Bviews of other delegations.
Bank Power Big Question.
Greater than any other question
appearing on the surface, is the
scope of the banks powers. On
this, three supposedly separate views
are reported:
81. To reduce Though why the
term "reduce" should be used for
functions not yet established except
as subtle American propaganda
the bank to a Preparations receiving
station, taking over the functions of
the Agent General for Preparations
under the Dawes Plan"
This seems to be the British pro-
posal, as it logically flows from
their international financial position
of defense against American finan-
cial power, though the reports given
out do not state which delegation
proposes this.
"2. To make the bank clearing
house for banks of ISSUE"
This second idea is openly es-
poused by the American delegation,
which explains" their determination
to 'limit" the banks function to
that of clearing house for central
banks (of the various nations), in
,luding the receiving of PREPARATIONS
4 under the Young Plan. This obvious
\ Iy makes PREPARATIONS the secondary
rather than the primary business of
the bank, and would open the way
for aggressive American finance
imperialism to gain actual control
under the Notwithstanding idea of
it being a mere clearing house."
"3. To establish a world super
bank competing with financial in
stitutions already operating interna-
tionally."
U. S. Anxious To Control.
This third idea is unidentified as
to origin, but it's statement reveals
certain things. Firstly, the fact that
the American delegation opposes
this, is not proof that they have not
given initial currency to the idea,
since by opposing it in favor of the
second they can appear to be ready
to give way to opposition which not
only fears American control, but any
control over national interests-at
the same time securing through the
clearing house" arrangement the
practical essence of control.
Secondly, while American finance
capital wants to control European
finance through the bank, it by no
means wants the bank to be such a
world super-bank" as would limit
or supervise the American Federal
Reserve.
Upon this specific issue of jealous
guardianship of American interests,
the American delegation is as touchy
as any other, laying down as uncon-
ditional that, whatever the banks
scope may be, the Federal Reserve
of America must have a veto right
on whatever operations of the bank
affect American finance. They cite
as an example, and very important
example, that should the bank wish
to sell bonds in the United States,
the approval of the Federal Reserve
would have first to be secured. APP
parently, the prospective bonds
against reparations, one of the big
successes" of the Hague confer
ence, may thus be issued only by
consent of American finance capital.

NM(J LEADS FIGHT
ON AVELLA CUTS

(Continued from Pare One)
we'll know this impossibility.
2-That this yardage cut in entry
rates was but feeler to gauge the
sentiment fthe miners: if this cut
went through without resistance
then the company would know they
could put across as many more cuts
as they wished.
Watches Boss.
The special meeting decided that
it could not call strike in support
of the entry men, as the base for
such a strike was removed by the
transferance of the men to other
working places. However, the local
union decided that in the event there
is a wage cut in the P. & W. mine,
special meeting shall be called to
undertake the necessary measures to
stop the wage cut.
The pitt boss promised the men
45c. for each car of slate loaded in
the entries, but Mr.. Hall at a meet
ing of the bosses emphatically for
bid any dead work in the entries.

fight any discharges or discrimina-
ton.
Exposes U. NJ. w. A.
The N. M. U. has issued a state
ment, explaining the situation to the
miners, and pointing out that strike
action is the only thing the boss
really pays much attention to, The
statement says:
"There are some men in the P. d
w. mine who still support the United
Mine Workers of America. and who
believe that the U. M. w. A. is COM

very sincere and to them we wish
to point to the record Of the U. M.
w. A., record Of sell outs and be-
trayals as bad as union has ever been
damned with. The strikes since 1919
have been 'won,' even the last strike
of 1928 was won The miners
know that all the strikes have been
won for the coal operators and lost
by the miners. The winning was of
such nature that the U. M. w. A.
lost over 100000 members, and what
remain of it today is only through

WEEKLY WAGES

1ue average HuuD6E Ol uUuIS
work weekly is between 55 and 60.
Women work nights in every south
ern state. About 80 per cent of the
women work at night. In North
Carolina the mills may legally work
children between the ages of IA and
16, sixty hours a week if they have
completed the fourth grade in
school. The laws of other southern
states are just as bad. But even
these laws, are not enforced. In a
recent investigation it was found
that nearly 10 per cent of the work.
ers in the mills went to work before
they were ~ years old.
Wages Really Lower.
The actual wage received in the
Gastonia section has been much
lower than this. Worker after
worker has testified to 81 and SO
weekly wages. The bosses have
tried to represent that the use of
company houses, and social serv-
ice," welfare" etc, makes up for
the low wage in money. In flat
contradiction to this is the evidence
of the workers, who show that the
company houses are, unsanitary, cold
in winter, sweltering in summer,
without adequate bathing, lighting
and water supply.
Most mill villages have pumps or
open dug wells, one for every five
or twenty families. and the water
has to be carried and stored.
Company Prices High.
| Furthermore, furniture, groceries,
and clothing bought at the company
stores is source of profit, through
high prices, for the companies.
Thus, an investigation committee
of the Durham, N. c., central labor
union found that the diet of a mill
hand in cotton mill villages, where
practically all the income is spent
for food, is sausage or fried "fat
back" for breakfast; corn bread or
biscuits with "fat back" beans or
potatoes for dinner, with either
sugar or milk but seldom both, for
the coffee. The supper was a repe-
tition of the dinner. What green
vegetables used were scarce, and
confined for the most part to cab
bage. The average grocery bill, in
Guiding kerosene for lamp lights,
was 1920 week. Mems and
women's clothing in the company
stores was 40 per cent higher than
the standard retail price. Furniture
(mill houses are unfurnished) is so
per cent higher. Practically all the
buying is done on the 81 down and
81 week plan, which keeps the
worker in peonage to the company
which owns the store.

NIGHT SESSIONS

The plans of leaders to adjourn the

before starting the regular sessions
December , were scrapped today
when the senate voted down n res
ohtiOn proposing such recess, 81

An agreement later was made for
the senate to sit every night, begin
ming tonight, from 7:30 to 1890
O'Clock to speed up work on the
tariff bill.
The adjournment resolution was
Offered by Senator Simmons OF
North Carolina, ranking Democratic
leader in revenue matters, who said
there was not sane man in either
house who believed there was a pos.
sibility of passing the pending tariff
bill before the regular session. He
asked Republican leaders about a
resolution which was supposed to
have been offered today by Senator
Acting Republican Leader Jones to
provide for such an adjournment.
When he was informed the Re
publicans had decided not to support
the adjournment, Simmons accused
them of "playing small party poll
tics" and offered the resolution him
self.
Twelve Democrats refused to fol-
low Simmons leadership and joined
with the Independent Republicans
and some Of the regulars to. defeat
the move.
This means that the senate will
stay in session up to the opening Of
