GEN. JADWIN VARIES Jobs
: THROUGH LONG CAREER
Retired Chief of Engineers to Make
Survey of st. Lawrence
Power.

y NEW YORK, October 4 (N.A.N.A).-
After young Edgar Jadwin left West
Point at the head of his class, in 1890,
he, was picked to take charge of the
Governments improvements on Ellis
Island, where the immigrants land.
Now, 20, years later, he is called from
retirement to head a board~of engineers
to survey the power possibilities of the
st. Lawrence River, This comes only
a few months after he decided not, to
accept appointment by President Hoover
to head the Federal Power Commission.
Not many meIf-alive have done as
many things TO the face of the earth
in as many places as has Lieut.. Gen.
Jadwin, whose headquarters on this new
job are here in the Graybar Building.
He directed Mississippi flood control,
of the Ohio River, build
ing of the Galveston sea wall, much
Panama Canal construction, sanitary
work in Cuba, and important jobs in
various States.
At one time he commanded 100000
men building roads, railroads. bridges,
barracks, warehouses and hospitals for
the A. E., F.. in France. He led the
18th Engineers, the first American con-
tingent to pass through England under
arms. More recently he has been chief
of Army Engineers at Washington and
has supervised work in the Hackensack

LONDON, October 4.-DelegateS to
the Imperial Conference are spending
the week end mentioning in various
parts of England and Scotland. Prime
Minister Macdonald had Premier Ben
nett of Canada and his family as his
guests at the prime minister's country
home, ChequerS.
Such work as proceeded over the week
end was principally in preparation for
Wednesdays plenary session, which
some concerned think may have to be
put over until Thursday or possibly
Friday. Empire trade will be discussed.
Tariff questions have come to the fore
in discussions outside the actual meet
ing rooms. There seems preponder-
ance of protectionist feeling among the
representatives from outside the British
Isles, and anti-government factions say
that the Macdonald ministry is worried
because this is so.
It is charged that the prime minister
and his cabinet fear that tariff discus
sions here may strengthen sentiment in
the isles for adoption Of protection as
a policy and give agitation for protective
tariffs an unwanted boost.

Dear Comrades:
Former Ambassador James W..
Gerard recently compiled list of
"the SO rulers of America"
Prof. Robert E. Rogers, of Mass
achusetts, compiled a list of "the IS
intellectual and spiritual rulers"
We see that the ruling class ex-
poses their own insane system of
society. They admit that the econ
omical problem of the worker de-
ponds on only so millionaires and
that the workers mind is confused
and poisoned by only 25 dope ped
dlers.
So long as we must live under the
capitalist dictatorship the Daily
Worker" is a splendid weapon to
combat boss theology and to slim
ulate mental revolution. When suf-
ficient number of workers are class
conscious the economical revolution
will be an easy task.

STOOL DESPISED
BY ALL WORKERS
Fight Workers Effort to
Organize Into Union
Frackville, Pa.

Frackville, Pa.
Daily Worker:
A stool pigeon in the stockroom
makes conditions miserable for all
concerned in the new building of
the H. D. Bob Shirt Co., here.
He was responsible for the dis
charge of number of boys on ac-
count of his squealing to the boss
He is chicken-hearted and fears his
job. He works Sundays and holidays
and expects all others to do likewise,
or he will make it mean for them.
Works on Labor Day.
The men wanted Labor Day off,
they all united together and told
the boss they were not coming out;
they had Labor Day off. They knew
the boss couldn't very we'll fire
eight boys from one department dur
ing the rush season.
But the chicken-hearted stool pi-
geon came out and worked half q
day to keep in the bosses good
graces.
Is Heartily Despised.
The stockroom stool pigeon is des-
pissed by all the employees in his
department, including the bosses.
His name is on the lips of many
girl employees, for his SANDER and
squealing.
For keeping him posted the boss
gave him a raise while old reliable
hands failed because they would not
tell all they knew, but they are re.
spected and admired by their fellow
workers, not despised and looked
down on.
Fights Union.
This stool pigeon discourages o
union. Some time ago the fellows
talked about a union for better
wages and shorter hours but the
stool pigeon told the boss. The boss
threatened to fire the men unless
they abandoned the idea.
IhlS factory, not unlike other fac
tories, is a shining example of lay
offs, speed-up and wage cuts.
9 Hour Day.
The boys work nine hours a day
for eight dollars a week. They also
work overtime until $3.50 and 1000
at night for 16 cents an hour. Many
do not get their proper rest as a
result. Along with this they must
work on Sundays and holidays.
In the midst of these conditions
the bosses and other overpaid Off
Gals are enjoying huge salaries.
The men and boys should build
shop committees in every depart
ment.

Daily Worker:
On this infamous city of Quaker
fakery, the home of the constitu-

slavery prevails. At least slaves
get something to eat and a place to
sleep, while capitalist slaves, the
workers, when out of work and with
out money starve and sleep on the
parks and the street.

I happened to pass under the
Broad street station bridge while it

about class justice that exists in the
capitalist courts and I want to con-
graduate the Daily Worker for try

of my decision to vacate if he did not

the rich. To me the only hope is

Seniority Means Nothing.
Seniority means little when it
comes to a layoff. The man draw
ing most pay is the one fired as
a rule. There was a scab who
helped break the strike some wears
ago laid off. The workers do not
feel heartbroken over him but it
shows the bosses have no use for
their finks when they can no long
err use them.
A PHILIPPINE worker who had his
collarbone broken was sent back
to work before it was well. He
could not stand the work and is
now back in the hospital. That
shows what a fake the work

are getting from 25 cents to 40

sometimes as low as 40 cents a
day, where Anderson and Barn

to 1000 men have practically shut
down, employing only dozen or
so men. The Communist Party is
actively organizing the workers.
Militant Sentiment.
The sentiment of the workers
here is very favorable. The Yetta
