that production is cheaper in some
other country.
The peculiar marketing system for
coal in England resulted in an intoler-
able swindle of the mine workers and
of the general public. In order to keep
the price of coal down, the miners, &C
tuated by patriotism, made an agree
ment with the coal operators during
the war to sell coal at an advance of
only one dollar a ton over the price
in 1914, and to base wages on that sell
ing price. The coal companies indeed
kept their word, and sold coal at a
low price, but they sold to their own
agents, who then resold at advances
of two or three hundred per cent.
This, and the treatment received by
workers in the trenches, is reason
enough for the unemployed miners not
rushing now to join the army and
navy, as the government has expected
them to do. They fill the work houses
first, or they starve first.
Owners starve Children.
There is much actual starvation in
England now. In sanguinary war,
women and children are non-com-
batants; in industrial war they are
made the greatest sufferers, and in
the British coal strike especially, the
owners and the government are de-
liberately concentrating against them
all their forces. They are using every
means to shut off public relief from
the families, and are stopping the dis.
tribution Of milk to school children.

There is no country where there is
more slavery and brutality than in
England today, during the coal strike"
Accidents For All.
McKenDa described briefly the hard
life, the long hours spent by the miner
going from the entrance of the pit TO
the working place, and the terrible &C.
cident rate, "one-fifth OF all the
miners are injured each year. which
means that either all the miners are
injured every five years, or some are
so unlucky as to be injured more than
once during period Of FIVE years"

CALVIN COOL TO
POWERS CONFAB
ON WORLD COURT
Democrat Snoophound
at Geneva Keyhole

WASHINGTON, Aug. %. The
meeting of the powers in Geneva ten
days hence to decide whether they
can swallow the American reserva.
tions on the world court is engaging
considerably more attention in Wash
ington than is apparent on the sur
face.
The United States did not favor the
conference, and made that fact plain
in declining to send an Official rep.
resentative to attend. But there will
be unofficial observers aplenty at
Geneva, not the least of whom win
be Senator Swanson Cd, of Vir-
ginia, who fathered the reservations
and who shared with Senator Len
root (R), of Wisconsin the leader
ship that put the court thru the sem
ate.
Stationary Vacationlns.
Senator Swanson is ostensibly on
vacation trip to Europe, nearly all
of which he is spending at Geneva.
There is a good deal of speculation
in Washington as to whether his pres
ence at Geneva during the conference
is with the blessing of the disap-
prevail of the administration.
Unofficial Watchers.
There will be regular American d.
plomats at Geneva, too, altho entire
ly ''unofficially," but it is likely that
if the powers want enlightenment on
the reservations it will be to Sena-
tor Swanson they will turn rather
than the spokesman for the state de-
partment.
Issue is Unweleome.
From a purely political viewpoint,
the conference comes at an inoppor-
tune time, too, for the world court
is an issue in several senatorial cleo
lions. 1t is one of the chief issues
in Wisconsin, for example, where the
administration is backing Senator
/ .enroot against the LaFollette organ
zation. For the powers to meet In
he midst Of an American congression-
/ campaign, directing attention anew
the court and perhaps arousing
controversial discussion, is not par
icularly pleasing to administration
officials.

Anton Johannsen, of the Chicago
Federation of Labor and especially in
charge Of McKenna's tour in the Mid

tive of the British miners would be
around Chicago addressing many
union meetings until August 20 when
he would visit Typographical Union
No. Is, which would that day take a
vote on giving thousand dollars for
relief to the British miners. On Fri
day, said Johannsen, the Flat Janitors'
Union gave thousand dollars for re-
lief, and a hundred more for McKen-
mas personal expenses. The Print
ers' Union, German local, in Chicago
on Tuesday took about two minutes
to vote the British miners a thousand
dollars. And so it goes. All local
unions who want to learn the facts
should ask the Chicago Federation Of
Labor for a speaker and all unionists
qualified to speak should get in touch
with the Chicago Federation.

military development thru which cap
italism in the United States aspires
to be the leading military, as we'll as
financial, power.
Founded In 1920.
Prior to the passage of the National
Defense Act of 1916 there were no
civilian training camps in the United
States with the exception of "busi-
aess mems camps" at Plattsburg and
several other places on an extensive
scale, This act provided for Officers
training camps" that grew to huge
proportions during the war. Follow
ing the war in 1920 a lingo lobby
was organized in Washington in which
the moving spirit was the Military
Training Camps Association of the
United States, The name describes
the organization, We will talk about
it later, It was composed largely Of
business men, This lobby succeeded
in amending the defense act to pro-
vide for and finance both the G. M.
T, @, and the R. o. T. G,
Both Have Grown.
In the meantime both organizations
have grown year by year, The con-
gressional appropriation has had to be
enlarged constantly. In 1926 congress
set aside almost six million dollars
or this work. The war department
has created special sections of the
service whose duties are confined to
the new branches. The army has
built up a large and busy publicity
service to propagandize for military
training.
In its program Of extension of mill
tary service the war department has
had the fullest cooperation from large
corporations and colleges largely sub
sidized by the same corporations.
Many large industrial organizations
are known to make it extremely I'M
pleasant for youthful employees who
are asked to go to the camps and who
refuse. There are SO colleges in the
country in which military service in
the R. o. T. C. is compulsory.
Paint Rosy Pictures.
But with a widespread system of
propaganda in operation and with
lively publicity in which camp life" is
painted in the roslest hues for tired
and bored working lads and students,
it is necessary to use only a minimum
of pressure to get recruits.
If they are disappointed in the
camps or the drill squads of the R. O..
A. c. the purpose has been served in
any case and there are thousands of
other lads to draw upon.
The Acknowledgement of the army,
Robert O. Davis, figures that the un.
organized man power reserve of tho
country is over 100000. There is
plenty of material for the militarists
to work on.
We will let Americas arch-militarist
speak for the camps. General John
~. Pershing is quoted by the Military
Training Camps Association as prals-
ing the benefits of civilian military
training in the following words:

NEW YORK CITY, Aug. %. - An
other break in the ranks of the in
dustrial council of the cloak manufac-
turers' association was viewed by
striking cleallmakers' leaders as pre-
saying a general detection from the
councils attitude Of non-negotiation
on the union demands as a settlement
basis. The industrial council member
breaking away and inviting expulsion
from council membership was the
Youthmaid company, 225 West 35th

The company settled on union terms
and other industrial council manufac-
turers are expected to follow, despite
claims by council officials that vote
among it's members shows a large
majority in favor OF refusing to treat
with the union.

total settlements to 1S1, involving

In addition to these meetings,
however, there are many other I'M
ion meetings that McKenna cannot
attend. But these should take action
just the same when they meet this
week.
1t is admitted that it requires the
personal attendance Of some active
worker for the relief drive, especial
ly a visit by McKenna, before real
action can be secured. But this must
not continue to be the case.
It is shown for instance that prac-
tically nothing had been done in
Milwaukee, Wise, until McKenna
visited the city last Wednesday
night. This negative result follows
on the back of a circular letter APP
peal sent out by the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor when II is not sup
ported by an organized effort. AS

ing and should get big results in

Il has already been pointed out
that the great territory west of the
Mississippi River to the coast will
not be touched by any member Of
the miners delegation visiting this
country. If there is no organized
support of the relief drive the appeal
of the A. F. of L., sent thru the
mails, will fall on barren soil. Here
is an instance where rank and file
action can achieve great results.
Topeka, Kansas, for instance has
wired in asking that McKenna be

But this is one OF the first big eff

But it is the duty of every worker

WALL STREET is
MAIN STANCHION
OF BACON BILL
FLUTES Would Grab Big
Slice of Territory
BY HARRY CANNES.

Support for the Bacon bill seems to
be centered mainly IN Wall Street
The Hartman National Bank as well
at the National Bank Of Commerce,
New York, are among the foremost
supporters Of the attempt to separate
the 100000 acres Of rubber lands in
the Philippines from the Luzon terri
tory and in this way defeat the indie.

Who Drafted Bill,
MANY would give something to
know who actually drafted the Bacon
BILL" says the Philippine Republic,
official organ Of the Filipino Press
Bureau in Washington. With the aid
given to the Bacon bill by bankers,
rubber interests, 1t is beginning to be
questioned now whether the attempt
to sever the richest part Of the islands
is not the direct product Of agents Of
various New York banks.
In his reasons for presenting the
bill, Representative Bacon spends
most of his time enumerating the rich
ness of the territory he is designing
to cut loose from the 100000 north
ern Filipinos while fastening a tight
saddle on the 100000 Moros that now
inhabit the island of Mindanao, the
largest single body of land the Bacon
bill proposes to take.
Every Tropical Product.
Bacon points out that in the terri
tory designated in his bill that United
States imperialism could grow every
known tropical product that is needed
for Industrial and commercial pur-
poses in this country.
A recent announcement of the Brit
ish colonial Office regarding the res
friction Of rubber growing will I'M
doubtedly add to the pressure of
American rubber interests in pushing
the Bacon bill. The British colonial
office has announced that it has de-
cided to maintain the pivotal price of
rubber, on which restriction for sue
ceeding quarter will be based, at Is.
Cd. If the average price of spot rub
Der for the current quarter falls be-
low that, restriction will be increased.
The British rubber interests with
the support of the colonial Office using
the Stevenson act, propose to force
the United States rubber industries to
share their super-profts with the Brit
ish controlled rubber monopolists
Ready For Long War.
Both British and American rubber
interests are entrenched for a long
war. The American outpost in this
rubber battle is concentrated in the
Philippines. Governor-GeneralW Wood
has lined himself up with the rubber
trusts. In recent statement he said
"Within the limits of the Archipe-
lago very large areas are in every way
adopted for rubber production.
believe if industry is developed and
we'll handled the Philippines can pro
duce enough rubber fully to supply
their own demands and those of the
United States. recommend that
legislation be enacted TO permit and
encourage the growing of rubber on
a large scale"
Though the goyernor-general has
not to date issued a statement Of his
stand on the Bacon bill it is the con-
irmed general opinion in the Philip
pines that Wood is a staunch support
err of any move that will destroy the
possibilities of independence of the
islands, and that he favors the Bacon
bill.
