Our Readers Views
Finds Food for Thought

To the DAILY WORKER; The
statement OF Harrison George IN May
16, special Magazine Supplement-
about the 129 millions balance of
trade in favor of Russia for 1924
speaks volumes. 1t is my apprehen-
sion, that the Saturday Supplement
is not studied enough by readers and
party members. Am correct7 II SO
It might be best to have same reprint
ed in some daily issue It Is a wonder
full record. Who would ever think that
such a set OF dreamers, so-called
quarrelers and trouble makers, could
run a country with q Heterogeneous
body, conglomeration Of SO many
nationalities so successfully at q close
of protracted civil war, and having
the whole capitalist world as its
enemy
In 1928 already her railroads were
run much better than PoIand's. The
latter country was backed by France
England and America. At the same
time these three countries were try
ing hard to stab Russia in the back.
AS an instance will say that at War
saw, Poland, no hotel room was OBJ
tainable without paying a tip or a
bribe in advance. This was IN 1878.
In looking for a room al a hotel op-
posite the Vienna Depot, learned,
that the hotel was occupied By the
French military. Willany American
citizen answer the question what are
they doing there. In entering the
diner on the way from Warsaw to
Prague, one heard mostly French spo-
ken, hardly any Polish. With all that
they could not balance their own bud
get. But Russia did. France has not
done II as yet in spite OF her loans
obtained. Germany Is balancing her
budget since she received her loan
Qf l am correct). Austria Is still
bankrupt and so are most Of capital
ist European countries. But Russia
like a poor energetic business men is
honestly working hard, paying her
debts, sending her children 10 schools,
feeding and nursing them well, study
ing how to improve conditions for the
laborer in the factory, giving the
laborer a vacation with pay and build
ing up home for the whole nation.
We Americans have a lot to learn
from those ignorant peasants. We
progressiyes can benefit by studying
her ways Of action as have the biolo-
gists learned by studying the ANTS and
Bees. Let us all aid in spreading true
reports OF Russian progress with
every means possible at our command.

Baby Farm Infant Was
Sold to Woman for SIS

NEW YORK, May 24.-The Giesen-
volk baby farm case took new turn
today when 1t was learned from the
district attorneys office that a baby
from the infantorium was sold to the
wife of a New York clothing manu-
facturer for $75 This wife. Mrs. Nat
Bass, confessed to the police that she
took the few days old infant beside
her in bed in Mrs. Geisen-Volk's in
fantorium, in the desire to make her
husband believe 1t was their own.
Now, eight months since the decep-
ton was carried out, with the baby
farm" Investigations getting closer
to the exposure Of her plot and fear
ing the police Mrs. Bass confessed to
her husband that their son, Nat Mar
tin Bass, was not their own. So far
it was not learned whose child it is
and the infant has been put in charge
of the Children's Society since the
husband could not be induced to keep
tho child after learning that it was
not his own.

YOUTH ARMED IN
SCHOOLS BY CAL
TO TRAIN SCABS
Militarize u. S. to Break
Strikes

NEW YORK, May "a Industrial
troubles" Is one Of the reasons Sec
retary of War John Weeks, cites to
support compulsory military training
in schools, asserts Brent Dow Allison,
secretary national students forum.
Allison is one Of an investigating
committee representing various youth
and peace organizations which plans
70 call a conference next month to
seek action on what Allison calls the
conspiracy of the war department
TO put over compulsory military train
ing without having to go to congress
for law"
Z. Weeks statement that compulsory
military training is necessary because
of possible Industrial troubles is con-
tanned in letter of which the COM
mittee has copy. About 10000 sec
ondary schools and 675 universities
and colleges in the country, Allison
estimates, now have military train
ing. In many 1t is compulsory for
degrees. In some universities and col
ieges the second two years, non-com-
pulsory, is paid for at soldiers wages
Full details of the giant conspiracy
TO militarize the youth of the coun-
try, Rcoustom them to war psychology
and standardise thinking will be made
public at the conference of interested
organizations and action against the
conspiracy sought Allison believes
that the situation now is worse than
before the last war, with the draft law
merely suspended and the espionage
che decision.
The conference on youth and war
IN which 22 national organizations
participated made clear that large
body Of the nations young people
do not want war. Conservative, liber-
al and radical organizations of all
shades Joined in the conference in
rapping the citizens military train
ing camps and in resolving to push
peace education in schools.

MONESSEN, A
STEEL TRUST
HE'LL TOWN
Business Dependent on
Steel Barons
BY sANDE, Worker Correspondent.


PITTSBURGH, Pa, May "a. - Mo-
nessen is one Of many steel towns.
in western Pennsylvania, which is
owned and controlled by the steel
trust as ell steel towns are. It is To-
Gated on the Monongahela, about as
miles from Pittsburgh. No unions of
any kind exist in this dump for union
ism is heresy here. It's principal
workshops (hell-holes) are a seam
less tube mill, steel mill, a tin mill
and a foundry.
The three banks in Monessen are
owned by the different mills so that
even the workers meager savings are
used by the bosses.
A Gang of Rabbits.
1t has a board of trade. composed
Of shyster business men and officials
of the steel mills. This body does
everything in its power to keep the
workers in ignorance by preaching
the usual capitalist bunk of thrift.
work hard and above all, buy in Mo-
nessen."
This gang Of Rabbits were taught
a severe lesson after the 1919 steel
strike when the workers boycotted
the stores in Monessen for the part
the business men played in refusing
to let the strikers hold meetings.
Look at This Speakers List.
When this gang holds a banquet
each year they search the country
for the biterest enemies Of the work
ing class and pay him to speak. At
it's four banQuets it listened to the
vomit of Secretary of Labor Davis,
tn enemy Of the foreign-born work
ers; Ex-Governor Allen Of Kansas
Anti-Strike court fame" the man
Alex Howat licked; "Bill' Taft, labor
hater and chief justice of the su-
preme court, and ex-President Hard
ing, the trikebreaking president.
The mayor is former official of the
Pittsburgh Steel company and at pres
ent is a real estate shark. In his cleo
tion he was supported by the steel
bosses and he in return is a very
obedient servant in carrying out the
anti-labor policy of the steel inter
ests.

Coolidge Jealous
of influence of
Soviet in Far East

MOSCoW,-(By MaiD 1T is re-
ported from London that the situation
in the Far East is drawing ever keen
or attention among the official circles
of the United States 1t is said that
the British ambassador at Washing
ton has been charged to confer with
President Coolidge and Secretary of
State Kellogg on the question of So
viet-Chinese and Soviet-Japanese rela-
tions.
1t is again being mentioned, in this
reference, that before leaving London
on HIS way to the United States, Mr..
Kellogg had an important meeting with
Mr.. Chamberlain, British foreign Sc
cretary who urged the necessity of a
common Chinese policy of England
and the United States.
1t appears to be ascertained that in
asmuch as the official reports which
have reached the state department
from Peking and Tokyo dwelt with
emphasis on the growing influence of
thu yoviet Union in the Far East. such
reports have caused a great deal OF
anxiety in the American administra-
tion.
On the other hand, ever since the
conclusion Of the recent Soviet-Japan-
ese treaty, Senator Borah and his
friends have been consistently urging
that the best way of solutioning the
Far Eastern problems was to recogn-
ize the Soviet Union without any fur
ther delay

Connecticut Boss in
Legislative Clover

HARTFORD, Conn, May 24.--J.
Henry Roraback, already known to
DAILY WORKER readers as the poll
tical boss of Connecticut who engi-
neered the crushing defeat Of the
child labor amendment In the state
legislature, is showing how disinter-
ested capitalist politicians are.
His name is mentioned In senate
bill $50 as one Of the three incorpora-
tors, OF the Connecticut Electric Ser
vice Co., the others being Randall Nor
gan, Philadelphia capitalist, and
William P. Putnam, a Hartford Sc
curities broker. The bill Is proceed
ing merrily thru the legislative mill,
already having received the blessing
of the senate committee on ineorpora-
ton.
Electrical Monopoly.
The Connecticut Electric servioe
company under the proposed bin,
would have the right within and with
out the state, to purchase, lease or
otherwise acquires electricity and its
products, including light heat and
power" and to sell service to other
electric companies, street railway
companies, individuals, etc.
1t is a blanket franchise TO act as
an electric company, or as an inter
mediary, compelling all other com
panies to pay tribute to it for power
coming from outside the state. The
company is authorized to start with
$4,000 subscribed capital.

Great Enthusiasm
in Pittsburgh for
the World Language

PITTSBURGH, Pa.-About seventy
comrades enjoyed the most unique af-
fair ever held in our movement in
America, Communist lido banquet.
On the walls of the Greek Hall several
signs were hanging with appropriate
text, such as Workers of the World
Unite, said Karl Marx" 'In order
to unite we must understand each
other" adds the Communist lido Fed
GRAFTON. Correspond with comrades
in every country by means of lido.
Korespondez kun kamaradi en- omna
landi per Ido." Read lido Is min.
every day. Lektez lido Is min, omn-
adie," etc.
The chairman, Com. Careathers, op-
ened the banquet, with a few words
explaining the world language idea,
pointing out, that the diversity Of Ian
guage is one Of the props that support
the capitalist system and that this
movement aims to abolish the same.
Thereafter he announced that prob
ably for the first time in America
"Ths international" was to be sung in
lido by a group of singers. The audi
ence rose, while the well-known air
combined with the clear lido words
filed the hall. The last words of the
refrain, lH
Frat, audex la signalo
Laste brave kombatar,
La Internacionalo
Sucesos parvinkar.
were followed by a laundering ap-
plause.
The chairman then remarked, that
among other objections, it is some
times claimed, that an artificial lam
guase can not be spoken. In order to
give the audience an opportunity to
Judge for itself, he introduced the lido
speaker, Com. A. Rostrom. With
greatest attention and with an air of
surprise the audience listened to the
speaker, who for fifteen minutes spoke
quite fluently in this so-called "artifi-
cial" language.
After a talk in English by Careath-
ers ten minutes speeches followed in
Croatian, Finnish, Greek, Italian and
Jewish. The speakers who are all
well known party members explained
the need of world language in our
movement.
A song was given by some Italian
comrades, in their mother tongue.
Another attractive point on the pro-
gram was q song in Greek and "a In
ternacionalo" Qn Idol by a small
nine-year old boy. A resolution on
the world language question was also
adopted.
After the banquet the present men,
bers Of the lido group had a picture
taken. During the whole evening a
wonderful spirit OF comradeship pre-
vailed.--James Sifakls.

MOSCOW, May 24.-It is officially
announced that certain apprehensions
which had existed as to the partial

tunately proved to be unjustified, it
being actually ascertained that, with
the exception of a few districts in
the lower basin Of the Volga, the gen.
eral condition Of the winter crops is

per cent OF the anthracite tonnage"
He could then restrict production un.
til high prices made huge profits on
the investment Of the wealthy owners.
Good Time to clean Up
Financiers now consider the soft
coal industry ripe for similar consoli-
dations. Says Paul Wooton in Coal
Age, another trade journal Property
values in coal have been liquidated to
the vanishing point. Sometime during
the present depression there will be
a low point Consultations made at
that low point would have an early
chance to profit as values recover"
The Pittsburgh Coal Co., the largest
consolidation in the field, has closed
its last union mine. It's union mines
normally employ about 10000 men,
These are now idle.
Out To Cut Wages
This move is avowedly an attempt
to starve the miners into submission
Letters sent to the miners and the
local nespapers by Vice President
Dodson, appointed to do the dirty
work for the Mellon brothers, state
definitely that the company is "endea-
voring to bring about change in con-
ditions" and that it thinks the Nov
ember 1917 wage scale would go
long way towards giving the men
steadier work and higher earnings.
This would mean a reduction of about
one-third in the union scale.
Pittsburgh coal men express sur
prise at the way the miners are hold
ing out. For the past months opera
tions in the district have been below
one-third full-time. For the past coal
year they have been little better than
one-third of full-time. "1n the circum-
stances" says the Black Diamond cor
respondent, 'it seems strange that
there has not been more unrest. The
operators feel that the miners have
had an object lesson that should be
convincing as to the lmpractlcabillty
of the high union scale, but just what
they do think is another matter"
cold-5looded About It
Looking into Ohio the secretary of
the Pittsburgh Vein Operators Asso-
citation speaks with satisfaction of the
progress of the hunger cure in that
state "Ohio Miners he says, are
standing with their backs to the wall.
When a man grows hungry and his
children cry for proper nourishment it
is only natural that something must
happen. 1t has been clearly demon
strated that the central competitive
field cannot successfully compete with
the nonunion fields of West Virginia
and Kentucky"
Out of 140 mines in Eastern Ohio
about so are operating, many of them
only one or two days a week. Summer
prospects for Central Ohio are that
five out of 30 mines will operate. Pro
duction in Southern Ohio is estimated
at around 13 to Is per cent of normal.
