Poems Wage Too
Small Fer Living

MEXICO CITY. Aug. 3l-tF-
Publication Of the industrial survey
made by the Department Of Indus
try, Commerce and Labor. showed
that the daily average wage Of poems
in more than 400 sections of the
country ranged from Il to IS cents
in American money.
Furthermore. the report showed
that about IS per cent Of the labor
ing class vas required to toll be-
You'd the legal limit Of working
hours daily and that it was those
who worked longest that received
the least.
The Investigators report stated
fatty that the small pay given to
workers was insufficient for bare
living under present conditions in
Mexico. even though food which the
poems eat is usually cheap.
Labor conditions were found to be
worst in the mountainous mining
regions and in some isolated agri-
cultural sections. In the somewhat
more advanced industrial sections II
was revealed that workers received
slightly more pay. though barely
enough for existence

on $4,000 bonds each.
1t is obvious that the bosses here
realize that the present situation in
the coal mining fields of Illinois,
where over $4,000 miners are being
rapidly awakened by the falling out
and orgy of truth telling against
each other, of the Lewis and FISH
wick cliques, has opened the way for
active militant unionism, with the
Communist organizers taking an ac-
tive part.
The unrest spreading through the
steel worker population south of
Chicago and in nearby Gary. the
interest shown by the Chicago pack
ing house wworkers in the Commu-
mist speakers, and in revolutionary
labor unionism, has frightened the
masters of industry here.
Their attempt to smother this
agitation and rising tide of mill
fancy has been to issue a general
order to capture and Jail those they
believe to be the chief opponents of
anti-capitalist theory and tactics in
Chicago, the leaders of the Commu-
mist movement.
The arrested workers in Chicago
think they will not succeed. But
there is grave danger of a general
drive to destroy the legality of the
Communist Party, and of all revolu-
tionary labor organization.

Fellow Their Master.
The sub-district officials in
Franklin county were appointed by
Lewis some time ago, and allowed
to take office by the district admin
istration. The president there is
John T. Jones, Lewis hireling,
appointed now to be the provisional
secretary of Illinois district.
In Peoria, Joseph Goett, president,
was picked by Lewis as provisional
vice president of District IL (Illi-
nois).
Miners Own Union.
The National Miners Union con-
vention will probably be in south
ern Illinois, district officials of the
union stated today. They pointed
out that this will be the miners
real chance to have something to
say about their own failure, which
both Lewis and Fishwici regard as
merely "dues-paying cattle" for
their respective graft funds. The
U. M. U. is campaigning for all
miners to refuse to pay dues to
either Jewish or Fishwick, for a
sharp fight on the looting check-off
system, and a mass denunciation of
the U. M. W. A. fraud, and mass
entry into the N. M. U. for strug-
gle all along the line against the
coal operators for division of labor
among the miners without discrim-
ination against those belonging to
the militant union, and to compel
the operators to care for the men
they have forced into unemploy-
ment through introduction of coal
cutting and loading machinery; and
by speed-up tactics.

terced to death by the Chinese courts
and one Chinese soldier also doomed

ers seized when the Chinese raided
the Soviet consulate at Hardin in
July and seized the Chinese Eastern
Railway. Many others are sentenced

The receiving of foodstuffs or cor

German consul sent three lorry loads
of food, but the food was confiscated
and the lorry drivers arrested. A
second lot was sent, but also seized.
Dysentery is raging among the
prisoners, who are even compelled
to give up having relatives visit
them, because Chinese citizens fence
them off at sue hdistances as makes
visits a mockery.
Meanwhile, the Chinese allow
agents to exploit the anxioty of

ers approaching them with offers to
secure delivery of food parcels to
prisoners at prices prohibitive to

VIM. FaUeHsham Returns IN
Light Comedy at L0ngacye

A frothy comedy, that often borders
"a on farce, has arrived at the Long
acre Theatre. 1t is titled Her Friend
the King" and has with it William
Faversham in the leading role, A. E.
Thomas, veteran playwright and the
late Harrison Rhodes are the au-
thors.
The play concerns royal emgrei's
living in Switzerland and their plot
ting to return to power.
The comedy has many witty lines,
but to sit through three acs of it is
asking too much. Then again the
play is royalist propaganda, bank
ing interests represented by the Nc
Kinley Trust Co. of New York, fl
nanced the kingdom before Georges
was deposed. Only in these few brief
remarks is the role of American i'm
perialism touched upon.
There is no need to go into fur
Their details about the rest Of the
play. 1t is not as important as tina.
1t is a play that at no time seems
logical.
Its redeenling point being the ex-
cellent acting. AS Georges, Mr..
Faversham shows that he has not
forgotten to act effectively. Kath-
crime Kohler is pretty to look at as
the Princess, while Ara Gerald is I'M
usually fine as Mrs. Hastings. Hugh
Sinclair is rather awkward in the
first act, but improves before the
pla yends. Others in the cast in
clude Daisy Atherton and Henry
Morrell.

capitalist press all the things he is
going to do to Fishwick and his
gang, just as soon as the Fishwick
injunction is vacated. His charges
of graft and fraud in Illinois by the
Fishwick crowd are detailed and
enthusiastic.
On the other hand, Fishwick,
president of District II (Illinois)
and Walter Nesbit, District IL sec
rotary, have wired William Green,
president of the A. F. L., and John
Walker, president of the Illinois
Federation Of Labor, and an A. F.
L. delegate, hurting back the charge
of graft, and offering to resign
peacefully if an investigation of
Lewis books by competent auditors
does not show enormous swindles.
Know Each Other.
Each of :hese groups of mislead-
ers knows a let about the other, as

National Miners Union they were
working hand in hand against the
left wing membership of the U. N.

and selling out the strike of 1927

There is apparently little likeli-
hood of the A. F. L. convention or
