Forty thousand men and women, earning comfortable livelihoods un- til the rush of water came down from the Black Mountains through the Tarn, Aveyron and Garonne rivers, have had no work since that fateful night of March 5.
 Until this catastrophe occurred, unemployment was virtually un- known. Government lists showed only 1859 persons receiving doles. Ther were l50,0O0 Italians and 75,- 900 Spaniards at labor in southern France and 100000 Poles and nearly 100000 Belgians working in the northern provinces. Of late, too. many Portuguese. shut off from Brazil by the coffee slump. have been earning wages in this country.

Boss Press Lies; Truth
Only in Our DAILY"

Indian dispatches, more and more
distorted by counter-revolutionary
capitalist correspondents as the re-
volutionary movement grows, never
theless reveal this growth in the
news that Saturday the Sikh Lea
que, meeting at Amritsar, decided to
support the revolutionary movement.
While the dispatches idiotically try
to make out that this is support
for Gandhi," the fact that it is not,
is. obvious from the circumstance
known by everyone that the Sikhs
are fighters and by no means can
be imagined to be pacifists.
Their action means a new proof
of the inability of British imperial
ism to rule India by provoking So
called communal" fights between
different religions; it means also
that all Sikhs, who have been for
England the backbone of the native
armed forces of repression, are
turning against Britain and will
give their fighting qualities to the
revolt.
The rottenness of the capitalist
press dispatches is visible in their

be opened before 8 a. m. 1t was
evident that this had been done at
the instigation of the company Of
ficials, who are trying to do every
thing possible to prevent the spread
of the strike.
The drivers adjourned to various
in the neighborhood, in
order to talk over the situation, but
were not permitted to remain long,
as the police entered these places,
located in the neighborhood of 136th
and 18th Sts., on Broadway, and
ordered the men out and back to
Some who did not move
fast enough were roughly handled.
Spreading Strike
For from being discouraged, the
men are more determined than ever
to broaden the struggle and tie up
the rest of the company's garages
completely, as they have already
tied up the four Brooklyn garages
and the East Thirteenth Street,
garage. There are three
garages Ivy "'>o''n+ing, located al

CHARGE JUDGE VAUSE
GOT $25G;OOO BRIDE

Surely not the last, but the latest
full-sized graft scandal among New
York officials is the official charge
by the Federal District Attorney
that the Sinking Fund Commission,
with Mayor Walker as chairman,
granted three pier leases to the
United American Lines which were
arranged for by bride of $250,0OO
to Judge w. Bernard Vause of the
Kings County Court.
On this Sinking Fund Commission
are Joseph V, Mckee, Acting Mayor,
and Charles W. Berry, Comptroller.
The charge against the Tammany
Sinking Fund Commission arose in
directly out of investigation into the
Columbia Finance Company, fake
banking enterprise which lost its
investors 100000, and as a result
of which loss they had to charge
Judge Vause with using the United
States mails to defraud.
Vause's method of collecting the
$250,000 was to have it made in
several payments by the company
TO Joseph S. Boyle, a lawyer en-
ployed by him. This money was
then turned over to a fake name
which Nause admits was used his
brother.
