enough as if is, so you better be satis- fied.” I wasn’t. The hours were bad-enough but having to do three peoples work was too much for me, especially for $20 a week, so I quit too. 8c a Day for Waiters - for 9 1-2 Hrs. of Work (By a Food Worker Correspondent) NEW YORK.—The waiters work- ing at Le Bourget Restaurant, 197 W. 44th St, are employed at agen- cies, paying $5 for this job; $1.98 per week for wages, or 33 cents per day. Out of this the waiters are paying 25 cents a day back to the boss, out of which the boss is pay- ing the three bus boys as keep money, This leaves the 30 workers 8 cents a day, and the boss gets the balance of about 50 cents that ts left after he pays the bus boys. The waiters must buy the coats of this restaurant, $4 each, with no guaranteed length of time to have the job. Many of them are fired in a week's time, Our earnings are from $1 to $2 a day, mostly for 9% hours of work, on Saturdays and holl- days 12 hours. The waiters have to wash the glasses, silverware, windows and cleaning for a number of hours with no extra pay. The food we get is rotten. At 11 a.m, we get a cup of coffee and a piece of bread, some days we don’t get even that. At 2:30 p.m. we are served with a meal that is uneatable. Lot of us throw it away. We ought to talk the matter over and organize to get better condi- tions. The Food Workers’ Industrial Union is the organization that will back us in this fight, WHAT’S ON Wednesday OPEN FORUM NATIONAL RECOVER!

Act No Protection Against Layoffs, Promises More Profits to | to Owners The Railroad fenstieney Seu reebpapoeialion: Aut ‘Act has has been signed by the President, Joseph Eastman, formerly of the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion, who objected to the amendments conceded by the administration to the Railroad Brotherhoods, has accepted the post of rail czar, The Recap- ture Clause of the 1920 Railway Act, the government some $400 million to @——~ date, has been repealed. A mere $13 million of this sum had been paid to the government in principal and interest, But the Interstate Com- merce Commission is preparing to re- pay even this sum at once. The own- ers of roads controlled by Morgan, U. S, Steel Corp., will get over $6 million of this gravy. The Van Sweringen interests, fol- lowing establishment of the fact that these roads were acquired for nothing by these sleight of hand financiers, receive in cancelled government obli- gations, over $80 millions! During the past 10 years stock and bond- holders of the Van Sweringen roads (motably the Morgan interests), pocketed $890 millions in dividends and interest. From February, 1982, to February, 1933, these roads “borrowed” from the government almost $70 millions. According to the latest ruling of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, interest to railroads has been reduced one half per cent and will be further reduced another one half per cent as an inducement to repay. Roosevelt is keeping his promise to the rail- road owners. At the same time the roads have served notice on the rail- road unions that they intend to ask for a 2214 per cent cut in basic rates of pay. Wages Outside of the Coordinator Act One of the so-called concessions made to labor in the coordinator bill was that wage questions would not be handled through the machinery set up by the bill, but would go through the regular channels of me- diation and arbitration under the Railway Labor Act. The roads res- ponded to the President’s generosity in the matter of rebates and reduced interest payments by adding 744 per cent to their previous wage cut de- mands, which called for a 15 per cent slash in 1932. If the workers allow this question to go to media~ tion they will surely find themselves saddled with a cut considerably in exoess of the 10 per cent “deduction” under which they are suffering at the present time. Lay Offs In No Way Safeguarded The second “victory” which the railroad brotherhoods hailed in the amendments to the coordinator bill, was the fact that no more than 50,000 jobs could be cut under the coor- dinator in any one year. They com- pared this to the first enthusiastic Proposals of Eastman and the other advocates of economies at the ex- pense of payrolls. From 100,000 to 300,000 men would be forced out of the service if the bill went through as originally draft- ed. In discussing what could be done under the bill, Eastman let the cat out of the bag when he said, the bill in no way interfered with such re- duction in forces as the individual roads chose to make without regard to consolidations. On the very day Eastman made this statement there appeared a de- cision of the Interstate Commerce Commissisn granting roads in New Jersey to consolidate their parallel lines between Atlantic City and New- ark. Consolidation of parallel lines means of necessity reduction in for- ces. Another interpretation of the working force limitation in the co- ordinator bill is that with an up- turn in traffic the roads will not only manage with their present rock bot- tom working forces; they will be able to operate with a 5 per cent reduced working force. “Expenses are being held below last year’s levels,” accord- ing to the latest report of the N. Y¥. Central Railroad, “and the increased traffic is being moved with only slight increases in operating forces..." The Central reported that it handled 92,238 cars (June, 5-12), as against 78,280 in the same week last year and 84,238 the previous week in 1933. Profits Soar The investment department of the convention of the American Institute under which the roads were to pay of Banking (section of the ‘Amer- ican Bankers’ Association), was just told that railroads can haul traffic more cheaply than ever before in history and as a result will be in a position to report astonishing gains. in net earnings. The statement was | made by Eliot K. Bartholomew and continues: modern power is amazing. A large eastern railroad which bought ten modern locomotives two years ago es- timates that they have already paid for themselves.” As a result of such “economies” the N. Y, Central foresees a profit of $1,000,000 in June against a de- ficit of $3,068,000 in June 1932, The Pennsylvania hes also overcome its reported net operating loss. The De- laware, Lackawanna showed a net income of $200,000 for May, -1933, as against $564 for May 1932. In spite of rising profits the roads are determined to add to their dividends with further inroads on railroad wages. GANGSTERS KILL ELECTRIC UNION « WORKER Progressive Leader Victim of Tammany Terror Drive NEW YORK.—Firing from mov- ing automobiles, gunmen shot and killed Henry Godel, member of Elec- trical Workers’ Local No, 3, as he was crossing the street to his home in the Bronx early yesterday morn- ing. Police said they were baffled by a lack of motive in the killing of Henry Godel. But rank and file workers of Local 3 of the Electrical Workers are well able to pin the re- sponsibility for this gangster murder. ‘Godel was a leader of the Fair- view group, a progressive group op-) posed to the policies of the present racketeering administration in Local 3. The administration has threat- ened to kill all opposition elements and have not only carried out their threat in the case of Godel, but were also responsible for the shooting of Saronsen and Donner, members of the rank and file opposition some months ago. Just as in the case of Donner and Saronsen, police are} shielding the murderers of Godel,| since they are working hand in hand! with the administration of Local 3, which is closely linked with Tam: | many Hall, Tyranny In Local 3 Racketeering, discrimination, gang- terism and the most brutal treat- ment of all opposition members have reached a high pitch in Electrical Workers’ Local 3. For two weeks the Office have been killed with gun- men and dicks, who threaten and intimidate any honest member of the union who may dare to. raise his voice against the tyranny of the Officials in the saddle. The administration is bent on muzzling the rank and file members, who are demanding equal distribution of work to permit the unemployed a few days’ work. Blacklist Workers. A blacklist is at work against all opposition members and it is well known that anyone on this list is de- nied a job while gangsters and ad- ministration henchmen are hired. Dues are $19 a quarter and must be paid or suspension follows. The latest attack of the officials is to suspend members who criticize them on the floor for 90 days. This has actually been put into practice against four rank and file members. The Godel gangster murder will arouse the rank and file to a more determined struggle for the opposi- tion program. N.Y.
