Medieval Statues Value
 Realized After 600 Years

LINCOLN, Feb. 17.-For long re garded as of very little value, the statue of Queen Margaret on the side of the south porch of the cathedral here, las now been acclaimed by an authority on architect as possibly the finest and most perfect example cf medieval portrait sculpture left in Europe"
 Search is now being made for the name of the sculptor. After 600 years of exposure only the hands and the lower part of the draperies are appreciably damaged. A suggestion that the statue should be removed from it's present exposed position and placed in a specially prepared niche at the back of the altar screen in the Angel Choir, has not been favorably received by the dean and chapter, but it has been enclosed in wooden case to prevent further damage.

Huge Government Arsenal
 Lies Idle and Unprotective

ROCK ISLAND, Feb. 17.--Four hun dred million dollars worth of proper ty lies in comparative disuse at the Rock Island Arsenal here.
 Largest of the government arsenals in the United States, Rock Island during the world war employed thir- teen thousand workmen and gained the reputation of the largest arsenal in the world, the Krupp factory in Germany having dismantled.
 Col. D. M. King, commandant, said he had no information of any plan to increase activity at the arsenal al- though during the presidential cam paign it was suggested by candidates that congressional action be taken which would permit the carrying on of productive work on the basis which existed prior to the war
 Vast quantities of ordinance stores produced by all government arsenals and by private industries throughout the east as a result of war activities" Col. King said, resulted in a large surplus of such material on hand, a quantity sufficient for the needs of the army at it's reduced strength for some time. Very little productive work is now being done. Operations are confined principally to work of an experimental nature in connection with the design of artillery material and repair of equipment turned in from the field. At present there are slightly less than 600 employees. The percentage of capacity at which the arsenal facilities are now being util- ized may be stated as approximately 5 to 10 percent.
 The arsenal as it stands today rep resents a valuation, at a very con servative figure, including stores on hand for issue and for manufa curing purposes, of nearly S400,000,000. Ap- proximately s5O,OO0,OOO of this figure is represented in the value of it's building and equipment

Migration Made Easy
 for Retiring Officers

LONDON, Feb. 17.-To facilitate cooperation in emigration among re- tired professional classes with small fixed incomes, the Empire Commun- ity Settlement has been organized here to care for retired military off cers, civil servants, engineers and other professional men unfitted to go to the dominion as agricultural set tiers in the ordinary way.
 It is proposed to establish them overseas on model farms, something like garden cities, with two to five acres, dwelling, stable and outhouse sites, and club houses where weals may be obtained at a low rate. After five years of this life the settlers would be expected to find perma nent place in the dominion.

Monument Honors Memory
 of First California Padre

SAN FERNANDO, Cal, Feb. IT, Another chapter of the story inscrib- ed in the crumbling remains of a chain of 21 missions, the earliest of which were founded more than a cen tury and half ago in California, will be written soon with the unveiling at the San Fernando Mission of a monument to Father Junipero Serra, Spanish missionary, who established the edifice The statue, depicting the mission Father leading a shy Indian boy into the realm of Christianity, is of bronze and is seven feet six inch es tall.

United Front for
Textile Workers
Stirs New England

In every city and town of the New
England textile region where the
Workers Party and the Trade Union
Educational League have adherents or
sympathizers militant movement is
arising in response to the call put out
by these organizations to textile work
ers to force the little and impotent
craft unions to join their forces in a
great widespread united front against
the wage cuts, to include also the
great mass Of unorganized workers.
News Of the textile strikes and the
rising united front movement is given
in the news columns of the DAILY
WORKER every day. That the T. u.
e. L. proposal of the united front of
all unions against all bosses is rous-
ing the rank and file Of these unions
and agitating the masses of unor-
ganized workers, is most evident from
the fact that the labor takers are CO.
operating with the mill owners and
the capitalist newspapers to oppose
the united front. Meanwhile sporadic
strikes take place everywhere.
The DAILY WORKER correspond
ent reports that letter of Mcmahon,
president of the United Textile Work
ers' Union of the A. F. of L., attack
ing the Workers Party and the T. U.
E. L. was given to and used by the
mill owners newspapers.

Tells T. u. E. L. of
School Book Graft

TT. Lauderdale, Fla, Feb. 9. 1925.
Dear Comrade:
| have new neighbor who comes
from Missouri. He has three children
of school age and one baby. They
brought with them about $50 worth Of
school books thinking that in America
we have the same schooling every
where. But, 10 and behold, they can
not be used here in Florida. SO this
poor devil, former farmer who lost
everything in Missouri and who had
just enough money to bring HIS fami-
ly here, and who is now working for
$500 a day, has to spend about the
same sum to get other school books in
order to satisfy the greed OF the book
trust. He sold his Missouri school
books for a song, which undoubtedly
will be sold to another sucker in Mis-
souri,. And so the skin game goes on.
SO you see that the system not only
miseducates our children, but each dis
trict has to have different books so
that the book trust can increase It's
profits and the school boards their
necessary graft. One more slave has
been awakened.
Fraternally yours,
A Has-Besn Farmer.

Buffalo League Does
Good Work; and That's
No Buffalo, Either

The following items just received
from Comrade Sullivan, Workers
Party organizer at Buffalo, N. Y,
shows that the Buffalo district is put
ting itself on the map again in the in
dustrial work.
He advises that an anti-syndicalist
resolution, which condemns the state
syndicalist laws in general and is in
behalf of the Michigan Communist
cases in particular, was passed by the
Hold Carriers and Building Laborers'
Local Union of Buffalo.
A conference to prepare for a Sac
co-Vanzetti protest meeting will be
held right away.
The Utica, N. Y. Trades Assembly
passed resolution condemning the
deportation of Schedel, whom you will
remember, was deported from the
United States, and when he learned
of the dreadful conditions his family
were having to contend with behind
him in America, took a chance and
returned to this country to do what
he could to help them. He had not
been home day until the authorities
re-arrested him and ordered him de
ported again.
Sometime in March, the local gen
eral group Of the T. u. E. L. in Buff
falo will give an entertainment fol
the benefit Of the T. U. E. L., the re-
turns from which will assist material
ly in financing the work of the T. u
e. L. both nationally and locally.
The Brewery Workers locals and
the Street Car Men of Utica, N. Y.

tile strikers in their fight against
wage cuts.

ers are partly organized in the A. +.

These unions are scuabbling among
themselves, internally and with one
another.
This is a harsh handicap in helping
get outside workers into the unions
and prevents them from joining a I'M
ion as they feel they would have little
to gain in organizations so bitterly OPP
posed to one another in their trade.

Responsibility for organizationaI
work and finances to be shifted from
the officials to the membership with
ratification of appointed organizers by
the membership.
Maintenance of the unemployed at
the expense Of the bosses, funds to be
controlled by the union, division of
work with guarantee for each member
to make living.
Abolition Of practice pursued by
officials of ruling prospective candi-
dates off the ballot.
Establishment of shop committees
as the basic units Of the organization.
The above will also apply in general
to the Journeymen Tailors, Capmakers
and Millinery Unions.
Another proposition that was ac-
cepted is that all those needle trades
workers who have received dividends
on the stock that they hold in the
Russian-American Industrial corpora
ton should donate them for the pur-
pose Of purchasing small machine
parts to be sent to the Russian cloth
ing factories as gifts from the Amer
lean clothing workers. An appeal to
all clothing trades workers will be
made to have workers who are not
shareholders in the R. A. I. C. to do
nate a sum equal to the sums given
by the shareholders to aid this plan
of giving further aid to the Russian
clothing factories. A campaign to
make a success of this project will be
started in the near future.
