Toledo Worker.
by a Worker Correspondent
TOLEDO, Ohio (by mail) - The
Unemployed Council poured out 1900
copies of the Daily Worker at the
Overland Plant, where a 40 per cent
wage slash all over the plant took
place yesterday and the workers are
just verging on the point of strike.
There were also about 1900 waiting
at the gates for a job.
Chevrolet are displaying a sign
No Help Wanted, and about 500 men
are waiting outside.
The workers are showing distinct
signs of revolt and the unemployed
council anticipates a busy time in
the near future.

every morning there are hundreQs OF
workers, men and women, waiting
in line to get a job Of any kind at
the miserable wages that this food
trust pays. But the man in charge
of employment comes out around II
o'clock, looks the crowd over and
selects two or three of the healthier

Race Segregation.
Negro help is being hired in a
different hall than the white work
ers. The division of the workers
not only exists in the Automats
where they work, but also in the hall
where the workers offer to sell their
labor.
The unemployment among food
workers is great not only among
cafeteria workers. 1t also prevails
among the other departments, such
as hotels, restaurants and lunch
rooms. At the Penn Athletic Club

NEW YORK, January 6.-An event
Of first-rate Importance in international
finance will take place next Saturday,
when the Japanese government resumes
full participation in the gold standard.
Announcement that the gold embargo
would be lifted was made late last
November, after long and arduous
preparations. Included in the arrange
ments was a temporary credit OF
100000 yen. or approximately $780,
600, 900, of which one-half was extend
ed by American banking houses, while
the other half was arranged in London.
OF the important belligerent nations
that were forced to depart from the
gold standard by the World War and
the period of imitation that followed.
Japan is the last to adopt measures
for international gold payments. The
problem was an acute one, since the
postwar initiation In Japan was carried
to further lengths and lasted longer
than in most other countries. Vexlng
complications were introduced, more
over, by the destructive earthquake OF
1923, which disrupted the national
economy for time and occas.oned
extraordinary expenditures.
