San Jose, Cal.-"The strenuous

says Paul Scharrenherg, secretary
treasurer of the California State
Federation of Labor, in his annual re-
port.
"The argument has been advanced
that nothing but the importation of
coolie labor can save the sugar indus

Declares Whole Hand Out" Goes to Stockholders Only
With No Benefit to Public or Employees

WashingtOn-The claim that pro-

to the railroads will create employ

president of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Firemen, at the presidents un-
employment conference.
The brotherhood official said. in
effect, IF you claim this money will
be used to purchase railroad equip
ment, and will not be divided among
stockholders as deferred dividends,
vote with me that the bill me indorsed
with that understanding
Carter's plan was rejected, because
unanimous vote was necessary.
Advocates Of the hand out are
ignoring this clear-cut ''shOw down
and continue telling the public that
if congress votes this huge sum hun
dreds of thousands of workers will be
employed, as the railroads will i'm
mediately place their orders for
equipment.
President Carter showed that the
$500,000,000 as provided in the senate
bill (No. 2337) will in no way in
crease the employment of railroad
workers. He showed that when rail
roads want new cars or locomotives
the management increases its capital
stock or issues equipment bonds" for
number of years.

icy of railroads to use any money

freight should and will pay the ex-

"This has resulted in a practice,

"The management does not regard
it as a dangerous situation to allow

New York.-Fearing criminal pros

New York officials, the Cooperative
Society of America has announced that
it will cease doing business in this

The society is headed by three men
who are trustees for 10 acres of sandy
land in Michigan, that is worth about
$25.00 an acre. The trustees are

With this as ground work, the
promoters issued millions of dollars
in securities. There are no officers
other than the trustees and the cer-
tiicate purchasers have no voice in
the management of affairs.
Statesmen sell the certificates on a
percentage basis. The buyer is told
that when certain number of certifi-

Philadelphia While strenuous at
tempts are being made TO minimize
unemployment, the Metal Manufact-
urers' Association acknowledges that
there is more unemployment of metal
workers iii this district than in the
1908 and 1914 depression periods. In
a letter sent to its members, the as
sociation says;
Surveys at those times show in
man-hours in 1908 there was de-
cline of 44.7 per cent from normal and
in 1914 a decline of 1876 per cent. On
September l of this year the decline
had reached SAT per cent. The per-
