pared with $4,000 in 1920. An import
ant factor in the profitable showing
made by Goodrich in 1924, says the
journal, was the installation of more
modern machinery which resulted in.
reducing overhead.
Machines Ground Out Profits.
The latest issue of Iron Age shows
the following example of modern ma
chinery reducing the labor on various
operations:
A shop cutting bronze driving-box
shoes replaced a 10-year old planning
machine with a new 4S-inch Gray
maximum service planer. Operating
time was cut from 30 to 20 minutes.
The investment of s4,70O 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 esti-
nAdbOu at AVoso pei SCnIs
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 4SO to
80 minutes. The addition isvestment
of $4,79S made net profit of 3S4.4
per cent tho the tools were depreciat-
ed a 100 per cent year and the ma
chine was busy only two-thirds of the
time.
Not Used for Service.
Development of the internal gear
spindle drive in connection with radi-
al drills by the American Tool works
reduced the time for boring locomo-
tive side rods from $40 to So minutes.
The time required for one roughing
and two finishing cuts on the inner
cam surface of pump body was re-
duced from 40 to IL minutes by a No
IA Kearney & Trecker Milwaukee
Milling machine. Allowing 100 per
cent annual depreciation the net pro-
ats of this equipment were 1892 per
cent.
These are instances Of the new.
industrial revolution which is produc-
ing chronic unemployment. The huge
profits from capital invested in auto
matte machines comes largely out of
corresponding reductions in wage pay
ments. In spite Of the apparent main
tenance of peak wage rates the spend
ing power of the workers is steadily
reduced.

GOVT. MINIMUM
Garment Workers Need
Demanded Raise

NEW YORK, May &c. Wages in
the cloak industry are still far below
the sums needed to support family
of five, say the International Ladies'
Garment Workers in their final brief
ed arguments before the Smith media
ton commission which is sitting on
the demand for wage increases and
other improvements in conditions.
The average cloak worker earns
SLIGO annually and the amount esti-
mated by the bureau of municipal re-
search for a family of five is $2,066
a year, leaving a deficit of $306.
The department Of labor estimate Of
living standard is $2,08S; the labor
bureaus minimum for unskilled work
ers' costs is $2,275 and for skilled
workers $2,8S9.
The glazing difference between the
SLIGO paid the average cloak worker
and these figures disposes Of employ
ers' arguments that demands for
small increases are excessive.

special role in the development of
mankind.
"The Union" said Karakhan, with
its internal system and its interna-
tional policy, is a creation of Lenin-
inasmuch as with his mind and genius
he discerned in the complex and en-
tangled developments of world policy
and the internal life of Russia herself
the offsprings of a new world-the
world of Soviet Republics, with their
power of workers and peasants and
their role of grave-diggers of capital
ism and imperialism in the common
struggle with all the oppressed ma
tions of the world against any form
of imperialistic oppression.
Here, in China, the word imperial
ism is used very often, and the Chin
ese people-the revolutionary part
are right when they mean by it every
form of oppression, violence and de-
probation from which this country
suffers at the hands Of imperialism.
To drive this evil and free their coun-
try is the aim of an ever growing
number OF Chinese today and their
struggle will have the more chances
of success the better and the clearer
it will be understood what imperial
ism is and in what forms 1t reveals
itself for the most party"
The speaker then explained that i'm
perialism is, above all, a phenomenon
Of the economic order; 1t is the high
est form of capitalism, a stage which,
in the scheme Of world economy, is to
be followed by the socialist order. It's
depredatory nature Imperialism may
have been able to conceal on the eve
Of the world war; but, today, no one
will be deceived any longer, especially
herein Asia, In China, where are to
be found the chief sources Of the
world power Of imperialism and where
the latter's depredatory policy is felt
daily by all the people as q whole
and every Chinese individually.
Soviet Rule Opens New Era.
Karakhan then briefly stated the
scientific theories on Imperialism,
mainly as expounded in what is called
the "Leninism," demonstrating that
ours Is an epoch when capitalism, or
rather, its supreme form-imperial-
ism, has outlived its time, and when
we are entering upon a new era OF
long struggle for new economic and
political forms. for the rising TO pow
err Of the social layers oppressed as
class or nationally.
1.-THE first pages OF this new era
the speaker declares-'have been
opened by the creation OF the Soviet
Republics and their seven years ex-
istence."
Tells Of Chinese Struggles
Karakhan then proceeded to sketch
parallel between the struggle which
the Soviet Union has gone thru vic.
toriously against the world imperial
lists and the struggle that faces China,
a parallel from which this country
must draw hope and courage.

will continue to be served. Then there
are games for the young and games
for the old-that is for those who
have years but are still young enough

ones, you can take your choice after
listening to all three for the one price.
