JEWISH FORWARD
WHITEWASHES e
STR|KEBREAKERS
Calls Scabs Mistreated
Workers

An attempt is being made by the
Jewish Daily Forward to whitewash
the 2S strikebreakers that came to
Chicago to break the strike of Local
45, Fur Workers Union. In an arti-
Gle by Morris Seskind, Chicago labor
editor of the Forward, an attempt is
made to make it appear that these
strikebreakers were forced to scab be-
cause the New York left wing had
barred them from the union.
The Forward calls these scabs mis-
treated" workers. This attempt of
the Forward to whitewash profess
sional strikebreakers who came to
Chicago to break the fur workers
strike for better conditions and who
were denied working cards by the
New York union and were heavily
fined for their strikebreaking activi-
ties there shows to what extent the
mentally bankrupt right wing leader
ship is willing to go in their des-

Poincare Would Like

Hidden by Hoarders

PARIS, Aug. 6. There is esti-
mated to be some 2,5OO.OOO,OOO francs
in gold and silver coins hidden in
French stockings, according to the
'Intransigeant." How the government
is to get hold of this fund, which
would go far to stabilizing the cur,
rency, according to the paper, is a
knotty problem.
The records of the Bank of France
show that in 1914 about six billion
gold francs disappeared from circula-
ton, hidden away chiefly by the peas
antry.
Between 1915 and 1918, thru govern
ment appeals, two and half billions
were produced and turned into war
bonds. An additional sum of a billion
and half is supposed to have been
secretly collected by spectators and
exported or melted down. But this
leaves about 2.OOO,OO0,0OO gold and
500,000,000 silver francs $500, ,OO0, ,OO0)
hidden away, which Premier Poincare
would like much to lay HIS fingers on.
