the choice of the progressives in our
union.
Leave nothing to miracles. Attend
your local meetings! We must have
our candidate nominated by as many
locals as possible. We must organize
the left wing forces in every local and
diligently fight against reaction. Let
us not only fight against the reaction
airy machine, but work hard to build up
our union, and together with the other
worekrs in the clothing industry,
make our organizations strong, effec-
tive weapons against the employers.
Brother Max j. Sillinsky is the can
didate of the left wing. We must all
work for his nomination and election
as general secretary-treasurer of our
organization.
Left-Wing Program.
In supporting the candidacy of
Brother Sillinsky, you are supporting
the progressive ideas Of the left-wing
in this country, such as amalgamation
Of the needle trade unions, organic
ton of the unorganized, the establish
ing of shop control thru a system of
shop committees, a press free and
open for the expression Of the opin-
ions of the membership.
The left wing stands for the elimina-
ton of useless expenditures on "pie
babies" carried on the pay roll to per-
petuate the job-holders in office. We
propose rank and file organization
committees, directed by energetic, sin
cere. able and earnest leaders, chosen
by the rank and file of the organiza-
ton.

France PLAYS
DOUBLE CROSS
ON R|FF|ANS
Captain Proves BRAND
a Premier Liar
Especial to The Daily Worker,


PARIS, Dec. 31--Refusing to listen
to the message Of Abd-el-krlm, del
ivered thru the British captain, Cor
don Canning, as a movement for
peace by granting krim autonomy
under French and Spanish rule, Pre-
mier BRAND chose war against the
Riffs to begin with spring in alliance
with the Spaniards, who aim to crush
krim with a big campaign after brib-
ing away his tribal supporters.
Canning spoke straight from the
shoulder when BRAND at last refused
to see him. Henceforth, he said, Krim
demanded full independence for the
Riff, and he withdrew the offer of ac-
ceptance of autonomy. He accused
BRAND Of disappearing the peace
terms in his speeches in the cabinet
and the chamber. He said that Krim
is perfectly able to wage war again
in the spring and that supposedly
loyal" tribes were only waiting.
But the shock was greatest to have
Captain Canning say that the French
themselves had sent him to the Riff,
assuring him of hearing if he could
persuade Krim to give up hope of in
dependence for autonomy. This he
did, and then returns to find himself
insulted and this proposal scorned.

LabOr's Hard Lot in Packing Houses

the workers against occupational dis.
ease, or disease aggravated by their
occupation. There are many cases of
diseased workers handling fresh meats
daily and no attention is seemingly
paid to this. The only doctors
examination given is that when the
worker is first employed, and this is
used mostly as a blacklist, instead of
for protection Of food or sanitation.
Eat Lunch in Locker Rooms.
Thirty minutes is allowed for lunch
at noon. In the fertilizer department
the workers dressing room is close
to their work. The other workers OBJ
ject to them coming to their dressing
room on account of the odors. This
compels those workers to remain close
to their foul smelling task during the
entire day.
There is restaurant in the plants,
but service is practically limited to
the Office force on account of the
limited time given for lunch and the
necessity of staying in line during
the rush period for as much as Is
minutes. The workers, especially
during the cold weather, are COM
PEELED to eat their lunch in the dress.
ing room, close to the toilets like
cattle in a barn.
Some Pension System.
There is pension and sick benefit
plan at some of the plants. At Swifts
the workers pay 81 cents per week
and receive Sc minus 81 cents prem.
ium, or $5.46 per week sick benefit
and $500 insurance; also a pension of
half wages after 25 years continuous
service. This, of course, is in effect
only so long as the worker remains in
the service of the company. If you
happen" to get laid off" for week
or more your rating is lost and upon
being re-employed you begin as a new
employe. "Slack up and lose your
pension" During the 25-year period
a maximum of LA weeks sick benefit
is allowed. During the 25 years the
workers pay in $701, over which he
has absolutely no control. This system
is a cunning form of wage cutting. II
is like the card sharper that takes
your life and then hands you carfare
to get to the cemetery.

PRINCE CAROL
STIRS EUROPE
WITH SCANDAL
Rumored Conflict with
Premier Bratiano

BERLIN, Jan. 3.-Rumors of scan
dals over Roumanian aircraft con-
tracts and complications of a prince
involved in fascist plots stir the dy-
nastic circles of European politics to-
day since the abdication of the suces-
sion to the Roumanian throne by
Prince Carol, now in seclusion in
Italy.
Opposes 5ratianos.
Another rumor is that Prince Carol
is liberal oppositionist to the dicta-
torship exercised by the Bratiano bro
theirs, who have practically seized
complete power over Roumanian in
dustry and finance.
Reports are current however, of
Carols completely in an aircraft scan
dsl over government contracts, yet
graft is such an ordinary thing in
Roumanian politics that this could
hardly have Mortified anyone.
Planned Fascist Group.
The princes presence in Italy and
the Roumanian governments attempt
TO get him away from there to some
Scandinavian country" inclines many
to credit the story that Carol was
planning fascist overthrowal of the
Bratiano government. There is a re-
port in Berlin that Premier Bratiano
has resigned.
The public eye is interested largely
from the angle of the prince being
involved in a love affair with various
ly named and Unidentified mistresses,
from blonde Parisienne by the name
Of Lupescu to his morganatic wife Zizl
Lambrino. His official wife. Princess
Helene, is in Roumania with their
son, whose royal succession is also
cut off by Carols abdication.

Often these trucks will tip over and

 Berg was hitting them hard, but his drives gave the Riverview out fielders plenty of chances to star Moore and Mckernan were brilliant in the outfield. Moore's two catches of Bcrg's offerings and his running catch of Patrus' long poke were ill the same class with the work of Mills. Mckernan made a wonderful putout of Blanchard's liner into deep right
 Hubands triple and snyder's single scored the only run for the SoX.
