L
star that the ball players Of
II today are far more congenial
with each other than those of twenty
or twenty-five years back.
However, baseball today is a diff
ferent game in many ways from the
brand of a decade ago. 1t has i'm
proved in some ways, refrigerated in
others.
Dressing at the ball park has
thrown the players into closer con-
tact than when the visiting club
got into its uniforms at the hotel
and rode to and from the ball park
in an open bus.
Those were the colorful days. On
the way out the players bantered re-
marks with those they passed on
the street. On the way back, they
often lodged various missiles thrown
by the irate fans.

Taxes Fleece American
Farmers of One-third
of Net Yearly Income

The American farmer is mulcted, in
taxes, of one-third of his net income.
Sensational figures are disclosed in
the report of study made by the Ma
tional Industrial Conference Board,
PAT Park Avenue, New York, showing
the acute crisis which American agri-
culture has passed through in recent
years, and the heavy burden of taxa
ton which it still carries.
In 1920-21, the report states, taxes
collected from the farms amounted to
nearly six times the total net profits
from all farms. In 1922, there was
considerable Improvement" when
"only 77.7qo" of the net profits of the
farms was swallowed up in the NAV
of taxation.
For the last three years, the study
shows, farm taxation has lowered at
about the same level, about 1890 of
the net income, this figure being near
ly three times as high as taxation fig
ures frr the last three years before
the war.

Einstein Theory Under
Motion Picture Tests

CHICAGO, June 13.-Prof. Albert
A. Nicholson, world-famous physicist
of the University of Chicago, will use
motion pictures in his new expert
ments to test the Einstein theory of
relatively, it was disclosed today.
Beams Of light as they, race back
and forth from the mirrors he is US
ing in his test will be photographed
by motion picture camera lens, set
for high speed. The purpose is to
discover whether the light travels in
the direction Of the solar system with
the same speed at which it travels at
right angles to that direction.
If the light is not shown to travel
at the same speed, it will be impos-
sible to substantiate the Einstein
theory, Prof. Nicholson said.

have taken no sides in the matter,

N. Y. WORKERS IN
.VOIKOFF PROTEST
MEETING TONIGHT
Will Warn of Menace of
New World War

A memorial meeting for Peter
Voikoff, the ambassador of the Union
of Socialist Soviet Republics to
Poland, who was murdered last week
in that country by a monarchist, will
be held tonight at New Star Casino,
107th st. and Park Ave.
While the workers at tonight's
meeting will mourn the loss Of that
staunch fighter for the working class,
they will also hear Of the latest at
tempts of world Imperialism to fight
against the first workers republic.
1t is now self-evident that the as
sassination of Peter Voikoff, the
Soviet ambassador to Poland, was not
mere accident but part of a we'll
laid-out plot carried on by enemies Of
the workers and peasants govern
ment of Soviet Russia.
The throwing of the bomb into the
crowded Communist meeting in Mos
COW, the murder Of the Soviet off
cial who was taking a spy to the Rus
sian boundary line, the attempted as
sassination of Bukharin coming as
they did after the raid by the Bril-
fish government on ARGOS and the
breaking off of relations by British
imperialism with Soviet Russia, shows
that the Voikoff matter is not merely
one Of assassination, but one that
shows the danger of a world war and
the necessity of defense of the work.

Arrest Daudet After
Workers Protest; Cops
Get Communist Leader

PARIS. June 13.-Widespread pro
test on the part Of Paris workers
has at last led to the arrest Of Leon
Daudet, Royalist leader.
Although NJ. Semard, Secretary
General of the French Communist
Party, had been unceremoniously
dragged away to Jail few days ago,
French police failed to arrest the Roy
alist leader. The excuse given by the
police was that Daudet had been pro-
tected by number Of the young fol-
lowers.
Partisan workers who had witnessed
the police in action at Communist
demonstrations rather doubted the in
ability of the police to cope with a
handful Of raw, if enthusiastic young
Royalists. They demanded the i'm
mediate arrest Of Daudet.
Protest Semard Arrest
The protest of Partisan workers
had its effect. At 1880 this morning
Police Prefect Chiappe, accompanied
by an army of policemen and firemen,
surrounded the offices Of L'Aetion
Franchise, Royalist sheet.
Said the Project to the handful Of
Royalists, an the name Of the blood
that you mourn" (Daudet's son COM
mitted suicide recently "will you al
low more French blood to be spilled"
Daudet surrounded by his few
score psychopathic followers) ans
wered generously, "No, do not wish
to start a civil war" Shouting Long
live France he walked out Of the
building with dignity and accompan-
led the army of policemen and fire
men to the police station.
Scored French Imperialism
In the meantime Paris workers are
demanding the immediate release OF
NJ. Semard, who has been sent to jail
for eight months for opposing French
imperialism in Morocco.

of the Wall Newspaper, "The Fur

group of worker-writer correspon-
dents, the meetings of which have a
regular attendance Of from so to 40
members.
There is no unemployment here in
sofar as qualified workers are con-
cerned. Every capable worker is on
the job. The unemployment that
exists is to be found only among the
unqualified" workers, or unskilled
labor. That the qualifications of the
workers in the plant will be lifted to
high standards is shown by the inten-
sive training given the young work
ers entering the plant. One hundred
students are now attending the school
that gives four hours theoretical and
four hours technical training. Every

School For Workers.
1t was in the machine shop, run as
an adjunct to the school, that one Of
the instructors came up and shook
hands, greeting me with the question,
"How are the comrades getting along
in Chicago?"
The questioner was Louis Colo who
left Chicago, August 81, 1923, with
the workers bound for Kuzbas. Com
rade Colo spent two years in Kuzbas.
Two more years he has been here in
the Amo plant. He is an enthusiast
in the development of Soviet industry.
"Ill come back to the United
States when the profit system there
has been abolished, not before" he de-
clared.
Then he showed me thru the school
rooms. Here was a class studying
algebra under the direction of a
teacher from the Technical University
of Moscow. Another class was de-
voting itself to the study of physics.
Another was battling with the gram
mar of the Russian language. So the
youth were being prepared to do their
share, as they grow older, in the
building of the new social order. Out
of the white heat of the revolution
the Amo plant came to life, built by
revolutionists who quickly dropped
their rifles for the tools of industry.
1t is the youth who will perfect the
industry and make it serve the masses
under the new social system-Com-
munism.

Employment sharks whose nests of

The DAILY WORKER in the case Of
Carl Schwartz, who bought for the
fee Of $500 a job welding pick
and shovel on the Pennsylvania rail-
road at Logans, N. J.
Two Dollars For 4 Job"
He bought his Job" from the en-
ployment concern of Rosen & Costello,
on the Bowery, near First street,
whose misleading sign about the Job
brought him into their clutches. After
arriving at Logan on June End, he
worked until the 10th (pay day. and
was informed that he would get no
pay that day because he had not
worked long enough.
He was then told he would have to
wait until the 25th to get paid and
that then he would only get paid until
the 15th-the company holding back
ten days pay. The pay was at the
rate Of 40 cents an hour for nine
hour day-making a total Of but
$3.50 per day. He was told he could
get good board for S1.O5 per day and
the food served was such swill that
none Of the men who had money
would eat it, although they had to pay
for it just the same. Ali of them
spent from S1.00 to $3.50 in order TO
get decent food in town near where
they slept in railroad cars not fit for
cattle.
Cheated Out of Wages.
Schwartz got sick and could not
work on Saturday so he was told to
go to Trenton on pass to get paid.
The Trenton boss told him he would
give him a pass back to New York
and he would have to see the employ
ment sharks, Rosen & Costello. On
calling on them he was informed that
they could do nothing for him.
The result is that he was left
stranded in New York, the employ
ment fakirs had his two dollars and
the Pennsylvania railroad had cheated
him out of eight days labor.
An investigation by congress should
be ordered to probe this practice Of
interstate commerce in human labor
power and the organized frauds per-
petrated by the employment agen-
cies.
