VETERAN GETS FIRST
COPY OF THE DAILY
At BOSTON MEETING

BOSTON, Mass.-The first copy
Of THE DAILY WORKER in Boston
was sold to John Francis Mullen for
$11 and presented by him to Jacob
Task, eighty-year-ol Communist OF
this city. This pleasing incident took
place at the meeting called by the
English Workers Party branches OF
Boston at New international Han, to
greet THE DAILY WORKER and
came as a surprise to the assembly,
who, however, recognized the ap-
propriateness of the tribute.
At time when most men are pre-
pairing for their grave, Comrade
Task is one of the most ardent work
ers for THE DAILY WORKER and
an active propaganda for Commun-
ism. He responded with tears in his
eyes pledging his wholehearted sup
port for the DAILY and calling upon
the comrades to contribute freely.
H. M. Wicks, who is lecturing in
this district, was the speaker of the
evening, outlining the part destined
to be played by the DAILY WORKER
in the American labor struggle.
Speeches from the floor, that were
really spontaneous, a musical pro-
gram, and the singing of the Red
Flag and The international marked
meeting that showed fine enthusi-
asm and augurs well for the success
of THE. DAILY WORKER in this
district. The sum of $685. was
realized on the sale of the paper.
H. ]. Canter was chairman.

lspeclaI 70 The Dailr Workerl

NEW YORK CITY.-The mando-
lin orchestra of the Workmen's Circle
in New York has made little revolt
of its own against the politicians of
the machine of the. organization, by
refusing to play on Friday, January
49,, at the campaign concert in Anal
gamated Temple, altho they were
listed on the program.
The mandolin players have been
fighting courageously for the last
two years against the, clique Of lead
ers of the Workmen's Circle (Arbe-
tier Ring).
For one thing, they insist on play
ing at affairs arranged by Commun-
lists in spite of orders to the con-
trary. The mandolin orchestra can
not be browbeaten into submission
by the Forward gang of Socialists
which tries to dominate the Work
mems Circle.

Debate Government Slaves?

WASHINGTON, ID. c. Rumors
that wages of government employees
will be Debated in the course of Pres
ident Coolidge's Economy program"
are worrying thousands of bureau
clerks who are having trouble MAX
ing both ends meet on their pres
ent stipends.
Rumors to this effect have been
more rife since the Presidents adj
dress to the thousand federal exec
utive officers who make up the bust
ness organization of the government
in which he stressed the need of re-
ducing expenditures.
The pessimists point to the Pres
ident's reference to the general cas-

he is thinking Of the unemployment
period into which the country is
now entering and which is calculated,
business men say, to lower wage
costs.

English Railways
NolO IL per Cent
ofNormaLSerUice

LONDON.-The railway companies
have reafirmed their determination
to deal with the striking enginemen
and firemen only on the basis of pro-
posals made before the walkout.
This reply was made to a commun-
ication from the Society of Engine
men and Firemen expressing its
willingness to confer with the COM
panies at any time in an effort to
secure an adjustment.
This attitude of the railway COM
panies is said to be based on the be-
lief that the strike being a source
of embarrassment to the new Labor
Party ministry, the government will
bring pressure to bear upon the
strikers.
Charges that violence is being re-
sorted to by the strikers is made by
the railway companies. They claim
that a train was stoned near North
hampton yesterday and that at Glas-
gov a train crashed thru some
wooden obstruction. The charges
have so far not been proved.
Passenger service is said to be
about II per cent of normal.

Chicago Unionist
Says Lenin Death
Is BLotU to World

"All the progressive and class con-
scious members of the machinists'
union are mourning the death of Mic
olaf Lenin," said Julius ]. Uhlmann,
business agent for the Chicago
District Of the International Associa-
ton of Machinists.
II hope the DAILY WORKER will
extend our condolences to the Rus
sian workers who have been deprived
of the services Of the most brilliant
political leader in Europe.
"Lenin was not only a man Of
the highest ideals but he had the
rare experience of seeing his ideals
realized in the Russian Workers Re-
public. His work will go on but
he was still needed and his loss
is a severe blow not only to the Rus
sian but the workers of the world.
at was particularly tragic that
he should have passed away at the
moment when the British labor move
ment was coming into power, at least
in modified form"
The international Association Of
Machinists was one of the first Amer
lean labor organizations to come out
for the recognition of the Russian
government.
Christian Madsen of the Chicago
painters union expressed keen re-
greet at the Russian Premier's death.
Madsen took an active part on the
floor at the Portland convention in
the fight TO win a resolution endors-
ing resumption of trade relations
with Russia from that body. He was
the only Chicago delegate to OPP
pose the Gomper's policy on this
issue.

GERMAN RULERS
STICK KNIFE into
EICHT-HOUR DAY
54-Hour Week Ordered
for Federal Employees
By LOUIS P. LoCHNER


BERLIN.-The eight-hour day,
which has been tenaciously chung to
by the workers of Germany as the
one positive achievement Of the revo-
luton of 1918, has practically gone
by the board. Notice has been served
by the federal government that all
government officials must work Sd
hours a week.
In the Ruhr valley it has been
agreed to lengthen time for under
ground miners from seven to eight
hours, while miners working above
ground are to work nine hours here
after. 1t is agreed that in principle
the eight-hour day shall be adhered
to, and this is to represent only a
temporary arrangement, but workers
are exceedingly skeptical of this
point.
The ministry of labor has issued a
decree in accordance with the extra
ordinary powers given the govern
ment by parliament, by which the
eight-hour day is still maintained Gin
principle" but exceptions may be
made whenever public interest
makes this desirable" This is but
a yelled way of practically throwing
the eight-hour day into the discard.

10 Cents an Hour Wage.

BERLIN.-Now that Germany has
gene back to a gold mark basis, it
is becoming evident how underpaid
the German worker is. The average
wage of full-time worker (and he
is rather the exception) is 40 to SO
pfennigs, or 10 to 1919 cents an hour.
Also. there is a growing tendency
to widen the gulf between skilled
and unskilled workers, and between
men and women and young persons.
The government is proceeding on
the theory that low wages will mean
the economic salvation of the coun-
try. The ministry of labor contends
that rate which is from SIS to 800
lower than the prewar wage is about
the right standard today.
This position of the government is
being fought hard by the unions. But
as the treasures of the workers
organizations are depleted, they can
do little more than make a verbal
protest.

N0UNG men who are wondering what
l. line of work 10 follow will be inter
ested in this So will others who, already
started, find the road 10 success rough
and steep.
Each year American industry needs
10000 new mining, electrical, hydraulic
and other engineers. Yet our engineering
colleges are graduating only 5000 year.
So claims the National Industrial Confer
ence board.
Colonel Barbour, editor Of Mining and
Metallurgy, challenges the boards claim.
He says: Nothing could be more absurd
Moreover, such statement is tragically
harmful 10 the current graduate and the
young man who is about TO decide on an
engineering course Of study. The engineer
ing profession is already over-crowded."
LIVERY business is over-crowded, for
u that matter, except branches Of skilled
labor where labor union rules hold down
the number of apprentices.
As far as mere numbers Is concerned,
we have too many engineers, too many
doctors, too many lawyers, too many news
paper men, too many architects, too many
retailers-and so on, the list Is virtually
endless.
No matter what you decide to take
up" you find that a disheartening army
OF others has the same inclination. Even
in aviation there is waiting list
No field exists in which success is easy.
The fact that success is difficult proves
the existence Of sharp competition-over
crowding.
PUT over-crowding is mainly due to the
ID presence of n multitude of incompe-
tents. For every general, there are thou
sands Of privates who haven't the maxi
ings of a general, who couldn't make good
at the top no matter how often oppor-
tunity knocked at the door,
There are many electrical engineers, but
only one Edison. Many surgeons, but only
few Criles and Mayos. Many criminal
lawyers, but only few Darrows.
Plenty of room at the top, for the right
man. If you are confident that you have
the ability and stick-to-it-iveness TO make
good, young fellow, go ahead. Don't fall
ter, don't weaken, don't be discouraged by
'over-crowding."
A business, trade or profession may be
over-crowded with numbers - but never
with ability.
