Eagle Mountain Resort
Boss Brutal to
a Sick
Worker in the Laundry
(By a Worker Correspondent)

JACKSON, N. H. (By Mail).-

Capitalist brutality in one of its
most hideous forms was very well
exemplified at the Eagle Mountain
House, Jackson, N. H. A young
man working in the laundry became
sick and had to stop work and go
to bed. His bed, with six others, is
located over a smelly stable, noisy
at night with the stamping of horses
and further made into a firetrap by
tons of hay on all sides.

The nearest doctor's office is three
miles away with a very steep grade
to climb on returning. The man was
in bed three days before the boss
visited him, because he had to put
a man in the laundry from another
job. On the fourth day the sick
man asked to be taken to the doctor, at his own expense, and the
boss kept him waiting around for
hours.

He went back to work next day,
tho he was still unwell. Of course
he could not do the heavy part of
the work. The next day the boss
came up to him in the laundry and
said, "We don't want sick men
around here, so you had better get
out. The car will take you to the
station, so be ready in a few minutes or you will walk."

Only a workers' and farmers' government can and will abolish such
brutal treatment of workers and
safeguard the health of the workers
above everything, as is done in the
Union of Socialist Soviet Republics.
