A&P, Then Rehired At Code Mini By a Food Worker Correspondent NEW YORK.—To get a job in the A. & P. Tea Co,, I had to hide the fact that I was a college graduate. What I have learned about the blood sucking methods of this gigantic chain system, which information is now being spread by our growing group of militant workers to every one of our fellow workers, will in time give the boss and the strike- breaking N.R.A, boss something to worry about. The clerks are beginning to see that the infamous Section 7-A is being used solely as a tool of the boss. For who can determine the merits of some of the worst ex- ploited wage-slaves, the grocery and butcher clerks? The workers see that many of the clerks have been fired under Section 7-A, then rehired under the N. R. A. code at a salary little above the minimum. How many poor deluded 75-hour a week managers ever been approached by N.R.A. board inspectors checking up on stores and employes? How many clerks for fear of losing their jobs are forced to give up part of their lunch hour and also work over- time without pay? Only through the formation of a branch of the Food Workers Indus- trial Union can we take. into our own hands the remedy of these conditions. ‘Lynch Gang Threat ‘Must Spur Fight For Negro Boys (By a Worker Correspondent) BIRMINGHAM, Ala.—Last night I overheard some of the lynch vang talking about the nine Scottsboro boys. They say that everv Nero or white that gives that “Jew-money” to defend the boys should be lynched, and they said that Ruby Bates was not as good as a damn dog. They sav that lynching was too good for Ruby Bates. They said the I. L. D. kept her off all the time until they got her to say that the boy did not touch either one of them, and then anf dressed her up and came to the rial. And they said she then told damned lies, and that if the state releases the boys every Negro should be lynched. They said that the I. L, D was going to be driven out of the South, because if it was not for the I. L. D. them “dam” Negroes would have been dead, and it would not have cost the state so much money, ‘They said they hope that the Scotts- boro boys will soon be burnt. Now is the time for us workers to put up fights to help save the Scotts- boro boys. Let’s all of us start right now to help free all those that are In prison. 600 Distillery Workers Fired By a Worker Correspondent) LTIMORE. Md.—The workers at the Franklin Disti'lery here learned what the New Deal ts when 600 of a tota! of 900 employes were laid off recently. The Franklin Distillery was over- ating on a 24-hour basis, using three shifts shortlv before repeal and until Tecently. When the crash came two shifts were discontinued.

Miss Fifield is a cat-like creature, and her ability to sneak up on the workers unexpectedly has increased her value as a slave driver of R. H. Macy. The workers hate her. Almost every day somebody is in- jured through this inhuman speed- up. No longer do the workers get 1olidays. Even Christmas day was no holiday, the workers having had to work eight hours and more overtime in advance to make up for the day at home. Each day huge pots of stale food ere dumped while workers of the cafeteria are denied supper, all under the N.R.A. In the Tea Room downstairs, where Miss Miller is boss, conditions are no better. Only recently a young worker's hand was sliced by a bread machine and reported to the hospital on the 19th flcor for treatment. The poor girl was detailed for almost two hours before getting aid, and when she returned to the tea room, her hand swathed in bandages, she was ordered to work two hours overtime to make up for her absence. Dairy Worker Exposes Lie That Pay Raise Boosted Milk Prices (By a Worker Correspondent) IRVINGTON, N. Y.—The enclosed clipping from the Newark Evening News announces another increase in the price of milk for this state, claim- ing as an excuse that shorter hours and a 12 per cent increase in pay for workers in the dairy industry forces them (very reluctantly, it seems) to do so. I am working for the E. & B. Feins Dairy, 48 Chancellor Ave., Ir- vington. So far from receiving any increase, we were given a 20 per cent cut this winter. Our wages have been reduced from $50 to $40 with board and room. Furthermore the allowance for board has been cut. We were not given shorter hours, as we still work from 3 a.m, to 5 or 6 pm., with a few hours off during the day. Some dairies in Irvington pay even less and give their workers no time off. We are obliged to work every day in the year, Sundays and holidays included. No new employes were added “under the various codes.” There is a great deal of dis- satisfaction, but the workers are afraid of making the least protest for fear of immediate discharge.

Y, Soap Plant Boosts Output of Dynamite -Glycerine for War By a Worker Correspondent LANSING, Mich. — Here at the Lever Bros. soap plant in Hammond, Ind., conditions are certainly rotten. The company pays the minimum NRA, code scale of 35 to 40 cenis an hour wages, and as close to the $12 a week salary as it can get away with. Code wages have become not only the minimum but in most cases the maximum in this plant, although Officials are scrupulous about con- forming to the soap and glycerine code, Comapny stool pigeons, “watch- men,” plant bars of soap and small tools where they can be “found.” Then they claim that employes hid them preparatory to “stealing” them. Any employe they point out as the “guilty” one is subject to immediate dismissal. To put a stop to such terrorism as this we are organizing into the Chemical Workers Industrial Union, affiliated to the Trade Union We have here the beginning of a Peal union as dis- tinguished from the weak outfit that the racketeering A. F, of L. set up to help the bosses hold wages down while Roosevelt puts through his in- flation poiley. < Regarding this company's policy in preparing for the next world war, let us inform you and all other comrades that our glycerine department has curtailed production of chemically- pure glycerine, such as is used in medicines, and is constantly increas- ing the production and shipment of the cruder dynamite-glycerine which is used in the manufacture of high- explosives. From one to three 10,000 gallon lots of this glycerine are shipped from here every week to the Du Pont de Nemours Powder Co, and sometimes to the Hercules Pow- der Co. The plant is equipped to make much larger shipments if the de- mand grows. We heartily endorse the slogans, “Ali War Funds to the Unemployed!” and “Cancel All War Orders!—Grant Workers Unemploy- ment Instance!” WE DISAGREE. WHAT DO OUR OTHER READERS SAY? New York City. Comrade Editor: uo secret that the Daily Worker welcomes criticism. It has given space and has encouraged workers’ criticism and suggestions, I am sure that the following will be accepted in the same spirit. I have been trying to do my bit as a Communist to spread our paper. I was very glad that I had not made arrangements last night to canvass with the Daily. In order to increase the circulation of our paper we of course must reach the masses, the average worker who reads the tabloid. We must attract him with a paper that speaks his language. When I opened yesterday’s D. W. I discovered the following: Headline: STALIN IN HISTORIC SPEECH AT 17th C. P. CONGRESS, etc. First Page. headline: MOLOTOV OPENS 17TH CONGRESS; STALIN GETS THUNDEROUS OVATION; and then the double column develop- ing the main headline. Page three: The Congress, A letter from a Russian girl. Production in the Soviet Union. Page Four and Five: The 17th Con- gress, Page Eight: Additional articles on the Soviet Union. Without minimizing the importance of the Soviet Union as the Workers’ Fatherland, as the shining example of workers building socialism, as the one country that has succeeded in what we here are striving for, I must repeat, I do not feel that yesterday's Daily Worker would have gained a reader for our press. It contained material that does not interest the worker who is not as yet within the radical movement. Why not issue such material in a special pamphlet for Party members and sympathizers? Include such matter in the Communist and other periodicals that are read by Party members and sympathizers and leave more room for exposing the yellow press, the New York American's series of the Horror of War in Pictures winding up with a plea for bigger and better navies as the one and only way to end wars. In other words why not make the Daily Worker one that any worker can pick up at any time and find in- teresting and to his understanding. More about what is happening in his borough, his city, his state and his country. If the Daily Worker is to be one of the means of reaching the masses it must contain such material that Letters from Our Readers will interest the worker in his present state. Only after he has become radicalized and politicalized can he understand and appreciate such an addition as for example yesterday’s Daily. So. in conclusion:—In order to make our paper a truly mass paper, we who engage in that particular ac- tivity must feel convinced that the workers whom we approach will un- derstand and welcome it. Too often does the Daily cater to Party com- rades and advanced workers so that one can not sincerely offer it to a raw worker and say, “Here is your paper. It speaks your language and fights for your struggles.” HOW THE WORLD-TELEGRAM REPORTS EVENTS New York. In this World-Telegram clipping, twice as much space, including a photograph of a lucky bride is given to the news of the coming marriage of a society girl as to the item right under the society paragraph in re- gards to the closing down of six institutions caring for convalescent children of the poor. | Conditions in Luncheonette Near N. Y. U. By a Student Correspondent New York. The following are conditions in Schepers and Welsolh Drug store and luncheonette, situated on the corner of Waverley Place and University Place opposite the New York Uni- versity: Porters are hired for a six day week, and hours, 9 to 5 at $12 a week. Actually they work 11 hours a day and 6 and a half days a week without any pay for overtime. After being hired on the 9 to 5 six day basis, one worker was told that they want a fellow who will arrive early in the morning and leave late at night. If porters are ready to leave at five, extra work is found for them to keep them late. The store operates under the N. R.. A. One porter was sent on errands through the neighborhood nearly every time that the doctor had to prepare a prescription. The doctor seldom has full parts of a prescrip- tion in stock and other druggists would ask the porter if his store was closing down. Workers are not allowed to order meal8 from the menu but must ask the cook what he has ready for the help. Then their meal is served to them in such a messy style that they are ashamed to sit at the table with the customers without first rear- ranging their plate and slicing their hunk of meat. The store hires a number of workers since it consists of a counter and tables upstairs and a grill down- stairs. All of the workers look tired and over-excited.

We are going to make a drive for new members, and I hope this organization will grow in the near ‘ 4) RAD WAZ%ave cove future as in the other cities in the United States. Cheapening the dollar is a blow against the American workers and farmers and their families. This blow can be answered if the workers of America join into unions and take things into their own hands. A COOK. Reports on Strike of Advertising Sign Painters on Coast SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.—The ad- vertising sign painters at the out- door advertising vlant of Foster &- Kleiser, both in this city and Oak- land, were out on strike for three months. The original scale of wages, $12 per day for journeymen and $8 per day for helpers, was cut many months ago to $10.80 for journeymen and $7.20 for helpers. Shortly before the strike, the Fos- ter & Kleiser Co. cut the wages to $8 per day for journeymen and $5 for helpers. The advertising painters offered a compromise scale of wages of $9 and $6, which was accepted. The Oakland branch in the mean- time held out for $10 and $7.20. The workers in the two local unions held a joint meeting and decided to go out for the $10.80 and $7.20. The matter was left to George Creel, but, as no national code had been estab- lished, nothing was done. While “I SAW THE RED FLAG FLY” Detroit, Mich. On New Year's morning, I was out walking on Jefferson Avenue, when I came to Memorial Park. This park is between Crane Avenue and Fisher. It is one of the main thoroughfares of Detroit. As I came to the flag- pole, I saw a group of men standing around it. They were all looking up, so I, of course, looked too, and what do you suppose I saw? ‘Waving proudly and gloriously in the sky about 110 feet up, was a huge Red Flag with large yellow words on it. I juts stood there and gazed with admiration and I thought, “Well, at last somebody is doing some- thing to arouse the workers of De- troit.” Oh! was I proud of it, flying away there so bravely. I want to congratulate the comrades who did this, for they sure did a good job of it. The men and police at the foot of the pole were trying their best to lower the flag, but the more they pulled on the rope the tighter it be- came, It was laughable to watch them. They became so mad at it, that the police were shaking their fists at it.. But the flag continued to fly there, and it flew from the Sunday night or early New Year's Day until late the following Thurs- day afternoon, before they finally got it all down. ‘You could read the writing on the flag very clearly, and this is what it waiting, two workers (rats some call them) went to Creel and offered to work for $9 and $6. The state code of $9 and $6 was offered the workers, which they ac- cepted, under protest, with the right PARTY LIFE Section Must Tig The following letter is from a comrade, formerly active in the struggles of the knit goods work- ers, who is now doing unemployed work in a Negro section. This is the second letter which we have received, complaining about lack of guidance from the Section leadership. I am writing to inform you what we are doing in organizing the workers of the neighborhood for better conditions and the opinions of some Negro workers toward our organization. Through personal contacts for the last two years in the neighborhood I have gained the confidence of the Negro workers and have partici- pated in their social as well as polit- ical life. I have been a member in an auxiliary branch of the B. E. F. (Bonus Expeditionary Force) of Kings County for a year until its closing, the reasons for which you will soon learn. I have watched with interest their reaction to organization and no- ticed that the Negro workers, who were under the influence of bosses’ parties are becoming disillusioned. Now they do not take seriously their local leaders with their prom- ises, especially such like Jerome Ambro and his like. Under their influence these Negro workers could not even bring into their club the Scottsboro issue. When I, as a member and practically the only white member, brorght it to their attention, the leader refused to take it up with the excuse that this is a veterans’ organization, not a political organization. Exposing the influence of the politicians in the organization, the members began to realize the dif- ference of the organizations which I represented, namely, the Interna- Correction In connection with the review of “The Shape-Up News,” published under the signature of Gertrude Haessler on Jan. 29, the Daily Worker has received a protest from comrades on the docks and from the writer of the review as well. Into this review of an organ of the opposition group in the International Longshoreman’s Association, affiliated with the A. F. of L, the Agitprop Department, without consulting Comrade Haessler. insered a paragraph which both the comrades on the dock and Comrade Haessler consider as a sectarian ap- proach. This concerns the following paragraph: “Above all, we must bring forward the specific united front organiza- tional instrument, which the Com- munist Party supports; The Ameri- can League Against War and Fascism. While it is necessary to bring for- ward the League in this opposition group paper, comrades are right in insisting that the point to emphasize is that hundreds of A. F. of L. opposi- tion groups and A. F. of L. locals sup- port the League. The pushing for- ward of the Communist Party in this connection betrays a sectarian ap- proach to oppositional work in the A.

The Agitprop Dept. also assumes responsibility for the rather awkward formulation of the phrase “the predatory capitalist character of im- perialist war.’—Editor, = f White Worker Among Negroes Criticises Section Leadership Negro Workers Are Becoming More Militant; hten' Up; He-Says tional Labor Defense and Unem- | ployed Council,"‘and began to look |forward to my proposal that we work towards »bettering our condi- tions, regardless of those politicians and as one, of the other club leaders expressed, “If Commander Kreltz of Kings County does not like it, he can have his charter.” Two weeks After, the club was turned into an unemployed com- mittee, and now we are going for- | ward with | drawing in’ the Democratic Club of | the neighborhood.
