GERMANS MAKE
PROPOSAL ON
REPA RATIONS
Want Troops Removed
from German Soil

PARIS, May 27--It is reported that
Germany is making a proposal to
France for payment in cash of repara-
tons In order to get the troops of
occupation evacuated from German ter
ritory.
The scheme depends upon capital
izing the PREPARATIONS railroad bonds
by using them as security, backed by
a government guarantee of France to
the investors.
AS the allies have now officially
recognized that Germany is at least
formally disarmed, the troops of occu'
patton remain only to- insure repara-
tion payment. If these can be paid in
cash by capitalizing the future earn
ings of the railroad bonds of Germany
so runs the scheme, the troops have
no reason to remain in German terri
tory.
One of the objections to the scheme,
aside from the high finance method Of
capitalizing debts, is the present cha
otto state Of French finance.
President Schacht of the Reichsbank
is on his way to London to discuss
the plan with Montagu Norman, gov
ernor of the Bank OF England, and
BENJAMIN Strong, Jr., governor Of the
Federal Reserve Bank of the United
States.

modern and most flexible Of union

1.-THE workers Of each mill are or
ganized into q mill workers council.
In each room or shop Of the mill there
is shop chairman OF delegate elected
by the workers and changed by the
workers at any time they see fit to do
so. All of the shop delegates in a
particular factory form themselves in
to factory or mill committee. And
the mill committees from the various
mills of a particular locality are form
ed into a general executive board
which in the present instance is the
United Front Committe of Textile
Workers OF Passaic and Vicinity.
Shop Delegate System.
"These shop delegates are the real
representatives Of the workers. 1t is
the shop delegates who bear the COM
plants of the workmen to the man
agement and provide the only ma
chinery whereby workers can fearless
ly and adequately express their griev-
ances.
Recognition Of Local Union.
What is the real reason why you
refuse to recognize our union? It is
not because the union can not meet
the problems arising from the needs
Of the workers in the industry. It is
because you cannot control our union.
This is the real issue.
what do you propose instead Of
our United Front Committee? You
propose a company union" a boss
controlled union. This is a union only
in name. In fact it is but a machine
used by you to spy upon and terrorize
us more efficiently than ever before.
This has been the case In the Forst-
mann-Huffman Company plant where
it has earned the undying contempt
and hatred of all the honest workers
there. We are far better on with no
union at all than with the trap which
you wish to construct for US, under
the name of 'unionism.'
Reject Company Union.
when did the company union ever
fight for an increase Of wages? When
did the company union ever fight for
shorter hours? The history Of COM
pany unionism' is history of the be-
trayal of the working class. In other
industries just as complicated as you
make out the WOODEN industry to be,
the workers there are organized In
bona fide unions and are fighting the
menace of company unions We Join
forces with those workers in our de-
termination to see that the union
which we have fought for no long and
so well is not stolen from us by clever
phrases.
I'VE have learned the lessons Of
1919. We have come to disbelieve
that you viii ever keep your promises
unless you are forced to. We shall
see to it that we achieve the right to
organize not in phrases but in sub
stance, and that we, the workers, our
selves control our union"

Elect Delegates to Natl
Amalga1nation Meet

LAWRENCE, Mass, May 2S~-The
Lawrence United Front Textile Com
mittee met at its new headquarters,
S1a Common street, yesterday and
elected three delegates to attend the
big amalgamation conference Of tex
tile workers organizations, which will
meet at Hotel Imperial, New York
City, on June 5th and 9Th.
A fund was raised by the organiza-
lions present to pay the expenses of
the delegates to New York. 1t was the
feeling of the committee that all ex-
listing textile workers unions should
amalgamate their forces and that
there should be one union for the tex
tile industry embracing all skilled,
semi-skilled and unskilled into one
powerful organization.

Conditions in the Lawrence mills
are so bad that strike is liable to
break out any moment Because Of
this the United Front Committee has
repeatedly urged the textile workers
of Lawrence to become organized and
prepared. Hundreds of workers have
needed the call, but there are thou
sands of workers in Lawrence. 1t is
felt that this conference win stimulate
the workers to feel the necessity of
becoming organized. That it will

That it will break down the preju-

hours, speeding and doubling up, un-
employment, company unions, and 10

JOHN PAULSTElNER APPOINTED MEMBER HOUSE COMMITTEE;
 SUMMER SCHEDULE ON

A special meeting of the executive committee of the Seward Athletic Club was called to order by Presi- dent Harold Painter last night and in prompt order. Several important matters were given ample discussion and disposed of appropriately.
 A resolution whereby the Women's Athletic Club of Seward may have access to the gymnasium and at the same time contribute to the financial ed out and will be presented to the fair sex immediately.
 Almost unanimously, the desire was expressed that the hall be retained over the summer season, chiefly to accommodate the Boy Scouts, the women's baseball teams and what ever athletic activities the members of the organization wish to partici- pate in.
 The club treasury was somewhat bolstered up by ten dollar donation by Dr. Tyler and the advance pay ment of five months dues by E. L. Swetmann.
 After appointing John Paulsteiner to the House Committee, W. R. Shellhorn, chairman of that body made a request for several improve ments in the hall and announced "a very conceivable plan for taking care of the premises during the next three months.
 On motion the session was ad- journed at 10:00 p. m.

Helena replaced the receiver on the

always taken Col. Hurlburt's devotion

John rather liked the idea of being
paired Off with Mrs. Price.
