ROCHESTER, N. Y. (By MaiD D..
At meeting held recently by the
beard of directors of the Eastman
Kodak Company it was announced
that the net earnings of the COM
pany for the year 1928 were $780,
100000, a sum approximately $751;
coo less than that of 1927, which
vas the banner year in the COM
pany's history. The company en-
oioyed several hundred less workers
during 1928 than it did the previous
year, these workers having been
fired as a result of the efficiency
system which prevails in the Kodak
factories.
Exploitation Increases.
Nor is the end yet in sight AL
most daily machines are being in
stalled by means of which it is pos
sible for fewer workers to do more
work than was formerly done. Some
departments have been enabled, by
means of new machinery and the
Pedaux Point System, which pre-
1ails here. to cut their working
forces by half or more and still keep
up their former production.
One machine in particular, an
automatic spooling machine, can,
with the assistance of three work
crs, do the same amount of work
that formerly required twelve to
fifteen workers to do. At the time
# this writing the Eastman Com
many is advertising extensively for
skilled mechanics, machinistS and
instrument makers, to build more
Of these labor-saving machines which
in turn will throw many more work
ers out of jobs.
Wages Being Slashed.
While production is on the in
crease, wages are being slashed
right and left. In one department
this wage slashing policy was par
ticularly pronounced.
The men of the buffing and pol
ishing room of the Camera Works,
by sen1blance of an organization,
had been able for a while to COM
mand fairly respectable wage.
When the bosses saw a chance they
announced that wages would be cut
III some instances nearly so per
cent. All of those who even mildly
protested against this cut, some of
them men of twenty years anc more
service with the company, were
ruthlessly fired from their jobs.
Another example of wage cutting
by the company is the reduction by
one-third of the annual wage divi-
dend. Without consulting the work
ers the company foisted upon them
a fraudulent insurance scheme, for
which the workers are compelled to
pay to the tune of one-third Of their
dividend.
Shop Paper Fights.
These actions Of the company do
not pass unchallenged, however.
The nucleus of the Communist
Party is on the job. Every month,
with few exceptions, there appears
the fighting shop paper of workers,
"The Kodak Worker" In it, the
slave-drivirg and wage-slashing of
the bosses is mercilessly denounced.
It calls upon the workers to re-
sist the increased exploitation of the
company and build a Kodak Work
crs Union that will win better con-
ditions for them and safeguard
their interests in the future.

numbers of molecules. The number OF

Avagadro's number. There are 6.O62,

years after his time that the fun mean
ing of his discovery was realized, but
its effect on chemistry has been pro
found. It is the foundation OF the
whole structure. Even chemical science
is largely built on the work OF an
Italian.
In medicine the name of Eustacio

lopius another great italian physician,
Is remembered for his work on the dis
covery of the functions OF some OF the
female organs. The fallopian tubes
first accurately described them.
Marconi Developed Wireless.
One must not overlook the work Of
the Italian engineer Marconi. He put
into practical form the wireless APP
paratus of Hertz. Much of his original
eouipment is to be seen at the science
exposition. His achievements are so
well known as to need only to be men
toned.
Among other notable things to be
seen at the exposition is the worlds
first motor cycle, invented in 1885 by
Enrico Bernardo, when even the bicycle
itself was in its infancy. The worlds
first internal combustion engine in
vented by Eugenio Barsanti, Is also on
exhibition.
Invented Automatic Telephone.
There are also to be seen the ap-
paratus of Father Sacchi, a pioneer in
the study Of sun spots; Of Right, noted
for his early work on ctro-magnetic
waves, and the first central automatic
telephone system invented by Marzi In
1886. The first apparatus constructed
by Calico Forraris for the study Of ro-
tating magnetic fields is likewise on ex-
hibition. The apparatus of Antonio
Pacinetti, credited by some with the in
vention Of the dynamo, occupies a
prominent place in the exhibit
1t Is evident that Italy holds a high
place in the world of science and Of In
vention. The present exposition shows
a justifiable pride In her achievements
and will undoubtedly stimulate the
younger minds of Italy to like en-
beavers 1t is hoped that this first
national exposition may be followed by
many others and that each may mark
some great italian achievement. This
expedition looks into the future as
much N 1t glorifies the past.
