criminals to all U. S. soldiers in the
world war and since then to civilian
workers in large plants like the Ford
Motor Co. make the wire printing
matter of concern to all labor men.
The propaganda by Secy. of Labor
Davis for the registration of aliens,
carrying fingerprinting with it, has
been energetically fought by labor or
CARNATIONS as the entering wedge for
an enormous national blacklist sys-
tenn by which union men can be in
fallibly spotted especially in the inn
portant but poorly organized basic in
dustries where immigrants concen-
trate.
From alien workers it is only step
to all workers under the pretext of in
dustrial mobilization for the defense
days" which are to become annual af-
fairs. From employer blacklists it is
only step to political persecution
via the criminal Identification route,
particularly when the movement for
a class party gets we'll under way.
Men obnoxious to the authorities need
simply be held while a fake finger
print is flashed over the wire as ell
legged evidence to convict them.
Faxed Flngerprints Possible.
Fingerprints can easily be faxed.
This has been demonstrated to per-
lection by former political prisoner,
Albert Wehde, who worked in the
fngerprint bureau Of the department
Of justice while confined at Leaven-
worth federal penitentiary during the
war. In book entitled "Fingerprints
Can Be Forged" Wehde shows how
he baff1ed the country's experts by
taking a genuine flngerprint Of his
and transferring it by etching and
further processes from the original
article to an entirely different one.
Thus the police might take fin
gerprint Of a union man from the
glass top of a desk where he was be-
ing interviewed in a police station
and transfer it to the nickel case of

DETROIT, Mich, May 1s-The car
penters Of Detroit are beginning to
learn that VIM. /. Hutcheson's con-
ceIt and arrogance are as boundIess
as his ignorance and stupidity. After
the representatives Of local unions
meeting with John Potts, the agent Of
Hutchinson, had agreed to make
shameful and humlIatinp concessions

polls, so that the organization might
not suffer further damage and the
rank and file suffer further losses,
that worthy, with an arrogance that
would shame a feudal lord, has de-
creed that each and every member
of the four suspended local unions,
namely Nos. 10, 2140, 1871 and 42O,
must sign a pledge that practically
puts them at the mercy Of the whims
of the overlords in Indianapolis.
The pledge, which is printed on the
stationery of the United Brotherhood
of Carpenters and Joiners Of America,
reads as follows:

GREEN also thanked the Gales gov
~ eminent in Mexico for issuing a
statement against Communism. Cal
les is socialist and is acting true to
type. No doubt the message was
written by one of the accommodating
penmen Of Wall STREET. While the
Mexican government was fighting
Wall Street, there were no American
roses going to Mexico City. But the
bargain between Gales, the socialist,
and Wall Street was clinched during
the De la Huerta revolt. Gales, the

officials of the Mexican labor move
ment do not get off the Morgan track.

FRANCE TELLS
The u. S. TO
GO TO BLAzES
Will Pay Not a Cent
More Than Germany
lspeoIaI to rhs DaIIy w0rker.l

/
PARIS, May 49, Ever since the
American reparation commissioner
under the Dawes plan, Seymour Park
er Gilbert, reported last week that
the German nation could not meet the
Dawes plan PREPARATION payments, the
chancellories Of the world capitalist
powers have been in turmoil.
Passing the Buck.
France, thru Caillaux, finance min
lister, announced that the PREPARATIONS
payments were. in effect, too doubt
full for France to count upon in its
domestic budget, but that since Amer
lea and England had sponsored the
Dawes plan, and since General
Dawes had been elected vice-president
largely by the advertisement of hay
ing drawn up the plan which is sup
posed to make Germany pay, France
would generously turn over fifty per
cent of anything Germany pays to
apply on Frances debt to the United
States and Britain.
+ At once, the U. S. Ambassador Her
rick, was pressed to put the screws
upon France, and Coolidge issued a
statement obiecting to France basing
her debt payments upon reparation
payments. Evidently Mr.. Coolidge is
not so firmly convinced that General
Dawes plan draws as well as his
pipe.
Ambassador Herrick applied the up
holstered club by press interview
in which he declared that while
France had made no concrete pro-
posal on the funding of the debt to
America, he, Herrick, was of course,
thoroly convinced that France really
wants to pay. He added, as an evil
dence Of the awkward position he is
being put into, that hereafter he
would not discuss the situation with
the press, and would leave it to the
Washington government to hand out
statements.
Tells Allies to 90 to the Devil.
Meanwhile, France calmly announc-
ed yesterday, in Caillauxs instruc-
lions to the French experts on the
reparations commission that It is
impossible for France to pay one
penny more than she gets from Ger
many and that the British and Amer
lean creditors may do as they like
about it."
He added that II Germany does pay
anything, half of it must go toward
reconstruction expense of the devast-
ated area in France.
This leaves the English and Amer
lean governments to suck their
thumbs for consolation at the unfund-
ed French debt. America has $1,000
100000 in unpaid debts from the vari-
Gus allied countries on her books,
large part of this due from France
and OOO,OO0,0O0 from fascist Italy,
which is also worrying Mr.. Coolidge.
Mussolini has never made a gesture
toward even recognizing Italy's debt.
An Unhappy Position.
With the past French finance min
lister, Clementel, having declared that
the debt to America was merely DO
hticap and Caillaux taking the view
point outlined above. Uncle Sam does
not seem to occupy a very happy po-
sition. Caillaux even refuses to ne
gotiate with America over the debt
until Frances budget is balanced"
This is in the realm Of misty possi-
bilities, very misty. But If it is not
done, the American nation can get
ready to pay thru its nose for the
world war, and it is certain that the
big business interests will shove the
burden onto the workers.

CLOSE 80 JAPANESE
SCHOOLS IN HAWAII
IN FEE LAW PROTEST

HONOLULU, May 49, Eighty
Japanese language schools were
closed here today, pending the filing
Of an Injunction to prevent the
school department from enforcing
an amendment recently passed by
the territorial legislature requiring
an annual fee of 81 pupil.
The amendment also provides for
a fine of $25 for failure to comply
with the fee provisions. The schools
were considered by the school de-
partment to have ceased to func-
ton.
An unusual angle in the case was
that the new amendment speoificaI-
ly provided against Injunction pro-
ceedings.

Questioned by the writer about
whether they intend to purchase COM

for credit as they have all the cash

businessmen desire to sell them in
the future commodities on credit, they
would only accept credit on satisfac-
tory terms.
Propaganda Talk silly.
Questioned on various phases of
the Russian situation, the representa-
tive Of the Dalgostorg politely declin-
ed to talk, explaining to the writer
that they are on a business mission
and that so much nonsensical talk
about propaganda was being published
in the American press therefore, they
prefer to refrain from expressing
themselves on such matters.

fishing of commercial relations be-

States help the American workers ?"

A motion made to repudiate the &C
ton Of the delegates to the district
council in voting against a one-way
vote proposition submitted by Hutche-
son some weeks ago, to elect new dele
gates, and to instruct the members Of
Local 10 to sign this pledge individual
~ as the conditions upon which the
charter could be regained and retain
ed, occasioned some very bitter dis
cussion in which many members de-
clared they would never sign such
document.
Angry Member Tears up Pledges.
Many who supported the motion in
order to get the local functioning
again, declared that they would later
consider whether or not they would
sign the pledge" The motion carried
by about a to 1 vote. Then the fun
began.
Potts and pious old faker by name
of Botterin sat at a table garnering
in the pledges Of the weak-wtlled and
seryile members of the local, when
a righteously indignant brother jerked
the table away from them upsetting
its contents, and then proceeded to
tear up the pledges and scatter them
over the hall Several husky funkeys
came to the assistance of the general
disrupters," but not before the good
work had been accomplished.

unions comply with the unreasonable
conditions set forth by Hutcheson,
this present cattleman and former
boxmaker and lumberjack conceives
of some new infamy with which to
humilate the carpenters of Detroit. In
this last move he has obviously gone
a little bit too far. To bludgeon an
organization where the mass mind
prevails is one thing. And convincing
each Individual member that he must
forfeit his constitutional and legal
rights and crawl before the intel
lectual vacuum at Indianapolis, will
very probably be another proposition.
League Too Deep to Dig Out.
Hutcheson's attack on the Trade
Union Educational League and his
craven fear of it's teachings is quite
logical from his takers point Of view.
However, the leaven Of the leagues
teachings has raised the spirit and
intelligence Of the carpenters of De-
troit to too high a level ever again
to be fooled by the stupii lies of the
official family.
The majority vote Of Detroit for the
left wing program Of Rosen in the
last general elections reflected the adj
vanced intelligence Of the carpenters
here. Since then, Hutcheson and the
league quite Internationally and
unconsciously on the part OF Hutche-
SOM have carried this educational
process a long way. The mass learns
effectively thru concrete situations.

HOW THE BANKS USE MONEY
Never Invest Funds Offered by Get
 Rieh.Quiek Promoters

Savings deposits in the United States increased more than $2000 O00 ,0oo during the last year. The resources of all the banks in this country now amount to more than $60 900 ,000 .000 and their depnsi.s ta over S5a. nea ana GOO. What becomes of this accumu- lated surplus capital?
 In loans and discounts the banks have more than s3i .000. .0O0,0 GOO These are the short-time loans to manufac- turers, farmers and merchants to pro- vide seasonal working capital. They are secured usually by the products the borrowers produce or sell. Busi- ness obviously will never need to drag on the total loanable funds of banks for these current needs. The banks, therefore, must find other ways to em- ploy their funds. In long-term cred it's, in seasoned stocks. bonds and real estate mortgages, the banks have plac- ed a little in excess of $l4,000, 900 900. In addition, they have about Sl ,2bO.- 900 .000 invested in their own build ings.
 The securities in which banks invest their money are not the kind peddled by get-rich-quick promoters. The banks list of investments generally in- cludes Liberty Bonds and other gov ernment issues. municipal securities. public utility and railroad offerings, seasoned industrial bonds, foreign bonds and conservative real estate mortgages. Many of these securities do not yield more than six per cent; many yield less. Banks do not look for unusual returns or overnight profits. The men who invest bank funds are in close touch with the in- vestment market, and although they are just as eager as the small invest or to make as much money as possible, they know that money does not earn big profits and at the same time as- sure the safety of the principal sum.
