WORKERS or VERA
CRUZ BURN SLUMS

MEXICO CITY, by Mail). - The
Tenants League of Vera Cruz has or
dered the workers in the slums to
demolish their houses, and has furn-
ished them tents in which to live.
This step was taken as drastic
measure against the landlords who
have attempted to force rent from the
workers.
Members of the Tenants League
have refused to pay rent since 1921
in protest against the failure of the
landlords to make necessary repairs.
In 1922 the tenants strike movement
spread throughout Mexico. In Mexi-
co City, Puebla and other places the
movement was suppressed and its
leaders shot, but in Vera Cruz it has
remained well organized.
Since the climate of Vera Cruz is
tropical the workers will be able to
live comfortably in their tents, which
are more sanitary than the shacks
they have demolished.

HAZARDS CAUSED
BY SPECTATORS

Speed-up of workers by ignorant
and greedy speculative builders is
largely responsible for the increase
of accidents in the construction in
dustry, New York state Labor Com
missioner James A. Hamilton told the
Building Congress.
"In the building business one I'M
fortunate and regretable situation
arises from the fact that many en-
ployers are in it when they know
absolutely nothing about it," said
Hamilton. Having made money in
some other line of business, they sud-
denly make up their minds to go into
speculative building. They go into it
with the avowed purpose of produc-
ing something with the least possible
money. Their ignorance and greed
are appalling"
Building trades accidents are in
creasing and gaining seriousness.
Fatalities are much more frequent on
construction jobs than in factories,
and have been increasing faster than
the increase of employment in the
building trades.

LOS ANGELES, Calf, Jan. 3d.
The state of California, particularly
in the building trades, is especially
hard hit by the wave of unemploy-
ment felt thruout the United States.
San Francisco shows steadily in
creasing number of unemployed work
ers each month over the previous
month.
According to the estimates by the
Chamber of Commerce, there are co.
900 unemployed workers in Los
angeles alone. This is very con-
sentative estimate, as would be ex-
pected from the business boosters. A
leading Mexican daily newspaper pub
lished in Los Angeles reports that
there are at least 100000 unemployed
workers here. Every week the news
papers report that dozens of workers
are arrested for "vagrancy" and tolc
to get work or get out of town, other
wise they would go to Jail.

Tells of Struggle.
"My grandfather and father were
miners and my brothers and husband
are strikers now, fighting for
chance to earn decent living" Mrs.
Getto, the 24-year- old militant fighter
in the ranks of the Bentleyville Min
ers Women's Auxiliary, said in an in
terview here last night
''The women and children have to
pick coal out of the slate pile while
the men work in the mines to make
enough to buy food for them all. My
mother and her sisters and brothers
used to sell this coal for ten cents
bushel to get enough to eat, and con-
ditions aren't any better now. That's
why we're on the picket line, tool"
Arrest Workers.
Mrs. Getto told how the company
police. or the "yellow- dogs" as they
are called in the strike. fields, arrested
two men for picketing and after fin
ing them $3.50 a piece asked them to
promise that not more than seven
would picket at time.
"But we showed those yellow dogs
they couldn't boss US. The wonen's
auxiliary took the children and we all
went on the picket line the next day"
Killed IN Steel Mill.
Not only are things hard for min
ers, Rachel Getto said, but conditions
in the mills are even worse. When a.
miner, Sabotich, tried his luck in
steel mill in Woodlawn he was killed
the first day he worked there, and
his wife and ten children, ranging
from four months to IA years, are liv-
ing on the little the Miners Relief
can spare. Most of the miners and
their families have only one meal
day, she said.
Meeting In Brooklyn.
Another mass meeting will be held
at New Columbia Hall, $50 Blake
Ave, Brooklyn, Friday at $50

New York City, Jan. 80, to continue
for three weeks. 1t is the first ex-
position of it's kind in the 10 years of
Soviet rule and is described as purely
educational and artistic in character.
Daily programs will include lee
lures by American authorities who
have visited the Soviet Union recent
ly, music by we'll known Russian art
lists, and the exhibition of hundreds of
examples of peasant handicrafts,
theatre models, books, and posters
sent to New York by the Russian So
ciety for Cultural Relations.
Wide Program.
The exhibits are divided into groups
showing the development under the
Soviet government, of education
public health, agriculture, industry
transportation, commerce, and fl
nance, and the arts of the theatre,
ballet, and opera, woodworking,
metal working, textiles, printing, and
architecture.
One of the most important parts Of
the exposition is the Theatre Exhibi-
ton, which includes 25 models of
stage sets from all of the great thea
tres of Russia and from Workers
Theatres, and many pictures and post
ers of other productions.
Modern Theatre.
Every modern tendency in the thea
tire, as well as the classical traditions
of the Russian stage, are illustrated
in the models, since the Russian pro-
ducers have been among the most ar
dent experimentalists in the world.
The Theatre Exhibition has been ar
ranged by a committee of New York
directors and artists, including Lee
Simonson, Kenneth Macgowan, Oliver
Saylor, Irene Lewisohn, Leo Bulgakov,
Eugene Schoen, and Boardman Robin
son.

All Good Tammany Men.
The judge, good Tammany disci-
pie, listened most respectfully to both
sides, no less attentively to Robert
F. Wagner, perhaps the second most
distinguished son of the local DEM
ocracy, than to the representative Of
the traction interests who are known
to have more than one finger in the

Considerable good feeling was

Immediately after the first inevitable
high sounding verbal attacks had
been launched. Then there occurred
from time to time various forms of
not altogether concealed "joshing"
between the opposing" counsels, a
bit of railery in which even the Judge
took an unbending part.

In rebuttal, Quackenbush sought to
commit the legal staff, and officials
Of the Amalgamated to the proposal
of an increased fare as condition
of increased pay for the men. did

are available through only one source,

enbush with a friendly smile. The
Tammany representative merely smil-
ed in return. The Judge was stern.
The public" did not quite under
stand.
The main position taken by Quack-
enbush in his final argument was
somewhat of a modification of his
original stand. No longer asking for
the V lie dozen demands in the APP
lication, he stressed only the request
for an order restraining a strike.

say anything to this "indelicate" sug-

The judge took the case "under

within two or three weeks. Incident

movement is said to be involved. An
