plan will defeat itself. If the allies,

it simply means that they are giving

Inherent Contradictions.
The only other alternative seen by
Mr.. Gilbert is the export of German
made goods being developed. How
ever, if Germanys exports are devel-
oped. it will be only at the expense
of cutting down the export trade, and
even infringing on the domestic trade,

England lntimates Dawes Collapse.
The collapse Of the bombastic
claims of General Dawes and his fam

pedalled. The allied governments are
forced to speak softly, and altho Win
ston Churchill, chancellor of the ex-
chequer in his budget estimate for
running the British government for

Germany to England in Preparations,
little is said about why this discount

France Plays Shrewd Trick.
In France, also, yesterdays an

counted in the budget as available

PEELED to raise the budget only by in
creased and unprecedented taxes laid
upon the farmers and upon consum-
able commodities. This will at once
increase the already high cost of liv-

Wheat Crop Below
Normal, Farmers Too
Poor to Buy Seed

WASHINGTON, May 10 IT Amer
icas winter wheat crop will be ap-
proximately 145,OO,OOO bushels, or
nearly 25 per cent short .. last years
crop, the department OF agriculture
estimated today.
Sharply decreased acreage was
primarily responsible, reflecting the
adverse conditions that prevailed
among wheat farmers at planting
time. because Of the low price wheat
unable to buy seed.
The yield also will contribute to
the smaller crop. the forecast being
more than bushel TO the acre off.
The board reported that the crop
may be larger or smaller than the
forecast given, as developments dur
ing the remainder OF the season
prove more or less favorable to the
crop than usual.

CARMEN lose
TO Open SHOP
in CLEVELAND
Takers Stopped Men
Striking Too Often
Especial to The Daily worker,)


CLEVELAND, ohio, May TO-
Street car conductors and motormen
voted against strike here Saturday.
The company had declared an open
shop and refused to compromise. This
is the net result Of the betrayal by
international union officers a year ago.
Votes were cast at the barns after
a deadlock between the company and
union officials. A two-thirds major
ity was needed to empower the Off
Gals to call a strike. The vote was
Lis for and 1852 against strike.
Open Shop Wins by Takers Betrayal
The position of the men now is that
they must work under open shop con-
ditions at 65 cents an hour as the
highest, altho they had formerly been
awarded 70 cents by an arbitration
board. When the company ignored
the boards decision, the union Off
GERS, instead of allowing the men to
strike, as they wanted to do, took
the case to the capitalist courts.
The courts threw out the arbitra-
ton boards decision. The Ohio su-
preme court refused to review the
case and handed down decision prac-
tically outlawing contracts with
unions in public utilities.
Capitalist Court Against Union.
John ]. Stanley, company president,
then paid the men IS cents an hour, a
five-cent raise, beginning May l. The
union offered a compromise by which
the men would accept the open shop
in exchange for ten cent raise, or
70 cents an hour.
Stanley declared such contract
would be illegal. OF course, he would
not do anything illegal, and the SUI
preme court decision would be vio-
lated. The men then voted on the
following question distributed on bal
lots at the barns:
The Ballot
ssThe company refuses TO enter a
contract with Division 26S, Amalgam-
ated Association of Street and Elec-
trio Railway Employees OF America.
Are you willing to cease work if nee
essary to support your organization?
The power to call strike was re-
fused. The men-fear strike would
fail today. Stanley, who is so Flaw

readiness and armored cars were be-

G. o. p.
This is an outgrowth Of the treach-

was held today friday in Wash

Cemetery on an altitude overlooking
the city where for 80 years he wa.

I His services as a colonel in the
Spanish@American War entitled him
to resting place among the nations
soldier dead. and he oftimes ex-
pressed desire to be buried in Arl-
ington.
The services at the request of the
family were simple and in keeping
with the wishes of the dead In a
letter of coincidence to the widow
of the Nebraskan, President Coolidge
said:
My dear Mrs. Bryan:
''The sudden death of Mr.. Bryan
brought sense of personal loss to
Mrs. Coolidge and myself. 1t was
only the other day that he had been
our guest at the White House. We
wish to extend to you our heartfelt
sympathy.
"Mr Bryan had been a prominent
figure in public affairs for third of
a century. He had been a leader in
the advocacy of many moral reforms
and was representative of the effort
for purity in our political life. He
was endowed with the great gift of
eloquence. The sincerity of his mo-
tives was beyond dispute He was
three times chosen head of a great
political party and held the exalted
Office of Secretary of State His ca
reer was another example of what
American opportunity affords to those
who have the will industriously ap-
ply themselves. 1t would be difficult
to find among his contemporaries any
one with so large circle of friends
and acquaintance who had so gener-
ously bestowed upon him their es-
TEEN and confidence.
Il trust that you may be given
great consolation in remembering all
his worth and in the abiding faith
that Divine Providence has ordered
all things well"
The funeral party arrived in
Washington yesterday and the body
lay in state in the Presbyterian
Church. from which the funeral took
place, until noon today.
The coffin was carried to Airing
ton on a caisson, as is done when
military funerals are held, but the
obsequies were without ostentation

FRACTURES LIMB PECULIARLY

Mrs. John T. Haas fractured her
left limb Saturday morning about
1880. The accident was most pc
culiar one, and perhaps would never
happen again under the same cir
cumstances. Mrs. Haas was baking
bread and sat down in a chair to wait
for it to bake. In the meantime she
fell aslep. The clock struck the half
hour and Mrs. Haas hastily jumped
up, to rush to the stove. While sleep
ing, it seems that her leg had "gone
to Sleep" and when she jumped up
was numb and gave way under her
weight. throwing her to the floor,
causing the fracture just above the
knee.
