a gala night.
1t seemed to her that the street was
very dark, as she alighted from the
car In Southport and started toward
home.
Most OF the blinds were drawn In
the houses along the way, and most
of the street lamps were dark. Bar
bara put her hand in her pocket and
clutched the tickets. AS she walked
briskly along. she hummed pur'
poseless little tune.
When she nesred her home. she
saw that the house was dark. except
for light in her mothers room up
stairs. She unlocked the door hur
riedly and stepped into the hall. At
sound of the door, someone had
switched the light on from upstairs.
A woman came running down the
steps, Barbara recognized her as
Mrs. Bryan. the new next-door
neighbor.
"Dont be frightened" said the
woman. I'VE hope it's nothing too
serious, but your mother, has had
some kind of stroke"
or sTRoKE?" Barbara voice
al was scarcely more than a

Mrs. Bryan nodded. THE doctor
hasn't come yet. I had just come
ever to borrow an egg and found
her lying on the kitche hfioor. She's
coming to now, and think she'll be
all right"
Barbara brushed past her and ran
up the steps.
Mrs Goodhue. another neighbor,
bent over the bed I'm which her
mother lay. Someone had tied a
piece of paper around the light bulb,
so that It cast a circle OF shadow
across the bed. Barbara could not
see her mothers face.
She tiptoed to the bed. The neigh
Dor turned and put her finger on her
lips. Mrs Hawley lay with her
eyes closed. her face white on the
pillow.

north OF 27th st. Ever since few
Negro families moved south OF the
27th 81. line the property owners have
been on the warpath. The plan that
the association intends to carry thru
is to have condemned one block Of
property that has Negro and white
residents. This block Is then to be-
come part Of Spring Valley and Troost
Parks In order to separate the two
districts.
The Negro residential district Of
Kansas City is congested. 1t is over

French Financial Mix
Gives Stock Exchange
of N. Y. Exciting Time

NEW YORK, July 2S.-Capitalizing
the extreme uncertainty and uneasi-
ness in the worlds financial markets
with respect to the French political
and economic situation, the weakened
technical position Of the stock market
occasioned by the rapid advance in
prices, and the prospect of an advance
in the rediscount rate of the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York after the
close Of the market today, bearish
professionals launched a vicious drive
against the market today.
Most of the selling pressure was di-
rected against the speculative leaders
in the motor and steel stocks, with
General Motors, Hudson Motors, Cast
Iron Pipe and United States Steel as
the special targets. After reaching
the highest prices on the movement,
these stocks fell back in confusion
from two to seven points. The bears
industriously circulated reports that
no special dividends would be forth
coming this year to stockholders of
the United States Steel Corporation.
Seasoned railroad stocks were the
last to join the downward swing, and
losses in that section were compare

cause further unsettlement in the oil

Imperialist Front

SHANGHAI. July 23.-The foreign
imperialist business men here are
much chagrined and angry at the CON
tinued advance Of the national liberia
ton movement which has placed the
imperialist powers into state of help,
less and confused rivalry. The Brit
ish and Americans here are taking
out their crouch on their nations di-
plomatic representatives in China.
Attack Their Diplomats.
The British papers in Shanghai are
bitterly criticizing the whole diplo-
matte corps at Picking, pointing out
that it allows violations of the 1901
protocol-written long before China
awakened and which was forced upon
it-citing the blockading of the lega-
ton quarter recently for several hours
while Chang Tso-lin was entering the
city. This criticism of Changs acts
is a part of British anger at Japan,
however, as Chang is Japan's prize
native militarist.

munications to Washington that the

over the Shanghai mixed court to
Chinese-altho this rendition was
promised China for years.
A protest meeting against this &C
ton on the part of foreign lawyers
was held, it is to be noted, in the
courtroom Of the United States.
Canton Troops Add to Woe.
The gloomy outlook for a continue
ton of foreign rule in China is still
further darkened by the advance of
the Canton nationalist troops to the
north, endangering WI Pei-fu.

over the old system when overtime
was unlimited. This, however, was a
compromise that must be wiped out
in the next agreement.
The minimum wage increase of ten
per cent was a compromise from the
original demand, but II this is to be
considered defeat, then there have
been very few victories won In the
labor movement.
The revision of second class work
and the limiting It to a designated
number of skins is in reality further
wage increase. How many members
Of the union II affects I do not
know, but it takes approximately As
types OF skins out of second class
work and places them in the first
class.
Union Control.
Under the old agreement the indus.
try was overrin with foremen. The
new agreement abolishes this evil, the
union deciding when the manufac.
turer is entitled to hire foreman.
The discriminating practice Of the
employer, allowed under the agree
ment, to fire as many of the workers
as he could prior to a holiday so as
he would not have to pay for It, has
been eliminated. No worker now can
be discharged in the week preceding
holiday week. This. the beginning
OF taking away the right of the EN-.
ployer to hire and FIRE workers as
he chooses.
Under the old agreement the manu-.
facturer had the right to send out TO
contractors any section of a garment.
This has been changed 80 that now
the entire garment has to be made
on the same premises.
Many other points of the agreement
could be quoted TO prove to those OF
unbiased mind that the ending OF the
strike was a victory for the workers
and not a defeat. However, there were
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-07-25

number Of mistakes made that must
be admitted and criticized by the
strike leaders, If that has not already
been done.
Some Mistakes.
The clause abolishing apprentices
Is not the way a left wing should
handle this problem. The fact that
the right wing has nothing to say
about this deviation simply proves
that the left wing handled this as the
right wing would do. That the bring
ing In OF youth into the industry is
always abused by the employers is a
recognized fact and 1t requires regula-
ton. However, in justice to the union
II must be said that they are not prac-
ticing what they put into writing. I
am told that hundreds of learners
have been taken into the union since
the strike ended. Nevertheless that
clause should be eliminated and a
clause written in that win protect the
youth and not discriminate against
them.
There may have been some justifica-
ton for the signing OF an agreement
for two years and eight months. but
1t certainly was wrong not 70 have
a clause for the negotiating of and
striking, II necessary, for further wage
increases.
Furrlers Point the Way.
There are other points that were
Yielded to the employers that could
be criticized, such as the yielding of
the unemployment insurance. the
equal division OF work during the dull
season, etc. But the intent of this ar.
ticle Is not so much TO criticize the
strike settlement, but TO protest
against the attempt Of the right wing

Lord Rothermere an
irresponsible, Says
British Government

LONDON, July 3d. Lord Rother-
mere's Daily Mail continues to bonn
bard America with charges of usury
which it asserts are the cause of all
Europe's troubles, and especially
England's. It says the American
public never has had any substantial
knowledge Of the British proposal to
cancel all war debts. It is going to
give America the facts.
Americans who have crossed the
Atlantic can read them and take them
home and let their friends know Of
the disastrous mischief being wrought
in Europe as a result Of the complac-
ency of President Wilson and Of the
harsh terms imposed on the allies by
the great and wealthy American
nation, which so prides itself on its
generosity and idealism."
British government officials say
they are embarrassed" by Lord
Rothermere, and privately report that
he is irresponsible" It's Daily Mail
is the paper whose venomous attacks
on the striking miners was, however,
backed up by the government When
the printers refused to print the at
tacks and precipitated the general

approximately $1,o0O,OOO has been

the purchase Of forest preserve lands
to present to the grand jury for prose-
cution.
1t was pointed out in the statement
that many farmers had sold their
property to various politicians with
the understanding that the land was
to become part Of the forest preserve.
These politicians then resold 1t to the
county board. In number of cases
the board paid twice the amount that
had originally been paid the farmer
for the land.

right wing would have aided the strik.
ers instead of aiding the manufac.

struggle as we have witnessed In re-
cent years. 1t was the first strike I'm
this country conducted by the left
wing with the Communists playing a
leading role. Not only did the union
have the employers to face but they
had to struggle against the open
sabotage Of the right wing within the
union composed Of the Kaufman
Sorlrin group.
Sabotage by Right Wing.
These saboteurs within were sup
ported by the right wing generally.
The funds of the union were tied IN

Every effort was made TO discredit
