MASS ARRESTS
And TORTURES IN
BALTIC STATES
Drive On Communists
In Esthonia and Latvia

MOSCOW, April 2O.-The Baltic
states-the buffers between prole-
tartan Russia and the capitalist world
answered Britains recognition of
Russia by renewed prosecutions of
radical laborites and renewed anti
Russian propaganda.
In Esthonia mass arrests have re-
Gently taken place. The majority of
the prisoners were representative of
labor in municipal councils, trade
union workers, deputies to parliament,
and leaders of Communist organiza-
tions. All workers organizations-le-
gal and illegal-were suppressed,
their Offices raided by the police, and
all literature and records confiscated.
Labor papers were suppressed. Over
200 persons were arrested in one
night, and the arrests continued for
several days. There are 500 political
prisoners in Esthonia at present. The
workers have found it difficult to pro
vide for their imprisoned comrades
because unemployment in Esthonia
has caused great poverty.
In Latvia numerous arrests have
also taken place recently. American
third degree methods are nothing
compared to the horrible tortures
used by the Lettish authorities to
wiring confessions from the political
prisoners.
Both Reval (Esthonia) and Riga
Oatvia) have been extremely active
recently in sending out false dis.
patches about Russia. Helsingfors,
Finland, has given hearty cooperation
The American newspaper public, par
ticularly readers of the Chicago Tri
bune and the New York Herald-Tri
bune, have been the principal consum.
ers of these lies.

WHISTLES BLOW

10, 900 Miners Stand Pat

BY TOM TIPPEn.

CENTRAL CITY, KY. April 90
Altho every whistle in Western Ken
lucky coal mines sounded for work on
April 16, not one union coal digger
showed up. This was the answer of
the rank and file members of District
20, United Mine Workers of America,
to the operators who refused to make
an agreement with the union. There
are 10000 men affected by the strike
which was ordered by the district Off
Gals after wage negotiations that had
been going on for month were brok-
en- up by the operators. Union main
tenance men remain on duty for the
present. The mines had been operating
since April pending settlement.
The operators demanded reduction
as against the unions insistence upon
the Jacksonville (Fla.) settlement.
All the union miners in Kentucky
are now on strike both in District 23
and District 10 which takes in also
Tennessee, except those mines belong.
ing to another operators association
which has an overwhelming contract
with the union that expires next year.
the difficulty here is the large
number of non-union mines that main

demanded by the organized men. This
state, like West Virginia, is overrun
with operators guards and militiamen.
The western Kentucky district is
one of the Oldest UNITS In the United

LEAGUE FAILS;
AUSTRIA Is IN
GRIP OF PANIC
Hooking Nation Adds
To Misery

Especial to the Daily Wcrker.)
VIENNA, Apr. 2o.-The much
advertised league of nations re-
construction plan for Austria
has collapsed and with it the
financial system of the nation.
Blame for the crisis that has
gripped the whole country is
placed upon the big financiers
by the Austrian press; they have
speculated in French francs and
the government has been forced
to spend 300,000,000,000 paper
crowns in protecting market
prices of stocks.
A syndicate of Vienna banks has
spent 100000, 100000 crowns in an
attempt to stop the drop in stock
quotations but stocks continue to
fall, until they are now worth so per
cent less than a month ago.
The government has about reached
the limit of its resources, but stocks
are still dropping rapidly with the few
solvent financiers trying frantically
to halt the downward movement.
The money which has been used
by the government in vain attempt
to stabilize the market, has unbal-
anced still more the already one-sided
budget while the financial depression
makes the collection of taxes almost
impossible.
1t is openly stated here in financial
and political circles that the expected
recovery Of Austria has been retard-
ed for years at least and probably
been made entirely impossible.
Vienna banks have served notice
upon the directors of the stock ex-
change that their customers are short
over $1O,OO0,O0O and expert estimates
from other sources believe that that
this shortage should be multiplied by
is.
The league of nations scheme for
the rehabilitation of Austria is today
failure and Austria is heading
straight for a breakdown while a
condition of utter financial and in
dustrial chaos prevails.

LARGE PLANT
$4,000 Men Restless
In Huge Shops.

This week will see a tremen-
dous drive to organize the
$4,000 workers employed in the
Pullman Steel Car Works, at
Pullman, on the far South
Side.
That the thousands of work.
ers employed in this plant are
restless, under the conditions
they are now facing, was shown
by the spontaneous walkout of
500 unorganized riveters, ream-
ers, filters, buckers and heaters.

An effort had been made to force
a heavy cut in wages upon these men.
They refused to accept it and quit.
The men have no union. They hold
daily meetings at 558 E. 1O7th ST.,
and are represented by a Committee
of Five" one from each department
The strikers include Italians, Swedes,
Poles, Lithuanians and Ukrainians. A
: is being proposed to increase
the strike committee to ten, to in
clude one representative Of each ma
tionality. This is being considered.
It is declared that the powerful
steel car company, fearful of the
spread Of organization among the
workers, has proposed peace thru a
Company Committee" 1t is propos-
ed that the strikers return to work
under the same conditions they had
when they quit. The strikers, how
ever. claim they will not return I'm
less they have written agreement
