May Day Bazaar
To Get Fund For
German Relief

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April 2S.-
The local Conference for the Relief Of
the Starving German Workers and
their families is making great plans
for a huge three-day Bazaar on May
LIST, End and 3rd at the Kensington
Labor Lyceum, End and Cambria SITS.
The conference is affiliated with the
International Workers Aid.
This year the workers of Phila-
delphia will be called upon to mani
fest their international Solidarity with
the workers of Germany. The numer-
GUS organizations affiliated in the con-
ference are doing splendid work in
the line Of collection of material and
merchandise for the Razaar and the
results are very encouraging. A wide
range of merchandise has already
been secured-from aluminium pots to
velous parlor suites, from a pair of
socks to fur coat.
This collection does not include the
department for the Russian toys. A
large assortment of these splendid
handcarved toys have been secured.
In themselves these toys represent
a spirit Of solidarity. Made in Russia
during the great Russian famine they
are now being used to alleviate the
suffering of the women and children of
the German working class that gave
such splendid support to the famine
relief movement for Russia.
The Bazaar will open on Thursday,
May list, at IL noon. At 3 D. m. the
meeting will be addressed by H. M.
Wicks of New York. Friday the
Bazaar will open at z p. m. and Satur-
day cat p. m. Appropriate musical
programs have been arranged for all
three days.
1t is Of interest to note that the
hall as well as the orchestras and
choruses are being given free of all
cost
The Bazaar will close on Saturday
night with a real International dance.

Ryan Heads New
Chicago Building
Trades Council

The peace" election Of officers for
the reorganized Chicago building
trades council resulted in the return
by large maiorities OF officials, Pres.
Edward Ryan and Secy. Conroy, rep
resenting the original Lands award
group. They will serve until the first
Of next year, according to Conroy, who
would not comment further. The
special election was held under the
auspices Of the building trades de-
partment, American Federation OF
Labor, in an effort to combine the
two rival councils that have been
functioning since the Lands award
split the building trades unions. The
unions that objected to the open hhop
features Of the award formed a sep

LIVING COST UP
SINCE LAST YEAR
With JOBS FEWER
Food Going Down A BIZ
But Rents Boom
sv LELAND oLps.

FNNNl aNcd FASoS INDUSTRIAL EdtbCls
The cost of the average wage earn
er's family budget decreased 1.6 pei
cent between December, 1928, ant
March, 1924, according to the quarter
ly cost of living survey 0. me United
States Department Of Labor. The
level is still about 1 per cent higher
than a year ago, but is per cent be
low the high average Of 1920.
The department figures show the
present cost of living as 70.4 per cent
above the prewar base. In December
the figure was 1872 per cent. De.
creases as compared with December
are shown in all items except rent,
which continues it's slow increase.
Compared with prewar costs the food
item shows the smallest increase,
which means that the farmer is get
ting a smaller share of the consum-
er's dollar than he received in 1918,
while manufacturers are getting a
larger share.
Cost Of Living Figures.
The following table shows for
March. 1923, and 1924 the percentages
of increase over 1913 in the case of
the major items of budget:
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-04-29

Average rents have risen nearly
per cent in the course of the year.
And as pointed out in previous arti-
Giles, the department figure is not linn
tied to the lower rents for working
class flats, which have risen much
more rapidly than the higher rents
paid for better class apartments. Fig
ures originating from the government
show that workers rents are up at
least 100 per cent, as compared with
the prewar period. Substituting this
figure in the budget would establish
rs per cent as the actual increase in
a wage earner's living costs as COM
pared with 1913
Detroit an Expensive Place.
Detroit reports the cost of living up
SO per cent, as compared with Deem
Der, 1914, while San Francisco and
Portland, Ore, show increases of only
IS per cent and 553 per cent, respec-
lively. Rents in Detroit are up 1878
per cent, as compared with 1914, while
those in San Francisco are up 81 per
cent and in Portland 43.4 per cent.
The beginning of downward move
ment in the cost of living accom-
panied as it is by drop in wholesale
prices, means that pressure for wage
reductions is likely to increase in the
near future.

Activities of Workers and Farmers
RUHR WORKERS UNITED AGAINST
BOSSES BY WAGE REDUCTIONS
AND LOCKOUTS; BIG FIGHT AHEAD
BY LOUIS P. LoCHNER

Federated Press Staff Correspondent
ESSEN, Germany, April 28.-The Ruhr valley is seethng
with ill feeling the part of the workers After the suengs
encountered during the period passive resistance when the
French singled the workers organizations the special
TINS of their brutal policy the workers being ensaved
than by their counrymen the Rhenish West
phaan captains of industry Herewith brief recapulaton of
the events to date:
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-04-29

the events TO GATE.
In September, 1923, passive
workers counted upon an early
resumption of industrial activi-
ty. Instead, the bosses, who had
thus far out-shouted everybody
as 100 per cent PATRIOTS were
the first to run to the enemy"
and to ask the French military
authorities for the abrogation
of the eight-hour day.
s-Hour Day Lockouts.
When the French commander de-
clined to take the odium of this move
off the backs of the German indus
trialists, the bosses went to the work
ers and of their own accord demanded
the abrogation of the eight-hour day.
This was declined. Mass lockouts
ensued. Meanwhile the industrial
barons concluded the so-called mi
cum" agreement by which German in
dustry was to make deliveries on the
reparations.
The executive of the Miners feder-
alton grew panicky and signed an
agreement for frightening the work
day by one hour for underground
workers and by two hours for those
working above. The only thing that
somewhat consoled the workers was
the promise that, as soon as produc-
ton had been increased by the
lengthening of hours, wages would
also increase.
Miners Cut Twice This Year.
Again the workers were fooled. In
January the wages were reduced by
nine per cent. In March a further
reduction took place, varying between
4S and 81 pfennings az to "a cents)
an hour, depending upon the category
of the worker. This double reduc-
ton was simply decreed without the
workers having any recourse, and was
effected despite the fact that even
the capitalist press observed that the
productivity Of the workers was quite
equal again to that of pre-war days.
But while in pre-war days So per cent
of the amount realized from the sale
of coal went into wages, only 40 per-
cent is now spent in that manner
Besides the miners, the metal
workers are the largest aggregation
of workers in the Rhenish-Westphal-
ian district. The bosses rejoice in
their own organs over the fact that
orders are again coming in satisfac-
torily. Yet the metal workers are
given starvation wages, the average
being 80 marks ($21.5O) a month, and
the highest wage being 120 marks
(about $2S.05).
To cap the climax, the bosses have
served notice upon the unions that
the collective wage agreement under
which work has been conducted in the
Ruhr valley, is to be abrogated and
that new contracts are to take the
place of the old. The new agreements
call for the permanent abrogation of
the eight-hour day, overtime and Sum
day work whenever the industrialists
think this necessary.
All this has brought the irritation
of the workers to the seething point
They are now beginning to take the
offensive.
United Front Against Bosses.
There are many different organiza-
tons of the miners and of the metal
workers in the Ruhr valley-Syndi-
calists. Communists, Socialists. Catho-
lies, members of yellow" unions. But
the continued tyranny of the bosses
has united them, so that they present
an absolutely united front on the two
questions of working hours and
wages. The next few weeks may see
gigantic conflict waged in the Ruhr
valley.
