N. Y. State Government
Plans Safest Vault That
Its Ingenuity Can Devise
BY J. LOUIS ENoDAHL.

the United States, is to be safe and
sound from all harm. But is it?
The power that will finally seize
this precious vault, that will take
ovre the whole state government
in common with the American cap
italist state to end them, will never
make the trip to Albany, or to Wash
ington.
This is the power OF the organized
workers that will abolish the social
system that plans so carefully to
protect It's treasures against fire,
thieves and mob attacks.
The New York state government,
even under the regime of "Al"
Smith who has the support of the
reactionary labor officialdom, is a
weapon in the hands of the master
class to keep the workers in SUBJ
mission. This has been shown re-
peatedly as in the case of the Buff
falo street Garments strike, and
AAOAS AOSShLAy III LuS 4uAAACISs LIE
street Garments and the ladies' gar
ment workers struggles in New
York City.
1t was in New York state that
some Of the most vicious assaults
were made against Communists, re-
sulting in many arrests, convictions
and long terms of Imprisonment for
G. E. Ruthenberg, Benjamin Git
low, Harry Winitsky, I. E. Ferguson,
Jim Larkin and others.
The New York state breed of
American capitalism fears the work
ers. Yet it will not ease its oppres-
sion in the slightest degree. 1t helps
the employers keep wages down,
conditions bad and the workday
long. In the cause of the landlords
it forces intolerable living condi-
tons upon millions of workers, thru
failure to provide proper housing.
The lot of the traction slaves in
New York City is paralleled by the
agony Of the straphangers, mostly
workers. And all the time prices
are high, keeping up the cost Of liv
ing. But never for a moment does
the great flow of golden profits
cease pouring into the lap of the
private owners of wealth. Every
effort is made by the present ruling
class to increase that flow.
This is a condition, of course, that
cannot endure. Labor will in time
end It, under a new leadership that
will displace the present mislead-
ers.
Labor will then take over the cap
italist government to abolish 1t and
establish IN its place a workers
government.
Not all the schemes devised by
capitalist ingenuity, so resourceful
in surrounding its treasure vaults
with all possible safeguards, will
avail against this rising of the work
ers and the realization of their vic
tory.

Population of Ireland
Continues to Drop Tho
Nautilus Isn't Popular

DUBLIN, Aug. 20. = The prelim-
mary report of the Irish census shows
that in fifteen years, from April, 1917
to April, 1926, the population of the
whole Of Ireland decreased from
100000 to 4,229,OOO.
The Free State population decreased
by $4,000 and Northern Ireland in
creased by 5000. Factors contributing
to the Free State decline were emigra-
ton to America and the colonies and
the withdrawal of the British troops
and their dependents.
Generally rural areas show decline
and the towns an increase.

TAKING its cue from the financial
L citadels of Wall Street, the state
government of New York, establish
ed at Albany, is planning in the
words of its architect "the safest
vault that human ingenuity can
devise"
This modern vault" is planned to
hold the $2OO,OOO,OOO in cash and
gilt-edged securities owned by the
state, and will be built into the new
26-story office building to be erected
just west of the Capitol, All burg
lars and safe-blowers, please take
notice.
Perhaps it might be we'll to review
briefly some of the qualities that
will be possessed by this 50x50 vault
that will be proof against fire, safe
crackers, bombs or other explosives
and mob attack.
In case of fire 1t can be flooded
with water. What a tumult when
the alarms go off connected with
sirens outside the building and also
with Albany police headquarters and
the bankers protective system.
1t is declared that the vaults loca-
ton is to be kept a secret. The
specifications and details of con-
struction are supposed to be conf
Dental. No craftsman must worm
his way, of course, into the working
force that will be called on to build
the vault There must be no Sin
side job"
Any job from the outside will be
made doubly difficult because the
walls, floors and roof will be of flint
concrete 4S inches in thickness, re-
inforced by an armor mat of high
grade cold-drawn steel fabric. The
doors win be of the circular type,
two feet in thickness, with a time
lock opened and closed with a con-
cealed electric engine.
The New York Times, very serious
about this matter that so vitality
affects its class, gives us additional
information on its Srst page as fol-
lows:
''The day gate will be of hardened
steel, equipped with a spring-bolt
cylinder lock. A corridor will run all
around 1t and mirrors will enable
guards to see all sides. Three shifts
of armed guards will be on duty
every hour of the day and night.
The expectation is that they will be
former service men, former police
men and detectives.
only accredited representatives
of state departments will have &C
cess to the vault, and they will be
triply identified by photographs,
signatures and fingerprints. State
troopers, it is expected, will provide
additional guards"
So there you are. The 5000, 000,-
600 of wealth of the state of New
York, part of the capitalist state

Ford's German Factory
Fights Shop Nucleus

BERLIN, Aug. 25.-The manage

to exercise their constitutional right
to elect shop council. Ford intro
duced slightly higher wages along

TILLETT TELLS
ny, UNIONISTS
OF Mine STRIKE
Council Urges Local
Union Donations
BY SYLVAN A. PoLLACK.
Especial to The Daily Worker)

NEW YORK CITY, Aug 25.-"We
want millions of dollars to feed the
children!" This was the keynote of
the speech of Ben Tillett, representa-
tive Of the British Trade Union Con-
gress, who is member of the British
miners delegation now in this coun-
try, when speaking before the New
York Central Trades and Labor Coun-
ell.
Council Urges Local Donations
The council, after hearing Tillett
speak, urged all the local unions to
donate as much as possible for the
relief OF the children of the strikers.
Tillett, in speaking, stated that the
general strike was gesture OF a
strength, of sympathy with the coal
miners.
THE government was ABIDE to OBJ
tain volunteers for many kinds of
work. but the gentlemen did not want
to go in the mines, being afraid that
they might dirty themselves" contin-
ued Tillett.
The Next General Strike.
"The next general strike will be OF
more importance, of greater size and
will challenge more.
eve ask you to help us. We will
state the position of our unions. They
are crippled and bankrupt. We are
down, but we are not out, having spent
all Of our money fighting On the
general strike alone we spent over
$4,000, 900.
Why Not Resume the General Strike?
mo unions in England can help us.
The only way the British workers can
help is by adopting children.
Even when they were working six
days a week the miners suffered, hav-
ing to 60 to the poor house for assist
ance.
Capitalism Centralized.
THE. strike has shown the centrali-
cation of capitalism. Not all the
crooks of the last two hundred years
stole as much as capitalism does in
one day. and they do not go to Jail,
nor are they hindered in any way.
"The miners have starved for 16
weeks and will starve for 16 weeks
more, but they will not give in"
Ryan Visits Jimmie Walker.
Joseph Ryan, president of the coun-
ell, reported that he had been in touch

WITT of the Teachers Union.
He stated that Mayor Walker had
promised to live up to his election
promise" 81 am satisfied that labor
will get a square deal from the mayor,
stated Ryan.

Operators Union reported that the
Motion Picture Theater Owners

GRAIN MARKET
(By Dispatch A. P. Wirel


CHICAGO, March %. = Something
like selling stampede took place to-
day near the end of the board of
trade session, and prices plunged to
the lowest level since November,
1925, for wheat, with corn tumbling
to a new bottom record for the sea-
son.
Super excellence of field condition,
both for United States winter wheat
and for spring crop seeding as well,
had much to do with the overthrow
of wheat values, whereas piling UP
of 10000, 900 bushels of corn in Chi
cago went far toward breaking corn
values down. The wheat market
closed nervous, 1%c to SIC net low
er, May new $1.54% to $1.55 and
July $1.94% to $1.95. Corn finished
at 11c to 2Ac loss, bats u to 5sc
off, and provisions showing 7c to 30c
decline.
Opportune fainfalls in southwest
added lustre to the suspicious out
look for the new winter wheat crop,
and when the corn market develop,
ment more and more weakness a
general rush in the wheat market
was led by eastern holders and was
in direct contrast with an earlier
upward trend ascribed to foreign
buying of future deliveries here and
TO unlooked-for higher quotations at
Liverpool, together with smallness
of world shipments and reported
better consumer demand abroad.
First signs of weakness in wheat
were soon followed by similar indi-
cations from Kansas City. Traders
here were quick to infer that flat
tering wheat field conditions Were
being reflected in slackening of de-
mand for flour. Under such circum-
stances, wheat selling gained in-
creasing momentum, and before the
day was ended the market had fallen
in some cases nearly &c a bushel, as
compared with the early top figures.
Notwithstanding 100000 bushels in
crease of the United States visible
supply total, rallies in the final
transactions amounted to only about
re a bushel
Corn and oats showed a downward
tendency almost from the outset.
Corn especially lacked friends. To-
days receipts in Chicago, 337 cars,
We're much in excess of arrivals a
year ago, and shipping call here was
slow. Besides the national increase
of the corn visible supply reported
today, $4,000 bushels was in excess
of the increase both for week and
a year ago.
Provisions averaged lower, sympa
thizing with grain. and with the ac-
ton of hogs.
