MANY JOBLESS
IN CALIFORNIA
Ford Plant Was Closed
For Year
by a Worker Correspondent

LOS ANGELES, Cal, (By Mail -
While employment conditions in
Washington and Oregon were seri-
ously affected by unfavorable weather
and curtaiment Of the lumber indus
try, California had an overwhelming
surplus of labor embracing practically
all lines of work, according to the
monthly report for April just issued
by the u. s. department of labor.
In Los Angeles and vicinity, the
largest surplus Of labor was in the
building trades and oil field work,
the governments survey said. Dur
ing April many plants here operated
with reduced forces, but those manu-
featuring agricultural and irrigation
equipment worked full crews, the re-
port stated.
Ford Plant Closed a Year.
There is no unemployment in the
United States, Henry Ford told re-
porters in London, England, a month
or so ago. But even Ford's local plant
was practically closed for a year
previous to the auto kings false
statement to the English press.

AJAX, Federal,
EMMETT MILLS IN
GROWING STRIKE
Mass Picketing Called
Urgent Need
(Bu q Worker Correspondentl

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, (By MaiD
The strike of the hosiery workers
of the Ajax and Federal Mills in
Philadelphia is receiving attention
from the bosses tools, the judges An
injunction against picketing has been
issued at the Federal Mill where the
attack of the bosses is the most Sc
we're and the strike against further
wage cuts is being bitterly fought.
Picketing.
At the Ajax Hosiery Mill picketing
is going on, but what is needed is
mass picketing and organization Of
the unorganized.
The boss is sending his work to
little country towns like Phoenixville
The union officials should see that
these places are organized. This is
important as the capitalist owners of
the hosiery mills, at their recent con-
ference, mapped out plans to begin
operations in small towns, thereby
escaping the unions. They hope to
transfer some of the most backward
unionists to instruct the unorganized
workers and when the unions in Phila-
delphia call strike, the bosses, hav-
ing their mills in the country towns,
can be Independent of the unions and
will crush the workers.
Organize the unorganized hosiery
workers in all branches of the hosiery
industry. A plentiful display of pick
cts at the Federal Mill is necessary.
The boss fears picketing, and mass
picketing will help win this strike at
the Emmett Mill, 18th and Race SITS.
which has just gone on strike. Pick
citing ought to go on all the time and
efforts ought to be made to force all
those in the mill to strike.
Those on strike should cooperate
with The DAILY WORKER. 1t is
their paper and it will fight for their
interests. News of developments will
be published by it.
Bosses Offensive.
The workers must be made to UNI
derstand that these strikes are but
forerunners of an attempt to crush
their union. They must fight this at
tempt and not allow the capitalist
exploiters to break down their stand
ards of living.
The fine weather is here. Open air
meetings of the strikers should be
held near the union hall or in the
recreation park in the heart of the
workers district, Kensington Then
the workers affected by the hosiery
strike could bring their struggle to
the attention of all the workers. This
would greatly help to win the strike.
Our slogan should be, mass and
militant picketing and organization
Of the unorganized. The workers who
are receiving the fruits of ''coopera-
ton" with the bosses, should take a
decided stand against the capitalist
owners of the hosiery industry or they
viii see the destruction of their union
and be forced into company unions.
There should be cooperation among
the workers against the bosses of the
mills. W. c. 2.

Herald Correspondent Tells Amusing Story, With a Moral

The following letter, commenting on the theory of evolution and tell ing an amusing little tale of a monkey. a la Chinese, has been re- ceived by the Herald.
 C. P. O. Box No. 1234,
 Shanghai, China,
 June goth, 1928. Dear Editor:
 I have just read articles by mis- sing-link seekers. In one was re- produced photo-an apes foot much like human foot. The au- thor said it proved our ape ancestry. Recently I handled a snapshot of an islander with a tail nearly four inches long. Another proof! But a few years ago l saw in Japan a stuffed calf with a human face-a strong proof that we've sprung from COWS. So what are we to think ? The articles amused as they said be- lievers in their theory were of ''up- to-date," modern" minds. But their new" ideas seem like plagiar- isms. These "superior-minded" men say we came up from the monkey and are even in some sense divine! The Chinese of old say a monkey excepting his face-became not only man but also a god!

He was ambitious and his exploits caused him 10 be acclaimed king of the animals and to wax strong. Through Long Wang he got an iron rod which he could expand at will to span the sky or contract so as to fit in his ear-magic wand. Pu-ti taught him how to fly and how to change himself into 72 different shapes. What he could not do is hard to say. But as he gained in power, and his friends said he was worthy to rule heaven. he wished to do so. Many kings made league with him and celebrated it with feasting. But our monkey got drunk. and while un- conscious he was taken to hell. He awoke. overcame the powers of hell an descaped He was accused to

You can reach me at the club" For little while after he had left, Lynda sat quietly. with her hands resting in her lap. Was every man d poet when talking love? David talked of the moon. and NIT. Armitage softly spoke of violets drenched in rain. David seemed ashamed, but Ralph Armitage was impatient because she didn't re- spond.
 When the young boss returned, he found the rest of the letters he had dictated that morning neatly piled on his desk, and Lynda at work on the filing cases. He was very businesslike as he gave her some more letters pertaining to the firm. Lynda could not make her self believe that few hours ago he had likened her eyes to the Mediter- ranean. After he had finished his dictation, he said:
 I'll be here until these are fin- ished, and I'll sign them. Has any one called?"
 "Yes. MT. Aimitage. I made a note of the calls. Youll find it in one of the baskets. Miss Calla said she always put them there" He looked over the calls without comment.
 Good might. Miss Fenton. On second thought. I'll sign the letters in the morning. In moment, however, he was back.

ANTI-WAR CONFERENCE
 APPEALS TO COOLIDGE
Meeting Of Chief Nations to Sign Pact Meets With Executive
 Approval

Superior, Wis. July e1 RNThe suggestion of an international con- ference at which the anti-war treaty now under negotiation with the chief nations of the world finally would be concluded and signed by the participating governments, ap- peals to President Coolidge.
 Secretary of State Kellogg has reported to Mir. Coolidge that such a suggestion has come from several European governments and that Paris has been proposed as suit able capital iE which to hold the gatherings. While the state depart ment has the matter under consider ation and has come to no conclusion as yet regarding it. President Cool idge is inclined to think a ceremony of this kind would enhance greatly the prestige of the treaty and would emphas'Ze it's importance to all na- tions of the world.
 Paris appears to Mir. Coolidge as eminentiy suitable for an occasion of this kind and he holds that Washington could not expect to be chosen because of its distance from the majority of the capitals of the nations involved.
 The chief executive is heartened by the favorable response given Mir. kellogg's last draft of the treaty by the majority of the fourteen powers to which it was addressed. Success ful conclusion of such pact now is foregone conclusion. Under its terms the signatory nations would agree to renounce war "as an instru- bind themselves to seek settlement of future disputes only through peaceful channels.
