boss calls upon the workers to do so.
No mention is made for extra pay
ment for such overtime.
Really Nine-hour Day.
On the whole then the commits
sion's report is not for a 491a hour
week, but for a 51-hour week, and
leaves it to the employer to grant
The halliday rest either for Monday,
Thursday, Saturday, or any other
day. 1t also legalizes the overtime
employment at straight wage-rate
payments. Be it said here to the
credit of assemblyman Hackenburg,
that he voted against the 4S-hour
bill as drawn up, and stated that his
concept Of the 48-hour bill would be
one without any provision for extra
work
Mervin K. Hart, representative of
the employers, emphatically opposed
any restriction of working hours;
which shows how backward some in
dustrialists still are. At the same
time it is hoped that such state
ments will force conservative labor
leaders to fight more aggressively
Cor the passage of 4S-hour law.
Kovelski Rather Timld.
Labor was represented on this
commission by Emanuel Kovelski,
president of the State Fedora
ton of Labor. While his fight for
the 48-hour bill was weak, neverthe-
less he did make an aggressive at
tempt to have payments under the
state compensation insurance in
creased from 500 to $40 per week.
He opposed the commissions recon-
mendation not to bring about any
changes in labor laws for the next
five years and also attacked certain
building trades unions for closing
their books and thus to prevent adj
mission Of new members to their or
CARNATIONS.
The report reaffirmed the present
system of bi-monthly wage pay
nlents, and also allowed such pay
ments to be made in checks.
On the whole the commissions re-
port is as reactionary as any report
dealing with employment regulation
could be. The commission at all
times had the employers interest in
view, and actually leaves it to their
discretion to regulate the working
hours as it will best serve their in
terest.
Altho, as stated above, Hacken-
burg and Koveleski made objections
to a few points, yet it is significant
that the report was Signed by the
entire membership of the commits
sion.

NEW YORK STATE INDUSTRIAL SURVEY REPORT
PROVIDES FOR NINE HOUR DAY CALLED EIGHT

The industrial survey commission,
appointed last year by the state
Legislature to investigate the indus
trial conditions pertaining to en-
ployment of labor, has rendered its
report. The mountain labored and
brought forth mouse.
While every member of the CON-
mission admits that he is in favor
OF a 48-hour work bill for women
workers. yet it is pointed out that
not enough material has been ac
cumulated to show the feasibility Of
such a law. 1t therefore recon-
mcnds that the commission be in
structed to continue it's work and
make definite recommendations by
next year.
For this year the commission re-
commends to the legislature to regu-
late the working hours for women
as follows: 49h hours shall consti-
tute one weeks work; these hours
to be divided SO that one half day
will be free. In other words the re-
port calls for 9 hours work for five
days week and Az hours for the
remaining day.
1t is to be observed, however, that
the report does not specify on what
DAY the short hours shall be worked.
whether on Mondays or Saturdays.
Evidently any day suitable to the
employers would be acceptable. In
fact the recommendations as whole
are drawn up to "provide the neces-
sary elasticity for certain industries"
In order to give this elasticity" the
4S-hour law is shelved, and to make
sure that the employers are not ham
pered in any way, provision is made
that within the period of one year
the employer may work his employ

The next day, Prof. Moon of Column
bia University, delivered an address
on our relations with Nicaragua.
Moon believes that it is one of the
functions Of industrialized countries
to take their civilization to the less
developed countries. "The Monroe
Doctrine meant keep your hands off,
imperialism means keep your hands
on" he explained. He condemned the
manner in which the U. S. government
has interfered in Nicaragua, and de-
clared that force must be kept out of
the field of development. Imperial
ism is correct, but violence must be
avoided.
Dislikes Hypocrisy.

tration over armed force-then go

Chinese Writer Tells Of
Soviet Aim
By HARRY FREEMAN.

Chinese workers will sweep out for
eign imperialists from Shanghai just
as they swept them out from Han
'kow, H. Linson, editor Of the Chinese
Nationalist Daily, asserted today in
a special statement to The DAILY
WORKER.
"The general strike in Shanghai
will clear the way for the nationalist
army" he declared. "The terrorist
tactics Of General Sun, the so-called
defender of Shanghai, will not pre-
vent the workers of Shanghai from
sweeping out the foreign imperial
lists as well as their lackeys, the war
lords"
Comparing the Shanghai strike to
the great Leningrad strike that pre-
ceded the October revolution in Rus
STA, Linson said: "There are many
reasons for believing that the Shang-
hal workers will take over the fac
tories just as their Russian comrades
did in 1917"
Gust Native Capitalists Too.
The working class constitutes the
backbone Of the revolutionary move
ment and with the proper leadership
they viii succeed in ending the ex-
ploitation of the workers and peas

capitalists"
Linson praised the students for
their staunch support Of the nation

AS a matter of fact, we never get
the real truth for such actions until
years after. And then, we discover
that financial. interests were back Of
such actions more than we were led
to believe at the time. Such inter-
vention looks like Imperialism.
Carmi Thompson also came to town
to expatiate on his views regarding
the Philippines before the chamber
of commerce, the foreign policy con-
ference having in the meantime adj
journed to a hotel. Filipino in
dependence should be deferred until
the islands have proved themselves
economically independent, with the
added warning that, if such is to be,
the present militaristie government as
inaugurated by Governor General
Wood must be succeeded by a real
cooperation between the executive
and legislative branches Of the Philip
pine government"
Thompson admits that there are
two outstanding political parties in
the islands, and although they differ
on internal policies, they are unani-
nous on independence. 81 believe
that virtually the entire voting popu-
lation is for independence. Every
child in the school is taught the cry
for Independence" Thompson de-
ciared that the philippines can raise
sufficient rubber, camphor and cof-
fee to break the monopolies in these
necessary commodities which foreign
nations now maintain to the disad-
vantage Of the American and also the
Filipino"

Manager On the Make
Indifference of Rank
And File, Wreck Coop.

MINNEAPOLIS -FP). - The
bankruptcy of the great cooperative
Associated Textile of Minneapolis,
with a probable loss to the coopera-
tive stockholders of $250,O00 is a
severe blow, says the Northern
States Cooperative League, but not
attributable to cooperation itself.
Analysing the disaster, the league
shows that it was due to neglect
of cooperative principles that is or
dinarily avoided in even the smallest
cooperative unit. Among the causes
of the failure the league lists:
1. A board Of directors of labor
men that were little more than fig
ureheads. "a good labor man is not
automatically a good co-operator", it
remarks.
Bad Manager.
2. A manager, H. Naphtalin, who
was heavily on the make and "who
either was dishonest or utterly de-
void of an understanding of the aims
and principles of cooperation" He
inventoried the stock at 100000
when an independent appraisal plac-
ed it at only $4,000. Though stock
holders were led to believe that the
cooperative had made over $4,000,
an Independent audit showed a loss
Of $270,000. The first proper audit
was made in December 1926 after
the coop had been in existence 3
years. But then it was too late.
indifference.
3. Indifference of the cooperative
members. "Most Of them, the league
rather bitterly reflects, "were
just investors, expecting only to get
regularly a good interest on their
money but never expecting TO be
bothered with the worries of super
vising the affairs Of the organiza-
tion."
a. Greater vigilance should have
been exercised by the league itself
with which the Associated Textile
was affiliated. "From now on we
are going to keep our eyes open in
this respect" the league asserts.
