Quick Approval
(By The Associated Press }

WASHINGTON, ID. G., April 2T.-
With machine-like regularity, the
senate today put its stamp of APP
proval on the debt funding agree
ments negotiated by the American
debt commission.
After short debate it first ratified
the s6,0OO.000 debt agreement with
Latvia and then in short order APP
proved the sl3.s30.00O agreement with
Esthonia and the sal. 1.49i,s1O settle
ment with Roumania.
WASHINGTON. ID. c., April 81
The Latvian deit settlement was APP
pproved by the senate after debate
of less than an hour and half. SEN
ator Smoot, republican, member OF
the debt commission. opened the de-
bate for settlement, and the brunt Of
the opposition was taken by Senator
Reed, democrat. Missouri, who de-
clared the agreement not only waste
full. but "idiotic."
Senator Smoot explained the &c.
100000 Latvian settlement in detail.
corning Latvia's payment Of her debts
to France and to Norway, the Utah
senator said that both had been paid
in deprecated currency.
Ratification was voted so to 1s.
The agreement now goes to President
Coolidge, and will come into force
when he signs it.

PUBLISHERS ACTION
AIDS BROADCASTERS
Waterson Believed to Point Way to
Tax-Free Movement That Will
Give Considerable Relief.

Broadcasters are watching with in
terest the latest venture Of Henry
Waterson, music publisher, in issuing
new taX-free compositions under the
corporate name of American Com
posers.
Although the first IL numbers in
the catalog are designed primarily
for motion picture exploitation and
use, it is believed that Waterson's
latest move in ''bucking'' the Ameri
can Society of Composers, Authors
and Publishers may eventually lead
to a taX-free movement that may
give considerable relief to the broad.
casters in their fight against the de.
mands of the society.
With action on the Dill bill pro
viding a revision of the new copy
right law, $50 as to provide direct fees
to composers from broadcaSterS, a
thing of the indefinite future, and
with the society gaining further
ground in the addition of several in
dependent publishing firms to its list
of members, the broadcasters are
frankly worried over the prospects of
coming to an early solution of the
problems of paying for their music.
Almost simultaneously with the new
step by Waterson, there has been an
nounCed the withdrawal of WaterSon,
Berlin and Snyder from the society,
and the permission given to broadcast
these numbers without the payment
of fees. This presents broadcasters
many additional popular numbers of
past years. The Waterson, Berlin
and Snyder firm, however, has no new
songs or dance numbers in its name.

EXPERIENCES ST. PAUL RE-
ORGANIZATION.

NEHEN the time for reorganization
W came, the st. Paul League was a
group of young Communists with a
fair theoretical understanding (com-
pared with other units in the district)
and more loyal to the movement. But
isolated from the Young Workers.
Not merely having no influence, but
actually isolated. The leading COM
rat1es have recognized that, and at
tempted to break thru to the masses.
To do that, however, the entire organ
ization was needed and not the action
of individuals. We had to change the
internal activity and theology into
mass activity. The reorganization of
the former branch into more than one
group, tended to force the comrades to
start real Communist work by MAX
ing every member function and to
start outside work in an attempt to
gain new elements from the shops.
The result is that for the first time
the st. Paul league members are ac-
tually carrying on a shop campaign
against printing company where a
few hundred young workers are en-

CHICAGO WOMEN
MILLINERSl NOW
ARE ORGANIZED
Large Mass Meeting Is
Called for April 29th
(By Federated Press.)

Unusual weather conditions and
other factors that have prolonged the
working season in the spring hat in
dustry are responsible for the good
response met by the Women Millin-
cry Workers Union in their extended
Chicago organization campaign.
Starting a number of weeks before
the Easter bonnet season was at it's
height the newly chartered union,
which is Local So, Cloth Hat, Cap and
Millinery Workers International I'm
ion, continues enlisting the girl work
ers of the industry "a mass meeting
for machine operators and trimmers
is called for April 20 in the CAPITAL
building, timed for 6l3O p. M, when
the girls from the loft shops in the
loop have had bite to eat after work.
Agnes Nestor of the Women's Trade
Union League is to be chairman.
The union is taking its broader la
Dor duties seriously, having elected
Elizabeth Rubin and Edith Killian as
delegates to the Women's Trade
Union league and Anna E. David and
Ida Muskin to the Chicago Federation
of Labor.
Our local is succeeding in break
ing down the prejudice of the girls
against men workers in the shops"
says Secy. Anna David. "The bosses
have kept the prejudice alive to keep
the workers divided. We are begin
ming to see that the only result of
prejudice between workers is bigger
profits for the boss and lower wages
for the workers.
"Our best object lesson in solidar-
ity is to point out what is going on in
many of the shops. Side by side,
working at the same bench, doing the
same kind of work and turning out
an equal amount of it, are men work
ers getting $50 a week and women
workers getting $35ia week. Speed,
skill, output, endurance, steadiness
are the same. The only difference is
that the men are fully organized in
Local AZ while the women are as yet
only partly organized and in many
shops not at all.
Local AZ is cooperating with our
new local in every way. We are hav-
ing joint committee meetings and AZ
is prepared to tdrno over to us the
women members it enrolled before our
Local So was organized"

Experiences of Shop Nuclei
and Concentration Groups

ployed. And altho no organizational
results had been gained yet, we have
established contact with young work
ers who give us the information for
the shop bulletin which is published
every week. But this is done only
by one group. The other groups have
not started yet; excuses for it may be
found but it is not my intention to do
so. 1t is hard to break away from the
old habits, and harder yet to start on
a new inexperienced road.
Like other cities we suffered from
the fact that the party took away our
best, experienced comrades, but 1t is
remedied to a degree. Our reserve
were at hand. We sent into the party
the older comrades and retained the
younger, so that all of them may at
tend to their work in either the party
or league and not to make half baked
jobs in both.
In carrying on our external work
we must also not neglect our internal
