be strong enuf to deal with revolu-
tionary elements.
Raids Act as Boomerang.
But now it is seen that the Jugo-
Slav government has overstepped it's
mark and that it has gained by its
brutal measures against the labor
movement the very opposite result.
The Zagreb paper Morning, in an of,
fetal communique makes the follow
ing comment:
THE arrests of many Communist
leaders and the many house searches
gave reason to all sorts of rumors-.
all the more, because the police did
not want to give out any information,
out of which any conclusions might
have been drawn as to the reasons of
the unexpected measures. The conse-
quence was that the most incredible
rumors appeared and found even an.
echo abroad and place in our news
papers.
THE arrests and prosecutions of
Communists have not had as good an
echo in American circles as has been
expected
"On the contrary, they have created
only amazement towards our state and
the delegation that has travelled to
America to settle the debt question.
AT a conference at which the secre-
tary of the foreign minister, Jowan
Markowitsch, the chief of the state
protection department, Mr.. Radenau
Todorovic and the chief of the state
administration, Manoljo Lazarevic,
were present it was decided to issue
communique which runs as follows:
Official communique.
In connection with the arrest of
some Communists exaggerated news
was spread about by the home and
foreign press. We are authorized to
declare that the inquiry has got moth
ing to do with an alternate.
The arrests have taken place be-
cause the arrested persons stand
under suspicion to have attempted an
organization of Communist circles
among the workers and to have
thereby and by similar actions Of
tended the law for the protection Of
the state. Until now % persons were
put under arrest which has already
been acknowledged by the ordinary
court for part of them
When the government speaks Of but
% prisoners it is committing consci-
ously a misrepresentation of facts for
even the Belgrade papers are admit.
ting that there has been about 300 to
800 persons arrested. The arrests
of workers is still going on.
The communique does not mention
one single word in what manner the
arrested persons were treated bv the
police. This can be easily understood
when it is rememberedcthat all were
most brutally ill-treated. Reports of
which were printed in the Belgrade
papers and can no more be denied.

Waiter Writes About
Life in Cafeteria
81 a Worker correspondent

NEW YORK, March 3. - am a
waiter. Having been out of work ( n
some time I was looking for a Job.
Noticing a card in the window of the
Globe cafeteria, on 23 St, between
Lexington and 4th Ave, reading that
a buss boy was wanted | went in and
applied for the job. The boss said
he would give me SIS week to start
with, If | proved satisfactory he would
raise me to SIS. told him was
experienced but he insisted show
him, promising If convinced he would
give me the additional SO.
AT noon / asked him how | was
doing. When he said he was satisfied,
| asked for the SIS rate to begin then
and there. He told me TO 20 right on
working, or he would hire someone
else.
Different Wages for Same Work.
In the afternoon | asked the other
bus boys what they got. One got
SIS and the other 500. While we were
talking one Of the boys noticed the
Doss was sitting az a table where he
could overhear us. Immediately the
boys shut up. | told them loud enuf
for him to hear that the bosses were
only interested in making all they
could out OF us.
At D. m, when was going home,
the cashier stopped me. She gave
me $3.50. what was due me for the
day, and told me the boss had in.
structed her to pay me of. When I
told her the boss was an exploiter she
only laughed. was nearly all in from
that grinding l2-hour day In the
restaurant. .N
The only hope for the restaurant
workers is in Organization.

ENGLISH FORM
OF LABOR BANK
SPREADS Lure

LONDON, March S-lThe First Co
operative Investment Trust is an Eng
lish attempt to build up the invest
ment interests Of the British working
class on the model OF the labor banks
and similar financial institutions in
the United States. 1t represents class
collaboration in the field of finance
and workers savings.
This company was formed in Janu-
airy, 1924, with a capital of less than
$4,000 which was subscribed by it's
founders. 1t adYertises in all labor
publications, claiming that it is the
first investment concern to provide
primarily for the small investor. It's
shares are worth at par two shillings
(4S cents). The minimum to an in
dividual is ten shares approximately
$500 value). The maximum which
may be held by one person or organ
ization is 1000 shares. Five per cent
dividends were originally promised
but after placing substantial sums to
build up a reserve, a seven per cent
rate has been maintained from the
start.
Find Exploitation Profitable.
The rise of the company has been
phenomenal. Starting with less than
$4,000 paid in capital, the first year
ended with capital of approximately
$4,000, contributed by 563 mem
bers. The capital was spread over 81
different investments. A reserve Of
over $4,000 was set aside, accumulat-
ed principally from profits made on
the sale of investments.
Six months later the semi-annual
report showed capital of over $780,
600. The number Of members had in
creased to 1920 and the number of
investments to 1856. over $4,000 was
added to the reserve.
Living off the Oppressed.
The prospectus Of the organization
tries to lure the cash from small
property holders and the skilled work
ers who have savings. "The safety
of the capital" they are assured, sis
made certain by the spreading of the
capital over a great many different
enterprises in countries. in all parts
of the globe, and by this systematic
diversifcation are the risks wide
spread. No investment of the trust
represents more than five per cent of
its capital. At the close of the last
half year the capital of the trust was
invested in 20 countries, and in addi-
ton to various government, municipal
and similar loans, each member of
the trust is by virtue of its invest
ments, interested in such varied in
dustries as railways in Argentina,
Brazil and U. S. A., the manufacture
of artificial silk, motorcycles. cloth
ing, margarine, ETC., IN England, motor
tires in England, U. S. A., and Cana
da, tea, coffee, rubber, tin and copper
in various parts of the world, and
scores of other enterprises"
Class Collaboration Treason.
Perhaps some of the funds are in
vested in securities of the huge mills
which are grinding the life out of
the Chinese children. What difference
does 1t make to A. Emil Davies, la
Dor party member OF the London city
council, and the class collaboration
lists who believe with him that the
participation of the workers in the
stock ownership OF capitalist indus
try will help the working class to lift
itself by its bootstraps?

with their Nickel Plate system, and
that the new application will be
filed with the commission within a
short period
The commission is prepared to
give Ii prompt consideration, as the

body functions every day except
Sundays and legal holidays. Re-
ports of New York financial writer's
that the commission was planning q

denied.
..If and when We get another
Van Sweringer merger application,
we win get right to work on II,
one member Of the commission said.
The commission takes no summer
recess.
