HOUSE TO HOUSE
CANVAS SUNDAY
FOR GERMANS
Volunteers Called For
By F. S. R.

Sunday, March 9, is the day set
aside by the friends of Soviet Rus
STA and Workers Germany for a
house to house canvass on behalf OF
the German working class. 1t is an
opportunity for militants to show
their solidarity and friendship for the
workers of Germany.
A state of famine exists in Ger
many, especially in the industrial and
populous parts of Saxony, Thuringia,
the Rhine provinces, Silesia and Ber-
lin. These people are entirely de-
prived Of foodstuffs.
European Workers Aiding.
The workers of other countries are
doing their part. Great Britain,
France. Holland, the Scandinavian
countries, Italy and even Russia who
has lust gone thru a famine herself,
are doing their part thru the Inter-
national Workers Relief Committee
to bring help and courage to the
hard pressed German workers.
The American workers have made
a beginning in relief work for Ger
many. That work must now expand
and speed up if we are to take our
places along side of the workers in
other countries who are standing by
Germany's children. We, too, are a
branch of the international Workers
Relief Committee and we are ex-
pected to do our share.
Dime Means Meal.
We need volunteers for the house
to house canvass to be held on March
9, Sunday. The money that comes
in thru that canvass will be used
to support the existing soup kitchens
in Germany and to open new ones.
Every dime that comes in means a
meal for a hungry German child.
The American capitalists axe in
league with the German capitalists to
starve the German workers into slav-
cry. The American workers must
send help to their German brothers
to enable them to make their fight
against their oppressors. 1t is our
fight too. Lower standard Of living
over there will be reflected in a
similar movement here. By helping
Germany, you are helping yourself,
too. Remember Volunteers are
needed Sunday, March the 9th

Machinists Local Union 694 went on
record in favor Of the holding Of the
May Both Convention, pointing out
that now more than ever Is the need

Teapot storm which has already po-
litically buried many prominent poll

der an oil pool. Convinced that labor
could hope for nothing from the capt.
talist parties, Local 6o4 pledged its

HIGHER WAGES ARE
 INDICATED IN 1924
While Living Costs Have Risen, Earnings Have More Than Kept Pace

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-Wages throughout America at the outset of the new year will be on generally higher level than at any time in 1923, a survey completed by the Ma tional Industrial Conference board in- dicates.
 Costs of living also have steadily risen from month to month since last January l, but, according to the sur vey, the average workers earnings have more than kept pace with his higher living expenses. While wages grow by S:5 per cent during the 12- month living costs increased by 3.3 per cent, leaving the worker an ac- tual gain of 4.6 per cent in the pur- chasing power of his daily labor.
 "A general upward trend in wages which marked the year was combined with near-capacity production in many, major industries" says the re- port of the conference board, which is statistical bureau for a half hum dred of the largest employing cor porations in the nation.
 There was slight mid summer slackening in production, followed by some curtailment of employment. But wages suffered little reduction on this account. They are now close to the high level for all time, reached in 1920"
 November and December figures included in the survey are largely estimates, the latest available de- tailed data covering only the first 10 months of 1923. On this basis, says the report:
 Between January and October, average hourly earnings went from 50.1 cents to 56 centS, while average weekly earnings went from $25.0S to $2.14. The years period of peak employment was reached when Al more persons were working than on January l, 1923. but by the end of October the number has slipped back to the January level"
 The report sets. forth that in No vember the cost of living was 65.3 higher than in July, 1914, having de- clined 1912 per cent from the peak reached in July, 1920. And the work ers' real earnings, the purchasing power of his wages, were forty per cent higher than in July, 1914, says the report.

GREEk ASSEMBLY. WANTS REPUBLIC.
Both Parties AnixousIy Await Arrival Of Former Premier
 venizeios @

ATHENS. Jan. 1~Proposals for the overthrow of the Glucksburg dynasty were decided upon today by republicans and republican-liberal deputies to the newly elected assem- bly, of Greece, which opens tomorrow. The republicans, numbering 162. lun- der the leadership of M. Papanasta- sion decided also in principle for the creation of senate. or upper cham ber. by proclaiming as senators one- third of the deputies elected to the assembly and the nomination of oth- CT senators from among the political leaders and high officials.
 The repl blican liberals will propose the taking of plebiscite on the question of a republic if such change would not involve immediate ard grave external dangers.
 Many of the liberals disagree with the republicans and both parties are aEXiously awaiting the arrival of ex- Premier Venizelos, who is on his way from France. The preliminaries have appeared to throw doubt upon the claims of the republicans that they can command a majority of the deputies.
