employment, sharp decrease in waE-
es, and an increase In the cost Of

labor party, the average nominal
weekly wage for male city workers
has dropped from 95 shillings, four
pence to SO shillings, 10 pence.
= BIG Drop In Rural Wages.
The wages of rural workers, in the
same period, have dropped from 2
pounds, 2 shillings per week. with
keep, to 20 shillings per week and
keep.
Since March, 1922, the number of
hours worked in all industries, in
creased from an average of ASA per
week to 462z per week.
In March, 1929, the average rate
of unemployment was Ill, and today

this period Az per cent.
The loss to the workers of New

COTTON DEALER
CHEATED FARMER
TO MAKE PROFITS
Tells How He Bought
Seat on Exchange
Especial to The Daily Worker,

TExARKANA, Texas, April s.-Tha
cotton dealers are making enormous
profits out of the farmers, a multi
millionaire cotton merchant admitted
in a statement to a sales agency here.
81 have made my profits of the
farmers" the multi-millionaire said in
an interview published in the Farm
Labor Union News. This cotton deal
er is rated at millions. He bought a
seat in the New York exchange, pur.
chased at the cost of $4,000.
81 have made as high as $3.50 profit
on Of one bale OF cotton" he con-
tinued. II made 1t partly, by buying
on the basis of one inca staple and
selling it on the basis Of one and
one-eighth inch staple. The farmers
from whom my agent bought the cot
ton knew nothing Of that product
altho they had several years OF ex-
perience in raising 1t. AS long as this
ignorance of their own product pre-
walls money making is easy.
When the average farmer puts his
bale Of cotton on the market what
does he know about the grade and
staple or the demand for that particu-
lar cotton he may have? Nothing at
all. That is why he is broke"

FAKE LAW DENIES

NEW YORK, April 9.--Leading med

among whom are Professors Winslow
and Henderson of Yale University,
Dr.. Alice Hamilton OF Harvard, DR..
Emerp Hayhurst of Ohio, and DR..
Haven Emerson of Columbia are co.
operating with organized labor in New
York in final endeavor to get Gov.
ernor Smith to veto the Miller-Tru-

Compensation law, passed in spite of
their protest. 4, g
Hundreds Of Thousands Affected.
According to the State Federation
OF Labor, which has been leading the
fight against the bill whose full title
Is the Miller-Truman pneumonoconio-
sis Originally silicosis) amendment,
hundreds Of thousands of factory
workers exposed to soltcosis are de-
MED relief by restricting compensation
to a limited number of trades under
conditions (which have no precedent
in the compensation laws Of New York
or any other state in the country"
Silicosis is disease OF the lungs
caused by breathing Quartz dust.
Workers subject to this occupational
disease are: quarry workers, stone
cutters, emery grinders, sand blast
ers, polishers, buffers, rock drillers,
miners and potters.
A Fake Bill Put Over.
The passage Of this bill will fore
stall really effective action to protect
workers whose lungs are now being
destroyed by silicosis. Under the
Miller-Truman amendment a worker
must be employed five years contInu.
cusly in one of the listed trades be-
fore he can claim compensation for
Silicosis. Workers once refused en-
ployment or discharged by employers
physicians may never again claim
compensation for this disease.

BAN ON DEADLY
LEAD GASOLINE
LIFTED IN EAST
Standard OiI-Morgan to
Open Campaign

NEW YORK, April Gwen thouKh
the question of the harm tetra ethyl
lead treated gasoline fumes may do
to the public is still undetermined.
Professor Yandell Henderson of Yale,
former consulting Psychologist Of the
United States bureau of mines, says
that the danger to garage workers is
much greater.
DR.. David L. Edsall and DR.. Cecil
X. Drinker Of the Harvard Medical
School have published their belief
that the recent bureau Of mines re-
port prononuncing automobile fuel
known as ethyl gasoline not harmful
to the public is inadequate. Prof.
Henderson supports the Harvard pro-
fessors' view. Largely due to the pro
test Of organized labor IN New York
the sale of lead treated gasoline is
forbidden in the city.
The doubtful product is sold, how
ever, according to S. D. Kirkpatrick OF
the Ethyl Gasoline corporation, sub
sidiary of Standard Oil and General
Motors, in rs states and a national
advertising campaign is to be launch
ed to Increase its use. New Jersey
forbade the use Of the lead gasoline
after the death OF FIVE workers at the
Bayway, N. J. plant Of Standard whore
the gas was being made.
Upon receipt of the bureau Of mines
report the prohibition was removed.

Especial 20 The Daily Worker

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, April 9.--Alex
Howat, lighting leader Of the militant
Kansas miners. will speak here at the
Musicians Hall. 1017 Washington

at p. m. Together with Howat,
Caroline A. Love- the woman at.

Tense of prosecuted /. w. w. and
other unionists for, many years, will
deal with the subject Of the evening,
"Labor's Prisoners"
Garment Workers. Faker Against
Howst.
An interesting incident, illustrating
the united front of labor fakerdom in
opposition to the revolutionary rank
and file movement in the unions
directed by the Trade Union Educa-
tional League, is the action OF J. l..
Hines, an oficer Of the Garment
Workers Union, in forbidding mem.
bers Of that union from announcing
HowRt's meeting or selling tickets, be-
cause owat is a rebel"
However, the garment workers
rank and fle have Just as little regard
for their international takers as have
the rank and file of the miners for
the Lewis gang-and 500 leaflets were
distributed Just the same and tickets
are being sold.
Howat Working In the Mines
Howat, 1t will be remembered, is
now member Of the u. M. w. Of A.
in spite Of HIS illegal removal, he hay.
ing been necessarily indicted into the
union because he went back to work
in the mines digging coal alongside
the men who have supported him thru
thick and thin for many years. The
meeting is held onsa Sunday to allow
'Howat to get back to his coal pick
in the mine on Monday.
The speech Of Alex Howat will deal
with the cause and consequences Of
the persecution Of Communists in
Michigan. This win show the connec-
ton between the prosecution of the
Communists and their industrial pro-
gram Of the transformation Of the
unions into instruments of class
struggle. All workers are invited to

compared with 666 net tons at IL
miles in 1924 and 692 net tons at 1O.6
miles an hour in January, 1928. Each
crew produced 5000 net ton miles for
the railroads for each hour for which
they were paid in 1925 compared with
1880 in 1924 and 1920 In 1923.
This increase in efficiency meant a
saving of about 600, 900 train hours in
January, 1928 compared with January
1928 with a consequent saving to the
railroads in wages to train crews.
More Profits to stockholders.
Railroad profits for the entire year
1924 gave some railroad stockholders
as high as $500 on each 800 share.

German-French Trade
Treaty Negotiations

commerce, and Herr Poose, head OF
the German delegation, failed to set.
tie disagreement over the number
of articles which the Germans desired
to bar from the benefits of the most
favored-nation clause.
A compromise appeared unlikely,
and unless the German delegates get
new instructions from Berlin, it is
thought the negotiations will be called
on.
The French were assured by the
Germans that they would be accord.

however, IL was found to comprise
about half the French exports to Ger

make another effort to keep the nego.
tiations open.
1t was said in official circles that
nothing had come OF the talk between
the French minister and Herr Poose.

Here is the way the papers will write
up weddings ten years hence, believes
Austin Butchu Of the Altoona Tribune /.
"The bride looked very well in q travel
in gdress, but all eyes were centered
upon the groom. He wore a dark suit
that fitted his form perfectly and in
his dainty gloved hand he carried a
rose. Delicate odor of hair oil of the
best quality. His curley hair was
beautifully done, and it fioated down
the aisle as he passed. The young
people will miss him now that he is
married. He is loved by all for his many
accomplishments, his tender grace and
winning ways. The bride commands a
good salary as bookkeeper and the
groom will miss none of the luxuries
to which he has been accustomed A
crowd of pretty men saw him off at
the depot"
