Judge Calls Finks Thugs,

SAN FRANCISCO, April 21-SquadS
of blue-coats were sent from one of
the city police stations to a building
under construction, where more than
100 union carpenters were parading
before an open shop job. Three union
men. and strikebreaker were ar.
rested.
Police Judge Joseph NJ. Golden dis
charged Walter Smith, Joseph Smith
and Jacob Baraker, union carpenters
on strike, accused Of assaulting Louis
McDermott, non-unionist. McDermott
was taken into custody on charge Of
assault and battery. The bail was set
at $4,000 in bonds or $500 cash.
"Thues and Rufflans."
Judge Joseph Golden said the fol-
lowing in discharging the union men.
"Strikebreakers such as this man are
thugs and ruffians. They should be
tarred and feathered and driven out
Of town. The same treatment should
be administered to the men who bring
them into San Francisco. They are
not real mechanics-only thugs and
rufians. In San Francisco and any
other city in the United States, there
is only one way in which the working
men can better their condition and
that is by walking out. That is their
right"
Plcketing to Continue.
The police are threatening to put
an end to all picketing. The carpenters
maintain that picketing will continue
as usual. Police Judge NJ. Golden
during the McDermott case said, I'm
urging workers to join the union these
union men are only working to better
their condition and the condition Of
every other man that works."

Insurance Lobby at
Washington Hopes to
Delay c Compensation Act
Especial to The Daily Worker

WASHINGTON, April 21.-The in
surance lobby here is working night
and day to prevent the passage of the
Fitzgerald workmen's compensation
bill for the District Of Columbia. The
measure is intended to be the model
for agitation in behalf of similar law
all over the country.
h The District Of Columbia committee
has for the third time in five years
reported favorably on the proposal.
The report caustically criticises the
lobby maintained here by the insur-
'ance concerns and condemns the
chaml ss of commerce propaganda
against the bill, specifically naming
that organization, to the great dis
comfiture Of its members who prefer
to work in the dark in matter of
this kind. II states that the companies
claims that the bill invades the field
of private business merely means that
the private corporations want the "op=
portunity to make private profits out
of injuries to workmen."
object, To Delay. IS
The whole object of the lobby, which
recognizes that the bill is almost sure
to pass if brot up, is to have it delay
ed until so close to the adjournment
of congress that it would be left over.

Ford Makes Speeches
About Prosperity While
Wages Are Cut at Plant
81 a Worker Commencement

DETROIT, Mich, April 21.- "The
way to hold what we have of pros
perity," said Henry Ford, sis to keep
up the standard of wages, and the way
to have more prosperity is to cut
prices and increase wages"
But Ford's workers know the hypoc-
risy back of this statement. Here is
an example of how Ford increases
wages at the Ford plant.
A man worked on one job for seven
years, receiving 1920 for 8 hours work
each day Recently this man was
transferred to another department ON
a different job, at which he will re-
,ceive $6.40 day, cut in wages of
80 cents day. s
Another method used in cutting
wages is the speed-up, system inaugu-
rated in the Ford plant. One man in
every three is dropped from the pay
roll and the remaining two are driven
thru fear of losing their jobs) to pro.
duce the amount Of labor put out by
the former three men.
When Henry Ford blahs about pay
ing high wages he does not fool the
men who work for him. Ford's gen.
erosity is only myth. BY this time
not one of us is foolish enough to be
taken in by such lies. We all know
that we must fight for our rights.
There is only one way and that is
thru organization. Divided we. are
being driven to our own destruction.
United we will win decent living con-
ditions, better homes and higher edu-
cation for our children.

OF course Barcelo, tool of American
sugar companies and bankers, does
not seriously mean to start an indie

into the hands Of his enemies, the

Most of the demand for modifica-
ton, said Bishop Cannon, another wit
ness of the drys, came from New
York, Connecticut, New Jersey, Penn
sylvania, and Maryland. Two of these
states, Maryland and New York, have
utterly refused to pass any state en-
forcement law" he said, "and yet the
very men in these states, who are
largely responsible for the failure to
pass an enforcement law, are the ones
who are loudly and illogically de-
nouncing the failure to enforce the
law"
Phillip King, Of the Christian Sci
ence church's committee on publica-
tions, said his church opposed modi-
fication of the dry law.
The dry demand for stricter enforce
ment of the law was endorsed by
Mrs. Ella A. Boole, president Of the
National Women's Christian Temper

demned the Canadian systems of gov
eminent control.

Shrines in Salt Mines


 Tn the galleries of the salt mines at Wieliczka safe from shot and shell are many old shrines of Galicia. These mines have been operated since the 11th or 12th century. There are now seven levels of galleries. The mines are verit- able city which need be deserted onyl for sleeping quarters. There is a magnificent crystal salt ball room 300 feet long and 200 feet high where the village celebrates festiv- als. It Is lighted by chandeliers of huge glittering salt crystals. St. Stanislaus and St. Clement stand like Lots wife-solid salt. The subterranean cathedral of St. Anthony dates back to the 17th century. There are lakes in which ferries ply back and forth and a complete resturant. A pony-drawn railway system serves the mines themselves. All this in the safest place in Galicia-below ground.
 Possession of Galicia is con- plicated by the rise of a new re- source in the world. The curious black substance which the Ukrain- ian peasants used for years to lub- ricate the grooming axles of their farm carts, the world has now raised to high estate. Oil seepage pointed the way to petroleum discoveries in Galicia. Although the field has not produced any remarkable gushers, many companies now employ ex- perienced Polish workmen to pro- duce the five million barrels plus per year. They place Poland eighth among the petroleum producing countries of the world"
