AID To PUPPET.
President of Domingo
Sells Out to Bankers

PORTO RICO, April %. = A
tighter hold has been SECURED by
American bankers on pauperized
Santo Domingo thru the acceptance
of the Dawes budget plan by the
puppet Dominican government. This
plan provides that practically all
customs and internal revenue shall
go to pay interest and sinking fund
charges on the now outstanding loan
of twenty million dollars to Lee,
Higginson & Co.
This means that the previously
adopted plans for local public i'm
provements must be dropped. Also
the loans which President Vasquez
desired to procure in Europe.
The population Of 100000 starv-
ing tobacco and sugar cane growers
will have to pay all "that the traf-
fic can bear" for many decades be-
fore they will make any dent in the
loan outstanding to the middle
western house of Morgan financiers.
There is growing opposition to
the acceptance of the terms of the
Dawes budget plan, not only from
the masses of toilers, but even
from the former supporters of Vas
quez who realize that even those
small crumbs which they have up
till now received will be taken away.
Propaganda has already been be-
gun by the Dawes Commission to
defend Vasquez by intervention
when the peasants rise against him..

Crew of Ten Rescued
After Adrift 10 Days;
One Dead of Exposure

Ten shipwrecked men who were
tossed about helplessly in the At
lantic for nine days were safe
aboard the yacht Amida last night,
and on the way back to port after
an almost miraculous rescue.
With them was the body of an
eleventh, who was unable to live
through the storms and gales of the
past week. He died of exposure
just as help was in sight.
The rescued men were the crew
of the American schooner James E..
Coburn, a four-masted vessel of 1913
tons, which foundered and sank $50
miles north of Bermuda, April T.,
while sailing from Baltimore for
Fort de France, in Martinique.
Caught in a furiously churning
sea, the vessel was abandoned, the
crew taking to one life boat at the
Command of Captain Jose j. Per-
reira.
At first they tried rowing towards
land, but they were helpless against
the gigantic waves, and finally gave
UP all efforts to save themselves,
realizing that their only chance lay
in the possibility they would be
sighted by passing ship.
After drifting several days the
water gave out. Then W. Sargent,
of Baltimore, the cook on the found
cred schooner, succumbed to ex-
posture. The yacht Amida probably
rescued the ten others just in time
to save all from perishing. ~

The Labor Athlete
BY SOL FISHER.

The revolutionary working class
of Europe has long realized that one
Of the best means of organizing the
working youth is through sports ac-
Invites. The result is. that in many
European countries we find power
full labor sports organizations with
tens of thousands of members. The
worker athletes are the fighting
vanguard of the labor movement
and are always ready to defend the
labor organizations from attack of
fascist reactionary gangs.
Here in America the labor sports
movement is still in its infancy. AL
though it is being rapidly developed,
the great masses of the young work
ers are still entangled in thu paws
Of the bourgeois and bosses sports
organizations, where they are
taught to serve capitalism and are
trained for the coming imperialist
war. Unfortunately many of the
active militant workers have as yet
failed to see the Importance of our
work. The radical press does little
to propagate labor sports.
How can the labor sports move
ment gain recognition and more
support of the left wing movement
and its press? Simply by proving
that we are part Of the labor
movement, that kicking of ball is
not our main object. We must in
deed show that our aim is to or
ganize the young workers, to edu-
cate and develop them physically
and mentally SO that they are fit
to fight for their own class. And
to convince the militant labor move
ment that we are sincere in our
aims, we must take part in the
everyday struggle of the workers
We must be with them on the picket
lines, march in the front line of la
Dor demonstrations, guard the lives
Of our labor leaders from gangsters,
hired by the bosses and their lack
eys, protect labor meetings from the
attacks of thugs and hold mass
sports exhibitions at working class
gatherings.
With the active support and CO.
operation of the militant labor
we will succeed in build
ing up an army of worker athletes
that will be pride, the living spirit
of the Red Guard of the working
class.

FENC TRIES TO
RIDE WAVE or
RACE At CHANG
Marking War Lords.
Men Deserving

PEKING, China, April 25.-Mem-
bers of the diplomatic corps have
unanimously agreed to cancel the
1919 agreement prohibiting the eX-
porting of arms and munitions to
China. The cancellation will be eff
fective Friday, it was officially an
nounced today, and will assist Chi
ang in his fight against Commun-
ism, also against his rivals Feng
and the Wuhan armies.
TSING-TAO, April 25.-Chiang
Kai-shek continues to close face"
even with his staunchest supporters,
because of his inability to hold the
Kuomintang together. The latest
deserter from his camp is General
Fang Chen-wu, formerly dictator in
the Picking area, who was sent by
Chang Kai-shek with 100000 men to
guard the Shantung area against
possible attempts of Feng Yu-
hsiang. AS soon as he was safely
entrenched in this new area he sent
a message to Feng offering support
against the Marking clique.
These generals, in the best tradi-
tons of the war lords, are trying to
ride with Feng the popular wave Of
discomfort with Chang and the
Marking clique which has steadily
risen since Chiang's war on the Left
elements after the seizure of Shang-
hal by the Northern expedition. The
dissatisfaction is being intensified
by Chiang's turn to Toxic for help
in his internal struggle for power.
Feng has not openly begun war
on Chang only for the reason that
h. knows that Marking is losing
strength daily and is waiting for a
better moment to strike.

Upon the direct insistence of Glib

Cardenas said.
The rebel retreat from Masiaca,
where the insurgent forces had in
trenched and were expected to make
a definite stand, began last night
and the federal troops entered the
town this morning, Cardenas added.
1t is estimated that half the

Federal planes attacked rebels at

Zone can see that he has under

printer, "since he comes with his

illegal trading; and what type of
muzhik, at that? The poorest class"
"That's not the point. That comes
from need and not from the soul.
In his soul he is with us; in the

in this respect, the report reveals.
Adulterated commercial feed-stuffs
were sold TO farmers with the COM
missioner's knowledge. Feed oats
were sold as seed oats. Other grains
were sold to planters for seed-sow-
ing though they have been dried by
steam heat and had thereby lost
their terminating properties.
Women workers in stores are also
at the mercy of labor law violators,
the report shows. "The two field in
spectors who inspect cotton mills are
also required to inspect the stores.
The inspectors are too busy in try
ing to inspect the cotton mills to
have the proper time to learn
whether or not ladies are being
forced to work later than 10 o'clock
at night, and to see to it that the
stores have ample seating capacity
or the number of seats required by
law"
Always Ready to Excuse"
Only in one respect has the COM
missioner been "active and watch
full" the Investigators conclude. HE
has been always ready to suppress
and excuse practically every viola
ton of the labor laws, to ignore all
discrepancies as to weights and
measures, to pass over all violations
of the Pure Laws upon the mere
collection of the inspection fee, and
to re-allot the salaries of those
working in his department in utter
disregard of the appropriation bill. :"
This revelation of state violat-
ing even the weakest and most in
adequate labor laws makes more
than ever clear to workers that no
state legislation under capitalism
can take the place Of a strong, mill
tant, revolutionary union in demand
ing and securing better conditions.

Southern Politicians Admit
Violation Of Labor" LaWs

GREENVILLE, S. C. (L.R.A.)
(By MaiD.-What workers have
long known and declared-that state
labor laws are continually violated
while the bosses responsible for the
violation get off scott free-is now
revealed even by a state legislative
committee.
Violations Of the South Carolina
labor law in at least 76 of the states
232 textile mills are reported by a
special committee investigating for
the house Of representatives. In
more than two years only mills
have been prosecuted for violations
and the highest fine was only $50,
paid by the Ware Shoals Mfg. Co.,
in 1927.
Found guilty. Excused" reads
the record opposite the names of
many mills reported as employing
children under age, running over
time, or keeping toilets "in bad con-
dition." This cautious description
CT toilets which are disgustingly
filthy and disease-carrying is typical
Of state reports, but workers know
what these mild words mean in re-
ality.
Over Ten Hours Daily.
Running overtime" means, of
course, running more than the 60
hours week allowed for both men
and women workers in textile mills.
A 10-hour day, 55-hour week law
for South Carolina textile factories
really allows 60 hours week if
permission is secured from the state
commissioner.
With only two field inspectors for
232 mills, no one factory can be in
spected and investigated more than
8 times year, the legislative COM
r1ittee declared. "The textile cor
poration can, with some degree of
certainty, calculate almost the ex-
act day on which the Inspector will
arrive at its plant. The laws can
be observed on the day when the
inspector is present, and for four
months thereafter the laws can be
disregarded without being detected,
under the present system"
Courts Don't Help.
"At most of the factories where
strikes have occurred there have
been fragrant violations of the labor
laws that have not been brought to
any court for redress, in fact have
rot been brought any further than
to the attention of The commits
sioner." The Ware Shoals Mfg. Co.
at Ware Shoals, where workers won
a strike last month against the
spced-up minute SYSTEM" is
typical example of a mill violating
