Workers of Globe
Restaurant Forced
To Become Spies

The Globe Cafeteria, 14th st. and
Irving Place, in the past patronized
by hundreds Of radical workers, has
just forced its 80 workers to sign
"yellow dog" contract which pro-
hibits them from joining any union.
Four of the workers who refused to
sign, are today out Of job.
Last Wednesday, lizzie Goldman,
one of the owners Of the restaurarr.
called the workers aside and one by
one handed them the contract to sign.
Among other things it names the
various unions in the food industry
that the workers promise not to join.
It also has a clause in which the
worker promises to inform the boss
if he hears Of any other worker in
the restaurant joining ! wicn.
Sign Under Pressure.
Under the pressure Of Immediately
losing their jobs the workers signed
with the exception Of four. One Of
them, John Wilson, I'D Tho DAILY
WORKER how on Wednesday when
he refused to sign he was told that he
must sign by the following Cay. The
following morning he quit.
II am not a member o. any Irion
at the present Time" said Wilson,
"but l refuse t1 ACT IS spy on any
of my fellow workers AT some
future time l Nigh. become & union

The DAILY WORKER has been in
formed that Mcdonald in the Knick4
erbocker Building, lind st. and
Broadway is Che man responsible for
the issuing of the "yellow dog" con-
tracts, furnishing tkera TO many cafe
terias throughout the city.

have been discovered. We earnestly
urge the public to consider where the
motives for such an act are most
liekly to be. We have implicit con-
fidence in Gov. Fuller's high purpose
in approaching his decision in the

slider it an affront to him and our
selves to address to him a denial of
this act which is aimed at the pro-

We are curious why it should be
As Of pertinent interest we recall that
this is not the first letter Mr.. Colvin
has written the governor.
"On April IS, the press published a

crime, l feel it is proper for me to
express my hope and expectation that

action which will further delay the
execution imposed upon them by the

Like Old Days.
Enemies of Sacco and Vanzetti,
who may we'll have planted the dyna-
mite, IL there was any, are rejoicing
over the vicious publicity given the
entire incident. Local yellow newspa-
pers brought back memories of early
days of the case by playing the hoax
in lurid headlines, openly accusing
friends of the workers Of trying to
kill the governor.

Daily Worker Exposure
sOf Insurance Graft

Continued from Page One)
Schwab, Albert H. Wiggin, Frederick
H. Ecker and many others.
We listed the very corporations in
which these gentry were interested,
proving that hundreds of millions of
dollars which were the property OF
the 40 million policyholders were
being used to further the private in
terests of Schwab & Co.
The expose "took." Thousands Of
agents and policyholders began to
talk. Thousands of policies were
dropped. The expose became the sole
topic of conversation in insurance
circles. There was a steady call for
back numbers of. the paper containing
the earlier articles.
We have been informed that hun
dreds of letters were sent to the capt
talistic dailies in New York City. The
conspiracy of silence on their part re-
manned unbroken, however
Dunno Wires.
On April 2lst, William F. Dunno
the editor of The DAILY WORKER
wired to Governor Smith calling his
attention to the fact that the series
of articles had caused something re.
sembling panic in insurance circles
and calling for an immediate inyes-
tigation into the charges made in the
series.
On April 9th the governor replied
through his secretary informing
Dunno that he had instructed Super
intendent of Insurance Beha to make
enquiries in the charges made in the
expose.
Two days later Beha wrote to The
DAILY WORKER asking for copies
of the papers in which the articles
appeared. He was notified that copies
had been sent to him since the day of
the first articles. He then asked for
definite acts" with which these COM
panies were charged.
The following day appeared an
open letter reiterating in condensed
form an outline of the charges made.
That was more than two weeks ago.
Since that time, Beha, whom we sus-
pect of working in the interest of the
big Four" has seen fit to under
take a speaking tour praising the
operations Of the companies singled
out in this expose.
The time has come, therefore, for
the masses Of agents and policy
holders to take definite steps to COM
pei the executive branch of the state
government to take real action in ref
erence to this colossal fraud.
A movement is now under way to
force such action.

German Owners
OF PaSSaiC Lost
Much On Strike

The Passaic strike Of last year was
felt in Berlin. The big German firm
that controls the Botany Consoli-
dated Mills lost heavily on its Amer
lean operations last year. A dispatch
to textile trade papers from Berlin
says:
"While declaring a 6 per cent divi-
dend today Stoehr Worsted Co. com
ments on the unsatisfactory develop
ment through the companys Ameri-
can participations, which suffered
losses through a prolonged strike"
At the Botany offices in Passaic,
the net loss for last year is listed at
S4,4S5,45s. The Stoehr company'*s
6 per cent is due to the successful
operation Of its many European fac
tories.
The Stoehr firm is a powerful in
ternational combine. 1t controls the
kammgaarT Spinnerei and Elberfeld-
er Textilwerke, A. G.. large weaving
plant at Elberfeld, Germany. They
have controlling interest in 30 other
factories Of varying Importance in
Germany, Czecho-Slovakia, Hungry,
Holland, Italy and Latvia, manufac-
turing woolens, worsteds and other
textiles.

Cooperative Societies Of Greater New
York.
Look Over Field.
With the third week of the school,
the student body is starting on some
tours Of inspection. They first pay
an early morning visit to the produce
market of New York City. One eve
ming is devoted to visit to cafe
terra branch of the Consumers Co
operative Services where they will
have supper and listen to a lecture
by the general manager. On Saturday
afternoon they will visit the Brook
wood Labor College at Katonah, N. Y.
Similar educational tours are planned
for each of the succeeding weeks.
This is the first full-time school for
the training of cooperative execu-
tives ever to be held in the eastern
part of the country, and the unex-
pected financial support and enroll
ment of students encourages the
Eastern States Cooperative League to
lay its plans early for a similar school
in 1928.

tleships from China, the cancellation
of unequal treaties and the recogni-

SACASA REJECTS
STIMSON "PEACE"
AND DIAz RULE
Liberal Troops Resist
u. S. Intervention

MANAGUA, May 15.-Dr. Juan
Sacasa, president of the Liberal gov
eminent, has repeated his refusal to
accept the "peace terms" which Hen
~ Stimson, personal representative
of President Coolidge, is attempting
to foist on the liberals, or to recog-
nize the government of Adolfo Diaz,
American puppet.
Liberal troops are concentrating at
various points with the intention of
resisting their disarmament by Amer
lean marines. Eight hundred armed
men, under General SANDING, are con-
centrating at Jinotepe it is reported.
u. S. Threatens Force.
That the United States may send
troops to Puerta Cabezas, Liberal
capital, to crush the Sacasa govern
ment appears likely. Liberal sympa-
thisers point to the open threats of
an American attack contained in
Stimson's messages and to the de-
spatch of 500 additional marines by
Secretary of War Wilbur as indica-
tions that the United States intends
to forcibly suppress the Liberal gov
eminent.
Plan Further Control.
Henry Stimson, American Minister
Eberhardt, Adolfo Diaz, Roscoe R.
Hill of the high commission and Mr..
Rosenthal, manager of the Nicara-
guam National Bank, spent several
hours yesterday planning the further
control of Nicaraguan finances by the
United States.

Judge POnders Boss
Bakers Injunction

The temporary injunction issued
against the Bakers Union in Brook
lyn prohibiting picketing of the Pech-
ter Bakeries, was argued last week
in the supreme court with decision
reserved by the presiding Judge on
the question of whether it should be-
come permanent.
According to Hyman Bushel, attor-
ney for the union, more than rs
, pickets have been arrested since the
beginning of the strike. Most of them
have. been released on payment of
fines. Two have been sentenced to
two days in Jail.
Picketing is continuing in front of
all of the Pechter and Messing Bak-
cries.

The bureaus investors found that
the median weekly wage for these
women was $1110, and the years
median earnings 1929. That means
that half the total number Of these
working women were getting less
than that wage, while half were get
ting more.
Tennessee is the home and strong
hold of J. f. Edgerton, textile mill
magnate and president of the Natl.
Assn. Of Manufacturers and the Natl.
Industrial Council. One-half of the
women involved in this study were
employed in the textile industries.
Practically all were native-born and
over nine-tenths were white. The ma
jority Of the 357 found working at
night were on shifts of 10t{ or 1919
hours, and all were textile mill en-
ployes. Nearly two-thirds Of al the
1886 women were on a schedule of
10 hours daily or between 8 and 10.
Low Wage.
In the hosiery mills the median
earnings were 5000, while in the
printing and publishing industry it
was S16.10, and in furniture manu-
featuring it was only $3.50 a week.
LaundI.ies, and the manufacture Of
cigars, wooden boxes and miscellan-
eous wooden products, paid a median
wage of less than 50 a week to their
women workers. The general stores
paid S14.15, and the 5-and-10-cent
stores 1920 a week.
Chattanooga average median
wage for women was $3.50, while
Knoxville paid Sl1.95. Memphis S12.45
and Nashville S11.70.
Unions Improve.
While trade union influence is not
mentioned in the report, it Is evident
in the figures for the printing indus
try. Here the highest wage was
paid-in the one industry in which
women are largely unionized. And
the same indication is seen in the fact
that the shortest hours went with the
best pay. Thus the women who work
ed only 48 hours a week were found
to be making S1G.70, while those who
worked from 81 to 60 hours got from
S11 to SIS a week.
Race Discrimination.
Negro women were paid far less
than white women, as is the rule in
the south. Half of the Negro women
received less than $685., and not one
Of them as much as S22 a week. Only
about one-seventh of them were paid

cooperative selling organizations.
Pool members, according to Bur-
nell, do not have to dump grain on
the market in the fall to meet ex-
penses. Spectators therefore can
not take advantage of forced deliv-
cries to cut the price paid to the
farmer. Members, he said, receive a
payment from the pool when their
grain is harvested and are paid in
full when the wheat is finally sold.
More than S1,00o,000 bushels were
handled by the pools during the
crop year 1924-1925 and approx
mately 212,00O,000 bushels the follow
ing year. 1t is stated that Is 400, 900
acres out of the 21,O00,000 acres of
wheat in western Canada are under
contract to the 3 provincial pools.
The membership now exceeds 142, 1000,
which is approximately Sc per cent
of the total number Of farmers in the
provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan
and Alberta"
Own Elevators.
Canadian pools have more than 700
country elevators and terminal ele-
vators at Port Arthur, Fort William
and Buffalo on the great lakes and
at Vancouver and Prince Rupert on
the Pacific. They maintain export
offices at New York, Montreal and
Vancouver and sales offices at Tor
onto, Ontario, and Paris, France, with
agency connections in all principal
importing countries.
Farm Prices Low.
The Importance of this discussion
20 the American farmer is empha-
sized by the department of agricul-
ture announcement that farm prices
on April Is reached the lowest level
in years. On that date they aver
aged only % per cent above the pre-
war level, compared with &c per cent
above pre-war in March and 40 per
cent above pre-war on April 10, 1926.
The decline has hit every major group
of farm products except dairy and
poultry products. Taking the aver
ages for the period August, 1909, to
July, 1914 as 100 per cent, the de-
partment shows the level of farm
prices in percentage figures as fol-
lows:
