Naturalization and Unemploy
ment on the Railroads

THE greatest net operating income on record
was earned by railroads in the u S. in 1929,
according to report published by the Bureau
of Railway Economics. The net operating in
come Of $50 Class railroads in 1929 amounted
to $1,274,774,000 as compared with S1,194, 487,-
900 in 1928 and s1,23l790,000 in 1926. The
total mileage operated by these roads is 241,-
S54.
The figures for 1929 represent an increase
of 81 per cent over 1928. Had it not been
for the developing economic crisis and the de-
crease in traffic during the closing months
of the year, the earnings of the rail magnates
would have been between Is and 20, per cent
greater than in 1928. This is indicated in the
fact that railroad earnings in the first eight
months Of 1929 were 20 per cent above those
in the first eight months of 1928, but were
cut to 1928 per cent in the ten months and to
8.4 per cent in the eleven months.
These fabulous earnings hardly satisfied the
railroad magnates, since, according to Edward
E. Looms, president of the Lehigh Valley Rail-
road, they failed to provide return to equal
the 5.75 per cent declared by the Interstate
Commerce Commission under the transportation
act"
The significant feature of the figures for
1929, however, is that they were piled up with
fewer workers operating the roads. This was
made clear by Loomis himself who stated that
"last years showing was made possible by
moving the largest volume of freight traffic
in history. !. Because of this record traffic
and because of the operating efficiency and
administrative economy. the railroads have
struggled up to the edge of per cent re-
turn, not particularly high reward according
to the standardssof other industries"
These pitiful tears of the Struggling" rail-
road magnates and the crying "injustice" OF
having only billion and quarter dollars to
divide among themselves for the year of 1929,
out of the total surplus taken from the workers
by the capitalist class, will undoubtedly soften
the hearts and the hardships of the thousands
of railroad workers thrown out of their JOBS.
In the past ten years, improved machinery or
new methods caused about 100000 railroad
workers to be dropped from the payrolls. Small
er crews have been handling the same and
even increased tonnage. Announcements like
the following frome Alexandria are typical for
the entire railroad Industry. Late in Feb
ruary, so train service men at Potomatc Yards,
Virginia. will be laid off because Of the install
lation of a car retarding device. Since Jan.
1, this year, 40 men in the car inspection de-
partment and 13 in the Locomotive department
have been given definite furloughs and are
due to 60. The cut in pay roll thus far has
been at the rate of 100000 a year"
At the same time wages for railroad work
crs are admittedly below the level Of 1920.

Letter From a Worker
Editor Daily Worker,
Dear comrade:

Lear comrade: ~ r, ~. =
! ask you to publish this letter i'll the Daily
Worker. / received two copies Of the counter
revolutionary paper Revolutionary Age from
the former Party member, F. Vratarich, Wilkes
Barre, Pa. When read that counter.revol1-
tionary paper, found that this paper is no
better than the Trotzkyists' party wrecking
paper.
At this moment when all the capitalist coun-
tries. attack the Union of Socialist Soviet Re-
publics and prepare war against it, these Party
-wreckers try to send their lying counter-revo-
lutionary papers to workers and try to tell
them that the Party is no good. And not only
that, but they have declared war on the Com
munist International and on the Soviet Union.
All workers know that the capitalists Of
every kind are the enemies of the workers.
But THIS bunch call themselves Communists,
and they all work against the Communist move
ment.
l ask them through the Daily Worker not to
send me their ounter-revolutionary paper any
more, because / support the Communist Inter-
national and you bunch of Party-wreckers will
not be able to draw me away from the COM
munist movement. The workers in the anthra-
cite region do not want your Partywrecking
policy and will take the mask off your face
so that everybody can see who you are. And
send me no more Counter Revolutionary Age"

Socialists Are Bribed by
Capitalists

BRUSSELS, Belgium (By Inprecorr Press
Service).--The Communist Deputy Jacquemotte
filed an Interpolation in the Chamber concer-
ming the corruption Of deputies by giving them
well paid posts on the boards Of capitalist
companies. He declared that the government
and the bourgeois parties were not only the
political instrument Of finance and industrial
canital. but that the bourgeois deputies were
bought outright by the distribution of such
posts. He, then declared that the socialist
deputies We'd with their bourgeois colleagues
in the competition to obtain such posts
The prime minister answered Jacquemotte's
Interpolation and was unable to deny the facts
quoted, he contented himself with attempting
to minimize. their Importance.

While being proud of our achievement, the
Party must not rest on its laures. Greater
tasks lie before the Party.

through of these campaigns, every District,
Section and Nucleus leadership is going to be
tested in the task of keeping the new men,
bers-involving them in mass activity-chang-

the Party to the shops-organizing classes for
the new members.

Charley Jones the best of fish tender service for his fishermen, and every cooperation that would insure good earnings for the summer. <,
 When the salmon began to run in Icy Straits, MT. Sebastian forgot that he had any fisher men at all. His promises were not worth two cents on a million dollars. He kept no promise.
 A mans bond-Or promise no better than he is.
 On the other hand
 Charley Jones promised Se- baStian, that he would fish fOl 5he Tyee cannery. Just before leaving for Tyee Charly was ap preached by Frank Barnes who made a nice inducement to Charley for fishing for Wran- gell cannery. Charley said :Why did you not ask me sooner, ] have promised Tyee I would f1sh mp there. I can't go back on my promise"
 A man is only as good as his promise. Charley made his prom ise good-Sebastian did not. The one whose honesty and integ rity cannot be challenged is 2 quiet spoken, Indian Alaskan ci izen.

CLOSED SEASON


 After the fishing season was closed in the Tyee district, Se- bastian-Stuart cannery at Tyee continued sending Q seiner up to Pybus Bay and he delivered not a few salmon.
 The fisherman was given a chance to earn a few dollars in order that he might be content 10 return another season.
 When the season was on, Tyee took care of only it's trap fish purchased in Icy Straits.

The Indian fisherman violated the law by fishing in a closed area during a closed season. If he would pay the fines. Sebastian-Stuart represents the plundering interests and have no place in the Territory.
