SURVEY SEEKS.
NURSE GUT

NEW, YORK, March 22.-Decisive
and immediate reduction In the mum.
ber of students admitted to schools
of nursing in the United States and
the raising of entrance requirements
high enough so that only properly
qualified women will be admitted to
the profession are urged as the first
steps of preventing the further clog
ging of an already much overcrowd'
ed field in a report filed with the
department of health.
The survey made by DIR. May
Ayres Burgess. points out that in
1923 close to 10000 new nurses were
graduated, despite the fact that last
year the earnings Of the average
graduate nurse in New York, as well
as elsewhere, slumped to between
81, 100 and $1,000.
"There Is no disputing the fact"
said Health Commissioner Wynne,
"that under the present system there
are too many nurses, and the report
of DIR. Burgess gives not only the
exact idea of the conditions here, but
elsewhere as well. There will have
to be. radical changes in nurses
training school methods II the prob
lem is to be solved.
Long Hours DeplOred
Under the present system student
nurses are permitted to work on the
floors. This should not be unless
they are under supervision of a grad
uate nurse. Another deplorable fea.
ture is that these student nurses are
;1rl~k a
and then have to study six hours at
night. Fourteen hours day work
will not produce the right kind of
nurses.'.
DIR. Ayers in her report recon-
mends that the major part of hos
pital bedside nursing be in the
hands of graduate nurses and taken
out of the hands of student nurses
3. Nine to Each Doctor
"In 1900 there were 80 nurses to
every 1000 physicians" she says,
while in 1910 there were 545 and
in 1920 there were 1929. AT the
present time there are probably
1880 nurses to very 1000 physi"
clans, and if the present trend con.
tinues there will be in 1865 nine
nurses to every physician in the
United States
SHOULD the changes suggested by
DR.. Burgess be adopted said Com.
missioner Wynne, "a considerable
number Of hospitals conducting an
Indifferent type of training school
would find themselves facing diff
cult financial problems in order to
replace most of their student nurses
by graduate nurses at 500 month
and maintenance. The hospitals
giving an adequate nurses training
now find that the cost of maintain
ing such a school is practically as
great az the sum required for
graduate service.

Hoover Keeps Silent on
the Farm Swindle Bill
Fearing Responsibility

WASHINGTON, March 27.-The
house agricultural committee de-
cided at the outset of its farm ire
lief" hearings today to abandon the
plan of appointing a subcommittee
to call at the White House to seek
an agricultural program from Presi-
dent Hoover.
Representative Aswell, democrat,
Louisiana, who called at the White
House yesterday, told the commit
tee Mr.. Hoover has no more def
mite program than the one laid
down in his campaign speeches and
that he would prefer to be more
specific at this time.
Thus ends the attempt of few
members of congress to get the
chief executive to indicate publicly
the bill, certain to be unpopular,
for farm relief" During the cleo
ton campaign promises were made
to the farmers, which Wall Street
now rules must be broken, in the
most diplomatic way possible, and
neither the. president nor the agri-
cultural committee seems eager to
take up the official defense of the
swindling measure that will be
drawn.

TO HOLD parade
Vienna Workers Force
Postponement

VIENNA, (By MaiD-The "Rote
Fahne," official organ of the Aus
trian Communist Party, reports
that the fascists intend to organize
a parade on May Is through the
workers quarters in the Ottakring
in Vienna. 1t was first proposed to
hold a parade on the streets in the
workers quarters on the first of
May, but the wave of furious in
dignation amongst the workers when
this plan became known caused the
fascists to think better Of the mat
ter and to postpone their parade for
couple of weeks.
The parade in the Ottakring is to
be an organized continuation of the
parade on February "a in the work
ers' quarters in Meidling. The aim
of the fascists is to Conquer
Vienna" though their last expert
ence ought to have shown them
that this is rather more than they
can do.
The Communist Party of Austria
has issued an appeal calling for an
intensification of the anti-fascist
campaign and for mass participa-
ton in the Communist anti-fascist
march on March 10.

Men Warned Against
Carboni, Spy
By a Worker Correspondent.

Dy W OFh6T correspondents.
BENTLEYVILLE, Pa, (By Mail).
Workers of Massachusetts,, be on
the lookout. Louis Carboni, MUIR
derer, stool-pigeon, and traitor
against the mine workers is moving
to Massachusetts,, town or city I'M
known.
Carboni murdered in cold blood
George Moran, a delegate to the Ma
tional Miners Union Convention and
teacher of the young Pioneers of
Bentleyville.
After he killed Moran, and
wounded Charles and Theodore Clio
yak, he was found not guilty by the
bosses court and jury, and turned
loose by the corrupt officials of
Washington County, Penn. He never
had the courage to come back to
Bentleyville after that. He moved
away to the county seat in order
to be well protected by the officials.
Carboni pretended to be a "pro-
gressive" leader until the conflict
came around and he showed his true
colors as a tool of John L. Lewis
and Pagan. The rank and filters
saw what kind of traitor he was,
and they soon repudiated him and
made him resign his position as To-
cal chairman.
The only way he could hold this
position was thru continuously
threatening the lives of the militants
who opposed him.
He fled after the murder and for
almost week kept in hiding until
he was assured that nothing would
be done to him if he gave himself
up to the authorities.
Surely enough, they found him
not guilty, because he had done just
what he had been told to do.
Carboni was and is the worst sort
of labor spy. He first tries to get
the confidence of the men to be able
to do to them what he is told by
his boss to do. Many a time during
the strike of the miners he wanted
some of the local leaders to blow
up bridges or mine tipples so that
they would be arrested while the
act was being done and sent to jail
for life.
So, workers of Massachusetts,
watch out so that .nis spy will not
be able to do the same dirty work
he did in Bentleyville.
He is dark complicated, cannot
speak well, being hard to under
stand, due to a bullet wound he re-
ceived in the mouth; is Italian by
birth, and never seems to be short
of money.-COAL MINER.

Negro Girls Walk Out
in Bayuk Plant

BIZ Worker Correspondent.
PHILADELPHIA, (By Mai).-
Over 100 Negro girl cigar workers
employed at the largest cigar fac
tory in the world, Bayuk Bros,
Ninth and Columbia Streets, walked
out last week on strike against the
rotten conditions they had to slave
under.
The miserable rate they were
given by the bosses of Bayuk Bros.
was 25 cents for stripping II IL
pounds of tobacco, and even then the
scales have been tempered with by
the millionaire Bayuk Co., in order
to cheat the girls out Of wages, SO
that they actually had to strip %
pounds for a miserable 25 cents.
Some of the girls at the end of
the week found only $3.50 or $4 in
their pay envelopes, and the high
est made by girl was 81 a week.
The average for a weeks wages is
$3.50.
The girls walked out when the
bosses refused to grant an increase
OF 10 cents in the rates. They walk
ed out without one girl remaining
behind.
Up to now, the cigarmakers union
officials did not take any interest at
all in organizing the girls. When
the girls struck, they actually had
to go themselves to the cigarmakers'
union officers, to be organized!
But they were determined to be
organized, and they are not the kind
to let any union officials put any,
thing over on them.

EXPOSE SPY
in CALIFORNIA
COTTON MILL
Workers Soon Get Wise
to Stool Pigeon
By a Worker Correspondent.

By q Worker Correspondent.
OAKLAND, Calf, (By MaiD.-
The California Cotton Mill at Oak
land, has answered the organization
al campaign that has been carried
on for the past five months, with a
vicious spy system, and workers
have been laid off for alleged par
ticipation in the organization cam
paign.
The Nucleus in the mill has car
ried on campaign of education and
organization by publishing the
California Cotton Mill Bulletin"
The sixth edition was distributed on
March 18th and was an expose of
the spy that has been active in the
mill.
Expose Spy.
This spy was supposed to Lc a
Beaudeau System inspector and
walked through the mill talking to
the workers and expressing his dis
like for the Beaudeau System and
the low wages, in hopes he could
find out for Miller, the owner, what
workers were getting out the Bulle-
tin. But he was such a crude sap
that the workers soon got wise to
him, and he was unable to get any
data on the comrades in the mill.
Spy Tries to Join Party.
This same skunk put in an ap-
plication to join the Communist
Party along with a woman spy, but
they were turned down and have
not been around headquarters since.
If he does show up he will be given
a proper welcome.
The work of organizing the mill
workers will go on. Nothing can
stop our work in the mill. The Beau
deau System and the low wages are
forcing the workers to think organi-
cation, and the future will see a To-
cal of the National Textile Workers
Union in Oakland. Many of the
workers are Portuguese and the pa
per, "a Vanguarda," is being dis
tributed at the mill.
The A. F. of L. is making no at
tempt to organize the mill workers,
and take no notice of the conditions
and wages these workers are facing.
1t is our duty to build Left wing
unions, and the comrades in Oakland
are taking every advantage of the
situation in the California mill.
