MACH|N|STS CLAIM
UNI AIR PAY BASIS
Navy Yard Employees Ask
Wages on Parity With
G. P. O. Workers.

Charging that navy yard machi1ists
have been Disseminated against in a
matter of wage scales, E. G. McGregor,
president of Local TIA, today asked the
Navy Wage Board of Review that the
machinistS at the yard be put on a
wage parity with machinistS employed
in the Government Printing Office, the
Bureau of Printing and Engraving and
in the repair of anil Bags and Locks.
He pointed out the navy yard ma
chinists are receiving Sc cents an hour,
against $1.10 paid machinists IN otner
branches of the Government service.
McGregor told the new board Wnlcn
is sitting in annual session that he rep
resents 1892 machinists at the WASH
ington Navy Yard and about 500 others
employed at Annapolis, Indian Head,
Bellevue Experimental Laboratory ana
the Naval Observatory.
Data compiled by the committee OF
machinists submitted to the local
wards wage board, he pointed OUT
showed that the average maximum
wage for machinists employed IN tne
industrial area from Richmond 10 PnA-
adelphia is $1.01 per hour.
In supporting his plea for hgner
wages for the navy yard employees,
McGregor also pointed out that tine
cost of living, dating from the tline OIL
the WEIGH bills provision going. into
effect, has risen in the District OF CO.
lumbia, according to Labor Department
statistics, 215 per cent. This, he SAID
If the recommendation of the local
wage board is approved by the poaro o.
review, will lower the standard OF living
to approximately 1000 whose livelihood
depends upon the machinists employed
in the Washington area.
The Navy Wage Board of Review, Will
close its session tomorrow. 1t has been
hearing for the past two days testimony
of representatives of all the crafts EN-,
ployed in navy yards in the United
States for computation wage scales for
the calendar year 1929. 1t will make its
to the Secretary OF the
Navy and its scales are expected to be
effective for the ensuing year.

PARIS CLAIMS LOAN
OFFER TO PAY u. S.
Proffer of S400,0o0,000 Is
Held Sufficient to Settle With
America for War Stocks.
BY PAUL SCOTT MoWRER.

BY Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily
News. Copyright 1928
PARIS, october 25.-It Is announced
that France already has received several
offers of foreign loans which would en-
able repayment next August of the
$500 100000 debt for war stocks to the
United States. These offers are believed
to have been made by American banks,
either directly or through Dutch and
British Intermediates.
Flotation of foreign loan for re-
payment of this debt would relieve
France from the financial necessity of
ratifying the unpopular Mellon-Beren-
ger war debt refunding agreement. It
IS believed that the government will
nevertheless present the agreement to
the Chamber of Deputies for ratifica-
ton early next year, provided the COM
mittee of experts reaches a general
reparations settlement with Germany,
and perhaps even if no such settle
ment is reached.
Meanwhile, the loan offers seem to
strengthen greatly the French diplo-
matte position toward both Germany
and the United States.

Characterizing the advertisement as
"a brazen attempt to capitalize reli-

that through this advertisement "the
Democratic county committee seeks to
brand all Republicans as bigots and
to win the support of Republican
Catholics on the score of religious
persecution"

''If his spirit is conscious of earthly

occur to him to wonder If country is

will tolerate this insult to his memory,
in which the leaders of great party

Amazon Valley for the production
of rubber and tropical products, it

according to reliable information
the huge grant which was given to

similar to those of Henry Ford's
huge concession here, had been taken
over by the Firestone interests.
Native industrialists have voiced
protests thru the press against the
huge concessions granted to foreign
interests, on the ground that they
are being pushed out in competition,
and that foreigners get more favor

Must Protest.
1t is imperative, therefore, that
all anti-fascisti and workers in this
country unite to protest against
this frame-up.
Moral as web as material support
is necessary to carry on the agita-
