Mutiny Leader is

officer who refused to fire upon the
Russians when the French government
commanded after the war, was the
hero of the Communist gatherings

speaker for the proletariat wore him
self voiceless urging the cause Of revo-

Marty told OF his horrible imprison-

than any yet written OF prison life,
and the officials Of France have not
denied its truth.
Tired workers thronged to hear the
famous Frenchman of the people and
brought their wives and babies. Tiny
tots wore red caps with gold-embroid-

Soviet hope in their parents hearts.
Marty tells the weary workers in

BRITISH COAL
WAGES RAISED !
BY new PACT
Naturalization Still
Urged by Miners

A wage settlement considered a pars
tial victory for British coal miners fol-
lows the report Of the court Of inquiry
that practically every class of day
worker was worse off under the curs
rent 1921 agreement than in 1914. But
the miners still believe, according to
Secretary A. ]. Smith of the Miners
Federation, that the only solution of
the wage question is voluntary unfit
cation of the industry or else nation
alization. The court found that in
certain districts miners were receive
ing less than pre-war earnings while
owners got profits in excess of those
in pre-war years.
40 Per Cent Above Pre-war Level.
The new agreement, which is for
one year, was reached in three-day
conference in which the owners con.
ceeded a minimum wage for all day
workmen in any district, to be not
less than 40 per cent above the pay of
the lowest paid day worker in that

years. The owners also agreed to

per cent above 1914 average wages.
The new agreement reduces the
owners standard profits from II per
cent to Is per cent of standard wages
(1914 average) and provides that ex-
cess profits shall be divided SO per
cent to wages and IL per cent to prof.

and II per cent to profits as in the old
agreement.
(Note: The cost of living has been

NEGRO JUNIORS
WIN BOY SCOUTS
TO COMMUNISM
Negro Young Workers
League Victorious

Twenty little Negro Boy Scouts,
used to meet in full force every Sun
day at the Community House at 1901
S. Wabash Ave.
Twenty little Negro Communists,
organized into junior group by Com
rade Howell Phillips, began two
months ago to meet in the next room.
Then the 20 little Negro Scouts, like
the little Negro boys of the old nur-
sery rhyme, became steadily fewer in
number. One by one, they succumbed
to the revolutionary fervor of the
comrades next door.
AS a result, the 20 little Negro
Communists are now looking for
other quarters, in which landlords
hope, there will be less chance to de-
tract from landlords regulations and
the reputation of the class to which
landlords belong.
The rapidity with which the con-
version of the Boy Scouts was taking
place finally led Mrs. Mckinley, in
charge of the Community House, to
ask the Communists to leave. AS a
rule Mrs. Mckinley observes strict i'm
Partially in such matters, and let's
the American Legion and the south
side branch of the Workers party
meet in the same front parlor on al
ternate weeks.
When Scoutmasters began to com
plain that the same children, which
had once appeared at fiag-waving
rituals, were now to be seen playing
revolutionary games and discussing
revolutionary problems, however, Mrs.
Mckinley thot that matters had gone
far enough.
Comrade Phillips asks that girl
comrade volunteer to help in the
junior group on Sunday afternoons.

Union Investments In
Co-operatives to Aid
Workers in Strike?

SYDNEY, June 9.-Close co-opera-
ton of the consumers co-operatives
with the trade unions in time of
strike and industrial peace, which
will strengthen both groups, has been
proposed by the Consumers Cooper
alive congress of Australia. Trade
unions are urged to invest their sur
plus funds in the New South Wales
Wholesale Cooperative society.
Union funds so invested would not
only draw a good interest, but in time
of strike the entire funds would be-
come available in the shape of cred
its for food and other supplies. The
purpose behind this unique plan is to
prevent the starving of the workers
back to their jobs by the big whole
sale corporations, who refuse to sup
ply retailers in the industrial fields
where men are on strike, thus cutting
off the food supply and starving the
workers into submission. The coop.
erative wholesale will stand behind
the local cooperative stores so that
they cannot be affected by such tao.

lspseIaI to The paIIy w0rkerl

ODESSA, May 1924. (By mail. y
Odessa is one of the largest seaports
on the Black Sea. There are always
foreign ships calling at the port, and
one can always meet foreign sailors
in town. Before the revolution the
foreign sailors used to go ashore for
"a good time" and the saloons and the
Red Light district were well known to
them.
Seamen Feel at Home.
Now when a foreign sailor lands in
Odessa he looks up the International
Seamens' Club, at Boulevard Field
man, where he is sure to find news
paper in his own language, and meet
people who speak his tongue. He
feels at home in the land Of the
Soviets. The seamen's union takes
care of its foreign guests and enter
tains them in wholesome, healthy
way.
On the first of May, they had a con-
cert and meeting in the International
Seamens' Club with speakers in Rus
sian, German, English, Greek and
other languages. They sang the In
ternational in many different Ian
guages.
The seamen's union publishes in
Odessa newspaper called THE Sea-
man." which prints in every issue a
short editorial in English.
Unveil Lenin Statue.
On May End, while the city was still
celebrating the International workers
holiday, the shipbuilders of the Marti
& Badin works, solemnly celebrated
the unwilling of the monument of
Nicholas Lenin.
The workers collected the neces-
sary money among themselves and
the best design adopted was also sub
mitted by a worker The monument
was unveiled in the presence of repre-
sentatives of labor unions, the army,
childrens' homes, public schools, etc.
The monument stands in the center
of the great works and is probably the
only one in the world standing within
the gates of factory.

DON BIAS, Ukraine, May 2O.-(By
MaiD Don Bias is the metal heart Of
the Russian Ukraine. Here are the
great salt, iron and coal lands. In the
neighborhood of Constantinevko are
great quantities of peculiar sand
from which glass is made. And in the
great glass factories the furnaces are
glowing and production is being car
ired on at great speed.
Workers Respond With Aid.
Here, as everywhere, we were met
with great enthusiasm. The workers
are revolutionary and are filled with
feeling for international solidarity
Their response to our appeal for Inter-
national Red Aid is splendid. Their
interest in the working class condi-
tons and their hope of revolution in
other countries are constantly ex-
pressed. They passed a resolution of
thanks to us and another resolu-
ton to aid the international class war
prisoners.
Passing thru the splendid glass fac
tories the following morning, the work
ers grouped around us once again ask
ing dozens of questions about Ger
many and America and the growth of
the Communist party abroad. 1t is
inspiring to be with them. With Rus
sia's immediate problems before them
and life of work they yet take
passionate interest in the information
al struggle and the various phases of
the struggle in all countries.
In Cherbinefko, mining town, we
were met with the same enthusiasm.
Here are splendid lot of comrades
The young Communists especially are
a splendid revolutionary bunch and
piled us with questions.
The meeting here was also a great
success, resolutions being passed to
aid faithfully in the splendid under
takings of the Mopr international
Red Add.
Inspiring Party Meeting.
But Krematorfsky, the center of the
great smelling, machine and coke
works is the revolutionary gem of the
whole district. We were present at
one of the most inspiring party meet
ings 1 have ever witnessed. Twenty
seven new members were accepted as
candidates into the party. These
splendid metal workers, the cream of
the Russian Soviet, spoke.
They have had revolutionary train
ing in plenty. Seventeen times the
beast Denikin took possession of
their town only to be thrown out
seventeen times by the Krematorfsky
reds.
They raised the roof this time cheer
ing for the Mopr and international
solidarity and we had to get on our
feet time and again to speak and give
them all the information for which
they were thirsting. A resolution was
passed to give regular help to the
Mopr amid cheering.
These brawny comrades have been
tried both in the fire of the great coke
and metal works and also in the revo-
lutionary battles. Russia is safe with
them. They have won. Russia has
won.

PRIEST FINDS
PRAISING GOD
GOOD BUSINESS
Greek Meets Greek In
Contest over Spells
BY HELENE WOLF.

Finding that independent priesthood
did not pay, Father Leon Pegeas Of
the Greek Orthodox Church, was on
the verge Of returning to the guardian
ship of his mother church, according
to testimony in the superior court of
Cook County today. Every rich Greek
restaurant owner in Chicago has an
interest in the case of Father Pegeas'
estate now in progress before Judge
Swanson. The reverend fathers little
investments in religion evidently paid
him well, for the estate amounts to
about 100000.
No EntangIIna Alliances.
Father Pegeas belonged to the
Greek Orthodox Church, as directly
under the command of the Holy
Synod of Athens as the Roman Catho-
lie is under the domination Of Rome
But Leon got tired of his bosses. He
decided to set up in business for him
self.
He found this the easier because
there was a split in the Greek church.
At the time Venizelos, Greek premier,
got rid of King Constantine, the Greek
opium vendors in this country began
to find the rule of Archbishop Troi-
anus of Athens irksome.
Bishop Alexander Of the United
States then started the New Church"
and, having first obtained divine per-
mission by one of those mysterious
methods known only to priests, ap-
pointed himself Archbishop of North
and South America. The religious
Greeks in this country at once began
to quarrel among themselves.
Population Increased But
At this time Father Pegeas quit his
rich Greek clientele and started in on
his own, as an independent priest.
However, witnesses say, he decided
some months before his death to go
back to the Holy Synod, because he
could not make a good living with
out them" that is, the reverend
father found that the corporation
handled the biggest end Of the bust
hess, anu ne COulu uOL compete. MAI
riages had fallen of appallingly, and
as for christenings.
According to the rule of the Holy
Synod all property of priest reverts,
after his death, to the mother church.
But the fact that Father Pegeas wan
dered from the fold complicated mat
ters. There are too many good
shepherds to claim the wool of this
black sheep.
Who is to Own Sheep?
That the case is important is evil
denced by the counsel retained,
among them ex-senator ]. Hamilton
Lewis, and by the prominence of the
witnesses. The richest Greeks in the
city take the stand, squabbling over
the character Of the church that is
to exploit the Greek proletariat. Roy
alist or bourgeois? The court will
decide temporarily which is to be
