this is done in the near future will
indicate whether the convulsion in
the ranks Of the !. w. w. is a symp-
tom of decay symbolized by petty per-

energy brought about by a revival Of
revolutionary policy and revolt against
the lethargy, pacifism and liberalism
which in recent years has been laying
its paralyzing hand on the organiza-

represented by the prominent part
played by the rank and file committee

supposition appear to be the more
probable. What is lacking yet, is a

MORGAN AGENT
SEES VICTORY
OF DAWES plan
Owen D. Young GIeeful
at London Meet

LONDON, August 1.-owen
D. Young, president of Nor
gan's General Electric company
and member of the experts
committee, triumphantIy an
nounced this morning that the
Dawes program was winning at
the inter-allied conference.
''We'll finish up this after
noon," he told newspapermen.
The Morgan agent made this
statement after leaving the
British foreign Office where he
had been in consultation with
representatives Of the British
and the French governments.
He holds the belief that the Her
riot compromise proposals have saved
the conference from breaking up and
saved the Dawes plan for information
al control of German industry and
finance.
The opinion is expressed by q
majority of the delegates that suf
ficient unity will have been achieved
by Tuesday next to invite the German
representatives. 1t is expected that
by that time the Anglo-American
group will have come to some kind
Of an agreement with the French on
the disputed issues, chief among
which is the question of the amount
of administrative control which shall
still remain with the French-con
trolled reparations commission.
The dispute between the French
and their rivals turns on this matter
of the Preparations commission. The
Herriot compromise leaves most OF
the PREPARATIONS administration in the
hands of the old commission: the
proposed tribunal of three, on which
an American would hold the balance
of power, would have judicial power
but the administrative organization
is more important.

Efforts of a third group to recon

met with a cold reception. Both sides

bership and preparing for a struggle
for control. The rank and file com.
mittee is very much in evidence
around the general headquarters. The
administration group has already sub.
mitted to the membership the ques-
ton of calling special convention
to decide the issue.
Revolutionary Clarity Lacking.
The whole situation is reminiscent
of some of the early struggles of the

the paper pulp watts and from the roll

No Labor Organizations.
There are no labor organizations in
town, no union meetings and no or
ganized rebellion against the sm/g
hypocricy of the middle class rulers
of the town who are content to see
the young women and men labor in
this Leopold mill at any price, rather
than take their purchasing power to

the attitude: eff / only had the

Child Labor.
Out of every ten persons in the
town works in the Leopold plant. At
least one-half of the population has
worked there at one time, generally
in early youth. One girl, herself
scarcely more than 10 years old, said,
They don't require you to show a

you on machine stitching, cutting,
folding or stamping. If you say you

away, but put you at Jobs sorting ma
terial or carrying the boxes"
Another girl admitted to the DAILY
WORKER that she is only twelve
years old. She gave her age to Will

receive more wages, and have their
hours shortened. The reply, unless
the person works in the factory, is
generally long while in coming.

George T. Bishop, president OF the

that while the road was not IN a po-
Sition to help finance the projcc. it
was willing to operate it without

would be offered bankers and invest

Program Mapped Out.
The program as outlined includes ::
That the Legislature be Saked to
authorize Calvert and Anne Arundel
counties to issue bonds to the eX-
tent of 100000.
turers' Association of Baltimore or
ganiZe a committee to interest local
bankers to make up as much as $780,

funds.
That the state roads commission be
asked to make up a part of the need
ed funds because of the latter'S use
of parts of the old road bed of a
previous project.
That the Washington. Baltimore
and Annapolis Railway Company OPP
crate the line, either as an electric
line or with gasoline motor trains.
Survey of Cost.
That a survey be made to determine
the cost of electrication of the line,
the amount of gross revenues that
would be possible, and whether the
road would pay twice it's interest
requirements.
Chairman Maloy pointed out that
there was q real need for the line
and that it would open up a field
he believed. would some time be a
paying project for transportation.
Ridgely Melvin declared he was
sure Anne Arundel county would
guarantee it's share of the interest on
the bonds.
Cook Webster OF Solomons Island
said he believed Calvert county
would not do this unless it is shown
there is sound financial backing be-
hind the project.
The road would cost in the neigh
borhood of $1,500.000.
