FACING
new ATTACKS,
T,U,E.L.T TOLD
Foreign Born, Negroes,
Rail Workers Warned

American imperialistic bosses, in
preparation for an economic war with
Europe, are using the U. S. govern
ment and the trade union bureaucracy
to enforce industrial peace" at home
by splitting up the labor movement
thru new restrictions on the foreign
born, the spread Of company unionism
on the railroads and redistribution
of the Negro workers. This was brot
out forcibly at the regular monthly
meeting of the Trade Union Educa-
tional League.
New bills against the foreign-born"
was discussed by Arne Swabeck, dele
gate to the Chicago Federation of La
nor from the Painters Union; "Class
Collaboration and the Watson-Parker
Bill'' by Pete Jensen, chairman of the
Chicago Switchmen's Line Fedora
ton; and Raising the Color Bar in
the Unions" by c. A. Hathaway of the
Machinists. Jack w. tombstone, T. U.
e. l.. national secretary, was chair
man.
1.-THE intent Of the Aswell, McClin-
took, johnson and other bills against
the foreign-born is obvious" declared
Hwabeck, pointing out their two pri.
mary purposes. First, they are meant
10 drive wedge between the foreign
born and the native-born; and second
ly, to provide a reserve of scab labor.
The conditions making it possible for
foreigners to enter the United States
are to be such as will permit the cap
italists to get Mexicans and other
elements in times of strikes and emer-
gencies."
That the need for all foreign-born
to be provided with certificates of
Identification places them absolutely
in the power of the bosses and police,
was brot out.
Threat to all Workers.
These laws are a threat to the
working class as a whole; some day
we can expect them to be extended
to include the American-born," said
Swabeck. ut is the duty of the T. U.
u. l.. to create mass demonstrations
against them; to take the lead in
forming councils for the protection of
the foreign-born; to send Populations
TO Washington. And we must unite
our forces on labor ticket to rally to
the support of our class politically"
Unions In Danger.
The Watson-Parker bill, which is ex-
pected to pass congress within the
next thirty days, will substitute a
Coolidge-picked labor board for the
present one, taking away all SEM
blance of labor representation and put
ting the present unions on practically
the same basis as the company
unions, Brother Jensen showed With
trade union membership already
greatly reduced it is the purpose of
the Watson.Parker bill to attempt to
kill the unions entirely, establishing
instead semi-company unions endorsed

N. Y. ITALIAN
LEFTWINGERS
OPEN CENTER
To Rally Left Wing
Trade Unionists
Rv NICOLA NAPoLI

NEW YORK-On Sunday February
81, about so Italian trade union left
wingers inaugurated their progressive
center at AZ Third Ave-, with a mem
orable banquet.
Comrade Enea Sormenti was the
'toastmaster." From beginning to end
we were much impressed by the cor
dial and fraternal spirit which ami
mated all the guests. The banquet was
well prepared and the small hall of
the headquarters of the Italian pro-
gressiyes was completely filed. While
the coffee was served, the POSTMASTER
introduced the first speaker, Comrade
Marx, who very clearly expressed the
importance of an Italian progressive
center in New York. His brief speech
caused enthusiasm particularly when
he promised the support of the Jewish
comrades.
The next speaker was Comrade
lack, well known amongst the Italian
workers, who agreed with and con-
frmed the general line of the previous
one. He spoke of the necessity of
organizing the Italian elements in the
various locals against the present
bureaucracy. "Only when the Italian
and foreign workers are we'll organ
lied and militant can they prevent
the passing in congress of anti-for-
eign-born laws" Others followed. We
listened to AMIGO, Fuggetta, Caico,
secretary of the center, Biazzo, the
persistent organizer of the Italian left
wingers in the Amalgamated Clothing
Workers, etc. They unanimously con-
demned Luigi Antonini, Salvatore
Ninfo of the Sigman machine and
their tactics were justly compared
with those of the fascist dictator in
Italy. They hailed the new center
of Italian progressives as a first big
step toward the organization Of
sound progressive movement among
the Italians.
We are glad that good number OF
Italians after long and effective work,
has finally come together with the
main purpose of educating the Italian
workers, to organize strong progress.
sive groups within the reactionary To-
calls of the A. c. w. Of A. and of the
|. L. G. w. U. and to overthrow their
dictators, who today, rule and des-
pise the interests of the organized
working class.
While II Nuovo Monde, the yellow
organ OF the trade union burocrats
was severely condemned, II Lavora-
tore was greeted as the only Italian
paper that has continuously and effec-
lively fought for the victory OF the
Italian left wing in the unions.
The II Lavoratore shall continue
this fight and shall Away support the
progressives in their locals until the
burocrats shall be deprived of their
positions.
After the speeches a collection was
made for the benefit of two victims
OF the fascist terror in Italy, and for
the anthracite strike.
We sincerely hope that all italian
workers will give their earnest sup
port and join this new progressive
center which should develop into
large mass movement ready to fight
and defeat all the labor takers and
treacherous ofticialdom OF the trade
unions.

this means a years profit Of more
than 400 per cent. In 1924 the prof
its amounted to S25.72 share, ap-
proximately 257 per cent.
geo Per Cent Profit in TWO Years.
Here are two years during which a
single real estate firm has made 66e
per cent on, the value of its common
stock by establishing a toll gate on
the road which leads worker to own
ership of a home. The regular cash
dividend is 30 per cent, the remainder
Of the profit going into surplus. Out
Of this surplus H. o. Stone has Just
paid 10 per cent stock dividend and
there is the promise of similar or
larger stock dividends over the next
few years.
Gypsum Gets s15.45 a Share.
Another excessive toll exacted from

annual report of the United States
Gypsum company, U. s. Gypsums
profit of sl0,474,3O2 means, after all
deductions including preferred divi.
dends, return Of $15.45 a share Of
common stock. The par value Of the
stock is $40. Stock dividends in re-
cent years total about 116 per cent.
Consequently the 1925 return on the
original investment really amounts to
1917 per cent.
Gypsum is a leading manufacturer
Of building materials. It produces
hard-wall plasters, cement, wood fiber,
stucco, fireproof partition, floor tile.
roof tile, sheetrock and other plaster
boards. 1t is the largest producer in
its field in the world doing about 40
per cent Of the business in the United
States. The huge profits from this
business have enabled It to pay cash
dividends ranging as high as 81 per
cent in year, equivalent to more
than go per cent on the real invest
ment.
Illinois Brick company belongs in
the same group of profiteers at the
expense of home seekers. Its 1925
profit of $1,oS6,292 means a return of
$5.51 share on the common stock.
But as the Stock has a s25 par value
this is a profit of 20 per cent.
United States Radiator company
with contrt4e OF IL per cent to Is per
cent of thelcountry's radiator business
will report a profit of between s27 and
$40 on each 800 share for the year
ended JAM 81, 1926. The Bucyrus
company, largest manufacturer Of
steam shovels and excavating maehin-
cry in the world, is expected to show
about $S5 on each $500 share OF COM
mon stock. Last years Bucyrus prof
its amounted to $3023 a share. For
the last s years the average has been
nearly $40 share.
Such profits show one good reason
why the cost of housing remains high.
Some Of the concerns, like Illinois
Brick, have accumulated excess prof
its in liberty bonds to such an extent
that the interest is expected to pay
dividends on the stock when business
is slack and the real workers cool
their heels at home without jobs or
wages
