After an hour's wait in the building corridors, our elected committee of five seamen finally forced the flunkeys to set the coming Thurs- day for a definite appointment to consider our demands. During the interval we popular- ized and organized our fight stronger than ever. Thursday Then finally Miss Charles, the ex- ecutive secretary of relief, was forced to send our demands and complete data on relief to Wash- ington with a request that the present budget be raised to meet our demands. At the open air meeting Thurs- day night the seamen voted to con- tinue and strengthen the fight till the Clyde-Mallory docks, who, through playing ball with Ryan,| was elected as the delegate. As| far as we've been able to see, which isn’t very far on account of the ing in the interests of the union men. | He has repeatedly knifed in the} back any struggle that the bro-| thers have taken up on the dock or on the floor of the local. He has deliberately sabotaged our fight against the grafting steve- dore-bosses, against discrimina- tion, against speed-up \higher wages. In the six months that “Pal” and for| | Sullivan has been our delegate, he j has learned his lesson well from “Papa” Ryan, the great anti-fas- | our demands are met fully. So, comrades, rest assured that now, with the sentiment for action growing, now that the struggle has | really started, we are going to push |the committee on Russian Affairs | at the rate of 60 or more words per | minute, according to speed of the | cireuit, or anywhere from 85 to 130 | telegrams per hour, The operator | works on a machine with a type- writer keyboard, perforating holes in a tape which is fed into a machine called a transmitter.

The other called the Multiplex tape, pounds telegrams on a tape which must be gummed with ut- most care on telegraph blanks, ac- cording to a specified form which may not vary by the merest frac- tion of an inch. The receiving op- erator must also count, check er- rors, note the class of telegram whether a rush, superrush, or any of various categories, must call at- tention of supervisor to certain mes- sages, and release letter perfect at the rate of two or more telegrams per minute, In addition to this performance of what seems to be a physical im- possibility, operators must also do the work of supervisors, because the telegraph companies, im their mad drive for profits, have reduced the number of supervisors till it is im- possible for those remaining to do the work expected of them. It is an actual fact that operators work- ing on the fastest circuits cannot even breathe naturally, and most accelerate their breathing to keep up with the rhythm and speed up of machinery, My picture would not be complete if I did not mention the elaborate system devised by the companies for checking up on the work of the operators and keeping them con- tinually on trial for their jobs.

T., Akron, Ohio:—From the de- scription of your illness, there is no doubt that in doing an abortion on yourself you infected your pelvic organs and an abscess formed. ‘This infection was not due to a cold that you caught that winter at the time of the abortion. You could have just as well developed this same trouble even during the hot summer. The actual reason why an abscess formed is very simple to explain. It is almost impossible for a woman pregnant again; you were unable to pay the exorbitant fees that are demanded in order to have an abor- tion done properly through illegal channels, You are not alone in your distress.

The profits of the telegraph corporations were mendously. But appetite begets appetite, and with ever increasing gteed for div- idends and more dividends, the tele- graph companies are no longer satisfied with 60 words per minute, Now, the human machine, who is an operator, must not only send tele- grams at this terrific rate but must receive them at the same time, reaching over and grabbing them off the automatic printer while still racing to keep up with the pitiless driving speed of the transmitter. And, mind you, every telegram must be letter perfect. There are two kinds of Automa- tic Telegraph Machines, one called increased tre- erators, at a lower rate, the N. R. A. minimum of $12 to $15 per week. Now, perhaps you are thinking that telegraph companies must pay very high wages to incude people to work for them under such inhuman conditions. Well, the average wages of telegraph operators are from $15 to $22 per week, in Postal Tele- graph, or an average of about $17 per week with the rates somewhat higher in Western Union, ranging from $15 per week to $29. Postal Telegraph operators re- ceive no vacations with pay, and are compelled to take some holi- days off without pay. Western Union workers are slightly better off, getting two weeks’ vacation with 75 per cent pay. ceived by the Department, we can print only those that are of general interest to Daily Worker However, all letters received are carefully read by the editors.
