Criminal Negligence

ALBANY, N. Y.-(FP) Workers in
woodworking factories could be saved
many fingers and serious injuries If
their employers provided them with
better workplaces, analysis of wood
working accidents by the New York
state labor department shows. The
study of accidents in 800 factories en-

in the industry proves again that the
percentage of permanent injuries is
higher than in any other industry.
Most of the accidents we're amputa-

is only one machine in industry on
which more accidents occur than the
circular saw and that is the power

JAP ANESE LABOR
GETS Low WAGES
FOR LONG HOURS

If you knew that thousands OF work
ers in your trade were being exploited
IL hours day for wages averaging
Tess than Sc a month. and that this
was leaving you only partly employed,
wouldn't you do something about IL?
II you found that these workers were
organizing to free themselves from
this slavery wouldn't you make COM
mon cause with them?
That's how the case for world trade
union unity presents itself to British
trade unions. Figures recently issued
by the Japan Cotton Spinners Assn.
show good ground for such action.
They show the huge expansion Of
the Japanese textile industry and the
rapid gains of Japan in the world
cotton cloth market, all based on
wages that would hardly feed horse
here.
Average Japanese wages on a
yearly basis appear so low when
translated into American money that
they might easily be mistaken for the
monthly wages of an unskilled laborer
or the weekly wages of a skilled
tradesman in this country. The
figures for male and female employees
in the spinning mills are:

the proletariat into the field as the
definite revolutionary force destined
to overthrow czarism. With this has
been combined the welcome to Gitlow
and the celebration of his release from
prison as a response to the demands
of the working class.
