trial Council. We all look on
this union" as a bitter joke.
We know the employees have no
voice whatever in the manage
nent of the affairs of the COM
pany or in determining under
what conditions we shall work.
There has just been an election of
employees representatives to act for
us on this industrial council. The
names Of those employees who were
elected are posted on all the numer-
Gus bulletin boards in the factories.
But right alongside these names is
posted a notice, signed by r. r.
Keith, superintendent Of the tractor
workers, cutting our work to five days
q week.

depression in our line," Keith's an
nouncement reads, I'VE regret to an
nounce that the tractor works will
operate only FIVE days a week from
now until further notice"
Can't represent" Workers.
The employees representatives had
to agree to the cut of the week to five
days, as they have to agree to every
single thing proposed by the company.
We haven't much faith in our repre-
sentatives." We know and they
know that they would not dare to run
for the position Of representing us un-
less they obeyed every wish Of the
Harvester company. Their jobs would
Immediately be taken from them.
Our Representatives just go up TO
the Office when there is a meeting,
and listen to the propositions OF the
company officials. Then they are
asked, do you agree?" Sure they
agree. They agree to anything. 9th
erwise they would be fired.
The notice about working five DAYS
a week was expected. They tell us II
will be in effect until further notice.
But we know the next notice will be
. not that they have again given us a
full week, but that the plant will be
completely shut down. Unemploy-
ment has all the men scared to death.
And well they might be.
Our usual working force in the trac-
tor plant is 1900 men. Only one.half
of that force is working at the pres.

about there being no market for their

that Russia is crying out for farm ma

Monarehlst Demonstrations.

The monarchists manage somehow
to invent one excuse after another for
a demonstration. And while the min
lister of the interior or the police in
evitably promise that the demonstra-
ton shall not be of a political char
acter. the monarchists always put
over political act This week the I'M
yelling in honor of the imperial guards
at Potsdam who fell in the world war
supplied the excuse. The ex-crown
prince who had run away, stood there
again in full military uniform, with
decorations and all the other trap
pings. Hir brother, Eitel Fritz, former
chief of the guards, stood by his side.
The monarchists are feverishly at
work to bring back the good old
days.

N. Y.HAT MAKERS
SHUT D 0 W N ALL
NON-UNION SHOPS
Big Stri TX e Promises
Union Victory
fRy the Federated Press

NEW YORK, July s. The Cloth
Hat and Cap Makers union of New
York and vicinity is on strike since
July 2, in all non-association shops
and in the shops of the newly formed
Wholesale Cap Manufacturers Asso-
citation.
The strike was declared to secure
the same conditions as those in the
shops of the Cloth Hat and Cap Man
ufacturers' Association by the agree
ment just signed between the union
and that association.
The association embraces the larg-
er manufacturers. The union has
been in contractual relations with it
since 1916. The renewed agreement,
in effect July 1, is for two years, I'M
til June 80, 1925 1t retains the ma
chinery for Cancellation and arbitra-
ton and designates Paul Abelson as
chairman of the board of adjustment.
Abelson has served for the past four
years.
Pay For Holidays.
The new agreement also retains the
minimum wage, week work, A hour
week and full pay for five legal holt
days.
An important new provision is that
every manufacturer, member of the
association, shall pay every week to
the unions unemployment fund, a
sum equal to per cent Of his total
payroll. This is in addition to the
regular wages paid to the workers.
The property, control and manage
ment fund rests exclusively with the
union.
The agreement also provides for en-
forcement of the rule that all cloth
hats and caps, contracted for by the
members of the association, shall be
produced only in good union shops.
1t further provides that no cut goods
shall be bought by any manufacturer
to be produced in his inside shop.
Keeps Tab On Contractors.
Every manufacturer, member of
the association, must register with
the union all contractors and job
bers with whom he is contracting for
work
AS security. every manufacturer,
member of The association deposits
5000 into the security trust fund
which is deposited in bank, in the
name of a trustee. This fund is
drawn upon to pay any fines that the
board of adjustment may award to
the union, or fits individual members,
against any member Of the associa-
ton for violations of the agreement.
President M. zaritsky of the Unit
ed Cloth Hat and Cap Makers states
that the union is determined to ,rse-
cure the same conditions turnout the
trade. The union has received ap-
plications for settlement from prac-
tically all the larger and more re-
spectacle independent manufacturers.
AS to the submanufacturers and
contractors, the union will insist that
they reform their shops.
The strike was one hundred per
cent complete and all unsettled shops
have been tied up.

were wrecked at first by world
Imperialism, and, consequently,
the much desired eternal mutual
relations could make no favor
able progress.
Fight Imperialism Together.
I'VE, the undersigned, recalling all
this today. are full of indignation and
regret. However, even in those dan
gerous and evil times, there was some
thing that made one look hopefully in
to the future. That was that both in
China and the Union of Soviet So
cialist Republics there were men who
understood the cherished plans of
rapacity which imperialism was wont
to carry out. In China as we'll as in
Russia such an understanding gave
the possibility of firmly keeping to the
resolute aspirations for the struggle
against imperialism, in order to bring
to the fore the resolute spirit of the
peoples and start direct fight.
"Thus, the negotiations, which had
previously been suspended, were pro.
ceeded with after some months with
view to settling, like Gordian knot,
all the pending Russo-Chinese ques-
tons and thru an original agreement
to reach the restoration of official
friendly relations as a basis for ever
lasting good friendly relations be-
tween the two states.
"New Arm" For Fight.
ut then follows therefron that we,
Chinese, have attained an aim which
is the result Of victory over inter-
national Imperialism.
"This gives into the hands of all the
oppressed of the world a new arm for
their national liberation.
I'VE wish in the name of the Chin
csc people to voice our modest hope
that the two governments and nations,
true henceforth to their fundamental
principles and their own spirit, will
go hand in hand and will force the
world diplomacy to open new era,
bearing in mind the radical changes
having occurred thruout the world.
I'VE beg you to accept our respect
full felicitations.'

C Err MAN beer
DROUGHT OVER;
STRIKERS WIN
Brewery Workers Got
HTwo-Thirds of Demand
BY LOTUS p. LocHNER

(Stan Correspondent of the Fed. Press)
BERLIN, July 8.-The near-alamity
engulfing Berlin in the form of strike
Of the brewery workers has forum
ately passed before any inveterate
beer slipper committed suicide in de-
spondency. Both sides had agreed to
an impartial umpire. His award was
a compromise.
The workers get about two-thirds of
the raise they demanded. Some 1000
smaller saloons had to close down on
account of the beer shortage.
The wealthy are rejoicing because
on June 16 the rationing of milk
ceased as did the regulation forbid
ding sale of whipped cream. Since the
war, milk has been a rare commodity
in Germany, and there are thousands
of families that never see a drop of
milk. 1t is greatly feared that more
milk than ever will go to the financial
ly strong. while the weak, who need
milk most, will have less.
French Crushing Schools.
The German government publishes
figures on the havoc wrought to educa-
ton thru the presence of the French
and other armies of occupation in the
Rhine and Ruhr valleys. 1t appears
that 5000 school rooms have been re-
Questioned, which means that 10000
children have been receiving insult
flcient education during the past year
or two. The rooms that remain for
school use do double and triple duty.
There has been complaint by par
ents that their children were attacked
or in danger of attack by soldiers
when they had to return from the last
afternoon shift after it had grown dark
outside in the winter.

Poison Control On Cotton

Poisoning the bollworm with calcium
arsenate has met with considerable
success when applied at the proper
time. When the worms are first hatch
ed they must travel some distance be-
fore attacking the cotton and If the
poison is applied to the surface Of the
plants while the worms are moving

this late in the season, after the worms
have already attacked the bolls, 1t is

vation will destroy many cells in the
soil.
Second, the caterpillars feed for a
time on the surface of the leaves be-
fore penetrating the bolls. This is the
only time during which the insects can
be poisoned successfully.
Third, the number of bollworms in

indicates a need for Fastening the ma

Fourth, since green corn is preferred

Fall and Winter Flowing

The most important step in control
ling bollwOrm consists of thorough
breaking of the land in which the
worms have buried themselves for win
ter, ut some time during the fall or
early winter. Particular attention
should be paid to fields known to be
infested. Since the cells Of the win

deep it is necessary that the plow

Character Of Injury

The character of attack on all the
principle crops affected is similar. The
worms usually bore and feed within
the plant tissue. In the case of cotton
the injury is readily distinguished from
other injury as the bolls are complete
ly eaten out, particularly after the
worms have gained considerable size.
Oftentimes the fullgrown bolls iare
gnawed into by the large worms and
from one to all of the locks are dam
aged.
