When Croatians pulled down three
national flags from cathedral,
where an attempt was being made
at celebration, and replaced them
by black flags, expressive of pro-

Serbian students and police attacked
them. An open conflict resulted, in
which firearms and clubs were used
freely. Two are reported to have

HOAxED BY TORY

EDMONTON, Alberta, Dec. 2
Charges have been made by unem-
ployed English workers, sent to
Canada for harvest work by the
British government as an easy way
Of disposing Of them, that the Can
adian government, acting in CON
junction with British officials, tried
to make the jobless workers act as
scabs in a strike Of coal miners at
Wayne, Alberta. The miners at
Wayne struck as a result Of the op-
orators attempt to force them to
accept wages on a screen basis (no
ray for coal lost after mining).
According to the promises of the
british officials, jobs in the harvest
ing would be plentiful. Upon the
unemployed workers arrival here,
they found that very few jobs actu-
ally existed and that those that did
were either at slave wages or jobs
in which the unemployed would be
forced to act as scabs against Can
adam workers. Thousands Of the
hoaXed workers were on the verge
of starvation as a result of being
stranded in a penniless condition
thousands Of miles from their
homes.

pensive than in the little French
fishing villages. Without savings,
the married worker stays on at
Michelin's, and ages. Without saw
ings, the married worker stays on
at Michelin's, and as the years go
by the premiums accumulate until
there is $1,000. But it is not his
until three years after he quits or
is fired. And if he violates his part
of the contract, the whole sum is
confiscated.
Only when his daughter grows up
can the pinched French worker hope
to move out of the shack district
to better house, where rent ranges
from $25 up. His girl starts in at
rs cents an hour or 50 a day. Her
$40 a week looks big to her father,
whose maximum wage, on a 5-day
basis, can be only S18 a week, plus
a small bonus.
Efficiency Is known to Mlchelln S
workers as speed-up. In every de-
partment there are wall charts, with
each workers name on it and room
for daily scores. Three points for
small tire, more points for larger
ones. The speediest workers get
weekly bonuses ranging from 81 to
IS. Those in the middle keep their
jobs. Those at the bottom are sent
to less desirable jobs or are fired.

Davis Boasts Doubling
of Arrests of Foreign
Born During the Year

3 WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-T h e
Department of Labor has just is
sued report boasting that its
border patrol has during the fiscal
MAR just ended arrested twice as
a any aliens in the United States as
Y former years. The total number
this year is 25,534. The widespread
strike movements during the last
~ months, in the mine fields and
textile mills especially, have given
the government opportunities to do
ke-breaking work by persecution
of militant strikers who happen to
be foreign-born.
Secretary of Labor Davis says in
his report that 23,S96 aliens were
turned over to the immigration SER
vice for deportation. The Labor
Department border patrol began
July 1, 1924, with an appropriation
of $1,0OO,000 and a personnel Of
472, it now has TAT members, and
last year operated on an appropria-
ton Of $1,6O0,O00. Transportation
equipment consisted of 267 auto
mobiles and IS trucks, Is saddle
horses and seven packhorses.

Graft Disclosures in
Chicago Force 800 Cops
to Enter Fresh Fields

CHICAGO, Dec. Recent grand
jury Investigations, forced by wide
spread gang wars, election murders
and kidnappings, have so discredited
the police department that Police
Commissioner William F. Russell to-
day resorted to the usual "shake-up."
Grafters from one district will be
removed to another, where they are
not so well known, and the mantle
of responsibility will thus be drawn
again over the somewhat expo d
rottenness of the department.
Three hundred officers and men
are transferred. This includes six
captains, 10 Lieutenants, 32
sergeants, and six detectives.

strike tactics be made more militant
in order to assure victory. After
gaining a majority on the strike
committee, the membership saw
their officialdom adopt the A. F. of
L. bureaucratic tactic of "dissolu-
ton" of that committee. Their con-
tinual demands for membership
meeting Of their department was
met with refusals. When the pres
sure from the membership became
too strong the officials called q
membership meeting, but of al!
branches of the union. At this
meeting they railroaded thru en-
dorsement of their strikebreaking
expulsion tactics and enthroned a
reactionary clique of their own
choice as new "strike committee"
The calling of the broad silk meet
ing was then undertaken.
Tried To Stop Meeting.
Fred Hoelscher, chief of the bur-
eaucrats, and his henchmen tried
their utmost to break up and harm
the attendance at the meeting. They
Numbered of its ''illegality." Hoel-
scher tried to have the hall owner
cancel the contract and right wing
ers were sent to the meeting. All
this was of no avail. The meeting,
highly enthusiastic, accomplished it's
aim with inspiring dispatch and eff
ficiency.
Albert Weisbord, national secre-
tary of the National Textile Work
ers' Union, came to pledge his or
CARNATIONS aid and support in the
silk workers strike, and was ac-
corded tremendous ovation, which
was equalled only by the outburst
of sustained cheering when the mo-
ton to affiliate was carried. Fred
Biedenkapp, head of the Workers
international Relief, also was
cheered when he told the workers
that his organization was willing to
step in and provide relief foc those
carrying on the fight.
Correct Tactics.
In reporting for the Strike Com
mittee, Gertrude Mueller showed
how the policies of the left wing
were fought by the officialdom, and
that if the strike were to be won
these policies only were to do it.
She concluded by pointing out that
it was the officials who had adopted
the splitting tactic by their expul-
sions, and that their joining with q
national organization was the only
recourse left in improving condi-
tons in the shops and winning the
strike.
Lena Chernenko, Strike Commit
tee organizer, took the floor after
fifteen more workers were added tc
the Strike Committee from the
workers present. She spoke of the
necessity for a drive to improve
conditions in the shops. The new
Strike Committee will take up these
problems at a meeting tomorrow

MILLTOWN, N. j., (FPl.-Near-
ly 1000 workers are held in the
grip of Michelin Rubber Co. in its
company town at Midtown, through
a labor contract that binds employees
to their jobs. Proof that the con-
tract is successful in it's purpose
lies in the fact that a majority of
Michelin's tire workers have been
on the job for more than five years,
although their pay is probably the
lowest for similar work anywhere
in the United States. The highest
wage in Midtown is 45 cents an
hour.
Michelin's contract, signed by
every worker before he gets job,
provides for a weekly premium
ranging from 81 to 50. This sum is
set aside in a special fund which
the employee may not touch 1t
grows slowly. At the end of five
years it may total $500.
A Chained Gift.
But the worker has no claim to
the accumulated premium when he
quits or is discharged. Instead, he
must wait three years to obtain the
money he has earned. If he is job
less, he may draw 1-36th Of the total
premium each month.
The company assumes that the
premium can be changed any time
without consulting the worker Vital
changes are made in conditions and
premiums and the worker is told to
sign on the dotted line. The COM
pany also assumes that the money
belongs to Michelin, and not to the
worker. In this way it is "gift"
to which the worker has no legal
claim. In the q years of Michelin's
functioning in the United States,
the contract has never been tested
in the courts.
Other features of the contract
bind the employees never to make
public it's contents, to keep silent
about secret processes in the plant,
to refuse to discuss publicly any
thing that happens within factory
walls.
Michelin imports French peasants
and fishermen from Brittany to
work in its American plant. While
the firm denies that it contracts
with workers in France to import
them to America in defiance of the
contract labor law, it's agents spread
tales of high wages and good condi-
tons along the Breton coast. AS a
result, when the peasant packs up
his satchel, he knows he is going to
Midtown, N. j., where there is al
ways job open to him at double
the wages he made at home.
Arriving in Midtown, he and his
family are herded into shacks which
rival the shabby mill towns of south
