CURRY PLANS BILL
TO UNITY DEFENSES
Californian Would Put Army,
Navy and All Aeronautics
in One Group.


By the Associated Press.
An effort to concentrate all the mil
itary forces of the Nation under one
department of the Government is to
be attempted again at the next SEES
sion of Congress by Representative
Curry. Republican, California.
The department, to be known as the
department of national defense. would
be created under bill which Repre-
sentative Curry said today he planned
to introduce at the outset of the SEES
sion. The Californian had a similar
measure before Congress at the last
session, but it was not reported out
by the House military affairs com
mittee.
Under the measure Mr.. Curry pro
poses to group the Army, Navy and
aviation into one governmental de
partment with a cabinet member al
it's head and undersecretaries for the
three groups The aviation branch
of the proposed department would not
only direct the military air activities
but also would have the supervision
of civilian aviation, as the latter
group would be classified as a poten-
tial military force.
The bill, which Mr.. Curry has
named the national defense act, fol
| lows the plan adopted by the Amerl-
can Legion at it's Paris convention.
1t is understood that Army and Navy
officials generally oppose the plan OF
a concentration of the military
branches.

wisdom from which the bourgeoisie is
at liberty to draw its own conclusions,
with regard to the present economic
crisis: "The results of the industrial
crisis and their effect on the cur
rency must be divided fairly among
all the factors of industry" Ii. e.,
among workers and employers). In
the official text of the charter, pub
lished on the 21st of April, sometime
after its appearance in many papers,
this clause is omitted.
The charter generously acknowl-
edges the right of workers engaged
on night work, or at least those not
working on the ordinary night shift,
to raised wages. A minimum rate for
these raised wages, has, however, not
been established. Silence is maintain
ed on the subject of overtime pay,
it being evidently considered that the
supplementary 10 per cent established
by fascist legislation is quite enough
for the worker. The charter enjoins
on the workers the strict and "inten-
sive" observation of working hours,
while the employers receive no rec
concentrations on this score. Strange
to relate the charter says not a word
about the eight-hour day which is
formally supposed to be practiced in
Italy and about which the fascist
never lose an opportunity, in season
and out of season, to boast. This
clearly shows the fascists' intentions
with regard to the establishment of a
standard working day. Here follow
series of injunctions which have
long ago been included in practice in
collective agreements and are nothing
new: The Sabbath rest, the payment
of piece-work in such way that they
represent an addition to the workers
normal pay, the right of workers to a
few days annual holiday after not
less than a years work chow many,
the charter does not say), the right
to full discharge payment, etc.
The employer has the right to fine,
discharge for a certain time, or dis
charge without any payment workers
infringing the discipline and normal
course Of industry" according to
gravity of offense. Conflict commits
sions in enterprises or any sort Of
labor representation for the solution
Of conflicts and the defence Of the
workers interests in the localities are,
as is well known, not recognized by
the fascists.
Labor exchanges, according to the
charter, will be under the authority
Of the corporation. The employers
are given absolute freedom to choose
from those registered in labor ex-
changes, with one small" limitation
quite in keeping with fascist right to
work. They are bound to engage first
Of all members Of the fascist party
and fascist trade unions according to
their party and trade union status.
The Charter as the Prelude 10 Fresh
Attack on the Working Class.
Such is the famous labor charter,
the last word Of fascist demagogic
technology.
The publication Of this charter does
not ease the position Of the working
class by a single jot. Rather may it
be regarded as a prelude TO a fresh
attack on the working class. For it
is the popularity Of fascism to mask
every fresh criminal idea aimed
against the interests Of the workers
with smoke-screen Of high-sounding
declarations.

Paul Crouch, who, together with
Walter Trumbull, was sent to Jail in
April, 1925, because of revolutionary
activity in the American Army in
Hawaii, was released on June first.
He has served his term in Alcatraz
Prison, California, since that date.
Alcatraz is VIGOROUSLY one Of the
worst jails in the country.
Paul Crouch was the organizer and
leading figure of the Hawaiian Com
munist League, whose objects were to
improve the conditions of the sol
diers in the army and also to endeavor
to liberate the natives from the yoke
of American Imperialism. Altho it
could not be shown that they had in
any way violated any laws or army
regulations, Paul Crouch was SEN
fenced to serve DO years in Jail, Wal
ter Trumbull was sentenced to %
years Imprisonment and other men
were dishonorably discharged from
the army, This brutal procedure
aroused such storm among work
ers and farmers, and among the sol
diers, that the government was com
PEELED to commute the sentences to 8
years for Crouch and Is months for
Trumbull. The usual reductions for
good behavior enabled both of them
to leave prison somewhat before the
terms expired.
We extend our heartiest greetings
to Comrade Crouch. We welcome him
into the revolutionary movement. The
work he began in Hawaii will be con-
tinued. The example he set will be
followed by thousands of young work
ers. The sacrifice he made for the
movement will not have been made in
vain.
We have learned that it is contem-
plated to arrange national anti-im
perialist, anti war tour for Comrade
Crouch.

The charter IS a hybrid mixture of
general statements, good intentions
and a few injunctions and is, more
over, by no means an official legal
act, but merely a declaration of the
Great Council" of the fascist party,
in which both employers organiza-
tons and the fascist monopolist trade
unions are represented.
The Corporation As State.
The first clause Of the charter is
devoted to the laying down of the
principles and organization of the
Corporation as State" This clause
states that 'the Italian nation is an
organism which in it's aims, life and
means of resistance is more important
than the individuals or organized
groups of which it is composed. It
represents a spiritual political and
economic unit which is entirely en-
bodied in the fascist state. Labor in
all it's aspects--brain-work, technical
work and manual labor--is a social
duty and as such is under state con-
troll"
Further come asseverations that
"trade union organization is free! 1t
is true an explanation follows that
only legally recognized monopolist ii.
e., fascist unions under state control
have the right to represent the in
terests of their members, both before
the state and before other trade
union organizations. They alone have
the right to conclude collective agree
ments binding on all and impose COM
pulsory dues.
Having thus established the unal-
terable freedom according to fascist
standards of the trade unions, the
charter goes on to explain the mean
ing of the collective agreement which
it appears is nothing but an express
sion of the solidarity existing between
labor and capital, since in the agree
ment "the conflicting interests of en-
ployers and employed are reconciled
and their submission to the higher
interests of industry achieved"
These phrases, which may be boiled
down to the simple fact that the work.
ers and employees ought to work not
for their selfish interests but in the
higher interests Of industry" ii. e.,
the employers pocket while the en-
ployer answers for his actions only to
the state ii. e., to himself) are re-
garded by the fascists as new dis
covery, as the establishment of equal
ity between labor and capital.
Another point TO which the fascist
attribute vast importance is the ex-
preston in the charter Of something
between a desire and an order that
all employers and labor organizations
should conclude collection agreements
only for the members represented by
them. All agreements must contain
clauses dealing with standards for
discipline within enterprises, with
length of probation period for newly
engaged workers, with methods and
rates Of wages and with working
hours.
The charter refrains from the es-
Establishment of minimum wages in
spite Of the demands of the fascist
labor unions. Wages are to be fixed
by agreement with the respective or
CARNATIONS, and in case Of it being
found impossible to come to an agree
ment, by labor court whose deci-
sions must be ruled by normal de-
mands according to cost Of living, in
dustrial potentialities, and labor pro-
ductivity." Further follow words Of

Made Business of
Affairs of Honor

Hungary is still the land of expert
saber wielders and duelists. There is
nothing many Hungarians would like
better than to fight duel on a misty
morning, provided it could be got over
with in time for them to walk up and
down the CorsO, alongside the Danube.
Usually the swords or sabers cleave
the air or draw just sight of blood.
For duel one needs seconds and
weapons as well as the time and place.
A Budapest lawyer supplied these
needs, and in time developed quite a
business, with seconds ready to be
called upon at any hour, usually a
very early one. An army captain who
did not favor this commercial way of
carrying out duels brought the lawyer
to court on the charge Of taking
money for organizing duels. The law

Regard Railroad Track
as Real Danger Signal

Every motorist on approaching a
railroad crossing should look and
listen for trains, according to the legal
department Of the National Automo-
bile club. The courts have ruled that
travellers upon public highway, in
attempting to cross over railroad
crossings, must look and listen atten-
lively for the approach of trains. If
such a traveller, by the exercise Of
reasonable care, could have seen the
approach of train by looking in time
to have avoided injury. it will be pre-
sumed, in case he is injured. that he
either did not look or If he did look.
that he did not heed.
A railroad track is itself signal
of danger and one attempting to cross
1t must first look and listen, and. If
necessary, stop, look and listen for
an approaching train. This rule is
only the standard of necessary eau
ton and care.

Shattering Glass Cause
of Motor Car Accidents

Sixty-five per cent of the injuries
received in automobile, accidents are
caused by broken and flying glass from
windshields and windows, according
to the first analysis ever made of the
causes Of injury to motorists, conf
pleted by the Massachusetts Mutual
Liability Insurance association.
No figures on this subject have ever
been collected before, and the insur-
ance body therefore undertook its own
investigation Of all accidents on which
detailed data were available. The re-
suits show that in 1000 accidents, in
volving 1900 motorists. 720 people
were injured. OF these, 467, or 65 per
cent, were cut by glass fragments.
The accidents occurred in 26 states.
The injuries varied from slight cuts
to severed Jugular veins resulting in
death.

POULTRY
FATS
HEN EGGS STAND
HEAVY PRESSURE

That an ordinary hens egg will
stand heavy pressure was proved in
an exhibit which the poultry depart.
ment at the College Of Agriculture at
Ithaca displayed at the New York
state fair.
A 16-pound steel sledge hammer was
arranged SO that 1t came down on the
egg once minute. being raised and
lowered automatically. The egg was
placed on a scale which registered the
pressure; extra weight was. applied
and the egg stood the weight of 20
pounds, or all that the scales would
register. A special trial was made
when still more weight was applied
on the handle Of the sledge, and it Is
estimated that the egg stood more
than so pounds pressure before 1t
broke.
The purpose Of the demonstration
was to show the pressure that an or.
binary egg would stand, and to show
why it was desirable to produce eggs
with strong shells. Strong shelied
eggs ship best, and evaporate least !;
this prclongs their freshness, and
pleases the consumer, because great
er proportion of them reach the mar
ket in good condition.
''This is the first time such an ar
rangement has been used to demon
strate the strength of the shells Of hen
eggs" according to c. K. Powell, in
charge Of the exhibit. Usually, the
breaking strength has been tested by
pressing the eggs between two hard.
wood blocks"
Breaking strength Of eggs indicates,
to some extent. breeding and feeding
Of the hens. Minerals must make up a
part of the ration, and, in this connec-
ton, it is said that cod liver oil aids
in the assimilation of the minerals by
the birds.
