Young Farm Hands
Exploited in Canada

WINNIPEG, Canada.-The condi-
tons of young farm hands imported
into this country thru Turing promises
is partly described as follows:
There are many cases known to us
personally of boys who have worked
for months and got no wages, and the
board and room provided on the farms
is often worse than anything any de-
cent boy has ever known.
The hours are long and the work
hard and heavy, the pay small and in
most cases irregular. And this not
always because the employer is more
or less unprincipled, tho that is only
too often the case, but because his
economic status is often so low that
he is glad to take advantage of a boy
immigrant and set him to do mans
work at such wages as Sc, or about 24s,
a month.
Just imagine how far Sc will go in
this country of high costs: Boots at
least $3.50, overalls $3.50, shirt $3.50,
and socks 81. In addition, he must
pay back the cost of transportation to
the charitable society to which he
owes it.

.SOVIETS Give

MONEY COLLAPSE
State Bank Report Nails
Falsehoods

MOSCOW, U. S. S. R, (Tass), May
26.-Rumors as to the instability of
the chervonets and the approaching
collapse of Soviet CURRENCY are COM
pletely dispersed by the report of the
emission department of the State Bank,
which shows that during March the
amount of notes issued was reduced
by 34,S0O,O0 roubles, while during the
last two weeks of March chervontsi
to the amount of 1S,1OO,00O roubles
were withdrawn from circulation.
On April l, according to the report,
banknotes were transferred to the
State Bank to the amount of 742,-
100000 roubles, leaving a safe margin
of emission right of 55,9OO,0OO roubles.
The gold and other backing of the
chervontsi increased during March
from 225, 100000 roubles to $500, 900
roubles. With the reduction Of ennis
sions the backing has increased rela-
lively and absolutely. On April 1
the total securities of the State Bank
amounted to 1851, 100000 roubles as
against 54,600,000 roubles on March
16. With firm control being main
tanned on the issue of banknotes on
the one hand and the weight of the
state and cooperative trading organi-
cations being thrown on the side of
keeping down prices on the other, no
fears are entertained as to the sta
bility of the currency.

SMALL ATTEMPTS
TO WHITEWASH
HIS HENCHMEN
VIII County Jury May
Ask Whitman to Resign

JOLIET, ILL.,, May 26.-Abolition OF
the Joliet prison honor farm and a
demand for the resignation of Warden
John L. Whitman may be made by the
VIII county grand jury following the
testimony of Governor Len Small.
Len Small before the jury denied
that any of the prisoners had received
paroles or pardons for stipulated sums
and brought statistical charts before
the jury to show that less prisoners
were paroled or pardoned during his
administration than in any previous
administration. He also brought out
that the number of convjcts that must
serve their maximum sentences had
increased.
Small Assais Whitman.
He assaulted Warden Whitman, who
is exposing the connections of the
Len Small appointee ON the pardon
and parole board with pardon mills
and parole fixers in one of the Chicago
papers, declaring that if the prison
discipline had not been so lax under
Whitmans administration. Deputy
Warden Peter Klein would be alive to-
day. Whitman in his testimony be-
fore the CrOwe-Carlstrom special
grand jury in Cook county pointed out
that he had repeatedly protested to
Chauncey Jenkins, head of the state
welfare department and supervisor OF
prisons against tire lack Of discipline
due to the actions of the Deputy
Warden Klein assuming the functions
of warden. He pointed out that poll
ticians threatened him with loss Of
his job if he did not allow Klein to
do as he pleased.
Demand Whitman Resign.
The Will county grand jury after
listening to this whitewash issuance
Of the paroles and pardons by Ler
Small is expected to draw up a re
port in which it will recommend thai
the prison farm be abolished and that
Warden Whitman be asked to resign
Whitman has now been barred from
access to any of the records of the
parole and pardons board. The com
binations on the safes containing
these records have been changed al
the order of Chauncey jenkins.
Fear Publicity on Paroles.
This method was resorted to by
Jenkins in an effort to keep Whit
man from making public some of the
records of the thousands of paroles
and pardons granted and also to cover
up connections between the Small ma
chine and notorious gangsters and
gunner that have been released fol
stipulated sums of money.

GEORGIA SEEKS
RETURN OF Lash
TO PRISON CAMP
Medieval Tortures Used
on oad-Gang
BY JACK METTE, Federated pres

BY JACK METTE, Federated Press.
SAVANNAH, Ga-z1(FP)-A strong
appeal is being made for the return
of the lash in the Georgia road camps.
Flogging was abolished in 1925 by the
legislature.
Every imaginable substitute pun
ishment has been resorted to by chain
gang officials. In one prison camp
they tie a prisoner in a shallow box
and smear molasses. over his face
leaving him powerless to brush away
the mass of flies.
In another camp visited by The Fed.
Grated Press they tie a prisoner with
his back to post, the hands tied just
high enough to make him stand on
his toes.
In other camps were found stocks
such as were used by the Puritans
Some had devised sweat boxes where
the convict was locked in a box just
large enough to hold him and with
one or two holes through which tc
breathe. When the convict was re
leased from his torture chamber he
would be in state of near collapse
and in many cases would have to be
carted off to the hospital.
A large number Of the prisoners are
mere boys often from northern states
picked UP for tramping or hoboing
and given three to six months at hard
labor on the public roads.

YOUNG WORKERS OF PENNSYLVANIA
VICTIMS OF INCREASED DEATH TOLL

The Workers Health Bureau, which
sent out a call to hold its meeting in
Erie Of the delegates to the Fedora
ton convention, made some Very in
terestine statements on the amount Of
lives sacrificed in building up the in
dustries and making profit for the coal
and steel barons.
1t stated that Pennsylvania has the
record of twice as many workers
killed in 1926 as in any other state
in the union. Industrial deaths were
2,309, 175,00O non-fatal accidents, 49,
600 compensate accidents. In the
mining industry alone there are $4,000
accidents in the anthracite field and
$4,000 in the bituminous coal field.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-05-28

These records were taken from the
year of 1924. All indications show that
the accidents and industrial deaths
are on the increase in the state OF
Pennsylvania.
This affects the young workers very
much, for they are usually the ones
that are inexperienced, young and
overworked. The conference decided
that the present $42 a month be re-
pealed and that union wage, instead,
should be established, not only for ac-
cidents in industry but each and every
one of the occupational diseases which
the workers get in Shaving to create
profit for the ruling class in Penn
sylvania.

NEW YORK, May 26.-"In spite of

in the safety movement, the number

Young Miners Have
Dangerous Jobs

The young miners, because Of the
Importance of their work, deserve the
very best of conditions, but in reality
endure the worst. This can be seen,
for instance, from the fact that the
United States Fidelity and Guaranty
Company of Baltimore, the largest and
pioneer bonding and casualty concern
in this country, has announced that dt
will accept no more workers compen-
sation and employers liability risks
from the coal mining industry. There
are two many hazards for the young
miners to make this business profit
able.

many additional unions in New York
including locals of the Carpenters, the
Shoe Workers, Metal Trades unions,
Hotel Workers, Bakers, BARRIERS and
various miscellaneous trades, are also
in favor Of the uniting of labors
forces politically.
AS far as the Needle Trades Unions
and the Shoe Workers unions are
concerned, bitter experience has
taught them that such unity as step
towards a labor government in New
York City and state is crying neces-
sity. During the furriers' strike,
which is still in progress and which
is regarded as a peaceful strike, 3"
over 600 separate arrests have been
made by the police of New York City

Gil of New York City.
Fight Iniunetions.
The I. L. G. w. U, altho it has not
been on general strike during the past
year, has ample experience to justify
it in fighting with all its strength for
a labor government in the city and
state. The interference of the gov
ernor of the state Of New York, in the
so-called governors commission; the
series of injunctions levelled at the
Needle Trades unions eliminating in
such astounding injunctions as that
issued to the International Tailoring
Co.; terrorization by gangsters employ
ed now by the bosses and now by reac-
tionary bureaucrats and always pro-
tected by the New York police-these
are only a few of the experiences that
have taught the Needle Trades work
ers the necessity for labor party and
the general srtike which is about to
begin will bring many more such ex-
periences. The shoe workers, in their
recent strikes and in the strike now
IN progress, have again and again
faced police intimidations, clubbings,
injunctions and arrests, and a new
crop of assaults and arrests is now be-
ing harvested in the strike of the
American Shoe Workers Protective

LADY DOUGLAS SUIT
NOW OUT OF COURT
Charge That Husband, Prince
Durham, Obtained Money by
Fraud, IseDropped.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
VIENNA, January 30.-The suit
brought by the former Lady Sholto-
Douglas against her present husband,
Prince Burhan, son of the late Sultan
Abdul Hamid of Turkey, for the re-
turn of { 500 and 500. 900 francs alleged
to have been obtained by the prince
through fraud when he married her
has been settled out of court.
The attorney for Lady Douglas said
she had got back a goodly part of the
money in question, although in max
ing the settlements he had to take into
account that the action of the League
of Nations in giving Great Britain the
mandate over Mosul had ruined the
prince whose estates are there.
The lawyer added that he expected
an annulment of the marriage of Lady
Douglas and the prince will be an
nounced shortly by the Austrian court.
The annulment is asked on the ground
that the union was Illegal because 1t
was not registered by the civil magis-
trate at Marienbad, where the we'd
ding took place.
After the divorce of Lady Douglas
and Lord Douglas, who is son of the
eighth Marquis of Queensberry, Lady
Douglas met the prince on the Riviera
She charges that she unknowingly
went through an illegal marriage with
him in May Of last year. and says
when the prince spent the money that
she had given him he told her to go
and bring more. She left the Turkish
prince in August, three months after
the marriage ceremony.
