The Second Battle.
Another struggle was precipitated
when Delegate Mahoney of st. Paul
offered a motion adding to the call
that all other organizations joining
in the call should be given two rep
resentatives on the national commit
tee. Supporting his motion Ma
honey said, "The workers and farm
ers Of the Northwest are for imme-
date action. They have called their
convention for May Both. They look
upon this organization with suspicion
because Of its hesitation and vacilla-
ton in the past, or as John Fitzpat-
rick called it "A dual organization

unite them and have one movement
you must give them representation on
the arrangements committee" OBJ
lection was raised to the fact that
the vagueness Of the motion would
leave in any one who would come.
Delegate Sullivan Immediately
moved the following amendment to
clarity the proposal: "That in addi-
ton to the nationafcommittee elected

shall be invited to send a represen-
tative into the national committee
with the same rights as members
elected by this convention provided
the organizations in question endorse
the call for the convention issued bv
this conference" Sullivan made a
powerful speech in support of his
amendment. Hillquit proposed that
the representatives should be subject
to the approval of the national com
mittee. Delegate Starkey Of st.
Paul declared, "The representation

Building Trades In
N. Y. Sign up with

NEW YORK, Feb. 12.-Practically
all the unions in the building trades
here have signed an agreement with
the Building Trades Employers As
ISOLATION. Only two unions are still
negotiating for settlement, these
being the composition roofers and
the waterproofers, who are asking
for an advance Of 80 cents a day,
to $3.50, and the stonecutters, who
have been offered $1,000 from Jan.
1, but who insist that this wage be
made retroactive from Dec. l., 1928.
The steamhtters have signed TO
work for $1,000 a day from Jan. l
TO Dec. 81, 1925; the housesmiths'
rates were increased to $1,000 from
Feb. 1. The duration Of the agree
ment with the structural ironwork-
ers is indefinite, while that with the
fnishers and ornamental bronze
workers runs into Dec. 81, 1925.
The elevator constructors have
signed for $1,000 a day up TO Dec.
81, 1926, dating from Jan. /. All
of these trades received an increase

GERMAN MARK
SUFFERS new
PAINTING FIT.
French, British Money
in Sympathetic Tumble

The German mark, which Is no
longer useful even as a vaudeville
joke, revived sufficiently to take an
other dive into the abyss into which
It has been rapidly sinking after
Woodrow Wilson's death last week.
Some financial observers are Of the
opinion that the demise of the for
mer American president merely CO.
incided with the further downward
progress of the mark while there are
others who attribute it's relapse
if the death wiggle can be termed
such--to the rumors floating around
Berlin that He'll and Maria Dawes,
the Chicago banking and obaeenity
expert, is not having pleasant sail
ing in the German capital and is
threatening to quit,
This is more likely to be the cause
of the marks new spasm Of financial
depravity than any feeling Of indig-
nation on the part Of the American
Legion over the refusal of the Ger
man embassy in Washington to
honor the memory of Germany's most
bitter enemy.
Figures mean very little to the
average person in relation to the
mark. One American dollar can buy
SO many of them that a good sized
forest must be turned into pulp
whenever a citizen Of the United
States asks for the change Of a
one dollar bill in paper marks.
Until the last furry it took 4,S4S,-
000,000,000 to exchange for dollar.
After Dawes cursed for quarter
Of an hour the mark dropped to five
trillions. Fear is expressed that
Mr.. Dawes may deliver a speech
which may necessitate the calling in
Of Arthur Conan Doyle or some one
who is on speaking terms with the
spirit world. The mark is becoming
a metaphysical problem.
The mark, however, is not the
only currency to hit the toboggan.
The French franc, Belgian franc, the
British pound and even the Italian
lire moved downward in harmony.
The French franc, formerly worth
20 cents in American money, is now
worth only Az cents and the Brit

Italian lire slid IA points and the
Belgian franc tumbled 105a points.
The Soviet chevronetz on the con-
trary is going up and quoted on
the New York exchange above the
British pound sterling.
General Dawes has threatened to
abandon his work on the PREPARATIONS
commission. Hope was expressed
that the American bankers would
grant a generous loan to the German
capitalists in return for hrst mort
gage on the economic life Of Cor
many, but evidently there is hitch
somewhere and the American money
lords will not save" that country
unless the wealth producing ma
chinery is handed over to them.
The capitalists are caught in the
revolving wheels If evolution and
cannot save themselves. A revolu-
ton that will sweep them from
power is the only salvation for the
world which has outgrown the cap
italist system. That is the explana-
ton of the falling currency.

visions. This is all the more nee
essary for the Negro because his
race is composed of farmer and la
borer in larger proportion than any
other race.
Resolution Assails Strike Breaking.
Employers are fiercely assailed in
another resolution, for trying to stir
up race prejudice by attempting to
use whites against Negroes and
Negroes against whites, during
strikes.
Other resolutions denouncing high
rent discrimination against Negroes,
white juries for Negroes, Jim Crow
ism in the army and navy, denial Of
liberty to the colored peoples of
Americas West Indian possessions,
may go thru without any opposition.
It is those resolutions which plan for
aggressive action of the Negroes as
workers against the tyranny of white
capitalists that will show the temper
of the congress--as group organ
izing for effective resistance against
oppression, or not.

this terror rides by night.
There are southern delegates who
say that if they speak their mind

very likely the rope when they re-
turn home. But the hatred which
they all feel towards the hooded or
der that the white capitalists are
using is evident.
Khan Murdered His Father.
One case where the Ku Klux Khan
took a hand in heightening the high
Negro death rate was told by DIR.
A. Wilberforce Williams, of Chi
cago, who addressed the delegates
on the health issue yesterday morn
ing.
Denying the fiction that the Negro
was congenitally weak or short lived,
he declared:
"My father, born a slave, lived I'M
til he was 76-when he was killed
by the Ku Klux Khan"
Negro mortality from disease is
high, however, said the speaker. In
surance statistics give the death rate
Of babies under one year as so per
cent. But this is not because of the
inherent qualities of the individual or
the Race but because Of the condi-
tions under which Negroes are forced
to live, he declared.
Lovett Fort-Whiteman, taking the
floor, showed that the negro death
rate is high because they are the
poorest paid industrial workers and
have to pay the highest rents. The
death rate is not matter of race,
he asserted, but Of living condi-
tons. AS the wages go down the
death rate goes up, therefore to lower
the Negro death rate his industrial
conditions must be improved.

in Mexican military history"
Describing the battle itself, Obre-
gon wired:
"The enemy had built modern en-
trenchments, carefully camoufaged,
and it was only with the greatest diff
fculty that our aeroplane scouts fer
reted out their positions
I'm spite Of this, after a heavy
bombardment, our loyal Indian
troops, for whom | have only the
greatest praise, crossed the Lerma
river under a terrific fire from ma
chine guns and rifles.

enemy lost 1900 casualties to per-
haps $50 on our side, altho 1t Is Inn
