OF special importance to labor is the
steady climb in railroad profits since
1920, because the labor board made
this prerequisite to increased con-
sideration of all the intricate details
incident to scientific adjustment of a
living and saving wage"
The s1S4,5S4,916 September profit
shows that the steady gain continues.
1t is the largest total ever secured
by the railroads in any month in their
history, comparing with the previous
high point of $127,OO0,0 900 in October,
1924. 1t is equivalent to an annual
return of 6A9o on the swollen valua-
ton of the entire railroad system.
October earnings, early figures indi-
cate, will exceed this, probably reach
ing $142,OO0,OOO.
The railroad unions have the facts
to demand that the labor board make
good.

RAIL PROFITS
INCREASE, BUT
WAGES DO NOT
Tremendous Increase
Since 1920
By LELAND oLps.

It's time for the railroad unions to
demand as a unit that the U. S. rail
labor board reconsider the entire wage
structure of the industry to establish
decent American standards, in view of
9-month railroad profits totaling $751;
S47,52O, a gain of S117,9O2,403 or
1870 over the same period in 1924
The suggested wage demand would
be legitimate response to the invita-
ton contained in the boards 1922
decision when it asked the employees
to bear and forebear" until the rail
roads were again on their feet. With
the largest profits of any year in their
history assured, no one can deny that
the roads have regained their equilib-
rum.
The probable total of railroad pro-
fits for 1925, estimated on the basis of
the 9-month figure, is S1,106,000, 900,
more than $6O,OOO,OOO above the pre-
vious peak in 1916. The years return
on the excessive valuation set by the
interstate commerce commission will
be about 51aqo while full SO will be
earned on the entire investment value

the carriers themselves.

RUSSIA IMPORTS
40 PER CENT OF
NEEDS FROM U. S.
SOUiets Buy Machines
and Cotton Goods


WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov pa
statistical report Of the foreign trade
Of the Soviet Union for the Soviet
fiscal year ending Sept. 80, received
by the Russian Information Bureau
from the commlssariat for foreign
trade, shows that during the last
quarter Of the fiscal year 1920 Of all
Soviet imports came from the United
States, which led all countries on the
import list for the year. Before the
war imports from America formed
only so of the total. The United
States forged ahead Of Germany at
the beginning Of the year and out
stripped England in the spring.
The Soviet Unions total foreign
trade turnover for the fiscal year
broke all postwar records. The total
turnover, for the European frontiers,
was $587, 100000. With the Asiatic
frontiers added, the total turnover
would be about $644,120,O00, as COM
pared with S4S4,91O,OOO in 1924, and
$780, 100000 before the war The
turnover thus increased 1870 over the
previous year and stands at nearly
500 of the pre-war value. Imports
are limited by the government to
maintain the currency at gold parity.
Imports for the year were $780,
100000 and exports 1851, 100000, Civ
ing an adverse balance of $55, 100000,
as compared with favorable balance
Of $4,000, 900 in 1924. The adverse
balance is attributed to the poor
harvest of 1924 and the resultant
cessation of grain exports, which or
dinarily make up 45qo of the export
list.
September was the largest month
for Russian trade since 1917, with
a turnover of $74,SSO, 900 in which
exceeded exports by 100000. The
imports included cotton worth $780,
600, cotton goods worth $3,65O,0O0,
tractors worth $1,5OO,OO0 and other
agricultural machinery worth $1,450,-
900. All the cotton and the tractors
came from the United States. The
exports included grain worth $685.
900.

German Police Prepare
to Defend Capitalists
Against Labor's Revolt

BERLIN, Nov. 29-Recently, the in
habitants of the town Of Gotha in
Thuringia were suddenly awakened
from their sleep by shooting, march
ing troops, loud shouts, etc. This
time the people responsible for the
noise were not fascists, but the repub-
lies German police force, which was
practicing street battles against work
ers. The proletarians in uniform are
thus trained in fratricide and the
bourgeoisie in its constant fear of the
revolution, assures itself like this
that it's white terror will be success
full.
Such happenings as that in Gotha
prove that the time of white terror in
Germany-the years 1919, 1921 and
1928 are not yet ended.

Bay State Governor a
Strike Breaker

BOSTON-(FP)- Essaying the role
of Calvin Coolidge, who fought the
policemen's strike of Boston, the
present governor, Alvin T. Fuller,
comes out with a denunciation Of the
Commonwealth Service Assn, the
new organization of Bay state en-
ployes that is enrolling many mem
bers.
Here is the G. o. P. governors
antiunion declaration:
"No person who would, through
joint action, attempt to compel the
state to increase his or her salary
need expect any special consideration
Of a favorable nature from me. l
welcome the opportunity of saying
this before some young people find
themselves belonging to an organiza-
ton that is in the control of some
radicals whose action may get the
membership into trouble"
George B. Willard, first deputy
state treasurer of Massachusetts,, and
president of the eastern Massachu-
sets unit of the employee organiza-
ton, answers Fuller by announcing
his candidacy for the state presiden,
cy, an office not yet filed. Frank A.
Goodwin, state registrar of motor We
hicles, and vice president of the east
ern unit calls the Fuller blast a
threat which may have the opposite
effect of that intended by his excel
lency." Nue.
These and other officials of the
new union are not radicals and their
organization is not affiliated with the
A. F. of L. or any outside labor move
ment But economic conditions are
forcing defensive movement, though
what kind of action the association
will take is problematic. Wages have
not kept pace with the cost of living.
Fuller's antilabor record goes back
to wartime when as an executive of
the Packard Car Co. he broke strike
among their Massachusetts employees.
Earlier this year, when the Boston
elevated system employees voted for
strike he issued what amounted to
threat of strikebreaking. But the
issue never came to a head for the
stiff front of the men forced the COM
pany trustees to arbitrate.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Nov. 2e.-
AItho this city Of 1880 population
has only 1900 Jewish families, it is
now the scene Of Jewish campaign
for $4,000. This money is to be
used to erect modern home for the
Young Mems Hebrew Association and
the Talmud Torah.
The Y. NJ. H. A. differs from the
Y. M. c. A. only in that one is Jewish
and the other is not. The Talmud
Torah is a free religious school where
ancient rabbis are poisoning the minds
of working-class children, as most Of
them are, with religious ceremonies
and superstitions and the dead Hebrew
language.
Knowing the value of such organ
izations for keeping workers mentally
enslaved, the rich Jews are donating
freely. They have plenty of cold cash
exploited from their employees, either
in factories or in their stores and
pawn shops. The owner of the Spring
field Public Market gave $4,000.
Every Jewish resident has been put
down for a certain amount. Thus,
small business men are forced to
give for fear of losing favor with
wholesalers and bankers, and work.
