MORGAN TO TAKE
SHINES Group
after CRISIS
Calls Loans; German
Industries on Rocks
lspsaIaI . The naIIy VOICE

Especial TO The Daily Worler)
BERLIN, Germany, June 1o.,--The
Shines group of industries faces cois
lapse due to the failure Of Hugo stin-
mes, IT,, to secure a further loan from
J. p. Morgan during his recent visit
to the United States. This was re-
veaied when the Relohsbank and
other leading banks called a eonfeR
ence to confer on the impending fin
ancial crisis in the SHINES ldustries.
The SHINES industries, including
coal mines, steel mills, iron mines
newspapers and other properties and
factories, face the payment Of liabili-
ties amounting to $25,00O,000, mostly
due to the ]. P. Morgan company in
payment Of short term loans.
Morgan has refused further loans,
because his banking syndicate feels it
can gain complete control Of the en-
tire group by forcing the crisis and
entering into the reorganization Of the
companies.
The bourse reflected the shalzy fin
ancial condition OF the SHINES indus
tries, sharp declines occurring in min
ing and other industrial securities.
The same difficulties confront many
other German industries. The world
powers continue to drive Garmany out
of the world markets, and a general
economic collapse is predicted, to be
followed by foreign control Of all the
large German industries.
One of the clauses in the allied note
to Germany orders the destruction Of
the Krupp nitrate tube lathes on
which it is declared rifles might be
turned This hits the German indus
trialists particularly hard. as their in
dustries would be destroyed just at
the time when PREPARATION payments
are demanded under the Dawes plan,
and when an economic crisis is at
hand The Krupps are now negotiat-
ing for loan from the J. P. Morgan
banking syndicate, and fear that this
too will be denied.
The Hindenburg government is ex-
pected to answer the demand for fur

Worker TO the Rescue.
Another worker who was close to
him when he fell, ran to him crying
for help at the same time. When the
boss came up the workman who had
come to the rescue Of the suffering
man told the boss TO order an ambu-
lance.
In a few minutes heavy delivery
truck drove up and the boss commenc-
ed TO gather up old rags and burlap
to make bed for the sufferer on the

what are SO more lives blown out
of the industry, 100000 too many
miners now; freeze them out, starve
them out" ]. ]. Lewis practically
says, they must be got rid Of, as
there is no hope with the mines so
overcrowded, and 1t seems we can
add another method of getting rid Of
them by blowing them out.
How Long7
The toll of human lives to gas ex-
plosions is appalling, and with the
sacrifice ever mounting higher, with
the blame, time and time again, placed
on the coal operators, yet no criminal
action against them, no death or jail
sentences against them, we stop to
ask how much longer are we going
to offer our bodies to be sacrificed on
the cross Of mammon, to enrich the
parasitic coal operators who refuse to
have their mines properly ventilated
these terrible gas explosions with
their awful toll of human lives and
suffering?
1t is reported the explosion wrecked
the entrance to the mine thereby
leaving the men with no means of
escape, and the main explosion was
followed by many minor ones, and
those not killed outright were suffo-
Gated by the afterdamp.
Explosions Preventable.
Nine times out Of ten these explos-
ions could have been prevented by a
few dollars expended in cleaning up
the air-ways, cleaning the falls that
have blocked the passage Of air, clean
ing the roadwyas that are generally
covered with coal dust, the expense of
watering the roadways or the sprink-
ling Of rock dust This calls for the
expense Of few dollars that the op-
orators feel they can save by taking
chances on the lives Of the miners,
which, if snuffed out by explosions,
don't amount to much in view Of the
fact that there are 100000 surplus
ones to take their places.
Rescue apparatus rushed to the
scene after the explosion was success
full after four days of effort in return
ing SO blackened, torn and crushed
corpses to their wretched, distracted
and starving families.
A rich reward for a faithful and
useful life of toll in the bowels Of

At best the life of the coal miner
is extremely hard, disagreeable and
dangerous. From the moment he
leaves the surface until he returns,
he courts all the dangers imaginable;

gas, sulphurated hydrogen, water
damp working places, and the 100 diff
ferent diseases arising from his en-
ployment.
Flight Both Death and Capitalism.
Coupled to that, the continuous
struggle for a mere living, with the
fight ever growing more intense, with
the capitalist class lined up solidly
against the GOLFERS and the treason
of the miners officials themselves
have indeed made the lives of the
coal diggers truly pitiable one, and
the wonder is that the slaves of the
pits have not revolted against that
condition long ago.
AS usual, the dear public sent their
messages of ympathy-sympathy to
wife or mother standing at the pit
mouth waiting for news of their
loved ones, sympathy to the little
ones crying for their dad in that hell
filled chamber of deadly afterdamp,
sympathy to the starving dependents
of the torured slaves imprisoned in
the poisoned hole whom they would
see no more!
An Insult.
Such sympathy is deadly insult,
as poisonous as the four afterdamp
itself, from those people who will not
dare to cry out in protest against
such condition that permitted such
damnable and preventable explosions
to occur.
And what are the labor leaders do
ing now in this trying period? Mes
sages of sympathy, also. Every labor
leader in this country has a duty to
perform in this case that requires i'm
mediate action.
Need Mass Protest.
Mass meetings ought to be called to
protest against this outrage and a
campaign carried on thruout the coun-
try that will result in the elimination
of the conditions that have permitted
this awful blight to occur ony too
often in the coal mining industry.
The suffering, as usual, is intense,
and living conditions are a disgrace
to the country. This field is one of
the unorganized parts of the indus
try and the wages are at bed rock. no
working conditions to mention, with
long hours, and a system bordering
chattel slavery in existence.
What viii Union leaders Do?
Will the labor leaders and authori-
ties rise to this occasion and demand
public inquiry, and that criminal
action be taken against the coal OPP
orators if found guilty of violation Of
the mining laws? Or will they as
usual pass it by? AS it is only few
of the 100000 too many coal diggers
slaves of the mines.

ROME, June 10. The Aventine

SUPERTRUSTS

Federated Press STAFF Correspondent
WAsHlNeToN,-(FP)-scarcely a

ed the decision Of the federal supreme
court-wlth Chief Justice Taft and
Justices MeReynods and Sanford dis
sentlna-thst trade associations may
legally distribute information among
members as to costs, prices, volume
of production, stocks on hand, and
other elements that enable the mem
bers to fix prices and Insure high pro-
fits. Yet here emerges the super-trust,
no longer a sinking outlaw but a re-
spectacle and authoritative business
institution, empowered to levy new
taxes on the nation.
Lower Courts Overturned
1t was the Maple Flooring Manu-
lecturers Association and the Cement
Manufacturers Protective Association
that appealed to the final court, after
they had been declared by lower
courts to be violators OF the antitrust
law.
The majority opinion holds that
there is no unlawful restrain of COM
merce when manufacturers in any in
dustry get together and discuss, and
exchange detailed information on, the
amount Of their product that is de-
manded, the amount on hand, the
amount they can produce, the cost of
production under various conditions,
and so forth. Time after time the
federal trade commission has shown
that this exchange of information
was in fact the operation of a check
upon production, designed to keep sup
ply below demand and thereby to
create artiflcially high prices and pro-
fits. In the production of building
materials II has resulted in an arti-
fetal increase in costs of construction,
which has been passed on to rents,
ranging from % to 100 per cent ac-
cording to circumstances.

Justice Stone, recent attorney gen.
eral, in delivering the majority OPT

the U. s. chamber of commerce all

consequent effect in stabilizing pro
duction and price, can hardly be
deemed a restraint of commerce.
McReynolds, in reply, asserted that

whipping the steel industry into line
for its fabulous rakeoff.
Competition gives way to a sQueez-
ing process, both against the consul
mer and against the small manufac-
turer, until an inner ring of the most
powerfully financed concerns in each
industry dominates the field. The
dislocation of employment which may
result from this process is evident
and promises to be painful.

CROUCH and
TRUMBULL IN
FURTHER FIGHT
Aid Asked to Obtain
Complete Freedom
Especial to The Daily wOrkor)


HONOLULU, May 27.-(5y MaiD-
As result of the efforts Of Judge
Matthewman, former attorney-general
Of the territory, who was retained by
the American Civil Liberties Union,
the sentences of Privates Crouch and
TrumbulI, Communist soldiers con-
victed by court-martiaI on charges of
organizing a secret Communist league,
were reduced from 40 years and &c
years respectively, to 8 years and
year.
Matthewman made preliminary in
vestigation of the cases at the in
stance of the local representative Of
the Civil Liberties Union and present
ed arguments to the army officials
which are believed to have been the
cause of the reduction of sentence re-
ported.
Errors Should NuIify Sentences
Members of the local defense group
did not feel that mere clemency on
the part of the army authorities was
sufficient and decided to continue the
fight for the liberation of these prison
ers of conscience. Due to Judge Mat
thewman's unexpected visit to the
states It became necessary to engage
a substitute, and Attorney Fred Pat
terson, former assistant United States
district attorney for Hawaii, was Sc
lected.
Copies of the transcripts of the pro-
cedings of the court-martial trials
were secured from the prisoners and
a thorough study and analysis made
with a view to appealing to the civil
courts. The records of the cases re-
veal so many errors and Irregularities
that it is believed the entire proceed
ings would be nullified if brought into
a regular court.
No Law Whatever Was Violated
Analysis of the charges, specifica-
lions and records show conclusively
that no law or military regulation was
violated by the accused. The acts
charged do not in themselves consti-
tute offenses under the civil or the
military law.
The stool pigeon Fisher was the
only witness against the accused, and
his testimony was not corroborated,
and it contradicted itself. No attempt
was made to prove the specific charge
embodied in all the specifications, to-
wit: actions ito the prejudice of good
order and military discipline"
1t appears from the evidence that
nothing was proved against these men
which they did not have a perfect
right to do or say. They we're convict
ed, not of any offense, but of holding
certain opinions. They were proved
to be good soldiers under perfect dis
cipline, and to an unprejudiced OBJ
server they appear to be far better
Americans than those who sat in
judgement over them.
cons~93utions Asked
The local efforts will be pushed as
far as possible in the attempt to Sc
cure Justice for Crouch and Trumbull.
It is probable that outside assistance
will be needed if the case is opened
up in the local courts.
Parties or organizations desiring to
contribute to the local defense fund
should communicate with Geo. w.
Wright, president Honolulu Central
Labor Council and local representa-
tive OF the defense, or with Paul
Crouch or Walter Trumbull direct, q

Demonstrate Against Imperialism.
The demonstration paused in front
of the custom house, breaking into an
improvised meeting ending with gen
eral cries of indignation of people
Slamoring for the return Of the Gus
tom house to China. On their way
along the embankment of the narrow
canal between Shameen and the city
Of Canton, the manifestants waved
numerous banners. shouting demands
for the restoration of Shameen and
relentless struggle against imperial
ism.
Thus the anti-Japanese planned pro-
test grew into a huge general pro-
test against all imperiahsts. The or
ganized columns of the procession
were followed by crowds of citizens
who supported alphabetically the
slogan Of the day, which was Down
with Imperialism"
Japanese Advice UnweIcome.
On the eve OF that day, the acting
Japanese consul had addressed cir
cular letter to all the schools, stress
ing the cultural aims of educational
institutions and urging the students,
in the interest Of friendship between
the Chinese and Japanese peoples, to
forbear from participation in political
demonstrations.
Naturally, however, this letter had
but the contrary effect Of causing gen.
eral indignation and, as a result, all
the students walked out in the 7th Of
May demonstration.

Head of Institute Gives
Views on Subject.

Speech is an acquired faculty and
stammering Is an acquired defect,
the result of in coordination of the
mechanism of speech" says Benja-
min Bogue, head of the Bogue Insti-
tute for Stammerers. 1.-THE child gen.
orally begins to have speech trouble
because he does not know how to
combine the art Of ideation with that
Of oral expression. He struggles to
utter words after the mind has gone
forward"
Ordinarily" he said. Suffering
develops between the ages Of and
8, and it is at this time in the child's
life that the trouble can usually be
overcome when the parent is willing
to assist the child to a correct mode
of expression. The most important
years for getting normal speech
properly established are the first five
years Of life. After distractions to
normal breathing have Been re-
moved. all young children showing
the slightest tendency to hesitate in
speech should have daily training in
correct active breathing for voice
production, rhythmic exercises, and
very distinct dictation.
Training for speech is training
for life, and one of the anomalies Of
the educational world is that speech,
the highest development within the
possibilities of man, has been ne
elected or left to chance"
