Music Lovers.

Mr.. Surma, of the Surma Music
Co., 103rd Ave. A, asks US to tell the
Daily Worker readers that quite q
few of them have awaited themselves
of the opportunity of buying records
piano rolls, ETC., many of them being
revolutionary songs, at the cheap
rate at which he sells them. But
of course, he would like to see more
revolutionary music lovers.
The Ukrainian Workers Club has
had many of their songs reproduced
on the record; there is also the In
ternational which can be obtained in
English as we'll as foreign languages.
Besides being able to buy the mu-
sic desired, one has the chance of
listening to any musical selection
without charge. Special booths are
provided for this, in which, after a
hard days work, one can comfortable
lounge while listening to songs or
dances.
Since we read books and news
papers, Mr.. Surma has provided
a section of his store with books,
magazines and papers so that one
may either come to read, buy OF
just discuss.
The place is open to you.

$4,000 HAMBURG
WORKERS LIKELY
TO STRIKE TODAY
Arbitration Award Is
Rejected

HAMBURG, Germany, Sept. Is
A strike affecting $4,000 shipyard
workers in the port of Hamburg is
likely to be called today or tomor-
row, when the existing agreement
terminates.
When the shipowners refused to
grant the demands of the workers
an attempt was made to avert the
strike by submitting the points Of
dispute to a board of arbitration.
When the board of arbitration
gave its decision in favor of the
shipowners the workers rejected its
award, and the feeling among the
workers is such that they will not
work under the terms of the exist
ing agreement. When the agreement
terminates tomorrow all the $4,000
shipyard workers are expected to
be on strike.

final presentment before Judge
Raymond MacNeille, today declared
conditions of two major county pris-
ons were in a deplorable condition.
Those which were condemned are
the Moyamensing prison and the

Charges were that the grand jury
in its visit of Holmesburg had found
the food not palatable and prison
conditions deplorable, due, appa-
rently, to the crowed conditions.
Fruit was wormy, the bread a
mass of dough, beef stew bad, and
some of the prisoners were without
Undertaking, one charge stated.
Lack of employment was also
scored. The prisoners said they

former Queens borough officials,
charged with graft in connection
with the awarding of sewer con-
tracts, was heightened yesterday
with the admission of DR.. William
Matthews, that he had offered $780,
900 for the nomination for sheriff
of that borough.
Matthews, former personal physi-
clan of John M. Phillips, sewer pipe
king, said he did not get the nom
nation and later told the jury he
left the city to avoid further ques-
tioning in the investigation of al
legged political graft.
Is Go-Between.
Previously he had told of the ac-
tivities of Phillips in his rule of the
sewer contracts and testified he had
received checks for Phillips, one for
$4,000 and another for $4,000.
These, he said, were Phillips share
of the Linden Street contract, for
which he was to have received $780,
600.
Earlier evidence had connected
Phillips with John F. O'Rourke,
whose company had the contract for
the Linden Street work, in which
Phillips wanted to sell O'Rourke a
substitute for the steel plates used
in the construction work.
Matthews said Phillips wanted
$4,000 for getting the substitution
in installments as the city paid
approved, with his part to be paid
O'Rourke. Later vouchers intro
duced tended to prove the substitu-
ton had been made.

ers to accept the proposal of a 5 per
cent wage-cut, offered by the manu-
facturers as a strike settlement.
The $4,000 men and women on
strike, however, are unanimous in
their condemnation of all forms Of
compromise, their spokesman ex-
pressing their determination to con-
tinue the tieup till their demands
are met.
Frantic editorials appear daily in
the local press calling on the work
ers to accept the proposal. Minis
tiers preach that the workers whom
they have till now supported" should
capitulate. Business men and the
papers appeal to the leaders of the
Textile Council to bring the PROPOSE

So united are the workers in fol

Plan Secret Ballot.
Batty and his gang in control of
the Textile Council are to go tonight
to the meetings of their locals with
intentions to carry thru secret bal
lot on the question of acceptance of
the five per cent wage-cut offer.
Although their statements hitherto
lead to the belief that they are op-
posed to the 5 per cent offer, con-
Germ is nevertheless being felt among
the few that still belong to that
union for the honesty of the vote
count.
1t would not be exceptional for the
Council officialdom to pull the same
stunt of ballot box stuffing as was
done by the officials of the Fall

ssh to Construct Singapore Naval Air Base Grab for Power
PREPARATION
FOR COMING WAR
ON SOVIET union
Total Cost Will Amount
to S50,000,000

LONDON, Sept. 8.-Demonstrat-
ing its determination to continue its
naval pact with France and to
strengthen all its military outposts
in spite of the objections of the
United States government, the Brit
ish admiralty has announced that
construction of the great new naval
base at Singapore will be immedi-
ately completed.
Singapore, located as it is on the
Malay Peninsula, offers a strategic
point for British naval base, from
which the fleet could oprate in the
protection of the British route to
India and the far east. From this
point effective operations can be
launched against any power that
threatens the British Empire in the
east, upon which England depends
SO much for maintenance.
Threatens Other Powers.
When the Macdonald ''labor"
government came into power and
suspended operations on the naval
base, in 1924, the Japanese govern
ment unofficially expressed its APP
proval, for it considered that a Brit
ish naval base at Singapore would
threaten its expansion in China and
southwark.
The base will be one of the larg-
est in the world, enabled to accom-
modate the largest warships. 1t
will be strongly defended by long
range guns and will also contain
one of the principal British air
bases. The total cost is estimated
to be about $50,00O,000 and the in
itial clearing work has already been
completed on a six-mile frontage.
To Fight U. S. S. r.
In view of the British colonial
empire in the east and the dissat-
isfaction of the natives with the
English rule, it is generally evident
that the base will be used for pur-
poses other than to protect British
interests from American and Japa-
nese encroachments. The base will
further strengthen the British east
ern Gordon against the Soviet Union.
