After half an hour came upon them, riding
swiftly and shouting as they rode, and then half
wished had not There was blood on their hands,
their garments and the tips of their lances and
. smeared all over their horse trappngs Evidently
the unfortunate caravan had put up plucky fight
Three strange cames, with empty saddles, trotted
behind them loaded with bundles of salt leather and
brghtcolored silks, that the women that evening
squealed and chartered over the unpackng of, not
seeming to notice the brown marks of dried blood
that Stained them.
The warriors would give me no details of the
fight and seemed politely displeased when asked
questions. Evidently it was not considered suitable
that an unbeever should learn the history of that
little drama silent and unchroncled, as are all the
dramas and tragedies of the Sahara, great Sphinx
who leaves clues, who keeps her secrets.
Never once throughout my visit did! see the face
of Targu man. None knows the origin of the lith-
am or VEIL but believe that they do not remove it,
even during sleep, and if Targu maiden should
wish to embrace her lover he may only as | have
seen, lower it few inches to enable her to kiss the
end of his nose!
Hospitality is the religion almost of all Saharan
races Anywhere when you fall in with strangers
you are, within five minutes, corpse or an honored
guest! There is no middle course. These Touaregs
who had kidnapped me out of sheer curiosity law
ished every hospitality upon me and placed the whole
camp at my disposal. Only did have an awk-
ward moment, and that was when l unwittngly
transgressed tenet of their religion or, rather,
superstition.
don't think more superstitous race exists than
the Touaregs. They have invented din of some
kind for every animate and nanimate thing, for
every stone and tree and road against whose machi
nations they wear an astounding quantity of grgris
amulets made by the In particular they
have horror of death, which they consider to be
unnatural phenomenon, and of dead bodies. Not
knowing this admitted one day to having inspected
newly-made grave, even to having touched the
white linen in which the corpse was wrapped. There
was CONSERVATION in the camp! Assuredly / must
be haunted by the din of the grave should cast the
Evil Eye upon them and bring misfortune on the
tribe.
A long conclave was held to decide what should
be done with me. The ordinary procedure would
have been to raise camp and shift to some less ill
omened spot, leaving alone with the evil spirits.
But to my great relief my host eventually decided
that being an unbeever my actions were not suti-
GENTLY important TO matter, and was left in peace.

will marry freed slave or live
with one. If a married woman,
as sometimes happens, produce
a black baby, her virtue is not
impugned, and the accident is
conveniently ascribed to the
Vaccinations of sorcerer. The
offspring of a Targui and a
slave is called Belah, and make
handsome women and brave
men, and the Belahs around
Timbuktu are beginning to
form a tribe of their own.

lar on account of my efforts to assist
a poor girl who had been abandoned
by the tribe. This young woman had
a husband, obviously dying of con-
sumption, but his illness was consid-

fact that his wife had an elfn lover.
For the Touaregs believe that GER

and that this unholy passion causes a
woman to be repealed by human ca.

slow and painful death. This poor
girl was almost starving, and, besides,
had to walk very many miles each
day to fetch water, for she was for

Slavery exists in two forms in West
Central Africa One form, modi
fled one, is kind Of serfdom, the
captives holding much the same posi-:
ton as the serfs of our English Mid
die Ages. That is to say, they can.
not be bought or sold, or married
against their will, but have no rights
to personal property, and must work
and fight for their patrons without
regular wages, though sometimes they
receive a certain share of the booty
taken in warfare, and in return for
their allegiance the masters look after
their interests and uphold them.
The other form, which still exists
largely among the well-to-do negroes
of the bush, and especially among the
Touaregs (though the mention of it is
anathema to the French, who do all
in their power in the regions under
their jurisdiction to stamp it out), is
slavery pure and simple. The slaves
are always negroes, near Timbuktu
generally of the tribe of Sonhrais, and
are bought and sold or taken in raids
against neighboring tribes, and their
children also are slaves.
They are almost invariably well
treated, less from philanthropic mo-
tiveS nerhanS than because thew

These are the principal occupations
aside from maintenance mechanics.
Practically all the miners in Alabama
are company miners, the contract
miners being obviously in the super
visory class. On the other hand the
majority Of miners in the northern
field are classified as contract miners
averaging about $S4 a week.
In both regions there are also open
pit mines in which the 6O-hour week
prevails both north and south. But
there is a vast difference in earnings.
Thus common labor in the northern
pit mines gets $25.74 week COM
pared with the $14.70 weekly average
in Alabama. Other comparisons are
pitmen $2S. IA and $15.1S; shovel fire.
men 1926 and $3.50; trackmen
$25.14 and $500; trip riders $30.46
and $2S.S6; other employees 1921 and
$17.5S raes
For the present the quality of the
northern ore and the ease with which
it is worked make possible the main
tenance of the higher wage standards
of the northa But any time the miners
Of Minnesota and Michigan make an
organized attempt to secure better
conditions they will face the ability
of the steel trust to meet all its de-
mands in the south.

One Of Largest Deals
Concluded in u. S.

TOLEDO, Ohio, Jue 16. = One Of
the largest business transactions ever
concluded by the Soviet Union in
this country was closed when the Sow
let government glass trust (Prodosi-

the Graham type of bottle machine
from the Owens Bottle company of
this city. Hundreds Of thousands Of
dollars were involved in the transac-
ton.
The Prodosilicat does all the buy
ing and selling for the glass and 9TH
er allied industries.
The negotiations, which have been
under way for year and half, were
brought to successful conclusion
when the contract for the sale was
signed by representatives Of the Sow

pany. The Soviet Union paid cash
for the bottle rights, thru New

IRON MINES OF

Low WAGE CURSE
Gary Likes Conditions in
Alabama
BY LELAND oLDs,
Federated Preaa.

Iron miners in the southern ore
mines Of the steel trust slave so
hours week underground while
those in the mines of Minnesota and
Michigan average less than 4S hours.
But do the 60-hour men Of the south
earn correspondingly higher wages?
They do not, for their hourly rate is
so low that they make less in 60
hours than their northern brothers
make in fraction over Az.
In the northern ore region the steel
+magnates have over 1000, OOO, 900 tons
Of ore in reserve. But in the south
their reserves total over 10000, 0O0,-
600 tons.
Gary Hadlates Optimism.
1t is this situation in the south that
makes chairman Gary radiate optim-
ism when visiting the steel corpora
ton plants near Birmingham, Ala. He
sees inexhaustible stores Of ore sur
rounded by large reserves Of the
cheapest labor in the country, labor
accustomed to sweat long hours for
bare subsistence. It makes him so
happy that he chooses the corpora
TONS Birmingham sanitarium as an
ideal place to recoup his tired nerves.
The contrast between iron mines
north and south of the Mason and
Dixon line is brought out in a study
Of wages and hours in metal mines
by the U. s. bureau of labor statistics.
From this are taken the following fig
ures showing hourly and weekly earn

LAND GAMBLER
Tried to Jug His Aged
Parent
BY A. w. HoWITT
(Worker correspondent)

TOLEDO, Ohio, June 13-(By Mail)
Canton Ave. which has been known
as the bad lands in Toledo for many
years, and which has been motor.
ious spot for holdups and murders, is
experiencing great change in appear
ance.
About dozen old shacks and tene.
ments are being torn down The rea-
son for this change is not because of
the fact that these delapidated struc-
lures are menace to the life and
health of the slum proletariat who
have been inhabiting them but; it is
because that real estate values have
increased.
As long as these SNUG church Nom.
bers and hypocrites who pirate so
much about our pure womanhood and
who are the advocates of bible read
Ing In the schools, could rent these
mouldy, disease breeding. yermin in
tested, fire traps to unfortunate
women who have to sell their bodies
for bread; they were perfectly willing
to do this.
The chrlstiy Plunderer.
The heaviest holder Of real estate N
this neighborhood is a very pa(y)tri.
otto church member by name Sam
Davis, who has become wealthy by
exploiting slaves in the coal, and
trucking business.
This man attempted to send his
aged father to the poorhouse several
years ago. but was prevented from
doing this however, by indignant
neighbors who learned of his inten-
lions.
The city has grown up around these
slums and the real estate values have
increased to such an extent that the
parasites who hold this land can cash
is now and can make as much as they
would by renting to unfortunate wo-
men and bootleggers.
This is the reason that the fallen
women who ply their trade on the
street with the familiar salutation of
hello, dear" will have to seek a place
elsewhere in some other location.
where the landlord is looking for
double or triple the rent that he gets
now for some old shack.
The City Prison.
The most beautiful building that is
being built in this neighborhood. and
which covers half a city block is the
city prison.
This building is being built on the
site Of what was formerly known as
the slave market, or in polite English
the state employment office.
The wage slaves who came here for
years to sell their labor power still
come to this rendezvous; / suppose
from force Of habit.
1t is more than possible that many
of these workers win be compelled to
visit this beautiful building in the
near future.
This is just guess, and a conting-
eney which we hope will not happen,
but economic conditions get worse
and the crowd on the street here In
creases from day to day. 1t looks as
IL this would be the outcome.

We are not informed what particular
business was benefited by the
princes presence, but venture to
guess that the liquor business did not
go down unless it went down Edward
P.'s throat. Anyhow it is interesting
to note that the DAILY WORKER
stated that the prince was travelling
as an imperial salesman. And it is a
poor salesman who does not boost his

QUITE rumpus was raised in the

was going on in parts of the British

pacifists, denied that the government
knew anything about such activity.
He said the league of nations was in
vestigating those rumors and the
league favored pitiless publicity. The
league is owned by Britain and nat
urally favors publicity for any wrong
doing that other nations are concerned
in, but it maintains a policy of sill
