The Tribune first attacked the Soviet chervonetz. 1t
stated that the price Of the chervonetz Is $40 Evidently

The par value of the chevonetz actually $54 not $1o and

t is certainly ridiculous to assume as the Tribune does
the status Of the Soviet gold currency.
As to the approaching economic collapse which the

such purchases made after the harvest of 1925.
The Tribune wrong again when says that the Soviet
Union obtained $20oo00o0 credit in Germany The credits
actually obtained several times higher, which will not
make the Tribune feel any comfortable. After the first
credit of 1000oo000 gold marks $25000000 another credit
of 300000000 gold marks ($75o0ooo0) received In
keeping with all these other statements is the assertion also

mitted? The Forward has already
used your name and your record. The
Forward collected a fund for you.
Will you permit yourself to become
the shield that covers the dirty work
which the Forward now carries on?
The union in New York has an able,
devoted and militant leadership. Their
only fault" is that they belong to the
left wing and are not the tools of the
Forward machine. Is this a crime
that justifies a conspiracy and opens
attacks from socialist papers in time
of strike? We should like to hear
your opinion on it.
The present situation in the strike
Of the furriers and the attack OF the
Forward is an open scandal which
cannot be hushed up. The furriers
and all class conscious workers want
to hear from you, want to know
whether or not you can stop the
strikebreaking activities OF the For
ward and those that support it. They
want to hear what Debs, an old fighter
for the interests and solidarity OF the
workers has to say.

be initiated by the executive council.

1--WE pledge ourselves that if such
a move is made we will do every

Not Dual Organization.
''The United Front Committee Of
Textile Workers is not a dual or
ganization. 1t does not desire to set
up an organization distinct and
apart from the American Fedora

Dor will make to establish unity in
order to combat the intolerable con

workers and TO organize the In

Of such vital concern to the labor

Machinists Reduce Initia-

BY CARL HAEssLER, Fed. Press.

The machinists' union has reduced
its initiation fee to $3.50 and is APP
preaching workers in big and little
shops to become members. While the
union scale is 95 cents an hour, open
shop machinists' wages are from so
to so cents. Specialists, as the semi
skilled mechanics working at single
operation like punch press or drill
press are called, make even less.
Some corporations like the Interna-
tional Harvester Co. have organized
company unions to keep wages down
and discourage unionism.
Another big organization drive in
Chicago is that of the International
Ladies' Garment Workers. A commit
tee of 500 volunteer organizers is
working to unionize the many open
shops in the dress and cloak indus
try while union conditions are being
enforced in signed shops where pre-
viously the 44-hour week, prohibition
Of piecework and other rules had not

their unsuccessful strike last autumn,
are proceeding with an organized at
tempt to obtain the S-hour day and

COUNTY TO KEEP
OLD INFIRMARY,
DETENTION HOME
Appropriations for Repairs
TO Institutions Included
in Budget. ~

Marion County is to continue using
it's old unsafe infirmary and it's
present juvenile detention home for
another year. it appears from the
county budget, which includes APP
preparations for repairs to both insti-
tutions.
Commissioners had planned to
rae the infirmary and purchase a
site for a new detention home. Both
the institutions have been desig-
mated as fire hazards by the county
grand jury, following inspections.
In the budget, appropriation of
81, 900 is asked for repairs at the In
Urinary. and $475 Is requested for
dentention home improvements.
These amounts, with other appro-
priations, will be considered by the
county council when it meets Sept. I.
AT a meeting last spring the coun-
ell appropriated $1,000 for disman-
Ting the old infirmary building
Commissioners had asked for $4,000.
1t was said then the building would
be removed Immediately However,
commissioners several months later
declared it would be unwise to wreck
sthe four story building because there
would be no place to house the
mates.
Charles o. Sutton, president of the
board of commissioners, said II is
intended first to build an addition at
the infrmary so the aged inmates
may have quarters while the old
building is being RACED. However, the
budget includes no request for APP
preparation for erecting new build
ings at the~inhrmary.
