Hoover Will Spend
Million on SURVEY
To Increase Profit

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-An ex-
haustive investigation of the COM
mercial channels through which thou
sands of commodities in general use
in the United States reach the mar
ket, is planned by Secretary of Com
merce Hoover.
The commerce department contem-
plates distribution survey" of the
entire country in connection with the
1880 census or shortly thereafter,
Hoover announced today.
Cost Million.
A committee Of experts from the
commerce department and the census
bureau will consider the project prior
to the next session of congress and
may recommend legislation for ap-
preparations, Hoover believes that the
census would cost about S1,00O,O0O.
Through the study of commercial
channels the government would be
able to furnish to private industry an
exact analysis Of the country's highly
complicated business system which
might lead to the tapping of new sour
ces of profit by middlemen where
farm products, etc, are concerned, or
might permit the bigger trusts to
wipe out few middlemen here and
there, or undercut their smaller com
petitors.
1t is not expected that information
which throws discredit on our social
system or gives material facts about
the degree of exploitation of labor
will be made public. The purely bust
ness use Of the census are being en-
phasized,

FRAME-UP OF TWO

Continued from page u
from that pursued by the Boston De-
Tense Committee"
Carlo Tresca's speech, while not de-
liyered in time to be printed in this
issue of The DAILY WORKER, will
be reported in Mondays paper. He
is understood to be in agreement with
Levine on the necessity of handling
the present frame-up of Greece and
Garlic in a manner that will rally
the whole working class back of their
defense.
The Civic Clubs meeting was held
at IS East Tenth street and was pre-
sided over by Arthur Warner, editor
ofsThe Nation.
What is looked upon by many
workers as the beginning of a new
Sacco-Vanzetti frame-up is the COM
ing trial on first degree murder
charges of two Italian workers who
are enemies of fascism and Musso-
lini's bloody regime in Italy.
They are Calogero Greece and
Donate Garlic who were arrested
last Memorial Day charged with muir
dering two fascists named Joseph
Carisi and Nicholas Amorroso. The
last two named were members of the
Fascist League of North America.
When their bodies reached Italy they
were given a state funeral by the
Italian government.

When killed they were dressed in
the conventional fascist garb, part of
which is a black shirt with cross
bones and skull inscribed on it. This
insignia, it is said, means "Intoler-
ance to the enemy, death to the
enemy"
Carisi and Amorroso were bound
for the headquarters of the Fascist
League of North America where they
were to join several hundred of their
colleagues and march in the Memorial
Day parade.
On their way there they engaged in
knife fight with one or possibly
two unknown men, who killed them.
Held For Murder.
Charged with killing these two sup
porters of fascism, Greece and Garlic
were arrested and held on murder
charges. While they do not resemble
in appearance those who fought the
Mussolinites, the fact that they are
opposed to the existence of the black

Workers School to Give
Foreign Born Mastery
of English Language

The English courses of the
Workers School are designed to aid
the workers, and especially the
foreign-born worker, to attain an
effective mastery of the English
language so that he may be better
equipped for participation in the
life of his union, his party or his
class generally.
The subject matter in the various
courses is drawn from the life and
interests Of the workers. The
method used develops a maximum
of self-expression on the part of
the student. Teachers are selected
not onl yon the basis of their
technical equipment, but also on
the basis of their contact with the
labor movement and familiarity
with it's life.
The courses are carefully graded
with six different divisions so as
to meet the needs of workers Of
val 4OtAo uSSISCS VI pISNlOuo u air
ing. The object of the lower ele-
mentary course elementary AZ
and the higher elementary course
elementary b is to teach the
pupil as quickly as possible, to
read, write and speak the English
language. The two Intermediate
Courses "a and b are for those
who have already had some instruc-
ton in English or have been in
America for a long period of time.
Advanced English "a and b are
for those who can express them
selves both orally and in writing,
but who wish to perfect their mas
terry Of the language.
For more detailed information
regarding these courses, see the
catalog of the Workers School
which can be secured by writing
to 6ertram D. Wolfe, director of
the school, or by calling at 1.-The
office, Room 80, los East 14th St.,

Equity, Actors Union,
Breaks With Managers

Charging that the theatrical man
ayers have been guilty of a number
of serious violations, the Actors
Equity Association, thru its executive
secretary, Frank Gilmore, announced
Yesterday that its contract with them
made on May u, 1924 is terminated.
The basic charge by the actors is
that the managers association has ad-
mitted several theaters, including Eva
lie Gallienne's Civic Repertory, with
out it's permission.
A number of other charges, includ-
ing salary discrimination, ETC., are
made by the Equity Association.

CHICAGO JOINT
BOARD REFUSES
BOSSES IDEAL"

CHICAGO, Sept. 23.-The Chicago
Joint Board, Cloak and Dressnakers
Union has refused all offers Of a deal
made by several bosses and had gone
on record to fight with renewed en-
ergy for the benefit Of the rank and
file members Of the organization.
The Joint Board officials have in
formed the bosses that they still rep
resent the membership and will not
allow any reduction of wages and
frightening of hours at the expense
Of the workers.
The right wing is fighting the Joint
Board at several fronts at the same
time. 1t is hiring scores of gangsters
and strong arm men to beat up the
active unionists. Injunctions are be-
ing served on the workers daily. Many
workers are being hailed to court
charged with contempt, but that does
not stop the fighting determination
of the workers.
During the last few days several
more workers have been thrown out
of the shops because they refused to
line up with the sca5 right wing.
Strikes will be called in all these
shops. Tremendous picketing demon
STATIONS will be held in front Of all
the struck shops next week.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 28.-Long

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-Long-
shoremen, harbor repairmen or divers
who may suffer industrial injuries
while employed in breaking up YES
sci for salvage of it's material, cannot
collect compensation under the new
Longshoremen's Compensation Act.
This is the ruling of the Commits
sion established by the federal gov
eminent to enforce the new law. 1t
is based on the argument that when
the employer is breaking up ship
for junk, his workers are not zen
gagged in maritime employment" un-
der the meaning of the definition
found in the law. Hence the men who
may be raising a sunken bulk, or cut
ting it in pieces, are without protec-
ton in case of injury or fatal acct
dent.

Legal Precedent of Use
to Millionaires in Tax
Case of Copper" Clark

In abandoning its attempt to tax
the entire $48,0O0,000 estate of the
late William A. Clark, Montana cop
per king, the state of New York was
believed to have established a far
reaching legal precedent today. The
state had sought to tax the entire
holdings of the Clark estate, although
only about 100000 Of the total
property was physically located in
New York. State counsel had con-
tended that inasmuch as Clark had
made his home here all property,
either in New York or elsewhere was
subject to state taxation. Clark had
maintained a residence here for rs
years, spending about five months of
each year in the city. The states
abandonment of their case marked the
end of thirty months litigation.

AmundSen Forced to
PunCture FaSCiSt'S
Leadership Claims

Amundsen, noted explorer who in
1926 first flew over the North Pole
in dirigible has punctured the claims
of the Fascist that their man, Mobile,
was responsible for the success of
the exposition. Immediately after the
return of the explorers, Mobile went to
Italy where he was politically feted
by Mussolini, and where he issued the
following grandiose statement:
81 directed the construction of the
airship in Italy. I directed the entire
technical organization Of the flight.
1 was commander of the airship dur
ing the entire flight from Rome to
Teller. l was commander of the air
I ship. Everybody on board obeyed my
orders in all things concerning the
flight.
cray For Benito"
''It was Mussolini who ordered the
flight" Mobile declared The idea of
using dirigible in crossing the Pole
originated with Italians and the
greatest responsibility for the success
or failure of the flight rested with the
Italians. Amundsen and Ellsworth and
the others should have their share of
credit, but first of all it should go to
Mussolini. Amundsen had the same
idea but after mine"
Amundsen in his memoirs just pub
lished in New York tells how Mobile
schemed and plotted to have his name
associated with the expedition, how
he offered the airship free if it would
carry the Italian flag-an offer which
was rejected.
MussOlini In Plot.
"Nobile," says Amundsen, Gin all of
these maneuvers was trying desper-
ately to insinuate himself into a posi-
ton of major command Of the
expedition. Later events on the flight
convinced me that this was not merely
the product of Mobiles personal van
ity and ambition-though these were
great enough, in all conscience. l
became pretty well convinced that he
was also acting under orders from
the Government. They saw an OPP
portunity to seize the credit"
Amundsen relates how Mobile near
ly plunged the Norge into the ice on
two occasions while crossing the Polar
regions, and how only the quick work
Of Riiser-Larsen, navigator, saved the
airship and the crew; while another
time he permitted the ship to rise so
rapidly that it got out Of control.

Trenton Newspaper
Owner Anxious 10
Collect on Europe

TRENTON, N. j., Sept. 23.-James
Kearney, publisher Of the Trenton
Times, came home a sadly disillu-
stoned man from his trip to Europe,
and thirsting for payment of the war
debts. This was evident in the speech
he made at a welcoming dinner given
him by a group of business men here
last night, in which he said in part:
cold world politicians are a smart
lot. While flooding America with in
dustrial bonds they talk beautiful nom
sense about national poverty and adj
justmcnts that will keep the peace.
Meanwhile their armies and military
budgets are as large as in 1913. Mus
solini yearns for world power and
nothing seems quite so sick as the
League of Nations. Most of Wood
row Wilson's dreams have been
scrapped.
No Idealism."
eve might as well face the cold
truth: Idealism is stone dead among
French and English controlling pol
iticians.
France, with Poincare as the mas
ter mind, waves the sword and pen
Piles the peaceful Rhineland with
troops. England thinks only Of domi-
mating the seas and mans soul is
not his own under Mussolini.
"If the French devoted the same eff
fort to honest labor as they give to
crying about war debts, they would
soon be able to settle. But they don't
want to pay and they loaf around
waiting for Santa Claus. France has
the second largest gold reserve in the
world and the annual incomes of
France, England and Germany are
greater than in pre-war days.
Germany, stripped of her army
and placed in bondage by the Dawes
plan, alone is a hive of industry and
unless wiped out by another war will
soon outstrip her neighbor nations.
Germanys recovery is not due to the
politicians but to it's industriahsts,
shipping men and chemical concerns"

Tourists to View
Achievements Of
The Soviet Union

With the approach of October 18th,
the day the party of American work
ers sails to Soviet Russia on the
eight weeks tour arranged by World
Tourists, Inc, those who have already
made reservations are anXiously
awaiting their arrival in the one
country which has achieved the rule
of the proletariat.
More than any individual visitor to
Soviet Russia, they will be enabled to
witness the achievements of the
Soviets. This because of the active
participation of the U. S. S. r. Com
mittee of Cultural Relations with
Foreign Countries of Soviet Russia,
Many institutions and museums of
revolutionary interest will be opened
to the tourists, who will be welcomed
as an official delegation of American
workers.
Date Approaching.
The preparations for the celebra-
tions of the tenth anniversary of the
Russian revolution are becoming
more intensified with the rapid ap-
preach Of the date. Never before in
the history of a people will such
spontaneous demonstrations of joy
have been witnessed-de
which are not foisted onto the masses
by a ruling class with its own inter
est at stake, but which will be a uni
fled mass expression of thanksgiving.
In connection with the celebrations,
too, the members Of the tour will have
privileges accorded to them which the
individual visitor will miss. If they
choose, members of the World Tour
lists group may actively participate in
the celebrations; they will have the
rare opportunity of expressing their
own feelings in conjunction with the
similar expression by their Russian
comrades.
Must Apply Soon.
World Tourists, Inc, announce that
all applications will have to be re-
ceived at their office, So Fifth ave-
nue., New York City, very shortly.
The sooner definite number of ap-
plications are received and the tour
will be closed to further applicants,
the better will be the accommodations
arranged for the tourists in Lenin-
grad and Moscow.
There is still a considerable num-
Der Of people who intend to accom-
pany the tour but have not yet sent
their applications, since there is still
about three weeks before sailing.
However, those are urged to act i'm
mediately or they will not be ac-
cepted. World Tourists, Inc, exper-
fenced the same delay in their first
tour, run last summer; at the very
last few days they received large
number of applications and these
they had to refuse.
