Chanorro Must Wait
for Old Job

WASHINGTON, Oct. %. The
state department has notified General
Chamorro of Nicaragua that he can
not be president of that country next
term. Chamorro was used by United
States business interests to overthrow
by force of arms the liberal govern
nent of that country and served part
of the present term before Diaz, an
ether Wall Street agent, was made
president.
1t is not that Chamorro is unde-
sirable, but because it is considered
expedient TO show formal respect to
the constitution which says that nc
one can hold office two consecutive
terms, that he is barred by the Amer
lean state department.
Election viii Be Fake.
It is not thought likely that the
president selected will be antagonistic
to Wall Street because the elections
are to be conducted under "observa-
tion" of the United States, and the
marines and native constabulary com
manded by marine officers are still
trying to destroy every vestige of op-
position so that the elections can be
won for Wall Street against the
wishes of the overwhelming majority
of Nicaraguans.

7-HOUR DAY FOR
SOVIET WORKERS
CAUSES BIG STIR
Have Advantage Over
Labor in Other Lands
BY LAURENCE TODD.
Federated Press).

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23-Not since
Henry Ford established his five-dol-
lar wage for an eight-hour day has
industrial America received such a
shock as in the announcement from
Leningrad that the Central Executive
Committee of the All-Union Congress
Of Soviets had decreed seven-hour
workday throughout the industries of
the Soviet Union.
Conservative economists in Wash
ington, long accustomed to speak of
Soviet industry as primitive, ineffici-
ent and hopelessly burdensome to the
workers and consumers, at first look
ed skeptically upon the news. Then
they began to modify their tone.
Some of the more liberal conceded
that the Soveits might, eventually
make the change without undue
strain on production.
Stirs Discussion.
"If it be assumed" said Ethelbert
Stewart. commissioner of the u. S.
Bureau of Labor Statistics, "that Rus
sia is to maintain its present rate of
production, or increase it, then the
application Of the 7-hour day to Rus
sian industries becomes a problem of
adjustment of physical energy and
skill to machinery without unduly in
creasing the strain upon the human
element.
"In such of their industries as are
well equipped, and in which the bonus
system has stimulated the workers to
adapt their physical motions to the
improved machinery, so that waste
motion is eliminated, there is no rea-
son why they should not gradually
come to produce as much in seven
hours as they now do in eight. Bodily
fatigue should not be increased.
"But if they try to get equal pro-
duction in seven hours in the poorly
equipped ndustries-those which de-
pend chiefly on human muscle-they
are likely to find that the increased
bodily strain in seven hours is too big
price to pay for the shorter work
day. That is, if we assume that new
methods of saving waste motion are

ARMORED TRAIN
TAKING MORROW
TO MEXICO CITY

LAREDO, Texas, Oct. ga train
of armored cars carrying $50 heavily
equipped soldiers preceded the train
carrying Dwight w. Morrow, the new
"Wall Street ambassador" into Mex
leo yesterday. The train carrying
Morrow was also heavily guarded
with soldiers. Morrow's private car
that carried him from New York was
attached to the Mexican train and will
be taken to Mexico City.
This precaution was considered nec-
essary by the Mexican government be-
cause there was fear that counter
revolutionaries might stage provo
catory attack on the train on which
Morrow was riding in order to fur
nish an excuse for intervention by the
United States against the Gales gov
ernment.

EFERENDUM OF
SIGMAN EXPOSED
BY Louis HyMAN
Proportional Voting Is
Vital Issue

Exposing the so-called referendum
arranged by Morris Sigman, president
of the International Ladies' Garment
Workers Union, Louis Hyman, man
ager of the Joint Board, Cloak and
Dressmakers' Union yesterday said:
"The present referendum vote carried
thru by Sigman and his clique is a
fake and a swindle and is recognized
as such by the great mass Of the
workers"
"Since the year 1872" said Hyman,
"our members have fought consistent
ly against the arbitrary form Of rep
resentation in our union, which made
it possible for a clique to maintain
itself in power thru the votes Of dele
gates from paper locals specially or
ganized on the eve of conventions so
as to form majority for those in
power. The rotten borough system
of representation prevailing in our
union suited the interests of the clique
IN power and it therefore repeatedly
voted down all resolutions for proper

jority of our members at conventions.

it impossible for me to speak at the

will be helpful for better relations

Workers Will Defend Their Power
"There is no czar and no capitalist
power that can take away from the
Russian workers what they have pro-
duced," said Frank Palmer, editor of
the Colorado Labor Advocate. with
a conviction which we could not get
around, Russian workers told US that
they intended to defend the Soviet
Union"
Contrasting the position of work
ers in this country with those of the
workers of the U.S.SR. Palmer said,
"Life in the United States is organ
lied around business, in the Soviet
Union around labor.
The rapid development of Soviet
industry was stressed by Palmer who
declared that Russia is gaining in
industrial efficiency faster than any
other nation of the Old World"
Young Workers Message to U. s.
Conveying q message from the
young workers of Russia to American
workers, Palmer said: Il was told to
tell the workers of America that the
old Russia is gone and that the young
workers are building a new Russia"
Russian workers, he said, expressed
the hope that American workers
would like them, determine chat
they are able to run their own in
dustry and government"
Palmer declared that he was espe-
cially impressed by the workers rest
homes. "The rest home in Samara,"
he said, chad formerly sheltered one
merchant prince; now it sheltered
1,500 workers on their vacations
every two weeks.

WOMEN PICKETS
SHUT COAL Mines
OF ROCKEFELLER
Many Jailed by Guards
of Fuel and Iron Co.

WALSENBURG, Colo, Oct. 23.-
Dozens of women, daughters or wives
of striking coal miners have added
themselves to the picket lines that
are choking off production in the
Rockefeller owned Colorado Fuel and
Iron Co. here-the perpetrator of the
historic Ludlow massacre.
'FWe will stand by our men, they
make our homes. They are our living
and poor living it is at best. We
will stay behind our men forever. We
will not starve. If we do not have
a loaf of bread between US, we will
beg" declared one twenty -year-old
girl, a picket captain, and sister of
two miners killed by Rockefeller
agents at Ludlow.
Thirty men pickets and ten women
pickets were arrested by the Rookie
feller gunmen guarding the Ideal
Mine of the Colorado Fuel and. Iron
Co. yesterday. Six other women
pickets were arrested at other mines
in the vicinity at the same time.
The women were offered freedom,
in order to concentrate prosecution on
the men, but they refused to leave the
rail unless the men were set free
also.
Against Starvation Wage.
The strike in Colorado is called by
rhe |. w. W., and has the support of
all militant workers. The official
bureaucracy in the state federation Of
labor and the United Mine Workers
of America are not recognizing the
strike, other than to declare it proper
Tor workers to scab on it. The state
industrial commission has declared it
illegal.
The miners demand a raise in
wages. They have been getting only
about two-thirds of the union scale.
Evictions in Ohio.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Oct. 23.-Two
hundred and seventy families of union
miners will be thrown out of their
homes to face cold bleak Ohio win
ter if the federal court here grants
the peremptory order to compel evic-
Iion which the Clarkson Coal Mining
Go. and the Atlantic Contracting Co.
demand of it.
The Clarkson Company wants to
eject from their houses 1876 families
at Mines No. / and No. 2. The At
iant;c asks that 85 families freeze at
Florence.
Court Kind To Companies.
The court hitherto has given the
companies everything they asked in
the way Of injunctions practically
prohibiting picketing The basis for
its present complaint is that the
union miners by continuing to live
with their wives and children in
houses in the mining camp are there
Ly "conspiring to prevent the opera
tion of the mines" with scab labor.
Ohio is an armed camp, with the
mines guarded by imported gang
sters, equipped with pistols, clubs,
rifles, machine guns and fortified
with barbed wire. Great searchlights
mounted at the mines light up the
surrounding country and flash thru

and are more generally handled with
scoops and less with hands. 1t is
comparatively safe to buy bulk foods
today, especially those which may be
washed or are to Ne cooked. How
ever, it is important to buy only of
grocers who keep clean stores and
handle their foods in a sanitary man
ner.
Though the individual housewife
can save money by wise buying of
most of her fooos in the bulk, yet it
would be a backward move to return
to tie old time store with barrels
and cases, rather than the modern
one with attractive shelves of neat
package goods. The package saves
the time of the store keeper ana has
its place in the marketing of goods.
The package of certain high-grade
brands are an assurance of quality
and there are some patent brands or
special makes which canot be bought
except in the package.
