BALDWIN FORCES
UNEML DYED TO
BEG ON STREETS
Many Jobless Workers
Lose State Relief
BY LELAND oLps, Federated Pres

BY LELAND oLDs, Federated Press.
Preservation of pauperism as an es-
sential feature Of capitalist society ap-
pears as the British conservative gov
ernment's motive in handling the I'M
employment problem. Prime minister
Baldwin has adopted the simple de-
vice Of arbitrarily cutting tens of
thousands Of unemployed off the num-
Der officially entitled to unemploy-
ment insurance, forcing them into the
class dependent on poor relief, a form
Of municipal charity.
Official figures tell the story which
makes Baldwin's boast that he has
cut down unemployment sound rather
hollow. They show that in the first
full year since conservatives took over
the government from labor 12S,51S
workers were squeezed off the unem-
ployed registers and in the same Pc
Rod 1891 were added to the number
of persons in receipt of poor relief.
That women and children figure in
the pauper roster probably accounts
for the fact that the increase in this
group is nearly double the reduction
in the number officially out of work.
The latest government figures show
1,107,110 persons unemployed and
1,324,000 in receipt or poor relief. The
Daily Herald shows week by week for
the last quarter of 1925 how the de-
cline in the number of unemployed
was paralleled by rise In the num-
Der on poor relief.
The average number on poor relief
at the end Of December for the 4
years preceding the war was 692,S70.
Pauperism has nearly doubled since
1914. The figures show nearly all
this increase in the populous indus
trial centers. In London the number
in receipt of poor relief has increased
from 100000 in December 1918 to
$4,000 IN December 1925.

HongkOng Strikers APP
peal for Support
Especial 10 The DAILY wOrker

MOSCOW, U. S. S. R.-(5y MaiD--
The strike committee Of Hong-Kong
and Canton directed the following APP
peal to the Red international Of Labor
Unions and to the workers Of all
countries:
"For eight months 100000 workers
of Canton and Hong-Kong have been
on strike as a protest against the
shooting down of Chinese by the
bloody servants of foreign imperial
ism. The British colonial government
of Hong-Kong is using all means to
crush the strike. With the assis-
lance of hired assassins it has MUIR
dered our leaders, 1t has attempted to
send troops against lis in order to
crush us thru Chinese military ban
dts and finally it closed our customs
office in order to carry out blockade
against us. Despite all difficulties we
have warded off all the lacks and
we are convinced of our Id victory.
Our strike is an attack against world
imperialism and for this reason we
request your support both morally
and materially in our struggle"
Losovsky, secretary of the r. l. L.
u, sent this appeal on to the CEN
trail council of the trade unions of
the Soviet Union, to the Moscow
committee Of the trade unions and to
the central committees Of all the Rus
sian trade unions with the request to
contribute as much as is possible for
the assistance of the strikers. The
r. I. L. U. and the central council OF
the Union Of the Soviet Republic each
gave 10000 roubles, the Moscow trade
union council, 5000 roubles and the
central committees Of 16 trade unions
together S2,75O roubles.

MOSCOW SHOPS
INCREASE THEIR
TOTAL OUTPUT
Production Is Raised in
Many Industries
tspeeIaI q rhe paIIy w0rIker,

MOSCOW, u. S. S. R. (Tass.), April
20-The industrial enterprises Of the
Moscow Soviet, which are managed by
the Moscow Economic Council, show
steady progress, according to the quar-
terly report of the Moscow Economic
Council, just issued. The total out
put of the enterprises during the first
quarter of the present fiscal year is
stated in the report to be 90,000,000
rubles, showing an increase Of 1853
per cent as compared with the last
quarter Of the preceding year.
The increase of output in certain
of the important branches of industry
was considerably higher For exam
pie, in the textile industry the increase
was 355 per cent, in the metal indus
try 21.9 per cent, in the leather in
dustry 2O.1 per cent and in the cloth
ing industry S4.4 per cent.
Important Industries.
The enterprises managed by the
Moscow Economic Council are those
enterprises in the province of Moscow
regarded as being second in impor-
lance to the enterprises regarded as
of national Importance. In the same
way the enterprises of the same cat
egory in other provinces are managed
by the respective provincial economic
councils. All the provincial and local
economic councils work under the gen.
eral direction and within the economic
plan of the Supreme Economic Coun-
Gil.
Increase in Productivity Of Labor.
The number of workers employed in
the enterprises managed by the Mos
COW Economic Council, states the re-
port, is 100000. In some Of the en-
terprises, the report observes, there
has been an increase in the produc-
tivity of labor.
The report also records an increase
in the turnover of the trading enter
prises of the Moscow Economic Coun-
Gil of 1875 per cent as compared with
the previous year, principally in tex
tiles, food products, leather goods and
clothing.

High British Official
in India Admits that
Prison Heads Falsi6ed

CALCUTTA, April 20-Accusations
that the British government has de-
liberately lied about the conditions
in the prisons of India were made by
Mr.. Goswami, a member of the Indian
Legislative assembly, and admitted to
be true by Sir Alexander Muddiman.
The debate took place over reports
about the political prisoners and the
cruelties and indignities to which they
have been subjected.
The evidence Of these conditions, it
developed, has been suppressed for
IL years, the investigation having
taken place in 1915. At that time
Lieutenant General Mulvaney of the
British army testified under oath that
the treatment of state prisoners was
positively inhumanp but that the
prison authorities made out "mislead-
ing reports" which were deliberately
submitted to the government" He
had submitted report to the inspec-
tor general of prisons expressing his
|disapproval of solitary confinement.
1t was returned to him with the in
structions that he should report that
the prisoners were in solitary confine-
ment and were permitted daily exer-
cises, that they were cheerful, and
that their health had not suffered"
Prisons AS Bad Now
The point Of the matter is that there
has been nothing to indicate the
slightest improvement in prison adj
ministration in the intervening IL
years to the present time. 1t is cur
rently believed that the same sort Of
misrepresentation is still going on by
the officials. These revelations have
strengthened the demand for thoro
avestigation into all phases of the
prison system of India under British
administration.

GOVERNMENT AID
DENIED FARMERS,

Rail Companies Handed
Interest Cut
Especial to The Daily worker)

WASHINGTON, April 20 Altho
the government processes it's inability |
to relieve the suffering among por
tions of the farming population during |
periods of crisis, administration lead |
ers are ready to rush thru congress a |
bill to relieve the railroads of interest |
payments due on their debts to the
treasury by reducing the per cent
interest rate on wartime loans made
them to Az per cent. The loss of
revenue will be approximately S6,0O0,-
600 a year, according to Senator Smith
of South Carolina.
Incidentally the bill brings out the
fact that the proper way for corpora
tions owing large amounts to the gov
eminent to repay such indebtedness is
to have it extended at lower rate of
interest. Small taxpayers, either farm
ars or wage earners, do not receive
such consideration. Their little pro
perties are seized for taxes and sold
If they do not pay promptly. If the
government followed a similar pro-
cedure with the railroads, it would
foreclose on some Of the largest sys-
TENS, in the country, such as the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & st. Paul.
Large Sums Owed.
Senator Gooding, who introduced
the bill and who has had it favorably
reported from the interstate COM
merce committee, submitted supple
mentary report showing that on Feb.
20, 1926, there were 81 railroads owing
the government a total of 1901, 155, 592.
The largest debtors we're: Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul, S35,O00,0 900;
New York, New Haven & Hartford,

$S,O73,O 23; Chicago, Rock Island &
Pacific, 100000; Chicago & Western
Indiana, $7,616OOO.
Farmers Versus Railroads.
Senator Smith, CD of South Caro-
lima, declared that the railroads would
not get a cent in the way of interest
concessions until the farmers of the
southeast who lost their entire crop
last year from the drouth were given
relief. At that time government off,
Gals declared the government was
financially unable, to extend such
relief, just as it is now telling the
corn farmers that no financial aid can
be granted them except in an indirect
manner thru land bank loans.
The Governments Function
In support of quick action on his
bill. Senator Gooding recalled the as
surance gwen the railroads when their
properties were taken over by former
President Woodrow Wilson. Invest

promised, "can rest assured that their
rights will be as scrupulously looked
after by the government as they could
