Docks OF Hambnrg" And

Great photography, but Horatio

Docks of Hamburg" the Ufa pic
ture at the Eighth st. Playhouse.
This German film concerns itself
with the conversion of good" man,
a second mate on a German ship,
into "bad" man, through the vile
influence Of a cabaret girl on the
Hamburg docks, and the conversion
of the cabaret girl into a good
girl through the second mates in
fluence, ending in the arrest of a
gang of smugglers. Hollywood
never could beat this one.
Tawdry as anything, copied from
the cheapest of American films, a
cheap story which even fine acting
and daring photography of the Ham

Jenny Lupo portrays the cabaret
girl, good acting by beautiful girl.
A short scientific film, "Evolu-
tion," is instructive and entertain

Marty was sentenced to death. But
the pressure of the revolutionary

of 20 years in prison. So effective
was the campaign carried on by the

that not only were other revolution

oENhTOR BLEASE
LAUDS LYNChING
CONSTITUTION to He'll,
Never Protect Negro

UNION, S. c., July s.-Senator
Cole L. Blease of this state, cam
paigning for reelection, is also de-
liberately whooping up the business
men and plantation owners to lynch
Negroes. He refers to them as
'|rapists," although it is well known
that very few Of the cases of lynch
ing take place around a genuine
ease of rape. Wherever the rape
excuse is made, it is usually merely
an outright fiction, a camouflage
for white terror intended to crush
Negro workers who object to con-
dition of virtual slavery. Most of
the recent and increasingly numer-
Gus lynehirg cases do not even pre-
tend to be punishment for rape.
They arise directly out of attempts
to swindle Negroes by white store
keepers, or refusal of white planta-
ton owner to pay wages due.
Blease in his speech here yester-
day declared: whenever the con-
stitution comes between me and the
virtue of the white women of South
Carolina, l say TO hell with the

MACDONALD COPS
KILL z EGYPTIANS
Mass Rehabilitation Is
Growing in Egypt

CAIRO, Egypt, July 8.-Twelve
rounds of bullets were discharged
into a crowd of angry workers and
peasants by the Egyptian ,.rmed
force of the social-fascist and inn
perialist Macdonald on Tuesday.
Four were killed. Two of them
were workers. The fight lasted
long time.
The clash started when govern
ment troops and police appeared,
with bayonets, to prevent the motor
car of Nasha Pasha, the national
ist bourgeois Wafdist leader, from
driving in Mansura, which is a
Wafd stronghold. The Egyptian
government has prohibited yhe use
of the Delta for the Wafdist dele
gates, who are planning to hold
meeting in Mansura. The Wafdist's
delegates were on their way to Man
sura, despite government orders not
to use the railway, and were net by
government troops and police, and
the clash followed.
The Egyptian workers and pea
SAINTS, whose suffering under the
double oppression of native reaction
and British imperialism is tremen-
dously aggravated by the resent
worldwide economic crisis, are rad
icalized. Revolutionary sentiment
among the masses is growing, but
there is not yet a strong, organized
proletarian leadership.
Although the Wafdists still ex-
ercise considerable influence among
the Egyptians, militant class con
scious workers of Egypt have nc il
fusion in the Wafdists, who have re-
peatedly betrayed the Fgyutjan
people and capitulated to the Brit
ish imperialists.

CHICAGO PAPERS
TIED With THUGS
Accuse Each Other of
Activities in Gangland

CHICAGO.-The Chicago Tribune
has printed a copyright special ar
ticle which ended with the words:
"Who killed Jake Lingle? This in
vestigator ventures the forecast
that the world at large will never
know"
But the Tribune has already ad-
mitted in print the charge that
Lingle, exposed gang fixer, racke-
teer>and extortionist, though on the
Tribune payroll, hardly ever wrote
a story. 1t has also admitted that
he flashed lots of money, at one
time believed to have been inher-
tied, though public records have
shown for years that the estate he
was supposed to have entered into
totalled only $500.
A new turn was taken with the
publication of a story in the Tri-
3une tending to show that the Daily
News was just as bad in dealing
with known underworld characters.
This is another round in the news
raper war for news and circulation
that, in Chicago at least, has never
stopped short of murder and cor
ruption.
Meanwhile, George Barker, most
brutal and vicious of the police
red" raiders, has been suspended
for toting gangsters around the
Loop and being fired upon. In the
fusillade of bullets two spectators
were hit, but Barker, by supreme
miracle or else by prearrangement,
escaped injury while bravely but
unsuccessfully firing in all direc-
tons but the right one. The red"
squad, however, was in heavy
marching order, with gas bombs,
brass knuckles and guns, to Geal
with the National Unemployment
Conference of the Trade Union
Unity League, held July and 5.
Murderers may escape, but men
and women agitating for Jobs and
better conditions will be lucky if
they escape the worst of police
violence.

AVERAGE WAGE is sos
A YR. STUDY ON WAGES
SHOWS; WAGE CUTS BIG
Workers Share of National Income" Is
Getting Less Each Year
SO P. C. Get Less Than $4,000 a Year; Other
One P. C. Get 13 P. c.. of Annual Income"

The lying hokum of the bosses
and their lackeys about the increas-
ing wages and the high standard of
living of the American workers has
been exposed by the facts collected
in a recent study published by the
National Bureau of Economic Re
search, 1.-THE National Income and
It's Purchasing Power" by W. l.
King. These figures show that not
only is the small financial oligarchy
growing richer, but that the work
ers are growing poorer and poorer,
receiving less and less of what they
produce eacn year.
In 1923, the workers received
36.05 per cent of the national
income" But this is exactly the
same percentage thai they receive
in 1910. Since 1926. the workers
share" has even taken a sharp
drop from 3611 per cent to 81
per cent in 1927 and 36.05 per cent
in 1928, according to Kings book.
Monopoly profits, on the other
hand, have been mounting sky
high.
Analyzing income in terms of
1918 dollars, Kings figures show
that 1892 per cent of all those
earning incomes in the United
States get under $4,000 a year. The
other one per cent, who own the
industries AMI the means of produc-
ton Of the country, get 13 per cen;
of the income.
If we look at the absolute figures,
Kings facts show that the average
wage in 1913 was 1854, but had only
risen to sos in 1928 figured in
1918 dollars In other words, while
the worker in 1928 was nominally
earning an average Of $1,205 for
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1930-07-09

the year, in reality, the increase in
the actual buying power of his in
come was Is per cent, because the
dollar in 1923 could buy only less
than two-thirds of the 1913 dollar.
It is to be noted that while King
gives all these facts, he tries to
avoid drawing the logical conclu-
sions from them. Furthermore, he
doesn't have word to say about
the wage-cuts and sweeping unem-
ployment that have further cut into
the miserable annual income of
millions of workers.
Figures published by the Labor
Bureau Inc. of New York show that
"A establishments have cut the
wages of 1900 workers. This, the
Bureau admits, is only one figure
out of a tremendous number which
hey haven't been able to tabulate.
The Bureau continued to record
wage cuts in April. as well as a
drastic decline in wage increases.
1t reports 25 wage cuts in April.
There IS no complete record of the
thousands of wage cuts that have
been made all over the country.
They have grown by leaps and
bounds in the last month or two.
In addition, the Wall Street mon
opolists have succeeded in passing a
Tariff that will increase the cost of
living of the American working
class by at least 20 per cent, ac-
cording to conservative estimates.
1t is in the industries which this
tariff is supposed to protect" that
the lowest wages are paid. Thus, in
1927, the average wage paid in
manufacturing was 81, PIG, or around
$40 a week; in mines, quarries and
oil wells, S1,224; in construction
S1,644, etc.
