thrusting himself forward or letting
others push him to the front of the
scene. Hoover's friends recall that
even when King Albert offered him
practically any title in the gift of the
kingdom for his work in Belgian re-
lief. he only scowled and chewed on his
cigar, a common sign that he is en-
barrassed, and answered almost gruff1y:
Il don't want any title. sir Don't call
me anything but friend of the Belgian
people"
So King Albert had engraved a spe-
cial medal for Herbert Hoover, friend
of the Belgian people"

Forced to the wall by the rising

the bosses of the Council, sought to
engage in fake peace negotiations
with the leaders of the left wing

Ben Gold, manager of the Joint
Board, announced yesterday that he
would make public the dealings
with the labor takers at the me
gotiations" which he recognized i'm
mediately to be a bid for breath
ing spell for the Joint Council.
Other questions to be reported on
are the burning issue of July wage
raises for the fur workers.
This question is now the major
campaign of the Joint Board. Not
only has the Joint Board secured
raises for the workers in their own
shops but the campaign has so
aroused the furriers that raises are
being forced thru in shops not rec
ognizing the Joint Board.
Order Attacks.
This despite the active opposition
to wage raises put up by the Joint
Council, who have gone to the ex-
tent of ordering the police indus
trial squad to beat up and arrest
their own members when they strike
for higher pay.
Inside the right wing Joint Coun-
Gil is a group of organized opposi-
ton to the gang in control. They
are now broadening the fight for
one union in the trade and have
split so far from the crew in con-
troll as to issue leaflets denouncing
them as betrayers and at the same
time enumerating in detail the var
ious sell-outs of the Stetsky-Mc-
Grady clique.

CONCERT TO Be
DEMONSTRATION
Workers Will Honor
Soviet Union

The great DAILY WORKER con-
cert Saturday at Coney Island Sta
dunn will be demonstration of the
militant workers of New York in
honor of the Soviet Union, the coun-
try which gave Prof. Leon Theremin
the opportunity to discover and per-
feet his marvellous ether-music.
Prof. Theremin is citizen of the
Soviet Union and will appear at this
unusual proletarian musical festival
as the representative of the first
workers and peasants republic. 1t
is considered no accident that this
astounding discovery should have
been made in the Soviet Union. Only
there have all workers, including
scientists and artists, the oppor-
tunity to work without fear of op-
preston and under conditions which
make for the best possible results.
Prof. Theremin will appear on Sat-
urday night in program which will
afford the vast throng of $4,000
workers that is expected ample OPP
portunity to observe all the beauties
of this new ether-music and its in
finite possibilities.
Much has already been said con.
corning the excellence of the Arnold
Volpe Symphony Orchestra and the
Roxy Ballet. They will be found
to be worthy co.artists of Prof.
Theremin.

from the lowest functionary to the

WOMAN WORKERS
NOT PROTECTED
Many Forced to Work
70 Hours a Week
By LELAND OLDS
Federated Press.

Less than two-thirds of the women
wage earners in Illinois are protect
ed by any law which limits their
hours of work, according to a survey
by the state department of labor.
Out of the 540,938 gainfully en-
ployed women and girls in the state
197,499 are not covered either by
the 10-hour law or by the child labor
law. Most of them are at the mercy
of their employers.
The greatest number of women
and girls without protection are in
domestic and personal service. The
department estimates the number
without protection in this group at
95,337 or 1870 of the total number
in these occupations. 1t also finds
64,024 or 1850 of those in pro-
fessional service and 1891 or
1859 of those in manufacture I'M
protected by the laws limiting hours
of work
Work 20 Hours a Week.
The present law, in force since
1911, provides "that no female shall
be employed in any mechanical or
mercantile establishment, or fac
tory, or laundry, or hotel, or res
taurant, or telegraph or telephone
establishment, or in any place of
amusement, or by any person, firm
or corporation engaged in any ex-
press or transportation or public
utility business, or by any common
carrier, or in any public institution
incorporated in this state, more than
10 hours during any one day."
Of the female workers protected
in hours, 332,359 are over 16 years
and come under the 10-hour law
while 1000 are under 16 and are
covered by the child labor law. The
department points out that there is
nothing in the 10-hour law to pre-
vent employers working their wom-
en- employees up to 70 hours a week
The department cites figures
gathered by the U. S. women's bur
eau covering 46,070 women employ
ed in factories, stores and laundries
to show that 5.4eS work 10 hours a
day while $500 work more than 8
hours day.
A study of wage rates given on
accident reports involving 1,934 &C
cidents to women and girls in 1925
shows that girls 16 years of age
average $40 to $14 a week while
women from IT to Ga average $15
to $40 a week. The average wage
of these women throughout their
lives corresponds to the wage paid
boys of II. The average wage for
men does not become stationary
until they reach 25 years after
which their range is from $50 to S34

committee points out that "only by
organized efforts will this work be
carried through to a successful end"
Speakers From Mines
A highly interesting program is
being arranged, including speakers
direct from the mine-war front. The
coming two days before
the launching of the nationwide
Miners Relief and Defense Week,

defense work in Harlem. Most of
this week will be devoted toward
making a success of the sale of
tickets for the Miners Solidarity
Fair Of August 5, to be conducted
by the National Miners Relief Com
mittee at Pleasant Bay Park, and to
include program which for variety
will exceed any other held in New

NICARAGUA WAR
COSTS MILLIONS
Comm g Elections to
Require More

WASHINGTON, July 18.-With
302 commissioned officers and 5,318
enlisted men of the marine corps
now on duty in Nicaragua, the
forthcoming presidential elections
will require additional funds from
the United States treasury to main
tain the hold of American imper-
ialism on the colony" it was
learned here today.
The base cost-pay and subsis-
tence of the enlisted men-would
run something over $4,000 a day.
General expenses on top of this
would add many thousand dollars
more to the daily outlay.

STRUGGLE CROWS
Authorities Fire On
Strikers

CALCUTTA, India, July 18.-A
wave of unrest threatens to engulf
all leading industries of India
The strength of the recently or
ganized unions is increasing and
their growth appears to be on. a
permanent basis.
Strikes and lockouts have affected
virtually every important industry
in the country, and for nearly four
months there has been series of
disturbances with which employers,
police, civil and military authorities
have found it difficult to deal.
Jamshedpur now is the seat of
the movement. The Tata Iron and
Steel Company's works there-lov-
ingly fostered by the legislature be-
cause it is the only Indian indus
trial concern of any magnitude, al
though it is largely managed by Eu-
ropeans-has been convulsed by
strikes which have become a lock-
out.
The East Indian railway shops at
Lillooah, Calcutta, are idle; the
Bombay cotton industry is para
lyzed, and the jute industry here
has ceased functioning, due to the
strike of 10000 workers.
The wave of unrest eliminated in
an open struggle at Bamangachi.
Ghurka troops fired on the strikers
by order of Captain Christie. A
bombay jury completely approved
the action of the city superintendent
of police in firing on strikers under
almost identical circumstances.

Active Members Meet
Tomorrow Night

Over eight hundred cloak and

to capacity yesterday afternoon at
an open forum called by the Joint
Board of the Claok and Dressmak-
ers Union, demonstrated their con-
tempt for the latest fictitious organ
ization campaign now being her
aided by the right wing organ, The
Jewish Daily Forward.
The discussion revolved about the
new maneuver of the bankrupt Sig
man-Schlesinger machine to extract
dues payments from the workers in
these shops that recognize the scab
union of the right wing, and in
forcing more dismissals of left wing
workers from those factories.
Free Discussions
Discussions at these open forums
are conducted with the greatest free
dom and are participated in by the
majority of the rank and file. The
slogan raised by the leaders of the
Joint Board, who opened the discus
sion, was, throw out of the shops
any gangster agents of the Sigman
clique" who appear.
The meeting elected committee
to go to the office of the Jewish
Day to tell its impartial" editors
that they are excellent allies of Sig
man. "The Day." now masquerad-
ing in cloak of ''impartiality" for
circulation purposes, recently pub
lished an account of the fake Sigman
