FIRE INSURANCE
RATE GUT IS
SAVING

The improved construction of the
average building erected during the
past few years has resulted In prop
erty owners and tenants enjoying
savings Of millions of dollars in fire
insurance premiums, according to c.
w. Pierce, vice president of the
Fidelity-Ph Fire Insurance Com.
pany.
There are, of course, other influ-
ences tending to reduce fire insur.
ance rates, such as improved fire
department protection, increased
sprinkler installations and fire pre-
yention education, but construction
is the most important factor" de.
clares Pierce.
Figure Construction
Thousands of more or less anti
quated buildings OF different types In
all sections of the country have in
recent years been supplanted by
new, slow burning and fire resisting
structures, and the results have
been clearly reflected in the average
fire insurance rate, construction be-
ing the first consideration in figur-
ing the basis charge for fire insur-
ance protection.
I'm 1914, the average fire insur-
ance premium charged by the lead.
ing stock fire underwriters of the
country was $1.O3 cents a hundred
dollars Of coverage. while by 1928
1t had declined to S3.4 cents.
Effect Enormous
This decrease, which occurred in
the face of substantial advances in
the prices of virtually all other
business necessities, may not ap-
pear to be a material change, upon
superficial examination. but when
it is applied to the billions Of dol.
lars worth Of buildings and contents
covered by fire insurance, the effect
Is seen to be enormous.
On the amount of gross insurance
written by 2S4 leading companies
last year. for instance, the differ
ence in the premium rate meant
a. decrease of about $685.. 900, 900 in
income as compared with what
these underwriters would have re.
ported under the 1924 rate. 1t re.
presents, therefore, approximately
that much saving to the public last
year"

WARSAW, Poland, July %. - A
CHASTITY picture of inhuman torture
was unfolded at the court hearing of
the thirty-four Polish, White Rus
sian and Jewish workers recently
tried in Bielestok after being kept
on remand for two years. The work
ers are accused of membership in
the Communist Party and of hav-
ing prepared an armed uprising for
the purpose of violently overthrow
ing Polish rule in White Russia.
Tales of constant and systematic
beatings, water poured into the pris-
oners' noses and rags stuffed into
their mouths were told the court.
One of the workers, Adolph Raich-
man, died in prison as result of
the injuries he suffered.
Demonstration in Court.
When during the reading of the
indictment the name of Raichman
was mentioned, the prisoners in the
dock raised a storm of protest,
shouting that Raichman had been
murdered by the political police. The
prisoners then unfurled and waved
a red flag.

Meerut Trial Shows
Revolutionary Wave
In India, Says Pravda

MOSCOW (By MaiD The "Prav-
da" declares that the trial of the
Indian revolutionary leaders in Nee
rut is an expression of the growing
revolutionary wave in India. This
was the first mass process in which
the accused were revolutionaries not
only in words, but also in deeds. The
process was also significant because

were members of the Defense Com
mittee for the Indian revolutionaries
but Labor ministers refused even to

mittee.
Here one can see the favorite
game of the reformists, the so-called
left-wingers act as camouflage for
their reactionary colleagues. 1t was

Professor Pickens, the next speak

act as tools for expressing the Ne

are their oppressors and fail to
recognize that their real oppressor
is the capitalist.
Following these addresses, the
British delegation, including Maxton
and Kirkwood, sent a message to
the accused workers at Meerut,

British government which maintains
its foreign rule against the princi-
pies of humanity and the will of the

Foodstuffs Scarcer AS
Tieup is Complete

BUENOS AIRES, Argentine, July
28.-Striking Rosario dock workers
are reported to have resisted an at
tack by police, who attempted to
dispense picket lines yesterday, with
the result that the authorities re-
port one police officer dead. 1t is
not known if any casualties were
suffered by the strikers.
Staple foodstuffs, bread, milk and
meat are becoming scarcer, reports
from the strike city state, especial
ly since the bakers joined the gen.
eral strike movement Friday.
Attempts of indignant scab GUS
toners to operate the ovens have
resulted in very little bread.
The streets of Rosario are desert-
ed, the public utilities have ceased
running, of course, owing to the
unanimous strike action of the men,
and many of the inhabitants are
staying in their houses in fear of
the outbreak of fresh hostilities be-
tween the strikers and the police
such as have marked the strike so
far. The police have been openly
violent in attempting to smash the
strike ty force and the strikers have
resisted with brilliant determination
and success, giving the police as
good as they sent. Shooting has
marked every occasion when the
police have tried to attack picket
lines or ride down or dispense strik-
ers' patrols.
Abalos, the minister of public
works under the Irigoyen govern
ment, which has called out the
troops to break the strike, has again
urged the workers and the bosses
to negotiate the dispute.

FRANKFORT = AM MAIN, Ger
many, July 28.-Wednesday morn
ing session of the world congress of
the League Against Imperialism
opened with discussion of the Irish
question.
O'Donnell, the leader Of the Irish
Free Republicans, reported and his
address was followed by discussion,
Chinese Emancipation.
During the afternoon session,
Chiu, the speaker for the problems
Of Chinese liberation, reported. He
described the struggle for emanci-
patton and the industrial situation.
Wage cutting and unemployment
are the causes of widespread star
walton, he stated.
He further declared that fascism
is advancing apace in China, but
added that, in spite of the massacre
of revolutionists, the fight is con-
tinuing. Discussion followed his adj
dress.
The discussion developed the facts
that peace sermons are of no use to
the Chinese masses who must re-
sort to weapons or be suppressed.
The Negro Question.
On Thursday morning the Negro
question was on the agenda, with
Ford reporting on the struggle for
the emancipation of the Negro race.
He declared that League tactics with
reference to the Negroes must ac-
cord strictly with the nature of the
problem at hand. South Africa
must demand a Negro Republic.
The United States must demand race
independence, West Africa, Haiti.
and Liberia direct independence,
East Africa, withdrawal of British
troops.
The League, he said, must demand
the eight-hour day, equal wages for
equal work, liberty of trade unions,
press and speech, labor protection,
restitution of land and civil rights,
etc.
Ford further asserted that reform
ism is rife among the Negroes, al

His comrades in misfortune imme-
diately began a hunger strike in sign
of protest.
The prison is surrounded by strong
police forces and the number of
guards within the prison has been

by these measures doubtless intends
to provoke conflicts to serve as an
excuse for the wholesale massacre
of the refractory prisoners.

More than one hundred political
