Capital CentrGLizes
on Clothing Industry,
Says Sidney HiLInlGn

Concentration OF capital in the
clothing industry is continuing, says
Sidney Hillman, president, Amalga-
mated Clothing Workers, who dis
cussed union conditions with The
Federated Press here.
"Instead of the drift into the
smaller towns away from the strong
ly unionized centers, we find that
capital in the clothing industry IS
largely found in, the larger COM
munities and tends to increase in
amount and concentration there"
Hillman said. "a few manufactur-
ers each year attempt to set up
plants in out of the way localities
but the stream flows in the other di-
rection.
"When an employer goes else
where the union follows him and gets
cordial reception from organized
labor in the new district"
The so-called Golden Rule non-un-
ion clothing shop in Cincinnati, run
by an employer named Nash who
gets the platform for his goods at re-
Iligious conferences on the strength
of his ''golden rule" was condemned
by Hillman. 1t pays lower wages
and enforces worse conditions than
any union shop, he said, while the al
legged cooperative features are de-
fusion.
The Russian-American Industrial
corporation, organized by the Anal
gamated and now an integral part
Of the Russian clothing industry, is
preparing to issue another dividend
to its stockholders, Hillman said.

Eight-HOur Day IN

HELSINGFORS, Finland, Feb. IA.
The eight-hour day is still upon the
statute books of Finland, but in
reality it is myth.
The government has annulled the
law by the simple trick of granting
more and more exemptions to it.
Among the industries in which ex-
emptions are granted are the follow
ing: building industry in rural dis

and bridges; forestry and lumber
work; railways, postoffice and tele-
graph offices, the customs department,
hospitals and prisons.
The trade unions have entered Wig

On Top of the World

So far westward that it is travelling east
again, the course of American Imperialism
wends its way.
J. P. Morgan and Company are floating a
bond issue of $150O00,000 for the japanese
government. They are per cent bonds, sold
at 9215 and will therefore yield about 712
per cent to investors-a rate of interest that
will ruin any government.
This is the largest foreign loan negotiated
in the United States since the 100000
Anglo-French financing in 1915 and in respect
to the length of time the loan is to run-thirty
years-is the only one of its kind handled by
American fnanciers. The Dutch and Swiss
issues of the same loan are to be paid In
American dollars.
This event marks the consolidation Of Amer
lean fnanciers' world supremacy and as the
bulk of the proceeds of the loan will be spent
in the United States, little of the liquid capital
required will actually leave the country.
Japan is in a bad way. To the recOnstruc-
ton problems and expense caused by the
earthquake there is added the growing unrest
among the industrial workers. Her imperial
istic adventures in China have not been of the
most successful character and undoubtedly
one of the unmentioned concessions made by
Japan in return for the much-needed loan is

W. P. G. Harding, former head of the fed

Mexieo's government bonds are held by

All these ventures, say the capitalist press,
are aids to American prosperity Certainly
they indicate that the American wage-earners
toll hard and fast when the rulers allow them
to work or such huge SURPRISES could not be
piled up.
They are made freely because back of them
stands the army and navy and the will to
plunge the nation into war to collect from a
defaulting debtor. These loans force whole
peoples to pay tribute to American finance
capital, they strengthen the exploiters in the
war against the workers at home while from
their overlooking treasures comes the golden
flood that debauches the labor leaders, pub
licists and public officials.

Of the world.

MELBOURNE, Australia, Feb. IA.
The federal government has re-
fused to grant claim for equal pay
for the sexes employed in the federal
civil service. The claim was re-
fused on the ground that the wage
fixed for man had to be adequate
to maintain himself, wife, and two
or three children, while that fixed for
a woman was simply to provide nor
NAL necessities for single woman
living away from home.

Persecutors Are Defled.


CHICAGO, Feb. 14.-"The convic-
ton of Tom Connors in Sacramento
on a charge of 'corruptly attempting
to influence a juror is one of the
most serious things which has hap
pened for some time," declared Harry
Feinberg, secretary, General De-
tense committee, here. ut seems
that the instructions Of the judge,
utterly disregarding the specific Of
tense charged in the indictment, were
responsible for the verdict"
Feinberg has wired protest to
the district attorney Of San Fran
cisco, as follows:
"Be advised that the General De-
tense committee will continue to cir
cularize the citizens of California
who are potential jurors in what
ever manner it deems best. The
latest action of the Sacramento court
can only be compared with the old
czaristic government that has reaped
what it has sowed. Your boast that
this is the first conviction of its kind
in this country shows that anything
is possible under Judge Busick's
court"
Connors Circularized State.
In March, 1928, Connors, acting as
head of the California committee,
conducted campaign to have the
criminal syndicalism law of Califor-
MIA repealed, mailed 10000 multi
graphed copies of letter claiming
that it was a product of war hys-
terra, and violated constitutional
rights. One of these letters fell into
the hands of H. d. Arnold, one of a
panel of Jurors drawn soon afterward
to try a criminal syndicalism case.
Connors was indicted April 2, 1923,
on two counts: criminal syndfcalism
and corruptly attempting to infiu-
ence a juror.
The criminal syndicalism charge
was dropped. The first trial, July,
1928, ended in a disagreement. Be-
fore the second trial, which began
Jan. %, 1924, counsel for Connors
filed affidavits of prejudice against
Judge Busick and argued for a
change of venue. Busick denied his
prejudice. even tho he had been but
few days before reprimanded by
the California district court of APP
peals for wrongful instruction of a
jury, to the prejudice of the accused,
in criminal syndicalism trial. He
is also the judge who granted, a
short time ago, the blanket injunc-
ton against the /. w. w.
On Feb. 1, Connors was convicted
and on Feb. 5 was sentenced by
Judge Busick to five years in the
state penitentiary, and bail pending
appeal was denied.

An epidemic Of bank failures is
swearing the country but the public
is getting rather used to it and bank
crashes are no longer played up on
the front pages. Banks in rural sec
tions Of the country are shutting
their doors daily. Here in Chicago
during the past year many of them
have given up the ghost. The latest
to come in for undesirable publicity
is the State Commercial and Savings
bank. located at 1886 Milwaukee
Avenue. The bank faces receiver
ship after it has closed it's doors by
order of state bank examiners. The
great majority Of the deposits in the
bank were the savings Of workers.
The poor wage slave is heeced in
the shop and if he does manage to
save little and puts it in the bank
for rainy day, he stands a good
chance Of seeing some CRATER run
ming away with it.

Thirteen hundred Odd Feellows and

southwestern Idaho lodges swarmcd
over the beautiful new Odd Fellow
lodge building in Caldwell OF the
total number attending. it is estimated
that 900 were out of town members of
the two fratcrnai orders. Check OF
those served refreshments during the
evening placed the attendance at ZOO
while many local members OF the two
lodges, firing early of the tremendous
crowd, left before refreshments were
served.
Hilarity and fun were kcynotes of
the evenings program. So great was
the crowd that the spacious lodge hall
was jammed TO overhowing and the
dancing floor taxed to capacity with
the overflow crowd. Portions of the
program we're given both to the audi
ence in the lodge hall and to that in
the big ballroom.
One of the most hilarious stunts OF
the evening was speaking contest
between Mrs. Pearl MeClurg of Boise
state Rebekah president, and w. A.
Coughanour of Payette. Mrs. Nc
Clurg was given the subject, MY
impressions of visits through Idaho
while Mr.. Coughanour had to talk on
why Caldwell is Better Town than
Payette." Rules governing the con-
test specified that Mr.. Coughanour
was to hold Is pound piece of ice
so long. Mrs. McClurg continued
her address. When she hcsitated or
stopped, she got the ice and waited for
her opponent to suffer a mental lapse
and stop talking.
Forecasters who saw in Mrs. Nc
Clurg an easy victory in this contest
were not disappointed. Twice, in
sympathy for Mr.. Coughanour's rap
idly freezing hands, she stopped her
monologue. Both times Mr.. Coughan-
our failed to even start his address and
the ice was promptly returned to his
custody. Mr. Coughanour, as rec
ompense for his showing, was award
ed the ice as a prize.
Toy ballons. each bearing number
which entitled the captor to prize
were set adrift in the big crowd and
caused near riot while women, who
alone could win the prizes. endeavor-
ed to capture them. Another big bal
loon was liberated over the dense
crowd and furnished the utmost hilar-
ity while it sought resting place.
Other attractive entertainment num-
bcrs FROM the Elks MINSTREL show
were given. Dancing followed, music
being furnished by Forrest Sower and
his Jazz" orchestra.

ADVISE WINTER
7. B. CAMP PA|GN
Farm Bureau Believes
Present Poor Time
For Work

Recommendation that the Canyon
county anti-tuberculosis campaign
among dairy cattle be postponed until
next winter were made Saturday by
the Canyon county special committee
in the form of resolutions. Setting
forth arguments in favor of the winter
program. the resolutions point out:
Whereas the Canyon county farm
bureau sees the urgent necessity of a
campaign for the eradication of tuber-
culosis among the cattle of Canyon
County and desires the cooperation
to the fullest extent OF the federal.
state and county authorities. to the end
that there may be a thorough and
complete cleanup of the county, and
Whereas, because OF the fact that
the cattle of the county are largely
scattered during the spring and sum-
mer months and are punched and
more accessible during the fall and
winter months, making the work more
efficient and more economical il done
at that time.
Therefore we recommend to the
federal and state authorities. to the
county commissioners and to the pub
lie at large that the work be deferred
in Canyon county till the fall and win
ter months.
I'VE further recommend that copy
of this resolution be placed in the
hands of the county commissioners,
the federal and state authorities and
that this resolution be printed in the
county papers"
