Finnish DOckers Get
Wage Raises After
Ten Months Strike

STOCKHOLM, April 30 (By
MaiD.-The bitter strike of the
lockers in Finland which has been
going on for ten months has now
been settled by the intervention Of
the labor minister. According to
the agreement made with the Off
cial, wages in three harbors are to
be increased by 1875 per cent, in
eleven other harbors by 20 per cent,
in two other harbors including the
capital by % per cent and for all
other harbors by Is per cent. The
minimum wage demanded by the
workers has also been granted. For
piece work an hourly minimum
wage has been fixed. For loading
and unloading dangerous loads like
sulphur, cement, Goals, ETC., the
bonus of one Finnish mark per hour
will be paid. The result represents
a great victory for the Finnish trade
unions and for the success of ener-
getic struggle as against compro-
mise.

ARMS MEET AGAIN
EXPOSED BY USSR
Latin America Gov'ts
Play Puppets for us.

GENEVA, April 30.-The Pre-
paratory Disarmament Commission,
with support of the American dele
cation, after having it's hand forced
by Maxim Litvinov, representative
of the Soviet Union, evaded accept
ing the phrase used in Hugh S.
Gibson's speech last week where he
spoke of drastic reduction" The
commission substituted instead the
word "limitation," leaving the way
open for further development of
ornaments along the major modern
lines, such as air forces, trained re-
serves, certain types of navies, etc.
Also against the votes Of China,
the U. S. S. R., and Germany it de-
cided to exclude any proposals for
limiting detectives available with
out mobilization" Under this head
are included soldiers who are on
leave, but who are not in reserves.
The puppet American imperialist
governments of Latin-America were
used as mouthpieces by the Amer
lean delegation to fight for its
proposals.
The activities of the conference
have been largely confined thus far
to excluding any proposals which
would arouse demand for effective
reduction of those ornaments which
are of major consequence in imper-
ialist war.

.L.ABORITES ASK
ACTION WITH u. S.
Pamphlet Leaves Room
for Attack on USSR

LONDON, April 3O.-In an cleo
ton campaign pamphlet issued yes
terday the British labor party
adopts the slogan freedom of the
seas" 1t declares against private
war and private blockade, but says
that these are mainly Anglo-Amer-
lean problems.
The labor party fails to make ex-
cuses for the navalism and chal-
longing, imperialistic attitude of
Ramsay Mcdonald, its premier,
when it formed the government. The
labor party governments crushing
of Indian independence movements,
and tax revolts with bombs from
airplanes, and its aggressive for
eign policy, backed up by warships
despatched to Egypt, China and the
near East, is not considered in the
pamphlet.
The pamphlet suggests that any
attempt of the British to use for
their own ends, to the exclusion of
the United States, the weapons of
war and blockade would be met
with serious resistance from Amer
lea. 1t warns that the powerful
American naval forces could make
a private British blockade ineffec-
tive and suggests joint action of the
powers in such enterprise.
1t is not likely that the failure to
mention the use tf these imperialist
weapons against the U. S. S. s, is
accidental. The formulation clearly
makes room for new attacks on the
Soviet Union.
The slogan of freedom of the
seas" was originally raised By
Woodrow Wilson as one of the four
teen points.
Ramsey Macdonald writes fore
word to the pamphlet.

to re-admit local 43 or the other
expelled members as long as they
continue to maintain the platform
which led to their expulsion. The
absolutely uncompromising unanim-
ously adopted demands of local 43
as expressed in the election of dele
gates who stand pledged to fight
for the same principles which the
local proclaimed before the illegal
expulsion are as follows:
Workers Demands.
1. Reinstatement Of local 43 and
all militant workers.
2. Organization of the unoygan-
lied cap and millinery workers.
3. For the maintenance of the
week system.
a. Forty hour week.
5. For the Shop Delegate Sys-
tenn.
6. For unity of all cap and mil
linery workers with the needle
trades union.
Both the industrial educational
activities of the local and actual
barricade fighting has won the I'M
animous support of local 43's men,
bership for the sixth of its demands;
For Unity of all cap and millinery
workers with the new Needle Trades
Workers Industrial Union. Stopping
at nothing the Zaritzky machine is
making few frantic last minute
efforts, before the convention, to in
timidate local AZ members. If by its
armed attack on the downtown office

of several girls and having 10 of
them arrested; if by raiding the Of

"a hopes to twin" the support Of
working women at present members
Of local 43, they have only succeeded
in exposing themselves all the more
as servants of the capitalists. Local

cry workers to loath right wingers
and to fight them as allies Of the
bosses.

administration was determined

ship and its policies, the General
Executive Board expelled the local.
This was in absolute violation of the
lnternational's constitution.
Became Class Conscious.
Far from bullying local AZ or
other expelled members into accept
ing the reactionary policies of the
InternationaPs leadership or de-
stroying the local, the net result has
been growing class consciousness on
the part of these workers and an
even clearer understanding of the
traitorous role being played by the
Zaritzky administration. The strug-
gle has taught thousands of women
workers belonging to local 43, what
the differences are between right
and left wing leadership.
Their increased class consciousness
is causing them to fight for their
principles and demands with even
greater determination. That this is
so can be seen from the marked in
terest and great activity of the
whole membership in the discussion
of the locals platform in connection
with the convention and election of
delegates to it. Delegates are be-
ing elected as the local does n,
recognize its expulsion by the G. E.
B. and is appealing that action to
the national convention.
Have No Illusions.
However, the membership of local
AZ, has no illusions as to the posi-
bility Of being reinstated. This
could clearly be seen from the
nature of the many speeches made
by rank and file members at the
general membership meeting held
early in April when the policy of the
delegates later to be elected by
referendum vote was discussed. 1t
is as clear as day that the Zaritzky
controlled convention is not going

Awkward Question for
Warder at Bankruptcy
Hearing of Lancia Co.

Frank H. Warder, till recently
state banking superintendent, is ex-
pected to appear today at the bank
1uptcy hearing before Federal Ref
cree Henry X. Davis. Warder, at
the request of Governor Lehman,
cancelled a trip to Europe a few
days ago. The hearing is in con-
rection with the bankruptcy cases
of Michael F. Longo and the Lancia
Motors Company.
1t is expected that lawyers for
the stockholders Of Lancia Motors,
forced into bankruptcy, it is be-
lieved, by the Royal Indemnity Com
pany, are expected to ask Warder
in what manner he expressed his
friendship with Ferrari. Ferrari
was president of the City Trust
Company, which failed ten days
after his death. Warder had given
his approval to city trust loan for
81 100000.

maker, while the youngest girl, just
arrived from Venezuela, brought her
work home from the dress factory.
The milliner is very militant and
would make an excellent speaker.
She told US that the Spanish speak
ing girls in her shops were made to
work fifteen minutes longer than
the other girls and when they came
in one minute late they were locked
for fifteen minutes. She makes
about $22 week at piece work and
led a spontaneous strike in her
shop a year ago.
May Day Adherents.
Helen Zarraga, the dressmaker,
had just left one shop where she
worked on kimonos because the boss
made her work three and four hours
overtime without pay. She is now
working on dresses, piece work, and
makes between S22 and S25 a week.
These girls, together with their
younger sister and mother, will all
be present at the May Day demon
stration in the Coliseum.
We found a Porto Rican family
on the East Side, the father of who
had been unemployed for six months
before finding a job as elevator OPP
orator at S21 per week. His wife
took her work home and between
cleaning and cooking tried to make
something on making lamp shades.
She got $3.75 per dozen. If she
was a fast worker it would take
her days to make a dozen.
From Father to Children.
Home work is a common institu-
ton here. We found many mothers
and young girls working on dresses,
ornaments and lamp shades in the
kitchen of their homes.
The father of this family we found
living at 1859 Madison Ave-, where
he paid $40 for five rooms. He is
tobacco worker, 81 years old, and
makes SIS per week. His son, who
lives with him, works as an errand
boy and makes $12 per week. From
father to son and daughter, it is
all work, and nothing but work.
Must Stay Here.
AS the daughter said: "Why
should we remain here? All we do
is work and work in order to pay
rent and buy food. After that we
have nothing left"
Almost every Latin-American
worker we spoke to said that he was
planning to go back to his home
country where he did not have to
salve as much as here. But one
needs money for that and after pay
ing for rent and food there is moth
ing left.
