Infection to Be
Subject of Next
Sundays Talk

The subject Of the Health Talk
at the Sisters Hospital next Sum
day afternoon will be THE Proven
tlon of Infection" The speaker will
be DR.. Napoleon Bison. The whole
trend of modern Medicine is along
Preventive lines. The new concep-
ton of the physician is the person
who can save our bodies from the
ravages of infection or disease,
rather than one who can remedy
the trouble after it is started. Pre-
vention rather than Cure. This
has a sound economic foundation.
One of the means of accomplishing
this is by education of the general
public, and it is with this object in
mind that these weekly Health
Talks are being held.

U. S. MINERS
ASKED TO AID
BRITISH STRIKE
All Must Fight Any
Lower Standards

HAZELTON, Pa, June 13.-Thomas
Kennedy international secretary-treas.
urer Of the United Mine Workers Of
America, announces from his Office
here that all local unions of the U. M.
w. of A. are asked to make donations
to relief funds to be sent to the
Miners Federation of Great Britain in
aid of the British miners fight against
wage cuts and longer hours.
This is in addition to what the an
|nouncement states is a Substantial
sum" already sent by the internatio-
nal Office. The amount of this sum is
not announced, but the u. M. w. of A.,
often assesses the membership one or
two dollars for support of strikers, and
If this were to be done by the organi-
cation in this instance fund Of about
$4,000 could be sent to feed the
British miners in this hour of strug-
gle.
It is felt that aid to the British In
resisting wage cuts and longer hours
is matter of vital interest to Amer
lean miners, as any lowering of
standards abroad, would help the
American operators to beat the Amer
lean miners down below their present
standard, bad as this is.

Long Strike Brings
Real Gains to the
N. Y. Fur Workers
BY ESTHER LOWELL
Federated Press Correspondent.

NEW YORK - (FP) - The 10000
fur workers of New York are breath
ing more freely. Their four months
strike is over and they consider that
they have come out the victors.
The basic 40-hour week, which is so
important to them for the protection
Of their health, has been won. They
still have their ten legal holidays, only
three without pay and these in the
dull months. They have a 1919 in
crease in their minimum wage scales
and a Redistribution of work which
makes a further pay raise for a great
many Of them. No workers can be dis
charged the week before a holiday
the employers old trick to avoid pay
ment for the workers day OF. No ap-
prentices are to be taken on for two
years.
Contract Runs for Three Years.
Overtime is not allowed, except dur
ing the four months from September
to December, inclusive, when employ
ers may hire workers for four hours
extra on Saturday - at extra pay.
There is to be no sectional contract
ing. Other points agreed upon deal
with the more technical phases. The
contract runs for three years, retro
active to Feb. 1, 1926, when the old
agreement expired.
SO ends one of the most determined
fights any union has put up for its
demands. Ben Gold, joint board man
ager who became strike committee
leader, and his associates have the
enthusiastic support of the workers to
whom they brot such real gains by the
long fight.
The only mass demonstration left
for the fur workers now, after so fire.
quent mass picketing marches thru
the manufacturing district, is the
march of the workers back to the
shops when they reopen. About 1000
of the strikers went back in settled
shops weeks before the main body
were thru with their fight. Those who
went back donated literally from their
earnings to the strikers and at all
times showed their staunch support to
their fellow workers.
Victory Enthuses other Workers.
The 40-hour week slogan under
which the fur strikers fought so val
iantly will soon be picked up by the
cloakmakers and the capmakers, both
Of which union groups are now seek
ing new agreements, but for which
they will doubtless have to strike.

GERMAN CRISIS
LOOMS AS june
20 VOTE NEARS
Rights Threaten; Work.
ers' Demand Grows
Especial to The Daily Worker)


BERLIN, June IA. - 1t is only a
few days until the referendum calling
for the appropriation of the property
of German ex-royalty and nobility will
go to vote on June goth. In the mean
time the country is agitated by the
threats Of the right parties foretelling
dire results If the referendum passes
and the widespread demand from the
workers, led by the Communist Party
Of Germanw, for quick appropriation.
100000 Needed.
Twenty million votes are needed to
carry the referendum. Thru the activi-
~ of the Communist Party in a united
front movement with the social-dem-
ocrats, the petition that made the
referendum possible was signed by
twelve and half million voters.
This referendum puts the issue of
monarchism and the right of the state
to appropriate private property square
ly before the German electorate. An
extremely bitter contest is foreseen.
There is little doubt that the neces-
sary votes in addition to the twelve
and half million already pledged can
be acquired to pass the referendum.
Up To Hlndenbure.
Then it remains for Hindenburg to
sign. He is against the referendum.
He will have 10 either sign it or re-
sign. The present Marx cabinet also
hangs IN the balance on this question.
The important sections of the bill
being put to referendum are as fol-
lows:
Article / OF the conhscation bill
reads: "All possessions of the reign
ing houses who, until the 1918 revolu-
ton, ruled in Germany, including the
personal fortunes OF all members OF
such houses, shall be confscated for
the common veal, without indemnifi-
cation. The ownership of said proper
ties shall be vested in the various
states ruled by the said reigning
houses, respectively"
For War Victims.
Article II provides 1.-THE proper
ties to be sequestered shall be applied
in support OF the war victims, widows,
and orphans; pensioners S.s.s snall an
nuitants: needy victims OF the infla-
tion period; small farmers and small
laborers who will be granted allot-
ments OF land out Of the conhscated
landed properties"

Especial to The Daily Worker)
GENEVA, Switzerland, June ID. =,
Brazil has followed the withdrawal OF
its representative from the league
council by complete withdrawal from
membership in the league Of nations
itself. Altho theoretically membership
in the league does not finally expire
until two years after date Of formal
resignation, for all practical purposes
Brazil Is out of the league.
Brazils envoy Saturday handed Sec
rotary General Sir Eric Drummond the
official resignation, altho it was not
made public until late yesterday.
See Hand of U. S.
While the delegates from other ma
tions, particularly the group support
ing the imperialist policy of Britain.
do not talk for publication, none of
them try to conceal their fury at the
action of Brazil which they consider
prompted by the imperialist policy Of
the United States government working
thru diplomatic agents.
Brazil's resignation was the direct
result of the controversy over seats
in the league council. Britain and the
heroes of sLocarno wanted to bring
Germany into the league in the hope
of strengthening the waning power. of
Britain in Europe. American imperial
list rivalry is charged with instigating
Brazil to raise the question of a per-
manent seat on the council in order to
bring split into the league and dis
rupt it.
Everyone recognizes the fact that
the United States follows a double
policy in relation to the league; one to
control it thru subservient states
securing membership on the councils,
the other to destroy it. Either even
tuality will suit its purpose, but it will
not tolerate Britain using the league
in attempts to build up a European
bloc against Wall Street.
