JOBLESS FROM
CAMP And FEEL D
RUSH TO CHICAGO
Migratories Look for
Work Here in Vain

Thousands of unemployed workers
from out Of town are coming into
Chicago to look for work, the Saliva
ton Army hotels and the Illinois
free employment agency reports,
Most of these men make West Madi-
son and South State streets their
stamping ground.
For the most part they are mi
gratory workers who have worked on
farms and in lumber camps and on
road building gangs in the country
and, since winter set in, have started
their migration toward Chicago.
Earning low wages and paying high
prices for board and rooms while at
work, they land in Chicago broke or
neary so.
Snow ShOvelers Not Wanted.
The municipal lodging house on
North Union street is visited by
many of them during the course Of
the winter. Thomas W. Allison, man.
ager Of the lodging house, said that
this winter has been a particularly
hard winter on the migratory work
ers who make Chicago their winter
headquarters. One of the chief rea-
sons given was that this winter has
been bitterly cold and almost snow
less. Usually, migratory workers
get few days work quite often SHOW
cling snow. This winter only 400 ex-
ira men were employed by the street
cleaning department shoveling snow
and then only for couple Of days.
The manager of the Salvation
Army hotel on West Madison street
said that about 900 men a night sleep
there, and most Of them are from out
of town. They are all looking for
work, he said.
Employment Offices Closed
A large number Of the Offices Of
the labor agents, which used to line
West Madison street, are closed be-
cause no one is hiring workers. A
few shipments are being made to the
ice fields, but the few jobs offered
are soon snapped ups
Factory owners are not willing to
employ migratory workers, since they
will leave in the spring and new men
must be broken iu. So the migratory
workers wander the streets, sleep in
the municipal lodging house when
they can, or "carry the banner" all
night only to wander the streets next
day.

Slight BetrGyers,"
Is Miners Order
to ". Va. Delegates

West Virginia delegates to the
United Mine Workers convention
are warned to fight the reactionary
leadership of the organization and
to make no compromise with the be-
trayers of the 1922 strike in a mes
sage sent thru the DAILY WORKER
by members of local union No. 2999
in Wendell, w. Va. The message
reads:
To the Delegates of U. M. Of A.,
Indianapolis Our convention has
just started and we miners from
West Virginia say in loud and
emphatic tones to our delegates to
fight and struggle for our benefit.
We want to clean out the reac-
tionaries out of the United Mine
Workers organization. Don't COM
promise with anybody who was a
betrayer in the U. M. w. of A.
We have suffered enough from
crooked leaders and we have no
more confidence in them.
We cannot forget the strike of
1922 when we were sold out, los
ing many good members from our
organization. We oppose dis
elimination against men who lead
the working class towards better
conditions. So we advise you dele
gates thru the DAILY WORKER.

Coolidge Agrees
With Gary that
Consumer Is Goat

WASHINGTON, ID. president
Coolidge was politely advised today
by Ebert H. Gary, Chairman Of the
Board Of the United States Steel
Corporation, that elimination of the
12-hour day in the industry had in
creased production costs 10 per cent,
Chairman Gary's report is contrary
to the findings Of the presidents of
the independent steel companies who
last October announced that intro
duction Of the S-hour day in their
plants had not resulted in increasing
the cost Of production.
President Coolidge advised that
the added costs, desired by Mr.. Gary,
should be borne uncomplainingly by
consumers and the poor ultimate con.
sumer in "view Of the benefits to
the workers"

OIL CENTER OF
BIG STRUGGLE
ON in MEXICO
Wall Street Decides
Payment of Taxes
By BERTRAM D. WOLFE
tan Correspondent of the Federated Press)


MEXICO CITY.-0il has become
the center Of the military struggle
in Mexico.
While in Puebla, near the military
front, interviewed a representative
Of an important American oil COM
pany, inquiring especially as to the
intentions of the petroleum interests
in the matter of payment of taxes.
"That will be decided in New York, !"
he declared.
''Not in Washington" I asked.
''Naw, in New York" and he
laughed at my apparent naivette.
"We'll possibly pay taxes to both
factions" he added after a momen-
tary pause. "That's what we've al
ways done. During the revolt against
Carranza we paid him so much per
barrel and we gave the revolving gen.
eral, Guadalupe Sanchez (the same
man who is now fighting against
Obregon for the same oil felds) a
fiat rate Of $4,000 a month"
"Could you afford to pay two sets
Of taxes at the same timer"
''Cinch. Why, look here friend,
do you know what a barrel Of oil cost
us? And what we get for it? Taxes,
expenses, labor and all, we can de-
liver petroleum at one dollar per
barrel. That barrel represents AZ
gallons Of products that sell at an
average Of so cents gallon. Figure
It out for yourself, SON."
did. That barrel that costs them
81, taxes and all costs paid, delivered
at the port, nets them something like
$25. ] thought the Hughes famous
note on "confscatory taxes" at a
time when the tax on oil in Texas
was higher than the tax in Mexico.
When wrote down the figures in
question, the interview suddenly
stopped. But / had a new vision Of
the Importance of the battles of Tux
pan, Ciudad, Victoria and Huastecas.
The most important center OF
pstFoleum in Mexico is the state OF
Tapraulipas, whose port of export is
Talnpico. This remains in the hands
of the government, but de Ia Huerts
has proclaimed the blockade of Tam
pico, attempting to make it effective
with three of the four armored cr1is-
ers that make up the Mexican navy,
He hopes thereby to prevent the ex-
port of petroleum from Tampico and
the payment Of revenue to the fed
eral government. Also, if his block
ade is effective, it closes the only re-
manning federal customs house on
the Gulf coast. At the same time, be
has issued demand on the oil com,
panies that they pay their taxes 70
him, threatening them, first, with not
recognizing other payments, and
threatening Doheny with the destruc-
ton Of his oil properties if the taxes
are not delivered to the agents of the
fascist government.

asked Oates if his sons belonged to
the Bootleggers' Union.
by Cod" said Oates, eff there Is
such union and an initiation fee is
required the Oates boys will be there
to pay it."
Secretary Green demonstrated with
Delegate Oates, over getting so mucn
moonshine into the record and the
convention gradually became less
spiritual.
Delegate Prentiss Of Illinois, a
colored man, favored the committees
report. 1t developed that he was on
the payroll. His argument was, that
owing to the prejudice against the
colored miners in the union they
stand no chance Of being elected to
any Office in the power of the union
to give. Il was brought out how
ever, that he was elected from local
with approximately $50 white men,
bers and only $50 colored. He
praised Mr.. Lewis very highly.
Hindmarsh Sticks to Question
Delegate John Hindmarsh, of Hi
nois, delivered the only speech dur
ing this discussion that dealt with
the question at issue. He said the
majority Of the union members were
against the appointive power because
it placed too much power in the
hands of the president who no matter
how benevolent he may be was sub
iect to the temptation of using that
power to build up machine to per-
petuate himself in Office and use i
against his enemies. He noticed
that with hardly an exception every
appointed delegate to the convention
stood solidly with the administration
on every issue. Whether they did
this consciously or not he could not
say but it was fact and it had
demoralizing effect on the union.
They were opposed to the dictator
ship of any one man, no matter who
he was.
When Delegate ]. ]. Watt Of
Springfield, took the platform it was
expected that he would speak on the
question, but instead he moved a
closure on debate which was carried
What the result Of the roll call may
be cannot be predicted at this time,
but the administration forces are
leaving no stone unturned to secure
victory. The progressives are equal
ly confident.
