Hungarian Fascist
Try to Block Probe
of Horthy Forgery

BUDAPEST, Jan. 1O--It is reported
that the Hungarian cabinet is consider
ing the arrest of Richard Barta, priv
ate secretary to the regent, Admiral
Horthy, the murderous dictator who
overthrow the Hungarian Soviet and
massacred thousands. Also consider
ed is the arrest of a secretary in
Premier Bethlen's office, both over the
gigantic counterfeiting plot of coming
French francs to the sum of 100000
100000.
1t is officially denied-by the cabin
et-that members of the cabinet are
implicated. But there are signs Of
friction in the cabinet and those
identified with Horthy and the fasc-
lists are doing all they can to block
Premier Bethlen from exposing
Horthy, who is said to be deep in the
whole plot.

LONDON-(FP One hundred and
seventy-eight British ships have sailed
without radio operators, and others
without the full number of operators,
since the beginning of the radio

ures. This breach Of the law, which
endangers passengers and crews alike,

NEAR 100000
MEMBERS IN The
RUSSIAN UNIONS
Larger Than Any One
Country of World

MosCoW-(FP)-The 1925 mem
bership figures of the Russian trade
unions-6,9 $50, 000-represent an in
crease of more than 100000 since
October 1918, when the organized
workers numbered $4,000, and
present remarkable contrast to
czarist days when membership huc-
tuated around 100000 Over 900 of
all hired workers and employees are
now organized in the trade unions.
The Russian unions are industrial
in form, 1.4OO local organizations
throughout the country being ANAL
gamated into 20 central organizations,
and are based on the factory unit, the
union taking in every worker in the
factory from Waterman to chief en-
gineer.
The Russian trade union movement
is larger by 100000 members than
any other trade union movement in
the world. Great Britain comes second
with 4,343,O00 trade unionists and
Germany about 100000.
The trade unions of Soviet Russia
publish % newspapers of them
dailies-and SO magazines. In addition
there are 80 trade union bulletins, and
a large number of small publications
and wall newspapers which are posted
up in the factories. Total circulation
of the trade union newspapers is
9S1,2 and of the magazines 907, SEQ.
These are in addition to the circula-
ton of government, local soviet and
Communist party papers.
The Russian unions in 1923 publish
ed 300 books, in 1924, 794. Ten per
cent of the income of the Russian
trade unions is devoted to educational
work. Employers are compelled by
existing collective agreements to pay
about 20 of the payroll into the union
cultural-educational fund. Workers
clubs are a feature. There is one such
club to every 1000 trade union mem
bers, the majority of the clubs being
at the factories.
Social insurance rests wholly
upon the employers. Some 100000
people are insured against loss of in
come, whether on account of illness,
confinement, disability, or unemploy-
ment. The social insurance budget
this year amounts to $SO0,OOO,OOO.
During the summer season of 1925
local sanitariums treated $4,000 peo-
pie, while 1900 persons were sent
to health resorts, all at the expense of
the social insurance bureaus. Over
10000 people received sanitarium
treatment at the health resorts at the
expense Of economic institutions, the
trade unions and cooperatives.

One Arbitrator Says
Another Was Unfair

NEW HAVEN, Conn.-FP)-Con.
necticut Co motormen, conductors and
bus drivers had an unfair chairman
on the arbitration committee which
decided that they should not get wage
increases. Arbitrator James H. Va
hey charges that chairman Charles
Kleiner was antagonistic to the en-
ployes, and, so far as he was con-
cerned, the whole case was conduct
ed with the manifest idea of trying to
discredit the witnesses who were call-
ed in their behalf" Valley says in
his IA years arbitration experience
he has never met more unsympathe-
tic arbitrator than Kleiner. The
award leaves wages as they are to
June 1, 1926, except for a slight in
crease to one-man car operators.

UNION OFFICERS
SUE AUSTRALIA
AFTER RELEASE
Deportation Charge Is
Quashed by Court

SYDNEY-(FP)-on the morning
Of Nov. 20, the federal government
of Australia arrested Thomas Walsh
and Jacob Johnson, general president
and assistant secretary of the Austria
han Seamens union. They were
dragged from their homes at day
break to await deportation from Aus
tralia. The supreme court has since
uuashed the order and the men are
suing for damages.
Deportation was ordered under a
special law recently passed, it being
held that both men had been hinder.
ing trade and commerce and that
their presence in Australia would be
injurious to the peace, order and
good government of the country" The
government stated that the wives and
families of the two men would be
allowed to accompany them from
Australia. Walsh has been in Austria.
liza 33 years. has a wife and seven
children; while Johnson has been
in Australia for 10 years and had a
wife and one child.
The courts were invoked for a
writ of habeas corpus demanding re.
lease on the ground that deportation
was illegal inasmuch as Walsh was
British citizen and resident of
Australia before the federal law came
into operation, while Johnson as a
naturalized Australian citizen was
beyond the Jurisdiction Of the depor.
tation law.

FRENCH UNIONS
MAKE A UNITED
FRONT ON WAGES
Get Together on This
Despite Split
BY LEN DE cAux.

PARIS-(FP)-Tra union unity
to the extent of drawing up unified
wage demand has been achieved by
the organizations of French railway
men. The demand is for a fixed
minimum wage of 1000 francs Il
franc, cents) with a movable scale
above that amount varying with the
cost of living and based on a present
minimum of TAO francs. The reform
list federation of labor &C. G. To, the
radical federation &C. G.. T. ID and
neutral craft unions catering for rail.
waymen united in the consultations
leading to this joint demand. 15O,-
900 union men were represented.
The French trade union movement
is badly split as there are three ma
tional trade union bodies, the c. G.
T., the G. G. T. u. and a Federation
of Autonomous Unions. Feeling is bit
ter. Consequently it is quite an
achievement that the rival rail unions
should have drawn up common de-
mand, even though their cooperation
HA~y Nv 81 AAuSn AuIIuGI. lulS is the
second occasion on which the rail
unions have achieved a temporary
united front, the former being the
Tours conference when the unions
made common demand for the re-
instatement of railroad workers vic
timized for their activity in the big
general railroad strike some years
ago.
This split in the ranks of French
labor is not so serious in number
of industries as it might seem. French
unionism is decentraIzed,. and the
local is still the most important unit
But this does not apply to such in
dustries as the railroads, where ma
tional action is imperative. A SINH
lar division on lesser scale arose
In Germany owing to the expulsions
OF Communist railroadmen who then
formed a rival union, but this was
healed recently by the readmission of
the opposition union into the parent
organization.

Cleveland Federation
Sends Strike Relief

CLEVELAND-(FP)-Local unions
dragged Christmas out of Cleveland's
debauch of commercialism when they
forwarded large shipments of clothes
and food to the striking West Virginia
and Ohio coal miners. The Fairmont
and Charleston districts received the
bulk of the donations, sent by the
Cleveland Federation of Labor and
affiliated unions. The federation voted
$500 for relief work.
