Young girls work at break

Family men make three dollars and
seventy-fve cents day; young men
at the same work get much less and
are speeded up to the limit.
Ten days ago the entire candy de-
partment of the Morris Paper Mills
company went on strike after two
reductions in pay. The first reduc-
ton was from thirty-fve cents to
thirty cents per one thousand boxes.
The strike of the twenty men lasted
two days when they were forced to
accept further reduction. On return
ing they accepted the ruling that
double rate would count only on all
boxes above ten thousand instead of
double rate for above nine thousand
that previously prevailed.

French Offer
COMPROMISE
TO BANKERS
Morgan's Arrival in
London Is Awaited

Especial, to the DAILY WoRKER)
LONDON, July 3o.-That the
French will come to an agree
ment with England and Amer
lea on the Dawes plan seemed
more probable than ever when
the word came that the repara-
tons commission left Paris to-
day for London.
Tomorrow the inter-allied
conference will meet jointly
with the reparations commits
sion with the intention of
working out a compromise that
the international bankers and
the French nationalists will ac-
cept.
Herrlot's Compromise.
France controls the reparations
commission and is determined that
the right to take sanctions en-
force penalties against Germany
shall rest in the hands of this com
mission or a body controlled by it.
The latest Herriot compromise calls
for a tribunal of three to which all
questions arising out of the enforce
ment of the Dawes plan shall be re-
ferred, if the commissions decision
is not unanimous. This tribunal
would be appointed by the repara-
tons commission in agreement with
the Hague court.
Waiting For Morgan.
No definite decision is likely to be
arrived at by the combined confer
ences here until ]. Pierpont Morgan
reaches Britain. His arrival is ex-
pected by the end of the week
French delegates refuse to believe
that the terms Thomas w. Lamont
submitted to them are the last WORD
but it is expected that they will re-
gard whatever Morgan himself says
as final, to accept or reject.
Communists Accusing Masses.
Especial to The DAILY WoRkER)
BERLIN, July 3d. Supporters Of
the Marx-Stressmann government in
the Reichstag are becoming FESTIVE
at London's delay in inviting German
delegates over to discuss the details
Of the Dawes plan. Each day the is
sue is left suspended in the air is
playing into the hands of the Com
mupist opposition, they say.
Communists are conducting big de.
monstratiOns in the industrial cities
Of Germany against the Dawes plan,
and are denouncing the Social-Demo-
Gratis as traitors to the workingclass
in asserting to the international
bankers program for exploitation of
the industries Of Germany.

AS WE SEE 1T

There is very interesting strike
on in Seattle, Washington. The mem
bers of the Typographical Union en-
ployed on the Post-Intelligencer, a
Hearst publication have refused to
accept a reduction in wages and a
lengthening of hours. Thinking that
his millions could smash one isolated
local union, Hearst gave orders to his
local agents to lock out the men.
They are out but not down. Instead
of laying down they are carrying on
one of the most effective publicity
campaigns in the history of American
industrial strife. The strikers are is
suing a neat four-page paper which
tells of the strike situation and helps
to keep up the morale of the strikers.
Owing to the strike and the solidar-
ity of the workers behind the strikers,
the P. l. is losing circulation. AS a
result the advertisers are cancelling
their contracts. Capitalist newspa-
pers are published in order to make
profit for their owners. The sale price
of the paper barely pays for the ink.
The profit comes from the advertising.

'tion and consequently advertising,
Mr.. Hearst will fire the manager who
declared the lockout, and come to
terms with the union members. II
the scab manager succeeds the pub
Usher will increase his salary and try
the same stunt on his other papers.
The strikers are trying to break the
Hearst blockade by means of a boy

pom. But there are better weapons.

NEW YORK, July 3.--Writing at
the close Of the evening session,
there is nothing to report Of an
exciting nature. Roll call after
ron cali would have been monoto-
nous but for the fact that every.
body seemed to be keeping count
and ready to cheer gain OF a vote
or even half q vote for their candi-
date.
Mr.. McAdoo's vote rose from 415
on the thirty-first ballot to sos on
the last ballot. Underwood. Robin.
son, Salisbury, Ralston. Richie,
Cox, and Glass still hold their
States. II MIR. McAdoo could get
them, it gives him almost enough
to nominate him on the two-thirds'
rule, but there is no telling how
long they win hold out, or to whom
they will go when they leave the
favorite son. Possibly it will be
known before this article appears.
Effect on Future.
While we are waiting Tor news,
do not know Of anything better to
consider than the effect that this
convention win have on future con-
ventions. One thing is quite GER
tain, viz: That more attention will
be given to the rights Of the dele.
gates, and less to the passions Of
the gallery.
The situation is an exception this
year, because two issues that arouse
feeling had the New York portion
OF the. audience thoroughly aroused.
The vets were hopeful Of forcing
the convention to declare in favor
Of some modification Of the present
enforcement law, while the oppo-
nents OF the Khan were determined
TO secure an open denunciation Of
the organization. It is not likely
that two such questions will enter
30 largely into the consideration OF
q locality. But no matter where
the convention Is located or what
the local conditions are, it is time
70 reform the entire plan Of the
convention.

The income. derived from them
would furnish all the money neces-
sary for the payment of convention

When city gives large sum
to secure the convention, 1t naturally
secures large number of tickets.
and these are so distributed as to
give advantage to residents Of the
city, even to the exclusion of those
who come long distances to attend

But this is the. least Of the evils.
There Is no reason why there
should be an. enormous hall. with

the convention-and surely 1t Is i'm

Only Few Can Be Heard.
Why should the best political

SHADOWS DO NOT FADE

Freak shadows that do not fade away at once when the objects that cast them are removed are described by s. Leonard Bastin in St. Nicholas (New York;, says The Literary Digest. We read
 ''In the great oil regions of Cali fornia, pools of crude petroleum are quite commonly seen. Here the oil is allowed to remain until it is stored away in barrels. One of the curiosities of the district is the freak shadow which these ponds of crude oil pro- duce. If, when the sun is shining brightly, a person stands so that his shadow falls across the surface of the petroleum, a very remarkable thing happens. Should the individual change his place, strange to say, the first shadow remains on the oil, while the person casts second shadow from his new position. The longer the individual has been standing by the oil pond, the longer will the original shadow remains. The explanation of the mystery is sim pie:
 Under the influence of the hot sun, gas is freely produced in the crude oil. This rises to the surface in the form of millions of bubbles far too minute to be noticed by the human eye. When a shadow is cast over the surface of the petroleum the temperature is reduced, and this has the effect of checking the production of bubbles. The result is that the shaded areas looks different from the part which is exposed to the sun. Now, when the person moves, the temperature of the oil which has been shielded from the sun does not at once get back to its former warmth It takes a little time to heat, and, until this actually happens, the shadow eff feet persists, giving the curious ap- pearance which has been described"

ANNUAL MASONIC
 EVENT 4 SUCCESS
Field Day Exercises Held For
 Charity Fund

WASHINGTON, July 5.-Masonic lodges and other organizations in this city united for the annual field day at the baseball park to raise funds for Masonic charities, The main feature on the program was the Grotto-Shrine baseball game, with a tinge of comedy supplied by Nick Altrock, specially brought back by Clark c. Griffith, president of the Washington Baseball club, from Philadelphia for the occa- sion.
 Drill teams in their gay uniforms added brilliance to the scene and re- ceived much applause. Daughters of Job, Order of De Molay, Almas Temple, Order of Mystic Shrine, Kalipolis Grotto, Knights Templar and other or ganizations were represented in the competition. Almas Temple band and two Grotto bands furnished the music for the occasion. The Order of the Eastern Star was exceptionally ener- getic in the sale of tickets, and the sale of programs at the park was also under it's supervision.
 This year change is being made in the disposal of the money received. Formerly the money was turned in to the endowment fund of the Masonic home, but with over twenty children liy- ing under the same roof with the aged in the home, it was decided to use the proceeds this year to build a dormi- tory for the children. Complete re- turns have not been received, but from present indications a sum in excess of $20,O0O will be available for this good work.
