AUSTRALIA TURNS

LONDON. July 9.-An Exchange
Telegraph Agency message from
Melbourne says the Australian gov
ernment has confirmed the New
York report that Australia will float
a loan in the United States soon.
With G120,000,00O sterling in loans
maturing this year, the Australian
government recently asked Great
Britain whether there was any OBJ
lection to borrowing in New York
TO meet these requirements. The
British reply was that there was no
particular objection, especially since
il was not likely that sufficient
money would be available in London
to meet Australia's needs.
1t is expected that the American
loan will total 00,000,000.

only a few days ago that press
dispatches from abroad told OF
it.
knowledge that the agreement was
changed after its adoption, and after
the official text,had been given world
wide publication, served to increase
the suspicion with which the senate
irreconcilables viewed the whote
transaction.
The state departments explanation
of the changes as incidental" and
"unimportant" was calculated today
to allay this Suspicion and forestall
any further outbreak in the senate
such as occurred some days ago.
One of the changes made was the
insertion Of clause stating that Amer
lea should get its "a per cent after
the deductions of sums allotted for
other treaty charges by this agree
ment."
This change had the effect today Of
further convincing the irreconcilable
senator's like johnson, republican, of
California that the Paris agreement
really is "a treaty" and consequently
should be submitted to the senate for
ratification.
Secretary Hughes has commended
that the agreement was not a treaty"
and thus was Of no concern to the
senate.

DUBUQUE, iowa,
WILL See SOME
REAL B0LSHEvIKS

DUBUQUE, TO-, Feb. 9.-This town
gives the impression of being old,
many Of the buildings having the ap-
pearance Of age and neglect. There
are also quite large number of big
factories that make it look like a bee
hive, and the reports given by the
workers as to conditions makes the
impression more realistic, the droves
wax fat at the expense of sweated
workers.
The visitor is greeted with a large
sign board at the railroad depot sta
ting the population is 42,1S1; factories
120; wholesale houses 40; churches
So; academies 4; colleges 3; univers-
tiles /; seminaries /; parks 8; and,
railroads 4.
Upon another sign board they ad-
vertise that between 1910 and 1920
wage workers in their factories in
creased 1873 per cent and production
1890 per cent. This shows the pros
pective factory site seeker that Dubu-
kue wage slaves are speeded up over
one hundred per cent.
The city is estimated to be so per
cent Roman catholic, about Is per cent
are foreign born, and up until the
past few months the kluxers had o
strong organization. A counter move!
ment was started against the kluxers
through a paper called Tolerance,
which promised to publish the names
Of every kluxer in town. They pub
lished about so. the first week. ther

now the paper has ceased publication

for Billy Sunday and the holders Of
white slaves, against the jesuits, blacl

TRACTION GANG

especial TO The Daily WorkerJ
NEW YORK, Feb. Sticking their
chops in happy contentment after hav-
ing collected $69O,362 from the city for
alleged failure to dig few shovelfuls
Of dirt in the BIN. T. subway near
Broadway in alleged fulfillment Of con-
tract, the failure causing a delay of
eighteen months OF profit scooping,
the traction barons are now cycling a
still bigger gold nugget in the lap OF
the city valued at bit in excess of
SS0,0O0,0OO.
Easier Way to Get shekeIs.
The traction interests have played
long and successfully at the game of
collecting nickels from the workers
who must use the miserable cattle
cars going to and coming from work,
but while this game has netted the
fatlings millions of dollars every
month there appears to be a still cas-
Ter way to rake in the shekels. Being
in possession Of the city government
lit is rather easy to have said govern
ment make contracts with the barons
and also fail to fulfil said contracts,
whereupon the barons sue and collect.
Digrihed judges sit high above the
common herd and grant anything the
bosses ask for.
Much satisfaction was expressed by
the counsel, ]. w. Hilly, who repre-
scented the city in the first suit over the
fact that the Broadway tumble occur
red during the administration Of
Mayor Mitchell. So it was not the
fault of the present Palm Bleaching
mayor. That should be balm enough
for any heart that might feel sore be-
cause Of the seven hundred thousand
dollar steal, q matter so small that it
will not pay for more than couple OF
sprees of one Of the dudes in the tran;
sit conpany's family.
II would be cruel and crude to point
out that the pending suit for $4,000
600 is on the basis Of contract breach
under Mayor Hylan. How can Hillyi
get comfort out of that? But maybe
the traction gang can.
In the meantime 40 school children
have gone on strike against being
transferred to P. S. No. 5, an anti
quated building at Webster avenue
and 1SSth street, the Bronx.

Treason and Reaction

(speeIaI 70 The paiIy Workerl


CHARLESToWN, w. Va, Feb. g.
While John L. Lewis and his reaction
airy machine were engaged in waging
war on the radicals in the United
Mine Workers of America, the coal
operators were busy destroying the
union In West Virginia. Today, moth
ing is left Of the union but a skeleton
of its former self In this stronghold
of open shoppers and black reaction.
Coincident with the announcement
that Wall Street was putting thru a
$100, 900 900 coal merger in the Fair
mont Clarlksburg- Morgantown district,
came the news that fake labor I'M
ion under the name of the Mine
Workers Association of West Vir-
ginia" had taken out a charter at the
Office of secretary of state. The presi-
dent Of this scab union is Thomas
Cairns, former president Of District
The Labor Lieutenant.
Evidently Cairns is the labor lieu
tenant of the coal operators. He has
incorporated His fake union and an
nounced that the object of the asso-
citation was to preserve the coal in
dustry of the state from destruction
and the incorporation would show
good faith and convince operators that
when negotiating wage contracts the
association would be responsible for
faithful performance of contractors.
This stoolpigeon, in public state.
ment, undoubtedly written by the at
torney for the coal operators, say: 1T
has been established in the courts and
elsewhere that there has been con
spiracy to cripple production of the
coal mines in West Virginia" and tells
of the tent colonies all over the state
where the striking miners and their
children are huddled in cold and
hunger. These gallant unionists have
battled for years against the most
bloodthirsty and heartless group Of ex.
ploiters in the United States. Yet
Lewis and company instead of assist
ing them have spent thousands of dol.

during the week and when they APP
peared to take the pledge on Wednes-

ST. PAUL, MIMI, FeD. 9.-Ine
Communists of st. Paul are causing
as much excitement in the dove cote
of the reactionaries in the labor move
ment here as the radicals in the city
across the river.
William Mahoney, erstwhile progress
sive, has taken it upon himself to rid
the farmer-labor party, or what is left
of it, of the Communists His sue
cecss in doing so is not likely to bring
him any laurels more comfortable
than fresh crown of thorns from
the takers he is trying so hard to
please.
Mahoney.s heart was set on getting
rid of Otto Wangerin, secretary Of
the Ramsey county division of the
farmer-labor federation. at it's recent
convention on Jan. 81. But when the
votes were counted Wangerin was
wearing his characteristic smile and
Mahoney wore the face Of a "Jiggs"
who met his Maggie" at the door
while trying to sneak over to Dinty
Moore's for a game of forty-five with

In other words, Comrade Wangerin
was reelected. This caused Mr.. Ma
honey to wall loudly and long in the
columns OF his paper. the Union

sundry that the Communists had a
most devilish habit Of nosing in where
they did not belong and. "fooling" the
workers.
Why the delegates persisted in
electing Wangerin, Mahoney does not
Say, tho he sincerely believes they
are not revolutionists. To add to
Mahoney's mental anguish Wangerin
introduced a resolution condemning
he so-called unity conference" called
by the reactionaries for the purpose
Of liquidating the federation as labor

able in the bourgeois sense. The reso-
luton caused so much discussion that
no action was taken on it until the

leading story on the front page is
taken up with an attack on Wangerin,
the Communist secretary OF the Ram
