BERLIN, July 30.-Among the 910.-

having more than twenty workers,
there are 1s,S49 disabled soldiers.
Theseshave found places under a law
which makes it obligatory upon in

cent of its entire staff from the ranks
Of the heavily disabled soldiers. These
1S,s49 disabled veterans are employed

There are in Berlin today 1913 total

It is an encouraging fact that 95 per

Unions Fate In Balance.
The electoral reforms which the
progressives want were recommended
by special agent of the State Depart.
ment, who studied the frauds which
marked the last general elections in
1920. The Congress of Nicaragua ig-
nored them, and unless they can be
secured before the holding of the cleo
ton this year 1t is likely that the
reactionaries will declare themselves
elected and will be supported by the
American marines in any argument
which may follow. In that event the
unions will be stamped out, their lead
ers driven from the country, and the
progressive movement set back for
another decade.
A mere nod from Washington deter.
mines the future of Nicaragua.

OFFICIALS USE
LAST OF FUNDS
District 5 Bankrupted
by Pie-Carders
BY THOMAS MYERscouGH.
Especial to the DAILY WORkER)


PITTSBURGH, Pa, July 30. =
BANKRUPT! Bankrupt, in every
meaning of the word, can now be
truthfully said of the officials of Dis
trict 5, United Mine workers Of Amer
1ca. For long time we have charged
that they were bankrupt in every
sense but financially, and now they
have reached that stage. After all
these years of collecting per capita
and defense fund revenues from a
membership of approximately 10000,
the officials Of this unit of the miners
union are devoting all possible time
to the borrowing of funds from the
local unions that are fortunate enough
to have any in their treasures.
To say that this is a fine state of
affairs is not the attitude for any
self-respecting body to assume, for it
can be safely said that the funds have
been Incorporated. Any secretary
of a. local union can gather this and
many other facts if he will take the
time to read the financial report just
issued by the district organization.
1t gives figures to prove that they
have deliberately violated the consti-
tuition by paying the men on its pay
roll who sat as fake delegates to the
last district convention, although the
laws dealing with that subject are
very specific. 1t shows that they have
q detective on the payroll who drew
down more than $4,000 in six months,
although he is labeled in the report
as something which he Is not"
And while this bankruptcy is affect
ing the membership through the fail
IRE of the district office to meet its
obligations, the entire staff is still
kept on the payroll. To pay them, the
organizers are being sent from local
10 local borrowing money so as to
allow the pie-card men to continue on
their luxurious revel while the unem-
plcyed membership starve.

A Negro boy who was pushing a

ed by the Chief Sanitation Oficer,
a lieutenant of the Navy, who claimed
without reason that the boy was dis

Opportunity Under Martinez.

America for improved conditions OF

now doing everything within their
power to develop the advantages
which the chance succession Of Vice
President Martinez to the presidency
has given them. If the election laws
were adequate to insure fair elections
this year, progressive administration
would be chosen for the coming four
year term. But the election laws
safeguard the interests only of the
old reactionary political machines.
The congress, which alone has con-
stitutional authority to amend these
laws or to summon constitutional
assembly. is dominated by the reac-
tionaries.

Westinghouse to Lay

vania seems to be an exception to the
rule of mo job today" to one who
hunts for a job in these parts. With
nearly every important mine in Dis
trict s closed or working short time
and the miners either Shaving at add
jobs with long hours, or loafing for
want of work which they cannot find,
while their families go hungry, it is
a very sad spectacle indeed.
In addition one finds the mills
slowed down to almost a standstill,
and with the prevailing low wages,
the wonder is how the workers make
nds meet. On top of this already
serious situation comes the announce
ment, that the Westinghouse Electric
and Manufacturing Co. has laid off 700
men and intend to make a wage cut
of 20 per cent. This slave-driving
concern employs approximately $4,000
men and girls, at wages scarcely suf.
ficient to keep them alive.
Machinists at this place get only SIS
cents per hour, while others at other
lines of important work get as low as
35 to 40 cents per hour. This latest
announcement has served to make
many of the employees of this concer
apprehensive for their future, for they
we'll know the immensity of the strug-
gle with the present schedule Of
wages.

A terrible drought not only laid
heavy hand upon hundreds of small
farmers, but actually curtailed the
water and power supply of the city,
resulting in darkened street lights and
skip-stops on the street car lines. The
drought also brought on the customary
forest fires sooner and with greater
severity that usual. When these fires
began to threaten real estate develop
ment and Santa Fe holdings, the
Chamber of Commerce got busy. At
session to which public officials were
summoned a plan of action was out
lined.

where unemployed workers rest up be-

as possible. Not single real estate

Besides the workers hunting for a
master, there is also the travelling
handicraftsman who drives from town
to town in his gas buggy looking for
buyers of his skill. Thus in New
York State and again in the West we
met the sign painter; in Nebraska q
travelling piano tuner; in Colorado |;
basket weaver with his large and
active family, and even the lowly UNI
brella member was riding a dilapidated
Lizzie. III California one sees large
families on Ford trucks fixed up like
prairie schooners of old, while the
honest-to-goodness gypsy, riding an
antediluvian Packard or Cadillac, is
seen in every state.
On to Communism.
1t does not cost great deal for a
family to travel the gas-gypsy trail
less, by actual test, than for a worker
to lay idle in big city and try to
keep his family in food and shelter.
So the evicted city dweller and the
dispossessed, foreclosed farmer meet
on the trail for the job. They come
into sharp competition with one an
other, but they also get to know one
another. Another span of the gap
that separates city from country
worker is bridged. Both reduced to
the status of nomadic proletarians,
they must soon learn that the only
road to freedom lies over the road OF
the Communist revolution, through the
means of Communist Party organiza-
ton.
