French Negotiate
Debt Tangle with
the u. S. Government

PARIS, May 1.-THE sudden pop
ularity of Joseph Caillaux, French
finance minister, in the American cap
italist press, is attributed to his de-
cision to make immediate steps look
ing towards the solution of the debt
tangle with the United States.
Negotiations are scheduled to start
within fifteen days. BRAND and Call
laux are Of one mind on this question.
Callaux's reputation of the capital
levy made a great hit with Wall
Street, which is now satisfied that
Caillaux is constructive statesman
and a wholesome patriot.
Washington is known to be graft
fed with the new developments in
the financial relations between the
United States and France. British d.
plomats are not so satisfied, looking
on this move by Caillaux as part Of
his anti-British policy.

zANKOV MURDER
JUNTA PREP ARES
PUBLIC HANGING
Building Scafold in the
Public Square
Especial to The Daily worker)

VIENNA, May IA The Zankoy
hangmen are literally living up to the
title bestowed on them by the out
ragged workers and peasants of Bull
garia and by the class conscious work
ers of the world. A public seaffold is
being erected in the streets of Sofia
so that the populace can be impress
ed by the spectacle of seeing three
men bangle from rope for alleged
completely in the bomb explosion.
No effort was made by the court or
the prosecution to prove the con-
demned men guilty. Victims were
wanted and those three served the
purpose. One of the three sentenced
to death is priest, but the bourgeois
press which went into Mysteries over
the execution of the Polish spy Butch
avitch, by the Soviet government, has
no word of condemnation for the ju-
dicial murder of Peter zadgorsky, the
Bulgarian priest whose opposition to
the hangman, zankov brought him to
the gallows.

VIENNA, May 14.-U. r. A.)--Mem-
bers of the Communist Party Of Bull

in Sofia that sentenced eight to death
for the explosion of a bomb in SvetI

Of the present military dictatorship.
The exiles arc of the opinion that
the complete blame for the disaster

ISSUE IN Nova
SCOTIA STRIKE
Canadian Communists
for Mass PicketS

TORONTO, Ontario, Canada, May
14.-The Communist Party Of Canada
has issued the following appeal to the
striking Nova Scotia coal miners to
picket the mines more energeticaIIy
and make the strike 100 per cent ef-
fectiVe. The statement says:-
1T is becoming tragic thing for
the class conscious to watch the way
matters are going in Nova Scotia.
at makes ones heart bleed to real
ize how conscious the capitalist ele-
ments are of what they are doing to
break the strike, how cunningly they
are exploiting it for their own ends
and then to have to watch Mcleod
trailing around in the wake of these
treacherous elements while they are
laughing at him up their sleeves.
Union Officials Allow scabs
For nine weeks there is supposed
to have been a one hundred per cent
strike in Nova Scotia. The convention
of the miners had decided on one
hundred per cent strike. A hundred
per cent strike means that every
piece of labor is withdrawn. 1t means
that the maintenance men are with
drawn and the corporation property
can go where the corporation consigns
the men in a strike-to hell!
mo wonder when the labor be-
trayor Lewis appeared on the scene
he asked Mcleod what this one hun
dred per cent strike was, anyway. The
union maintenance men have been
withdrawn but the Mcleod executive
has peacefully allowed the corpora
ton to maintain its own stats and

UNEMP LOYMENT

FIGURES SHOW
10000 Lost Jobs in New
York and Illinois
tspeeIaI 70 The naIIy workerl

Fourteen thousand workers were
added to the ranks of the unemployed
workers in Illinois alone during April,
the report just issued by the Illinois
department Of labor declares, and
twenty-five thousand were thrown out
of work in New York state. Industry
took decided slump, according to the
report, reaching the lowest level since
April 1929.
The report declares:
"The middle of spring finds business
on the down-grade in Illinois. With
out sufficient orders to justify them in
maintaining their working forces in
tact, Illinois employers continued to
lay off help during April so that by
the middle Of the month there were
fewer people in gainful employment
in the factories of the state than at
any time during the current year.
Ten Per Cent Below 1924.
'1,1S6 manufacturers, who normal
~ employ 40 per cent Of the factory
workers Of the state, had on the pay
roll of the middle of April, S0.27s
workers which was drop Of per
cent in the number the identical en-
ployers had for the same week in
March.
This decline, following one of like
extent during March, deprecated en-
ployment by 81 per cent from the
level Of February. About IA 900 work
ers have been added to the ranks of
the unemployed as result. The state
Of industry at this time, while slightly
above that of April, 1922, is about 10
per cent below that of a year ago,

is announced by the Chicago building

the big McLennan Construction Co.
Job on the new commission market at

complete so far as unions affiliated
with the council are concerned, but
the carpenters, who still remain out
side the building trades department Of

not come within the view Of the local
council.
Cement mixers and building labor
ers, hitherto non-union, will now affi-
late with the bod carriers and build

want to keep their jobs. Union iron
workers, bricklayers, plasterers, tile

trades council.

EMPLOYERS and representatives
Gof labor met together recently in
New York under the auspices Of the
National Civic Federation. The OBJ
ject of the conference was to discuss
the question of waste in industry.
William Green was there and the
Seattle Union Record gloats over the
fact that Green sat with cabinet Of
fciaIs and representatives of great
employing interests" The conferees
agreed that lots of energy is wasted
in industry as it is now run. So do
we, But we assert that the workers
have no interest in solving the prob
lem of industrial efficiency so long
as the capitalists get the benefit Of
ID
IITHAT the workers should worry
w about under capitalism is get
ting as much OF the product of their
toll from the capitalists as is pos
sible and preparing the way for the
taking over of industry and getting
all the fruits of industry minus that
portion necessary to run the govern
ment and reproduce machinery, or in
other words, minus the overhead that
the capitalist now pays out of his
share of the dollar produced by la
Dor. This share according to United
States government report is approx
mately SO cents
ILTILLIAM GREEN would be spend
w ing the time for which the or
ganized workers of the United States
are paying him for, if he devoted it
to organizing the workers instead Of
confabbing with the employers as to
the best method of getting more work
out Of the hide of the membership Of
the American Federation Of Labor.
When the workers get together with
the boss to check waste, produce
more and increase the efficiency of a
particular industry, what happens is
that the boss finds he can get along
with less help and the army of the
unemployed gets new recruits.
TIME workers of Soviet Russia are
Il interested in the elimination of
waste and properly so. Nationalized
industry in Russia is owned by the
workers thru their government,
which they control and run. AS pro-
duction increases so does the com
pensation of the workers. A Stacker
in Russia today is an object of scorn,
the same scorn that should be eheaped
on the worker in capitalist country
who acts as pacemaker to the rest
of his fellow workers in order to make
