Thomas, seeing many vacant seats
in the orchestra circle, refused to lis

Russky Observation-Disclosures, the follow
ing resolution was adopted at the
recent meeting Of the Russian Work
ers' Mutual Aid Society:
After listening to the strike com
mittee and the representative OF the
Typographical Union, the Russian
Workers Mutual Aid Society of Chi
cago finds the cause of the strikers
justified, and therefore promises its
full moral and financial support to the
strikers and the Chicago Typograph-
ical Union No. 16.
I'VE condemn the publishers OF the
Russky Observation-Disclosures for refusing
to recognize the union and for the use
Of scabs in publishing the paper. All
honest workers should force the
bosses OF the paper to recognize the
union and the just demands OF the
workers.
I'VE remind all labor organizations,
individual readers and those who dis
tribute the paper, that It is being
printed by scabs. and request every
body to aid the union and the strikers
to win this fight The Society on its
part win do all its printing in a union
shop, bearing the union label.
For the purpose Of aiding the strfk-
ers we invite all Russian labor organ
izations Of Chicago and vicinity to
elect delegates TO meet in conference
together with representatives Of our
organization. n

the iron heel of imperialism, opened
parliament today and in his speech

with the most shamful sophistry, pro-
claimed yielding to Britain the only
path toward Egypt's independence.
Fuad is everywhere regarded as a

Britain for his total depravity and
willingness to aid Britain butcher half

HINDENBURG TO
AID FASCISTS in
Referendum WAR
Publish Letter in Ger
man Press
tspeeIaI 70 The DaIIy w0rksra

BERLIN, June 10.-Desperate at
tempts are being made by the fascist
monarchist forces to defeat the dis
possession referendum, which is to
take place on June 20. Every avail
able propaganda source is being used
in their fear that the referendum ex-
propriating the royal families may
pass and the proceeds from the sale of
the vast estates be used to aid the I'M
employed, the victims of the imperial
list world war and the poor peasants OF
Germany.
The monarchists have made public
the letter Of President Won linden
burg to State Secretary Won Loebell,
in which Hindenburg declares that he
is opposed to taking away the vast
estates from the royal families and IN
Inmates that If the referendum passes
he will, because Of his allegiance to
the royal family which he "has
served for many years." refuse to
carry It out.
The publication of this letter in a
number Of German newspapers was
looked on as a most desperate attempt
on the part of the fascist and mon
archist groups to defeat the referen-
dunn.
1t was declared that this letter
would only be used in case the senti-
ment of the German workers and
farmers was such that the referen'
dunn might win. In that case the fas.
cists and monarchists declared they
would publish the letter and by
threatening a civil war defeat the ref
erendum.

MANY ACCIDENTS
ARE CAUSED BY
BOSSES NEGLECT
Women Are Victims in
Many Trades

NEW YORK, June 10--Janitresses,
cleaners, hotel and restaurant workers
suffer the majority of accidents to
women, according to an analysis Of
cases made by the Women's Trade
Union League Compensation Service.
The New York league has devoted a
great deal Of its educational work to
organizing laundry workers and hotel
chambermaids-th former supplying
the most serious accident cases. The
accident analysis is contained in the
published convention report of the
league covering its work Of the last
two years.
Many Injuries.
Falls account for the great majority
of accidents to women workers, says
the league report. 80 many jani-
tresses work in such wretched houses
that they are constantly in danger.
These women are nearly all old or
middle-aged. They make very poor
recoveries from accidents. Womep's
injuries fall in the minor injury class,
generally speaking, because women
seldom work at dangerous trades.
Foundries.
"Laundries supply the most serious
accidents to women, particularly due
to machinery. Cuts on glass, broken
dishes, tin boxes, ETC., cause many &C.
cidents with resulting infection to res
taurant and candy workers. Garment
trade accidents are nearly all due to
wire needles and pins, which often de.
velop serious infections. The great
majority of our cases owe their Sc.
rious aspect to infection with the re-
sulting stiffness or lVss OF the mem.
Der. Women's nervous system is SO
constituted that shock often play q
much larger part in her disability than
the injury itself"
Low Wages.
A wage study by the Compensation
Service based on 404 typical cases
shows: n women received between
$40 and SIS a week, 81 between s15
and $40, 40 between $50 and SIS, 81

AssaIl Women's Party.
An attack on the National Women's
Party for its part in defeating New
York's 4S-hour week bill is included
in the report. The Women's Party
members ARE most ardent supporters
of the employers opposition, althC
] their antagonism is always disguised
under the pretense that they are work
ing for equality" The Women's Trade
Union League asserts that IF one
quarter of the energy given to sup
porting the manufacturers lobby were
devoted to constructive legislation
the party might make slight con
tribution to social progress"

ASK COOLIDGE
TO NAME BOARD
OF MEDIATION
r. r. Unions Expect 1t to
Grant Increase

WASHINGTON, June 10.-W. G.
Lee, president, and w. N. Doak, vice
president of the Brotherhood of Rail-
way Trainmen, with L. E. Sheppard,
president of the Order of Railway
Conductors, called at the White House
June 5 and told President Coolidge of
the demand of their membership for a
wage increase.
They reported to him the refusal OF
their demand by the management of
the eastern railroads, and indicated
that they would soon be ready to
bring this dispute before the boards of
adjustment provided in the new Wat
son-Parker rail labor disputes law.
They told him further that there was
every likelihood that the case would
go to the mediation board, which, un-
der the new law, he must appoint.
Rail labor is understood in Wash
ington to be dissatisfied with the time
taken by the railroad management for
setting up the machinery Of direct
discussion between employer and
worker. They also gave the president
their view that he should name the
mediation board Immediately. If medi-
alton fails, the White House must set
up a fact-fnding commission which
shall report on the situation, and this
report must be make public.
Rrotherhoods Ask Wage Increase.
CLEVELAND, June 10.-The Broth
erhood of Locomotive Engineers,
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen,
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen,
the Order of Railway Conductors and
the Switchmen's Union have all asked
for wage increase ranging from 81
to $1.54 per day. The men have con-
ferred in Cleveland, after having re-
ceived an approval of the demand for
wage raise by referendum of the
organizations.
While the locomotive engineers
were meeting in session in Cleveland
word came from New York that the
rail heads representing fifty lines east
of the Mississippi had refused the
wage increase to the conductors and
trainmen. This did not deter the To-
connective engineers, who elected sub
committee Of 81 to get into touch with
the representatives of the other or
ganizations and put up uniform de-
mands.
The reasons given for refusing the
wage increase were that conditions
did not justify it and that it would
mean an added burden of SS5,O0O,OO0
to S95,O0O,OO0 to the railway compa-
MES.
