One of the principal varieties of
wool sheep raised in the United States
today were introduced by an 18-year-
old, illiterate Russian immigrant in
violation of United States law.
DIR. C. C. Young of Ell Paso is that
immigrant today in the Americanized
form, and Karakul sheep, extensively
raised throughout the central and far
west, and noted for their rich closely
kinked wool, are the products of his
enterprise. They are probably the
only variety of Asiatic sheep raised
extensively in the United States.
And the sheep have prOspered until
today the department of agriculture
says the KaraNuls are among the most
rapidly increasing varieties of sheep
in the United States.

Carnegie Endowment
Giro ulates Fascist
Defense of Tyranny

The Carnegie Endowment for In
ternational Peace has printed in PAM
phlet form a defense of fascism by
Alfredo Rocco, Italian minister Of
justice. The defense is approved by
Mussolini, and the pamphlet is cir
culated by New York fascists who
have organized the Italian Digest and
News Service.
The Rocco statement is a denial of
every ideal that a democratic people
hold and revives the old Roman and
later the German theory that the in
dividual exists for the state rather
than the state for the individual.
The pamphlet contains list of sup
pressions of individual rights that are
justified on the theory that the state
is supreme, and that the individual is
but unit that can be used for the
development and ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Of
the state.
The suppressions include free press,
trade unions and parliament, denial of
local autonomy to towns and villages,
government recognition of trade
unionism that recognize Fascist prin-
ciples, compulsory arbitration, outlaw
ing Of strikes and confiscation of the
property of Italian emigrants who OPP
pose the Mussolini system.

Shaw's ''PygmaliOn" to
Be Given for Benefit
Of Daily Worker
By LEON BLUMENFELD.

George Bernard Shaw's brilliant
satirical play, "Pygmalion" is being
revived by the Theatre Guild. We
know that it is his object to surprise
the populace by his topsy-turveydom,
to make people sit up and take no
tice. The manner of his work is flip
pant, vivacious. Yet people are likely
to miss the serious purpose that lies
behind his persiflage. Shaw is an
enemy Of humbug, conventionalities
and all sorts of befogged thinking,
and to all evils these have led His
plays are trimming with ideas. The
source of their merits cannot be
traced to its plot" as so many the
atrical productions depend upon. The
weak point is that the action is often
subordinated to the discussions and
that all characters talk with pater-
natural brilliance.
The fact that he does not and can
not please and appeal to all theatre
goers has never yet caused Shaw to
go into spasms of worriment. If the
entire world told him that his stuff
does not appeal to them, it would
mean, literally, less than nothing to
him. He writes to please himself. In
all of his works his personality is al
ways obtruded, even if people fail to
understand him. In their eyes he is
not English; he is unnatural and I'M
real. and attains his chief points by
persiflage.
In taking over "Pygmalion" for the
entire week of March 21-26, inclusive,
The DAILY WORKER has borne in
mind the aesthetic qualities of the
Shaw comedy-satire and his popular
Eity among proletarian theatre-goers
in New York. During the week men,
toned the show which is being pre-
scented by the Theatre Guild, will be
given for the readers and friends
of The DAILY WORKER, and a
percentage of all seats purchased
at the office of the newspaper
(l08 East 18th STREET. will be used
as a direct benefit to it. A special
list of reasonable prices will prevail
FOR this occasion. Seats will be 81,
$3.50, 50 and $3.50 for the balcony
and SO for the orchestra, plus the
tax. 1t will be given at the beautiful
Guild Theatre, Sind Street, west of
Broadway.

U. S. Gypsum
s41,2s2,93O
Big Percentage.

The 5-year profit of 9,526,475 on
the $4,500,000 which the owners ap-
pear to have invested in the common
stock represents a return of more
than $500, or an average of 1907
year.
U. S. Gypsum in 1926 as usual
capitalized some of its excess profits
by issuing a $3.50 stock dividend. AL
together the investment Of the own
ers in 1920 has been increased 206ed
without an additional cent of cash
from them.
Lots Of Dividends.
The Gypsum company has also
been very generous with cash divi-
dends. Common dividends of $685.
$50 in 1922 had grown to S6,116,088
in 1926. Altogether the 5 years
brought the owners total of S15,-
99S,754 in cash, or about 1855 on
each 500 they had nominally invest
ed in 1920.
The other building material con-
Germs report generous profits at the
expense of home seekers. These are
the Illinois Brick Co. and the Ger
tain-teed Products Corp.
Gold Bricks.
Illinois Brick, with a capacity Of
500,000,000 bricks year, reports a
1926 profit of 81 ,465,S32. This is a
return of $17.SG on each 500 invest
ed in the company's common stock.
In the last 5 years, roughly marking
the building boom, Illinois Brick has
turned over to its owners profits
equivalent to sos on each 500 worth
Of common stock.
The profits Of Certain-teed Pro-
duets for 1926 amounted to $2,334,-
S28 after all deductions for deprecia-
ton, interest and federal taxes. This
gives the common stockholders a re-
turn Of S6.02 a share. But as each
no-par share originally had value Of
not more than $33 the owners are
really getting about 1890 on their in
vestment. Certain-teed profits over
the past 8 years represent nearly
500 on the investment in common
| stock.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1927-03-01


Outstanding is the report Of the U.
S. Gypsum Co. showing profit Of
$10,763,219. After all deductions for
depreciation, federal taxes and pre-
ferred dividends, this means $685.
1874 or 7796 on the $10,138,300 book
value of the common stock.
The real return is much larger
than this 779e. Beginning with De-
cember, 1920, a series of annual stock
dividends have increased the original
investment of the owners 1869. The
actual money put into the common
stock was probably not more than
S4,5OO,OOO. So the 1926 profit is real
ly at least 1890 on the money risked
in the enterprise.
Leads World.
U. S. Gypsum leads the world in
the production of hardwall plaster,
fireproof partition, floor and roof
tile, Sheetrock and other plaster
boards. It controls about 400 of
this business in the United States. It
is on labor's unfair list.
In the last years U. S. Gypsum
has made a total of SAL, 282,930 in
profits. The profits year by year,
with the amounts remaining for the
common stockholders after all de-
auctions, were.

WEISBORD PLEAD
TRADE UNIONISM
Philadelphia Workers
Resist Wage Cut

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 28.-Strik-
ing textile workers packed the Ken
sington Labor Lyceum to hear Albert
Weisbord, who successfully led the
textile strike in Passaic.
Declaring that Passaic is typical
American industrial city, Weisbord
said that workers throughout the
country would soon organize and fight
for their rights to a decent livelihood,
Strike leaders would arise from the
masses he declared, and would lead
the workers to victory.
Strikers Encouraged.
Attacking the A. F. of L. for its
failure to organize workers in the
basic industries, Weisbord said, "If
the A. F. of L. officials refuse to or
ranize the rubber. the oil, the textile,
and the automobile workers, then the
workers themselves. those organized
in the Workers (Communist) Party,
will lead the struggle for a higher
standard Of living"
Encouraged by Weisbord's address,
Philadelphia textile workers are more
determined than ever to fight the
wage-slashing campaign of the Tex
tile Manufacturers Association,
which has been rolling up enormous
profits by means of well-controlled
market. More than 700 workers are
now engaged in the strike, which has
lasted twenty-five weeks. They are
resolved not to accept the Is per cent
wage cut foisted on them by the
bosses.

Communism Waning Here.

According to a survey conducted by
the Rand School of Social Science, In
New York, the results of which have
just been issued. Communism is on
the wane in the United States. James
Oneal la hor historian and editor, who
conducted the survey and now writes
about it, declares that the Communist
movement, which was at it's height
in 1919. with a membership of 35 600,
is now at It's lowest ebb, with between
5000 and 1000 members.
This IL interesting, and 10 some
people who have been concerned lest
Communism may have been spread
ing in the United States, it is reas-
suring. 1t is particularly interesting
and to those who have been concerned
it is particularly reassuring, i'm view
of the fact that the institution through
which the survey was made has itself
been regarded as more or less favora-
BILE to radicaiism. This belief may be
uniustified, but there have been times
strongly suspected of sympathetic
concern for the spread of pernicious
doctrines in this country.

not be rated as positive danger un-
less it was growing. The contrary ap'
pears to he true. The movement has
lost In strength. This In proba bly, due
To the steadfast opposition Of organ
lied labor. particularly the American
principles that the Communist groups
have undertaken to implant here.
| A most interesting story is told In
connection with the research into the
this country. 1t reads like tales of the
old days in Russia, when espiona sc
and counter espionage prevailed. 1t
appears that in t920 the under
ground Communist movement select
ed as an American representative at
secret meeting Of the Third Inter
rationale in Amsterdam one Joseph
Nosovitsky. who later proved to he a
secret agent of the United States Gov
ernment and OF Scotland Yard A
second delegate chosen for the mission
was Louis G. Fraina secretary of the
American Communist party, who sail
| ed for Europe with false passport
after he had been secretly tried by
Ludwig G.. A. h. Martens. who was
known as the Soviet amba ssa dor" to
the United States. Fraina was accused
Of being in the pay Of the Department
of Justice. hut was acquitted on evi

the most conspicuous orga nizers of
American Communism, left Moscow

and dropped out of sight. 1t is be
lieved that he IL now In Mexico and
American Communists are uncertain
whether he is traitor to the cause
or not.
1t may be that there are Commu-
nists in this country who are not en-
rolled as members of party or
group, Perhaps there are more than
35 600 Of them. But there Is no reason
to believe they are increasing in mum

centers of this country is making

not lead to any slackening of efforts
