serve to increase reserves against
commercial loans. Wage earners mis-
trusted the banks and refused either
to receive their wages in checks or to
use checking account for the pay
ment of their bills. The stocking or
ginger jar or some other hiding place
at home contained the family work
ing capital until it was spent.
The establishment of labor banks,
and especially the accompanying prop
uganda, has gone far to break down
this barrier of mistrust. For every
wage dollar available to the labor
banks there are probably 10 going to
swell the reserves of the capitalist
banks serving as one basis for the ex-
traordinary expansion of their re-
sources.

Chicago Left
Wing Forces
Boss to Sign

CHICAGO, Jan. 0.-Manufactur-
ers of ladies' garments are signing
up with the left wing Chicago Joint
Board Of the Cloak and Dressmakers'
Union. This in spite of the fact that
Morris Sigman, president of the In
ternational Ladies Garment Workers
Union has almost completely wrecked
the Chicago union by expelling the
left wing officers.
The union announces that the Doc
tor Dress Company, and the Berg and
Vessel Dress Company have signed
up with the union, due to the pressure
of the workers, who informed the
bosses that if they signed up with
the Sigman union they would walk
out.
Many more cloak and dress firms
are about to renew their contracts as
soon as they expire, the Joint Board
said.

failed to eliminate strikes which have,
on the contrary, increased. The law
has had the effect,-some say that
was the purpose of the act-of pre-
venting labor from securing the adj
vantage of it's bargaining power in
times of rising wage levels, but has
enabled the employers to secure
downward revisions of wages in times
of declining standards.
AS preparation to the attempt to
put through similar legislation in the
United States, considerable propa-
ganda, it is stated, is being sent out
to the labor press in favor of such q
proposal.
1t is pointed out that during the
past few months an intensive cam
paign extending to practically every
labor paper, has been conducted by
the Russell Sage Foundation advising
the adoption of an arbitration law. 1t
now appears that the officials of the
labor movement have been in league
with propaganda.
The cooperation Of Matthew Woll
and the labor officialdom with the
open shop interests for the purpose
of putting over non-strike law is
being interpreted as most significant.
Opinion, however, is almost uniform
that the present deepening economic
crisis may render such law impos-
sible of enforc sment, inasmuch as all
employers would Immediately seek
wage awards thus leading to the dis
crediting of the act.

This occurred as far back as Feb
ruary 18th. 1926, when Senator
Wheeler brought the circumstances
of the forgeries proving" that Count
Karolyi was associated with the Boil
sheviks, to the attention of the SEN
ate. At this time he showed that the
Krcn agency had received $4,000 for
spying on Karolyi and for furnish
ing the fake documents accepted by
the state department as basis for
refusing him admission.
But this start of an investigation
was just one of Senator Wheeler's
usual "liberal gestures" and after
the consideration Of these obvious
forgeries by the foreign affairs COM

once the senator from Montana has

What an Honest Investigation Would

An honest investigation would
have proven that the Hungarian
White Terror maintains a forgery
mill and spy system in America
utilizing it to frame up workers both
here and at home. AS result re-
lationship between the Hungarian
government and the government of
the United States would have been
strained, furthermore, the work of
killing off and railroading innocent
workers to prison would have become
more difficult in Hungary, while the
reign OF terror at present aids Wall
S rect profits derived from there.
The American government chose
the other course! Senator Wheeler's
feeble protest served its purpose and
then died down. The American gov
eminent continued to give active sup
port to the Iorthy government in
Hungary--and to close its eyes to the
extension of its white terror methods
to the United States. And the latest
revelations once more bring the
frame-up issue before the American
WorIers, because, in covering up,

sidered it advisable not to risk fur

Big Exploiters Glad to

A compilation by the department of
economics of Prince Ion university
shows so labor banks in October, 1927,
compared with SO in July, 1924, while
their total resources now stand at
Silt ,436,344.
Labor banks started as a race of pig
mics in world of capitalist banking
giants and they have survived by serv-
ing the purposes of the community of
giants and opera ing along strictly
capitalist lines. The giants continue
to grow bigger and more powerful at
rate which dwarfs the growth of
the labor banks. Between Dec. 81,
1926 and the same date 1927 the re-
sources of the National City Rank of
New York increased from 81, 394 $780,

LEADERS NOT TO LABOR BANKS ARE
FIGHT WAGE CUTS PART OF SYSTEM
Federal Investigation
Asked Instead

FALL RIVER, Mass, Jan. 80. -
Designating the fighting sentiment
evident among the tens of thousands
of workers here who have suffered
cuts in the past few weeks, the lead
ers of the United Textile Workers of
America have decided that their most
aggressive step will be to pass pro-
lest resolution and to call for feder-
al investigation.
At meeting held in this city I'M
der the auspices of the Central Labor
Union, Thomas F. Mcmahon, presi-
dent of the United Textile Workers,
Charles Reed, American Federation of
Labor representative in Massachu-
sets, and others, all stated that they
most emphatically do not see the
necessity for wage cut.
In proposing a resolution asking
for a federal investigation they did
not answer the queries asked as to
the purpose or the value of such a
move in face of the fact that the re-
duction becomes effective today.
1t seems now as if the Fall River
Textile Council had temporarily sue
ceeded in overriding the protests of
it's affiliated locals. But competent
observers point out that the workers
organizations that do exist embrace
only the more skilled operatives. The
protest of the unorganized may as yet
precipitate strike.
The Stevsns Manufacturing Com
pany is still completely tied up by the
strike of the weayers, who went out
when they were told to operate 8
looms instead of two.

SAY ORGANIZERS
HAVE ENTRAINED
FOR THE REGION
Hitherto Have Stayed
in Hotels, Not Mills
Bv JACK RODGERS.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Jan. 30.-For
the third time in as many months,
William Collins, A. F. of L. represen-
tative in Pittsburgh, has announced
that an army of organizers are about
to be turned loose on the steel indus
try with the object of unionizing that
mighty industrial octopus, task
which has not been tackled since Will
liam z. Foster led the great strike
of 1919, a strike that ended in de-
feat for the steel workers, chiefly be-
cause of the failure of the interna-
ticnal union chiefs to put the welfare
of all the workers in the industry
above their own petty interests.
Good Objects.
The immediate aim of the proposed
organizing campaign, according to
Collins, is to aid the striking miners
coal and steel being twin brothers in
the industrial household.
According to reports a "high of
fetal" of the United Mine Workers
announced that a squad of interna-
tional organizers entrained at Pitts
burgh for Wheeling "to launch care
fully mapped program of educational
and organizational work among the
steel workers there"
Keep Away From Mills.
The only time those alleged organ
izers are heard of publicly is when
they are supposed to be entraining
for some destination. Judging by re
suits so far, they never entrain for
the steel mills.
This bluff to organize the steel
workers has been made so often by
the reactionary bureaucrats of the
A. F. of L. that neither the workers
nor the steel magnates any longer
pay any attention to it. An interna-
tional organizer fiddled around Gary.
Indiana, for two years, spent $4,000
and did not organize enough steel
workers to fill E telenhone booth
That was two or three years ago.
Progressive trade unio.tists here
point ont that if the executive coun-
ell Of the A. F. of l.. was serious in
its professed desire to help the min
ers, it would recommend to the inter
national unions affiliated with the
federation that they levy an assess
naent Of a dollar week on the mem
bership, which would provide millions
Of dollars month for the miners
strike and relief fund instead of the
paitry $4,000 contributed to date.
A Face-Saving Stunt.
In the opinion of we!l-informed
trade unionists in this city, those mys-
terious con3ings and goings Of the
phantom 'arrny" Of organizers are
intended as face-saving stunts on the
part Of the bureaucrats who are fid-
ding in swell hotels and living on
swell salaries while the trade union
edifice IL burning down around them.
Under pressure of the progressive
elements in the trade unions and in
particular because Of the activities of
the "Save the Union Committee" of
the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea, the reactionaries are forced to
make bluff at carrying out pro-
grams adopted at previous confer
ences. The rank and file is getting
FESTIVE and demanding action. The

In the discussion, Vice President
Phillips of the Pennsylvania State
Federation of Labor and prominent

the practical people in the labor
movement must be brought together.
That is possible by following the pro-
gram of the A. F. of L. to increase
production in order that it may be

New York. Describing in detail how
young workers were forced to work
for one-third the wages Of journey
men, Miller said the fact that these
young workers were not organized
was source of weakness to the whole
labor movement, as in times Of strike
the employers depend upon the unor-
ganized youngsters to help break
strikes. He described how his or
ganization had organized the plumbers
helpers and how they went out on

days play in the challenge rounc
of the Davis cup matches. Th(
United States bid for world tennis
supremacy increased today with the
gallant performances of William T
Tilden and John Hennessey, Ameri-
cas- aces, who opened fire on the
French stars.
Tilden defeated Rene La Coste
1-6, ga, Ga, 2-6, 6-3, while Hen
nessey bowed to the brilliant Henri
Cochet, after a courageous strug-
gle, ST, OF, 6-3, 60.
The American veteran fought one
of the most gallant matches of his
career. He started erratically and
lost the first set. In the second
and third he was at times the old
Tilden and his younger opponent
was unable to break through him.
The fourth went against Tilden and
then he came back to win the final
set.
The last set was nerve wracking.
1t meant the end for one or the
other of the two old enemies.
Big Bill" with as Brilliant a show
Of speed and accuracy as he ever had
shown, went on to lead at 80 and
4-3. He fought courageously and
successfully to carry on at 5-3,
holding his service.
He needed but one game to take
the set and match and he made
good-accomplished the supposedly
impossible feat of veteran coming
back against a young man of high
caliber.
The gallery went wild with enthu-
siasm as LaCoSte drove the ball out
for the last point. The French rose
from their seats, as did the Ameri-
cans, to honor the victor
Hennessey began strongly and had
Cochet puzzled with his fine game.
The youthful American star, now
No. l man on the United States
team, squared the match at 5-5 and
went out by a fine display Of strok-
ing, backed by intelligent playing
Hennessey was on the aggressive
all the way in the third set, mix
ing his shots in a confusing manner.
Cochet looked way off, but this
seemed mostly due to Hennessey's
battling change of pace.
The Indianapolis man tired visibly
in the third set and was easy prey
for Cochets volleying game. In the
fourth set the American was fight
ing gamely, but could not find his
second wind and went down without
winning a game,

chief interest today centering in the
drawings for the first days events.
There was great interest particu-
larly in the 100-meters event, in
which each of the sixteen heats
contains a champion or record
holder. Each of the known stars,
with the exception Of Porr;tt, a vet

difficulty. Porritt will compete
against such stars as Barrientos,
the Cuban flash, and Helle, Finnish
champion.
Opposition Only Fair
The Americans, Claude Bracey,
Henry Russell and Bob McAllister,
drew the last three heats, which
means they will have less time to
rest before the semi finals, but the
opposition is Indifferent and there
Is little chance Of the Americans
losing, because two men will be Sc
lected in each heat.
