NEW YORK, Feb. 24.-Broadway,
which has been treated to many sights
by the depraved morons that infest
it's lights, was given jolt when Earl
Carroll, theater magnate, held a par
ty at his playhouse in which over 300
men and women viewed naked girl
bathing in a bath-tub filled with costly
wines and champagne.
That's Too Rawl"
The men were told to lineup and
as they passed the tub, chuckling with
glee, the naked chorus dancer ladled
out some of the wine to them. Harry
X. Thaw and Countess Vera Cathcart
we're among the guests at this affair.
Irwin S. Cobb; newspaper writer who
was among those that viewed the
nude chorus girl, remarked to Harry
X. Thaw, That's too raw!"
Two jazz orphestras played thru
out the night while the guests pranc-
ed around the floor.

AUSTRO-GERMAN
union ACITATES
EUROPEAN HEADS
Economic Forces Seek to
Erase Barriers
Especial to The Daily Worker,

VIENNA, Feb. 24.-The violent con-
troversy over South Tyrol is pushing
the question of the political union of
Austria and Germany again into the
foreground. Economic reasons, partic-
ularly on the part of Austria, require
such solution of the difficult situa-
ton in which that country has been
placed by the peace treaty.
The breakup of the old Austro- Hun
garian empire has reduced Austria
TO the position of a city state, deprived
of its natural markets and raw re-
sources. 1t is surrounded by the sue
cession republics which are trying to
utilize every opportunity to build
themselves up at the expense of
Austria.
To Join the ZollVerein.
The breakdown of the tariff barriers
which Germany has erected would
bring tremendous improvement, in
dustrialists believe. This would be ae.
complished by Austria becoming a
member of the Zollyerein, the customs
union which includes the other Ger
man states. Under the proposed plan,
Austria would take her place among
the federal states of the German re-
public, with the same autonomy as
Bavaria, for example. Fifty deputies
would represent Austria in the Reichs-
tag, half of whom would be christian
socialists. This party holds the same
principles as the center, or catholic
party in Germany. 1t is neither chris
tian, however, nor socialist, but is
really the political appendage of the
vatican
In Germany only those who are
working for the restoration of the
Hohenzollerns are opposed, as that
dynasty is Lutheran. The followers of
the catholic Hapsburgs of Austria
fight the union because it will destroy
their chances of a restoration. Sane
tion for the union must be obtained
from the great powers, as the present
status of Austria was established by
the treaty of st. German. France is
opposed naturally. Premier Mussolini
has violently condemned the proposal
but the Austrians believe he is mere
ly trying to bargain for his approval.
Czecho-Slovakia is strongly opposed
to the project fearing that Austria
would become a powerful industrial
rival.
Rely on Chamberlain.
Both Austrians and Germans are
pinning their hopes to England's an
ticipated sanction. Austen Chamber
lain is conducting an extremely COM
plicated game of international diplom-
acy, all looking to the strengthening
of that country's position in Asia and
as against the Soviet Union.

1.4OO Girl Mill
WORKERS STRIKE
FOR So RAISE
They Strike as Fathers
Return to Work

SCRANTON, Pa. Feb. 24.-FP)--
Over 1,4OO girl workers in the anthra-
cite region silk mills are striking. while
their fathers, and brothers go back in
to the mines after their five and a
half months fight. The girls protest
against the miserable wages they
have been paid.
Last June the girls struck demand
ing SO increases over tbTir average
weekly wage of $12. They were then
poorly organized and the impending
anthracite strike sent them back to
the mills after hard fight which did
not bring them all they wanted. The
maximum wage since their summer
strike has been SIS with girls aver
aging $3.50 as the season slowed. The
girls striking at Century Throwing
CO., owned by Paterson, N. j., silk
firm, were given a So wage cut, altho
the Paterson workers organized in
the Associated Silk Workers get a
third to half more pay than the an
,thracite region workers.
Most OF the girls are strikers from
Leon-Ferenbach silk Co. They com.
plain that speeding up OF machines
cuts their earnings in proportion to
the product. The United Textile
workers have been organizing the
girls. There are several thousand silk
workers in these anthracite valleys,
5000 employed at Shamokin by c. X
Eagle & Co. alone when busy During
the winter the silk mills were not
working full time.

especial to The Daily Workerl
EVANSVILLE, Ind, Feb. "a
Three companies of national guard
troops are held in readiness in the
armory here to aid the coal opera
tors in preventing the picketing of
non-union mines by union miners.
Two airplanes from the 18th air
squadron at kokomo are patroling
the mine fields watching for further
marches of the union miners.
EVANSVILLE, Ind, Feb. 24-Work
has been resumed at the non-union
mines in Vanderburgh, Warrick and
Gibson counties with the aid of scabs
under protection of some companies
of the Indiana national guard which
arrived here yesterday. Six mines
are hoisting coal, the first that has.
been produced since the union miners
picketed the mines to unionize the
scabs.
The operators have been putting the
mines in this district on a 1917 wage
scale basis and declaring for the open
shop. The supply Of scabs that they
were able to get to work at the 1917
scale was dragged out of the mines by
pickets Of union miners who marched
from the strongly unionized districts
to spread the union to the non-union
fields.
The bringing in of the national
guard is part of the operators scheme
to drive the. union out of the field.
1t is reported that the union miners
have not abandoned their campaign
to organize the field.

singing as they neared their fell
low workers, Hold the Fort for
We Are Coming"
Friends and neighbors in the textile
district were in the two divisions that
now became one. After the first group
had swung into line the torrent of
workers, men and women and many
children under fourteen, came along
without hesitation. grasping each
other by the hand, women falling into
each others arms singing and sobbing
at once in the joy that they had
chosen to make the cause of the
strikers their own cause and unite in
this, the greatest of all conflicts that
has ever taken place in the industrial
life of the state.
Bosses to Close Plants.
The Forstmann- Huffman mill en-
ployes $500 and all went out except
some finishers who wanted to wind up
their work in order to get their pay
for Photographed jobs. They will
all come out tomorrow.
The officials of the firm stated that
they would close the plant as the Bo-
tany and the Gera bosses have done.
1t is so difficult to get scaDs and they
cost so much that it does not pay in
this case. The leadership has so
thoroly educated the strikers that no
matter how many scabs appear to
enter mill the strikers understand
that these go in at the front gate and
then leave at side door, making the
rounds so that a gang of scabs not
more than twenty-five or fifty show
off asif there were several hundred
workers going back. This bubble of
the bosses has been pricked by the
speakers so often that the workers
are fully aware of the trick. 1t was
for that reason the Botany had to shut
down and the latest mill to be struck
is not even attempting to fool the
strikers. Hence the announcement
that it will shut down entirely.
Forstmann Bosses Ordered Attack.
1t was the Forstmann- HUFFMAN
lords that ordered the local police
to make the attack on the Alderman
Ave. bridge, where dozens of workers
were beaten and knocked down. This
stirred the strikers to greater deter
mination and from that day to this it
was decided that the Forstmann-Huff-
mann would be pulled down. 1t is
down and the strikers are happy and
the new recruits are more happy.

chairman Of Manhattan Lyceum, lead
ing the workers in the demonstration,
we're struck on the face and body with
fists and clubs by the police, who
afterward arrested skolnick on a
charge Of disorderIy conduct.
Despite the fact that Monday was a
legal holiday the streets we're jam
med with pickets, workers who are
ready to sacrifice their lives if neces-
sary to win their demands for better
living conditions, for a higher stand
ard. After picketing about 8 hours
the workers formed into line and
marched thru the fur district with
Benjamin Gold and Aaron Gross at
the head OF line that reached from
9Th to 7th Ave. Despite the fact that
the police tried to break up the march
ing line with violence and force the
workers crossed in solid ranks, and
marched down to the halls.
Workers Demands:
The workers have submitted the fol-
lowing demands:
/. Equal division of work and no
discharge;
2. 40-hour week;
3. Unemployment insurance fund
to be paid by the manufacturers.
The bosses feel that the workers
mean business and are determined to
fight for the demands they have sub
mitted.
Driving Out Scabbery.
It is only one week since the work
ers went out on strike against the fur
manufacturers, demanding better

where they are subject to all kinds of
diseases fromIthe cheap dyes and dust
Of the pelts. They have shown their
ability to smash rs scab nests and
