Facing this situation, the British
miners leaders urge that at least
greater financial aid be sent from
countries where miners are working
to aid the British to hold out on strike
for several months, but that the

power to stop or decrease the coal
shipment to Great Britain.

NEW YORK CITY, July 23.-Louis
Lyman, chairman Of the General
Strike Committee, representing 10000
striking cIoakmakers, visited Police
Commissioner Mclaughlin to protest
the wholesale arrests of pickets in the
strike zone. II was learned that Com
missioner Mclaughlin desired to be
very sympathetic" to the complaint
of the garment workers, expressing
the desire to "maintaln strict neu-
traiity" in the controversy between
manufacturers and Iobbers on one
side and workers on the other.
Sympathetic, But
1t was stated that Mr.. Lyman adj
vised the police commissioner that
the strikers intend to hold another
mass picketing demonstration next
Monday in the garment zone. Nc
Laughlin disapproved "any demonstra-
ton likely to obstruct traffic. but as
sured the strike leader that several
parades during the strike would not
be objected to. The commissioner ar
ranged for a conference to be held
Thursday at $3.50 p. m. at police head
quarters, in which Capt. Cornelius
Carmody of the West 30th Street sta
ton, under whose orders the whole
sale arrests were made, will partic-
ipate, together with Chief Inspector
Lahey and strike leaders.
Neutral, But
Commissioner Mclaughlin, it was
said, tried to have union leaders abide
by Capt. Carmody's decision as to
what would constitute sufficient
number of pickets at a given shop,
but Mr.. Hyman refused to give his
consent, saying that it was beyond
anybody's Judgment to fix an adequate
number.
Manufacturers against whom the
strike has been called, are unwilling
ly contributing hundreds Of thousands
of dollars to the strike cause thru the
industrys unemployment insurance
fund. To date, since the beginning Of
the strike, more than sS750,O00 has
been paid to 10000 strikers in unem-
ployment benefits, each man or
woman averaging $35.
No Retreat.
Two-thirds of this S750,O00 has been
paid into the fund by the manufac-
turers. 1t is believed that there is
$2,000,000 in the unemployment insur-
ance fund. David Dubinsky, manager
of Cutters Union No 10, in a mass
meeting at Arlington Hall, stressed
the attitude that the strikers will not
give up a single gain made during the
struggles of the past few years.

Support, financial as we'll as moral,
was offered the 10000 strikers yester-
day thru P. Pascal Cosgrove of the

Speaking at Arlington Hall, he inform
ed the cutters that all organized labor
in the city is back of the strike and
that its treasures are upon to the
garment strikers, should there be any
need. He commended the strikers for
their aid to other unions in time of
need and said organized labor would
be glad to reciprocate.

DREMIER POINCAIRE, represent
ing the most reactionary element

with favor on the fascist, is again at
the helm in French politics. 1t is
likely that his cabinet will live longer
than that Of Herriot. 1t is supported
by powerful industrial interests and
will in all probability bask in the
smiles OF the international bankers
Talk of a Dawes plan for France is
now beyond the gossiping stage. The
millions of the House Of Morgan did
not stop the Germans at the Marine
for nothing.
TINE masses Of France are the great
est sufferers in this period of de-
Ginning currency. Yet it is not at all
unlikely that millions of them will
rally TO the idea of dictatorship I'M
der the direction Of the big capitalists.
The socialists hurl thunderbolts at
the Communists because they insist
that a dictatorship OF the workers and
peasants is necessary to reconstruct
the country's economy in the interests
of those who produce. The capitalists
will establish their unfettered rule for
the benefit Of the employing classes.
1t is either one or the other and the
socialists will have the latter because
they spurn the former.

smash. The scion of the famous Van
derbilts then asked his father to pour
a few more millions into his ventures
The old man replied by squeezing his
dough bag little tighter Then the
young fellow disowned his family.
THIS would be hard to bear, but the
tenderhearted reporter assures us
that the Vanderbilts do things in the
Vanderbilt manner. They quarrel but
again they make up. So what's there
for America to worry about? All the
famous Vanderbilts have defled their

Joy Of their parents. This lad who is,
