Eight-Hour Day Is
Law In Mexico, Not
So In United States
tnx nc Federated Pressl

WASHINGTON, April 29.-Ambas-
sador Warren, after preliminary
examination of the grievances which
have led to a second strike of workers
on the American-owned Los Mochis
sugar plantation in Sinaloa, has ack-
nowledged that the demand for an
eight-hour day is justified. The Mex
lean constitution guarantees the eight
hour day to laborers. The Mexican
News Bureau here is informed that
the strikers had been compelled to
work in 12-hour shifts, at so cents per
day.
The United Sugar Co., which is the
American name of the Los Mochis,
is reputed one Of the biggest and most
prosperous foreign concerns in Mex
leo, and is easily able to pay decent
wage. The oil companies pay as a rule
SIPS for eight hours work.

Exploiter OF Child
Mill Slaves Wants
Germans To Starve

WASHINGTON, April 29.-When
Senator Dial of South Carolina, cot
ton-mill magnate and foe Of the child
labor law, protested against the pro-
posed appropriation of $10,000,000 to
feed the starving women and children
of Germany, he was taken to task by
Sen. Copeland of New York.
Copeland suggested that Dial's own
children were we'll enough nourished,
and that even if it were permissible
to hate the soldiers of Germany it was
not decent to hate the women and chill
dren who make up 80 per cent of the
population.
II have seen tens of thousands of
these starved children. their every
bone showing in their thin little
bodies" said Copeland. "and have
seen thousands who had not cut their
teeth up to the age Of ten years. The
well-nourished children Of my South
Carolina friend cut their teeth in the
first months of their existence.

der-fed Of these victims Of hunger.
Nine cases of new arrivals who had
developed the disease after reaching
this country, were brought to a clinic
from one district in New York City.
Let us feed the children in Germany
and put down disease for our own pro-
lection. If we have no better motive"

CAT MAKERS WILL
HOLD FIRST BIC
MEET THURSDAY
Union And Non-union
Workers To Fight

Union and non-union capmakers are
to join in gigantic mass meeting
in Crawford Hall, Roosevelt Road and
Crawford street, Thursday afternoon,
in which they will discuss their griev-
ances and make plans for the con.
duct of the strike.
Several bosses called for a COM
mittee of three workers to negotiate
with them before declaring the strike
effective, but the bosses backed out
at the last minute. Thursday, May
Day, will be the first day of the
strike against the stubborn bosses.
The union has already negotiated
with the Capmakers' Association to
the extent that no strike, no stoppage
Of work, and no lockout will occur.
A committee of five workers will ap.
proach the Association and attempt
to arbitrate their differences which
remain after May 18th.
A large crowd is expected at the
May Day mass meeting. Most of the
capmakers are organized and will
welcome this chance of getting their
unorganized fellow workers into the
union. Both men and girls work at
the trade and belong to the union.
The girls are mostly lining makers.
The union anticipates early settle
ment with the Uniform Cap Makers.
There are only four of these shops
and they have somewhat better con-
ditions than many of the other shops.
Their work is steadier and lasts long
er. Some of the shops work at least
so weeks of the year and pay fairly
well. The union is planning negotia-
tons now with the Uniform Cap
Makers.
Many of the manufacturers can sup
ply work only 35 or 40 weeks of the
year. A few have less than this.
When the workers demand 4S weeks
guaranteed work, they are not press
ing the boss, because numerous shops
work at least that much of the year.
The union asks that an unemployment
fund be made by the bosses if they
cannot assure their workers of As
weeks work
tenWorkers make from $50 to S45 a
week now, when they work, but the
varying periods of unemployment cut
down the annual average. The union
is asking for a $40 minimum wage.
The work is standard production"
not piece-work or sweat-shop.
New York Capmakers have already
won their strike and their Chicago
workers expect to win theirs as
readily.

RIGHT TO MEET
American Legion Plays
A Losing Game

WILKES-BARRE, April 29.-"The
Teapot Dome Scandal and Civil Liber-
ties" will be discussed here Tuesday
evening, April goth at mass meeting
arranged by the Workers Party and
American Civil Liberties Union.
George Powers of New York, a mem
Der Of the Sheet Metal Workers
Union, and prominent speaker from
the Civil Liberties organization will
address the meeting which will be
held at 139 South Main st. The last
meeting arranged here by the work
ars were broken up by the American
Legion, which subsequently was given
authority by Mayor Hart to decide
what meetings shall and shall not be
held in Wilkes-Barre.
Labor Fascist Active
This action has been denounced by
the Central Labor Union, members
of the local clergy have delivered
sermons against it, and Attorney Gen
eral Woodruff has recently sent let
ter to Mayor Hart pointing out that
this outrageous denial of free speech
was a source of great embarrassment
to both himself and Governor Pinchot
Tuesday night the workers will find
out whether the combined forces of
local reaction can continue to sup
press working class meetings in this
city. A loyal response to the call be-
ing sent out to attend this meeting
will do more than anything else to
break up local fascist rule.
Old Party Graft Issue
Every possible means is being used
to notify workers of all nationalities
and it will be up to them to demon
strate their loyalty to their class by
being present. They will thus show
their determination to establish their
rights and also acquaint themselves
fully with the meaning of the cor
ruption of the Democratic and Repub-
lican parties and the complete con-
troll of both by Big Business as ex-
posed by the present Senate investi-
cation into the Teapot Dome Oil Scan
dial.

Section Men Get
Short Work Day,
Decreased Pay

DRESDEN, Ohio, April 29.-Owing
to lack of business, the Wheeling and
Lake Erie Railway has cut the day of
the section hands to hours, in order
to maintain high dividends, according
to a special correspondent of the
DAILY WORKER.
The railroad company has previous
ly worked the section hands hours
in winter and 9 to 10 hours in sum-
mer. Present indications are that the
company will lay off numbers of the
sections hands soon. Reduction of
hours alone is insufficient decrease on
the payroll in this time Of depression;
so that the workers are hit twice. The
men gain shorter weekday with
short time pay and stand the chance
Of a lay-off at any time.

Request T. u. E. L. Be
Ousted In Council

LOS ANGELES, Calf, April 2S.-
The Central Labor Council here has
followed the lead Of the Metal Trades
Council in respectfully requesting
unions to withdraw their delegates
who are members Of the Trade Union
Educational League.
The motion was debated at length,
but finally adopted to exclude and dis.
crminate against the most active
members of the Central Labor Coun.
ell, Just as the metal trades had done
in their own council This action is
the result Of several bitter battles on
the council floor The motion as fin
ally adopted is much milder than the
original stiff-necked stand which de-
manded expulsion for T. U. E. L. mem
bers.

Child Labor Has
Chance AS House
Passes Resolution

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 90
The first step towards breaking the
thirty years fight in Congress against
any national child labor legislation
was made yesterday when a resolu-
ton proposing an amendment to the
Constitution was passed last night.
Representative Foster introduced
the resolution, which fixes a maximum
amount OF work for children. Most
states, Foster said, have accepted this
maximum; so that the opposition's
cry OF Invasion OF states rights" is
meaningless.
The amendment will empower Con-
gress TO limit, regulate. or prohibit
the labor OF children under IS years
Of age. All efforts TO modify the meas
ure were squashed. The vote was 2s7
to SO. SO more more than the neces-
sary two thirds. The vote by parties

meeting here for whole year engen-
dered tremendous enthusiasm for the
one addressed by Earl Browder and
J. w. tombstone last night in Credit
Union Hall. About one hundred and
fifty workers came to hear the mes

mate contact with the militants in the
Industries. in the fight for amalgama-
ticn. for the June 18th Farmer-Labor
Party Convention, and for Recognition
of Soviet Russia.
tombstone, assistant secretary of
the National I. U. E. L., in his sturdy
forceful manner, covered the many In
ternational Conventions he was privi-
legged to attend. including the recent
Miners Convention. The small band
of progressives, their ceaseless fight
against the reactionary machine, the
autocratic tactics of the labor mis-
leaders were recounted to show what
handful Of determined workers
could accomplish against seemingly
impossible odds.
Browder Analyses Labor Parties.
Browder, editor of the Labor Her
aid, dug deeply into the economic and
political structure Of the country. He
analysed the divisions in the labor
movement, the class divisions be-
tween the exploited rank and file and
the exploiting labor leaders allied
with the employing class. He pointed
out the differences in the British La
Dor Party, a revolutionary force his
torically, and the alphabetically
minded leaders of that party. Some
such condition would probably result
in America in the early stages of the
Labor party movement.
The movement for labor party in
America took the form not of a La
Dor Party, but for Farmer-Labor
Party. The farmers are a definite rev.
dictionary force, because of the large
proportion of them whose property
has been taken from them. This per-
mits an alignment by the farmer with
the worker, who sells his labor power
to the capitalists. In closing, Brow
der urged the Importance Of launch
ing local State and City Farmer-Labor
Parties, referring to the planned June
LIST Convention in Boston, where a
State Farmer-Labor Party will be
launched.
The Boston T. U. E. L., under whose
auspices the meeting was held, plans
to hold similar meetings every month,
to which will be- invited militants
from all points in the state. 1t was
announced that meeting of the build
ing trades group would take place on
Wednesday April SOth, at D. M, at
90 Pemberton Square. Boston.

Movie Operators
Protest Firetrap
School Conditions
BY MIRIAM ALLEN deFoRp

BY MIRIAM ALLEN deFORD
(staff Correspondent Of the Fed. Press)
SAN FRANCISCO, April 29.-Two
echoes Of Upton Sinclair's Goslings
came from recent events affecting
California schools. One is the COM
plant from the Motion Picture
Operators union that films are being
shown in schools under conditions
that are Illegal and constitute fire
menace. Machines are erected in
wooden school buildings in San Fran
cisco and their operators disobey a
city ordinance which requires a nom
infammable booth to enclose the ma
chine. Incidentally, many of these
socalled educational pictures shown
in schools are purely anti-labor propa-
gapda.
The other item comes from Santa
Cruz, where the high school princi-
pals convention is in session. The
principals voted to protest the remov-
al of Muzzey's American History from
the schools, commended the book
HASHAJ, anu AOquOotSu SHdI IL NC AS-
tanned as textbook in California. It
is this history, together with Albert
Bushnell Harris, that has been the
subject of much controversy, largely
actuated by the commercialized press,
because it was not sufficiently sub
servient to some of the myths and
legends Of colonial days in America
and the American revolution.
