French Gold Loan Fails
to Reach Minimum Set
After Intensive Drive

PARIS, France, Oct. 22.-The gold
loan which France expected to raise
has fallen far short of the quota. The
French government launched the loan
one month and half ago with the
intention of raising at least $4,000
100000 francs Isl, 100,0O0,0O0) and as
high as 100000 900 francs $780,
900, 0OO).
The loan was floated on a four per
cent gold basis, yet after its original
period Of one month to be raised
passed, the time allotted to fill the
quota was extended twice. In the en-
tire period France was only able to
raise 5000, 100000 francs (s300,OOO,
OOO) or just a little over one-fourth
of the minimum quota which she had
set.
The franc has dropped to the new
low of 2e.61 to the dollar, which is
the lowest level since Morgan stepped
in and saved France from bankruptcy
with his $100,000,000.
The cabinet fearing defeat in face
Of such a condition, has deferred the
opening Of parliament until October
20.

Fears RQkOSi Charges,

The refusal Of the state department
to permit Countess Catherine Karolyl
of Hungary to enter the United
States is directly connected with the
court-martial trials oflMathas Rakosi
and more than a hundred members
Of the independent socialist party OF
Hungary, and the attempts of the
Wall Street hackers of the Horthy
government to veil these procedures
with secrecy, declares James P. Can
non, secretary of the International
Labor Defense.
Countess Karolyi has been refused
a wise for her passport by the United
States consul of Paris by order of the
state department Countess Karolyi
is in no way connected with the revo-
lutionary or labor movements of Hun
gary, but is a representative of liberal
bourgeois elements who have been op-
posed to the Horthy martial law
regime.
The, International Labor Defense
has wired to Frank Kellogg, secre-
tary of state, pointing out that the re-
fusal to admit even the bourgeois OPP
ponents of the Horthy murder regime
to enter America, is proof of the fact
that the American hackers of the
Horthy regime are afraid to let the
American people know even slight
inkling of the actual state of affairs
in Hungary. The telegram signed by
James P. Cannon, secretary of the In
ternational Labor Defense, is as fol-
lows:
Frank Kellogg, Secretary of State,

"Today's issue Chicago Tribune
states Countess Karolyi, of Hungary

THE Horthy government maintains
itself against the will of the Hun

Matthias Rakosi and more than one
hundred members of the independent

fined in Horthy's torture chambers

Open Shop Taxi Boss
ID Tries Wage Cut But
Meets a Strike Call
BY WORKER CORRESPONDENT.

" Z
NEW YORK CITY, Oct. ga
strike to take effect at once was call
ed Monday by co nittee of drivers
of the Guardian raxi corporation
The strike is the result of a notice
to all drivers by the company that the
company will pay commission of 40
per cent to the drivers only if they
should book SIS week or better. I'm
til last week the company has been
paying 40 per cent to the drivers if
they had worked six days per week.
All those drivers that only worked
five days received onYy SO per cent.
The company is a new company in
this city and has been advertising for
drivers for the past three months.
They never were able to hold the driv-
ers because of the poor condition of
the cars. The cars are supposed to
be new, but many of the old timers in
the hacking game know differently.
The cabs are the rebuilt cabs that
were seized from the independent

The Guardian Taxi corporation is
financed by some large corporation
and one of it's main bosses Jesse Dom
ella. Donella has always been known
as a open shop boss. He was presi-
dent of the City Taxi Service in 1922,
when that company refused the de-
mands of the mogul checker drivers
for an increase in commission of five
per cent. The men went out on strike
and in less than two weeks they won.
Donella also was one of the bosses
of the Quaker Holding company. The
men on that job early this year went
out on strike for an increase in pay
from 35 to 40 per cent. The strike
lasted three hours and the men again
won. Donella was at one time gar
age superintendent of tae open shop

If the company does not give the
men the increase that the men de-

WOODEN MILL
WAGE CUTTING
STARTS STRIKE
Passaic Mill Workers
Begin Walkout

PASSAIC, N. J., Oct. 22.-The first
resistance to a program of cutting
wages in all the local mills was
shown when $50 workers walked out
of the Passaic Worsted Spinning COM
pany in strike against a ten per cent
wage cut, which the company refused
to rescind after protest.
Attack On Wages
The attack on wages has been made
on the workers of four plants previ-
ously, including the Botany Worsted
Mills, the Garfield Worsted Mills, the
Pitkin Worsted company and the Gera
Mills. Up to now the workers have
made no strike movement. But when
the Passaic Worsted Spinning COM
pany workers struck, the resistance
began. In an interview the strike
committee says:
Last Monday our committee ap-
peared before Mr.. Holdsworth and
told him that we were the poorest
paid mill in the city and therefore
it would work a hardship on us to
accept ten per cent decrease. He
told us he would take it up at meet
ing of the directors. At the time we
went out, all but the third floor spin
ming department went back to work
until this morning, to wait for an
answer.
This morning the answer came
at IL o'clock. 1t was to the effect
that the mill owners would have to
decrease our wages ten per cent. So
we simply put on our hats and coats
and walked out. The mill is closed
down this afternoon as the result.
Some Bobbin Throwing.
"The third floor spinners refused
to go out at first, but they finally
agreed to after we had gone up there
and there was some bobbin throwing
The foreman in that department was
hit on the head after careful aim by
one of the workers and he threaten
ed to turn the fire extinguisher ON us,
but he finally agreed to go out with
the rest of us We are determined
to stay out until we hear they will not
cut US ten per cent"

British Employers Try

BY J. LOUIS ENoDAHL.

TODAY meager news arrives of the opening Great Brit

The announcement is made by Labor Minister Sir Arthur

When the capitalist press in this country publishes this

As matter of fact at this distance it readily

the British Trade Union Congress- the American
Federation of Labor pointed out this fact with pride
Few backegs from the ranks of those who

solidarity with workers strike and join in the picket lines
OF the strikers
Under these conditions is difficult for the

It in this dilemma that the employers have evidently
fallen back their training centes for boys unemployed
boys whose minds can be poisoned with ingos, making
them pabe material to be moulded into strebreakers just

1t is nconceivabe that the products Of these training
centers could be of much in national Industrial up

these skebreakers could probably be useful in combating

Thus the British capitalists not interested in solving
the problem OF unemployment They find no solution
under capitalism they had the slightest desire to look
for it. Instead they trying the conditions grow

The organization Of these training is only
another confession by British employers their fears for
