Washington, D. c. Deportation
without trial, in cases numbered per-
haps by the hundreds, certainly by the
scores, has thrown a new prison ship
into the category of hated hulks OF
world history. 1t is the Maximo Go.
mez, which lies in an isolated section
of the bay at Havana, Cuba. Through
it, during the past year, have passed
many of Cuba's most truly patriotic
sons. For the foreigner in Cuba the
Maximo Gomez has been a constant
menace, lowering iron demon.
Within the last two weeks | have
talked with men who have gone
through this stark prison ship. The
Maximo Gomez was taken from the
Germans during the World War. II
is without accommodations for prison
ers. That it has not become a pest
hole is a sheer miracle.
Number of DeportatiOns is Mystery
Deportation is the fate reserved
particularly for foreigners whom the
president of Cuba does not like, OF
who are reported to him as undersir-
able. So terrible is this floating dun
geon that men fear it second only to
death. No one knows how many de.
portations there have been within the
year. A thousand? Two thousand
Five thousand? No one, save perhaps
the highest government officials, can
tell. Therein is a part of the horror
of it. 1t swallows men and they dc
not come back.
Cubans, too, are deported. There
was one Cuban who ran for a loca
political office. His election was con.
tested on grounds of non-citizenship
His record was examined and Presi.
dent Machado himself certified to the
mans Cuban citizenship. One year

portation of the same man as "per

not exist. If, in an unusual case, the
prisoners friends discover his arrest
in time and sue for writ, it is craft
lily withheld until the prisoner is on
the high seas, beyond reach. Thus
the fiction of maintaining the law is
somewhat maintained. But men who
go down into the bowels of the Maxi

put aboard ship for over seas.
Spaniards Now Avoid Cuba
Most of the deportees have been
Spanish. SO has the terror of the
prison ship spread that Spanish sea-
sonal immigration for the sugar sea-
son has practically ceased, forcing
upon the unhappy island new and
serious problem The sugar season
runs from 80 to 120 days. 1t is ham

workers, formerly mostly Spanish.
With these workers literally afraid to
come to Cuba, fearing deportation or
death, black Jamaicans and Haitiens
are manning the fields this year.
They come in for the season, the en-
ployer engaging to see that they de-
part when it is over Experience has
taught that they do not all go home.
Many remain, creating a new prob
lem. Their living standards are low

Three Secretaries DepOrted
One of the most amazing of the de-
portation cases involves the organiza-
tion known as the Federation of
Workers of the Ports, or Longshore-
men. A little more than a year ago
the secretary of this organization, a
Cuban with large family, was eXil-
ed for a period of year.
The union elected successor to the
exiled secretary. This secretary was
at once deported. Another successor
was elected and he, too, was deport-
ed. After the deportation of this
third successive secretary the union
stopped electing secretaries.

Union Carpenters Approve
Settlement of Strike In
California Bay District
By International Labor News Service

By International Labor News Service
indianapolis, Ind - According to
the vote of union carpenters of the
District Council of Carpenters of Cali
fornia, the agreement between the
union and the Industrial Association
of the Bay region has been ratified by
the members. The vote was 1872 for
and 623 against.
Under this agreement the strike is
officially terminated. The District
Council agrees to retire from the
building material business on both
sides of the Bay. The Industrial AS
sociation agrees to abolish the mate
rial permit system, except in cases
where the contractors refuse to paw
the So day wage scale to carpen-
ters.
According to information from
headquarters of the United Brother
hood of Carpenters and Joiners here.
the ratification of the agreement was
not expected. Although the agree
ment was not altogether what the
union desired, it was the best one
that could be negotiated under the
circumstances, it was said.
General Organizer Muir, of the
union, who had charge of the situa-
ton in California, says that in his
opinion the agreement is step to-
ward collective bargaining which will
lead to satisfactory solution of the

Miserably Low Wages Paid
In Cotton and Wooden Mills,
Government Study Reveals

mills. For women, the usual wage in
week, and in the North SIS and $25
A similar study of wages and hours
in the wooden and worsted goods in
dustries in 1926 shows decrease of
approximately s per cent in full-time
earnings per week between 1924 and
1926, the average earnings of men in
all occupations combined having de-
creased from S28.44 in 1924 to $26.87
in 1926, those of women from $22.84
to $20.61, and of men and women
combined from S26.17 to $24.21.
AS with the cotton goods industry,
1920 was the peak year for wages in
woolen and worsted mills. Between
1920 and 1922 there was a pronounced
decrease. This was followed by an
increase in 1924, and this increase
was followed in turn by decrease
in 1926.
Bad Economic Condition Indicated
The figures reveal that many thou
sands of textile workers are getting
wages barely sufficient for existence
and give point to the demand of SEN
ator David l. Walsh, of Massachu-
sets, for an investigation of economic
conditions Senator Walsh introduced
resolution for such an investiga-
tion but it was not acted upon because
of the long -drawn-out filibuster in the
closing hours of the senate sessions.

MEETING CALLED
To Plan UniOnizatiOn of Mo-

Washington, D. C.-By authority
of the executive council of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, meeting
has been called for March "a at the
A. F. of l.. building in Washington to
consider plans for the organization
of the automobile industry.
This is to be continuation of an ad-
journed meeting held last December
at which it was decided to convene
representatives of the interested
unions who should carry power from
their respective organizations te
waive jurisdictional barriers to g
united drive.
A resolution passed at the last ses-
sion of the executive council advocat-
ed that workers in the auto industry
be organized into federal unions until
such time as sufficient strength is de-
veloped to warrant separation into
their respective crafts.

industrial problems which have caused
SO much dissatisfaction in this dis
trict.
The strike had been on for many
months and the action of the employ
ers compelled the international union
to go into the material business in
order to supply contractors employing
union carpenters with supplies. I'm

ton, contractors employing union Ia
Dor exclusively could not buy build
ing material from members of
the association. Contractors were
forced to agree to use union and nom

Washington, D. C.-Wages have
increased and hours of labor decreased
for workers in the cotton mill indus
try since 1913, but wages are still
miserably low, especially when meas
ured by the decreased purchasing
power of the dollar
The same is true of wages and
hours in the wooden and worsted in
idustry.
These conclusions are drawn from
study of payroll records of cotton,
woolen and worsted mills made by the
United States department of labor.
The federal investigators studied pay
rolls of cotton goods mills in New
England and in the Southern states
in which the cotton goods industry is
centered. The investigation of WOOL
en- and worsted mills payrolls was
made in the North.
Average Wage $17.48
The average weekly wage in the
cotton mill industry has increased 105
per cent since 1913,. but men cotton
mill workers made only an average of
: $18.67 week last year, which is
$3.11 a day, or about $81 month.
Women made an average of $3.50 a
week, which is $2.65 day, or $68 .85
a month.
Cotton mill wages were highest in
1920. They dropped in 1922, took a
squirt upward in 1924 and have been
falling since then. Average full-time
earnings per week of males decreased
from $2O.87 in 1924 to $1S.67 in 1926,
those of females from $18.15 to $3.50
and earnings in the industry as a
whole from $19.72 to $1748.
The only occupation in the factory
that pays an average of more than
$50 per week requires an average of
only 25 men. Two other occupations
requiring together All average of
about 28 to factory pays $26 week.
Three other occupations requiring to-
gether an average of rs men pay be-
tween $20.50 and $22.25 a week.
These are all men. The others, both
men and women, get an average of
under $50 a week and as low as $11
and SIP.
Miserable Pay for Women
These are average wages the coun-
try over and are higher than the
wages of Southern mill workers and
lower than those of Northern mill
workers. The usual wage for men
workers is from S12 to SIG and SIT a
week in the Southern mills and from
$18 to $24 week in the Northern
