URGE CAMPS FOR
WORKER CHILDREN
international Relief Is
sues Call

The Workers International Relief
issued a call today for aid in it's drive
to establish a children's camp for
workers children. 1t urged every or
ganization in the city to elect dele
gates to represent them at the COM
ing W. l. R. Children's Camp Con-
ference, which will be held at Irving
Plaza Hall, 18th st. and Irving Pl.,
on Wednesday, May %, at 8 p. m.
All matters pertaining to the build
ing up Of workingclass children's
camp will be discussed and acted
upon at this meeting.
The call reads in part: Workers
children who live under poor and I'M
healthy conditions must have chance
to breathe fresh mountain air for at
least few weeks. The average camp
with its high rate offers no such op-
portunity. Workers children must
therefore remain in the hot and
sweltering city, unless we help.
"Most children's camps (Boy and
Girl Scouts, Settlement Camps, Char
ity camps, etc. instill into the minds
of the children ideas hostile to or
ganized labor. 1t is exactly this that
the Workers International Relief
children's camp is counteracting. The
Young Pioneer Camps, that have done
such excellent work in the past, are
now affiliated with the W.LR. and
preparations are under way for
much larger camp than ever before.
"a real up-to-date camp, where
hundreds of children will be accomo-
dated at cost and where proper food,
physical care, as we'll as mental exer-
else with kick to it that will make
them better fighters for labor's cause

Is Trusts Control
500 of u. S. Power

During 1927 control of the power
industry was concentrated through
1928 utility changes. Eighty per cent
of the national production is now in
the hands of fifteen, holding and op-
Grating groups. This amounts to 60
billion kilowatt hours out of 75.1 bill
lion produced in 1927.
The first five companies control
half of the whole production. These
include the Electric Bond and Share
insult, Northeastern, North American
and Byllesby interests. The desire to
defeat the Muscle Shoals and Boulder
Dam proposals and make competition
from them impossible. is one of the
reasons for the large expenditure in
political campaigns by the power COM
panies.

HOOvER'S SLUSH
FUND GOING UP
Now at 100000; Smith
Didn't Tell All"

WASHINGTON, May 10. - Three
hundred thousand dollars instead of
$250000 are the revised figures of
Herbert Hoover's pre-convention slush
| fund. This is the amount that will be
admittedly spent to secure the repub-
lican nomination for Hoover, accord
ing to ex-Congressman James w.
Good, rotund Herbert's principal man
lager, in his testimony Saturday be-
fore the senate committee which is
conducting a so-called investigation
into the campaign expenses of presi-
dental candidates.
"Never before" has national cam
paign been conducted "at such small
expense" Good said, pointing to the
huge funds collected for would-be
presidents in the past in an effort to
minimize the more than a quarter
million that is being spent to put Wall
Streets great flood control expert in
line for Coolidge's job.
Good deprecated Governor AL
Smiths slush fund figures as given
by his New York state campaign
manager, George r. Van Nance, and
intimated that Van Nance "didn't tell
alp in estimating Smiths fund at
$103,310. He stoutly maintained that
he himself had told the whole truth,
despite the fact that on the second
day of his testimony he found it adj
visable to revise some Of the figures
he had given the previous day.

The women workers, instructed to
use their lips to paint brushes with
which they were painting watch dials
with radium solution, unknowingly
absorbed lethal radium in 1922. It
was several years before they became
aware of the effects of the poison as
it slowly ate its way through flesh
and bone toward their brains.
On July 10, 1927, they filed petition
to sue the radium corporation after
that company had claimed the statute
of limitations exempted it from re-
sponsibility. Hearings were set for
Jan. IL, 1928. Then they were adj
journed until April g. Radium at

is becoming steadily worse. Medicine

South and West Gain

By LELAND OLDs. (Fed. Press.

By LELAND OLDS, ,(Fed. Press
Emphasis on industrialism in the
south should not blind US to the fact
that nearly so per cent of the factory
workers are still employed in the
middle Atlantic and east north cen
Ntral states. New York, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Michigan and Wisconsin have retained
the dominant position in manufacture
which they had rs years ago, the
gains in the south and on the Pacific
coast coming chiefly at the expense
of New England.
These facts are brought out in
National Industrial Conference Board
survey of the regional growth Of
manufactures based on census Stats
tics. The survey shows that the
northeastern section still has more
than twice as many factory workers
as all the rest Of the country put to-
gether, and that it produces more
than 70 per cent of the total factory
output measured in dollars.
Big Increase Since 1899.
In 1899 the middle Atlantic and
east north central states had $685.

tory workers. By 1924 the factory
workers in these two divisions had
increased to 4,S33,838, slightly more
than the total for the country in
1899. In the same period the total
Of factory workers increased to 1884,
261. Within this tier of states the
center of factory population has
shifted west, the proportion of the
middle Atlantic to the country as a
whole falling from 1925 per cent to
29.71 per cent while the proportion OF
the east north central rose from
22.77 per cent to 27.95 per cent.

Percentage Falls

The number of factory workers
east of the Mississippi increased from
4,165,621 in 1899 to 7,150,S83 in 1925,
but the percentage of workers east
of the Mississippi to the country's
total declined from 1874 per cent to
85.3 per cent. In this eastern region
the northern states showed an in
crease from 3,530,069 to- 5,956,O54
but their proportion fell from 74.9
per cent to ITO per cent. In the
south the total increased from 635,552
to 1,194,829 and the proportion from
1876 per cent to 1913 per cent.
West of the Mississippi the factory
workers increased from 547,142 in
1899 to 1,233,378 in 1925 and the pro-
portion of the total from 11.6 per
cent to AT per cent. Thus over a
25-year period the gain west of the
Mississippi was more extraordinary
than in the south.
The increases in factory workers in
the section between 1899 and 1925
were New England, BIT per cent;
Middle Atlantic, 55.2 per cent. East

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, May 49,
Active leadership of the textile strike
by the Textile Mill Committees was
continued yesterday with the contin-
uance of picketing under the direction
Of the committees.
Angelina Taoupreas under bail on
a charge of assault arising out of a
picketing demonstration in which she
and Christina Simones were arrested,
appeared on the picket line again yes
terday and was greeted enthusiastic
ally by the other workers. One of the
mill bosses drove his automobile into
the picket line and barely missed in
juring a number of workers. He was
saved from possible injury by speed
ing up his car and escaping.
Issue Statement.
In a statement issued yesterday by
Thomas F. Mcmahon, reactionary
president of the United Textile Work
ers, he sought to convey the impress
sion that the 10000 striking textile
operatives have been brought under
the influence of his organization since
the so-called amalgamation between
the American Federation of Textile
Operatives and the U. T. w. 1t is
known, however, that the attempt of
the A. F. of L. bureaucrats is to di-
vide the organized from the morgan
lied workers and thus to play into
the hands of the bosses. The Textile
Mill Committees will fight this at
tempt, it is understood.
