Traction Workers
Eager to Receive
The Daily Worker
By d. RAPPO.
Worker Correspondent

went with another comrade to
distribute today's TUESDAY, July 26)
issue of the DAILY WORKER to the
traction workers.
We arrived at the East 180th street
station to give out paper to the train
men and shopmen who usually stop
work at 4.30 p. m. At the terminal
we found out that the shopmen were
working overtime because of the
strike, and that they would probably
work until late at night.
Send Up Bundles.
Workers were hosting lumber to
the top of the building. Many were
standing downstairs handling the
heavy lumber for the workers on the
roof who were hosting it up with
ropes. All these workers standing
below rushed over to me to get their
copies of the WORKER.
The workers who were on the roof
were anxious to get papers also. So
we tied bundles of papers to the
ropes which pulled up the lumber.
Many said, "This is the paper we
want!"
When these workers went into the
shop they took along bundles to dis
tribute to their shop mates. Every
one accepted the paper enthusiastic
ally. Only one old subway guard
refused to take paper, "because,"
he said, "this paper is not American"
Thug Gets Busy.
A company thug came over to me
and threatened me: "Better quit it
or III fix you up! And you know ]
could get you"
But he was too late. We distrib-
uted nearly all the papers.
About half past five the workers
had their supper on the roof of the
shop, and you could see everyone
reading a copy of the DAILY
WORKER.

Negro Paper Calls
0COtaI, massacre
By u. S. Marines

BALTIMORE, July 27 (FP).-Re-
Numbering the American invasion of
Negro Haiti, with the loss of hun
dreds of native lives, the Afro Amer
lean declares in an editorial that
Omitted States troops have no more
business in Nicaragua than in Haiti.
Like the average bully, the govern
ment masks its policy of exploitation
and robbery behind its alleged role
of peacemaker.
'If the 80 marines killed and
wounded 400 Nicaraguans," contin-
ues ro-American, sit wasn't a bat
tie. 1t was a massacre in which
well-trained marines using airplanes,
machine guns, bombs and modern ar
tillery fought against brave Central
Americans armed with little more
than a clear conscience"
The Negro paper reminds kellogg
that nine Negroes have been lynched
this year, that Georgia and Alabama
report three times the usual fog
gings and suggests that the marines
be brought home from Nicaragua Tor

FRENCH CABINET
HAS AMBASSADOR
INSULT u. S. S. R.
May Be Carrying Out A
Deal With England

PARIS, July Pit is understood
here that Jean Herbette, French am
bassador to Moscow, returns to the
latter city this week with instruc-
lions from the Poincare cabinet to
take another step in toe direction Of
breach Of relations with the Soviet
Union
He will condemn the u S. s. R. for
Communist propaganda in France and
will accuse it of breaking promises,
and will threaten "reprisals' and no
trade agreement.
Strong pressure from England, and
official worry over the sharp turn
to the left which many signs show
among the French working popula-
ton, is believed responsible for the
recent heavy sentences on Commun-
lists here, and for the present policy
Of shaking a fist at the Union Of
Socialist Soviet Republics.
Recently Premier Poincare said
something of the same sort to AM
bassador Rakovsky, and the latter at
once left to confer with Peoples Com
misar Chicherin, in Moscow.
The orders to Herbette are said to
be that he should deliver his insult
in an unofficial manner" to place
France in a better light before the
French workers, in case serious de-
velopments follow, and permit the
cabinet to deny any attack on the
U. S. S. R. took place.

FURRIER DYE WORKERS ON STRIKE;
ASK THE JOINT BOARD TO AID THEM

does not include the increases that
were obtained by fur workers of other
shops as a result of this campaign
initiated by the Joint Board. The
records of the Joint Board taken from
shop meetings indicate that July in
creases to the amounts mentioned
above were gotten by almost every
fur worker in the trade that year.
Wages Increases.
I'm 1926, in the month of July, al
though the workers at that time were
getting higher wages than in 1925
because of the increases that fol-
lowed the general strike, the LETT
wing Joint Board, nevertheless ini-
tiated a campaign for increases which
resulted in ID shop stoppages in
volving sos wokers. These secured
increases, and in addition increases
were obtained for 800 workers of 80
shops without any stoppages. Alto
gether the July increase campaign
in 1926, as carried on by the Joint
Board, secured $11,450.70 weekly in
creases for Ills workers of 26 shops,
in addition to the increases that were
secured BY the workers themselves
as a result of this campaign. All
these figures can be verified by Joint
Board records.
"The Importance of this campaign
for increased wages when the season
begins in July, can be judged from
the results shown in the following
table:
In 1925-cutters received 7fc high
err wages than 1924.
In 1926-cutters received 24Po high
er wages than in 1925.
Making the total for 1926-32cc
higher than 1924 before the Joint
Board came into office.
Operators: In 1925 had 1000 high
er wages than 1924.
In 1926 had 1870 higher wages
than 1925.
Making 1926 300 higher than
1924.
22%o Higher.
Nailers: In 1925 received 22Go
higher wages than 1924.
In 1926 received 11Go higher wages
than 1925.
Making 1926 $3.50 higher than 1924.
Finishers: In 1926 received 259e
higher wages than 1924.
In 1926 received 1870 higher wages
than 1925.
Making 1926 1870 higher than
1924.
"The manufacturer quoted in Wom-
ems Wear is right. Under the left
wing Joint Board the workers were
united. Under the Joint Board the
bosses would not have dared to tear
up shop list. Under the Joint Board
the workers gained their July in
creases, and other demands; and when
the Joint Board is once again recog-
nized in Associated shops the work
ars' control of their jobs and condl-
tons will be restored"

Congress SQuabbIGs
Over Method Of Cut
In Tax On the Rich

WASHINGTON, July 27.-The new
Congress stands overwhelmingly in
favor of tax reduction and legislation
but pretty party battle threatens
over the nature and size Of the melon
to be cut, it was revealed here today.
With Senate leaders already on
record as favoring tax reduction leg
islation, Rep. William P. Green (R)
Of Iowa, chairman of the House Ways
and Means Committee, and Rep. John
n. Garner (D) of Texas, banking
minority member, today declared they
favored giving part of the treasury
surplus back to the taxpayers. They
differed, however, on the amount and
the details. Their views will appear
in the August number of The Ma
TONS Business magazine.
Green declared he favored cutting
corporation taxes, but gave no de-
tails: said he was inclined toward
"relief" for incomes under 100000
and came out strongly against repeal
of the Federal estate tax. Garner
urged reduction of the corporation
tax 10 per cent. repeal of all nuisance
taxes and adjustment of income
taxes.
The Texas democrat, who will be-
come floor leader of his party in the
House next year, took a potshot at
the treasury estimates. He pointed
out that President Coolidge and Sec
retarv of the Treasury Mellon pre-
dicted a S133, 100000 surplus for the
past fiscal year while his own pre-
diction was S4O0.OOO,0OO The actual
surplus neared the half billion mark.
