Hafnium Atoms Weighed.

Nils Bohr, discoverer Of the new
element, hafnium, has determined its
atomic weight. The element which
was named in honor Of the city Of
Copenhagen, is still not completely iso-
lated, but the professors efforts in this
direction are nearing completion. The
connection of the element with zirconi-
UNI, a kindred element, has made in
vestigations difficult, but Professor
Bohr has been able to ascertain that
the atomic weight lies between 179
and 1S1.
Five of 81 elements existent re-
main to be discovered.
AS a result Of his experiments Pro-
lessor BohP has discovered that hafni-
UNI Is impenetrable by Rontgen rays.
He asserts it has the good qualities of
bismuth, which is used In connection
with Rontgen-ray experiments, but
none of the bad ones, and the discov-
cry is expected to be Of considerable
value to medical science.

members of the Communist party who
have been elected as municipal OF
county officials are to be recognized
only If it seems certain that they will
perform their duties in accordance
with the existing form of government
and Independent Of party instructions.
This will mean exclusion of many
Communists from ONCE as Commun-
lists state that their aim is to destroy
the existing state and that they re-
gard themselves as responsible to
their party.
In many localities the rules pre-
scribe that aldermen shall pledge
themselves to observance OF the laws
by handshake. In a number of COM
munities the Communists have refused
to execute this pledge. The minister
Of the interior has decreed that they
shall be excluded from the sessions.
In others they have worn, red gloves
and the mayor has refused to shake

BRITISH CAPITAL
WANTS TOBUY UP
BRAZIL RAILROAD
Financial Mission Would
Kill Bank

Especial to the DAILY WoRKER)
RIO DE JANIERo, Brazil. July g.
British capital isn't satisfied with the
privileges given it by the Brazilian
government and now wants to buy out
the nationally owned Central Brazil
railroad and have the Bank Of Brazil
removed from political control"
The British capitalists complain
that the government here does not
allow them to charge enough on the
British railroad and whine that the
state road does not give service and
charges too much. 1t looks very much
as If Britain's money lords wanted to
buy out their rival and run up charges
in United States style.
The British financial mission to
Brazil is making it's report now and
all the financial interests, especially
foreign capital, are looking on eagerly
and approvingly. British capitalists
have intimated that they would not
further invest in Brazil if the govern
ment did not give them greater con-
cessions. Their financial mission is
now advocating that policy and sug-
costing that the government sell out
its railroad and bank, but the Britains
modestly do not mention themselves
as possible buyers.

POLICE BEGINNING
AN NUAL WAR ON
HARVEST WORKER
Seen as Plot to Halt
/. w. w. Organizers

Especial to the DAILY WoRkER)
WICHITA, Kans., July GA drive
on BUNS" has been started by chief
of police T. ]. Thompson in connec-
ton with the local slave-market OPP
orators. The authorities" are coop
Grating with the employment hold-up
agencies to get the unemployed men
about town to leave for the harvest
fields. The division of spells between
the police and job-sharks has not
been announced, but the workers
know that they'll be the losers.
This move by the police chief is
seen as an attempt to halt organizing
of the harvest workers by the Agri
cultural Workers Industrial Union Of
the Industrial Workers of the World
which has been a large factor in
checking the low wage drives Of the
Commercial Clubs and counter act
ing the hold-up charges of the EN-
ployment agencies.
Arrest Unemployed.
All men seen drifting about town
and not known to be respectable
crooks or bootleggers will be given
the usual harvest season alternative
of Jail or the fields. Assistant city
attorney George Seifkin, will be spe-
cial prosecutor in police court to con-
vince the judge that if man won't
work in the harvest fields he won't
work at all and he ought to be put
in jail for treatment" until he
changes his mind.
The men will be forced to choose
between work on the municipal farm
and bum food and quarters and the
same for some farmer who is being
squeezed off the land by bigger rob-
bers. The police here and the en-
ployment agencies get the first shake
down on the workers, tho, and insure
their own profit if no one elses, not
even the farmers.
vagrancy is Charge.
Charging all unemployed men found
in towns with "vag" (vagrancy) is
the common graft at this time of the
year when so many of the big boot
leggers follow their clientele to cooler
resorts.

'pects of amalgamation, is worse than
useless as a teacher Of this subject
make up the chief points of Brow
der's article, although many others
are raised in this attack on what is
called IAN American Fabianism."
This is a timely question because,
as the declining powers Of capitalism
bring all class relations into sharper
relief, the stultifying effect of class
collaboration upon the infant efforts
of the rising proletariat struggling
against a world of enemies and con-
fusion, becomes more marked. Like
wise, the role of the liberal, always
seeking some impossible goal of a
painless birth of the new society, or,
more often, quite willing and even
anxious to keep the old system Of
brutal and bloody exploitation if it
will only wipe off some of the blood
and moderate its brutality the
Itreacherous role of the liberal also
becomes of more importance as his
tory carries all classes toward open
conflict. The LABOR HERALD earns
the approval of every Communist by
raising the question-"W Workers Edu-
cation or s-Education?"

new YORK STATE
WORKERS WORSE
OFF EACH MONTH
Volume of Wages Falls
by Millions
BY LELAND oLDs
ederated Press Industrial Editor)

Federated Press Industrial Edltor)
A sharp drop in the wages paid by
manufacturing establishments in New
York state during May brought down
the total paid each week to wage
earners to about sS4,OOO,OOO, accord
ing to Industrial Commissioner B. L.
Shientag.
Two months earlier manufacturers
were putting approximately $S7,500,
900 a week into the pay envelopes,
and about the same amount in May,
1923. The reduction in the amount
which wage earners can spend this
year as compared with last is more
than 1919 per cent.
Average Wage Only s27.54.
The average weekly wage during
May was S27.54 which compares with
s2s.16 in March, the peak month and
s2763 last May. Men received an
average Of $31.O4 week and women
is1656.
The total volume of factory wage
payments was smaller this May than
at any time since October, 1922, says
Shientag. But it is still 16 per cent
higher than the average for 1921. At
the low point of the last industrial
depression total weekly wage pay
ments in New York state factories fell
to about $27,5OO,OOO.
Cotton, steel, Way Down
Shientag's figures show certain in
dustries far worse off than the aver
age. Cotton mill payrolls in May
we're 1856 per cent below a year ago;
steel mills 1913 per cent. Other in
dustries reporting sharp reductions as
compared with May 1928 were glass,
27.9 per cent; automobile, carriage,
etc, 81; car, locomotive and railroad
repair shops, 21.5; shipbuilding, 32.5;
