NEW YORK, May 10.-A seaman
coming from Australia is sure doomed
for shock especially if he intends
to follow his vocation. Leaving a
country where his craft is organized
one hundred per cent, he arrives in
a country where unionism, among
seamen at least, is farce.
AS l have just arrived in New York
from Australia, and having ex-
perienced the above shock, feel it
incumbent on myself to use my voice
and pen to point out to my craft, and
incidentally, my class, the dire need
for organization.
Wages Lower Here.
I will give a brief outline Of wages
and conditions, also the method Of
organization in Australia; then we
will analyzc conditions here. / feel
positive that my working class
readers viii agree with me that
working conditions are of vastly more
importance than are wages; however,
the seaman's wage in Australia is
much higher than here, as indicated
by the following comparison;

New York Bankers
Loan $5,OOO,OOO
TO Soviet Union

Credit amounting to S5,000,000 will
be granted by London and New York
bankers to finance shipments Of
American machinery to the Soviet
Union, it was announced yesterday by
the Fox Brothers International Cor
poration. The credit is the first Of
its kind known to have been advanced
to the Soviet Union to aid American
trade with the u S. s. R.
American exporters win be paid in
cash for goods exported to the Soviet
Union This arrangement is satisfac-
tory to American manufacturers and
satisfies the need Of the u. S. s. r.
for long term credits.
Bigger Credit for 1928.
"While Russia received credit Of
S100, 100000 from Germany last year,
it was found that the cost Of this
credit to Russian importers was
reaching as high as 30 per cent" said
s. Grossbard, vice. president Of Fox
Brothers international Corporation.
Officials of the Fox Brothers said
that if the plan met with a satisfac-
tory response, a $10,000,000 credit
would be arranged in 1928.

WORKERS! STOP THE MURDER
OF SACCO AND VANZETTI
The daily worker., 1927-05-11

THE governor Of Massachusetts
L should be given distinctly to un-
derstand that the masses of workers,
farmers and progressives in the
United States and thruout the world
will consider a Communication of the
death sentence to life Imprisonment
as an insult added to the injury that
has already been inflicted on our two
comrades. They must be freed. They
are innocent Of the crime with which
they are charged. And when the
prison doors close behind them, and
they are on the right side Of those
doors, the perpetrators of this no.
torious frame-up should be put on
the carpet. And the People of Mas
sachusetts should see that the most
notorious Of those conspirators, Judge
Thayer, should never again sit on a
judicial bench.

THE hour set for the execution Of

ing. AS the waves Of feeling pro and

more evident that the opposing sides
care less about the technicalities Of
the case than about the social ideals
put forward by Sacco and Vanzetti
and opposed by their prosecutors.
And if the governor Of the state Of
Massachusetts decides to pardon the
victims Of capitalist injustice it will
rot be because his eyes have been

It is not surprising that the forces

THE change in its Chinese policy
i announced by the British govern
ment is akin to the reformation Of
played-out roue. Britain failed to
induce the United States and Japan
to conduct an officially aggressive
campaign against the Chinese people,

ity of one American to lick several
hundred Chinese. The general did
not make an estimate Of how many
marine officers it would take to beat
one Philadelphian. (For the benefit
Of the uninitiated General Butler
went into the Quaker City with the
object Of cleaning it up. Well, to put
it mildly, the general beat a hasty
and rather undignified retreat and
Philly is still the same old Philly, /

Of force in China is demonstrated by

No Women Gourmets

The discussion in Paris us To what Is

of one well-known writer that no
woman ever was one. In defining a
gourmet, he says. "A gourmet Is not

Of eating and drinking No, he IS too
particular for that, Gourmets ARE
rarely or never 'gormundlsers'-they
are too particular about those two

CHANGE IN ROUTE
TO MAIDEN'S HEART
Writer Points to Rise of
"Ne,U Sex Democracy"

The judgment Of time has been that
II is an exceedingly difficult problem
for men and women to understand
each other The male has ON innu-
merahle occasions acknowledged his
inability to fathom the workings OF
The female mind, and this doubtful
compliment has in many instances
been returned No longer, 1t is said,
is THIS sentiment mutual The mod
eru girl understands men.
THIS disclosure comes from the pen
Of MIS-, j. Borden Hartman, who in
a magazine article considers the
changes that have transformed the
romantic period into the iiapper age.
Chief among these causes, she says, IS
that men are no longer able to fool
girls, The day of hattery, she be-
lieves has passed, and dashlng cava-
Hers tail, dark and handsome" no
longer Gu the heroic role In Il yourg
maids fancy.
Instead, the writer finds new sex
democracy which has brought an era
OF comradeship in which young people
take each other as they are and not
as they believe they are and girls no
longer fall in love with the image only
to come eventually to the day of great
dislilusionment.
\ girl now has some hand in the
choice of her husband, if she does not
determine upon the man and then
proceed to make him hers.
There win be men who will not
agree readily with the author Many
there are who viii be loath to abandon

lovers dates TOO far back to be lightly
dismissed when spring IS in the air,
the moon is full and two young hearts

demonsrative, but 1t does not tell the
whole story.
Nor will all men ana women agree
that the day has but Just arrived when
the maid refuses to sit idly by as the

petuous, but there were ways in other
days, and who knows but they were
more effective The way of a man

the way of a maid with man from

SKIN DISEASES CAN BE CURED
BY PROPER DIET. DOCTORS TOLD

Those who strive vainly for perfect
compilations should take courage. A
patient with eczema for 81 years at
last acquired healthy skin by OBJ
serving proper diet DIR. Francis Low
ell Burnett Of Boston told the skin
disease section of the American Medi-
cal Association, which met at the
Washington Hotel Wednesday after
noon.
Another patient was cured, he said,
who had suffered for 81 years from
psoriasis, a somewhat similar skin
disease. Both these maladies, DIR.
Burnett said in presenting a study
on the nutrition and health of the
skin, are caused by imperfect assimi-
lafion of foods and the only cure for
them is the control of health.
The commonest error is eating too
much and too fast, he said. Excess
of sweets. fat, rich foods or fruits,
eating between meals, loss of sleep
and insufficient exercise are other er-
rors which influence the assimilation
Of nutrient elements Of food. A de-
ficiency in the process causes the
structure Of the skin to break down.
Cures can be accomplished and re-
currences prevented, he said. only by
