D. in the Phila- post office. The av- erage wage received by the workers is $8 to $10 a week. With this the messe ust provide their uy two uniforms and vehicles and caps a year For this the messengers, who are from 18 to 30 years of age, must work from 6:30 am. until 3 pm. every day in the year, including Sundays and holidays. They re- ceive no vacations and are not paid when they are out sick. The ma- jority of the workers are married and have children. The way the S. D. messengers are paid is by the fee system. For each letter delivered, the messenger gets| nine cents, minus a 10 per cent pay cut. Theoretically, S.

'3-Cent Stamp on “Free Thaelmann” ‘Postcards Needed By a Post Office Worker Cor- respondent NEW YORK.—I am a govern- |ment post office clerk, working in jone of the down town stations. In |the past few days many of the |cards addressed to Hitler, asking for |the release of Thaelmann and Torgler, have come through. The |post office workers are glad to see |these cards and many of us have raised our voices in protest against the barbaric treatment accorded to the German workers at the hands jof the murderous fascists. However, our joy at seeing these cards is mitigated: no little by the | knowledge that many of them will never reach Germany. And this is so because many workers are put- ting one cent stamps on the cards, disregarding the instructions in the corner which specifically states, “Place 3c stamp here.” Please be sure to remind all workers of this fact through all channels at your disposal, including the Daily Worker. It must be stated jin no uncertain terms that unless |the cards have a three cent stamp on them, these little “bullets” di- rected at German fascism will never | | reach their goal. | Furthermore, the Post. Office De- | partment, as part of the U. S. Gov- }ernment, will not shed many tears |because these cards never reach |Germany.

It shows, for example, how women became en-| slaved with the rise of private prop- | erty and the State. In very early! times they were free, strong, equal with men; since land, trees, bushes, therefore a “living,” were free to all; the woman was not economi- cally dependent on man. The latter —perhaps because bearing no kids left time hanging heavy on his hhands—took the initiative in devel- oping implements, flocks, herds, erops, domiciles, etc., in short, in| creating the basis for division of | land and development of private | property and its protector, the| State.

Against Fishermen By a Worker Correspondent WESTPORT, Wash.—At the in- stigation of the Social Fascist lead- Jer, Mr. John Suoja and other henchmen of the Pacific Coast | Fisheries Union, a blacklist system | has been started against all mili- | tant trollers, members of the Fish- | ermen’s and Cannery Workers In dustrial Union. | | Recently a meeting was called by Mr. Kalle Maki and Mr. Lanto, del- egates of Mr. Suoja, to put through a motion for all members of the union to destroy the union emblem on their boats. This motion was rejected by the rank and file, but when the meeting was nearly over and the majority of fishermen had left, Suoja’s henchmen succeeded in putting through the motion, with the aid of a handful of renegades from the working class movement. Maki and Lanto are now spend- ing most of their time, instead of trolling, intimidating the local fish buyers, preventing them from ac- cepting fish from the members of the F. C. W. I. U. Kari and Back- man, buyers for the San Juan Packing Co., last week carried out these orders of Suoja and his henchmen. Bitter resentment is being ex- pressed by the rank and file mem- bers of the P. C. F. U. against Souja and his fascist terror. This re- sentment is rapidly growing into a militant united front which is the program of the F. C. W. I. U. These courageous anti-fascist workers are carrying on the banner of militant unionism in snite of the bosses’ ter- ror, and are hereby appealing to all jlocals of the F. C. W. I. U., and all other unions affiliated with the Trade Union Unity League, as well as the rank and file members of the P. C. F. U. to send protest reso- lution to Kari and Backman, Jack Kaakinen, Jack Botts. and Doremus Fisheries, Westport, Washington. A united struggle against fascism is a struggle against the bosses and for a higher standard of living! Waitresses At the World’s Fair Get 15 Cents an Hour By a Worker Correspondent CHICAGO, Ill—The restaurants at the World’s Fair pay waitresses the princely (?) sum of 15 cents per hour. First of all when a waitress is hired, she must pay $5 for her uni- | form and $2 for her locker—$7 shot, So to speak. After spending carfare, the wait- | ress waits in line to see whether or not she will be one of those selected for today’s work. (After all, why should they take more for the day than they really need?) But the! waitress must be there on time, whether she is placed that day or not, unless she is told to stay home. Many of the girls had no carfare to get back home on. The waitress puts in five hours—| split time, by the way, and is given @ pauper’s fare, ham and potatoes—/ and that our vision is impaired from the poor lighting system. Colds and serious attacks of influenza are com- mon to us. To augment our plight we have no such thing as a vaca- tion or sick leave with pay. ‘We are paid wages ranging from $18 per week (porters) to $30 a week. (conductors). Most of us are mar- ried. Compare these with the sal- year, up. They are nothing but po- licemen and spies who see that we do not go to the lavatory too often and that we do not go outside for a breath of air, and a bit of sun- shine for five minutes. | Letters from Our Readers ANOTHER SOCIALIST WORKER JOINS THE COMMUNIST PARTY New York, N. Y. Dear Editor: As a worker who cast his first ballot for Eugene V. Debs, I have been watching and thinking over the record of the Socialist Party, and the only result for me has been disappointment, discourage- ment and bewilderment; until recently I read my first “Daily Worker,” and then filled out one of the “Join the Communist Party” slips and sent it in. I am on the road at last. It is a tough looking road, but I know where it will take me. The aims and purpose of the Com- munist Party is engraved in the hard and unchanging steel of realism; and to those worker members and sympathizers of the Socialist Party, I plead with you to stop kidding yourselves. Consider the record, here and in Europe. the betrayal of the work- ers in Europe and in the United States. The Socialist Party is, and has, lined up for our betrayal, and the suave, loquacious and ac- quiescent Norman Thomas is is- siduously busy in tying the three- ring circus of the S. P. onto the rump of the new deal Demo- cratic Party jackass. I think that will be the most appropriate place for the S. P., but where will you be, workers? Lenin and Stalin have shown you the road. Follow it. Join the Communist Party! Comradely, FRANK WAHLBERG (Signature Authorized) “ no salad?—no desert—NO! In two weeks’ time, said waitress earns, including tips, if she is pretty enough to get them, $7—exactly her original investment, and then she stays home until she is called again.

They are like other city employes, the victims of the LaGuardia Wall St, and O’Brien Wall St. administrations. There was money to pay the blood-sucking bankers but nothing for constructive works to use this army of engineers. How different from the Soviet Union where engineers remain in their own field of endeavor. The officials tell these engineers that they are lucky for there are many more unemployed engineers who would be only too glad to re- ceive their $22 a week jobs; thus they hold a whip over them. The city-controlled Civil Service Forum has betrayed us again and again. They have promised not to ask for increase in salaries. They| have prohibitied us workers from or- ganizing by declaring all unions illegal. If we rank and file subway work- ers organize in one big union con- sisting of all crafts in all the sys- tems, united solidly, then only will our demands for a living wage and better working conditions be won. There is such a union which has \ members from our system as well as from that of the LR.T. and B.M.T. systems. It is the (Independent) Transport Workers Union, 80 East 11 Street, New York City, which is gaining strength every day.

R. A.| goes bull-headedly on in its at- tempt to foist the burden of the depression on the backs of the workers. Joseph B. Eastman and the com- mittee of R.R. managers, with the help of the ieaders of the Brother- hoods, think that they have def- initely disposed of the troublesome question on the railroads. Have you railroad workers noticed any “wave of satisfaction” that the 21% per cent deduction of the original 10 per cent cut has aroused? The two to three dollar average in your pay checks in July in the face of a 17 per cent increase in the cost of living in the past year leaves you little more than enough to pay your union dues. To those part-time workers whose earnings approximate $50 a month, it is but a heart-breaking mockery. It was only the pressure of the rank and file on the corrupt railroad la- bor executive that forced them to “indignantly” reject our “New Deal” President's proposal to extend the 10 per cent cut to the end of 1934. The moral to this is: Less dele- gating of power to highly-paid. “misleaders.” More rank and file control. Support of the Brother- hoods Unity Committee, a rank and file group which is attempt- ing to unite all rail workers, re- gardless of craft, on a program of taking control of their unions and transforming them into militant or- gans of the masses of railway work- ers. Until then wage “settlements” at a time when other workers, through strikes and militant organization, are forcing up their wages; at a time when rising prices are cutting wages even more drastically than the 10 per cent cut, will settle nothing. Messenger Boys Find Out About Company Union By a Telegraph Worker Cor- respondent BROOKLYN, N. Y.—We Brook- lyn Western Union messengers are disgusted with the company union. They gave us a lot of promises and kept none. All they did was take 35 cents out of our pay envelope for dues. Now we have had our eyes opened by the Telegraph Messengers Union, a real messengers union. We know now why the company union was created and exists. There is only one thing left to be done. That is, resign from the company union and join the T. M. U. The mes- sengers of the F. S. office did it, and so will we. ‘We urge all messengers in Brook- lyn, in other boroughs, to do like- wise. Don't wait until the com- pany union rejects your demands as they did ours. They will always do this, That is why the company created it. The company officials and boot- lickers who run the A. W. U. E. are paid to protect the profits of the company against wage in= creases. Follow our example. Re- sign from the company union and join a real messengers’ union. Relief Workers Win Albany Fight Against Over time By a Worker Correspondent ALABNY, N. Y.— We workers on the C.W.A. project work three days a week to support our families on the small sum of $12 a week. But last week, the city officials thought of another scheme, to make the work~ ers work overtime without any extra pay. So 73 of us workers refused to slave without extra pay, and we went to City Hall to complain. The C.W.A. officials told us that we were fired, and they also told us workers that there are plenty of workers to take our place. But we heard of a union that fights for the rights of the workers. We went to the Relief Workers Union of Albany County, to their meeting. We told the workers about our getting fired from the C.W.A. workers, and the union workers told us they would elect a committee to see Mr. Herzog, and to demand from him that these men be put back to work. When we arrived at the City Hall we ,were told that Herzog was not in. The Committee went in to see Herzog’s assistant. When this official saw the workers ready to put up a fight for their rights, he didn’t lose any time, but told the workers to go back to work, and they were to re- ceive time and a half for overtime. So, fellow workers, you can see how the workers won their demands by organizing the workers in a strong union, and that’s the way we Won one more victory for the C.W.A. workers of Albany County, and now all of these workers joined the Re- lief Workers Union. Stop depending for news and in- formation on the capitalist press that favors the bosses and is against the workers.

The editorial, in a recent issue of the Daily Worker, headed “Capital- ist Dictatorship,” hit the key note of our attitude towards these Guardsmen. I quote: We must say to the soldiers: “You are shooting your own kind and kin. You are defending the~class that hates and oppresses you as well as us. The Wall Street government oppresses you too; you belong with us, not against us.” Around the above quotation must all of our activity among Guards- men center. An appeal of worker to worker. After all, the members of the National Guard are young workers | who put on a uniform once a week. | These young workers suffer from the same economic conditions of | capitalism as non-guardsmen. That | is, unemployment, wage-cuts, evic- | tions, relief cuts and the 100 and} 1 other miseries all workers are | subjected to. And here's an interesting bit for our comrades to chew over: During the last wave of strikes in New York City and right now, many National Guardsmen went out on strike, and where the Young Communist League was on the job these strik- ing National Guardsmen were re- cruited into the ranks of the Y.C.L. There is no question in my mind that if the Y.C.L. and Party in the sections where the Guard have been called out, had carried on agitation among the soldiers before the strikes, the workers would have had another ally instead of an anta- gonized “enemy.” Then what is our task? Here in New York City we (C.P, and Y.C.L.) must intensify our ac- | tivity among the National Guards- | men to such an extent that the bosses will be afraid to call them out for fear that they witl side with the workers. ‘We must approach them on the basis of their conditions in the Na- tional Guard. On the question of full pay checks, more food allot- rmory Grievances Will Make Them Our Allies ment at camp, abolition of full dress uniforms and against the wholesale grafting of the officers. We must learn the specific issues and griev- ances in the particular armory we decide to concentrate on, and build up fitting organizations of enlisted men who will combat these evils, We must recruit them into the Young Communist League which will guide and lead these struggles. And from the struggles against the immediate grievances, we must build to a higher plane of struggle. Such as the struggle against war (forming anti-war groups in regi- ments) and fascism and then the struggle to overthrow capitalism, the revolutionary way out. These things can be done! ‘We must have revolutionary pa- tience in our approach, explaining things as simply as possible. Every Party and Y.C.L. section must assign comrades to lead and carry on the work. Where this has been done more forces must be thrown into the work. Spread the pamphiet “Fix Bay- onets—Against Whom?” Comrades who know members of the guard should immediately turn their names and addresses over to the section or- ganizer or the comrade in charge of anti-militarist work. If only our comrades would real- ize the possibilities of the guard in New York being called out on strike duty they would see the necessity of intensifying our organisational activities among them. Comrades—the young workers im the National Guard are our class brothers! Help win them over te the revolutionary movement! —S8. R. (Y.CL,) , Join the Communist Party 35 E. 12th STREET, N. Y. ©.

Jewish Boss Likes Workers Drugged By Nazi Poison By a Worker Correspondent LONG BEACH, L. I—I worked as a, bus boy for the Park Davis Res- taurant located at 21 Park Avenue, Long Beach, L. I. The other, help in the kitchen were all German Nazis and were all day singing the Nazi war songs, as I call them. The Nazi workers in the kitchen would always intimidate me, as I only worked there a short time, and T could not stand the abuse, and had a fight, and had to leave, because the complaints that I made from time to time to the boss, who is a Jew, and the manager, who is a Jew as well, were ignored. The boss favored the Nazis be- cause they work very cheap and are not organized, and it was impossible for me to organize them; therefor, as a class conscious worker, I de- mand that such firms be dealt with severely and the industrial food workers get on the job, and organize a strong union out in Long Beach and other resorts.
