A two billion dollar food trust is being
formed, the purpose of which is to
monopolize the food industry and ex-
plot the entire people as consumers.
This burden falls particularly upon
the women Of the working class.
"In addition this gigantic trust is
one of the worst labor haters IN the
country. Organized labor has not
been able to enter the doors Of the
establishments included in the trust.
Hence the workers as producers also
are directly interested in this trust.
Furthermore, despite the abolition
Of military training from the public
schools of Cleveland, the militarists
are organizing to restore II to the
curriculum. Imperialism menaces
with new wars and working class

on to furnish their sons for new

The league asks that all women's
organizations, parent-teacher associa-
lions, trade unions, fraternal organiza-

FOES OF ITALIAN
DEBT SETTLEMENT
OUTLINE ATTACKS
Places Tax Burden Upon
u. S., Says Norris
Especial to The Daily worksr)

WASHINGTON, March 2S - Altho
administration forces contend Italy
will pay to her "full capacity" under
the $2,042,00O,000 war debt settlement,
the senate's ACKNOWLEDGEMENT al
lance began organizing today for a
battle against ratification of the pact.
The coalition, somewhat weakened
by democratic assertions, will base its
attack upon three points. First, it will
be charged that the settlement dis
plays a "wpeful lack of knowledge"
concerning Italy's resources, second,
that 1t viii cost the American people
hundreds Of millions of dollars in taxa
ton for interest payments on the
money loaned Italy; and third, that
once ratified, all the other debt settle
ments will have to be revised to give
the same lenient terms to Americas
other debtors.
American Taxpayer Hit.
"This settlement places the burden
of paying Italy's war debt upon the
American taxpayer instead of the
Italian taxpayer" was the cryctic
comment OF Senator Norris, republican
of Nebraska, leader Of the insurgents.
His declaration briefly stated the
angle of attack to be followed by the
opposition.
Democrats for Postponement.
Senator Robinson, democrat, of Ar
kansas, the minority leader, announced
he would offer motion to recommit
the settlement "at the proper time
to the senate finance committee.
The debt battle meanwhile faced
temporary lull today while the SEN
ate turned aside to dispose Of the
Woodcock case. It probably will be
resumed tomorrow and continued
next week. There appeared small
likelihood, however, of final decision
before the middle of April because
the Steck-Brookhart case will be
given the right of way sometime next

LAKE SAILORS
MUST COMBAT
STEEL TRUST
Annual Struggle Starts
This Month

CLEVELAND - OPP Two thou
sand lake sailors working out OF Cleve-
land begin their annual struggle with
their steel trust employers this month.
The trust, practically monopolizing
the ore, coal and wheat carrying bust
moss on the lakes, is bitterly antiunion
and has prevented the various lake
unions from enforcing union rules
since 1921 through the blacklist.
Organizations affiliated with the
Int. Seamen's Union enjoy union con-
ditions on passenger boats, car fer
ries and independent carriers. In ad-
dition they wage an unrelenting fight
against steel trust efforts to evade
the LaFollette seamen's act. Work
ing under the handicap that all local
marine attorneys are bought out
heart and soul by the Lake Carriers
Assn, the sailors union has neverthe.
less thwarted scores of efforts to
cheat seamen out of their wages, &C
cording to Secy. E. ]. Sullivan. In
many cases seamen who go ashore for
the evening are declared deserters
and are robbed Of their wages.
Although the LaFollette act forbade
the use of sailors discharge papers
for blacklist purposes, the carriers
evade this by including a character
voyage" line on the card. The cap
tain marks this good, fair or bad in
accordance with the seaman's own
desirability as a nonunion workman

QUAKER OATS, BEECH NUT PACKING
AND BORDEN MILK COMPANIES MAKE
ENORMOUS PROFITS DURING 1925

Do you eat Quaker Oats or Pulled
Wheat? Then you paid your share
Of the exorbitant return which the
owners of the Quaker Oats Co. re-
ceived on their investment.
The 1925 profits, according to the
company's annual report, amounted to
$5,502,74S, giving common stockhold-
ers a return of 1891 on each 500
share. This follows a 1924 profit OF
S37.39 a share. But since 1912 the
owners have seen their stock holdings
more than doubled by stock dividends.
Consequently last years profit really
means a return of ISL on each 500
actually put in by the owners, while
the 1924 profit meant a return of
S77.2O. Altogether $15S.20 on $500 in
2 years is not so bad even for CAPT
talists.
Although Quaker Oats and Pulled
Wheat are the best known products
of this concern, it has found several
other avenues to the consumers

BROWNSVILLE, Pa.-(FP)--John
Goribush, who used to oo the best
coal loader in the Alicia mines of
Monessen Coal and Coke Co., will
never load another car, his doctor
says. His backbone is dislocated and
for two years he has worn, first a
plaster of paris cast, then a steel
jacket. Now the superintendent tells
him to move out of the half Of a

But moving costs money. Out Of his

the huge nonunion concerns that
spread across the coking coal fields of
southwest Pennsylvania, feels itself
above the mining laws. He told the
story of his case there in his little
home, sitting stiffly in his steel jacket
and wincing as the youngsters bumped
against their father in the crowded
quarters.
The boss had taken him off shot fir
ing, better paid but highly dangerous
Job, because he complained at viola
tions of the law that endangered his
life. He went to coal loading and
found conditions far worse than be-
fore. They put him in room where
the rich black coal stood 91a feet
high. A hard place for two men to
timber up; almost impossible for one.
John called for assistance. The boss
refused. Then John begged that at
least he be given some good timbers.

John begged again, and the boss
impatiently told him to take his tools
and get the hell out if he didn't like
it. And, thinking of the six children,
the miner went back to the job as
many another has done.
Then it happened. The cross tim

him in plaster cast. In a year the

Confident Of Ratification.

In the face of this confusing specter,
administration leaders remained conf
dent. Senator Smoot predicted the
vote would be at least Sc to 40 in
favor of ratification.
There will be no attempt made to
limit debate" said Smoot. 81 predict,
however, that the settlement will be
easily ratified"
smoot Leads Fight.
The administration fight to secure
ratification of the $2,O4O,O 100000 Ital-
ian debt settlement was launched by
Smoot, republican of Utah, with a
four-hour appeal for it's consideration
ION its merits and devoid of partisan
politics"
The settlement forces Italy to "pay
to its full capacity" Smoot declared,
better settlement can never be OBJ
tanned, and if the pact is rejected,
Italy viii merely be relieved of all
payments. for an indefinite number Of
years. He closed with a take it or
leave it" dictum to the senate, sup
porting his challenge with a hitherto
unpublished letter from Secretary of
the Treasury Mellon to President
Coolidge.
Letter to Coolidge.
"The settlement" the letter states,
referring to the president, twas ap-
proved by you and was passed by the
house Of representatives. If now the
senate failed to approve the settle
ment, think it would be obvious to
the world that the reason was politi-
cal and not fiscal.
at is my conclusion that the only
practical effect on Italy of a failure to
approve the debt settlement would be
that Italy would be relieved, for the
present at any rate, of any payments
and no settlement more favorable to
the United States would likely be
made in the future"
Shoots Talk.
Smoot touched on a wide range of
ubjects,-Mussolini, Italy's dreams of
conquest, the Tyrol dispute, the Nor
gan loan. All of these, he said in ef-
feet, were "none of the senate's bust
ness" in considering the debt pact.
Smoot delved with meticulous detail
into the national finances of Italy. The
final picture was an Italy paying to its
limit in the settlement with the United
States.
The original Italian debt, Smoot ex-
planned, was s1,64S,000, 900, including
$1,000, 100000 pre-armistice advances
and S64S,000000 postwar loans. To
this was added interest at Az per
cent to December Is, 1922, and inter-
est at per cent from then until June
Is, 1925, the date OF settlement, total
ing $S94,000,00O. The settlement re-
funds this principal OF $2,042, 600, 900
with interest ranging from one
eight Of one per cent during the first
ten years to 2 per cent during the last
seven years of a 62-year amortization
period. The United States, in all, will
receive $2,4O7677,5OO, which includes
future interest payments, totaling
$365,677,5O0.
