MOSCOW PLOTS
AGAINST BERLIN

BY international Labor News Service.
Washington, ID. C.-Indications of
desperate communist efforts to take
advantage of the condition of trade
union weakness in Germany have
reached Washington in reports from
the headquarters of the international
Federation of Trade Unions of Am
sterdam
'The Berlin district branch of the
united social democratic party of
Germany has published an open let
ter, declining the invitation of the
communist party to unite with it in
forming a committee of action" says
the Amsterdam report. "The branch
declares that this invitation is part
of plot to win over from the social
democratic party the wide masses Of
the proletariat. In support of this
contention, the letter contains various
quotations from writings of Zinoviev
in the "Pravda" of osMcow, in which
Zinoviev asserts the necessity of Sc
curing, in case of revolutionary out
break in Germany, complete control
both of the social democratic party
and of the "free" trade unions, in
order ito clear the way for the vic
tory of the workers."

tempts to support family on his ii,
pend is close to want most of the
time.
Such situation as this cannot con-
tinue. Either congress must come to
the rescue with substantial pay in
creases or the service is going to suf-
fer serious deterioration"
Postmaster Smith states that for
IA months the Detroit postoffce has
been unable to hold single civil serv-
ice examination for carriers and clerks
for no other reason than that the sal
ary inducement is so low in compari-
son with the starting point in other
classes of work that few are willing to
accept this employment.

In Congress Removed By
a Few Determined
Men

Washington.-A handful of deter
mined congressman in the majority
party blocked the organization of the
house until they received promises
that the membership of the hopse
would be permitted to vote whether
old gag rules would be retained.
with this understanding, the So
called insurgents" stepped off the
organization track, and the party's
caucus nominees for speaker and
other officers of the house were elect
ed.
Under the agreement the old rules
VIII operate for only 80 days. During
that Time any member may offer
amendments to the rules, and same
small be subject to reasonable dis
cussion, amendment and record votes
of the house"
Under the present system the rules
committee can ordinarily dictate legis-
latlon by refusing to present to the
house any proposal it sees fit to with
hold. If the proposal does manage to
reach the house, other rules restrict
debate, amendments and record votes
1t is now agreed that the house
membership may pass upon the mer-

what the so-called insurgents" asked.
After the victory it was announced
that the present chairman of the rules

his pocket for week, waiting for an

house."

emphasized.
President Gompers said: "There is
no doubt that the men who have made

THE PALACE.

For Monday, New Years and Wednes- day what a show the Palace has arrang- ed for its great host of patrons who will be, seeking diversion during these three days First there comes as the screen feature Mae Murray in "The French Doll," master picture that is said to outdo any of these beautiful lit tie stars previous productions. The role played by the star Is undoubtedly one of the most fascinating she has play ed. As the ferry little French girl she is just delicious for she is allowed ii, this character to run the garnut of her versatile talents. The part IS really a composite of her many successful roles yet is vastly different from any of them. Mae Murray in the French Doll' and the play itself are vastly dis tinctive.
 "The French Do1l' is the screen adap- ton of a great Broadway success and is we'll known throughout the country play form. In rapid movement. color a11( power the picture far exceeds the play with the result that it is nothing shor O. fascinating to an audience. FC- beauty, lavishness and artistic touches the scenes, laid in Paris, New York and Palm Beach, are really wonderful while Miss Murray's costume creations are simply dazzling on their splendor. The cast for "The French Doll" is easily the best that has supported Miss Murray il- any of her big productions and Ehe star has always been noted for assem- bling companies of talent. Backed as f is by seven-act bill of supreme vaude- vile "The French Doll' forms one ot the big attractions of really wonderful show at the Palace for the last day of the Old Year and the first day of 1924
 One of the prominent attractions on the vaudevillee section of the bill is Tn Music1and'' with Virginia Roche and Edith Murray heading a company of twelve people.

LabOr's Main Events
 Noted By Church Men

Washington, Dec 2o.-The growth of cooperative banking and the A. F of L.'s statement that industrial de mocracy is "1abor's manifest destiny are among the most important events of 1923 in the ranks of labor, accord ing to a statement by the National Catholic Welfare Council.
 "In various ways and to various de grees they all point to the growing desire of labor to occupy a more re- sponsib1e position in industry and Tn the community" the church men say.
 These events indicate that while labor is no less insistent upon fair wages and an eight-hour day, there is reaching out, first, toward sound CT relations between employers and employees, and, second, toward lnde.. pendent labor accomplishments and the establishment of labor as a recog- nized factor in the conduct of indus trv"

American Workers
 Can Guard Freedom

Washington, Dec 2o.-President Gompers has appealed to workers en- gagged in transport work at border places to assist the United States gov ernment in the detection of gun run ming and smuggling of unlawful sup plies othe forces in Mexico that are in rebellion against that regular gov ernment.
 Our trade unionists are not off, cers fthe law, nor do I want them to be" said President Gompers, "but they handle goods in shipment ana may come by information helpful to the cause of democracy in Mexico information of violation of interna-- tional law and of our laws on snug gling and illegal support of rebellion What l ask is that they help in bring ing truth to light,
 We shall place in the hands of the proper government officials all infor- information for any other purpose
 The avowed purpose of the rebel de la Huerta, tool of reaction, is to crush the Mexican labor movement. to enforce compulsory labor by de- nying the right of workers to leave their employment, to give back the public land to great concessionaries, to set Mexico back a decade or more into darkness
 "The government of President Ob- regon is agovernmentof law, having it's authority in the freely given suf- frage of the people. It has won the confidence and recognition of our American government. The de la Huerta rebellion would destroy all that has yeen achieved. The action of the de la Huerta rebellion in shoot ing trade union presidents as their ated is an unimpeachable indication of the character and purpose of that de- spicable movement"

Incompetent Bosses
 Demand Cheap Labor

New York, Dec. 2o.-The demand for cheap labor comes from "unpro- gressive" employers who fail to adopt methods and machines now available, said w. R. Bassett, member of Sec retary of Commerce Hoover's com mittee which is Investigating waste in various industries.
 Some selfish manufacturers want big labor reserve to draw on, just as they need a stock of spare parts" <" said MT. Bassett.
 Right now we have plenty of workers in this country to take care of the legitimate need for unskilled workers. Cheap labor is needed only by those who are not skilled enough to manufacture at low cost and still pay high wages.
 With the help of labor-saving equipment, skillful manufacturers turn out more product per man em- ployed than they did before the war"

STERN HIGH COURT
 PUNSHES MOBBERS

Lansing, Mich, Dec. 2o.-The Michigan state supreme court gives notice that mobbers violate the law and they will be dealt with accord ingly, regardless of their victims sta ton in life. A woman in Allegal county was awarded $2,ooo damages against several men and women who nobbed her during the absence of her husband. The case was appealed to the supreme court, which upheld tho award. .-.
 "The community took the law into it's own hands," said the supreme court. "When called to account they seek, by able and adroit counsel, to besmirch her character under the pre- tense of mitigating her damages.
 "It is our proud boast that all are equal before the law. If we deviate from this we must adopt one measure of damages for the attendant of pink teas and another for the scrub wom an; one for the society woman and another for the magdalene"

PROFITS COME EASY:
 INSIDERS" DEAL

Philadelphia, Dec. 2o.-It is esti- mated that this years profits of the Baldwin Locomotive Works will total So, o,5oo,ooo.
 According to a recent decision by the interstate commerce commission, this concern has had a free hand in setting prices for locomotives that must be paid for by the public.
 The commerce commission report ed last year that the company re- paired POO Pennsylvania railroad To- comotives and received over $3,ooo,- GOO in excess of the cost that the work might have been done for in the Pennsylvania shops "within a req sonable time by an appropriate O. ordination of effort and reasonable added exertion." The commission found that in some instances the com pany was paid twice for work done.
 At the time the company was re- pairing. these locomotives, the rail- roads and their allies were conducting a campaign against the shopmen's na- tional agreement, which was blamed for excessive costs. In the decision by the commerce commission, 1t was stated by Commissioner Eastman that the same repairs in the Pennsylvania shops, under the national agreement, would cost $o,453 per locomotive, as compared with $25,7oo under the Baldwin cost plus contract. This con- tract made it possible for the com pany to charge on an average $15,- 900 for each of the 200 locomotives III excess of what the railroad could do the work for.
 These are some of the conditions that make it possible for the Baldwin concern to have clear profit of $o,- 5oOOO in one year.

NEW HAVEN ROAD
 CONTINUES FIRING
Two Hundred More Notified Their Services Will Not Be Needed
 Longer.

The wage curtailment policy inau- gurated by the New Haven road re- gently to get rid of it's once well be- loved strikebreakers continues to be applied, as was evidenced by the lay off of additional employees on Satur- day. According to indications the coming week will find more of the hands out of jobs. Two hundred me chan1cal department employees who were laid off on November 28 were notified by letter on Saturday that their services will not be needed any longer.
 This move also confirms the reports that the road has not been getting satisfactory service from the strike breakers, who took the jobs when the regular employees went on strike on July I, 1922. It is estimated that the inexperienced and inefficient help has made some of the repair work pretty expensive.
 In the other apartments, the loco motive repair shops, it IS pointed out the road will apply the same process in wedding out the inefficient help.
 It IS expected that about 100 hands of the shop will receive New Years present at close of the working day, that their services will be dispensed with in the future
 A considerable number of the cleo tricians are being laid off. Manager Bardo still hands onto his job, how eVer
