BERLIN, February 1l-Where leisure
~ dining once was traditional, it is
rapidly gulping its way TO the front in
the International quick lunch handicap
In Berlin the places dedicated to
hasty nourishment are so numerous and
varied that one can always find q place
exactly suited to ones ,unch-time tenn
po. whatever it may be. There are hun
dredS of large and small "konditOrei,
or cafes, where the man in a hurry can
sink into an overStuffed armchair as
though about to relax for the rest of
the afternoon, and order, receive and
eat in q quarter OF an hour one of the
excellent light luncheons such places
always are prepared TO whisk out OF
the kitchen.
There are scores of Bullets in which
one buys over the counter very quickly
what the appetite requires. Buffet
tables. just the right height, make 1t
easy to eat standing up, without both
ering TO remove hat or Overcoat just
as fast. and sometimes faster, are the
automatic lunch rooms scattered all
over the business and shopping sections
Of Berlin With few 10-pfennig pieces

a cup of coffee in less than five minutes.
Perhaps the quickest OF the quick
lunch temples Of Berlin are the pay
as-you-enter places. Customer walks

Problem OF Living
On G4OO a Year

in the Opinion Of the
Constituents of MANY.

Nv the Associated Press.
LONDON, February l1.-How 70 keep
up appearances on the equivalent OF
$4,000 year is becoming rather acute
problem for some members Of the Brit
iSh House of Commons.
Until recent years the adequacy OF
the official salary of f400 hardly mat
tered, for seats in Parliament went al
most exclusively 10 men OF means.
In the present House. however, there
are many Labor members. Some OF
these augment their income by writ
ing: others receive allowances from
their trade union: still others try to
live on their f400 a year.
It Is a delicate situation for the dis
treSsed NJ. P.'s Elected in many cases
by constituents who look upon E400
year as a lot of mon@y they cannot be
too loud in their criticism of the pres
ent wage.
What makes matters no better is the
fact that in some provincial conStitu-
encies f400 a year is indeed not to be
shifted at. In LONDON, however, IT is
worth no more than $4,000 a year in
New York.

COLORADO SAYS
STRIKES ILLEGAL
Outlaws Struggle for
Union or More Pay

DENVER, Colo, Feb. 12.-If an
employer wants to change from
union shop conditions to the open
shop, it does not constitute change
in working conditions So has
ruled the State Industrial Commits
sion, whose approval must be OBJ
tanned on changes in working con-
ditions before a strike or lockout is
legal.
Workers robbed of their union
contract therefore cannot legally
strike, under the commissions rul-
ing. The decision is in line with
anti-labor rulings handed down by
the commissioners since the Hoover
industrial commission began func-
tioning.
Three times in less than two
months the commission has decided
petitions of workers for improved
conditions in favor of their employ
ers. When the building laborers and
structural iron workers asked for
raises in wages, the commission
quoted the anti-labor pact between
Pres. Hoover and Pres. Green of the
ALL. as outlawing higher wages.

PHILADELPHIA.-While scores
Of confectionery plants are closing
down, many hundreds of candy
makers are being thrown out of
work. Blumenthal Bros, a large
candy factory, in the northeastern
part of the city, making cheap penny
and several for a penny candies,
are working night and day.
The workers in Blumenthal's are
bitterly exploited. For long hours
experienced adult workers receive
S21 week with promises of raises
some time in the future. The raises
are never given.
So cheap is this candy manufac-
turer that the chocolate and other
ingredients at once eat through the
trousers of the men employed. Need
less to remark Blumenthal Bros. do
not pay for the clothes ruined daily,
and after deducting the amounts
needed for clothes requirements, not

Here is a "labor agent" Samuel

criminals, but hates Communists.
He thinks in the Daily News, Feb
ruary 4, that the police who shot a
worker and dubbed many others
were too gentle to the Communist
workers. There is a reason for his
sympathy for criminals. This man
was convicted for smuggling left
wing worker who was not satisfied
with his leadership, but the Judge,
as usual, sympathized with this
gangster and suspended his SEN

This man claims that he repre-
sents labor, and that he expresses
the sentiment of his thousands of
members" AS a matter of fact the
local he represents has only three
to four hundred members. Both
the drivers and the inside local have
probably only a 1000 members

The workers are so we'll "satis-
fled" with his rule that they refuse
to pay dues and many drop out.

Mass Demonstrations
Against Berenguer
Regime Grow in Spain

MADRID, Feb. 12.-Mass demon
strations against the Berensuer
dictatorship, which is continuing The
policy of the Primo de Rivera fascist
rule, are increasing. During the
past few days protest meetings
and demonstrations were held IN
Madrid and many pro vincial cities.
The severe crisis in Spain is in
tensifying. The petty-bourgeols
and student elements are attac"'n g
the Berenguer regime openly. AT an
anniversary banquet concentrating
the short-lived Spanish republic OF
1878. which was sanctioned by the
Berenguer cabinet, speeches were
prohibited. However, upon the IN
sisted demand of those present, Ale
iandro Lerroux, representing dis
contented bourgeois elements, at
tackled the Berenguer dictatorship as
a direct continuation of the Primo
De Rivera regime. .,
In San Sebastian the police broke
up a mass demonstration against the
dictatorship. Reports from sa'a-
nance said that student denionssfa-
tions in The university city were
becoming violent. The Civic Guards
charged the crowds. Troops heavily
armed patrolled the city.

Club Workers Harder, Says Gangster,
Labor Faker

This union had many explosions and
has lost membership continually. If
it was not for the sympathy and ac-
tive help of the bosses, the workers
would have gotten rid of them long
ago. If the bosses did not collect
dues for the gang from the pay en-
velopes of the workers every once
in a while, he would be out in the
streets with the rest of the unem-
ployed.
AS worker in the cleaning trade
I want to say that this misleader
does not represent the sentiment Of
many workers; they follow the
Trade Union Unity League. The
Cleaners and Laundry Workers In
dustrial League is organizing the
workers on an industrial basis in
stead of splitting them as the takers
do. Lately this gang of grafters
was defeated in several attempts to
GUST workers from the shops, and
this gangster may soon wake up to
find an end to his representation"
I call upon all the workers in the
trade to ropudiate the lying state
ment that the gangster Goldberg
represents them, and to join the
Cleaners and Laundry Workers In
dustrial League, 26 Union Square,

To keep us from making real

the apron company, but never the
question of more pay and less hours.
Many of the committee members

they know everything is faxed am

The company union is the bosses
means of keeping us from building

We must join that and fight for a

Undoubtedly the rapid advance
