The 1926 profit, after all deductions
in the way of interest on bonds and
preferred dividends, leaves $116,5S4,-
0S8 for the common stockholders of
$17.97 share. This compared with
S90,602,652 and S12.S6 a share in
1925.
CoOlidges Gets A Little.
Pres. Coolidge with his shares Of
steel stock is entitled to about $500
out of the 1926 profit. An unskilled
worker in the steel mills would have
to work more than 2,100 hours to earn
as much for his family as Coolidge
gets without a stroke of work. 1t
may be argued that Calls services to
the steel trust as President of the
United States are worth far more
than 5000 a year. In fact there are
some business authorities, like The
Wall Street journal, who argue that
the mammoth profits of 1926 were
due in considerable measure to the
present occupant of the white house
and his multimillionaire secretary of
the treasury.
George f. Baker, Morgan's right
hand man, with his 5S,450 shares of
steel common stock, shares in 1926
profits to the extent of more than

Antonio Caffini knows something
Of the workings Of the Lewis machine
in District 5, Pittsburg.
In the recent elections he was nom
mated for one Of the district offices
on the "Save the Union ticket. He
received more than the required num-
Der of nominations but also received
a letter from the International secre-
tary telling him he was expelled from
the union.
His name was removed from the bal
lot.
Investigations disclosed that Lew
is district officials had charged that
he had worked in a non-union mine
in 1921. No hearing of any sort was
held. He was. simply expelled.
But Caffinis local union elected
him a delegate to the convention and
he came here bearing n letter from
the president Of his union stating
that he had gone into the non-union
mine at the request Of the men work
ing there to organize local union.
lie succeeded in doing this and the
president of his union stated in his
letter that instead Of being expelled
and removed from the ballot he should
be commended.
Caffini was seated by the conven-

acknowledged that it had framed up

In and Around the Miners Convention

Of the President and that no change
in the official family be made at this
time.
These worthy statements are put
forward in a number Of resolutions.
A perusal Of these resolutions gives
the relentless conclusion that the low
al and hardy 377 are much more con
cerned over the dire poverty Of Pfesi-
dent Lewis with his former paltrv
$4,000 per year-plus expenses-than
they are over tn eplight of the 10000
unoranized miners in West Virginia.
If Lewis can continue to make
union fields into collections Of blue
sky locals as be has in West Vir-
ginia, and just leave enough men,
bers to fill out convention delegates,
there is nothing TO prevent his sal
airy being raised to $4,000 when the
next convention rolls around.
"The smaller the membership the
bigger the official salaries" is the
motto Of the machine in the thirtieth
convention Of the U. NJ. w. Of A.

ers' union band" from District 81

German Women Fill List
Of Industrial Injuries

BERLIN, Germany-Statisties re-
Gently issued by the National Insu-
rance Office of Germany show that in
the year 1924 5000 persons suffered
accidents emitting them to compensa-
ton, against 7G,72S in the preceding
year; the increase affecting both men
and women workers. Most of the
accidents to women workers take
place in agriculture, where there
were 10000 cases, against 1900 in
industry. In industry, most accidents
occur to women engaged in the metal
industry; then come the chemical in
dustry, the printing industry, the
building industry, the textile trades,

GARFINKEL SHOP
CALLS STRIKERS
BACK, IN VAIN
Even Scab Committee
Fails to Move Them

PATERSON, N. j., Feb Am
attempt was made Monday to open
the Garfinkel Ritter underwear shop
here, on strike just two weeks. A
general strike has been in progress
since fifty girls walked out spontan-
eously, and held meetings, organized
the rest, and called in the Interna-
tional Ladies Garment Workers Union
to take charge.
Cards were sent to the girls urging
them to go back to work, and the fore
lady showed up. But nobody else
came.
Scab Committee.
A committee of girls was sent to
the headquarters Of the Associated
Silk Workers at POI Market street,
Paterson, where the strike meetings
are held daily and this committee
tried to get the strikers back to work,
using the arguments of the bosses
that the pay was good, etc., but the
workers refused to listen to them.
The picket line this morning was very
good and the meeting was well at
tended. The spirit of the girls was
excellent and none Of them will re-
turn without a union.
Union On Job.
Saturday night, Jan. %, a dance
was held by the strike committee for
all the workers and their friends and
parents. The affair was we'll at
tended and the organizer of the l.
L. G. W. U. spoke to them urging
them to stay out until a union was
formed.
Relief is coming in steadily. The
Associated Silk Workers gave 500
to the strikers on the second day of
the strike, in addition to offering
them the use of the hall and a vic
trola for their amusement, and the
use Of the office. A committee Of the
strikers went to the meeting of the
Trades and Labor Council of Pater-
son asking for support and assistance.
The Full Fashion Hosiery Workers
gave $25, the local Plumbers Local
gave $50 and the Trades and Labor
Council went on record endorsing the
strike and urging all the affiliated
bodies to contribute to their assist
ance. Local No. 81 of the l. L. G. ".
u. pledged 800 to the strikers with
promise of more money.

These profits compare with $751;
626,S26 in the preceding quarter and
with $42, 280,465 in the last quarter
of 1925. The gain in profits came as
a surprise to Wall street. "The report
seems to demonstrate one thing" The
Wall Street Journal says, "and that is
that the hundreds of millions of dol
lars U. S. Steel has been spending for
improvements and additions are be-
ginning to be reflected in better earn
ings through decreased costs Of pro-
duction."
Higher Than Ever
U. S. Steel profits for the entire
year 1926 were S199, OO4,741. This
exceeds by nearly $2O,0OO,O0O the best
previous peacetime year and is prac-
tically on a par with the war year
1918 when the steel trust made
$199, 350,6S0. The supreme years in
the corporations history were 1916
and 1917 when the war profits were
1898, 574,177 and 1895, 292,1S0.

Dubinsky, Little King
Of Local 10, |. L. G. w.
Makes Promise to Gang

In Local No. 10 of the International
Ladies' Garment Workers a meeting
was held Monday night at which
Dave Dubinsky conducted himself as
usual. He delivered an acrobatic re-
port to small crowd-about hun
dred and fifty members, including his
hired gangsters.
BOnafide members who were sus-
pected of being progressives were
turned back at the door on one ex-
cuse or another, and not allowed in,
even though the meeting was so
small.
SANDERS Everyone.
Dubinsky's report slandered every
body and everything of value to the
union, or that did not follow him in
his destructive policy towards the
union.
Dubinsky during his speech
dropped a few reassuring remarks to
his followers about the expected re-
port Of the impartial chairman, to
whom Sigman has appealed for re-
cognition Of himself and associates,
including, Of course, Dubinsky, as the
real International Ladies' Garment
Workers Union. Dubinsky intimated
that the impartial chairman was on
their side, and that Gas soon as he
gives his decision everything will be
smooth sailing for u.s." Of course
it won't, but Dubinsky's gang pre-
vented adequate contradiction at his
own meeting.
Gang Slugs Shaffer.
Dubinsky's gang has recently again
exercised" upon the head of Brother
Shaffer, a member of Local 10, be-
cause the gang thought he might be
a left. A conspicuous role in this
attack was played by the already i'll
famed Sam Greenberg.
Mondays meeting, and the actiyi-
ties Of the gang under Dubinsky's or
ders, remind the progressives that he
must be curbed.

"Industrialists of the type that
would have plunged us into war
with Mexico and Nicaragua a week

because then the autocracy, with the
backing of the army and navy, would

Fama said that Mussolini had the
support of a million paid black

100000 temporarily subdued Ital-
ians. He prophesied a revolution at
any time. He read letter in which
he protested to Coolidge against the

composed of one representative and one substitute from every European country. Assisted by committees, this tribunal would pass unappealable decisions upon every question which might give rise to violent conflict, including colonial cases
 The decisions would be enforced by united action of all countries against eventual rebels, utilizing as first coercive means economic and diplomatic boycott. Should these measures fail then the international army at the disposal of the tribunal would be called upon.
 According to the plan, all coun- tries would do away with their na- al armies but would merely contrib ute fixed quota of men and weap- ons to an international force under the direct command of the tribunal. The size of this army is roughly sketched at one or two million standing force with three or four
