 NOW RINGING,
 ONE QUESTION
Single Issue Remains Be. fore Settlement Is Be-
 lieved Concluded

PARIS, June LA single ques- ton remained today in the way of a settlement of the Preparations problems, awaiting word from Ber- lin which will remove that ques- tion, of Belgian remuneration for German marks left in Berlin after occupation.
 This question was thought to have been settled yesterday with an agreement between Belgium and Germany in the matter by nego- tiations but overnight there devel- oped obstacles.
 Belgium has appointed M. Cult as representative for conference but Germany has not yet named an envoy.
 Emil Francqui, head of the Bel gium Preparations delegation, refus- ed to sign the settlement until actual mark negotiations have been started.
 The conferees believe the situa- ton is merely an overnight delay on the part of Germany and the members of the Preparations Con- mission are merely marking time.

Eagle Mountain Resort
Boss Brutal to a Sick
Worker in the Laundry
(Bn a Worker CorrespOndent)

JACKSON, N. H. (By MaiD.-
Capitalist brutality in one of its
most hideous forms was very well
examplified at the Eagle Mountain
House, Jackson, N. H. A young
man working in the laundry became
sick and had to stop work and go
to bed. His bed, with six others, is
located over smelly stable, noisy
at night with the stamping of horses
and further made into a firetrap by
tons of hay on all sides.
The nearest doctors office is three
miles away with very steep grade
to climb on returning. The man was
in bed three days before the boss
visited him, because he had to put
man in the laundry from another
job. On the fourth day the sick
man asked to be taken to the doc
tod, at his own expense, and the
boss kept him waiting around for
hours.
He went back to work next day,
tho he was still unwell. Of course
he could not do the heavy part of
the work. The next day the boss
came up to him in the laundry and
said, eve don't want sick men
around here, so you had better get
cut. The car will take you to the
station, so be ready in a few min
utes or you will walk"
Only workers and farmers gov
eminent can and will abolish such
brutal treatment of workers and
safeguard the health of the workers
above everything, as is done in the
Union of Socialist Soviet Republics

l work at the Chesterfield Furni-
ture Company factory at 295 YER
non Avenue, Long Island City and
l wish to tell of the poor conditions
for the workers there.
There are about 200 men working
in this shop. The upholsterers are
organized, being affiliated with the
A. F. of L. The rest-the varnish-
ers, cabinet makers, are mostly un-
organized.
The speedup is fierce. The men
are forced to stand on their feet all
day, not being allowed to sit down,
or even bulge from their work
places except for lunch. If man
needs supplies he must call for a
boy-he cannot leave his place.
Certain workers, there over five
years, are supposed to be getting
the union scale---$44 a week. They
are getting $40 and SIS under the
scale.
The foreman is a bully, holleflng
at the men all day. The boss
Nathan Greenberg-comes around
and raises fuss over the slightest
thing, humiliating the men. If he
sees nail on the fleor-"pick it
up" he yells.
Varnishers get only $22 a week
for their hard work, and for this
are poisoned by the chemicals they
handle, which affect the heart.
The formation of a shop commit
tee, which will yet be the basis of
militant furniture workers union,
this will help US end this slavery.

WORKING WOMEN
At CAL. CANNERY
CHEATED IN PAY
Sold Out in Strike by
A. F. of L.
by a Worker Correspondent

OAKLAND, Cal. (By MaiD.-
During this rush season the Nelson
Cannery Co. employed about 300
workers. Canning is seasonal work
and the working hours even for wo-
men are ~ to Is. We have only
about 20 minutes for lunch and
scarcely half an hour evenings.
Working mothers of other indus
tries can well picture the lot of the
cannery working mother, who has
scarcely time to eat and rest, let
alone tending to her children.
Cheating Out of Overtime Pay.
The cannery is supposed to pay
overtime rate of time and a quarter
to those working over 8 hours and
time and a half working over IL
hours. Because we are not permit
ted to punch our own time, we are
being cheated out of overtime pay
daily. Our time is punched by the
time counter, Mrs. Green. AS she
comes in late mornings, she punches
the time an hour or so later and
leaving early evenings she does the
same. Thus we are cheated abou
2 to hours overtime daily for
which the company does not have to
pay higher overtime rate.
In the canning department the
day workers are supposed to start
working $50 a. M, but the boss
makes them start 7.15, with no pay
for the extra Is minutes put in
daily. The day workers rate is only
33 1-3 cents an hour. On piece work
for canning we get 91a cents per
tray of dozen cans provided they
are packed perfect and 3 cents if a
flaw is found in the packing. Of
course this flaw often exists because
it is to the bosses advantage.

How Disarmament Is
Imperiatlist Humbug

LONDON, Oct. 2.-The delu-
sion that any disarmament" agree
ment might effect world naval
ornaments or settle imperialist con-
flicts, is seen in the "Times" state
ment that the Admiralty plans to
turn British dockyards, if and
when disarmament" is greed on,
to building warships for smaller
naval powers and constructing ocean
liners, the former naturally to fall
in with some imperialist great
power, and the latter to add to ship
ping competition. Merchant ships
are now generally built with an
eye for transformation to war
ends, with gun bases, etc.
