ExPEL WORKERS
IN RUHR UNIONS
Metal Lockout Spreads
to Kiel

BERLIN, Nov. 29.-Bureaucrats
in the unions involved in the Ruhr
metal lockout have begun disciplin-
airy proceedings to expel many metal
workers who oppose them and de-
mand militant policy.
Following the decision of the ar
bitration court against the indus
trialists the metal unions demanded
the re-opening of the factories. The
union officials declare that the en-
ployers must be made responsible for
all the damages incurred during the
lockout. A conference of the Chris
tian Metal Workers Union demands
that the government force the en-
ployers to reopen the factories.
A social-democratic representative
Of the Prussian government, Berg
mann, is now mediating between the
parties concerned in the lockout. A
small commission, including three
representatives of each side, Is hold
ing secret sessions.
In the meanwhile, the employers
are extending the lockout. Several
thousand workers in fourteen Kiel
factories have been given notice that
the plants will skut down shortly.

COOLIDGE COLD
TO FARM RELIEF
Election Is Over Now;
Why Extra Session

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-There
may not be any extra session for
farm relief debate after all, presi-
dent Coolidge told inquirers today.
From the best information obtained,
it seems that Washington has no
farm relief problem, whatever the
agricultural districts farther west
may have thought when they voted
for Hoover. If republican spell
binders became too enthusiastic and
promised farm relief legislation to
the farmers, well, that was before
the election. And the president says
he will not intervene in the discuc-
sion as to whether there shall be any
extra session.
The farmers who realized that a
capitalist government neither can
nor will solve the farm problem may
have chance to say; 81 told you
so" at present, instead of wai5ing
until volumes of ink and days of
oratory are spent over some fake
McNary-Haugen bill.

Rejuyenated Horse
Dies of Pneumonia

PARIS, Nov: 80. = The 27-year-
old stallion, Rabelais, which had
been subjected to a regeneration
gland operation by DR.. Serge Voro-
noff, died today but the death did
not mean the end of the gland
theory.
Rabelais died of pneumonia,
Voronoff said, and his death in no
way destroyed the theory that aged
stations may be given new strength
by gland operations, which have been
successful on smaller animals.
The stallion was not given enough
anesthetic when the operation was
performed, and he awoke too quickly
after the operation had been sue
cessfully performed. He began
kicking, raisedsa sweat and caught
pneumonia, attendants said. Pneu-
monia usually is fatal to an old
stallion.

DEATH TO DRIVER
Patched Up, Taxi Man
Must Slave Again

Working day and night on his
taxicab to meet the notes on his cab
and also support his family has
nearly proven fatal for S. Grafo,
taxi driver. Tired after hard days
grind behind the wheel, Grafo pulled
his cab to a side, at 46th st. and 9th
Ave, and climbed into the passen-
ger compartment of the cab and
went to sleep.
Grafo had forgotten to shut off
the motor and the carbon monoxide
fumes entered the cab and was be-
ginning to work on the sleeping hack
man, when cop, who through force
of habit looked into the cab, shook
the driver out of his slumher. He
invited the tired hackie to get on
his way.
C1,@fo got out and started driving
away. Put he did not get very far
when his cab crashed head on into
an elevator pillar.
A passing taxi driver helped the
cop extract Grafo from the wreck
age and rushed him to Polytechnic
Hospital. Only after patching up
Grafo's bruises was it discovered
that Grafo was suffering from the
deadly carbon monoxide fumes.
After staying at the hospital few
days, getting a much needed rest,
Grafo was sent home. His cab has
been patched up and Grafo is back
at the wheel paying notes again.

1t wasn't enough to rob the poor
workers out of their hard-earned
money through the fake community
drive, which was conducted here re-
Gently. Now the P. and H. Welfare
Company is defrauding the workers
in this manner.
The Harnischfeger Corporation
had 10000 theatre tickets printed,
and, to start with, 10 tickets were
forced upon each worker. The one
selling the most was promised a
prize. Each worker was compelled
to sell at least 10 of these tickets.
Now here is where the shameful
fraud comes in. The tickets sell for
Is cents each. On the reverse side
of them is printed the list of the
45 theatres in which they can be
used. Most of the theatres charge
an admission OF ten cents and a
few charge Is cents. Thus the
worker is forced to defraud his best
friends. The ones who suffer most
from this scheme are the poor chill
dren of the workers who are the
victims of the fraud.

a poor worker who tried this racket
on his own hook. N. P.

Walker Whiteside Returns
to Broadway IN Dumas

WALTER WHITESIDE is now ap-
F." pearing in the leading role in
a delightful comedy called "The
Royal Box" which is sending audi
ences home in good humor from the
Belmont Theatre. The play is
adapted from Alexandra Dumas
play, "Kean," and is based on the
life of Edmund Kean, the great
English actor who thrilled Great
Britain with his Shakespearian roles
more than one hundred years ago.
The play, which deals with the
love affairs of Kean, is refreshing
and will be greatly enjoyed by all
who are interested in London life
in the year 1908.
At times Whiteside overplays his
role, becoming dramatic to an ex-
IRENE. Judged as whole, he gives
a very fine performance which ia
vorably compares with any on
Broadway today. The supporting
cast is likewise admirable, eSpe-
cially Hugh Bentley as the Prince
of Wales. In many ways he is the
most realistic of the entire cast,
which includes some unusually good
actors end actresses. The Swedish
Ambassador is played by Manart
hippen; his wife by Lulu Mae Hub
bard, and the leading lady by Franc
Hale. Elwyn Eaton is superb in a
small role.
In addition to playing the lead
ing role, Mr.. Whiteside has staged
and directed the play. He is to be
congratulated on reviving this anus
ing comedy which was last played
in the United States 80 years ago
with its author, Charles Coghlan,
portraying Clarence. S. P.

Senate DIVIDES
ON BOULDER DAM
Johnson for Realtors,
Hayden for Power Co.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 2o.-Sen-
ators for and against the construc-
ton of the Boulder Dam are jockey
ing for initial position in the fight
over the measure which will develop
in the coming session of congress.
Boulder Dam is provided for by the
Swing Johnson bill" and will divert
water from the Colorado River, at
a point in Arizona, to irrigate the
real estate spectators paradise in
Southern California, and raise the
value of land they have bought
there. Other capitalist interests in
Arizona, particularly the electric
power and light companies, are
fighting the project for their own
reasons.
The engineering estimates and
plans are undergoing a revision, to
cut the cost of the dam about S40,-
100000 and make some technical
changes in construction.

Senator johnson, co-autnor Of the
measure and leader of it's pro-
ponents, said he was prepared to
amend his bill along lines suggested
by the commission. He minimized
the Importance of these changes and
said he did not believe a substitute
bill be necessary.

helped with the filibuster against
the Boulder Dam Bill, at the last
session, said he understood the re-

CLEVELAND, Ohio (By MaiD.-
Hundreds of copies of the Young
Worker. distributed before the
Thompson Steel Products Company
n Cleveland, Ohio, were received
with much demonstration on the
part of the young workers entering
the factory in the early dawn. The
shop nucleus of the League in the
Thompson Steel Products Company
has succeeded in issuing two issues
of the Young Steel Worker, which
has won the confidence of the young
workers because it clearly depicted
the miserable conditions. Appreci-
ating the fact that there is some
one in the factory not afraid to
raise a voice in defense of their in
terests the exploited young workers
eagerly await the copies of the bull
letins and leaflets issued by the
League. When the Young Worker
vas distributed it was hailed every
where. Tens of young workers came
down from the factory to get copies
Of the Young Worker and spread it
among those who had missed get
ting one. Hundreds of them lined
up to get their copy as they marched
into the factory.
Ruthless Exploitation.
Although the increase of youth
labor in the steel industry is not as
great as it is in most industries and
particularly in the specifically
youth industries, such as radio and
electricity, yet we find in the
Thompson Steel Products Company,
which employs around 1000 work
ers, more than fifty per cent young
workers. These young workers are
subject to the most ruthless ex-
ploitation. Long hours, low wages,
tremendous speed-up, miserable con-
ditions, prevail in the factory.
While the profits of the company
increase yearly, reaching $914,490
ret profit IN 1927, the conditions of
the young workers are steadily be-
coming worse. The young workers
played against the adult workers,
are hired at half the wages of the
adult workers, the girls averaging
only about 30 cents an hour. These
young workers are hired in prefer
ence to the adult workers, thus net
ting more profits for their exploit
ers.
The young workers supposed to
work only nine hours a day are COM
PEELED to work ten, eleven, twelve
end thirteen hours a day during the
rush period and then suffer lay
offs when slack comes around.
Every form of speed-up is used to
rush the workers. All forms of OPP
preston are resorted to-and the
life of the young workers in Thomp-
son Steel Products Company is a
miserable one.
1t is no wonder that the young
WofkerS respond TO the Shop pull
letins distributed in the factory and
hailed the Young Worker-the only
fighting, militant paper of the
working class youth. The young
workers now look towards the
Young Workers Communist League
to defend their interests. The
young workers in the Thompson
Steel Products Company now look
to the Young Worker to represent
their interests.
We must throw all our forces to
build the Young Worker during the
present campaign, so that these and
other young workers will have an
organ to protect their interests.
