Miners Lose Jobs for May Day.

To the DAILY WORKER The
miners of Bentleyville organized
May Day demonstration for May 1st
A committee waited on the general
superintendent of the two mines out
of the ten here that are still working
2 days week and told him that the
men would not work on their holiday,
May list. The committee also called
on the burgess for permit to parade.
The burgess told them to go to some
other town on May if they wanted
to parade. He said he absolutely
would not issue a permit for the
May Day parade because that would
get him in bad with the city council.
More Freedom in Europe.
The general superintendent told the
committee if they wanted to celebrate
May 1, they had better go to Europe.
When the committee made its report
at the miners meeting, the miners de-
cided to hold a protest meeting in
stead of parade at 2 in the afternoon
on May l. Also that no one was to
report to work on that day.
When the general superintendent
heard of this he ordered the two
mines to work on May 1. To make a
real test case out of it these mines
were shut down days before the
first.
On the first Of May the one mine
known as the Ellsworth Mine No. 1,
was 100 men short out of a shift of
500 and the other mine. known as
the Acme Mine No. 2, had only las
men working out Of its 500. The gen.
eral superintendent ordered the Acme
Mine No. closed at once and all
the men to remove their tools on
May 2. On that very same day he
opened one of the other mines that
had been shut down only recently, be-
cause he said, There are no reds at
the Mariana mine" But he is mis-
taken. If anything, there are more
reds there than at the Acme Mine
No. 2.
This shows the complete control
the bosses have over the lives Of
workers. They can throw men out
of work whenever they please. But
IL the miners lay OF one day for their
own holiday they are punished. Our
good" officials of the United Mine
Workers of America are standing pat
with the local operators and say that
It is not more than right. But we
Communists will show them that or
ganized under the Communist Inter-
national, we will some day get rid
of this bunch of labor takers and es-
tablish a real workers and farmers
government for the benefit Of the
workers.-Adam Getto.

Chinese actors evidently do not ac-

WASHINGTON, May 1S-CFP)-
Presidents Collins Of the Railway Mail
association, Gainor of the Letter Car
riers and George of the Postoffice
Clerks, with Secretary Flaherty Of the
Postoflce Clerks, have been address
ing meetings OF postofice workers on
postal policy, and have aroused q gem
eral determination among them to ask
congress to fix the fundamental poll
cies of the service. At present the
policies are dictated by the bureau
Gratis in the department, to the detri-
ment of the public and the workers
in the service.
Collins states that since 1914 the
department has taken $500 railway
mail distributors from the cars, and
that there are 1850 less men in rail-
way mail service than at that time,
altho the business handled is 100 per
cent greater. The number Of mail
cars is less, by many hundreds. Rail-
way mail is sent to terminal railway
postoflces for slow distribution and
for forwarding after delays Of from 5
hours to several days.
Magazines published in Washing
ton, for example, take two weeks to
reach offices in New York State. De-
partmental policy here is injurious to
good service, while the postmaster

Send Youth to Die in Morocco

which resulted in several killed and
many injured among the native work
ers The injured demanded compen-
sation. Their right to this was be-
yond dispute. The company refused
to grant compensation. Thereupon the
Riff people revolted against this act
of open robbery. The native workers
of the French company of North
Africa rose at the same time against
the capitalists. The French author
tiles succeeded in quelling the revolt
of the natives.
Exploit Riffians
The Spanish authorities made use
of the events in Morocco as an excuse
for carrying on an imperialist policy.
Another factor which played a certain
part in this connection was the fact
that a year later, in 1910, Alphonso
XIII, "the idiot on the throne" was
egged on by courtiers, and of course
before all by the greedy Spanish and
other capitalists, to an imperialist
undertaking against Morocco in order
to conquer new countries for the
fatherland" and to appear, in history
as Alphonso the African.
The Spanish officers, who, as a re-
suit of the former colonial wars, were
in very i'll repute, desired an oppor-
tunity whereby they could freshen up
their faded military laurels. Morocco
seemed to promise an easy victory.
With the help of the army chiefs
there was founded COLONIZATION
company for the Riff Area The
colonizers, Immediately and without
any conjunction commenced to ex-
propriate the Riff people for the adj
vantage and benefit of the capitalists
and of the army chiefs and officers.
Prospectors had announced the ex-
istence of rich mineral treasures in
the Riff district. The blood of the
Spanish soldiers and of the Riff popu-
lation which was shed for years in
Morocco was coverted into fat profits.
The mining company of the Riff re-
Gently distributed it's dividends for
the year 1924: rs pesetas per share
instead of so pesetas in 1928. The
miserably paid labor of the native
mine workers serves to compete with
the labor Of the miners of Spain and
to depress their already scandalously
low wages still further. The crisis
In the mining industry is becoming
more acute. This is characterized by
a striking fact, reported in the finan-
cial journals: A treaty has been con-
cluded with German firms, according
to which the latter will purchase 50,-
900 tons of pig iron in North Africa
Krlm VIII Not Be Brlbed ,,y
Since 1921 the Morocco question
has assumed another character for
Spain. Hitherto Spanish Imperialism
had only encountered the hostility of
some Of the native tribes, who carried
out scattered reyolts without any CO.
ordination and without political aims,
Spain combined military action with
so-called "civiI' action, which con-
sisted in bribing the more influential
tribal chiefs in order that the latter
should betray their people and their
cause. This policy was specially made
use Of the native leaders Roghi, Mu-
ley, Hafid and Reisuni. They carried
on prosperous and, for them, very
profitable trade with the colonizers;
in fact one of their methods was from
time to time to provoke a revolt
among the tribes against Spain for

two counties In which mining is carried on
for more or less precious gems, and while the
industries are not very large they are Of cOnsid-
cradle Importance, as indicated by the report
made by the state board equalization upon their
production during the year 1924, which is de-
scribed in a news item as follows:
"There are two sapphire mines in the state.
One is in Granite county, operated by the Ameri-
can Gem mining syndicate Of st. Louis and one
in Judith Basin county, operated by the New
Mine Sapphire syndicate Of London, England.
The former is a placer mine, producing indus
trial stones. The latter is more on the order of
a quartz mine, and produces the famous Yogo
gems. The American Gem Mining syndicate pro-
duces stones valued at $22,799.O5 during the pc
Rod, while the London cOmpany's production was
valued at $69,823.91."

THE FURROW DRILL

In a recent issue of the Montana Farmer, Clyde
Mckee, agronOmist at Montana State. college, has
a lengthy article upon the use of the furrow drill
IN planting winter grain, in which he says:
"The results of preliminary investigation con-
Quoted by the AgrOnomy Department at BOzeman
do not justify the use of a furrOw drill on the
heavy irrigated soils of the Gallatin valley. How
ever, on the bench lands of that valley where the
soils are lighter and inclined to blow, it is believed
that there is a place for the furrOw drill. The
same general recommendation will no doubt hold
true in the winter wheat sections of southern
Montana, east of the divide"
This implement was introduced by the Moccasin
experiment station and has been quite generally
used in the Judith basin, where it has reduced
winter-kiling and increased production.
Experiments at the MOccasin station extending
over a period of four years showed that 1873 per-
cent of the wheat sOwn with the furrOw drill sur
vived while only 62.3 percent Of that sOwn with
the ordinary drill came through the winter alive.
During the same period wheat sOwn with the
furrOw drill showed an average yield 27.7 percent
higher than that sown with the ordinary drill.

deals with the furrow drill and may be had by
applying to the experiment station at BOzeman.
Farmers living upon non-irrigated land in the
Gallatn valley might do well to obtain this bull
letin and try out the furrow drill upon their land
this fall. It's use might materially reduce winter
killing in the valley and increase the average
yield.
If it will do either of these things it will in
crease the amount of wheat Gallatin valley farm
ers have to sell and is well worth trying out.

WOMEN WILL HEED THIS

This may not be the best argument
against smoking by women, but it will
have a more depressing effect than
talk about immortality, lack Of dig
nifty, unhealthfulness or the evil in
fluence on the coming generation.
Mrs. Ruth Maurer, president of the
American Cosmeticians' society, adj
vises "Cigarets may not affect a
woman's morals but they'll kill her
beauty. I've no personal objection to
smoking, but it has been proved that
the woman who smokes DOT finds
slipping lines at the corners Of her
mouth downward curves that will
make deep lines and ruin a happy ex-
preston in cid age"
Women who sit for hours in beauty
chairs fighting facial blemishes and
starve themselves in an effort to keep
their waistlines down, and most OF
them do, will heed this kind CT adj
vice.

SOUNDS REASONABLE

The Potter plan of increasing and distributing
freight revenues for the northwestern railroads
sounds very reasonable. Whether it is workable
or not remains to be seen, as, quite naturally, its
adoption is opposed by the roads which will be
least benefited by it.
The railroads are asking for a straight increase
of II percent throughout the western group,
while Mr.. Potter's plan c~ontemplates a raise of
but five percent, the proceeds to be segregated,
pooled and distributed among the carriers now
earning less than ga percent in proportion to
then deficit percentage.
The transportation act permits railroads to earn
a net maximum return of 5 ga percent. This is
not a guarantee in any sense Of the word, and
many of them have not made that large a profit.
The roads in the northwest have suffered as
has every other industry from the adverse con-
ditions prvailing since the war. The Milwaukee is
a notable example and is now under a receiver
ship as a result. The Potter plan is designed for
the express purpose of securing adequate relief
for this road at the least additional expense to
its shippers.
In a circular sent out to the press in behalf Of
his plan, Mr.. Potter points out the fact that if
increases are granted to bring the earnings Of
all roads up to near the 5 ga percent allowed by
law, or even to wipe out present operating deficits,
20 percent, 80 percent, 40 percent, or perhaps
more, would be required by some carriers to
serve their needs.
He says: "n order to obtain the fund necessary
to meet the need of such carriers, it should not be
necessary to burden the shippers with paying q
vast amount to go to carriers which are not en-
titled to it. To adopt such a course would be tt
violate the spirit of the transportation act anC
work gross injustice. A horizontal increase, to b.
enjoyed by all carriers, it therefore seems ap
parent, would accord neither with justice, tn,
spirit of transportation act nor sound econ
Omics.
"There is a method to get additional income TO
carriers that need it and not for others. It cal
be put into effect promptly without cumbersOm
proceedings. Let there be an increase Of less thai
II percent-say, to illustrate, only s percent
throughout the Western group. Segregate AM
pool the proceeds Of that increase. Give no poI
tion. Of the proceeds Of the increase to carrier
enjoying a return in excess of 5 ga percent
Divide the entire proceeds among carriers earn
