This decision by Mccoy, who used
to be a congressman when Fall was

the four from ever going to trial on
charges of bribery. The statute of

and convicted on charges of conspir-
acy to defraud the government, how
ever, and the Sinclair and Doheny

CANADIAN JOBS
FEWER BECAUSE
OF SPEED UP
$4,000 Workers Less,
Produce so Pct. More
Rx c. MCKAY.

MONTREAL, April IA Canadian
manufacturing industries employed
$4,000 fewer persons in 1922 than in
1911, government statistics show. EN-
ployment in such industries today is
not materially greater than in 1922.
With fewer employees these manufac.
turing industries had quantity out
put nearly so per cent greater in 1929
than in 1911, and value production
just 100 per cent greater. Canada's
major neutrality-suspicious., mining,
fishing, logging manufacturing and
transportation-only employed 1881
more persons in 1922 than in 1911.
With an increase of less than two per
cent in number of employees, these in.
dustries produced values in 1922 more
than 100 per cent greater than in
1911; about so per cent being the
measure Of the increase in values due
to enhanced prices.
During the decade 1911 to 1921, i'm,
migrants entering Canada numbered
1,728,000, and the natural increase of
the population was 1,150,000. But
thanks to improved machinery, the
major industries only offered 1881
more jobs in 1922 than in 1911. How
was the increased population provid
ed for? The United States received
many. Great numbers returned to
Europe. Increased wealth produc-
ton permitted greatly increased DOM
este and personal servants, chaUS
feurs, etc. Many crowded into trade,
increasing the spread between pro-
ducers and consumers prices.
The effect of the machine in limit
ing opportunities of employment is
more apparent in Canada than in the
United States. Canada imports much
of its machinery. The u. S. manufac-
lures most of its machines, and per
sons in such manufacture add to the
total number of employees in manu-
featuring.

TELLS FASCIST
VIOLENCE; UPON
LABOR UNIONS
Italian Workers Have
Lost Everything
BY CARL RRANNIN.

MILAN, Italy, April 14-Back of the
recent successful strike of 100000
metal workers in northern Italy lies
a contract for wages and hours drawn
up by fascist trade union oficials and
accepted by the employers. But at
the same time the General Confedera.
ton of Labor took a referendum on
this contract among the workers of
the district. Five per cent were for
the contract, 95 per cent against it.
1t was put into effect with striking
results.
Immediately after the war the Con.
federation of Labor numbered $780,
900 members. It has shrunk to be-
tween 10000 and 100000. Many trade
unionists were forced to join the fas.
cist unions to live and yet it is esti-
mated that not more than per cent
of all industrial workers are members.
Ninety per cent Of the peasants have
been forced to join because of the ter
ror Of the Black Shirts. Thousands of
them now live in the cities.
Some 100000 Italians emigrated to
France the past two years, many
without passports as political refu-
gees. Others remain, though their CO,
operative and union institutions have
been destroyed. While they may wear
the fascist button many still carry red
cards in the Socialist party or Com
munist party and distribute literature
under cover.
In spite Of great obstacles, ofi1cials
of the Confederation declare their un.
ions are rebuilding slowly. No organ.
izers can be sent out nor general meet
ings held but the workers are ready
to come back at the first opportun-
! ity. The official weekly of the Con-
federation has 10000 regular subscrib-
ers. The Socialist locals are now per.
mitted to hold meetings for the regu-
lar members at infrequent intervals.
While the unions have suffered
greatly in strength and membership
from the fascist terror the worker CO.
operatives lost properties which it will
take years to replace. The policy of
the Black Shirts was either to destroy
or control these institutions. In the
larger industrial centers like Milan,
due to the mass strength of the work
ers, this policy was not carried out so
drastically but in the rural districts
there was almost a clean sweep.
! The cooperative at Molinella is the
most glaring example. Here in the
course of 80 years the workers had
built up institutions producer and
consumer) that were the model for CO.
operators in all countries. Their prop
critics were valued at $2,000,0 When
Mussolini seized power he put one of
his creatures in charge who sold
everything buildings, machin.
cry and implements, and turned the
proceeds, about 100000, over to char.
liable institutions.

Capitalist Law Mills
Refuse to Repeal the
Syndicalist Gag Acts

NEW YORK, Apr. 14-Sessions now
nothing toward repeating criminal
syndicalism and sedition laws, reports
the American Civil Liberties union.
But the organization finds that such
repressive legislation is a dead letter
in nearly all the states. The Idaho
legislature widened the definition of
sabotage to include peaceful slowing
down on the job, but it is expected
that the courts will construe the law
so as to prevent prosecution for
membership in labor unions.
The U. s. supreme court has be-
fore it two cases which will test the
constitutionality of the state syndical-
ism laws and free SO men in state
penitentiar!es if favorable decision is
given. The cases are those of Anita
Whitney, California woman, convicted
in 1919 under the state syndicalism
law for membership in a Communist
party, and Benjamin Gitlow, convicted
under the New York state anarchy
law in 1920. His case has been ar
gued. Argument has not yet been
made in the case of Miss Whitney.
The case of C. E. Ruthenberg, secre-
tary of the Workers Party, convicted
in Michigan for attending a Commun.
list convention, has been appealed but
is not yet before the court.
OF the SO syndicalist law prisoners,
50 are in California penitentiaries;
five in Washington; one each in Kan.
sas and Oklahoma. All the men serv.
ing time are members of the 1. W.

MACHINES KILL
JOBS BUT ENRICH
The INVESTORS
Workers Idle as Profits
for Capital Increase
BY LELAND oLDs,

Federated Press Industrial EdItor)
How the impersonal modern ma
chine with its vast productivity is
providing out human labor and divert
ing money which would have been
wages into the profit pockets of the
investing class is shown in Iron Age
by Pres. F. A. Scott of the Warren &
Swasey Co. This article on Net Pro-
Ats from Modern Equipment describes
the results of substituting a modern
improved turret lathe for an old ma
chine in the eompany's Salt Lake City
plant
The new machine, according to
Scott, made a net profit Of $4,0S0.2O
a year, after deducting depreciation
to replace the machine in 5 years.
This means 117.S per cent on the in
vestment.
Gain for Owning Class.
This huge gain for the owning class
was possible because the machine re-
duced the time required for unit of
product from so minutes to 80 min
utes. The cost of production on the
old machine including direct labor at
60 cents an hour and overhead at 80
cents an hour was 50 piece. With
the new machine it cost rs cents a
piece, leaving S1.25 a piece as gross
profit from the change.
Scott gives these figures:
Cash investment to install new
equipment, $3,355.OO.
Former cost per unit, $780,
Cost with new equipment, SIS.
Gross profit per piece, $1.25.
Production per 9-hour day using
As minute hours to allow for delays,
etc, STA.
Gross profit per day, $3.50.
Gross profit per year of $50 work
ing days, $4,000.
Deduct depreciation including 20
per cent of investment in new ma
chine and 100 per cent OF cost of spe-
cial tools, $s19.SO.
Net profit per year, $4,OsO.2O.
The table shows that the produc-
ton Of IA pieces requiring hours on
the new basis would have required
"A hours using the old machinery.
To obtain the present rate of produc-
ton with the old machinery addition
al workers would have been hired in
the ratio of "a for every 8 necessary
with the modern machinery. And
$14.40 would go for direct labor in
wages instead of the $40 with the
new equipment.
After substracting S2.s5 per IA piec-
es TO cover depreciation on the new
investment there remains about 81
which used to go as wages to the
labor directly involved but now goes
to investors.

GREEK THEATER IN u. S.
RIVALS OLD STRUCTURES
Built From Illinois Reservoir, Has
Better Acoustics Than Those De-
signed by Ancient Race.
By the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press
JACKSONVILLE Ill, November 20.
A Greek theater has been opened in
Jacksonville that is described as more
perfect in its circular formation and
acoustics than many of the open-air
theaters built by the ancient Greeks.
Its walls form q perfect circle. Pro
fessOrS from the Art Institute of Chi
cago designed it, directed its construc-
ton, and also the first performance in
it, ocCa stoned by the Jacksonville cen
tennial.
Half a year ago there was a huge
round water reservoir where the thea
ter now stands. When 500 actors had
been drawn from all walks OF life to
play in the centennial pageant, the
necessity for a large playhouse pre-
sented itself. The old reservoir was
transformed. The north side OF the
bowl was partially knocked out to
make place for the entrance and stage.
Circular seating levels We're made of
concrete. sufficient to seat 5000 people.
The stage was made on three levels, to
accommodate instantaneous changes
of scenes without curtains. This is ac-
complished by turning the light off the
stage and directing a bright light in
the faces of the audience. The theater
is owned by the city
The 50-piece band which plays in it
IS the Jacksonville Community Band
The musicians get paid whenever there
is any money in the treasury. but
when there is no money they play
anyhow. Their last concert netted
them so cents each.
