Four workers joined the party after the conclusion of the meeting. Following this meeting the section F committee met and also drafted a 6 weeks plan af work. Two shops were selected as basic points for con- centration within this period, with six comrades responsible for the work. Additional comrades were assigned to unemployed work, and a United Front unemployed conference was arranged for Sept. 8. This will be held together with 15 organizations and a large number of neighborhood organizations announced and the workers invited. Our subject was “The NRA and Its Real Purpose.” One hundred Daily Workers were ordered and again the workers responded with a collection of $3 to pay for the Daily Workers, which were distributed from the platform. The subject on Saturday night's meeting on Sept. 2 at Columbus Circle was “The History and Growth of the Daily Worker.” One hundred and fifty Daily Workers will be or- dered for this meeting.

Worker Correspondents Bethlehem Plant in Buffalo Raises Wages Downward By a Steel Worker Correspondent BUFFALO, N. Y.—We steel work- ers of the Bethlehem Steel Octopus certainly are well acquainted with company unions as we have had one for the last 8 years. On July 17, company officials called a special meeting of company union representatives and announced the Bethlehem Steel Code. Burns, gen- eral manager of the Lackawanna Plant, at the opening of the meeting put the taboo on any discussion, sug- gestions or modifications of their code and to show in practice the good side of the code, he announced a “15 per cent rise” in wages, to take place immediately. On the following pay day, when the workers began to use a little arith- metic, the raise turned out to be for some of us a raise downward. In 1929, unskilled labor received on the average for two weeks $50.50 and before July 17 of this year, pen day $3.10, average per two weeks $12.40 to $18,60, and after July 17, average per-two weeks, including a 15 per cent raise. $12.16 to $18.24, so even Prof. Einstein could not convince us of an increase in purchasing power, while cn the other hand living necessities went up 20 per cent and more—not luxuries, but potatoes, for instance, 30 per cent. ‘They certainly did “increase speed” Just two weeks ago, Burns fired three workers for no reason. The company | union representative does not want to have a “quarrel in the happy family.” We workers are not quarrelsome, but it is time to begin not only to quarrel, but also to fight in order to stop speed-up and wage cuts (this so- called downward raise). Only we will do our quarreling and fighting not in “big happy family,” but through e yea] rank and file organization, the Steel & Metal Workers Industria!

How NRA Eagle Pecks at Iron Workers’ Pay (By an Iron Worker Correspondent) 4:EW YOR«W—As an illustration of the way the recovery bluff is working in the interests of the bozses, the following two facts will serve Last week I reezived a letter from a bess of the Atlantic Steel Prod-| ucts, 870 Broome St., to come to work. I was working in that shop long before and received $35 a week. When I came with the tetter, the boss tells me that he is working un- der the Recovery Act, but only half way. To make it more clear he says that .he is. giving $15 a week re- quired by the Recovery Act, but the working hours remain -48 as before. Later on he will decide about the hours. The second illustration is the North American Iron Works from 54th St., North Brooklyn. This firm had: made a step further than the previous one. The North American Iron Works displayed the Blue Bird and announced the 35-hour week with 40 cents an hour instead of the 60 and 70 cents it used to pay. But the 35-hour week lasted only three days. The bosses weren’t used to it that the workers should go home so early, so the bird disappeared sud- denly and the workers were ordered to work again the 44-hour week, but the cut to the 40 cents an hour, it_seems, the bosses intend to con- tinue.

This is more than the total individual out- {put of Canada, England, France and Germany. Small wonder why NIRA parades in Niles, a small town of 13,000, mostly foreign-born. In case of war, the 24 plants will need 10,000 to 15,000 workers to work under NIRA. What is more important NIRA pays here $14 for 40 hours, but most of the workers don’t get 40 hours, so is the maximum, At the Niles Steel Product the pay is supposed to be 40 cents, but the girls get 28 cents, 26 cents and 24 cents. Many employes get only a few hours work per week. At the above-named plant all of the 50 new workers, and many of the old work- ers, are sent home every morning on the excuse that there is no material. The same is true of the Republic Mill, Mahoning and the rest. At the Carnegie mill over 4,000 workers were promised jobs and have signed applications; from all of these only two men got jobs—and lately six mills are down indefinitely. There are over 900 families and 300 single men on relief. In order to cover up the seriousness of the unemployment situation and to pre- pare the workers for the next war, | General Johnson has instructed the ararnge NIRA parades.
