GYP SHARK MADE TO RETURN FUND
S.L.P. Member Assails Workers' Committee
(By a Workers Correspondent)
NEW YORK.-The Helen Roth Employment Agency at 45th and Sixth Ave. sold a worker a job for $11 that paid $45 a month. The worker, an elderly Irish woman, took the job and paid $4 on account. She worked five days from 5:30 a. m. to 8 p. m.
On Sunday she wanted an hour off at 6:30 to 7:30 in order to go to church and the woman boss of the laundry fired her. She came to the agency and asked for her money back and the woman strung her along for a week. Today she went to the Unemployed Council representative, the Daily Worker seller at 46th St. and asked for help.
A delegation of workers went with her to the agency to demand three-fourths of her money back. At the agency another woman, well dressed, stood talking to the boss. This woman asked the girl in charge of the delegation "Why don't you Communists go out and fight capitalism instead of getting heads broken: like we Socialist Labor Partyites, the real revolutionists do?" The delegation informed her that they weren't out to get any "heads cracked" but to get this worker's money back for her.
About a dozen women workers left the agency with the delegation when they got the money. They saw what the Socialist Labor Party program in action means to the workers, in addition-defending a job shark-the "real revolutionists"—bab.
