the fact that the Black Reichswehr

Every attempt was made by the
Ireactionaries to hide their connec-

who was the brains Of the secret mil

in the Berlin Reichswehr and that the
reactionaries have not attempted to
explain why Schulz had his office in

Tho these plans were nipped in the
bud, it was shown that the Hitler

the reactionary plans.

BY EUGENE VARGA.

THE last quarter of 1925 was rich in
L events. Developments were per-
haps even more contradictory than
usual.
For the United States a continued
improvement of the economic situa-
tion is to be recorded. reaching a
boom which has gone beyond the high
est elimination hitherto attained in
some branches of industry: iron and
steel production, railway traffic, and
building activity. Highly speculative
elements participate: speculation in
building land and buildings, with all
shares at high rates. The subsequent
crisis will be the acuter. The re-
striction on loan capital which is ex-
pressed by the increased rates Of in
terest of the federal banks is perhaps
the first sign of the approaching end
OF the boom.
In England there has been improved
business in heavy industry. but this
is partially due to the artificial slim
ulation Of the coal subsidies, and par.
italy to the strike now lasting for six
months among the anthracite coal
miners in the United States. The
cotton industry is again working short
time. The number of registered un-
employed is only few tens OF thou
sands fewer than last year at this
time. The decrease is only apparent,
the increased strictness and worsen-
ing Of the conditions ATTACHED to the
dole reducing the number Of regis
tered unemployed. The number of
official paupers grows in proportion
AZ the number OF official unemployed
sinks.
E,XCEPT in the United States and
~ in some districts overseas. the last
quarter has brought no advance IN the
sterilization OF capitalism
From the viewpoint of economic
politics the most important event has
kecn the consolidation of the Italian
war debt to the United States. The
United States have accorded ex-
iremely favorable terms to Italy; as
soon as the agreement was concluded
large quantities OF American capital
streamed into Italy. A point Of par
ticular interest Is the unexpected de-

IAlNTI-L YNl,H BILL
NOT ESSENTIAL,

Dyer and Mckinley Use
Measure to Grab Votes
Especial to The Daily worksr)

WASHINGTON, D. c., March IL -
The Overwhelmingly bill that has been
introduced in the senate is not on
the list of Essential legislation" that
Coolidge wants acted upon at this
session Of congress.
Indications are at the capitol that
no attempts will be made to push the
bill. Senator William B. Mckinley Of
Illinois introduced the measure with
no other intention than to capture
the Negro vote in Illinois. His in
iorsement of the Morgan policy of the
world court hasiraised such a resent
ment against him that he is now
posing as a friend of the Negro in a
desperate attempt to be reelected so
that he may aid the Coolidge admins
tration in passing repressiye measures
against workers.
When a vote occurred on the Dyer
anti-lynch bill in one Of the previous
sessions of congress Mckinley was
sick" on that day and was not pres
ent TO cast hisgvote. When IL came
near to election time he introduced
the Dyer bill an over again

ming against him. Dyer was elected
to Congress by the Negro vote but
because Of his vacillating policy to-
wards measures that would protect
the Negro from lynching mobs, Negro
voters are planning to desert him
President Coolidge is doing all that
he can to have congress adjourn in
May long period before the election
so that the administration can repair
some broken-down fences and put
over some of their henchmen. Coo
lidge declared the anti-lynch bill was
too severe because II provided that
three constitute mob and that the
county or city in which a lynching
occurs shall be fined $4,000.

PROGRESSIVE
SHOE WORKERS
FOR REAL union
Demand Fight Against
Wage Cuts
tspseIaI to The oaIIy WORKED

LYNN, Mass, March ~ - The pro
gressive wing OF the Boot and Shoe
Workers Union in an appeal that is
being circulated among the members
of the union call on the membership
to more actively participate in the az
fairs of the union and make It a real
fighting force that can be used
against the bosses that are continual
ly cutting the wages Of the workers.
The appeal points out that the state
board Of arbitration has slashed the
wages Of the shoe workers from 30eo
to 1919. The average wage made by
the shoe workers is about SIS week
thruout the year. II points out that
the cost of living in Lynn is not only
as high as In other cities but that Il
is higher than in cities where work
ers average much higher wages every
week.
In New York City the shoe workers
receive on an average Of $50 TO $50
week. In New York the workers
have the 44.hour week while in Lynn
the 50-hour week prevails.
The prOgressiyes point out that
these conditions prevail because the
shoe workers in New York are well
organized and their leaders do not
bow before arbitration boards and
take whatever the lickspittles OF the
bosses feel like dishing out
The progressives call on the rank
and file TO attend the union meetings
and to demand rank and file control
OF the organization and to see to It
that their officials insist on the A.
hour week and take a militant stand
against wage cuts.

PASsAIc, N. j., March 12-Nearly
half the plant at Lodi walked out on
the first day Of their strike. This Is
the encouraging record of the great
concerted attempt to pull OF the
workers of the United Piece Dye
works at Lodi after representative
workers had come to the united
front committee and asked to be led
in strike.
After a day of demonstrations, a
mass meeting for Lodi workers and
a meeting of regularly elected dele
gates from Lodi with the united front,
the strikers from the dye works
gathered sufficient strength to picket
their own mill with a line 500 strong
and every shift of workers brot addi-
tions to their ranks.
Already the examining, finishing,
drying, shipping, and gray rooms, and
the dye house Of Mill A, involving
1900 workers are out and the other
unit Of the Lodi mill, Mill B, has be-
gun to come out with the finishing
room. The workers are clamoring
that their 1000 fellow workers at the
United Piece Dye works of Paterson
be led in a strike, and the Associated
Silk Workers of that city have been
invited by Albert Weisbord to join
with the united front committee to
organize them in a strike.
These momentous events, presaging
the deepening and widening of the
strike, will mean the extension of re-
lief work within a few weeks. Plans
