There was much argu- ment concerning admission of the patent assignment papers and war ranty deeds transferring title to property on Riverside avenue to Chiarello. The patent assignment paper was admitted this forenoon and translated to the jury.
 The widow of the slain man was recalled this morning and ques- toned concerning papers which a witness testified yesterday afternoon had been left at the Russo home. She said she had been unable to find any such papers in the house.

had mailed on trains in that section.
 An impressive array of officers as- sembled ill the region and secretly combed the countryside for the out law. Although a trap had been set for Fleagle, the meeting yesterday was by chance.
 Five officers noticed him on the platform at Branson. although they had expected to encounter him far ther south. AS Fleagle boarded the train he was covered by the officers. Instead of obeying a command to raise his hands, the bandit reached for his revolver. One of the officers fired, wounding him. After a tiger ish fight, Fleagle was subdued and admitted his identity. A telegram to Los Angeles detective headquarters indicated Lieut. Harry Wilde of that department fired the shot which may end the bandits life. Officers, how ever, refused to say who shot Fleagle.
 Used Teller as Shield
 In the holdup Of the Lamar bank, A. N. Parrish, president of the bank, and his son, John, cashier, were slain. E. E. kessinger. a teller, was Kidnapped, used as a shield by the bandits and late.' slain. Dr. Will liam Wineinger, of Dighton. kas., who treated one of the wounded rob- bers, was shot down, to prevent identification of members of the gang.
 Ralph Fleagle, brother of Jake, George J. Abshier and Howard Boys ton were executed at the Colorado penitentiary after confessing partlci- patton in the robbery.

 The board also voted to recom- mend to the council that authority be given 10 issue s150,000 sewer bonds, as it has been customary to make such issues from year to year and there is now only S2S,OO0 re- maining of the last issue. Commis- sioner Louis R.

 Welfare Expenses Up 200 P. c.
 Superintendent John l.. Doyle of | the public welfare department ad- dressed the board relative to the de- cision not to provide for his depart ment at this time by borrowing s50,- | 900 as had been contemplated. He said the public welfare department is spending s12.000 a month, which is 200 per cent more than the ex- penditures last year, and when the
 
 the common council at the regular meeting tonight there will be only S26,000 remaining on hand in the department budget.
 Chairman Judd replied that he 1 opposed the plan 10 provide for the public welfare department al this time. but when the emergenc, arises it will be attended to. The department will not be without funds until January at the present rate of expenditures and provision will be made then. He declared that while many deserving families do not apply for assistance unti they actually need it, there are others who would not hesitate te make demands before they deserved help if they knew there was suf t.>....t monc on hand.

cry of Europe. The work of these
emigre directors is over-adorned
hokum mainly. These spurious art
lists are fragments of an empire.
The veritable Russian artist of the
cinema is the utterance of the revo-
luton. Had there been no revolu-
tion, and had Eisenstein turned to
the film-which is itself improbable
- he might have made another
version of Oscar Wilde's The Pic
ture of Dorian Grey, that express
sion of an introverted aristocracy
which was made into a movie in
pre-Soviet days by Meierhold, the
stage director of Moscow, whose
assistant Eisenstein was prior to
entering the films.
The life-history of Eisenstein
reads dialectically. From an eng
ineering institute to da Vinci and
Freud. The engineering corps of
the Red Army, and the Red Army's
theatrical companies as designer
and director, The academy of the
general staff in the Japanese sec

been dialectic structures. He has
said that the future cinema will con-
cern itself with "conflict-conjunc-

dialectics) of an intellectual appeal
But the basis is already present in
the primitive film. He sees the Sow

The AMERICAN LABOR YEAR
BOOK, 1880. Published by Rand
School of Social Science, New
York. 448 Pages. Price $3.15.
THE RAND SCHOOLS "Ameri-
i can Labor Year Book" has, since
1916, the year of its origin, provided
in handy and condensed form much
valuable material: facts, dates, tab
les, names of organizations and per-
sons and history of events connected
with the class struggle. Through
much of this period it provided facts
In the less obviously political field
with fair degree of accuracy, and
with certain effectiveness, due ap-
parently to weak central control by
the socialist party over those who
actually did the work on the year
book.
The issue of 1880 Covering the
period of year 1929 is still valu-
able, in the sense that government
reports, even of a capitalistic, even
of a fascist government, are valu-
able to workers. You know they
lie, that they lie especially by the
subtle means of emphasis, conceal
ment of certain things, and report
ing of others of less general import
ance, but you take it fairly safely
for granted that whatever they ad-
nit to their own discredit, is at least
that bad, and no one knows how
much worse.
Thus when this years American
Labor Year Book says in its Inter
national Labor Diary: "July /
Elections in Finland: Socialists OBJ
tanned So seats go formerly); Com
munists secured % formerly 20)"
you can take that as an admission
of fact.
But due to growing fascisation of
the socialist party, and more aware
ness of the leaders of their special
mission of saving capitalism in
America, due probably to less hamp-
ering from real workers who drop
out of the party in larger and larger
numbers, and give way to labor
bureaucrats and petty bourgeois,
the Year Book of 1880 is shot thru
and permeated with socialist party
propaganda and anti-Communist
propaganda, rather more than you
will find in any capitalist govern
ment publication. Evidently a new
personnel is in charge of the book.
For example, the U. S. depart
ment of labor will admit there was
a great miners strike led by the Ma
tional Miners Union in Illinois last
December; but the American Labor
Year Book does not list this small
matter in its international Labor
Diary. Moreover, under the article,
Miners" over on page II, you find
a page and half of Apology for
the Fishwick machine, and six lines
on page 70 about the National Min
ers Union.

THE Washington Senators are con-
. tinuing to hold their lead in the
American League, with the Philly
Athletics right on their trail. AS
both leagues are getting further in
to the season the race for the pen
nant is constantly narrowing down.
Both of the New York teams are in
the fourth place, which is unusual
for them. The baseball world would
receive shock of their lives if one
of the New York teams did not fin
ish first. However, such is a DOS
sibility.
An innovation is being tried out
In professional baseball through
which the owners hope to increase
their shekels through the turnstiles.
AS it is at present it is difficult for
them to reach those workers that
have jobs, since baseball is being
played in the afternoon. The minor
leagues are being used to experiment
with night baseball, using flood
lights. If this proves successful the
major league owners will introduce
the system in the league. This night
baseball will enable them to draw
more workers to see the games.

4 e p Stores
MQkeQnAytOf
SIQUe DylUtng
By VI. S. (Chicago).

In working for the Atlantic and
Pacific Tea Company for over a
year I have come in touch with diff
ferent workers but with same opin-
ions. They all know how low their
wages are and how long the hours
are. They are always ready to dis
cuss their conditions which are
very bad. The wages for women
is $1,000 a week. The hours are
1012 during the week, and II hours
on Saturday. Twice a week we are
forced to work overtime for l or Z
hours without extra pay. When the
grocery order comes in we are forced
to put it up for the next day. The
managers of these stores are the
real slave drivers for the company.
They are paid a wage with certain
commission on the sales for the
week. When a new worker is hired
the manager gives the lowest wage
which he can get away with. The
manager makes them work overtime
for less pay, then keeps this extra
money for himself.
Twice a year they have contests
in the stores, to see which store will
make the biggest profit for the bos-
ses. Then each manager goes to
his clerks and tells them how Won
derful it will be if their store wins
the prize.
During the summer season busl-
ness drops considerably, which re-
suits in the lay-off of men workers
and the lowering of wages for those
who remain. Those wo do not want
to accept lower wage are forced
to quit working. The company
never suffers loss but as usual,
the unorganized workers are forced
to bear the result of the slack sea-
son by a cut in their wages.
The workers who buy in these
stores are cheated in the worst
fashion. The manager has to make
up for the food that spoils, so he
makes his clerks cheat on scales and
prices so as to make up for any
loss.
The clerks have to stand for all
kinds of insults from the customers.
The company has the slogan The
customers are always right" and we
are forced to abide by this and not
argue with them if they blame us
for anything, we must try in every
way to please them so as not to
lose business. Besides waiting on
customers we are forced to keep the
store clean. We never have min
ute's rest. The company superin-
tendent comes around every once in
while. When the manager knows
that he is coming he makes US work
much harder so as to have the store
nice and clean when he comes.
The only way for the men and
women workers in these chain stores
is to organize. They must speak
with one another and not let the
boss separate them.
As class-conscious workers we
must popularize our demands be-
fore all workers in all trades. Only
as an organized group will we be
able to get our demands which are:
seven hour day, five day week, social
insurance ,or the unemployed, equal
pay for equal work, etc.
We must join the industrial unions
of the Trade Union Unity League,
the militant trade union center of
the U. S. A.
