GtyAuthorities and Street Cleaners

The strike of the $500 Chicago street cleaners
and garbage department workers whose tasks are
of the greatest value to the whole community, dis
Closes as strikes of workers engaged in work of this
kind usually do the low wages paid for this hard,
unpleasant and in many cases dangerous toll.
The wages of the great majority of these men
are less than $50 per week and they are asking an
increase of about fifty cents per day.
The city authorities claim that they were not
notified of the intentoRof the union to strike and
hope that this is true. 1t it is it indicates that
some progress is being made in an industry where
prolonged negotiations which allow the authorities
to make full preparations to break the strike are
the rule.
The statements of city officials published by the
capitalist press mention the number of unskilled
workers available and covertly threaten the en-
ployment of scabs with the additional information
calculated to line up the little taxpayers against
the striking workers, to the effect that the wage
raise asked would cost the city 100000 per year.
A city which can afford to turn out its police
and fire departments to greet the representative
OF the pope and labor haters like Brigadier-G Gen
eral Dawes, not to mention the dozens of other
class enemies of the workers for whom welcomes
have been staged, can easily afford to give the
very moderate increase asked by the workers whose
job is to the lives of the population by keep
ing the city clean.
This is the time for the workers in the sanitary
department of the city of Chicago to make their
Importance felt.
Let the stink of garbage filter all thru the lux
urious apartments and homes of the Chicago rich
who look upon garbageman as the lowest thing
in creation.

More Evidence Of Stability

Two events of major Importance feature the news
from Europe. 80
First the deportation of Germans and the con-
fscahon of German property by Roumania, actions
that are usually understood to mean declara-
ton of war.
Second, the friction between the Polish govern
ment and the vatican.
These two events are the most eloquent testimony
possible to the growing chaos of European political
affairs a chaos that cannot be concealed by labored
optimism of the imperialist press and which coin
cides with the end of the period of social pacinsm
Roumania and Poland are both tied to the
chariot wheels of French Imperialism. Poland,
altho nominally catholic country, is forced to
make concessions to the anti-cerical policy Of the
Herriot government and thus skaters the dream
of the catholic church of catholic state in central
Europe to replace the vanished stro-Hungarian
empire.
Roumania has in all probability been induced
not hard task-to take the offensive against Ger
many as a reminder to the weak German govern
ment that the bandit band of French Imperialism
is on the job in the event Of default on reparation
payments
Great Britain, who wants and needs stability in
western Europe, looks jealously at these evidences
of French influence. She takes them-and rightly

H|NDOO REBEL
is DEPORTED
BY HERRIOT
France Took Orders from
} Britain

PARIS, Feb. 4. (By Mail.)-The en-.
pulsion Of M. N. Roy, the Indian Com.
munist leader, from France is the lat
est example of the cooperation Of the
political secret police Of different
countries.
Before the war 1t was the czarish
okhrana which, thanks to the Franco
Russian alliance, was allowed to main-
tain an Office and agents In Paris for
the watching and marrying Of polit.
ical refugees.
Since the war 1t is the British govs
ernment which has adopted this prac,
tice. It is a fact not generally known,
but none the less a fact, that an in.
spector of the special political branch
of Scotland Yard is permanently sta
toned in Paris, where his agents SPY
on any persons or institutions dis
approved by heads of the secret SER
vice.
Roy's Career.
Roy has previously been victim Of
the same cooperation. From his an
rival in Europe from America in 1920
he resided chiefly in Berlin. But
at the end of 1923 the Prussian chief
of police, at the request Of Scotland
Yard, ordered his arrest.
He succeeded, however, in escaping
to Switzerland, where he remained
until last summer, when, trusting that
an exile would be in safety under q
radical government, he moved to
Paris.
But in December Mr.. Chamberlain
went to Paris and discussed many
matters with the French premier. And
on January an expulsion order was
made against Roy by the French
minister Of the interior, without any
reason being assigned. The sequence
can scarcely be coincidental.
The order issued was only carried
out on January 80, when he was ar
rested and conducted to the frontier
without even being allowed to see his
lawyer. Presumably it took Inspector
Barron and his French colleagues
nearly month to find their man.
Efficiency in such matters has never
been the Yards strong suit.
1t is reported in Paris that other
Indians obnoxious to the British gov
eminent are to be similarly dealt with.
Mrs. Roy to Go.
Mrs. Roy was arrested at the sama
time as her husband, and released
after his departure. Her deportation
lis expected to follow.
This is the lady referred to with
such exquisite courtesy by the chief
justice in the Cawnpore trial as "a
woman believed to be Of American ma
tionality, and calling herself Evelyn
Roy, and is understood to be his WIFE,"
Mrs. Roy is, in fact, the daughter
OF the famous American pacifist, DR..
David Starr Jordan, and was married
to Roy in California nine years ago.

BY THUReER LEWIS

THE modest advances made by or
ganized labor up to 1857 were al
most totally destroyed by the panic
Of that year. 1t was necessary to be-
gin all over again. One Of the saving
graces of the panic and strikes Of
1857 was that it gave the American
labor movement its first great leader
William H. Sylvis.
Sylvis was born in 1928, in Penn
sylvania. He was early apprenticed
in foundry and later became a jour
neyman moulder. A strike in the
foundry in which he worked in 1857
in Philadelphia and the desperate
conditions of his trade, threw him en-
ergetically and intellectually into
the movement of the workers.
Largely as a result of Sylvis' en-
thusiastic work for organization of
the moulders on a national scale. a
national convention representing
twelve local unions met in 1859.
With Sylvia as national treasurer the
Moulders' Union counted forty-four
locals by 1861.
During that same year the rumbl-
ings of civil war caused Sylvia and
his friends to start ON a campaign of
propaganda against the impending
fratricidal conflict. The agitation be-
came great enuf to call a national
convention of workingmen's- repre-
sentatives in February, 1861 over
which Sylvia presided. Resolutions
were passed and plans laid for oppos-
ing the coming war. However, when
the first shot was fired on Fort Sum-
ter on April IL, the agitation ceased
and whole local unions answered the
call of President Lincoln.
Despite the war, the Moulders' I'm
ion continued stronger every year
Sylvis became imbued with the idea
Of cooperation. In 1867 under his
leadership the moulders began the or
ganization of cooperative foundries.
The convention of 1868 changed the

BARONS
CUTTING WAGES
THRU BAY STATE
Workers Get Publicity
Instead of Wages
BY A. ALDEN.

EASTHAMPTON, Mass, Feb. 49,
In line with other textile mills Of New
England, the largest cotton mill Of
this town, the West Boylston Mfg. Co.,
has cut wages 10 per cent.
In normal times this mill employs
over 5000. At present it runs on a
so per cent basis. d
The workers pre greatly discon-
tented and grumblings are heard on
every side, but as this mill is a scab
mill, they can't do. anything. In fact
all the mills in this town such as the
Glendale Elastic Fabric Co., Cotton
Mfg. Co., Hampton Mills, etc, are all
scab mills.
The only strike this town has ever
witnessed was in 1918 at the West
Boylston Mfg. Co. The U. M. w.
Local was organised, but due to poor
leadership on the part Of union or
ganizers, the strikers were defeated
and soon after the U. M. Of A. Local
also died.
The present wages Of male workers
here are $1,000 to $3.50; female, $500
to S15.45.
Some Of the inspecting and ship
ping departments have regular school
systems to speed up work. The girls
on burling (cloth inspecting) that In
spect most yards per week get their
names put on the mill bulletin. The
girl that has the largest number of
yards inspected gets a gold (paper)
star opposite her name. The girls who
burl less have their names on the
poor workers list. In dull times these
are the first ones to be laid off.
The West Boylston Mfg. Co. and
Hampton Mills own quite large num-
Der Of houses in this town. They are
rented to their respective employees
only. Rent is taken out of pay en-
velopes weekly.

In 1859 there were rumors of war
between England and the United

a memorial to Sylvis urging the COOP

Our cause is common one. It is
war between poverty and wealth.
This monied power is fast eating up
the substance of the people. We have
made war upon it and we mean to
win it. If we can, we will win thru
the ballot box; if not, then we shall
