R. | Shop Speed-Up | Menaces Lives By a Railroad Worker Correspon- dent PORTLAND, Me.—The Portland Terminal R. R. shop (Rigby) was re- cently blessed with a new foreman, Mr, Billington. Mr. Billington was | very nice the first week or so, but soon came into his own to make the men understand that they'll have to “step on it.” It was only a few years ago when 60 cars to a train was the limit. Now, as a rule, they pull 150 cars and more, with the same crew attending it. There used to be four fire- shakers working at the ash-pit, cleaning the fires of the engines be- fore they are brought into the yard. Only two are being employed now | doing the same amount of work. With the increased speed-up, the work becomes more and more hazardous and the number of acci- jdents increased considerably also, but the company has not under- taken any preventive measures | whatsoever, except forcing the men |to wear those ridiculous goggles, which give you more of a headache than safety. Since the men are ,unorganized, there is nobody to go after it. There’s the coal pit, for instance, where a worker fell down the shaft while coaling an engine and broke his back. Has anything been done to |make this job more safe? No! By the way, the company convinced the injured man not to serve any suit by promising him a janitor’s job at | the bunk house.

Y.—That new eight page Messenger’s Voice, pub- lished by the Telegraph Messengers Union, was certainly an encourager. It helped me get two more mes- sengers in my office to join the T. M. U. I work for the good old Western Union. This company has taken notice of the T.M.U. and has sent stools to our meetings. But it also has given little concessions, spread over days, to blind the messengers into thinking that the company’s heart is on their side, and that they don’t need an independent union like the T. M. U. But the eight page Voice opened their eyes. The messenger’s wage is still about 6 to 8 dollars, they siill work 48 hours. The company union (A. W. U. E.) cannot benefit the messengers. The bikes are still bought by the messengers, and there are no vaca- tions for messengers under 21 years. The Western Union makes more than four million profit. Postal profits almost a million, both in 1933-34. « The Western Union recently transferred a messenger, 65 years old, to its wardrobe dept. because he was too slow. At the wardrobe dept. he got $5 a week, and this was his only source of income. He worked here six months and then was fired. The company couldn’t afford to keep him. “ The company doesn’t care {whether this poor old guy will starve without that five bucks. | They can’t aftord to keep him. | They'll lose thet much — profit.

Worker Correspondent NEW YORK.—All regular men Pullman porters are being made to} report from two to three fore leaving time of the trains, they are assigned to, which means that on a train that takes 22 or 24 hoi running time between New York and Chicago, the porter is on this car three or four hours in ex- cess of running time for which he does not receive any pay. He i Jon the car more than 288 hour: every month. If a regular man has to double, he only receives pay for the actual running time of the train jhe is assigned to. No pay for preparatory time. The | average expense to a porter for a |trip from New York to Chicago is about $5. With or without passen- | gers, the expense is the same. This lis the regular assigned porter. He |is supposed to get three hours rest | period en route. This he gets if he can according to how the passen- gers he has to care of retire. This jis the sleeping car porter. Very | often he does not get any rest- | period at all. | The company has a large number | of extra men whom they carry on | the pay-roll, although they do not | make three days in a half a month. | These men have to report and are requested to report daily. They hours be- do not receive any sori of compen- | sation for that. They have to stay | around for hours daily and pay car- fare coming down, and are asked to report again next day. This re- porting keeps this extra porter from doing anything else. He is de- prived of getting work on a C. W. | A. job, being that he is connected with the company. These extra men have wives and children, and minder such conditions their chil- dren are under-fed and under- nourished. The charitable organi- | zations also refuse any heip, due |to the fact that he is suppose to have a job. The company does not pay for the time beginning at p.m. That is, if a porter goes to work on an afternoon train he does not get any pay until a.m. on the following day, for 1 p.m. today until 12 a.m. he does not receive any pay, which means that a porter can go from New York to Buffalo or Boston on @ car in line, and he is sent back on a pass on arrival, and only re- ceives one day pay after being in actual service for 24 hours. The company has worked out a certain plan and an agreement that all the employers have to sign which gives them the right to pay only for p.m. time for an extra Pullman Porter. It is a jobless job. By A Worker Correspondent CHICAGO.—The street car men jof America wrote some brilliant |pages of militant working class | struggle in the history of the class war, The Chicago strike of 1900, and others of 1916, 1919, and 1921, were fine examples of proletarian discipline and militancy, in spite of | the treacherous leadership, | _ During 1932, the street car men of |New Orleans fought for weeks against southern boss class terror. | The latest strike, in Omaha, showed | again the courage of this section of | the American working class, The street car men of Berlin smashed through the Brown Terror to win a strike in December, 1932. Two street car strikes in fascist Poland were fought in 1933, the second one being a victory. It is necessary for every one of us to bring the message of working class struggle to the street car men. Everyone of us is in daily contact with these workers when we ride street cars, “L” trains and busses. There is always some chance to | speak to them. Naturally, they are very cautious, because of company spying, but this must not stop us from giving them our literature and talking to them about working class questions. The brass buttons on their uni- forms do not make policemen out of LETTERS FROM OUR READERS SPEAKER TAKES JAB AT ©. P, New York. Dear Comrades: Saturday night I listened to a speaker from the National Inde- pendent Party. In every sentence all that he hit was the C. P. He said our intelligence was negative. We were being subsidized by cap- italists, Corliss Lamont, etc. His plan was, that as soon as his | Party got in power, they would take over the empty factories and put the unemployed back to work. How he intended to take the factories over he did know when I asked him. When asked how he intended to fight fascism he refused to answer. | He said that he tried to get speak- ers from the C. P. but they refused. I offered myself and he tried to evade me. He was seen by several in the audience, including a Ger- man, talking at a Silver Shirt and a Nazi meeting. I am enclosing a leaflet of theirs. His name, by the way, is Daniels. He is the one who \rew the stink ; bomb in the stock-exchange and got @ million dollar’s worth of publicity for nothing.

Editor of the Daily Worker: Upon my entering into the State Building at 80 Center St., about a job, in order to be able to support my family as per correspondence with the Governor's office, I abso- lutely was shocked to glance at a Nazi propaganda magazine on top of a clerk's desk. You may convince yourself if you'd enter the informa- tion office at the first door to the left in the main lobby. I have already written to the Governor about the dire need of suport for my family and also to the Mayor. But this far I am being sent around from one place to another. I shall be glad to inform you of the outcome of my aim. I too have been discharged from the C. W. A. But I shall not rest until I get support fo the family.

It took some little urging on the part of enother comrade and myself to get the unit here to send for 100 copies. But now every member is surprised to see how eager the workers were to get it. I took 53 copies of the 100 for the unit, and my own 100 copies, and went on the streets Mon- day evening of the 30th, and then j again the morning of May Ist. I was surprised myself to see how the workers welcomed the Daily Worker. Some could only pay one |cent, some paid five cents and wouldn’t take the chanse. Some couldn't pay at all, but the eagerness they showed was great. I also went to the relie office and the dray Work Among Street Car Men them. Their uniforms are their working clothes, their overalls. The waiting rooms of car barns are open to the public. You can always come in to inquire about the lost and found department, buy fare slugs or use the lavatories. There is no difficulty in penetrating this industry. There are half a million of these brothers of ours who must and will march with us to the final victory. Intense Speed-Up On Air-Conditioned Cars for Ice Men By a R. R. Worker Correspondent LONG ISLAND CITY.—The Daily Worker has exposed plenty of griev- ances which the men in Sunnyside Yards have, so I wish you would print this letter about the ice men on the new air conditioned cars. When these cars first came in, the bosses tried out four men to a truck on the night trick, and then they took one man off each truck. Now there are only three, and the driver of the truck has to load ice, drive the truck and unload it. We are all in a terribly condition. Our feet and clothes are always soaked and the speed-up is so great that some- times we do not get a chance to eat supper. Each night crew must load at least 275 cakes of ice, and each of these cakes weighs 300 pounds and the driver must handle it twice. The first night there were two foremen who did nothing but hold lamps so we could see. After that the bosses decided that they could save the price of these foremen, so they were taken off. Due to the speed-up, several men have been in- jured. When a man is hurt they usually fire him for carelessness, and then sometimes they take him back to keep him from suing if they think he can make a case out of it. When Adam Siglowski got hurt they tried this, but then he turned around and is suing them. All we get for this backbreaking slavery is 40 cents an hour and the 10 per cent cut comes out of that. eee eee NOTE: The onl? way to get bet- ter conditions in the Yard is to organize and fight for them. The workers in the other departments are being organized by the R. R. Brotherhoods Unity Committee for organization, This committee is working for the Unity of the workers by bringing in all workers in all dep~tments regardless of race, color or sex. Each man to have the same rights regardless of race creed or color and on the basis of equal pay for equal work regardless of race creed or cotor. The ice men should discuss this among themselves and then get in touch with the R. R. Brotherhoods Unity Committee, 80 E. 11th St., N. ¥. City. Either write or call. All names will be held strictly confidential. yard, into the restaurants and hotels, anywhere, wherever the workers could be reached. Com- rades, I could just as easily have sold 300 copies. That’s how Aber- deen has changed. I also want to tell you that I have found more than ever that the constant, house to house work, is a great power. During the year and a half I have been here, I have tried to keep up the house to house work. One year ago, I used to find it necessary to distribute the Daily Worker at night. Not because I was afraid of arrest (although they had a war- rant out for me, for quite a while), but because the workers did not un- derstand. I helped organize the Unemployed Councils, here, and Jater to organize the I. L. D. The workers wouldn’t come to the meet- ings, because they were afraid of a Communist. So I took the Daily Worker and quietly put it in the mail box or inside the door at night, and walked away. I was so lonesome here at first, it seemed to me I could not stay. I wanted to go back to California, and now I am so glad to stay right here and build the Daily Worker subs and the I. L. D. I think this house to house work should be done more than it is in all the cities. It is best if two comrades can go to- gether. But if not, some responsible comrade should definitely do this work, and the workers will respond and the women and children are reached. On to a greater circulation of our Daily Worker, Comradely yours, M. #H. (Often Sit Up | All Night On | Diners’ Job By a R. R. Worker Correspondent LONG ISLAND CITY.—I imagine the people who read the advertising | the Pennsylvania R.R. does that about their luxurious Broadway Limited would be surprised to know that they have breakfast in the din- ing car where men have slept only a short time before. Most cities | have laws that stop men from sleep- {ing in restaurants, for sanitary reasons, but because the R.R.’s are able to save millions of dollars in wages by this means each year the Interstate Commerce Commission lets them do this. The way they do it is like this: They are supposed to pay for day deadhead runs, but by dead-heading lout after nine p.m. they pay only for 15 minutes time. They usually carry enough cots, blankets and linen for 10 men on each dining car. If the steward is careless, or dur- ing rush periods, sometimes there are 11 to 15 men who are assigned to dead head runs, and then there are not enough cots or coverings to go around. If the run starts late, the steward is usually in bed in a sleeper and the number 2 waiter tells us that there are no more ac- commodations. That leaves us noth- ing to do but go to the day coach and sit up all night. If we went to the steward and told him, and he had to tell us to sit up all night and in that way pay us continuous time, he'd have a@ statement against us saying we were drunk or noisy and we'd lose the job, We sure need organiza- tion on this job. The other day the Reverend held order in the paddock and made the statement that not long ago he read leaflets that the Communist Party was knocking Lemus, and now they are publishing their agreement with the Brotherhood and saying that the men should join, and in this way it may have been a case of bribery, so he was advising the men to use their own heads. * «#8 NOTE:—The Communist Party is still against the rotten policy which Lemus followed of never fighting for conditions for the men and allowing the Penn. to break every phase of the work- ing agreement with the Brother- hood, The Communist Party ad- vises the workers, however, to join the brotherhood, to fight to have the initiation fee reduced to $1. To have the dues cut to 50c a month, To have the committee- men working for the union, not for the Penn. To fight for day deadhead runs. To fight for 3 hours pay for night deadhead runs. To get 3 hours pay for re- porting. To be fed at all points. To do away with the 25c charge for sleeping in the company’s quarters and cars. And last but PARTY LIFE | Control Tasks Members Not Fulfilling Dues in Cleveland No Systematic Attention by the Unit Buros, Section Committees in Check-Up By P. B. Organization Commission, District 6 (Cleveland) On January Ist, 1934 the acreage dues payment of District Six was 11,500. During the period from January Ist to May Ist, 574 new recruits joined our Party. Accord- ing to this figure the average dues payment for the district should be about 2,000 each week. The payment of dues is a good barometer of the functioning of our organization. A unit which meets regularly will show a regular dues payment. Such a unit will have its members at the meeting each week and will be able to assign them to definite tasks. But the dues payment in our district does not show such a normal state. During the month of Jan- uary the average dues payment per week was 2,063. This actually was above normal and was only reached due to the fact that many members who were behind in dues for a long time had paid up. For the month of February it dropped to 1,642. In the month of March it was 1,693 and by the end of April when it was to reach 2,000, the average weekly dues for that month was only 1,594 per week. What does this show? A chaotic condition where many new mem- bers are taken into the Party and at the same time as many are lost. No «ystematic attention by the unit buros and section committees to checking up on the att@ndance and dues payment in every unit. Let us cite an example in the Canton section. A membership of 74 was recorded on January lst. It has since recruited 21 new mem- 40 CENTS AN HOUR UNLOADING SUGAR By a Worker Correspondent BROOKLYN, N. Y.—I will just tell a few words about Beards Sugar Plant, Erie Basin, to let you know how rotten the conditions there av. We are a gang of 15 men, and have been working there for about three years for the lousy wage of 40 cents per hour. The work down there is not fit for a human being, that’s how tough it is. Last Friday, the 18th, a ship came in with sugar. We worked four hours, then came back after din- ner and told the big shot, Calla- han, that we demanded 55 cents per hour instead of 40. He told us to get the hell outside the gate and stay out. It took the boss about one minute to fill our places with fellow workers who hung around the place. Brie not least, to kick all of the old rats who are still officials ont and put in rank and file workers who will fight. Editorial Note:—In such a case, when the boss refuses to grant the demand, the place should be picketed and the workers outside the gate should be told that a struggle for increased wages is be- Cabby Tells How He Found Out About LaGuardia By a Taxi Worker Correspondent NEW YORK.—Before the second general taxi strike broke I, like many other thousands of cabbies, had unbounded faith that the N. R. A. and the mayor would take us out of the rut that we have been in for so many years. But during the strike La Guardia, who was trying to play ball with us and the billion- aire corporation General Motors, was pinched against the wall and was forced to show his real colors. A the vote to be taken in three days, to divide the men into three groups, Parmelee, Terminal, and Radio, and have each group vote separately, the vote to take place in two armories Gilbert wisely rejected these methods and pointed out, that as over one million votes could be cast on election day, 30,000 hackies could do likewise. We men struck for recognition of our union, The Taxi- cab Drivers Union of Greater N. Y., and there was no need to divide us into three groups as the drivers in those groups were also members of this union. Why only two armories in Manhattan, when there are thou- sands of drivers who live in other boroughs, and cannot spare the car- fare. This proved to me clearly that the mayor was giving us the famous strecht and trying to starve us back to work. My license has been stripped during this strike, and that left me without the means to make a few pennies. If I get it back I'll throw my bit in with Sam Orner and Joe Gilbert for they are as honest as the day is long. In the Daily Worker issue of May | 25, 1934, there appeared an editorial called “Capitalist Dictatorship” which is a classic., A NEW CONVERT TO THE DAILY. His proposition was as follows; | in Manhattan. Sam Orner and Joe; ing waged, so that they do not unknowingly become scabs. | bers, a very insignificant number for | Such a section. However, its dues | payment should now reach 95. Ac- | tually the average dues are only 67 while in the past seven weeks, not a single dues stamp has been bought. Needless to mention here that the District Committee has constantly taken this up with the sections and has taken drastic measures to change it. To a lesser degree, a similar situation exists in Toledo and in some of the other sections. The District Convention, which took place last month, set down a number of control tasks. One of these tasks reads: “To have an average dues payment of 2,300 weekly” by August Ist. Already six weeks have passed since the Convention and dues payment has declined rather than swinging upward. To assure that this control task set down by the District Con- vention will be carried into effect it is necessary in the remaining ten weeks to make a thorough check up in the whole Party. The District Org. Commission is | taking the following steps: 1—Meetings of section financial secretaries, who are responsible for dues, are being held in Cleve- land. In each section, meetings of unit financial secretaries are being called to discuss the dues payment and to organize a sys- tem of checking up on each mem- ber. This step is only being started in Cleveland and will be initiated in other parts of our district. ~ 2—A registration is being taken of the whole membership which will include a thorough check up on dues payment. If the above suggestions, plus those already sent out by the Org Commissions of the District and Central Committee are followed through, we can make an immediate improvement in this respect.
