May Not Pass House

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, May 2S.-The
so-called anti-injunction bill sponsored
by the Illinois State Federation of La
Dor was passed by the state senate
yesterday by a vote Of 2S to 16 1t
now goes to the lower house, where
the employers organizations are con-
fident it can be killed as the last SINH
lar bill was killed.
The vital spot in the bill is its pro-
vision prohibiting courts from issuing

CHICAGO, May 2s-The report Of the
National Industrial (employers) Con-
ferance board showing that in March,
1926, industry was employing 20 per
cent fewer workers than in June, 1920,
marks the rapidity with which auto
matte machines are displacing human
workers. With production so high that
the country could not absorb all the
goods turned out, hundreds of thou
sands of workers were looking for a
chance to work
The Wall Street Journal reports
that the B. F. Goodrich Co., manufac-
turers Of tires and rubber footwear,
are producing approximately the same
number of tires as in 1920 with lit
tie over half as many workers, $4,000
compared with $4,000 in 1920 An I'M
portant factor in the profitable show
ing made by Goodrich in 1924, says
the journal, was the installation Of
more modern machinery which re-
suited in reducing overhead.
More Work In Less Time
The latest issue Of Iron Age shows
the following examples Of modern ma
chinery. reducing labor on various OPP
erations: A shop cutting bronze driv-
ing-box shoes replaced 10-year old
planning machine with new 48-inch
Gray maximum service planer. Op-
Grating time was cut from 80 to 20
minutes. The investment of $4,000 is
earning annual net profits of 1876 per
cent. A railroad shop reduced the
time for grinding crank pins from As
to 20 minutes by an investment of
$3.50 in new machinery. The annual
net profit on the new investment is
estimated at 1858 per cent.
4eo-MInute Job in so Minutes
In milk bottle factories the substi-
tuition of jigged up turret lathe for
an engine lathe operated by crafts
man of the old school has reduced
the time for making molds from $50
to 80 minutes. The additional invest
ment of $4,739 made a net profit of
3S44 per cent though the tools were
deprecated 100 per cent a year and
the machine was busy only two-thirds
Of the time.
Development Of the internal gear
spindle drive in connection with radial
drills by the American Tool works re-
duced the time for boring locomotive
side rods from $40 to So minutes.
The time for one roughing and two fin
ishing cuts on the inner cam surface
Of a pump body was reduced from 40
to II minutes by a No. IA Kearney
& Trecker Milwaukee milling ma
chine. Allowing 100 per cent annual
depreciation the net profits of this
equipment were 1892 per cent.

To the DAILY WORKER: Yours Of

those written in English, and only
what the authorities would approve Of.
The reason why / am here, perhaps,
is not one, but many. The main rea-
son, however, is not entirely for being
class conscious, but for being impe-
cunious and not able to employ coun-
sci for defense.
1t was during the open shop

years ago, that I became a victim of

illegally raided by the police, who de-
liberately took and carried away, my
legitimate things, including my natur-
alization papers, and my liberty bonds,
expropriating all my money in the
banks, giving no account for the
same. So, after considerable delay,
and much publicity in the local press,

STATE COSSACKS
IN PENNSYLVANIA
WAR ON WORKERS
Swabeck's Arrest Part
of Persecution
(speeIaI to Lac Daily worker

PITTSBURGH, Pa, (By Mail.)-
The state police and the state anti-se-
dition law, the darlings of the Fay
cite county open shop" coal opera
tors, were used to Interfere with a
regular Workers Party meeting at
Brownsville, Pa, last Sunday Arne
Swabeck, the district organizer of the
Workers Party. was placed under ar
rest and informed that he was held
for federal investigation for alleged
violation Of the state anti-sedition
law.
Fear for White House Flag.
Altho the arrest took place before
the meeting was called to order the
little local sheet, controlled by these
coal operators, on Monday morning
treated its readers to story of the
red organizer having demanded that
the stars and stripes be taken down
from the White House and the red
flag substituted.
On the following Tuesday, however,
it changed its headline to announce
that Swabeck had been released for
lack Of evidence and the justice of
peace before whom the case was
heard was compelled to state that the
Workers Party was within it's rights
to hold meetings.
Police Close to Coal Barons.
State cossacks have been gathering
in numbers in Brownsville to help
smash the only stronghold of the
miners union in the Fayette county.
The Hillman coal company, one of
the companies which recently put a
$500 a day wage reduction into effect
conveniently has one Of its offices
right alongside the state police head
quarters.
The attempts to smash the union,
as usual, is first directed against the
militants. On Saturday, May 16, when
the film "Polikushka" was shown at
West Brownsville moment when GER
tain parts of the movie protector
broke down was used as a pretext to
pinch the operator as the balance of
the reels to be shown may contain
seditious material.
On the following day the films were
returned after having been run off by
the operator at the local movie thea
ter and no seritious material found.
Only Fight the Workers.
While the state police is keeping
itself busy harassing arrangements
made by the Workers Party and help
ing weaken the union, its supposed
function of upholding Flaw and order"
seems to be of less Importance. For
two years blind pig has been thriv-
Ing and expanding its business just
two squares away from the center of
the city. Many affidavits have been
sworn out to the effect that booze is
being sold at the place yet the cos
sack captain, Pierce, consistently re-
fuses to take any steps whatever
claiming that he has no evidence.
To the open shop" operators, of
course, such trifles and even greater
abuses Of established regulations mat
tiers little as long as the cossacks can
maintain their efficiency in striving
toward the goal-the smashing of all
working class organizations.

years ago without friends and without

town, going into debt for the land and
for the equipment, but he had a good
business and the future looked prom

Then n unlucky spring day a cy

q considerable part of the residence

a heap of tangled iron and broken
glass. His dwelling house, which was
adjacent to the greenhouse was torn
into fragments by the swirling wind

in the greenhouse as big as a mans

CARBON PIONEER
CALLED Beyond

Alexander Hundly, probably Car
bOn's earliest settler, died last week
at his home in Joliet at the age Of
Sc years.
He CAME to Montana in 1865 and
after scouting around this practically
u~ninhabitated country for several
years, he came to what has since
become Carbon county in 1872 and To-
Gated on a ranch about a mile west
CT what is now Boyd. During the 60
years since his arrival, he remained
a continuous resident and saw the
west develop from an isolated land
of Indians and wild animals, through
the territorial days and those Of the
frontier and wild west, to statehood
and settlement as an agricultural and
industrial commonwealth.

F-ORECASTING SPRING
Butte Miner

It is only natural for the inhabitants of climatic
zones wherein there is a well defined winter peri
cd, to feel a decided interest in the coming of
spring.
While the great benefits of winter are recog-
nized and a too open winter season is undesirable,
yet after several months of real winter, the
spring is bound to be greeted with a very apparent
cheerfulness and optimism.
There is a health giving quality in the winter
air whose Importance cannot be overestimated.
Just about the time, a couple of months or so ago,
when a "flu" epidemic threatened to attain con-
siderable proportions along came a cold spell that
clarified the air, wrought terrific destruction
among the FLU germs and put an end to the cold
in-the-head ailment that had been attacking so
many people in this locality.
The fall of snow always has great Importance.
Those who might be disposed to complain of it
should bear in mind that such precipitation means
a replenishing of the water supply that must be
had in sufficient quantity if favorable conditions
for farming and in other directions are to obtain
during the ensuing summer and fall seasons.
But just the same, whatever the nature of the
winter months here, the advent of spring is noted
with pleasure, not because, in truth, our spring
seasons are especially delightful, but because
spring signifies the ending of a sufficiency of
winter and is the prelude to as excellent summer
and Indian summer seasons as could be desired.
There have been various indications of an early
spring this year. The fact of the very cold period
during the later part of December was taken by
some close observers of weather conditions to
mean that spring would manifest itself compare.
lively early. There also was a very interesting
statement from astronomical sources to the effect
that after an interval of a couple of years or 81
in which there had been some l~essening of warmth
from the sun because Of certain peculiar condi
lions of radiation, there was at hand a quick re
turn to normally in that regard. H
And then, of course, grounding day was await
ed with interest by those who profess to see il
weather conditions on that occasion the means O
{ forecasting anent the ensuing spring.
/, Whatever definite determination arrived at il
l that regard, the positive fact of the matter i
2 that from one end of the year to the other, w
q enjoy a really admirable climate. There is excel
Y lent variation in it. 1t has that quality which
y wonderfully stimulating. There is no chance Q
o becoming enervated in this climate.
1t indeed is we'll for us to recognize and apprec
e ate the climatic blessings that we have.
