that he has not received any dividend
for four years. But Lansbury show
from the company's annual report
that he has been receiving preferred
dividends right thru 1925 Failure e

shows, is due to the huge increase II
bond interest requirements from
$164,O 900 in 1920 to S1,O9O,O0O in 1924

The common stockholders, says
Lansbury, realize that unless wages
can be broken down prospects are

crease the miners hours. Today Mr..
Baldwin is doing what Baldwins Ltd.

shows how nearly they all are affected
by this exposure. Their industries are
burdened with debt and they dare not

Mine Operators Honored.
Growing evidence OF the class bias
OF the government against the miners
appears in the list OF 'houors" con-
ferred at the recommendation Of the
cabinet on the kings birthday. The
only two important ones IN the list
were reserved for coal magnates. Lord
Tredegar was raised to vigcount and
H. S. Berry got a peerage. Berry is
a South Wales coal owner whose
newspapers have led in attacking the
miners, demanding longer hours in
the mines and obstructing the reor-
ganization Of the industry.
ITO confer these honors at such a

and provocative insult to the workers
of this country, inflicted by a class
government whose only thought is to
lick the boots as well as fill the peck

That question is in the minds of exc
cutives of the American Federation Of
Labor as the date approaches for the
annual meeting of the Congress, where
the American Federation Of Labor
will be represented by Frank Earring
ton of the Illinois mine workers and
by President Hutchinson of the Broth
erhood of Carpenters. 1t is a live
question because the United Mine
Workers Of America and the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor are forward
ing money for the relief of the British
miners families. It is interesting also
because Miss Ellen Wilkerson and
Ben Tillett, two of the dynamic fig
ures in the British movement today,
are about to land in New York, to ap-
peal to the American public for funds
for the miners.
Russian Unions on Job.
When the miners were left to fight
alone, due to the sudden retreat of
the general council of the Trade I'm
ion Congress from its general sympa-
thetic strike, financial aid was imme-
diately promised the miners by the So
cialist and democratic unions Of the
continent, affiliated in the Amsterdam
International, and by the Communist
unions in the Soviet Republics. The
Communist unions sent more than
100000 The socialist and demo
cratic unions sent a small fraction Of
that amount. The American mine
workers sent some scores Of thous-
ands Of dollars-the total has not been
announced. Thru the office Of the
American Federation of Labor has
gone smaller sum, for which the
appeal was issued two months after
the lockout began. What has i'm
pressed the British miners, more than
100000 in number, is that only the
Russians have come to their aid in a
big way. Whatever the motive be-
hind it, the Russian gift fed the wo-
men and children when they needed
food.
Now the program for discussion for
the Trade Union Congress is out. for

Invent Superior Kind

MOSCOW (By MaiD Two Russian
electrical engineers, Ginsburg and
Germont, have invented a new type
of electric lamp. which is now to be
produced in the Soviet electric lamp
factories in preference to the other
types hitherto produced. The supe-
riority of this lamp has been recog-
nized for them from abroad, which.
however, the Soviet factories are I'M
able to fulfil owing to the necessity
of supplying the Russian market.
The Northwestern State Trading
Department has entered into an agree
ment with the Phoenix" works in

Of these lamps for the Czecho-Slovak
market, the latter paying the Soviet
Trading Department a royalty Of s
per cent OF the factory price of the

Bed of Caspian Sea
Receding According
to Soviet Scientist

MOSCOW (By Mail)-The bed of the
Caspian Sea has been steadily sub
siding during the last eight years and
is now over one meter lower than it
was in 1918, according to Prof. Voz-
.nesensky, who made this statement in
a lecture he delivered before the Rus
sian Geographical Society.
The sea bed OF the Caspian has been
observed to fluctuate, said the profess
sor in the course of his lecture, so
that at one time the walls of the Kar-
avan-Sarai would be above sea level
and at others would be submerged.
Since 1918 there has been a steady
subsistence. The cause of this sub
sidence is still unexplainable said
Voznesensky, investigation having
shown that 1t has no connection with
the volume of water carried by the
Volga or of the quantity of rainfall.
One theory is that is is due to the
process Of mountain formation still
going on in this region. The eau
casian range is still relatively young
and its mountain chain has not yet
been definitely shaped. This is evil
denced by the numerous eruptions of
mud spouts that are observed in the
region, particularly where the eau
casian range butts into the sea at the
Aspheron peninsula.
Here also is observed the continual
appearance of new rocks. Systematic
observation of the fuctuation of the
level Of the Caspian Sea bed is being
made by the Geographical Committee
of the Society, said Prof voznesensky.

ening the hours Of work permitted in
