Then she told a medical doctor, and the medical doc- tor told her to work up until July 15 if she could. She went on with her work until July 15 and got her pay. She was taken in for a patient for treatment for her eyes, and they told her it was a catarrh. She was there 19 days, and they did not give her any treatment, and it looked like they never cared if she went blind or not. This case was taken up by the Unemployed Council. This shows you how the Negro is taken care of in the General Hospital in the city of Cincinnati. ‘Can You Make ’em Yourself ? ‘This neat dress for little sister will be easy to make with the “Instructor” that goes with the pattern.

J.—In spite of the la n promises of the NRA here Bayonne, we see that it is r only a big fake. We were supp to get a pay increase of 5 to 10 per cent in the Standard Oil. But when our hours are cut to 36 hours from 40 hours, the pay remains the same. When prices go up so fast you can see how we have been fooled. The company formed a company union last week. We were supposed 0 elect two delegates from éach de- m m the rk? ‘Then the bosses elect two delegates from each fe rment. But how does this work out? We are given a list of names which the bosses themselves pick, and only on these names are we per- mitted to vote. The company nomin- ates our delegates. At the same time, to these delegates are added the superintendent and the general su- perintendent of the company—which gives the company a sure majority. The company mdde a big fuss about hiring back workers. Every morning many workers come to ask for jobs. The boss takes about 50 and then sends them to the doctor for an OK. The doctor turns the ma‘ority of them awav. Ue claims some of them have high blood pres- sure, or low blood pressure—or any- thing to keep the men off the job. This is some swindle! When you figure out that about eight years ago there were 8,000 working here, and now about 1,500—you can understand how many are permanently out of work here. Also, those who are hired are most- ly younger fellows. There is an “in- surance” rule in the Standard Oil that no man under 35 can be hired. Avs: fienra ant her meonv will be nable to get jobs. These new work- ers also get less pay than those on the job. They not only get less pay under the NRA scale, but it comes to a pay cut on even the old scale. What we have to do is to get our groups together and start our work to build up our own Oil Work- ers’ Union. ATTACK NEGRO CHILDREN Br a Worker Correspondent NEW YORK. — In a New York nciehbor*cod a groun oi white chil- dren and another of Negro started te throw stones at each other and exchanged the discriminatory words that the capitalists taught them in schools.

During the summer the woods workers were paid 4 cents a stick for every stick cut and peeled. A worker who is experienced may be able to cut about 50 or 60 sticks a day, working about 12 to 14 hours) a day. The writer has noticed in many places even women, the wives of the men, working in the woods. When the company nears the end of the cutting season (they cut only during the summer) they order a stop to peeling the sticks and pay 114 cents for cutting. This is what is called “rough cutting.” Near the close of the summer the company hires trucks to take this pulpwood to the railroad for ship- ment to the paper mill. For hauling a cord of wood 10 miles they get about a dollar. They average about four trips a day. To get the wood they are forced to go right into the woods where it is piled. The roads cut into the weods are full of sharp stumps that ruin expensive tires. The trucxmen have to do their own loading and unlosding and must hire a helper or two. Most of the truck owners are poor farmers and workers who have sunk their last dollar as a first payment on a truck. The state taxes the truck owners up to the hilt. Truck license costs about $35; trailer licenses from $7.50 to $150.00; drivers’ license is required and there is impending a mile tax. Party members who are working in the woods should sce to it that the workers are shown the right way to fight for better conditions under the leadership of a Red Trade crowd gathered in the street.

In 1861 we smashed the feudal rem- nants of Negro slavery.

At once they were as- signed as captains of different chil- dren’s groups according to their neighborhood, Each captain had a few children for whom they were re- sponsible (seeing that they attend meetings, etc.). At first we had joint meetings of the groups and their cap- tains. The number grew too large for one meeting and after a thorough discussion with all the captains it was decided that each captain and his or her group should have indi- vidual educational meetings in the respective neighborhoods once a week and one joint meeting in the form of a social gathering once a week.
