WHY . WENT ON STRIKE.
BY Teddy TImoehko,
Young Passaic Textile Strlker.

Well, fellow workers, here's my
story. On Monday, January rs, 1926.
at $3.50 a. m, while working on my
machine. about Is or 20 fellows came
by and called the fellow next to me
out, thus leaving the machine without
anyone to take care of the ends.
Well, the foreman came by the ma.
chine and told me to work on the
other fellows machine, too. This was
a very hard task for me. II | had said
novel, you know the rest. Then /
began 10 wonder where Mike Flask
went, for that was the name of the
young fellow working next to me.
About 1915 heard a cry: "Com'on,
fellows, we strike" and / noticed that
those who uttered the cry were the
same fellows who passed us before.
When they reached my machine
Mike said; "Com'on, Teddy" asked
where. He replied: I'VE strike"
When he said that was puzzled; well.
then figured 1t must be because OF
gouging us such as my working on
the other machine which caused all
this.
| dressed and left. We went thru
he rooms calling all the people out.
Come now, fellow workers, organize;
ONE to your meetings, listen to your
saders; II you want any Information,
SIX your delegates these were some
4 the things impressed on the minds
OF the workers.

The Previous Territorial Branches and
the Present Concentration Groups.
HAVING been a member of the
IL Bronx Branch IL, Y. w. L., for
over year, have seen no Commun-
ist activities whatever. The comrades
knew that it was necessary to con-
duct Communist activities, but did not
know how to proceed with the work.
We used to wait for the names Of
young workers to join our ranks. We
used to have meetings, but aside from
this we did nothing.
What did we do at these meetings?
Nothing. All that was heard at them
was: a point Of order, a motion,
amendment, substitution, etc, and the
comrades talking very loudly. This
was the work of our old branches.
And what are we doing now that the
league is reOrganized?
We see that the league actually car
ries on Communist mass activities.

B. & 0. Road Shows
Twenty Million Profit

NEW YORK, March 26 - The own
ers of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road can be well pleased with the
operation of the "B & o plan" The
company has published synopsis of
its annual report for 1925. If certain
favored craftsmen in the roads shops
have benefited by the addition to their
weekly envelope OF a small stipend.
the company's report would indicate
that the workers on the b. & o. as a
whole have been more intensively ex-
plotted the past year than in the year
previous.
The operating expenses Of the road
in 1925 were 179 million. In 1924 they
were only 172 and a half million but
the point is that the operating rev.
enues increased from 224 and third
million in 1924 to 237 and a half mil
lion in 1925. The percentage OF in.
crease in operating expense was 1857
per cent while the increase in revenue
was $50 per cent. It is significant
also that the increase in revenue tons
carried by the road In the reporting
year was almost II per cent over the
previous. Some OF this increase can,
Of course be accounted for by the
generally fair business activity and
the extended resumption Of coal pro-
duction in b. & o. territory but the
figures also show that the degree OF
exploitation OF the workers who make
the present years very good divi.
dends possible has by no means di.
minished.
The company divided almost ten
dollars to its stockholders and
showed a surplus Of over ten million
above the declared dividends for 1925
The b & o balance sheet records as
sets Of over e27 million.

BRITISH PAPERS
CONDEMN COURSE
OF CHAMBERLAIN
Conservatives Prais e
Him Weakly

LONDON, March 26 - Sir Austen
Chamberlain's speech in the house Of
commons last night, in defense of his
policy at Geneva, won him a theoreti.
cal victory, but there is plenty Of evil
dence today that the foreign minister's
difficulties are not over.
The Manchester Guardian voices
anew the demand that Sir Austen give
up his portfolio. This is very in
fluential daily representing the liberal
public opinion of the country. The
opposition press is vigorous in its de-
nunciation of Sir Austen.
Conservative Defense, Perfunetory.
The conservative press, following
the lead of Premier Baldwin, has
rallied to the defense of Sir Austen
in perfunctory manner. The Morning
Post, organ of the ultra-conservatives,
declares the "really important thing
is that, owing to the league of nations,
Europe can not settle her differences
which she could have settled had
there been no such institution, and
the only danger to Europe today is
the league OF nations"
Too Much Publicity.
Chamberlain made a very weak de-
Tense of his actions at Geneva, assert
ing that the widespread publicity in
advance Of the conference had defeat
ed the possibility of any compromise
Of the conflicting national claims. He
refused to add anything to the indie
finite statement of what had happen
ed, as already related in his reports.

APPROVE FRENCH
BUDGET AS FRANC
HITS LOW LEVEL
Scheme for Deficit May
Meet Defeat
Especial to The Daily wOrksr)

PARIS, March 26-With the franc
hitting the lowest level since 1924 and
likely to sink below that record be-
fore the day is over, the French
budget for 1926 was finally approved
by the chamber Of deputies today.
The vote was Ais to 1913.
The financial program thus Ap-
proved provides for expenditures Of
36,451 100000 francs and receipts Of
approximately .32,O0O,OOO,OOO francs.
/ Finance Minister Peret's supplement
tary project TO make up the $780,
100000 franc deficit includes an in
crease of the sales tax. A similar pro-
posal led to the downfall Of one cabj-
net and is hardly likely to be approved
by the present chamber.
Down the Tohougan.
How swiftly French currency is
going the way Of the German mark is
revealed in the fact that at today's
quotation Of 2S francs and 81 confines
to the dollar the franc is worth about
31s cents. The pre-war value was
10 $40 cents. In other words, it is
worth today about one-sixth Of its val
uation in 1918.
Workers Hit Hard.
The results of this fiuctuation in
France are that, as in Germany during
the imitation period, the prices Of COM
modities are rising all the time.
Wages lag far behind, with the result
that the French workers are getting
continually worse of.
For the first time in years unem-
ployment is noticeable. This is due
largely to the uncertainty facing bust
ness because of price instability.
