CUBAN CIGAR MAKERS
WAGESL0W, TOBIR SAYS

b International Labor News Service
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April 3d.
Daniel J. Tobin, president Of the
brotherhood Of Transfers, recently
paid visit to Cuba for the purpose
of looking into trade union conditions
in that city.
Among the industries inspected in
Havana were several cigar factories,
the railroad mems organization and
the headquarters Of the Cigar Maxi
ers' Union. II went through the Co
roma cigar factory" President Tobin
said, where there are about ESQ men
and $50 women employed. The cigar
workers work piece work and aver
age from $28 to $32 week. They are
fully organized. The women are or
ganized into a separate union and
prepare the tobacco for the cigar
makers. In the United States we call
them strippers or sorters. Their
wages and hours are depressing. l
found there old women, some of them
20 years old, and young girls, some
not over IA, working for a wage
varying from rs to 80 cents day to
81 and S1.25 day. In talking with
one old woman she said she had work.

and averaged about 81 a day, work.
ing II hours a day. l found the
buildings where they worked quite
sanitary for tropical country. From
the wages paid to the organized
workers you can imagine about what
the unorganized laborers receive in
wages"
President Tobin said Cuban labor
officials gave the American visitors
dinner and that the Americans ex-
planned that the leaders of labor in
America and the labor movement in
general wished to be helpful to the
Cuban workers in every way possible.
The hope was expressed by Cuban
labor leaders and others that that
country would pattern its labor or

products were going, but the export
figures do not show what the revOlu-
tionists proclaim.
It would be interesting to know
what would have been the present
status of affairs in England if there
had been from the first a genuine
trade union policy and single re-
lance on that policy. But sooner or
later the British workers have got to
rid themselves of their hobby horses
and their revolutionary slogans, or
the British Empire will suffer what
may well enough be fatal blow.
It won't make much difference
what sort of political system the coun-
try has if work is not done. A "dic-
tatorship of the proletariat" can be
as productive of bloodshed,i famine
and misery as the worst capitalist
exploitation imaginable, as the case Of
Russia so tragically shows.

farm efficiency, perhaps it means re-
lease Of man-power along with re-
lease Of horsepower, and perhaps it
means more flow of farm workers to
city workshops. At any rate It Is
sure that labor has an interest in
scientific and mechanical progress
that is only second to its interest in
immediate wages, shop conditions
and terms Of employment When a
man ceases to observe what's hap
pening is the time when something
is put over on him most easily.

BY The Way

In England there are today more
than 1,250,000 workers drawing I'M
employment dolesl fa
This is truly staggering number.
There are more wage Farmers in Eng
land than there yere in 1924 and they
have less work to do, apparently.
These figures are reported by John
Balderston, in the New York World,
and there is no reason to doubt their
accuracy
The only feeling possible, in view
ing such q tragic situation is one of
compassion. But the comment that
may be made is not necessarily lin
tied to mush.
It is impossible to avoid review
of some of the things that have hap
pened in England.
The British workers have flown
from one magic remedy to another in
the years that have elapsed since
1914.
They have forever been on the
verge Of changing everything by some
great majestic gesture. There has
been one formula after another.
Formulae were pursued to such
purpose that trade union membership
went into an almost atastrophic de-
cline.
Ranking above all others in the fet-
ish line has been the goddess Of poll
tics. The Labor Party has been look
ed to with an amazingly blind faith
as the cure-all and the end-all of the
troubles of the workers.
It is apparently now a question
whether trade union leaders can lead
back to sanity and constructive trade
union effort those to whom they have
painted, in past years, such glowing
pictures of Independent political ac-
ton. The fresco doesn't wipe off so
easily, it seems.
There is definite cleavage between
a wing that wants the most drastic
general strike action and those who
want to turn to the more prosaic
less colorful course Of organization
industrial agreement and hard work.
There is no system on earth that
can give the British workers or any
others workers wealth when there is
not sufficient wealth produced. II
profit is wiped out entirely, there still
must be production on a grand scale
there still must be hard work, to pro.
vide for all.
If the British workers were being
20 terribly cheated, the export figures
OF England would show where the

Herbert Hoover recommends that
American producers be enabled by
law to buy their foreign materials
through common purchasing agents.
The Sherman antitrust law forbids
this at present. The Sherman law
was enacted because monopolies abus-
ed their power. Monopolies came ia
response to natural industrial evoIp-
tion-and for the same reason they
resorted to practices common to All
youth, youth being naturally destruc-
tive. Now this ancient anti-conspir-
acy law will have to be repealed be-
cause it blocks modern progress. But
when that is done industry will have
to develop machinery within itself
to prevent abuse and the misuse Of
power.

Henry Ford has begun operation
of an airplane route from Dearborn
TO Chicago. Ford is operating a
Ford-built all-metal plane. For the
purpose of making automobiles cheap
ly Ford now owns mines, forests,
blast furnaces, glass works, timber
mills, railroad, and an airplane line.
Ford has what is called vertical
trust-everything from the ground

one Of the most interesting and sig

Along about the end Of this month
Vice President Dawes is slated to
make speech at the annual meeting
of the Associated Press. This is to
be the first of many speeches in which
Mr.. Dawes will tell what's wrong
with the Senate.
1t is impossible to think OF General
Dawes (of the many titles) without
recalling that day when the Senate
was tied over rejecting presidential
appointee for the Attorney General
ship-and the Vice President was
taking a nap at the Willard. Right
there he missed his chance to do a
San Juan Hill and really get on the
map.
Dawes and the Senate are not un-
like that picture presented in "Bom-
bastes Furioso," where the dialogue
runs:
Bombastes:
$50 l have heard on Afric's burning
shore
A hungry lion give a grievous roar;
The grieyous roar echoed along the
shore"
$50 have heard on Afric's burn
ing shore 9&
Another lion give grievous roar;
And the second lion thought the first
bore"
The distinguished gentlemen who
listen to Gen. Dawes as he berates
the Senate may thus well imagine, as
they listen, what the Senate would
say about the general if it were doing
the speaking.
