to ACT WITHOUT FRANCE!

American Federation of Labor, say

America not to enter the league, but
to enter conference directed against
our recent comrades in arms and in
favor of our recent enemy! And for
what? To preserve Great Britain's
traditional policy of ruling Europe
by leaning first to one side (France
against Germany and then to the
other Germany against France)
keeping these two nations apart and
at one another's throats, and so main
tanning a balance of power

PHILADELPHIA UNION
MEN
Build Their Own Homes

BY International Labor News Service.
Philadelphia, Pa.-Progress made
by the Quaker City COOPERATIVE
Construction Company is believed by
labor men to point the way to the
settlement by members of organized
labor of their housing troubles.
Nine homes, built, financed and de-
signed by union members, are now
housing union members in West
Philadelphia They were erected at
a cost estimated at 20 per cent less
than individual builders would have
this winter.
w. T. Allen, of Carpenters Local
No. 277, and secretary-treasurer of
the Philadelphia district of the
Brotherhood of Carpenters, is treas
urer Of the Quaker City organization.
He says:
"We have enabled workers to buy
good homes without undergoing fl
nancial hardship. The first payment
is $1,000. After that the homes can
be paid for at the rate of 1924 a
month Under such conditions, it is
not risky to prophesy that the move
ment will continue to grow until it
will be a big factor in solving the
housing problem"
The funds for the erection of the
nine houses were raised by the sale
of stock to union men and to the pub
lie.
Through sale of stock about $4,000
was raised. That was sufficient to
finance the purchase of land in Up
land street, and to start construction
Funds to carry on the building-to
pay the union laborers and TO pur-
chase materials-were advanced by
the Producers and Consumers Bank,
Chestnut street at Ninth, which also
is a cooperative labor institution

of banking by mail has been per-
fected Arrangements are also being
made with correspondent banks in
other cities which will accept depos-
its for the brotherhood bank.
In New York City, the union
owned Federation Bank is making a
rapid growth. The banks resources
have increased from 100000 on May
10, 1923, to $3,700,000, and are ex-
pected to reach the S4,000,000 mark
within short time, according to
Peter j. Brady, president.
The Central Trades and Labor
Council, of New York, which was ac-
tive in founding the Federation Bank,
recently attacked the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers and the Broth
erhood Investment Company, the
holding company for the bank which
the engineers are to open in New
York. Resolutions adopted by the
council charge that the brotherhood
representatives, in selling stock for
the new bank, are claiming that the
brotherhood is strong advocate of
the "open shop" and has never in
dulged in a sympathetic strike. The
council resolutions declare that the
Brotherhood Investment Company is
not entitled to either the support OF
cooperation of organized labor. N

LABOR'S MAIN
EVENTS NOTED BY
CHURCH MEN

Washington.-The growth of CO.
operative banking and the A. F. of
LIS statement that industrial democ-
racy is "labor's manifest destiny are
among the most important events of
1923 in the ranks of labor, according
to a statement by the National Catho-
lie welfare council.
In various ways and to various de-
grees they all point to the growing
desire of labor to occupy more re-
sponsible position in industry and in
the community" the church men say
"These events indicate that while
labor is no less insistent upon fair
wages and an eight-hour day, there
is reaching out, first, toward sound
er relations between employers and
employees, and, second, toward inde-
pendent labor accomplishments and
the establishment of labor as recog-
nized factor in the conduct of indus
try"

These increases total $779, ,473, 200.

What the Socialist-and--L
Party Stood For

Ii
What the SOcialist-and.-Lab
Party Stood For
The bor-and-socialist platform
has three important domestic planks:
/. "A Commonwealth of Co-opera-
tive Service" Last July the party
voted unanimously in parliament for
socialism" or the cooperative COM
monwealth. The central aim of the
party was only slightly altered in the
election manifesto-though the word
socialism, as in the last election. is
carefully avoided.
2. Public Ownership and Control
of the Mines, the Railway Service and
the Electrical Power Stations" This
would be large installment of state
socialism-though it falls short of
the public ownership of the "means
of production and distribution" which
the party unanimously voted for in
parliament.
8. "The Programme of National
Work." including a national system
of electrical power, the development
of transport by road, rail and canal,
land drainage, reclamation, offoresta-
ton, town planning, housing schemes.
The liberals are unanimously in
favor of these schemes, except in so
far as they involve naturalization.
1t is estimated that without nation
alization, they might take care of
more than a third of the 100000
unemployed
But socialism and public owner
ship have been voted down, while the
program of national work will al
most certainly be put, in large part,
into effect. The only uncertainty
arises from the social l-laborites' for
eign program.

ARMED GUARDS PROTECT
 TRILLIONS IN PAPER
Berlin Banks Are Centers for De- mands From Various Parts
 of Country.

Berlin, Jan. 4.--Banks in Berlin are having as much difficulty these days as are bakers in keeping their hungry customers satisfied. All day long their telephones bring in insist ent demands for paper money. Ham burg must have twenty thousand trillioms tomorrow is a typical mes sage.
 The money is all distributed from the Reichsbank, irrespective of where 1t may be printed Small wagons constructed like iron-cages, travel on rails through the building and carry the money, the actual distribution of which is directed from one room. It is packed in large bags, carefully sealed. Two thousand consignments leave the reichsbank daily
 While in the bank building the pa per is stored in a heavily armored cellar which is practically an under ground town, with scores of avenues and passages. This cellar is cluttered up with money of such small denom- nations that it was never issued be- cause of its slight value. Thousands gave way to millions rapidly. and the millions gave way to billions, Conse- Quently the race between the reichs- bank presses and the falling rates has frequently resulted in defeat for the money-printers.

TERRITORIAL SENATOR
 ASKS AID FOR ALASKA
M. D. Snodgrass Takes Up CudSel in Interests of Farmers in
 Far North,
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Anchorage. Alaska, Jan. 4-Tcrri- torial Senator NJ. D. Snodgrass has promised to try to calk a supposed leak of s500,000 annually in Alaska s treasure chest. The item is said to be represented in foodstuffs, hay, grain and mill feed now shipped into the Alaska railroad belt from the United States.
 Senator Snodgrass said recently that he would press on congress the necessity for aid that would enable Alaskan farmers to get on their feet and begin taking from the ground some of the substances imported.
 He added: When the late Presi- dent Harding advised the develop ment of local industries in Alaska, he doubtless had in view the question of agriculture. There was enough mon- ey expended in foodstuffs during the constructor of the Alaska railroad to have put a thousand farmers on the way to independence. It is too late to consider this past expenditure, but if the agricultural resources of the territory can be developed, Alaska need fear nothing for the future."
 Senator Snodgrass said that beef, pork. mutton and poultry all were produced, but on a small scale be- cause of the scarcity Of stock ani- mals. He reported that Secretary Work Of the interior department had endorsed a plan for doling out herds to farmers on longtime payments. He also expressed confidence that Secretary of Agriculture Wallace would offer congress a plan covering the entire agricultural question in Alaska.

 Berlin, Jan. 4,-Nine of the peo- ples libraries in Berlin have been closed because their books were too much worn for further use, and funds were lacking for replacement. Six libraries maintained for children alone are also threatened with closing because of lack of funds,
 The custedians say each of these libraries is visited by an average of 600 children daily. and that the num- Der has increased greatly since cold weather set in. Appeals are being made for funds to keep all these branch libraries open. as they are the only heated roams in many neighbor- hoods where students can carry on their work, and where readers can be comfortable.
