k4oge to t.Ie stockholders Of t4ist COM
pany than they have at present.
1.-THE Washington Railway 81 Electric
Co. Is in q somewhat different situa-
ton. Presumably 1t will hold all Of the
common stock of the new company,
and consequently will be directly
affected by any consideration which
affects the earnings after payment OF
expenses, interest and dividends on the
preferred stock. Obviously it IS the
party that would gain primarily by the
inclusion of a rate base of $50, 000, 900
in the agreement. However. the Ques-
ton nov before lis lis not whether 1t
would be better for the Washington
Railway g. Electric Co. TO have the
agreement stand as 1t is, but whether
the Washington Railway g. Electric Co.
can afford to withdraw from the mer-
ger unless the agreement contains the
proposed rate base section.
ITO answer this question, one must
first consider what the position of the
Washington Railway system will be II
the present conditions continue. II
has been pointed out repeatedly that
the Washington Railways have no rate
base adjucated by the courts and that
the only thing which has been estab-
lished is the value OF the property
found by the commission as Of July
|, 1919, based upon an inventory as
of June 80. 1914. The company insists
this valuation was unfair and unrea-
Sonable as of 1919. 1t has also been
pointed out that if the commission
would refuse to determine reasonable
fare for the unified company without
a new valuation, 1t would of necessity
take the same position regarding the
Washington Railways If the companies
were not unified, and that fares on the
two systems operated separately would
naturally await new valuation OF the
Washington railways.
Hence the Washington Railway g.
Electric Co. could hope to gain by the
continuance of separate operation only
on the assumption that the net income
which 1t would derive from the opera
ton of its own system would be equal
to or greater than the amount remain
ing from the unified system after
operating expenses. interest and 6iyi-
dends on the preferred stock had been
paid"
Or, Maltbie said that. assuming
a $3.50 900 deficiency which he said is
anout twice the deficiency of 1927.
there would remain 100000 as q gain
for the Washington Railway q Electric
Co as q result of the unifleation.

Opposition Is Expected to
Plea for More Aid in En-

BY tire Associated Press.
OTTAWA. January Increased as
Sistsnce of Canada in enforcing the
Voistead act will be asked by repre-
sentatives of the United States at
conference opening tomorrow. The
general purpose of the conference Is
discussion of means of preventing
smuggling.
The situation along the border Will
be csnysssed. The United States re-
quests that Canada refuse clearance to
boats vehicles or other carriers having
on board liquor or any commodity
which is prohibited entry under United
States regulations.
Opposition Expected.
Anv proposal OF this nature probs bly,
will bring forth strong opposition. II
is generally accepted that action along
those lines would require an amend
ment to the Canada United States anti
smuggling treaty of 1924, and the Do
minion Parliament would not likely
agree to such an amendment without
prolonged debate Again, there sre
those who feel that acouiescence on
the part of The Dominion 10 a request
of this character would produce r seri-
olls detriment TO Canads's export trade.
Furthermore The legal question arises
az to the right Of the Dominion gov
eminent TO prohibit export.
II Is intlmated that request NAV
oe made 70 Canada for a provision In
the anti-smuggling treaty for the ex-
trad t4 "a TTr1if or
Canada of persons guilty of offenSes
against the customs laws Of either
country. The feeling in certain circles
is that such step might meet with
public dlsapproval as being too drastic.
Canada likely will have counter
requests TO make al the conference.
Silks. cigarettes and variety of
other American commodities have been
surreptitiously finding their way to this
country without payment of customs
duties from time to time. The amounts
Of these Snluggied goods are somewhat
large, despite the watchful eye of Cana
dian customs officials and recent enact
ment by Parliament OF heavy penalties
for such offenses.

This is about conditions in the
Standard Bleachery, which is sit
uated in Carlton Hill, one of the
suburbs of Passaic. On one side we
have the Erie r. R., and on the
other the swamps.
The dyeing department is divided
into two parts, the fast dye and the
fancy. The fast dye is where we
dye the silks and the fancy dye is
where we dye the light shades of
cotton goods. The pay is very low,
men running a pad get so cents an
hour and the helpers get So 1-2 cents
an hour.
Dye Powder Flies Around.
The workers have to get their
colors in the color shop, where the
color which is in powder form flies
around and gets on to clothes and
in the nose. The water mangle is
another job that requires man to
be of Herculean strength. When
the goods come from the dye houses
and bleach houses, they are washed
in the water mangles to free them
from loose dye and acids. These
rolls are of an average weight
weighing from 600 to 800 lbs, and
two men are required to lift these
onto. the machines. In other fac
tories of this kind we have hoist
to- lift these rolls, but not in the
Standard Bleachery. This causes
many of the workers to become rup-
ured.
-- Ten Hours Work.
Some of the departments do not
ave any regular time for dinner.
fhis means that they work at least
zen hours. There is no drinking
water in the plant, and when a
worker is thirsty he must go with
pals for it outside the mill. The
enforced overtime without extra
compensation is done almost every
night in order to rush thru the
goods on contract time, which means
that some of the men have to work
all night and thru the next day
without any rest, and with the same
pay. If you refuse they will get
rid Of you in one way or another.
There is only one remedy for bet
tering these conditions and that is
by organizing ourselves into a
union. All the workers should join
it. This union is the National Tex
tile Workers Union of America.

JERUSALEM, Palestine, Jan. 90.
the refusal of Palestine
railroads to recognize the union of
railroad workers, the workers are
continuing to strengthen their or
ganization, demanding better work
ing conditions and higher wages.
The reformist leaders of the union,
instead of calling strike to enforce
recognition and the granting of the
workers demands, have sent a pro-
test thru the International Trans
port Workers Federation to the
British government, which rules
Palestine with an iron hand and sup
presses militant workers movements.
Wages vary between rs cents and
SITE a day, compared with s1.25 to
S1.50 paid in industry to unskilled
workers and about 81 to skilled
workers. Although the nominal work
ing day is eight hours the men are
often forced to work overtime. Be-
sides, numerous fines are imposed
for petty reasons and no appeal is
possible. There is no provision for
incapacitated workers and sanitary
conditions are abominable. The COM
panies fire workers frequently for
no reason but that they are active
in the organization Of the union.
Although the British government
received the protest about month
ago, it has not even acknowledged
it and it seems that it will pay no
attention to it.

employers" Emphasizing this fact,
Reeve cited the arrest of 662 New
Bedford textile strikers, the Cam

were arrested, the Fall River tex
tile strike, and the arrest of Com
munists in Taunton, Mass, during
the election campaign.
To Reopen Case.
"What significance has the Can

zetti murder?" Reeve was asked.
cit entirely re-opens the whole
Sacco-Vanzetti case. The /. l.. D.
will call many witnesses who were
not allowed to testifyin the trial of
Sacco and Vanzetti, and by present
ing their testimony before the jury.
by testimony which was never al
lowed in the first five years of the
case, Cantor will prove that Fuller
is a murderer"
The I. L. D. will in the near fu-
ture issue a pamphlet dealing with
the case, and with new evidence
which came to hand in the Sacco-
Vanzetti trial. In addition, the
Boston section of the l. L. D. is
issuing a special leaflet bearing the
title Governor Fuller is the Muir
derer of Sacco and Vanzetti" which
will be broadcasted through Massa-
chusetts.
Funds Needed.
eve are hiring such prominent
lawyers as Arthur Garfield Hays to
take up the case, and perhaps Clar-
ence Darrow. Funds will be need
ed, and the national office of the

contribute toward the defense, and
to send all donations to Room 402,
