I tell you I don’t really heed a man but then again I'd like to help you besides I could always use a man about your age, one that knows his business . . . well I think I'll hire you, go ahead and speak to my foreman.” Boy. At last I’m hired, after 13 months of bumming around, The next day I started on my new job. The place is a perfect reproduction of the average manufacturing plant throughout the country. It is poorly lighted, the air is choking heavy and the machines are dangerously crowd- ed together and are bare of any covering or safety devices. One is actually swimming in the heavy cut- ting oil. The men, mostly colored and Cu- ban workers, move back and forth with tired movements and tired looks on their faces. During lunch hour, I was able to start a conversation with some of the boys. All were complaining of the rotten treatment they were getting, Some even remarked that it was about time to do something about it, but they lack the necessary co-op- eration and leadership. I took down a@ few Hunger Fighters with me and left them in the dressing room. You) walked out of the shop one of the| should have seen the result, Every- body grabbed them. The result was that the workers read each copy thoroughly and discussion went on is the GREAT EASTERN BRASS Can you use a man?’ “No——Wait——How old are you?” en during working hours. Later one of the boys asked me about my salary. I had to admit |that I didn’t know as yet. He then warned me to look after it as the boss was very liable to try and put something over on me. The next day I gathered enough courage together to approach the boss and ask him what sort of pay I would get. His answer was: “Look here, why worry about pay, you have a nice job, haven't you? |Stick around for a few weeks. Be good and then we'll talk business.” The next day I again asked him and told him that I would quit un- less he told me how much he would pay. He then warned me not to do anything foolish lest I be sorry for lit afterwards. The next morning I asked him for my pay and then I found out that my suspicions were well founded. He |figured up my time at the rate of $8 a week, or 16 cents per hour. This for a skilled mechanic. Right then and there I started to jraise hell in the shop in front of all |the boys, and I forced him to pay more, Finally he fixed it up at the rate of 20 cents per hour. This |wasn’t a victory, though it was bet- |ter than 16 cents per hour that he \had wanted to give me. | The “New Deal” has given me a |Raw Deal so far.

Comrade Editor As a suggestion for the improve- ment of the new Daily I might say that trade union and C. P. organizers should be forced to write concretely of their experiences with individual situations and workers. I say this be- cause I have found in the last six months just what organizers come in contact with every day, and these sit- uations, clearly itten, can be more interesting than fiction stories, and can certainly be more instructive to workers on how to meet these small, individual situations and prejudices. And, after all, the solving of these tiny problems fron the real basis of our movement. What I suggest is best * exemplified, I think, by the Russian account of the strike of the Dredging Our Readers Fleet. America has thousands of such stories. Let’s have them.

Imagine my surprise on attend- ing the A. F. of L. open air meet- ing on the point to find that these men were Mr. Sause and Mr, Dorf, organizers of the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Sheet Metal and Tin Workers. Sause did most of the speaking (I thought he was praying at first). He took up most of his time thus: “I refuse to answer that question, it is out of order.” The only questions in order were initiation and dues. The meeting was held day after “\pay day. After the people started leav- ing, a colored man _ remarked, “Dog gone, just think, one man broke up the meeting. He said, come on, folks, let’s go home and all the people just quit.

F. of L. but after going to that mecting, I changed my mind. When one worker who was in the 1919 strike asked what happened there, the organizers re- fused to answer. He was so loud and insistent that several workers took up the cry. “What happened in 1919?” The A.

A young college-bred man kept on collecting fees from his prospective victims. And after being through with the collection of money, this young fellow was presented to the audience as the organizer of the Chrysler Body Plant. The workers then were urged to select one member from each de- partment, who then will come with the organizer into the adjoining room and there in private present the grievances from his department.

That means they are on the black list. All the rest oi the workers agree that the organizers are being sup- plied to the A. F. of L. by the com- panies, and they are right. The or- ganizers are men that never worked in the auto plants, nor in any other industry, they are trained spies by an outfit in the First National Bank Building in Detroit. That's where the A.

The newspaper failed to point out, however, that even this 10 per cent raise, which many workers did not receive at all, brought the average wage of the men to around only 40-45 cents an hour, fully 20 cents an hour lower than the average in ’29 and ’30, Typical of the effect of this in- crease was the case of Sam Jones (mame changed to protect this worker's job) who was laid off in 1931, when he was making 55 cents an hour after one wage cut. Two months ago he got back to work again. His starting wage was 321% cents an hour, and with the “so- called” 10 per cent increase this amounted to only 35 cents an hour. Thus his wages were over 50 per cent less than what they had been in 31, In their official announcement, the company had the guts to state that it was because of the rise in commodity prices and that they wanted the men to receive enough money to meet the rising cost of living. They gave only 10 per cent increase when living costs rose 20 per cent and more! Now in the first month of the NRA, the company ts beginning to lay off men. On Friday, Aug. 18, there was no work for either the day or night shift in the copper mill. This affected from 400 to 500 men. The week from Aug. 14 to 20 the men in the casting department (50 to 60 in number) worked only a couple of days. In the rod mill some men work one day and stay home the next. Recently the company has called men to work at 7 in the morn- ing and then sent them home, only to call them back at 9, and then they work just a couple of hours. This is the NEW DEAL for the American Brass workers! Z The American Brass Co. is a large producer of war materials and made Ten Percent Wage Raise, But 50 Percent Price Rise By a Metal Worker Correspondent KENOSHA, Wis—The American Brass Co., a subsidiary of Anaconda Copper (Morgan controlled), has a large plant here employing in good times over 2,000 men.

In recent months it has made two orders for the Federal Cartridge Co. of Minneapolis, Minn. It also makes brass tubing, etc., for the Forst Co. a small metal shop located here which made machine gun bullets and small shells during the World War. The employment manager of the company J. D. Alexander, is the most vicious labor hater and strike-breaker in Kenosha. This man is colonel of the local cavalry troop of the Na- tional Guard, and personally super- vised their activities when they were sent into Racine County to break the recent Wisconsin Milk Strike. He ordered a deputized thug to shoot at a car that was passing by the strik- ers, and the driver, a young farmer lad of 18, was shot in the back and almost died as a result. In order to improve: thei~ condi- tions to raise their misorably low wages and to end the unbearable speed-up that prevails throughout the plant, the workers of the Amzr- ican Brass Co. will havo to get to- gether and set up representative de- partment committees, establish a local of the Steel and Metal Work- ers Industrial Union, and fight the bosses with their only weapon, th2ir united and militant’ solidarity. ‘New Members Join Up in Warren, Ohio (By a Worker Cerrespondent) WARREN, Ohio.—At each open meeting we get anywhere from 10 to 20 members now. That shows you, comrades, if we follow the party line the workers are willing to struggle on the right lines.

Now we have sent a call to action | to shons that ‘are working now for a united front to organize a trade union now with those shops which the A.F.L. is is trying to organize. The Newton Falls Tube Works was ready to go on a strike when the boss | said that they have to join the union of the A. F. of L. They held two meetings and did no good for the bosses, because workers are not fool- jed so easily any more. So we called a meeting of the shop committees from both shops as well as from the League, a delegation of five from each shop and five from the League, to work out a plan of action at once or a strike. And we planned to send 2 delegation from these shops to the Trade Union Conference that is being held in Cleveland, Ohio.

The boss told them that they could not do it now on account of the new rules and regula- tions set forth in Roosevelt's NRA. They told the workers that the gov- ernment was forcing the company to lese_money. When the workers protested, the boss told them that if they did not like it they could get out, and that they could not get their money back and that was all there was it. t ADDRESS Join the Communist Party 35 EAST 12TH STREET, NEW YORK, Please send me more information on the Communist Party. imei ivy td Party Birthday The Communist Party Has Carried on a Reso- lute Struggle for th e Needs, Rights and National Liberation of the Negroes By JAMES W. FORD. ‘HERE is no part of our Party history so important as the time when w began to apply the correct revolutionary theory on the Negro questio® in the United States. The Communist Party has carried on a resolute struggle for the needs, | Tights and national liberation of the bourgeois influence that hinders this struggle, such as white chauvinism or race prejudices, and striven to unify Negro and white workers in the struggle to overthrow capitalist domi- nation. In 1928 there were less than fifty Negro members in our Party. Today there are several thousand Negro members, of whom over two hundred are leading functionaries. Besides the regular Communist press there are several newspapers especially de- voted to organizing the struggle of the Negro-people. Our Party has wide influence among 1c non-Party masses of Negroes. In the 1932. national elections the Communist Party dramatized its sincerity and its determination to fight for Negro rights and complete equality for the Negroes, and its support for the right to self-determi- |nation for the Negroes in the Black Belt of the South by putting for- ward a Negro as its vice-presidential candidate. It did this in the face of the greates} Negro-phobia and race hatred cultivated by the bourge- oisie; it convinced white workers that they should support the strug- gle for Negro rights. In the Scottsboro case white capi- talist-landlord domination, govern- mental rule over the Negroes in the South by state apparatus, militia, the} police and the courts, has been chal- lenged. The whole system of na- tional oppression of the Negroes has been exposed. By doing this the Strong Organization of American Can Co. Workers Is Developing (By a Worker Correspondent) MAYWOOD, Ill.—Since the birth of little NIRA we are building up a strong organization in the face of stubborn opposition from Socialists and A. F. of L, organizers. Our big shops here are the mass production plants of the American Can Company, where wages are piti- fully low and the workers have never been organized. With the advent of NIRA the A. F. of L. set about or- ganizing a “Federal Union” in these shops, but we have a_ substantial number of our members now work- ing in them, and we are planning a workers’ committee to represent the employees in negotiations with the company for wage increases and bet- ter conditions, In addition to our own efforts we} ‘ are using the Daily Worker, so far as we are able, to arouse self-interest in the workers and we feel certain of success in the end. If you know of activity in this in- dustry elsewhere it would lend en- couragement here to see an account of it in the Daily Worker. Yours for a bigger organization. —M. N, Editor's Note: Workers for the can companies are being organized into the Steel and Metal Workers Indus- trial Union. This Union already has organized groups in a number of branches of the American Can Co. The “Daily Worker” has asked the Chicago headquarters of the Union, which is at 209 West Randolph St., for a report for the “Daily” on this work, liberation | Negroes. It has combatted ‘every Communist Party has brought for- ward the Negro masses, in the Struggle for their national liberation, as an important ally of the American proletariat against American capital- ism, . IN 1930 the first international con- ference of Negro workers was or- ganized ' at Hamburg, Germany, largely by Negro Communists from the United States. This conference publishes an international magazine, “The Negro Worker”. The fruits of this work now reaches into Africa and the West Indies. With the correct revolutionary theory on the Negro question particu- lary the national question, our Party has been able to make gains among the Negroes, This was achieved with the help and experiences of the world movement, the Communist In- ternational. ‘ In the first place, our Party with the help of the Communist Inter- national corrected the wrong theory and position advanced by the Love- stone renegades on the Negro ques- tion. According to Lovestone the Negro toilers in the agricultural South were a reserve for capitalist reaction. This theory flowed from the basically false theory of Love- stone that American capitalism had entered a period of permanent pros- perity and that the so-called indus- trial yevolution would sweep away all remnants of oppression of the Ne- groes. d bees Open Letter to the Party has placed bigger tasks before us now; to win the most decisive masses of Negro workers for our Party and to head the national liberation struggle of the Negro people. The bourgeoisie fears the growing influence of Com- munism among the Negroes. It is doing everything it can to stop this development. It is especially’ trying to hinder this development through ‘the ‘use of Negro reformists who are their willing tools. They are trying to block and to prevent the develop- ment of mass action, as to the legalistic methods of the NAACP, as the only effective instrument against lynching and national op- ‘pression. Great efforts are being made by out class enemies, especially in Har- Tem, the center of Negro bourgeois reformism, to block ideologically and otherwise the growing unity of Negro and white workers, by nourishing Negro bourgeois nationalism, by the influence of the church, the preach- ers and the Negro middle-class lead- ers. In Harlem and in every section of the country we must defeat the bos- ses and their agents by organizing @ mass movement for Negro rights, by recruiting new Negro members into our Party and the revolution- ary trade unions, by popularizing the full Communist program on the Ne- gro question among the Negro mas- ses, by popularizing the solution of the national question in the Soviet Union, by intensifying our campaign ‘against every manifestation of white chauvinism, and by intensifying our struggle in support of self-determi- nation for the Negroes in the Black Belt of the South. By consolidating the gains already made through the election campaign and the begin- nings of mass movement around the Scottsboro case, let us go forward building a united mass movement of Negro and white workers for the overthrow of capitalism.
