the present crisis, must attract great
number of disgruntIed elements in the
unhappy German empire. The weak
ness of the movement is in its in
ability to offer any real solution. 1t
is childish to imagine that the Ger.
mans could wage a successful war
against the French in the near future.
Among these forces the Communist
party of Germany must steer its way
and lead the masses towards revolu-
ton. When was in Berlin the Com
munist national congress was still in
progress. 1t ended on the eve Of my
departure from Germany. The story
of my meetings and conversations
with the German comrades must be
postponed to later correspondence.

TACT number four is the growing

many is called the ''Voelkischer" and
which we may name with the old IA

Right is very simple: abolition of the
constitution, establishment of mon

ties, humiliation of the Communists, a

ization Of a strong national army un-
der great national dictator, fight to
the finish against the French. The
Fascist are militant not only in words
but also in action. They make riots.
They appear in workers quarters and

Rail. Clerks
DEMAND FOR
Raise HEARD
Point Out Profits of the
Railroads
BY LELAND OLDS.

Federated Press Industrial Editor
Railroad profits totaIing $1o,-
000,000,o00 in the last IL years
and now running at approxi-
mateIy a billion a year were
stressed by {. n. FITZGERALD,
president of the Brotherhood of
Railway Clerks, in opening the
wage hearing before the United
States rail labor board. Follow
ing FitzGeraId's presentation the
railroads will present their side
of the case.
FITZGERALD cited the increas-
ing prosperity of the railroads as
ground for a reconsideration of
present wage rates by the board.
How long, he asked, will rail-
road owners go on making a
billion a year before the railroad
workers get consideration Of
of their request for a living and
saving wage?
the brotherhood for restoration of
the 1920 wage rates. During the Sc
we're depression of 1921 and 1922 the
board cut wages and asked employees
to bear and forebear until the car
riers were again on their feet.
FITZGERALD said that in view of the
acknowledged fine condition of the
railroads today the board should make
good the implied promise. He used
national industrial (employers) con-
ference board as we'll as government
figures to show that wages Of other
wage earners were close to or above
the 1920 level. He showed that the
profits of the railroads in 1928 were
with a single exception the largest in
their history. Since 1921 their net
profits have increased by more than
So per cent and in addition they have
increased their expenditures on equip
ment by more than $2OO,O0O,O0O. The
railroad employees have failed to share
in this prosperity. Their wages to-
day fall more than 10 per cent short
of as good a living as the wages of
1895 provided.
Figures based on government data
showing how far the wages of rail-
way clerks and station service en-
ployes have fallen behind the cost of
living and other wages were present
ed by FITZGERALD:
Percent increase since 1895
Railway clerks wages 131
Station service employees wages 1875
Cost of living 1872
Average railroad wages 165
Trainmen's wages 1919
Average wages in outside industry 164
Workers Underpaid.
Compared with standards fixed by
experts as necessary to support fami-
lies according to American standards
of health and comfort, he continued,
the wages Of these railway clerks and
station service employees mean lack
of absolute essentials of food, clothing
and housing for the families affected
Such extreme poverty results in the
employment of mothers, lack of de-
cent care for children, an appalling
increase in the infant death rate and
children forced into industry before
their education is complete. 1t means
undernourished bodies and starved
souls. These unfortunate results can
be avoided only by steady and scien-
tifc readjustment of wages upward
toward living wage. FITZGERALD
pleaded.

LIGHT RUN HOLDS
PORKERS STEADY
Condition of Highways Re-
SponSibIe for Decreased
Receipts,

Decreased receipts, due to the condi-
ton of public highways throughout the
State, proved the chief steadying fac
tor in hog prices in trading at the
local livestock market today as lower
prices were reported from some of the
primary marketing centers Only
10000 head arrived for market, in
Guiding Tuesdays carryover Of 529,
and buyers lost no time in obtaining
their supplies. Except for a drove or
two sold at the opening at $3.50, the
market was regarded as steady with
all weights and classes selling at $7.35,
with a top of $40 as on previous trad
ing. Sows and pigs ruled unchanged,
sows at 1925 down and pigs at $6.75
down. Despite n large run in Chi
cago, shippers were active in the
early market and together with local
buyers succeeded in effecting an ex-
cellent and rapid clearance Only the
depressing influence of lower markets
elsewhere kept local prices from scor-
ing and advance, marketwise traders
believed. Light receipts are expected
until such time as the weather clears
and roads settle.
Continuation Of the better feeling
prevailing in the cattle market was
the feature of trading in this division
and prices held fully steady with re-
ceipts of 1000 no more than match
ing the demand Sales of all good
and prime stock were regarded as
fully steady while even the common
grades came in for their shake Of the
improved sentiment in the trade.
a weaker feeling prevailed In the
calf market. due to n slump in demand
and continued heavy marketing, and
prices slumped a half dollar to top
Of $3.50 for choice veals and S14.50 to
$15 for the bulk. Receipts 500.
Less than fifty head OF sheep were
in the yards, but prices for native.fed
lambs were fully a quarter higher at
$3.50 down while sheep were steady at
81 down.

CALF ORN|A TIRED
Of CONSERVATISM
State Believed Ready to Turn
Progressive,
BIZ Times Special


SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 30.-Simul-
taneously with the announcement that
President Coolidge will seek to cap
ture CALIFORNIA; delegation in the
primaries Of that State, come first
indications that the State is ready to
react from the wave of conservatism
which swept Friend w Richardson,
candidate of the corporations, into the
Governors office year ago.
Expose Of a gigantic tax lodging
scheme by the two big railroad COM
panies of California, the Southern Pa
cific and the Santa Fe, has just been
made by a court decision ordering
the companies to pay $4,000, 900 into
the State treasury under the progfes-
sive King tax law of 1921, since al
most nullified by the reactionary adj
ministration of Richardson.
The roads have not yet decided
whether to take an appeal to the
United States Supreme Court, but
these figures, it is believed. have given
them little on which to base an ap-
peal.
CALIFORNIA progressives acclaim the
decision as powerful ammunition in
their fight. to send a progressive Leg
isIature to the Capitol next year, and
a progressive delegation to the Re
publican nominating convention.
