Most Workers Paid Less
Than SIS Weekly
BY SCOTT NEARING.

The wages Of 7oO,OOO Massachusetts,
workers form the subject Of a recent
study by the state bureau Of labor sta
tistics. These figures are taken from
the payrolls of the employers in manu-
featuring industries and cover 1922.
They are compiled separately for men
and women, and are classified accord
ing to the amount Of the wages.
There were 464,329 men working in
the manufacturing industries Of the
state in 1922. Among these 5 per cent
received less than SIS per week. The
figures for the other groups are: SIS
but under s25, 21S,O1S men or AZ per
cent; $25 but under s35, 14s,761, or
80 per cent Of the men; sS5 but under
S45, $500 men, or ~ per cent Of the
total.
Among the entire group Of nearly
half a million, there were only 1875

More than half of all the men. re-
ceived less than s25 per week. Mere

Among the 206,0Ss women the wag-

GERMAN HOUSES
Tyranny Continues in
Rhine-Ruhr Regions.
By LOUIS P. LocHNER.

(Staff Correspondent Of the Fed. Press)
DUSSELDORF, Germany, June a.
Passive resistance has stopped in the
Rhine and Ruhr regions, but this does
not mean that the people there are en-
joying liberty. On the contrary, the
French occupation is becoming more
irksome. One Of the most serious
problems is housing.
Dusseldorf normally has 100000 in
habitants, but its population is in
creased by 100000 thru Frenchmen
connected with the military, civil and
railway administration. The French
had until recently Communicated 81
palatial villas and 4,1SO houses-over
1900 rooms. The other day they
demanded 500 additional flats, which
meant that the inmates had to
evacuate helter-skelter and take refuge
in hotels and hospitals.
French Commander Housing.
But finding place in a hotel is no
easy thing either. There are "a
hotels with 1,4O6 beds in Dusseldorf.
OF these, 1925 beds, or about so per
cent are reserved for the French army
of occupation. To make conditions
still worse for native inhabitants, the
French commander has ordered that
all houses vacated hereafter must
first be reported to the commander,
so that he may place Frenchmen in
them if he desires.
The French also Communicated the

this, the city had to erect one new
barracks, and second to consist Of

SCHOOL BOARD
CONSIDERSPLAN
FOR SKYSCRAPER
Supers Want Offices I;
Kids Can Wait

While thousands of Chicago school
children are forced to crowd together
in fre-trap, unsanitary schools, the
board of education goes blithely ahead
on plans for erecting for its own profit
and use a loop" skyscraper, at the
northeast corner of Monroe and Dear
born streets, to house its Offices.
Business manager John E. Byrnes,
who is supposed to be devising means
for saving money in the school sys-
tenn, proposed the erection of the new
board of education building. He sug-
gests that about 100000 net income
could be derived from the renting out
Of the part Of the building not used
by the board.
The cost of the proposed building
would be about 100000 and could
be financed by a school bond issue,
according to the plans. Offices of the
board are now scattered in various
buildings and pay rental of $2S0,0O0
yearly.
Arthur L. Weeks, head Of superin-
tendent William McAndrew's building
staff, has arrived and will work on
the problem of relieving the conges-
ton in the school buildings. A sur
vey of the school population will be
made at once, the board reports.

USE OF TRACTORS
Harold Ware in Group
Going to Ukraine

NEW YORK, June 2.-The Ukraine
Farming and Machinery Corporation,
organized to exploit a concession of
farm land in the Ukraine, and to edu-
cate the Russian peasants to the
use of American tractors and other
modern industrial farm machinery,
has established permanent Offices at
10 Fifth Avenue.
Officers of the newly-formed corpo-
ration are George H. Strobell, presi-
dent and treasurer; Jerome Walsh,
son Of Frank P. Walsh, vice-presi-
dent; Eugene Schoen, secretary;
Harold M. Ware, managing director
and Frank P. Walsh, general counsel.
Anna Louise Strong on Board.
The advisory board includes j. H.
Broecker, Of the Case Tractor Com
pany; Bolton Hall, Charles Ingersoll,
Phillip Smith, Anna Louise Strong,
@. A. Topper, and Roger Baldwin.
Ware told the DAILY WORKER
that the Ukrainian farm will be used
to teach the Russians modern farm
ing methods by actual demonstra-
ton. 1--WE will grow mainly rye and
wheat for the first two years." said
Ware, "but we are taking over an
expert dairyman. Phillip Smith, and
as soon as possible will establish a
dairy Of one hundred COWS.
Industrial Farming In Action.
"At best farming in the Ukraine
has been on a small, individualistic
scale. By blowing twelve acres OF
land in one day with tractor, while
the peasants right next to our farm
are blowing only one acre a day with
a primitive pillow, we will show the
Russians that the Industrial farm
must replace individual farming.
1.-THE corporation will mean much
to Russia by the introduction of
American farm machinery. The
tractor companies have had to learn
that the promising Russian market, if
they are to exploit it at all, demands
special methods Of distribution. Rus
STA is a Communist country, and if
the tractor companies want Russian
business, they will have to enter
alphabetically into the Soviet gov
ernment's plans for economic recon
struction."
Need Technicians and Capital.
Ware told the DAILY WORKER he
is informed that the three things
Russia needs most are liquid capital,
trained technicians and specialists,
and balance of trade, that is a sur.
plus of grain with which to contract
for industrial and agricultural ma
chinery.

BOMBAY, India, June g. Over
10000 cotton workers of Bombay,
including $4,000, woman and children
workers, have been on strike or
locked out ever since January of this
year. Eighty-three cotton mills are
involved, and every economic pres

IA mills have responded.
The strike was called because the
Mill Owners Association refused to
pay the workers their annual bonus.
The strike was followed by lockout.
The British government declared its
neutrality by detailing armed police
and soldiery to guard the mill owners
property. Efforts to reopen the mills
with strikebreakers failed.
The starving workers maintained
resolute calm, and INDUCED only in
peaceful meetings and demonstra-
tions. Thousands went off to seek
work in the villages. The desperate
condition Of the workers was en-
HANGED by the refusal of the mill own
ers to pay them their January wages.

Upon the solution of the strike de-
ponds more than at first appears. In

rival to Lancashire, England. seeks to
increase its advantages by forcing
down wages to increase profits and
to enable Indian goods to be thrown
on the market at cheaper price.
American workers should also watch
