BOSTON, (FP) April 1O.-Railroad
workers may have a taste of Coolidge
mediation if the Boston & Maine per-
sists in its efforts to cut wages of
union railway clerks by 8 to 10 cents
an hour. Although the road has net
ted profits of $20,0OO,0O0 since 1924,
it is seeking to shear a million year
from it's clerks.
When the dispute is presented to
the Parker-Watson mediation board,
the union may agree to arbitrate the
wage decrease, with an almost certain
cut in sight. But if the clerks refuse
to submit the probability of having a
slash inflicted on their paychecks,
President Coolidge will have the
power to appoint a fact-finding COM
mission, whose report might also lead
to a slash.
The union would be restrained from
striking to preserve its standards un-
til 80 days after the fact-finders' re-
port, affOrding the road ample oppor-
tunity to marshall strikebreakers.

WASHINGTON, April 10 (FP).-
An attempt by Rep. ROYAL Johnson Of
South Dakota. on April 5, to STAN
pede the membership of the house into
ordering his general CONSUMPTION bill
brought Immediately to the head Of
the calendar was defeated for politi-
cal reasons by members of the house
military affairs committee Johnson
filed a motion for immediate action,
which would become effective if 21S
members would sign it. The bill, pre-
tending to safeguard the country
against profiteering in war time. is
so worded that all factories could be
militarizcd, while all manufacturers
could be permitted to profiteer.
Hanford McNider, former national
commander of the American Legion,
banker and associate of the cement
trust, was credited by Johnson with
originating this bill. johnson quoted
his own war record and the testimony
of past experience of the government
to prove the obvious fact that bust
ness men have robbed the government
in all it's wars. He did not allude in
any way to the fact that labor bodies
have steadily fought his scheme be-
cause its real purpose is to prevent
wage increases in time of war
WASHINGTON, April 10 (FP).-
That the Capper-Johnson universal

AZ thelf meeting they UNANIMOUSLY
agreed that the only way to check
crime would be to enact law similar
to the New York Baumes law. Altho
they do not mean to copy the Baumes
law word for word, they want the
Pennsylvania law to rest on the same
basis. The Baumes law automatically
convicts a man to life imprisonment
if arrested for fourth offense.
The attorneys decision was lauded
in the Philadelphia papers as very
bright idea. But to US, crime seems
to be the result of certain causes and
in order to check crime these causes
must be removed. Crime will exist
as long as poverty, hunger and want
exist. People have been shot, hanged.

Fired for Aid
to Negro Loan
Shark Victims

(By a Worker Correspondent
In New York City we have many
loan sharks and just as many insur-
ance sharks. The underpaid laborel
has to begin to pay up his burial
expenses in monthly or weekly in
stallments which he must continue
all his life. A worker, twenty years
Of age, takes out policy for about
5000 and starts paying about SIS a
year. A non-payment in a period of
thirty days causes him to lose this
insurance.
Prey on Negroes.
The greatest prey for these sharks
is the Negro population in this city.
The companies that write industrial
insurance do not accept Negroes.
They claim that this is due to the
high mortality of the Negroes
Therefore, the Negro worker is open
to the small insurance sharks, who
besides collecting heavy fees, cheat
them from the benefit when the poll
cies become due.
The writer of this article came to
work for one of these sharks (name
omitted for obvious reasons). AS
Communist he thought it his duty to
bring the message of Communism to
these unorganized Negro workers.
With the help of the Workers
Party section, he organized quite a
successful meeting addressed by
Party speakers. Those Negro work
ers, for the first time in their lives.
heard the presentation of working
class ideas.
There is a traitor in every cause
and someone carried a report of this
to the office and the office
acted promptly. The writer was call
ed in and was told that he was to
be discharged. A 100 per cent Amer
lean office cannot employ a Commun-
list.
AS a follower of Lenin, he man
euvered with the boss and as a re-
suit he is still able to keep his con-
nections with the Negro workers
and he will keep on his work and
spread our propaganda among them.
Losing job is not so bad as it is
for our Chinese comrades to lose
their lives. A Communist must pay
the price. d.
