Miller Shoe Workers Resist AFL. Treachery (By a Shoe Worker Correspondent) NEW YORK—It is about eight weeks since we called off the strike. We didn’t call it off because we lost confidence in the Shoe and Leather Workers Industrial Union, but be- cause we have been making nothing in the last four years of crisis, and starvation forced us to accept the N.L.B. maneuvering decision, which | was. only a discrimination, because they want to keep the scabs in the factory é Mr. Miller, with master mind, taking advantage of our deep suffering, after 11 weeks of strike, thought with his instrument he can make us to knuckie down to him for the job. But only the weak workers did this. The militant workers, some of us who feed their babies with black coffee, even today, because we are making smaller wages than our brothers (still outside on the street, who are getting miserable handouts from the Home Relief Buro) are be- ing annoyed by @ Boot and Shoe Union agent, This stupid Berry, the chairman for Boot and Shoe Union, has the nerve to tell the workers that we can have good conditions in the shop with the Boot and Shoe Union. We don’t have to walk on the street and strike for conditions, he says. There is no system in a factory. We are making nothing, but some of the workers work after 7 o'clock at night. The bosses want us to work on Saturday. \ ‘We have to fight for the reinstate- ment of our good fighters, brothers and sisters, who are still out on the street. And we must fight for the 30- hour week. Just as Mike Miller gets paler every day, the foreman too, is getting very nervous when they see this Boot and Shoe Workers Union is not materializing, and we want something that serves our interest. The Shoe and Leather Workers In- dustrial Union which is now amalga- mated to the big union, and this is the union that we want—the United Shoe and Leather Workers Union. Resentment is high among the workers on every floor and we hope that every worker from I. Miller will have contact with the United Union on 77 Fifth Ave. and every one of us must work hard to expose any misleader on the floor. Textile Trimming Union Sends Two Delegates to Unemployed Convention By a Textile Worker Correspondent NEW YORK.—The Textile Trim- ming Workers Union at their last membership meeting elected two delegates to the National Conyen- tion of the Unemployed Councils. This was mainly due to the deter- mination of our workers to join the struggle for unemployment insur- ance. When Herbert Benjamin, a few weeks ago, addressed our workers on the role of the trade unions in the fight for relief, the workers immediately realized the importance of this issue. Workers who only a short while ago were drunk with en- thusiasm of the Roosevelt admin- istration, now openly stated their stand on the NRA and their deter- mination to fight for and win un- employment insurance. The next step of our union will be the organization of a permanent unemployed committee. This com- mittee will be for the organization of the employed as well as the un- employed. Together with other trade unions we will organize mass dem- onstrations and obtain relief for our unemplyoed workers until we, will be strong enough to force the | national government and the em-— ployers to give us unemployment insurance. SPEED-UP TRICKS IN RUBBER FACTORY (By a Worker Correspondent) PROVIDENCE, R. 1—The Phillips- Baker Rubber Co. of R. I., one of the largest rubber factories in R. I, has in its employ about 1,400 workers, mostly young girls. This factory makes only rubber footwear. In the summer time it makes rubbers, galoshes, boots, and zipper overshoes. In the autumn and winter the work is mostly sneakers. Before the N.R.A. the workers worked between 52 and 54 hours per week, and the wages for women and girls were $6 to $8; for men $9 to. $11, After the N.R.A. came into effect, everyone worked 40 hours, and the women received $14. The men received $17 when working full time. But at about this time there came another problem which cut the work- ers’ wages. The bosses demanded that they have insurance policy through the company. This costs $1 ber month. Everycne must hove this policy and whether they wish it or not, the money is taken from the Pay envelopes. During the Community Fund Drive. the workers were not asked if they wished to give. Instead, one of the | tk went around, giving each “I Gave” pin, and told {t cost them $1, which would +e taken out of the pay en- velopes, Many of these workers need BP 5 help from the Community Fund, but were forced to give. And when pay day comes around, they find even less than they expected in their en- velopes, Piece Work ‘The workers were forced to go back on piece-work, so, as they have a certain amount of work given them for each day, they worked faster, getting the work out in less time, and thinking they would be getting vaid about their usual wage, even if they left the factory, but after they completed the work given them ‘n less time, theiy were paid by the hour again, which made it less than 36 hours, Each conveyor makes from 1,400 to 1,600 pairs of sneakers per day. The workers get furious and indignant covery pay day. To eppress the work- os'and keep them in subjection, they re told they will lose their jobs if hey get too inquisitive. Every one works standing up, with 30 stops, except for lunch. There were a few stools around on which work was placed. The girls sat on vhem wherever they could steal a ew minutes, while the bosses’ backs were turned, but even these were taken away, and the workers told that they would lose their job if they were cought sitting down during working er Once a week efficiency men go through the entire factory, scheming ways to further exploit a ndenslave the workers by putting up speed-up machinery, forcing the Workers on the job to the very last minute, and often starting them on their work several minutes before the whistle, These few minutes from 1,400 work- ers are making more and more prof- its for the bosses. The machinery installed, the workers are laid off, regardless of the length of time they had been working in the factory. The most unsanitary conditions exist here. There is no locker room, and six or seven people all hang their coats on one nail. The lunches ate kept under the work tables in the accumulated scrap, dirt and nice fat cockroaches. The lavatories are PARTY LIFE Following this column there ap- pears each day in the Daily Worker @ little blank, stating: “I want more information about the Communist Party,” with a space for name and address. Hundreds of these blanks are sent in to the National Office of the Party. In the last six weeks, 167 requests for information were received. In each case the National Office sends literature, as well as a personal letter, telling the worker the address of the District Office of his or her particular district. At the same time we send the original letter or blank to the District Or- ganizer, requesting him to get in touch with the comrade immedi- ately. When money and applica- tion are received, these are also forwarded to the proper district. come into the Party? Do the dis- tricts follow up these contacts? Apparently amount of negligence in the dis- tricts in respect to these applica- tions, if we [udge by the numerous second and third requests for in- formation on how to break into the Party. We realize that not all of the people who write to us for information, and not all who apply for membership in the Party, are elements that are fit for Party membership, But many of them are, And all of them must be con- tacted and investigated by our Party organizations. We look upon the Daily Worker as our organizer. How can we then neglect the workers who come to us through the Daily Worker? We are printing below a number of letters from workers who want te join our Party, but who have been unable to do so, Ce eee) From District 11 “Dear Comrades:—It will soon be a year since I sent in $1 to the Daily Worker for membership in the Communist Party, but so far haven’t been able to get any information. I have written to the Minot, N. D., District for information, but haven’t received any answer. Would like to know what I can do. About the time I made application, there was a unit started here at Nampa, Idaho, and they have failed to function, not through any fault of their own, however. We are wondering if it would be possible to join up with the Northwest organization. We re- alize the necessity of being organized more every day, so that we may get the necessary information that is needed so we may lay the informa- tion of our organization to be ready for the final collapse. i “Je a HUSTON, Idaho.” “ae der ate From District 8 Am writing you in regard to mem- bership in the Communist ranks. I liked the article in the Daily Worker on why one should join the central party of the proletarian movement, that is, the fact that every worker and small farmer should unite in the advance of the revolutionary army and not stop short of our objective, that is, the planting of the workers’ standard atop the»capitol dome at ‘Washington. I have belonged to several organ- izations of the conservative type, in- cluding the Socialists. But I have fo‘led to find any trade union (A. F. of L.) or political party that stands for the complete annihilation of the capitalist system and that stands for the might of the workers. Except the Communist Party we are isolated here. We have some militant men here. We have struggled for relief and against the boss class under the leadership of one or two Communists. But we have no unit of the Party here. And it seems that every time we get enough men lined up for an unemployed council the Socialists and Central Labor body disrupts the organization, But we keep on fight- ing. We are nutting out the Daily here. We have 75 of the Jan. 6 issue or- dered. I have been in the struggle for years for the freedom of the worker from the oppression of the capitalist system and the bourbonized society. I am not a member of the Com- munist Party, but I want to be. I have made application through Party They Tried to “Break The Party--But They Failed!

We paid him o1 money until May of the same year. We met every Thursday night and we paid our money to him. He got in trouble and he had to leave. We went as best we could until Septem- ber. J. W. in Selma resat us up. We could not get any literature except second-handed, then later we couldn't | get any at all, and we paid him our money every month. So I decided to write to you in January myself to find out about the Communist Party, No, we did not get a book at all. We meet every Thursday night, so please set me right, as we are anxious to do real business. Answer soon. “D. C., Selma, Alabama,” +e From Turtle Creek, Pa. “I am a daily reader of the Daily Worker and also attend as many of the Unemployed Council meetings as I can. “The most important part of the Daily Worker is the ‘Party Life’ sec- tion, I notice you ask people to join the Communist Party. It is a good idea, but do you have to join through New York, or do you have certain districts that you join in? “There have been several people who asked me that question, so I would like to have you answer this question through your paper, for I know we have lots of Communists in Turtle Creek, and I have asked lots of them how to join, but either they don’t want everybody or don’t want to tell us. “IT feel that the time has come when everybody should join some organization, and I can see that the Communist Party is the only one which can help the workers, There are several others waiting to hear why they don’t tell us where to join the Party, and if they can join around here. “We will look for an answer through the column ‘Letters From Our Readers, or in the ‘Party Life’ column, for there are many that read the Daily Worker that are and would be interested in Joining if they knew just what it was and how to get in. “We thank you very much if you will help us out of this darkness. “COMRADE J., Turtle Creek, Ps.” Cae tt Comrade J. did not give his ad- dress, s0 we are unable to write to him. We do not know whether or not there is a nucleus of the Com- munist Party in Turtle Creek, but if he will write either to the dis- trict office of the Communist Pariy in Philadelphia, 1225 Germantown Ave., or to Pittsburgh, 2203 Centre Ave, they will be able to advise him in regard to joining the Party. We would like to hear from the districts as to the number of mem- bers they recruit into the Party from the contacts who write into the Daily Worker, which are sent to them by the Center. What © you do with these applications? The capitalist class plots our des- truction through imperialist war. Fight these plots by gaining new readers for our Daily Worker, our powerful weapon in the struggle for a Soviet America. JOIN THE Communist Party 35 E. 12th STREET, N. Y. C.
