Mr.. MCGEE said that statistics
gathered by the fraternity show
an increasing and persistent demand
today for many more colored men
and women with college education
than can be supplied within the next
decade. He pointed out that the

HUGHES TRIES TO
SAVE ROUMAN|AN
OIL TO JOHN D.
Calls His Jay Home to
Talk it Over
tny The decorated Pressl


WASHINGTON, July 10.-Denial
is made by Secretary Hughes that he
has recalled Minister Jay from Rou-
mania as consequence of the en-
actment Of the confscatory law under
which the Roumanian oil capitalists
propose to get for a song the $780,
100000 worth Of .foreign-owned oil pro-
perties in that country. He says the
facts as to what the law will do to
foreign property owners are obscure,
and that is one of the reasons why
he has considered-but not decided
-summoning Mr.. Jay here for a con-
ference. Another question that needs
discussion is the debt of Roumania
to the United States.
Press reports of this so-called min
ing law adopted by the Roumanian
parliament at the dictation of Premier
Bratiano agree that it confiscates
practically all of the values of the
foreign oil operations, thereby rob-
bling Standard Oil and Royal Dutch
Shell particularly. The Roumanian
dictator does not even claim that he
is attempting this defiance of capital
list society's rules for the enrichment
of the state, but merely to put the
oil industry in the hands of Rouman-
ian capitalists.

Baku Fair Boosts
Persia's Trade In
Soviet Republics
lRosta News.l

MOSCOW, July 10.--In a special ar
ticle on the Baku Fair, the vice-chair-
man of the Russo-Oriental Chamber
of Commerce remarks that this year
the Fair differs largely and in favor
able sense from last years, which was,
so to say, but first real attempt at
finding way to commercial rap
proachment with the Eastern mar
kets and, sin particular, with Persia.
Indeed, last years Fair consolidated
the Soviet commercial bonds with
these markets, and, for instance, Rus
sian cotton cloths, sugar, hardware,
matches and petroleum have now won
a prominent and influential position in
the Persian market. Thus, trade be-
tween the Soviet Union and Persia
alone aggregated several tens of
millions of gold rubles during last
year, its general turnover now reach
ing about 35 per cent of the pre-war
figures.
The writer further points out to a
special feature, which is peculiar to
the trade relations between the Union
of Soviet Republics and the Eastern
countries, particularly The
Union does not confine its operations
to the export Of Soviet products into
those countries: 1t also imports from
those countries raw materials and
semi-manufactured products, doing it
in such a way as to help in the ameli-
Grafton and progress of agriculture
and the development of the productive
forces OF the Eastern countries. In
other words. the Union tries to make
its trade relations with the East high
ly beneficial for both parties con-
cerned.

VANCOUVER, B. c., July 1O.-Noth-
ing like sticking to a good thing.
That's what the big boat owners of
Vancouver figure. When the British
naval squadron arrived here, Admiral
Field, with innate respect for big
business, announced that no small
vessels could take visitors to the bat
tleships. 1t was signal for the big
steamship companies to Cleanup"
on the Union-Jack. All the respect
able ship owners, the Canadian Paci-
fic Steamship Co., the Union Steam
ship Co., the West Vancouver Ferries
allotted certain ships to each battle
cruiser and charged soc per head to
ferry passengers over, a distance
little more than stones throw from
the wharf.
Boycott Steamers.
So exorbitant we're these charges
that strong protest was made to the
city council here to have the fees re-
duced. A public boycott against the
big steamship companies was de-
clared.
Every effort was made to further
the militaristic idea in the minds of
the children, so that their impress
sionable minds are filled with the
glory Of killing. For their benefit
Admiral Field ordered a parade of
the marines from all three of the
battle cruisers. He took the military
salute surrounded by thousands of
school-children.
God Interested in Jack.
In every conceivable way has the
spectacular side of military life been
held before the children as a bait

was in the foundry five minutes and
had cold for four days. When /
came out Of the shop was pouring
sweat.
Macdonald. assistant works mana
ger, had told me, "Of course, we
haven't got the automatic assembling
and part making system down to the
science Ford has, as yet. But Wen
get there. It's bound to come. Spe-
cialization and Standardization are ne
cessary to keep pace with increased
production demand"
Ford Like Automatons.
The Ford system, found, is used
in assembling the tractor engines and
the tractor bodies. Along one side
of the assembling plant is a moving
runway, which slowly passes before
a long line of workers. Across against
the other wall is a similar moving
track. At one runway the men as
semble the tractor engines, and on
the other side the bodies of the trac-
tor. Later the engines are tested,
then put into the body of the tractor
and the wheels put on.
The work is monotonous, each man
as he stands there, repeating the
same process. True, as Macdonald
told me, they are not as fast at it
yet as in the Ford plant, and the
runway has to stop often for the men
to catch up, but they are getting
there. The ideal of every anti-un-
ion company such as the Harvester
is the use of the stop watch in con-
nection with the time clock. One of
the Harvester officials said to me,
You've seen a stop-watch haven't
you? Well, when we get the man
agement where it belongs every Sec
ond will count and all superfluous
motions will be eliminated. That's
scientific management. We well use
a stop-watch."
Before l left they gave me all sorts
of pamphlets advertising their COM
pany.

GERMAN MINERS
ORGANIZING FIGHT
ON EMPLOYERS
Ruhr Workers Behind
Workers Councils

Especial to the DAILY WoRKER)
DRESDEN, Germany, July 10.-The
national convention of the German
Miners union, held in Dresden the
week of June Is, was chiefly devoted
to discussing how to check the often
sive of the employers. who clearly
showed their hand in the recent lock
out of the Ruhr coal miners.
The miners insist upon democratiza-
ton in the mining industry. and will
put their influence behind the works
councils.
Backing AmaIgamation.
The miners also believe that ANAL.
gamation must supersede craft union
ism, and are backing the policy of the
General Federation of Trade Unions
of Germany in slowly Transforming
the craft unions into groupings by in.
dustries.
The precarious life of the miner was
brought home by the statement OF
President Husemann that 706 mem.
bers of the miners federation lost
their lives thru accidents in the mines
since the last convention, and that 263
had been seriously injured.
Big Membership Loss.
The union is smaller in numbers
than in 1921, the peak year. Then
there were 100000 members. Now
there are 265,00O. Some members have
joined the syndicalist Union of Hand
and Brain Workers. The general de-
rangement of industry in the Ruhr
valley since the invasion by the
French has thrown many out of mine
employment.
The convention urged that more
miners seek seats in the reichstag and
in the provincial diets, as the next
years will see the introduction OF i'm
portant legislation affecting mining.
The miners delegation will work for
gradual specialization of the mining in.
dustry thru its control and operation
by the government.
